Clinton News-Record, 1971-06-17, Page 8Four busloads, 1.64 people,
enjoyed the recent tour in
Huron County, sponsored by the
Wellington and District
Shorthorn Club. and the
Wellington Beef Improvement
SocietY-
Presidents Adam Clark,
Dundas, of the Shorthorn Club,
and Alex Connell, Harriston,
called it a real success.
First stop was, the beef
feedlot of George Wheeler, near
Brussels, a splendid example of a
moderate size operation, feeding
heifers only, growing feed
requirements of mainly ensilage
corn, some hay and grain, on
what certainly appears a
well-managed farm project,
Highlight of the day's visits
had to be the tour of the several
original 100-acre and 200-acre
farms that now comprise the
farm operation of Bodmin Ltd.,
near Brussels, about 1200 acres
owned and another 200 acres
rented, by the owners, Stewart
Procter and his sons Charles,
Ross and George,
Likely one of the largest
incorporated family farms in
Ontario, the total operation of
the Procter farm displays the
results that forward planning,
work, and dedication to the job
at hand, can produce, With each
son responsible for certain parts
of the operation, yet all available
in peak periods in individual
circumstances, tour members
were much impressed with the
large corn fields, over 700 acres,
for grain only and then winter
cow pasture — the feed mill and
grain drying equipment on one
farm — the 75 Purebred

ambling with Lucy
BY LUCY N. WOODS •
As she left hospital a month ago, a friend remarked, "You'll be
home for lilac time." The lady was right, It is the loveliest time of
the year and Lucy enjoyed a bouquet of the single white and the
old.fashioned pink by the barn which Carl picked for her. Next came
the double blue and double purple on either side of the driveway
just past the corner of the sunroorn. (Of course there is a hedge of
lilacs hidden by the cedars). Last, but by no means least, are the two
Persian lilacs, hanging heavy with bloom on either side of the
driveway. As usual, many a car slows up in passing to view their
beauty or sniff their delicate fragrance.
A caller asked for the name of the Persian lilacs. Lucy only knew
them by that name. About 40 or more years ago when her tuberous
rooted begonias were playing out and she had not time to work with
them, Lucy ordered shrubs to plant in the bed next to the Post
Office building — now Mackie Barber and Beauty Shoppe. From a
small child she had loved the Persian lilac which hung over
Gairdner's fence on Main Street next to J. H. Reid's store — The
Village Market. So in looking through Robert McMorray's catalogue
she spied this Persian lilac and planted it at the front fence next to
the Post Office.
The lady remarked that she had ordered a Persian lilac but while
the bloom was a beautiful big panicle it was not as lacey or feath'ery
as those ae the gate and so she had wondered if there were different
varieties of Persian lilac. There probably are.
In the autumn of 1946 preparatory to moving from their home
on Main Street, Lucy had the lilac dug up and transplanted. This is
the larger one west of the driveway. Two small rooted stalks came
off it. One was put back in its original spot and the other set out on
the east side of the driveway at the gate.
In 25 years they have grown into great trees which are covered
each year with bloom. Lucy appreciates their graceful bending, but
Carl does not. He cannot abide wet lilacs swishing against the car, or
snow-laden branches scratching it as he drives in. So the Persian lilacs
and others on the driveway are pruned back unmercifully so that the
arching branches do not offend. But despite this they are full of
bloom.
The Persian lilac does not spread from the roots as do the
common single and unbudded double varieties. It is almost
impossible to get a rooted , branch without digging the whole clump
up, •
Lucy had her first view of part of the garden at close range the
first Sunday in June. And although a visitor tried to console her by
telling her that a lady who had a beautifully cared for garden in
London had said one should not strive for perfection, Lucy saw
plenty of so-called vicious weeds including mustard and nettles.
However, she remembered an oft-repeated saying of her
grandmother Buchan, "A man on a galloping horse would never
notice it,"
Carl got busy hoeing so vigorously that before he noticed it, a
row of parsnips had joined the fate of weeds. Lucy had been
delighted to see them corning as they'd been planted for a long time.
They've been replanted but like cool weather in which to germinate
so perhaps will not grow.
Also Carl replanted asters last week. Lucy gave instructions
before she carnet hpme that two rows of spearal asters were to be
planted in the vegetable garden. She didn't think to mention a
different variety to each row. So Carl read directions: "Thin out to
18 inches apart", He thought to save the work of thinning and from
his stool sowed the seeds eight inches apart in each row. Being a bad
year for germination only a scant dozen seedlings appeared. When he
told Lucy she asked him why he hadn't planted the other package.
He'd forgotten all about them. So now that package is planted and
the seeds so thick they only covered half a row!
Carl tells Lucy she is not coherent in her instructions re planting
and yesterday he asked her to draw a plan for planting more seeds!!!
Lucy would like nothing better than to sit out and watch the
gardening but she holds a great attraction for black flies and
moSquitoes. Those inequitous insects are much more adept at
drawing off Lucy's blood than a good many trained labarotory
technicians!
So Carl has to tell her what seeds have grown and what haven't.
Lucy has been a gardener since she was about seven years old when
her father's cousin Mrs. Isabella Hewson (later Mrs, J. H. McLeod)
gave her pansy plants and forget-me-nots for a flower bed of her very
own. They were dug out of the gravel paths, where they'd seeded
themselves, at her home. She couldn't bear to throw flowers away
and although she hasn't been able to work in the garden for over 30
years Lucy still has the same love for gardening as had her father's
cousin. And so she'll find a place for extra plants even if her beds are
too full.
The rain last week helped the gardens and crops greatly. But if it
is a dry year Lucy fears there'll be neither flowers nor vegetables at
"The Hut". Oh well, the weeds we always have with us!

