fjic 12 the tkibcxe touraciay april 15 1971 gary oats still the old reliable by aa wall agricultural rep for york region york region seed grain is a popular type these days even without spectacular new varieties there is general interest in trying something different in oats there isnt much room there have been several new ones over the years but none of them could quite make it past the old reliable garry so its garry again sioux if you just want a change and stormont if you are really fed up with cutting oats that are lodged badly herta is still the variety to beat in feed barley and there are two that might just do it brock and fergus do well in tests and are as good or better in disease resistance so they are worth a try but seed is not very plentiful spring wheat yields still havent caught up so if they wont do better than oats they dont belong here we have had some ideal weather last week for putting nitrogen on wheat the earlier the better and enough frost to carry the tractor sure helps so far wheat appears to be coming out of the winter nicely there is always some interest in broadcasting forage seeds on either wheat or old sod its not a very great idea but there are situations where it can be the best answer the best chance for success is if its done right away the seeds have to have very wet soft greasy soil surface conditions along with lots of rain to get in deep enough for a good root system they wont make it if seeding is put off till nice weather in may getting uptodate information on crops is very easy now our publication field crop recom

committee commended by twp council pickering twp pickering township museum on highway 7 at brougham has now been in existence since its official opening on the occas ion of the townships 150th anniversary in 1961 council in com mittee commended the museum board for their struggle to create a tangible record of the township and area history despite a not- toofavorable report by the metro toronto and region con servation authority the authority had been asked for advice and financial assistance they responded with advice which in the museum boards and councils opinion was useful but not entirely applicable to a small museum with limited funds that the site was not suitable according to the authority because of the proposed widening of highway 7 which would take off some of the frontage could not be remedied at this time it was agreed because of the extensive cost the buildings if not thought to be in locations not in accord with the original plan could be moved for more strategic effect on the site when they were fully restored chairman of the board harry t cooke told council that last year 9000 people visited the museum grounds and 2000 students with their teachers at tended in the opinion of the teachers mr cooke said this was one of the finest museums they had seen and ideal for teaching purposes because it was small and compact mr cooke told of the buildings that had been restored said that the immediate objective was to restore the balance to the authentic period of their existence and maintain them in a state of repair he said the museum was in two parts 19th century exhibits and an area setting forth an early 20th century steam barn and gasoline barn this year the board with the assistance of the historical society is planning to conduct tours mr cooke explained that there had not been a publicity program because of the state of disrepair of some of the old buildings but that one would come beginning this year because they had more to offer the canadian broadcasting com pany had made the museum the background for a couple of films he said and were ready to publicize it as soon as the board was ready to compete with black creek pioneer village was considered by deputy reeve george ashe to be rather unfair since it cost them some half million dollars per year to maintain he thought it rather ludicrous that the authority criticized the site which would be squeezed tight with road widening when their own village was in the same situation councillor jsscott along with other councillors was disturbed by the authoritys report and said that buildings were added without any intention of becoming a pioneer village councillor don kitchen said that he thought the museum had tremendous potential it was on a main artery from metro toronto especially com mended both by mr cooke and by council members were robert miller and milton parkin mr parkin observed that there was a source of education that cannot be obtained anywhere but in the local museum he said that one thing you can learn is that a very superior loaf of bread can be made for 10 cents in the days before additives were included in the ingredients and the flour was divested of its nutritional value adoption of the budget said coun cillor ron chatten is a vote of confidence in the museum board the 1971 budget for the museum was 980000 reeve john williams said that he would set up a meeting with council and the board at the museum grounds and promised that council would be on hand on history in action day in sep tember i spring i home improvement s values i
