120 acres of towering sunflowers
in full head made quite a sight on
the farm of Hector McLean, south
of Amberley. The crop was owned
by George Wraith of Goderich.
Tom Anderson of Town probably,
never dreamed that the fairy tale of
the 'cows in the corn' could become.
a real life. drama with him playing
one of the leading roles. Tom was
pasturing quite a'tier.d of cattle on
his grass farm in Ashfield, ad-
joining the farm of John Plaster.
Mr. Plaster had a 90—acre field of -
tall corn which stood 8 to 9 feet
high. With other fields 'looking
greener' the cattle got through the
fence and 58 head of cattle
scattered through the huge ex-
panse of corn. Tom and John and
others who assisted spent all day
before they '.found' the cattle and
had them out of the corn, which
took quite a beating in spots.. They
probably thought that the prov
erbial 'needle in a haystack' had
nothing on 58 head of cattle in 90
acres of 8 to 9 foot high corn

A few months .previously . the
Village of Ripley had been given
wide publicity when it was reported
that the folk there had extra good
teeth rdue to fluorine -in the water
supply of that area.
In Wingham the fluorine analysis
of the : water supply there was
0.73 p.p.m., while in Ripley was
2.00 parts per million. Lucknow
water analysis showed 1.11 p.p.m.
According to information received,
1p;p.m. was supposed to be the
minimum amount of fluorine before
therewas any effect on the teeth.
George Lane, Ashfield farmer,
died in Wingham Hospital a few
hours after he had . been badly
burned when trapped in the fire
that razed the barn on his farm.
