Usborne Taxes Up Two Mills: To Pave Roads
May Grow Fruits Here
Huron Official Predicts
If and when rapidly expanding
industry pushes the :::
Peninsula orchards out of busi
ness, Western Ontario
and growers will have a
Niagara
farmers
wonder
ful opportunity to capture the
fruit market, A. H. Wilford, Hur
on County industrial representa
tive, stated in an interview.
“There are farms in Western
Ontario ideal for fruit. For ex
ample there is the Georgian Bay
, area for apples, and there is the
land along Huron shore from
Mitchell to about Walkerton
which is ideal for berries—straw
berries, and all the small fruits,
except such things as melons.
“I spoke to one young farmer
not far from Mitchell just the
other day. Forseeing a change

in the fruit-growing situation in
this province he plans to put in
five acres of strawberries next
year. There are many other young
farmers who are closely watch
ing the situation at Niagara.
“It is, in my opinion, unreal
istic to expect that any sort of
law can prevent a man from tak
ing advantage of good purchase
offers for his land. If industry
makes a profitable offer how can
the fruit farmer afford to refuse?
And in Canada our people will
not, I imagine, agree to any such
restrictive law as they have at
present in Holland.
“Therefore, I believe there will
come a day, not too far distant,
when small fruits will be grown
extensively westward all the way
from a line roughly drawn north
and south from the Georgian Ba^
to about Port Stanley—different
fruits in different areas. You may
expect melons and peaches, and
so on, south of Chatham.
“If you argue that this region
is not suited to small fruits I
might say that as a boy I worked
on a farm not far from Blyth'
where there was always an acre
age in strawberries, and grand
berries they were. Incidentally, a
number of new Canadians from
Europe seem to be interested in
this fruit-growing development."
Increase in school costs has
raised Usborne township taxes
another mill, The rate is now set
at 30.5, two more than last year.
The school area board, faced
with increased teachers’ salaries
and the opening of a new room
at Winchelsea school, was forced
to raise its requisition to six-and-
one-half mills, one more than in
1953.
The township council asked
the school board if it could cut
its rate to six mills so the town
ship total would be an even 30
but at a special meeting on Fri
day night the board affirmed the
necessity for the extra half-mill.
The general township rate was
raised by one mill at a recent
council meeting.
To Pave Roads
At a1 special meeting on Fri
day night, council authorized the
paving of about 1,800 feet of
roads in Woodham and Elimville.
The contract was awarded to the
county road department at an ap
proximate price of $1.50 per foot.
The paving will be of cold' mix
asphalt.
Ratepayers in the villages or
iginally asked for sidewalks but,
after consultation with the coun
cil, expressed themselves as be
ing; satisfied with hard surfacing
the" roadway in place of the side
walks.
The township received a pro-
vincial grant on the construction
of roads but not on sidewalks.
Reeve Verne Pincombe said that
with the grant, the paving would
not cost the township much more
than would construction of side
walks without a grant,
was considered by the council
and as there appeared to be no
reason why the report should not
be accepted the council agreed to
accept the report.
Return of guarantee cheques
to contractors William Campbell
and Frank Kirkby was authorized
as their contracts in connection
with the Tuckey - May, Beaver
and Westlake drains had been
completed in full,
Certificates of completion of
Beaver and Westlake drains from
J. A. Howes, the engineer, were
presented and council agreed to
accept them and directed that
the contractor be paid in full.
The treasurer reported receipt
of $506.37 from the road super
intendant and receipt of $3,032.-
90 to the general account includ
ing the municipal unconditional
grant from the province of $2,500
based on a population of 1,667
the rate of $1,50 per capita.
at
Canadians this year will pay
about $305,000,‘000 in taxes ear
marked to provide the federal
universal old age pension, about
$50,000,000 short of the amount
that will be required.

The farmer of today who keeps
pace in Canadian .progress with
his partners in industry ana
commerce will find several new
ways to show his wares _at the
19 54 Canadian " " ' “

This year the
an extra special
riculture in its

long the backbone of the Canad
ian economy, will be featured in
a number of new displays in the
huge Coliseum building in Exhi
bition Park.
In the Coliseum East Annex,
fruit and vegetable produce,
grain and other agriculture ex
hibits are in the spotlight in a
revamped arrangement Each day
fresh fruit will be trucked in
from the Niagara Peninsula for
sale to visitors.

the show even more worth-
to the farmer or agricul-
exhibitor, prize money has
again been increased. Tn
and poultry divisions there
the
g at the Exhi-
Exeter Fair is now almost 100
years old. A whole century! on
September 23. This year, along
with other fairs in District No. 8
of the Ontario Agricultural So
cieties, it is celebrating the CEN
TENNIAL. Clinton held its cen
tennial in the spring and Mit
chell’s Centennial Fair is being
held on September 2S-29.
E x e t e r Centennial Fair on
September 22-23 promises to be
outstanding according to Harry
Strang, President. It’s whipping
up in fine shape. All the usual
features are to be included along
with many special attractions.
Perhaps the most spectacular
attraction will be the parade.
This is always a favorite but this
year they are going all out. This
is .Jake Sweitzer’s baby and it is
a lusty one. Growing fast! Ent
ries close September 1. Any entry
after that date will be penalized
(financially). So anyone intend
ing to get in on that good money
being offered had better contact
Jake before that date, or else.
Dalton Finkbeiner, better
known as' “Fink”, is chairman of
the horse committee, which had
a really top show last year, and
he says it is going- to even, sur
pass that show. More and more
exhibitors have indicated that
they are going to follow the
crowd and try to win some of
the prize monies being offered.
In the cattle division, Harry
Coates and his committee have
gone all out—revised their prize
list and made many other changes
that will make this one of the
better livestock shows of West
ern Ontario. Included in this
section will be' the show and sale
of butcher steers sponsored by
the local Co-Op shippers.
All the usual features are to
be included in the hog section
according to the chairman, Mac
Hodgert. These will include the
show and sale of market hogs,
one of the most popular features
with the local farmers during
the past years. Anyone who has
hogs ready for market that week
could do worse than to enter
them in the bacon hog competi
tion and sale—might even win
enough prize money to help out
the lower price of hogs, and it
is expected that as usual more
than the market price will be
paid for these hogs.
Gerald Dearing, in charge of
the sheep division, has every
thing under control. We don’t I
know whether he holds a club j
or whether he twists their arm i
but more and more good sheep-1
are being exhibited at Exeter
Fair by flock owners who usfed j
to give our district the by.
Outside, along with the
680-r-27-1230
THIS BIG NEW 1954
district. It includes both beef and
dairy breeds and is open to both
boys and girls. While everyone
likes to see good stock, well-fed
and well-groomed, it is to be
remembered that although a boy
may stand at the top of his class,
it does not mean he is top Jjpy
in his club. Many other factors enter into the very fair point |
system required to make 'a top
4-H’er.
For this week we are going to
leave you and Exeter Centennial
Fair. There are so many features
left. They are all outstanding.
The arena alone is worth the
price of admission, which, by the
way, is not going to be increased.
Just remember, mark Thurs
day, September 23 on the calen
dar. Mark it with a big red pen
cil. It’s a red letter day! Take a
day off and bring the family and
have a good time at Exeter’s Cen
tennial Fair. It 01115” happens—
