Zurich Citizens News, 1977-08-10, Page 11THE CLEANUP BEFORE THE BIG COOKING JOB — George Haggitt of the Zurich Bean Festival com mittee checks the old freezers that will be used to cook beans in a couple of weeks. Staff photo Hot weather leaves its mark Despite two weekend showers the summer heat has left its mark on Huron County crops, according to agriculture representative Don Pullen. The corn crop germinated unevenly because of the heat but light rains will help the situation, said Pullen. Corn yields willbe average this year and farmers will face a double-barrelled problem with the current trends in corn prices, he said. Early planted grains have provided the bestyields in the barley and wheat crops. Fields planted later, and on light soil have suffered from a lack of moisture, said Pullen. "It's really remarkable in this part of the county that things look XORM 'TING 8UCtIOROOP AUCTION SALE Of Real Estate Household Furnishings Antiques and Misc.

TERMS CASH Norm Whiting, Auctioneer Phone 235-1964 as good as they do", said Pullen. Dry summer weather through the centre of the county has kept yields low in that region. The wheat crop was averaged with yields in the 45 to 55 bushel per acre range, he said. Hot weather has caused some flower drop-off in the bean crop this year but it is difficult to estimate how the crop will turn out at this point, said Pullen. Humid weather, conducive to white bean mould, could hurt the bean crop. "What we need is a good gentle 1 -inch rain within the next week and that would do us some good", said Pullen. Hot weather has also resulted in some pea crops being by passed, according to Canadian Canners manager Jack Urquhart. "This is the first time We've bypassed acreage for several years because of the heat", said Urquhart. Hot weather hardens peas by speeding up the maturity rate. "Some of the, acreage was dropped because we couldn't handle it and there was some acreage we had to bypass because of hail damage", said Urquhart. Farmers with bypassed crops are covered by crop insurance, said Urquhart. Pea yields have been above average this year and the harvest is going very well, said Urquhart, Canners corn crops have been doing well and packing should begin by the end of next week, said Urquhart Citizens News, August 10, 1977 SAVE$$$$ Page 11 on these fine USED CARS & TRUCKS 1973 ,GALAXIE-Four door.
