* A #V W?' 'VE AADA TTMN OMNVLE NAI EBDADC lh 9 bucces la Growing Potatoes. Dates Back To Jr. Polto Club T. M. Weatherilt and Sans ai Bethany won first prize and xc- ierve championship at Uic Royal Winter Fair with their entries ai Datatacs. They exhibited the Se- ýago variety. There ie a story ai nteret and persistence behind &hS family's success. Their initial afort ln grawing potatoe dates oack ta 1934 when a junior farm- ers short course was held in Beth- iny under the direction ai Mr. E. A. Summers, agricultural repres- entative., Several clubs were formed and the Weatherilt boys, Earl and Charles, joined the potata club. Each received a bag ai certifled seed ai the Dooley variety do- nated by the Lions Club ai Bow- manville and ta whom each had ta return a bag ai table patatoes in Uic faîl. They were also each given anc-half bag oi fertilizer ta check resuits ai the use ai fer- tilizer. Prior to this the Weatherilt iamîly had neyer used commer- cial fertilizer on their farm. The rcsults were vcry gratifing. -the anc bag ai secd yielded approxi- mately 20 bags ai potataes. They received first prize in the club that year. The following year the club carricd on, with each mecm b e r planting half an acre.ý This crop did net do quite sa wcll and Weatherilts wcre awarded thirdi pmixe. In this yar' Clarence Brown and Earl Weatherilt were chosen to, go to Guelph represent- lng the County of Durham ir. the junior judging tearns. They plac- ed third against teams from al the counties ln Ontario. 1 In 1936 the variety of potatoes .was changed and Irish Cobblers Lwere grown, cach club member receiving a bag ai seed from Northern Ontario At that time 1the Weatherîlts were only graw- ing about three acres of potataes, mostly a variety called S no w Flakes. The price was flot very encouraging, about 75 cents per 90-lb. bag and ahl the work was done by hand. .In 1937 they grew their first Katahdin variety. That was the first year the Wcatherilts grew any quantity. The price was bet- ter, about $1.25 for certified seed. Earl remarks today "Even that price didn't seem much in com- parison with the work. We had ta get up before daylight ta dust thcm for bugs and did it with sacks. But we had secured a dig- 1ger by this time so that simpli- fied the harvesting ta some cx- I tent." A little later they com- menced using a planter. In 1939 they conducted an cx- periment an fertilizer for the On- tario Agricultural College in com- petition with many other growers and had the mast satisfactory re- suits. They were gradually in- crcasing acregge and yicld also increasing the fcrtility of the soil by use of fertilizer and crop rota- tion. In 1941 they purchased a four-row sprayer ta help cambat late blight. _________ ~Vacuum Cleaners-are GREAT!1 ~ Washing Machines -ore G7RËATI SEIecfric Mixers are GRIEAT!

Any ineans of ob- taining a top yield was permitted. That year Alfred Jahnston headed Uic ist with a record ai grawing 560 bushels ta the acre and received a gold watch from the club as bis prize. Ernest Cavana took second prize anid the Weatherilt family were in third place. The ncxt year Uic club was con- tinued and Ernest Cavano re- ceived the gold watch, but on account ai the dry season fia anc reached the 500-bushel mark. The following year oi 1946 with the use oi the new insecticideý DDT ta keep down the leai happer, Uic yield wvas- stepped up consider- ably, Henry Blakely h a v i n g the top record oi 679 bushels ta the acre, the Weatherilts taking second with 648 bushels. Also through the club, Cana- dian Industries Ltd. offered a spe- cial prize bascd on yield, stand in field and quality ai tubers, ta be judged from an exhibit at the Royal Winter Fair held in Tor- onto during November 1946. With 28 other competitors from ail over the province, Uic entry af the Weathcrilt family <T. M. Weatherilt & Sans) was chosen as the best. They received the trophy and a cash prize ai $250, also winning second place and several other prizes in o p e n classes at the Royal: They have also been regular exhibitors at thc Quinte Secd Fair and have always securcd top honors there. Their 1946 yicld was well up ta 500 bushels per acres on their five and one-hali acres ai certificd seed. Another five acres grown for commercial use yielded about 300 bushels ta the acre. "A great deal ai credit is due ta aur agricultural representative, Mr. Summers," said Earl Weath- erilt. "I am quite sure we would neyer bave undertaken p o t a t a growing 50 extensively if il had not heen for him and ather ag- ricultural officiaIs." YOUR EYES Specialist Disney BIdg. (Opp. P-0.)
