ATTENTION FARMERS
Have you FLAX for your 1975
considered cash crop?
For the past two years Flax as a cash crop
has shown a net return per acre equal to,
and in most cases better than, most cash
crops available in the area.
We have cleaned a limited amount
of FLAX SEED and this is now
available for booking.
Interest in this seed is strong and we
suggest you phone and order now to •
avoid being disappointed.

Canada has seen the last of
sunny summer days with
temperatures of 90 degress in the
shade.
From now on, a hot day will be
somewhere between 25 and 35
degrees.
The reason for this sudden drop
in temperature is' the conversion
from Fahrenheit temperatures to
,the Celsius scale:
The official changeover comes
on April 1. On that day, the radio
and television weathermen and
the newspaper will stop giving
the familiar Fahreriheit tempera-
tures and tell the Canadian public
how hot (or cold) it is in degrees
Celsius.
The switch could come as a bit
of a jot. For instance, a
chilly-sounding 10 degrees C
corresponds to a balmy spring
day with a temperature of 50° F.
Many people will also be left
with Fahrenheit thermometers
which no longer relate directly to
the weather forecasts from the
media. However, these thermo-
meters need not be discarded.
They are easily converted to the
Celsius scale and the process for
changing them serves as a good
explanation for how to think in
degrees Celsius.
To update an old thermometer,
cover one side of the scale,
lengthwise with a small strip of
masking, tape.
The starting point for conver-
sion is 32 degrees F, the freezing
point for water. On the Celsius
scale, the corresponding tem-
perature is 0 degrees C.
So opposite 32 degress on the
Fahrenheit scale, mark 0 on the
maskirig tape to begin your new
Celsius scale. Then draw lines on
the tape at 18 degree intervals on
the Fahrenheit scale, both up and
down from 3 2 degrees F.
Each of these new marks
corresponds to 10 degrees on the
Celsius scale. Now try a bit of
cross-checking and you find that
50 degrees F is 10 degrees C,
Adding another 18 degrees
Fahrenheit, you'll see that 68
degrees F is the same as 2Q
degiees C. The equivalent of 86
degrees F is 30 degrees C and to
degrees F is 40 degrees C.
Working down the therms
meter from the freezing point, 11
degrees F is -10 degrees C;
degrees F is -20 degrees C; -22
degrees F is -30 degress C and at
40 below it's the same on both
scales.
And, for farmers, Agriculture
Canada has a few pointers on nen
Celsius temperatures of note:
--soil temperature for seeding
should be between 4 degrees C
and 10 degrees C;
--the maximum air temperature
for applying chemicals to crops or
soil is 27 degrees C;
--the optimum temperatures for
rapid crop growth are between 15
degrees C and 30 degrees C.

Weather is important to farmers. Now that the weatherman will give temperatures
in degrees Celsius only, farmers will have to find a way to relate the new
temperatures to their farming practices.

Demands increase
Huron budget
is up 20%
County council approved a 1975
budget for Huron at a special
meeting Tuesday which shows
the total expenditures for, the year
to be $7,244,142 , up nearly 20%
over last year.
- The 1975 budget required an
additional levy of $505,000 over
the 1974 budget with
expenditures to be $7,144,152
plus a planned surplus of $99,990.
Again county roads were the
major culprit in the budget
increase with a total of $2,561,000
being allotted to the highway
public works department, up from
2,129,000 in 1974. County Library
expenditures will total $261,800,
planning department budget will
total $93,690 and the social
services budget will total
$386,300. The budget for the
Childrens' Aid Society for the
County of Huron will total
$135,905, the Huronview budget
Will total $2,013,300, the Huron
County Health Unit budget will
total $505,350 while general
maintenance for county buildings
will cost $125,425:
Based on the formula, the
following levies will be charged
(with previous year's levy in
brackets).
