•Good Results Obtained
From Crop Experiments
The Huron County Crop Improve-
ment Association celebrated its first
anniversaey a few days ago, when the
annual meeting was held hi the Ag-
ricultural Office at Clinton. With
Harry Strang, liensall, as president,
this branch ,association has done much
la its first year of organized extens-
ion aid experimental work, according
to LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton, .ageicel-
tural representative for Huron Co-
unty.
"Ls a review of results obtained
Irani some of the permanent pastime
!gots in the County, ten of which
have been sponsored by the Huron
Crop Improvement Association, I
would like to quote the figures given
by Lloyd Young, Carlow, in the re-
port on his ONV1t permanent pasture
ea.
"Mr. Young stated, that on five
acres of the permanent mixture, seed,
ed at the rate of 24 pounds per acre,
he had pastured 19 cows and twe
horses for 27 days and 59 nights, but
seven acres oa check pasture, seeded
at 40 pounds per acre, had given only
pasture to the 19 cows and two horses
for 21 days and 41 nights. In con-
cluding, Mr. Young stated that in
seeding his next permanent pasture
he planned to use a heayier rate of
seeding, by increasing the quantity
of each of the greases, used in the
standard mixture.
Drill Width Plots
• "The six dvill-width plots, where
different varieties of oats and barley
were tested, have been assessed in the
field, but as yet no definite figures on
yield are available. Ruesel Bolton,
Dublin, in discussing his plots of
barley, cited the very pronounced diff-
erence in the strength of straw of the
three yarieties on test. The 0.A.C.
No. 21 lodged very badly as a result
of a storrowhich struck just when the
barley as almost line, whereas the
Galone stead up fairly well and. the
Barboff remained quite erect. With
no figures to verify a statement of
yield Mr. Bolton could not conclude
his .report, bet he felt that the Galore
would lead, with the Barboff and O.
A. G. No. 21 coming in second, and
third.
"Mr. Strang, who carried out a
similar test with the three varieties
of barley, found that when combined,
the Galore yielded at the rate of 68
bushels per acre, the Barboff, 58, and
the 0. A. C. No. 21 at 48 bushels per
acre. One unfavourable report for
the Galore was the fact that it con-
tained a noticeable ,amount of ergot.
• Rod -row Testa With Barley
"The rod -row test plots with barley
conducted at the County Home by
Dick Jacob, gave a little different
picture based on figures of yield alone
Of the eight varieties used in this
test, Plush, a smooth awned variety
developed M Manitoba, stood first,
with Byng, Barbara, O. A. 0: No. 21
and Montealm following in the order
mentioned. Montcalan barley is a
comparatively new variety and was
developed at MacDonald College in
Quebec. It is a stronger strewed bar-
ley than O. A. C. No. 21 and more
resistant to mildews and rust. It is
now accepted by the malting com.
payees and probably will replace the
0. A. C. No. 21 as quickly as more
seed is made available. We hopeto
secure a small quantity of Registered
allontealm to sow in the County next
spring. •
"New that I am on the subject a
barley I would like to mention a very
promising variety of winter barley
called "Wang". at has good strength
of straw, is a high yielder and adapts
itself very well to combining. • ,
. Rod -row Tests With Oats
."The yields .from the rod -raw tests
with nine varieties of oats, also eon -
ducted at the ,County Home, put Ajax
at the top of the list followed elosely
by Beaver, Beacom, Cartier, Ethan
and Vicland, with Alaska, Vanguard
and Banner at the lower end of the
list. Beaver, the variety vthica won
the Premium award at Chicago a few
* eke ago, is giaing very promising
remits, but it is felt that the move
recently developed variety Beacom,
with greater strength of straw, a more
desirable sample of graan and greater
turet resistance, is slated to replace
the Beaver very quickly.
"Vicland, salother new variety of
oats introduced from across the bord-
er,isnoted for its comraratively
short growth and great strength of
straw. It is a very early oat and with
its remarkablestrength of straw one
mightasse.se it quite highly as , a
variety for combining purposes.
"The regional test with ten variet-
, les of corn for grain production, was
conducted by Bruce Ray of Londes-
bora, an undergraduate at the Ontario
Agricultural College. Of the ten var-
ieties tested Wisconsin No. 279 topped
• the list with a yield af 75.1 bushels
per acre followed very closely ' by
Wisconsin 276, with 78.4 bushels tam
•ciere, and Wisconsin 335, with 72.3
bushels per acre. These same three
• varieties stood well up on the lis,t of
those tested in 1945. These three
vazieties mentioned are all hybrids,

