TRANS CANADA CREDIT CORPORATION LIMITED 148 THE SQUARE, PHONE 791 GODER1CH, ONT. logig'44GM! ?TON nWS-RZCORP THURSDAY, AUG.I.Wr 1 2 /o Harvest is proceeding remark- ably well this year and many reading this will already be fin- ished. While reports are not quite as good as last year Huron County farmers can consider themselves well favoured this year. I was talking to Otis McGreg- or, assistant secretary manager of the Ontario Wheat Producers Mar- keting Board and the following in- formation was supplied by him. At the moment the office of the Wheat Producers is busy com- piling the number of bushels de- livered by producers in the 1958 crop year. This amount will be divided into the amount remain- ing from the nine cent per bushel equalization fund and will be re- turned to the producer at so much per bushel. While the figure is not yet def- inite it appears certain that at least four cents per bushel will be re-paid to the farmer. This year the demand has been strong and as yet the board has not been required to purchase any wheat. The quoted price is on a dif- ferent basis. This year the quoted price at the elevator is subject only to the one cent deduction for the Wheat Board and the nine cents for the equalization fund. Last year the elevator charges at a maximum of ten cents were also deducted from the quoted price. For example on August 14, Un- ited Co-Operatives were bidding $1.71 to the elevators for wheat. Thus if the quoted price at your local elevator was $1.64 the op- erator was getting seven cents per bushel for his services and with the deductions off you would re- ceive $1.54. Hiram Lindsay is visiting at Guelph with Mr. and Mrs. Orville Pyle, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Wiggins, Brantford, called on old friends m the village last week. Mr. and Mrs. William L, Craig and sons, Allen and Brian, are enjoying a vacation in Northern Ontario.

Mrs, John Arthur, Mrs, Robert Arthur and Jane and Mrs. Thomas Haggitt and Stephen visited in Tavistock last Thursday with the former's sister, Mrs. Annie Mogk and her daughter, Mrs. Mildred Wettlaufer, Mrs. John Arthur re- mained for a longer visit. St. Mark's Guild Mrs. Alfred Nesbett was hostess to the August meeting of Mark's Anglican Guild, She wel- comed the members of the Guild and also the visitors and presided for the program, which opened by singing "Rise Up, 0 Men of God" with Mrs. Gordon R. Taylor ac- companying. Mrs. John Daer gave the prayers. Mrs. Andrew Kirk- connell read the Scripture. Mrs. Ed. Davies gave a reading, "They should be close to God." A solo, "This is My Father's House" was sung by Mrs. Norman McClinchey accompanied by Mrs. Frank Nes- bett. Mrs. William McVittie, Blyth, was guest speaker and gave an inspiring message on "The Har- vest truly is great, but the reap- ers are few". Mrs. Nesbett gave a reading "The Garden", and thanked all who had taken part in the program. The president, Mrs. Thomas Haggitt took charge of the business period and minutes were read by the secretary, Mrs. Ed. Davies. Correspondence was read and the financial statement was given by Mrs. Gordon R. Tay- lor Rev. R. Meally closed the meeting with prayer. A successful auction was held and a delicious ltmch was served by Mrs. Nesbett, assisted by Mrs. Frank Nesbett and Mrs: Norman McClinchey. An interesting film on the church Work in Nigeria was shown by Miss Mary Houston. Mrs, John Houston read the story of the work based on the work that Mary Slessor (the Scottish missionary) had achieved among the people of Africa. A children's film "Susie, the bright blue van" showed the missionary work that the Presby- terian Church in Canada does in Western Canada, It showed how the church workers can get to out- of-way places during the summer months to help the spread of the gospel. Benediction was pronounc- ed by Mrs. Machan, Mrs. Ed, Davies president of the Ladies' Aid took charge of the meeting and thanked Miss Mary Houston for her interesting pic- tures and Mrs. Houston for her narration. Margaret Sanderson thanked the ladies for sending her to the girls' camp at Kintail in July. Delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Houston, assisted by her dau- ghters Miss Frances and Miss Mary, (This meeting was to be at the Houston home but on ac- count of the impassable condition of the road west of Auburn, they came by Donnybrook. 0 Damp Weather Now Causing Blight In White Bean Crops Heavy rainfall during July and hot humid weather of August, ac- companied by morning fogs, have been ideal for the spread of blight in Huron County white bean fields. During the past few days num- erous bean fields have been turn- ing yellow rapidly and upon closer examination the pods were notic- ed to be pitted with brown marks, accompanied by water marked areas on the pods. Professor Kelly, of the Botany Department, Ontario Agricultural College, has indicated that this is a Bacterial Blight of Beans and has been spread by the hot, humid weather, He further indicated that all bean growers should be wishing for hot, dry weather to hasten the ripening process. The blight as yet doesn't appear to have penetrated the heavy thick lining of the Sanilac variety to the actual bean itself. If dry wea- ther comes and prevents the sp- read, very little damage can be expected, but if the reverse wea- ther comes, damage to the beans can be expected. The professor states that little can be done at the moment to stop the spread as sprays for blight are costly and not too ef- fective. Further tests are being made to isolate the organism and see what can be done. He suggests that bean growers should avoid cultivation of beans during wet weather and that roguing for weeds should not take place while dew is on the ground, and that straw from infected fields should not find its way through manure back to next year's bean field. Some work is being planned to secure seed from areas not hav- ing high humidity, thus relatively blight free seed. Farmers and seed dealers should be checking for next year's seed supply from disease free fields. Anthracnose, a disease of beans, is not yet apparent in the Sariilac variety, which is highly resistant to this disease. With the active demand and corresponding fluctuations in the market price the cost of elevator services has varied from five cents to nine cents per bushel, averaging about ,seven cents. Deliveries of wheat this year are surprising in view of the severe winter damage in many areas. Kent and Essex have had a poor year but Lambton, Middle- sex and the eastern counties are doing quite well, with harvesting completed somewhat earlier. Reports from the west have in- dicated a good crop until recently when a hot dry spell has set in, reducing both yield and quality considerably. Mr. McGregor would venture no forecast on prices. While produc- tion in Canada would warrant an increase in price later, our ex- ports of Ontario wheat flour are down about one-third and with heavy exports from the United States it is doubtful that we can do much to increase our exports this year, Whether you sell now or store for later sale is a gambler's choice and perhaps this is one of the things that makes farming in- teresting.
