Attractively boxed, Limited Quantity Special ! — Canadian Tire's Sale Price Huron maintains its position as one of the highly specialized agricultural areas of the pro- vince, Agriculteral represen- tative D. H. Miles said in his report to county eouncil. Stat.- iptics for 1964, prepared for exhibits at the international plow- ing match, indicate that Huron was first in improved farm land, with 637,068 acres, and had the largest number of commercial farms with 4,358, In total cattle, Huron was second with 197,400, third in swine and again first in poultry. This county was second in all field crops, first for dry beans, third in corn for fodder, second with mixed grain, flax and barley. "Our farmers are keen busi- ness men and are producing at a very high level," the report stated. "To keep it that way our -people are very interested in farm management, and in the 1964-5 season there are three courses being provided, with an enrolment of 120 farmers in the three classes (Crediton, Clinton, and Wingham)". Mr. Miles congratulated Bob Fotheringham, of Seaforth, on winning the hay championship again for Huron, and to Wilbur Keys, who was reserve champ- ion and the champion of 1964. Crops turned out much better Plan achievement night in Exeter The eighteenth Annual Huron County 4-11 Achievement Night will be held at the South Huron District High School, Exeter, on Friday, December 3rd commenc- ing at 8:00 p.m. The guest speaker will be Mr. Gerry Montgomery of Mutual Life Insurance, London, formerly Ag- r ic ultur al Representative for Huron County.

All Huron County 4-H Agricul- tural Club members who com- pleted a project in 1965 will re- ceive their awards on this oc- casion. Of the 395 4-H projects started in 21 4-H Agricultural Clubs last spring, 91.5% were brought to a successful c o n- elusion. Everyone who has an interest in the 4-H program is invited to attend the Achievement Night. than expected earlier in the year, when rainfall was deficient, the report stated. Too Much rain in the fall arrested beae harvesting, and about 8,000 acres will have to be plowed under or the beans fed to livestock. There has been difficulty in getting corn into the silo at the desired moisture level. "Our 4-H leaders are the best in the country," declared Don Pullen, assistant representative, addressing council on the junior extension program. This year, 395 4-H Agricultural Club pro- jects were started by boys and girls in Huron, and 91.5% were completed. Certificates for vol- untary leadership will be pres- ented two 4-11 leaders for five years' service, to two for 10 years and seven for 15 years or more. &tofr ReittPre Practically all livestock have been housed in preparation for the winter inHuron County. Live- stock feed supplies on the farm are adequate. In fact, some sur- plus hay has been purchased locally by farmers in Eastern Ontario. Farm water supplies are more favourable this year. Most of the corn crop is now harvested. Cooler weather would improve farm conditions. Mean- while grain driers are still busy. There is still some fall work to be completed in Huron. Rabies high in Huron Huron County led 10 Ontario counties in reported rabies cases for a three-month period, but Huron medical officer of health, Dr. R, M. Aldis, says he's not too worried about it. "This is something we have to live with," Dr. Aldis said yesterday. "We've had years with more cases of rabies." There were 34 cases reported in the county during August, Sep- tember and October. Brant Coun- ty had 14 cases, Wellington 24 and Grey 18. Dr. Aldis said the county spon- sors regular •rabies clinics and tries to educate the people, and "this is about all we can do." Dr. T. R. Melady, director of the Huron County health unit, could not be reached for com- ment. Miss Diane Liddiard, home economist, reported that the 4-H Homemaking Club enrolled 449 girls, of whom 423 (le 41 clubs) completed the course. North Bosanquet NEW HIGHWAY The new highway across Lake Smith on the Haig Farm will be 70 feet wide and will be -"built up" with sand fill taken from the bank near the Pinery Park en- trance. Construction on the highway continues from both ends and fill for the west side of the tri- county river bridge to the Klon- dyke road, will be taken from Vandenberk's farm next to Oscar Nordstrom. PERSONALS Mr. & Mrs. Fred Burley and daughters visited the latter's mother, Mrs. Ted Hanson and Mr. Hanson at Morpeth last Sunday. Miss Karen lion is visiting at home. Mr. & Mrs. Jack Dummigan visited Mr. & Mrs. Harold Prance last Friday. Mr. & Mrs. Ed. Nordstrom and. family of Strathroy visited Mr. & Mrs. Maurice Desjardine and It will cost Huron county We- 600,000 over the next 10 years to bring its ""desirable" road system up to accepted standards and maintain it adequately, This is one of the big facts presented to council in the recently com- pleted road needs ,study. The proposed improvements cover only roads and bridges classified by the highways department as "intolerable." "We are spending $400,000 a year on construction, and should be spending over $1,000,000," County Engineer James Britnell said in reviewing the 30-page road study report. His illusion was to expenditure met from county rates. The financial state- ment to Sept. 30 shows $1,277,- 142 spent, with $814,802 payable by the Province. The road committee, in a re- port presented by Reeve Grant Stirling, Goderich township, re- commended that the present mill rate of 8.75 beheld, and review- ed "when departmental road poli- cies are made known." "Our decision to limit our program to five years' work at the present mill rate forced us to draw the line at 28 miles," the report stated. "If the mill rate is increased, or if money is made available in the form of develop- ment roads, this program should be added to immediately in order to keep the program five years in advance." In many counties, Mr. Britnell said, the road needs study has not been completed. To carry out the work to be recommended for the whole province might cost three or four hundred million dollars. 0 /This report," he p a i d, "pro-vides for a 10-year plan to -which the county's annual work program can be geared. However, these iQ years are based upon the depart- ment's minimum requirement$.P' The committee expects to call a contract for the second phase of the development road in Orecli, ton area early in 1966, It will be from Kniva Corner toilighway 81.
