SHUR-GAIN Fertilizer is granulated after the ingredients have been mixed and is not just a blend of granular materials. As a result each granule contains all three plant food elements in the right proportions. Ordinary granular and blended fertilizers simply consist of a mixture of ingredients, either in powder form or granules. Although it's easier to make fertilizer that way it cannot be as effective in use due to the separation of ingredients of different size and weight. As every granule contains all the guaranteed plant food elements, SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer remains completely balanced throughout storing, shipping and spreading —resulting in balanced feeding of plants from every granule; consistent, more even application of the best possible fertilizer to give you maximum yields and top returns from your fertilizer dollar. As always it pays to get the finest fertilizer for your good earth—SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated. fertilizer Forum notes career aids "Parents have a strong influ- ence by their counsel with their young people in the choice of a career" was the general opinion of members of Fairfield Farm Forum in continuing the discus- sion on last week's topic "The Choice of Careers by Our Youth" from a different view- point. "However a guidance teacher should know better than parents what a youth is capable of. intel- lectually" was another conclu- sion of the majority of mem- bers. It was also noted that the financial aid of parents was of great Value and, if this is not possible, it was very difficult and almost impossible to get a higher education; money can be borrowed and paid back when a youth is financially able if he is not afraid of debt. At present it's difficult for the uneducated to get work but, in the future, members feared the educated will also be Unem- ployed owing to greater compe- tition. One member wondered "if contentment and happiness with whatever we have, is not worth more than the mad strtig- Oa for attainment." The forum met at the home Of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Powe, town, and next week's meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Haist.

LEADERS MEET Huron County 4-H Agricul- tural Club Leader's Association will hold its annual meeting at the agricultural office board rooms in Clinton Monday, Janu- ary 20 commencing at 11:00 a.m. Plans will be made for the 1964 4-H Club season, Dinner is at the Hotel Clinton at 12:30 noon. PLAN SHEEP CLUB Provided that sufficient in- terest is indicated, a Huron County 4-H Sheep Club will be organized early in February. Objects are to create greater interest in caring fpr, feeding, developing and marketing of sheep; to develop a better gen- People should be less certain of what they know, Professor Ralph Dent of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, Guelph, told Huron zone members of the Waterloo Cattle Breeders As- sociation at their annual meet- ing in Clinton, last week. The noted psychologist, who recently conducted a "Live to Learn" series on CRC televi- sion, told the farmers they should learn to doubt them- selves more in an effort to be more receptive to communica- tion, "It's healthy to be a doubter," he continued, pointing out that people have more trouble being educated to new ideas when they aren't doubtful. Professor Dent used many interesting and humorous illus- trations to make his point in regard to his talk. To point out that people often listen and read not as it is said or written, but rather how they anticipate it will be read or written, he flashed a picture on the screen showing the words "Paris in the the spring". Only four of the 40 or so men present wrote down the actual wording, the rest leaving out one "the". Using this as an example, Professor Dent pointed out it was very hard to change peo- ples' attitudes when they have their own strong opinions, DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS The education specialist also told the members that many people tend to solve one problem by using the same methods of solving a previous problem. With four "guinea pigs" standing up, he told them they were deaf and dumb and were in a drug store ordering a tooth brush. The four solved the problem by going through the actions of cleaning their teeth. However, when he told them they were blind and were want- ing a comb, three of the four started to go through the actions of combing their hair. The other man wisely asked for a comb, due to the fact that blind people can talk. "You can't always solve the problems of today by using the methods of yesterday," he stat- ed, adding that people often see what they believe, rather than bearing out the old axiom that seeing is believing. People also listen to things as they want to hear them, he noted, In commencing his talk, Pro- fessor Dent said that having information in books and in peoples' heads was no good to other people unless this infor- matiOn could be passed on in an understandable method, He asked his audience to list reasons why it would be possible to have miscommunication be- tween a speaker and an audience and they came up with some of the following reasons: Poor delivery by the speaker, many meanings for the same word, poor listening, audience not interested, different levels of education, too wordy, too technical, speaker hot prepay- ed, and to this he added, etc., etc. He then went through e lengthy derrionstration of rniscciarrauei cation by having the manager of the WC A, Wilbur J. Shantz, go behind a Movie screen and at- tempt to have the Members draw a diagram from a word descrip- tion, The diagrani Consisted of six identical rectangles, With each joining another in a different way. The audience was net al- lowed to ask a ny. questions and after about five rnirait,eS, as Shantz explained the direction III Health ? See your doctor first.