Shorthorn cows and their 1971
calves, on pasture- the 1970 ,
calf crop, just off their own
Performance Testing program,
complete data for which has
been kept for its several years of
operation for both bulls and
heifers, the entire calf crop each
year, as written up in the June
issue of the Shorthorn News — a
100-sow farrowing project on
one farm, and feeder pigs on
another — another has a barn
fixed over for four ten-week
periods each year of chicken
broilers, and a 12-week period
for turkeys — the 18000 turkeys
out on range on another farm —
the lineup of large scale
machinery required for efficient
operation of the farmlands —
and of prime importance, the
complete bookkeeping for each
farm project and the total farm
operation.
It is interesting that after a
goad College education, each
Procter son started out in other
work — electronics, feed
salesman, agricultural extension
— and now all are happy on the
farm.
At Carnation Stock Farms,
Dungannon, owned by Al
Sherwood, tour members saw
the 35-cow herd, a good group
of Registered Shorthorn cows on
pasture with their 1971 calves.
On one farm, the aged bull,
Meda Benwhat, looked very
impressive, running with cows of
good size, quality, and
mothering ability. Aberfeldy
Field Marshall was on pasture,
on another farm, with another
good group of cows, and their
1971 calves sired by this triple A
bull that looks very fresh and
active. Though not in the
Purebred Shorthorn business
many years, Al is to be
congratulated on the good herd
built up at Carnation Stock
Farms.
Final stop was at the
long-established and
highly-regarded Hi Hill
Shorthorn herd of Andrew
Gaunt, Lucknow. This smiling
"young fellow" had his herelbull,
Louada Belmont, on pasture
with the 50 or more cows, most
of which had their 1971 calves
along, a very uniformily good
group.
Performance Tested bulls in
one paddock, and year old heifer
calves in another, made
interesting groups to inspect,
before moving to the lawn where
Mrs. Gaunt served coffee and
doughnuts. The hospitality of all
host farms was much
appreciated by the large group
of tour members.

brake lights are not operating
properly. The Ontario Motor
League advises periodic checks
on the lights which warn the
following driver you are slowing
down.
Drivers who slow down to
stare at accidents often create
more of a traffic bottleneck than
the accident itself, says the
Ontario Motor League. If you,
come across an accident, and it
is not directly tying you up,
then keep moving. Don't hold
up the traffic flow.
