despite the thill evening air wheat yields disappoint considerable discussion took place re the somewhat disappoint ing yields which many farmers have secured this year from their winter wheat in short there is a heavycrop of straw tout the yields on the average would appear to be between 30 and 33 bushels per acre with wheat at present prices that is not an encouraging picture in view of the

driving bright sun shine and thalr crisply cool altho we have been going up to inverburon every summer for about ten years this was the first time we had ever driven up to the tub as tobermory is known to people who live on the bruce peninsula its about ninety miles front the beach with an excellent road all the way we just took our- time however the better to enjoy a countryside new to us gateway to the peninsula is wiar- ton a town with a hreathtafclngly beautiful approach from its nor thern entrance as the road winds down the steep escarpment you can see the whole town nestled in the curve of a deeply cut hay the water is vivid blue pointing up the contrast of colourful rooftops i imagine many an artist has tried to capture that scene on canvas a after wiarton you are actually travelling up the i peninsula with the waters of bake huron on the one side and georgian bay on the other both never really very far away how ever driving on the main road you dont have an opportunity to see the water or to see those resorts so wellknown for their good fish ing such as red bay pikes bay stokes bay and howdenvale so about ten miles or so above wiar- ton we took af left turn to connect with the sideroad that runs along the lakeshore in order to see all these places i had packed a picnic lunch which we ate along the road side not far from red bay almost as soon as we started up hc peninsula we noticed a change in the terrain it becomes very rocky and sort of wildlooking life there would be very quiet i imagine and certainly the area hasnt been commercialized there 1 dr x

conveni- ence to travellers in the form of a beautifully kept playyard area for tiny tots picnic tables and in a carefully protected enclosure several huge black bears i the store itself is two or three stores rolled into one china i brassware fine glass woollens of every description copperware rustic furniture and woven wicker goods all in separate depart- ments each large enough to call itself an individual store they carried a tremendous stock made me wonder how they could pos sibly sell it all but its pretty bard not to spend money when you go in without much effort we put a hole in a tendollarbill and we werent browsing around for very long i suppose it would be very hard not to stop there either on the way to or from tobermory because they have one very big advantage everyone going to the tub has to pass their establishment so i guess they do a good business it just seemed so odd to see a store like that set down right in the middle of a wilderness practically we
