Announce Bean Tests for Farms in ' Huron .Hon. W. A. Stewart, Minister' of 'Agriculture, has announced that a comprehensive research program into all Phases of beam production would be carried out. in Huron County:. this year. Under the direction of the Ontario Agricultural Research Institute and the Soils, and Crop Branch •of, the Department of Agriculture, test plots will be established at Varna and at Kippen. The program will in - elude the testing of promising new strains from Michigan and the Harrow Experimental Sta- tion in Ontario. The demon- stration plots will check out herbiscides and insecticides in addition to ekhaustive fertility trials. Much of the testing will be carried out by soils and crop specialists on growers' farms. "It is my conviction that work of'this type can be carried out effectively by test plots on co- operatiOig farms in the various counties of the province, rather than increasing the number of experimental !arms. The 'Soils and Crop branch of the Department is designed to work in close co-operation with local soil and crop • improve- ment 'associations in evaluating new crop production techniques and their utilization under ac- t 1 conditions. Under this m the local 'people are an im ortant part in both the planning and evaluation of the tests." With the International Plow- ing Match being held in Huron County this year, a special pro- gram has been planned on the site of the match, Projects demonstrating new varieties, fertilizer, types and method of application, as well aaa insect control, will prove of interest to the many visitors to the plowing match.
