Conern mounting
for remaining crop
-With the area -once again
hit by heavy rains, concern
mounts for the bean and corn
crops still in the fields. -
While many farmers have
completed their bean har-
vest, taking advantage of the
ideal conditions during the
early part of the week of the
International Plowing
Match. Huron agricultural
representative Don Pullen
said this week thele may still
be about one-quarter of the
bean crop still in the fields.
He said many farmers fear
that beans that have been
pulled and are in puddles in
their fields will be "written
off" but there is still hope

, that those standing will be
harvested.
"We'll have to have the
'-'right kind of weather,"
Pullen explained this week,
noting that field conditions
have deteriorated with the
incessant ram. Over eight
inches of rain have fallen in
the past month or so. •
Practially all bean far-
mers have at least part of.
their crops off. Pullen
suggested.
About, half the ensilage
corn crop is still in the fields -
and is ready for harvest as
soon as farmers can get back
into their fields.
Grain corn harvesting is
also expected to get into high •
gear soon.
.Pullen not that this has
been "not tc6 bad a year,
generally" although some
farmers have experienced
excellent yields and others
have been well below
average.
- The extremes in weather
conditions have brought
varying results from one
area to" another in the
county. but -on. ---the whole
Pullen says farmers should
have an acceptable year if
the weather straightens
around so the final harvest
can be completed and some
fall plowing finished.

Hoping to
break even
Although the International
Plowing Match near
Wingham set attendance and
participation records, it may
be some time before it is
known whether the event
showed a profit.
Agricultural represent-
ative Don Pullen. who acted
as secretary. said it will
probably be November
before the financial report is
completed.
W'e're hoping to at least
break even, he- said this
week. While there were
record crowds of 215.000 and
more exhibitors in the tented
city. Pollen noted that ex-
penses go up each year as
well.
Chairmen of the various -
committees, are now'
tabulating their receipts and
expenditures.
While the org5nizers don't
know if they made a profit,
most Huron organizations
which had food booths at the
event or participated in
other attractions. report
financial successes.

On mobile homes
Amendment turned down
A controversial amend-
ment to the .Huron County
Federation of Agriculture's
land use polio' statement
regarding mobile homes was
turned down by federation
members' at their monthly
meeting.
The amendment to the
land use policy presented by
Merle Gunby. a member of
the land use committee, read
"nobite
homes should be
permitted only as a secon-
dary or temporary residence
where the occupant is ac-
tively engaged in operating a
taro."
The original policy, which
still stands, said. "Mobile
homes should be permitted
only as part of a mobile home
,park or as a secondary or
primary residence where the
occupant is actively engaged
in operating the farm."
In presenting the motion.
Mr; Gunby said' the com-
mittee didn't want their
proposal to seem like "we
were recommending mobile
home parks."
Mason Bailey, a member
of the audience. said. "Alt
your • Ipds aren't going to
farm' nd alt of them won't
want to live in a 550,000 --
house."- He added: "some
may want t live iR a

said "We as farmers want to
keep people at least I:000 feet
away from our buildings."
Mr. dunbyy added the land
-use committee felt mobile
parks would be detrimental
to agriculture in the area in
the long run.

He said. "Mobile homes
dont pay tax dollars to the
community proportional to
educational costs and ser-
vices "
On a vote of the members,
the motion to amend the
original policy regarding
mobile homes *as lost. •
A second amendment to
the land use policy regarding
cottage development in
Huro'h County was passed by
,the members.
The amendment read.
"Further cottage or so-
called "seasonal residential
development" in Huf'on
County should not be per-

policy was that cottage

Gordon Hill. a federation
member, asked if the
proposed change would
mean the federation opposes
cottage and seasonal
residences along river
properties in the county:
Mr. Gunby said the
amendment also covered
this area. He said committee
members were concerned
about developments being
built where the houses were
termed seasonal residences
but in the long run would be
used as .permanent homes.
lie said a town is being
