The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1965-09-16, Page 214020 Tractor with 5 furrow 16" Plow By MRS. FRED BOWDEN Greetings and best wishes Times-Advocate, September 16, 1904 Page 19 By GLENN WEBB Warden, Huron County Traditionally the local Agri- culture fair in HuronCounty pro- vides a very important commu- nity service. Agriculture is our main industry, local fair boards through the years have assisted us by promoting and encouraging improvements of all farm pro- ducts through prizes and awards. Many of these improvements have resulted in more efficient meth- ods which has meant savings to the consumer. As a result of the competition at fairs our young people are taught that personal effort brings re- ward. This will no doubt be a last- ing lesson assisting them to be better citizens, more fully equip- ped to take their place in what- ever occupation that they may choose. On behalf of the 1965 Huron County Council I take pleasure in congratulating the directors and all the exhibitors. We wish you all continued success in the years ahead. By JAMES HAYTER Deputy-Reeve of Stephen Once again it is the time of year when we look back on summer and look forward to the beauty of the fall season and fair time. I would like if you would pause with me on behalf of the people of the Town- ship of Stephen to say a few words about the Exeter & Community Fair. Let us say first, how proud we are of the people who do all the organizing and the prepar- atory work to make this fair a success. I am sure there are hours of endless work throughout the year. A fair cannot be built in a week or a month, but must be the work of the different organiza- tions throughout the year. What good is a Fall Fair? How does the Exeter Fall Fair benefit the Township of Stephen? These questions probably enter all of our minds at some time or another and it is my task to try and answer them. For one thing, this annual event provides amu- sement for all citizens of Stephen, adults and children alike. It sets a goal for the area farmers as they exhibit their prize products which vary from flowers, vege- tables, poultry and livestock. This, thus, provides for the en- richment of the agriculture of Stephen. The students of our schools also contribute as they prepare different handicrafts in competing for various prizes. This also in many ways provides the know how and eagerness of boys and girls to be strong com- petitors and in the future to be strong leaders within our com- munity. By JOHN CORBETT Reeve of Hay Reeve John Corbett of Hay Township says competition is a good thing in a com rnunity, there- fore our Fail Fairs must go on. They are a boost to both town and rural folks. It adds interest to our young people who have exhibits as well as the parade and costumes. The men folk show their grains, roots etc. the very best they can find. women do take the big end of the show, they help the child- ren also their husbands as well as the many articles they can show. There is a lot of work and planning done to a fair but it is well worth the effort and if the weather doesn't co-operate just make the best of it. By JACK DELBRIDGE Mayor of Exeter A symbol of fall is "Fair Time" and with it comes the bus- tle of preparation and organi- zation. A sense of unity is felt in the friendly competition of the rural community with the town. Our Exeter Fair represents an ex- hibition of flowers, fruits, veg- etables and crafts from the young and old alike enabling the com- munity to see their talents on ex- hibition. Our Fair is a visiting day for many, gathering together not only the people of our town but our friends from neighboring com- munities. On behalf of the town of Exeter, I extend an invitation to everyone to come to our "Fair" as an ex- hibitor or observer. We welcome your attendance, which will make 1965 — Exeter Fall Fair a mem- orable event. at EXETER FAIR a good time to see THE LONG GREEN LINE This unit plows where most plows PLUG ARRANGES FLOWERS The United Church Women met in the schoolroom of the church Thursday with a good attendance.

No plow in all history, not even John Deere, ever received more immediate and positive farmer approval than greeted John Deere Semi-Integral Plows 'when they were introduced in 1962. And when you hook such a plow onto 'the old dependable' the 4020 as we have here, it becomes a unit that plows and plows and plows. These plows handle trash that would plug most plows in minutes. One big reason is clearance formerly available only on special trash plows — 27-7s inches fore-and-aft, and 28-1/2 inches under the box-beam truss. This clearance also permits use of large, trash-shearing coulters — up to 22 inch. Trash boards and a wide range of precise adjustment also help to assure good work in heavy ground cover. Be sure to take a close look at the Jahn Deere plows and tractors on display at The Fair this year. We're putting together an exhibit every farmer will want to See. All controls are at your fingertips A c onveni en t lever swivels the spout quickly through a 270-degree arc. A second lever starts and stops the thrower. The roller-chain-driven auger disengages auto- matically if it hits a hidden curb or picks up a chunk of ice. Most of the muscle for raising the thrower is pro- vided by a helper spring attached to the lift lever. Remember last winter? AND EQUIPMENT HURON TRACTOR Ph. 235 111S EXETER
