Late seeding conditions
throughout this area • have far-
mers running from two weeks to
a month behind schedule, de-
pending upon the type of ®trop
they plan to sow.
Contacted following last Thurs-
day's torrential downpour which
added over two inches of rain to
an already wet month, Michael
P. Miller of Clinton, assistant
agricultural representative for
Huron •County, said the situation
is getting "fairly serious now."
"It is already late for grain and
is getting very late for corn plant-
ing," Mr. Miller said.
Virtually no crops have been
planted in the north end of Huron,
Mr. Miller said, and only limited
planting has taken place in the
south end. Much of what has been
planted was standing in water as
of last weekend. "And the seeds
should be out of water within 48
hours," . according to `Mr. Miller.
Ken Graham of Stratford, the
assistant agricultural repre-
sentative for Perth County
estimated there would be a
decrease in the crop yield for the
county this year of between 15 to
20 per'cennt.
The Stratford agricultural
office reported the south end of
the county received well. over.two
inches of rain during the storm
last Thursday. Staffa reported
getting 2.45 inches and Downie
Township, 2.30 inches.'
Richard Hunter, resources
manager of the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority which
has its headquarters at Wroxeter
reported the rainfall there
measured .31 inches from 12 noon
and 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 16,
and 1.68 inches from 5 p.m. until 1 ,
a.m. on Friday, May 17, for a
total of 1.99 inches.
Total rainfall for Southwestern
Ontario for 1VIay to date measures
over five inches. Normal rainfall
for the month is about . three in-
ches.
Roe Farms Ltd. of Atwood
which plants approximately 700
acres in corn reported today that
they • hadn't started seeding yet
and said they were already two
full weeks. behind schedule.
Malar Farms. near Kurtzville
reported similar conditions.

Townships report that they,
started seeding on Good Frid ly�
in 1973 which fell on April 30
Many more said they had
finished their seeding, by April 24
in 1973.
Getting their crops in the
ground isn't the only thing worry,
ing farmers. Feed supplies. are
getting low and the cold weather
has delayed pasture growth.
"Certainly pasture growth p is
fairly slow due to the cool
weather," Mr. Miller said. "What
there is is very lush, but there
isn't much food value in it."'
Mr. Miller said both hay . and
straw had become "quite pricey"
with prices ranging upwards
from 75 cents per bale.
"And there isn't a lot of hay
around," he added. "It's mostly a
case of one neighbor selling a; foot
bales to another if he hears .he. is
short and can spare it himself,"
Agricultural representatives
from both Perth and Huron

Countiee also reported that farm-
ers in the st n portions : of ti!

Listowel Prepared,
Unlike some places where flood
damage came ;a3 a surprise,
people in Listowel were aroused
from their beds ,as early 2 as 11'
p.m. to prepare for :tile worst,
"We were watching the river
and it rose •, seven inches. in 46
minutes," said Fire Chief Tom
Blackmore. "That's when we
first sounded the alarm"
of. Bladmore saidthe fire
at. tom: to call all
busioesamen in thedowntown
area. Residents living in senior
citizen apartments which are
located near theriver, were aha
alerted,
While Widows rushed to
clear, merchandise to higher
ground, Listowel Transport Lines
Ltd. made a number of the'
trucks available to move wares
out of the area. Donegan's Haul-
age supplied sand for sandbag-
ging with, .many of the bags
coming from the Shur Gain Farm
Service mill, formerly Nichol's
Feed Mill. ' •
"Between 4 and 5 a.m. Friday, °
the water was up to the centre .

Avenue," Chief Blackmore said.

THE MAITLAND AT NEWBRIDGE_..-Usuall`slow moving
and shallow at Newbridge, southeast of Fordwich, the
Maitland River on Friday had little regard for its own banks
or fence boundaries. Many riverside fences were ripped out
' by the ranipaging waters: Although rivers and streams had
greatly receded by Monday, they are still running above
liversige for this time of year and are considered dangerous.
