Clinton News-Record, 1980-11-27, Page 13' Dianne Oldfield Huron Dairy Princess chosen By Wilma Oke Dianne Oldfield, 21, .ot RR. 4 Seaforth, was chosen Huron County Dairy Princess at a dairy princes:; ball in Brussels Saturday night. Dianne, a third -year economics student at the University of Western Ontario, will compete in the provincial dairy princess competition at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1981. The four other con- testants were: Vicki Jeffray of Wingham ; Janet McIntosh of RR 5 Brussels; Ena Smid of RR 3 Blyth and Carolyn Strong of RR 1 Gorrie. Miss Oldfield and the other contestants were recipients of many gifts. She will be busy speaking at many meetings during her year as princess. The Huron County Milk Committee sponsored the contest. Exploring the past Our stony is fast drawingtoa close,, but before it ends, we should take a .quick look at the misuse of land in Upper Canada in the late 1700's. Along with the grants given out to private .in- dividuals around this period, other large. parcels were set aside for various purposes. Old English Colonial laws stated that a percentage of land in each new township be set aside for the church. These parcels of land became known as Clergy Reserves, Unfortunately these particular plots of land contributed to the slow CLINTON NEWS-RECDRD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27; X ..pAG 13. e misuse of the land in Upper development of 'Upper Canada' in its early Years. They en- compassed a vast amount of : land which otherwise co>,ld have been granted to settlers. If this land was not secularized by the mid -1800's it was split up and granted to private individuals, • Early laws had also forced a 'seventh' of the land to be left aside for Crown Reserves. There was also a `common' left in every township around the town sites. These portions of land were used to - build for- tifications and for other Government projects. A hayfield Guides and Pathfinders Thursday November 6, was a big night for the local Girl Guides and Pathfinders which make up the Bayfield Troups. District Commissioner, Mrs. Diane Buchanan of Goderich, several parents and grand- parents and other farifily members (of the girls) were welcomed at the Anglican Church Parish Hall. The First Guide Company of Bayfield and their Guiders, Mrs. Joyce Chilton, Mrs. Jean Dunn and Mrs. Carolyn P„pnhale said good-bye to a number of girls they had last year in their 'company'. These girls crossed the bridge into the First Bayfield Path- finders Unit. Pathfinder, Guiders, Mrs. Barb Sturgeon and Mrs. Nora West, along with Commissioner Buchanan enrolled Serena Chilton, Donna Gerger, Tracey Fansher, Chris Westlake, Leigh Anne Taman, Laura Roy and Luanne Erickson into the group. Mary Ellen. Van Aaken was absent and will be enrolled at a Borer not too bad..... • from page 12. FIELDS APPEAR WORSE THAN OTHERS? I certainly don't have all the explanations, but we have parts of the answers. For instance, young corn plants produce a chemical called dimboa. This chemical kills small borers when they start to feed. When the corn plant is small, this chemical is in concentrated quan- tities in the plant. The older the plant gets, the more diluted this chemical is, thus earlier planted corn is less tolerant to borers. Also, we are not sure if all hybrids produce this chemical. I can't get a direct answer from the Palmerston clerk charged PALMERSTON - Palmerston's clerk - treasurer has been released on $15,000 bail following a hearing in Guelph court. Charged with theft in connection with an in- vestigation into the alleged misuse of municipal funds, Ross Saunders, 41, was or- dered held in custody recently. Mr. Saunders has been the clerk - treasurer of Plamerston since 1969. Following a committee meeting involving members of council, councillors -elect and three representatives of the ministry of in- tergovernmental affairs, Palmerston Mayor Keith Askett said that while no verification had been 4110 made, indications are that the amount of money involved could exceed $250,000. Mr. Saunders was scheduled to appear in court in Guelph on November 26. corn companies. Another part of the story is that the borer moths were later laying eggs this year than normal; The -y reach the peak numbers in Perth and Huron between -July 10 and 25. This year it was closer to July. 25. The eggs from these moths would be hatched later than normal. At this time, probably the dimboa level in the corn was low enough to give poor natural control. WHAT ABOUT NEXT YEAR? Research from the U.S. suggests large numbers will overwinter. However, there is nothing you can do. Tillage and crop rotation have no effect. Research done by Terry Daynard in the 70s at the University of Guelph is enlightening. Grain __c0.rn. fields' -h.e--Hu.ren_countie the previous year had 85 percent of the plants with corn borer. At the same time, another field that was in sod in the previous year, had 80 percent of the stalks with corn borer. It was about one- fifth of a mile from this field to.the nearest corn field. Researchers from Agriculture Canada tell us that it is quite common to find 80 percent of the corn plants with borer every year. Fur- thermore, one corn borer per plant will not reduce yield. Also we have no idea when the main moth flights will be next year. So far' I have been talking only about the one generation brood of corn borer. South of 401, there is a second generation brood of corn borer. To my knowledge, Perth and checked had 70 to 85 percent of the plants with corn borer present. One field that was in a zero tillage program with corn later date. Mrs. Sturgeon ex- plained the rule of the Pathfinders and how well ,': the new group is func- tioning as the girls are learning and having fun. Afterwards, seven new Girl Guides were enrolled, Audrey Dollery, Chanda Chilton, Lydia Erickson, Cindy Scott, Rayann Scotchmer, Cathy aw and Kim Snell. Julia Ritchie was presented with the badges she had earned at Camp Keewaydin last sum-rn e r. The Pathfinders en- tertained with their 'Like' band and several songs followed by a delicious luncheon served by the Guides. the one generation brood. Some of the information you read from other areas may be concerning - the two generation brood. LET US INSTALL...

This land could also be leased from the government for a period of 30 years for agricultural purposes. Other persons build ng up vast amounts of land at that time included the surveyors themselves. In many cases, they would take grants of land in place of money as pay. As a result, they became prosperous people as land grew scarce and they sold off their accumulations at inflated prices. It is easy to see that much land went unused at a time when settlers were begging for land gr-ants—an governing body's first acts was to set up a land board for each district. Each board was to have a Surveyor -General in charge, The system lasted until 1794 when it was abolished and they reverted back to the old way with the Surveyor - General of the Province (or his deputy) being responsible for land matters. Not much else was going on at the time in our own area of the province save for Henry Wolsey Bayfield's sounding and surveying of the lakes which began in 1815 and - concluded nine years later. During this period he set foot on what was to became obsolete ,in 1829. The advantage to this system was that the land. could be granted out in half lots. But everything had to be speeded up. The government wanted more settlers and wanted them on the land faster. Now was the time for the huge land companies to enter on the scene and suck Up growth was slowed im- mensely. ..
