.Kerr Farms Ltd., Chatham,
secured a yield of 78 bushels
per acre of wheat based on a
measured acreage of 19.7 acres
and elevator receipts, reports
the Field Crops Branch of the
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture. While the Department of
Agriculture does not maintain'
official high yield records, A.
H. Martin, Director of the
Branch, says that, as far as can
be determined, this is an all
time high yield for winter wheat
in Ontario.
Average wheat yield for 1957
as .recorded by Ontario statis-
tics is 33.2 bushels; so each acre
of the Kerr wheatland turns mil
more than 2a times that of the
average grower. Kerr Farms are
owned and operated by Lawrence
Kerr, an O.A.C. graduate and
well known Kent County farmer.
The variety producing . this
large yield is Genesee, a variety
developed at Cornell Experiment
Station, Ithaca, New York, and.
nppby
themost popular
now far mo
variety in Ontario.
A. combination. of ideal rain-
fall, temperature and sunshine
existing in the area almost mid-
way between Lakes Erie and
Huron seemed to be conducive
to record grain yields this year.
Garfield Nicholson, R.R. 2,
Parkhill, reports 120 bushels of
Gary oats on a measured acre
of 16 acres and based on bin
measurements. This is vouched
for by Agricultural Representa-
tive Keith Riddell of Middle-
sex. These oats were seeded on
April. 1 at the rate of 1lf bushels
per acre on cornland. The field
received 100 lbs. ammonium
nitrate and a generous applica-
tion of 4-24-20 per acre.
Hector Oulette, R.R., 1 Elec.
tric, Kent County, harvested 238
bushels of Hudson barley from
two acres. The field was in high
state of fertility, having grown
burley tobacco the previous two
years. This certainly is an all
time record • for winter barley.
A return of 96 bushels per acre
of Hudson barley was obtained
by. Arsend Couture of Dover
Centre. Mr. Couture took off
1,103 bushels from 1,ti acres.

an inquest jury Thursday night

after it heard evidence regarding
(
the traffic death of Mrs. Greta
�.
Glanville, 37, of LR. 1, Hensall,
In its verdict, the jury said:
"We recommend that a program
by municipal councils and farm
organizations he instituted to
discourage planting of corn or
other high growing crops in
fields at an intersection in a
manner constituting an obstruc-
tion to the view of motorists."
"We would make two sugges-
tions in this connection," the
verdict continued. 'The corner
of the crop at the intersection
be rounded leaving a reasonably
free view, or, secondly, that a
low-growingan t -
grain cropbe plant-
ed
• ed n the rimeter othepeorn
crop with the same result in
view."
Evidence revealed that a field
of tall' corn and brush along the
fence line obstructed the view
of both drivers 'before they col-
lided at the intersection of con -
,cession four andthe sideroad,
212 miles north of 83 in Usborne,
