years of utenslve study and preliminary excava tions Barrie Chamber of Com merce hopes to begin rcslora tion of Fort willow in August or September But all depends on finances Welham secretarymanager Mr Weiharn estimates it will cost the chamber $15000 to $20000 to restore the fort as it was during the War of 1812 At that time Fort Willow at the terminus of the NineMile Portage was naval establish mentaswcllasalinkinthc supply route from Fort York in Toronto to Fort Michilimackinac at the mouth of Lake Michigan FIRST ROAD 1N AREA The NineMile Portage was the first road constructed in this area in the late 10th cen tury following the old lndian trail and formed the connect ing link between Lake Simone and Georgian Bay During the War of 1312 the road was wid ened to permit transport of supplies to the fort by wagon small settlement grew at the fort but has long Sinceidisap peered The first excavations at the site were madein August 1958 by Dr Wilfrid Jury curator of the Museum of Indian Arch aeology at the University of Western Ontario assisted by Ross Channen Grant Mayor Coulis Norman Clarke and Cy Allison of Barrie At that time trenches were laid out and test 11085 dug As result in 1959 the group was able to pinpoint the areas of habitation and lay out reconstruction map of the fort site RECONSTRUCT FORT At the time of the first ex cavations there were some vis ible remains of the decayed fort Further excavations re vealed timber palisade had surrounded the fort and anyone who Vlle the site will see the beginnings of the palisade wall which whencompleteiy recon structed will surround the fort as it did in During the excavations corn erstones were found at the corn ers of many of the buildings which helped in determining the fort layout At the present time red markerstakes set out according to Reg the corners of the buildings and the heginnings of the log build ings can be seen 0n the path which luds to the river brick kilnwasfiis covered and the remains are visible to anyone who looks closely PICNIC ATTRACTION The site is ideally located and when fully completed should prove an excellent attraction to local picnickers and nature lov ers From the plateau on which the fort is situated the Coiling wood Mountains are visible through the grove of poplar trees The plateau overlooks the threegunners of mile from Willow Creek The road leading to th fort is th om road on the left immediately across the CPR tracks on concession 10 three miles north of Sunnidale Road The Chamber of Commerce is developing thesite as tourist allructionand for its value in studylng history on the ground according to Mr Wei hum Coulis director of the chamber stressed We Can adians tend to bdittie our own historic sites We would rather play them down than play them up He feels this site willbe of particular interest to American tourists They know their own side of the war and would be interested in knowing the Canadian side Mr Coutts points out that Can ads is asrich as the US in historic sites and should put them to better use ALL WINDOWS BROKEN Though the site is not yet of ficially open to the public it seems it is known to localmis chief makers who have broken every window in the of in lormaton boot adjacent to the site It would appear there are some members of the commun ity who have little regard for part of our history which the chamber is trying to restore to the community The chamber is holding its an nual pony show in August in hopes of raising enough money to get the project underway If Barrie residepfs get behind and push it might put the ef fort over the top MuslSupport Agencies Tackling Delinquency Judge Warns Govt TORONTO GP Senior Judge IV Lorne Stewart dealing with the first of record crop of 20 Juveniles arrested in one

getting field or two ready for this crop to be seed ed about midSeptember Wheat is an important cash and feed grain crop in Simcoo County where over the county as whole our annual acre age ranges from 7550000 acres with an average yield over the past 10 years of 33 bushels per acre and value ranging from to three mil lion doilars per annum In contrast to this aiverage of 38 bushels we sometimes see yidds as low as 10 bushels per acre and yields of 60 bushels per core are not unheard of Wile 0rdered Reium HOme VIAREGGIO Italy Reuters Prince Albert of Belgium and his itaiianborn wife Princess

photographers here fTHEDANCE or TH Appearing in range of soil types such as sandy loam clay loam and clay providing there is rea oonable drainage In North Simcoe the greater partrofvouc wheat acreage is grown in Sunnidale Flos Vespra and cm townshipsywith rather lim ited acreage in the remaining townships In this connection we report threeyear study in 1956 1957 and 1550 as to production costs and returns for winter wheat as recently completed by the farm economics branch of our department This study was based cn187 reports kept by cooperating farmers from the major wheat producing counties including Simcoe County Followingfls summary of this report as to average ex pauses and revenue of winter wheat grown Average total cost per acre was $43 as fol lows Power and machinery use $1427 83 per cent materials seedfertillzer manure etc $1371 31 per cent farm lab or $642 15 per cent use interest and taxes $670 16 per cent other items $281 five per cent Returns per acre amounted to $62 for the wheat plus $7 per acre for the straw or total crop value of$69 leaving return for risk and manage ment of $26 per acre NOT PROFITABLE it wasfound that the average yield was 38 bushels per acre and that yield of less than 36 bushels was unprofitable that the average wheat amcage per farm was 122 and that less than 10 acres per farm gave Person land little profit that the average crop value was $72 per $100 value of land used and that earnings1mproved asthavait us of the crop each year be came more nearly equalto the value of land used This report also showed that the farm cost of total digestible nutrients in wheat compared favorably with other grains the average cost per pound TDN being as follows Wheat l6c spring grain 211 corn silage Lac mixed hay Me This information suggests that if we have wheat and no suit able market outlet it can re place part of our home grown grains satisfactorily Summing hip this report on winter wheat costs and revenue come to the conclusion that while all factors are important good yield per acre is key factor if we are to obtain pro fitable returns on growing wheat Use of commercial fer tilizer based on soil test is usually necssary to get good yields and the average use was about 200 lbs per acre at cost of $695 per acre The soil test for wheat land should be takenas soon as possible completesummer fallow is not to be recommended unless this is the only way clean seed bed can be prepared summer fallow costs too much when the loss of one years crop and the extra tillage costs are considered partial sum mer fallow following early out hay or pasture is on the oth er hand very good practice as we get our annual crop and still have time to prepare good seed bedby midSeptem EI WEEK CLARENCE rogman HENRY YOU ALWAYSHURT THE
