This year's exchange program has a • new ad- dition with the inclusion of . the homemaking 4-11 club in the exchange. Len McGregor, 4-11 extensionrepresentative from ' the ministry of agriculture, explained that homemaking slut's were included since this year's exchange groups from Illinois and Indiana combine their two club_, divisions. The annual exchange is open to, senior 4-H members, from the ages of 15to19." "It's like a reward for hard work, to get picked to go," Mr. McGregor said. This year over 80 ap- plied to participate. Only 40 could be accepted. In this area, Janet McAllister of RR 1, Zurich.;, • Linda Cun- ningham of RR 1, Au; turn; Jackie Brand, RR's' 3, Clinton; Irvin Pease of RR 2, Blyth; Anita Hamm of Blyth and Gerard Brand of RR 3, Cltnirtnp visited in Black- ford County, Indiana.

While here the 4 -Hers from the 'United States will take tours of in- dustries. and interesting spots in the county and will enjoy a 4-H picnic. Not only is the ex- change held as a social event; _.u .. i i: b t t - Is also -a learning experience for the young people, Mr. McGregor explained. The young peop•ke see agriculture in another area and learn something about ::the people there. Each visiting delegate stays at the home of a 4-11 member. . Although Mr. McGregor noted that Illinois and Indiana are similar agriculturally" \to Huron County, at the end of the exchange, the delegates are required to prepare a- summary, describing what they saw and . learned in the place they visited..: - .. ° . Plans are presently being made for a 1980 summer exchange to visit 4-H t?rouns i Mr. McGregor iioted that -the anticipated cost of this trip still has td be finalized and the Huron 4- H Youth Council is hoping to get some aid in paying.;,.. for transportation costs with help from Open House Cana.da," a government grant program. For the shorter . trips, like this year's exchange, each 4-H member pays half the cost of tran- sportation and the Friend of 4-11 Fund pays the second half. . Helping to cover costs in the yearly exchanges is a major function of the Fund. It is supported ed through donations from organizations and in- •dividuals.

Township Picnic On Wednesday, July 10, the Goderich Township Recreational picnic was held in the Lakeside Park in Goderich Township, with a good attendance and rain holding off till near eight o'clock. Bev and Charlie Orr did a very good job getting the pit going and soon everyone was putting on ' the various meat to cook with., the fine aroma of pork chops, steak, ,hamburg and hot dogs cooking, filling the air. Everyone was soon en- joying their supper. Pea harvest on The 1979 pea harvest, which started Thursday in this area, is expected to be above average. Jack Urquhart, manager of the Exeter branch, of ' Canadian Canners said, "The early peas are yielding well and last week's rain helped the later ones and overall it should be a heavy crop." Urquhart said the rains slowed maturing of the crop and the factory was inactive over the weekend, but, was back in business Monday morning. He indicated double shifts would likely start this week allowing for more employment. Urquhart added, "We have had lots of help, but, if anyone is still looking for. work we will take their applications." The local manager said the corn crop has been affected by the weather. He went on to say, "The cool, damp, weather is excellent for peas, but not good for corn. We should really have two kinds of weather for .the two crops."

Mrs. O'Brien of Goderich won this game: Then the ear ring game with four ,teams playing, • was held and' team two won. The third game saw the ladies trying to pu4 -a tie on a man correctly and this was won by Millie Lobb and Garry Martin, all of the town- ship. We just finished this game when_the rain came. During the day, many. took the walk down to the lake, as a very in- teresting path has been made. Perhaps next year we could have a bigger crowd out to enjoy this. event. Area youth does well at Markham sheep show David Townsend, 16, of RR 3, Seaforth was one of the top junior showman at the Sheep Focus •'79 show held in Markham over the weekend. David finished fourth out of 52 competitors who started off in the demanding junior show that required the boys and girls to completely wash, clip, trim and get a lamb ready for showing. David is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Townsend, and was one of only two Huron County representatives at the show. Marilyn Archambault of Auburn was also entered in the. junior competition. Receiving VVheat iite Beans conciliator was unac- ceptable because a number of outstanding issues were not settled. The union bargaining committee met Monday to decide on its course of action. At the moment, it appears that the' union will continue the rotating strikes rather than propose a full walkout. "We can hurt the in- dustry nfore. by . being inside on the job and having- quick, short walkouts," said Seymour, referring to the delays in telephone in- stallation and service caused by the rotating strikes. "It's ' a way of putting pressure on the company." Bell Canada supplies telephone service for much of Quebec and Ontario. The conciliation report recommended'a 30 -month agreement with a 101/2 - per -cent pay increase retroactive to last Dec. 1 r with an additional eight per cent effective next Dec. 1 followed by another eight per cent on Sept. 1, 1980. ' `One of the prime i§sues is the questioif 'of - compulsory overtime,' said Seymour. "At present, Bell 'can schedule you," to work overtime up to a maximum of eight hours a week without your consent. "That's a bone of contention because membership -wants complete voluntary..:_. overtime. In the report, the commissioner stated that it (compulsory overtime) would still stay at eight hours a week, but that it would only be 24 hours in a four-week period, -and that doesn't address the issue satisfactorily."

But that quackgrass came up anyhow, choking your crop and taking a bite out of your potential yield. Jamming up the works at harvest time. Don't: let it happen again next year. Get the jump on quackgrass, right after harvest. But not by plow- / ing. Plowing just breaks up the weeds, leaving under- 9(. ground root. networks ready to send up new shoots, in the spring. This year, before you fall plow, let quackgrass regro* until most of di the weeds are at least eight inches high (the three or four leaf stage of growth). Then, anytime before the first weed killing frost, apply Roundup® herbicide by Monsanto. Roundup quickly translocates throughout the treated weeds, destroying them— root -networks and all. Just five days after using Roundup, you can plow as usual. (Note: If you prefer to apply Roundup in the spring, don't plow the fields this fall.) - Stop quackgrass before it attacks next year's crop. With a ; post=harvest application of Robndup before you plow. There's never been a herbicide like this before. • ALWAYS READ AN FOLLOW THE LABEL b1R8CTIONS FOR ROUNDUP..
