WINGHAM FEED MILL Dial 357-3060 Wingham, Ont. calf feeds Board Meeting The regular meeting of the Turnberry Township School Area board was held Thursday eve- ning, All members were pres- ent. The board joined the Ontario Trustees and Ratepayers Associ- ation and the Public School Trustees Association. The principal's request for permis- sion to have a skating party for the school was granted. The caretaker was present and stated that the new clean- ing machine had arrived and al- so gave a report on the rest of the equipment in the school. The following bills were paid: Teachers' salaries, care- taker, Receiver General, Craw- ford Motors, telephone, Alex- ander's Hardware, Imperial Oil, Jack Hood, Vance's Drug Store. The annual meeting of the Huron County Junior Farmers was held in the Belgrave Arena and Foresters Hall, with over 120 members and interested parties in attendance. This was the largest attendance in many years. Broomball and skating in the arena preceded the meeting. Tom Cunningham, president for 1965 was in the chair. Barry Mulvey was appointed secretary Corn, like wine, is only ex- cellent at maturity, and On- tario's farmers should resolve now to improve the quality of their corn. "Early planting is essential!" advises Dr. E. E. Gamble, Crop Science Department, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. "The first of May should be a target date to plant corn, Any delay will increase moisture at harvest. In addition, planting after the middle of May can seriously reduce corn yields." Is there any danger from spring frosts by planting so ear- ly? "A spring frost may des- troy the existing leaves," re- plies Dr. Gamble, "but in practically all cases, complete recovery (including high yields) is made. It's much more ser- ious to suffer a frost after the corn has flowered, since such a frost will kill the plants. Many for the evening. Don Pullen presented the most favorable treasurer's report in a number of years. The presidents of each club gave a brief outline of their club's ac- tivities during the year. Miss Dianne Liddiard, home economist, presented a past provincial director's pin to Maurice Love and Marilyn Mar- shall presented the past presi- dent's pin to Tom Cunningham. Maurice Love gave a report on the trips offered to Junior Farmers in Ontario. Two Jun- iors may go to Alberta, four to Prince Edward Island, four to Quebec, two to British Colum- bia, and four in the Northern and Southern Ontario exchange. Two Junior Farmers from Hur- on County are sent on the East- ern Ontario bus trip, two to the Junior Farmer Camp at Lake Geneva, and one to the Effect- ive Speaking Course in Toron- to. Four Juniors from Ontario are sent on the overseas trip. The Junior Farmers Associa- tion of Ontario is preparing a new booklet on the planning of effective meetings and also new song books, Mr. Love stated that it was an honor to represent Huron County and thanked the members for offering him the opportunity of serving and work- ing with Juniors in the county and Ontario. Don Pullen gave the report from the Department of Agri- culture. He stated that the Slow Moving Vehicle signs were selling well but he hoped more would be sold before August. Miss Liddiard urged the Jun- ior Institute members to plan the year's meetings now and take advantage of the program kits available from Toronto, The meeting was adjourned and the evening closed with dancing. In accordance with the policy of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, there will be only one or genization of milk producers i.. each county. The County Milk Committee will replace all previous milk producer groups. The general meeting of Hur- on County milk producers for the purpose of electing the Hur- on County Milk Committee will be held Saturday, February 26 at 12.30 sharp in Seaforth Disv trict High School. D. H. Miles will be chairman. It is expected that members of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board will be in attendance to discuss Board policies and ob- jectives. Following are the recom- mendations on procedures: (1) the county committee to include 15 members. (2) Any milk producer, resi- dent in Huron County, who has received a milk cheque in the past year, is eligible for nom- ination. (3) Nominees must be milk producers as in No. 2. (4) Nominations in writing farmers found this out last fall." Early hybrids are also help- ing to overcome the maturity problems, according to Dr. Gamble. The right hybrid should be grown in the right re- gion; it should not require more heat units than are available. There is now a strong trend in Ontario to use even earlier hy- brids than used in the past. "I cannot overemphasize the value of mature corn," adds Dr. Gamble. "In addition to high quality, mature corn prevents storage losses or drying time and Turnberry Twp. Council Meeting Turnberry Township Council decided to call for tenders on crushing, hauling and spreading gravel at the February meeting. The engineer's report on the Stamper drain was accepted and William Dettman was appoint- ed commissioner on the drain.

It also permits earlier harvest in pleasant weather, More im- portant, the early harvest al- lows the fields to be prepared for next year's crop and, of course, permits planting at the recommended early seeding." More corn recommendations are now available in the Ontario Department of Agriculture pub- lication, 1966 Report on On- tario Hybrid Corn Performance Trials. It is available from county agricultural representa- tives. Traditional Sources Cause Farm Accidents Although the majority of On- tario farms now are highly mechanized, the first claims for compensation or medical aid payments to farm employees now covered by the Workmen's Compensation Act show that the traditional sources of injury still exist. Farm employees in Ontario have been covered for the bene- fits of the Act since the first of this year. Voluntary subscrip- tion is available to farm owners and operators for themselves and their wives. One of the first claims for medical aid, which was allow- ed, came from an Oak Ridges farm employee who suffered painful rib injuries when he was kicked by a cow. A Clarksburg farm hand was allowed medical aid for the re- moval of grain dust from one eye. A woman working on a mushroom farm near Weston had to leave her job for seven days when a sliver penetrated a fin- ger, which became infected. Her compensation claim was al- lowed. A rare accident was reported from a Thamesford area farm where an employee suffered a painful wrist injury when he was struck by a turkey's wing while assisting in the blood testing of the fowl. As the records show, farms may be highly mechanized to- day but a good percentage of farm accidents are attributed to causes as old as farming itself. To Hold Meeting On March 8 BELGRAVE—The directors of the Morris Township Federation of Agriculture met with the members of Morris Township Council in the township hall on Thursday. A discussion was held on Compensation and the Canada Pension Plan. It was decided to hold an in- formation meeting in the arena rooms, Belgrave, on March 8 and ask East Wawanosh Federa- tion to take part. A discussion was held on war- ble fly control and a motion was passed that the township council promote a systemic method of warble fly treatment and retain inspection and en- forcement of the Warble Fly Act. The matter of a vice-presi- dent was left over for the next meeting. In twenty years Canada has gained 2.5 million immigrants, but lost one million emigrants. Hardy Shore Is Vice-President Roy II.