JOHN CUNINGHAME
DESCRIBES TRIP
ON YACHT "CHIMON"
In a lettei to his parents, Mr. and
MU. Gordon W. Cuninghame, Clinton,
John E. Cuningintme, master of the
schooner aChimon," en route from
Owen Sound to the Bahamas: gives a
graphic description of the trip across
Lake Elie from Detroit to Buffalo.
In addition to the Clinton boy,
those on board were J. A; Middleton,
engineer and technician; Cyril "Bus"
Corbett, navigator; George Watt,
chef; Franklin Hall, all of Owen
Sound; and David Harding, one of
Canada's allatinie great rugby play-
ers, and a veteran of many years'
service with the ROAF.
John said in his letter:
"We have had no end of adventure
since I saw you last. We were forc-
ed into the canal at Buffalo instead
of Oswego, hence missing Toronto,
because of ley conditions on the lakes.
We have 'astonished everybody by
getting through at such a late date
in spite of winter conditions. We
broke all records for the run from
Detroit to. Buffalo — outran two
steamers — top speed 15 miles per
hour, ,average almost nine miles per
hour,
"From midnight till 10 a.m., we
rode at top speed through a real old
storm with all sails set, and the
'Gillman' loved every miaute of at.
She certainly can stand the seas bet-
ter than anything I have ever seen
of her size. One freighter tried
desperately all nightto get away
from us. She belched great clouds
of smoke and fire but as they stoked
their bailers we put on more sail and
all through the night we fought it
otatWitb them...neck and neck.. We
were running abreast only about a
quarter of a mile apart. It took two
of us part of the time to hold the
wheel of the 'Clanton.' When it broke
day the steamer finally waved awe -
well."
The "Ohimon" left Owen Sound on
November 20 bound for the Bahamas,
and in Buffalo had her sails removed
prepavatory to sailing down the Erie
Canal to Albany on the Hudsoa River.
They docked in New York City,

MRS. G. MacLENNAN
SELLS PROPERTY '
TO ROSS FITZSIMONS
Mrs. George IVIacLennaa has sold
her mtore now occupied by Olennie's
Restaurant to Ross Fitzsimons,
bather.
This store was built originally over
50 years ago ,by the late William
Jackson for the sale of gents furnish-
ings and as an auxiliary to the
merchant tailoring busaues carried
on. by his father in the adjoining
Victoria Block.
When the Jackson clothine business
outgrew its quarters and was moved
to the Perth: Block (now being de-
molished), the store was purchased
by Roderice MacLennsoi, and was
used as a bakery and restaurant. At
Mr. MacLennan's death the business
was taken peer by his son, George,
and carried on as a grocery and con-
fectionery store. On George Mac-
Lennan's death, the business was
purchased by J. E. Scott, who con-
ducted it for three years.
1n1940 Glen W. Cook rented. the
store and fitted it up es a restaurant.
It may be of intemst to mention
that it was in this &tore that the
first Telepbone office was set up in
Clinton wth William Jackson as local
agent. Later, the ageney was taken
over by Robert Coates, a local jewel-
ler, and afterwards by the late J. 13.
Rumball.

obtained from Harold Feemlin, Clinton, who for
some years has inade a hobby of pheasant breeding.
These Wads are a cross between the English Ring-
necked variety, and a Chinese pheasant strain which
was introduced by Mr. Fremlin into his flock
several years ago.

there and went back to Halifax. It
took us eight 'buratto get through
the Canal, so we got to Balboa that
evening and went alongside in the

"Going through the Canal is some-

It was really ,swell. You go through
three locks on the east and then into
Gatun Lake. The locks raise you up
about 125 feet. Going through Gatun
Lake, Ws all jungle, and there are a
lot of little islands you go in and
out of. Some places you can nearly
jump to Shore. Oh yea, we saw some
alligators going through there too.
I think that part of the trip was the
hottest of all so far; boy, you nearly
eook! After you get out of the lake,
you come to two more locks and then
to Balboa. We stayed there for three
days and then came on here to