To demonstrate the method he used, he taught one of the men present a seven-minute chemistry course and had him figuring out the chemical for- mula for octane by a matter of deduction from a few pertinent pieces of information supplied. He also told the farmers that industry spends three times as much as schools in education and were willing to try the new methods. It was stated that IBM had recently saved $7,000,000 by investing in a$50,000 educa- tional training course. of each line, none managed to come up with the exactdiagra.m he had been describing. The audience was allowed to ask questions on a second sim- ilar diagram, and again none managed to duplicate the one described by Shantz, although Dent stated that there are usual- ly between 60 to '70 percent able to do it when questions are per- mitted, although none could when no questions were asked. The OAC educator then ex- plained the entire cycle of com- munication when two people are talking, noting there are eight places in which miscommunica- tion can occur, from the enco- ding of the original speaker through to the decoding and in- terpretation by the second party. Using the demonstration with Shantz as an example, Dent stated that it was not the fault of an audience that they did not understand a speaker, but rath- er the speaker's fault for not communicating in an unde r- standable manner. Relating this to agriculture information being received by farmers, he said they should not feel self-conscious about being ignorant, because the fault was not their own, but rather that of the persons supplying the information. "It's not your fault, it's ours," he added, telling the farmers they should ask ques- tions about what they do not understand. "You must force people to put words into a language which you can understand," he com- mented, noting that people want • al • • 11.M Pik Tree Planting Spring 1964 Small hard to reach field corners, wet or rough land can often be converted into a valuable farm asset through the planting of trees. NOW is the time to order trees for spring planting. Nursery stock order forms can be ob- tained from the Department of Lands and Forests District Offices in Aylmer or Hespeler or locally from the Ausable River Conservation Authority office in Exeter. To assist landowners in reforestation, the Authority will: (1) Plant from 2 to 5 acres. (2) Supply tree planter, three men and a tractor. (3) The charge for this service is nominal; $5.00 for any acreage up to five acres. (4) This assistance is available to owners planting trees of which not more than 50% are Scots pine (5) A subsidy of $10.00 per thousand trees will be paid if trees are planted by hand, provided that an inspection shows that planting was done with sufficient care to ensure reasonable survival. Application forms for the above assistance are also available at the Authority office, 61 Old Mill Road, Exeter. Blind drive nets $900 to listen or read when they do understand, but stop listening or reading when they "get lost". Professor Dent reported that proper communication was be- coming more imperative every day, with many changes being made in all facets of life and the increasing and ever-chang- ing information being gleaned. He backed up his thoughts by noting that farming 2,000 years ago was basically the same as it was 50 years ago and there was little change in the knowledge applied. However, today the informa- tion needed by farmers changes three complete times in one man's lifetime. Comparing this with other changes in our society, Profes- sor Dent noted that until 1850 man had been moving at a maxi- mum of four miles an hour, but now he is capable of travelling 18,000 miles an hour. During World War I he had bombs capable of destroying a large building, whereas bombs were now able to devastate an area of up to 3,600 square miles. TEACHERS OPPOSED In a question and answer period that followed his talk, Professor Dent noted that teachers were providing the main opposition to some of the modern trends and methods be- ing developed in education. He said there were programs whereby s tudents could be taught an entire year's course in a matter of a few days; and a course was now developed that people could take ten years education in a little over two years. Professor Dent, who is a member of the Guelph board of 2 00 Final total for the Exeter area blind campaign is just over the $900 mark, about $100 short of its $1,000 objective, Chair- man S. B. Taylor announced this week. "We're naturally disappoin- ted we didn't reach the $1,000 goal," said Mr. Taylor, "but the $900 total is about the same as we 'have done in the past."
