Contrary to what many non' gardeners might suppose, not all cucumbers are equal. Nor are all beans, carrots, cabbages, roses, gladioli, or even petunias. At last week s annual flower and vegetable show sponsored by the Newcastle Horticul- turah Society, Archie Whitmee of the show committee ex- plained some of the finer points of vegetable judging. Should Snap Beans, he said, should go snap" when you break them. beets should be about two and one quarter inches in di- ameter. Potatoes should be smooth and uniform, without too many deep eyes and tomatoes should be free of blemishes. There are similar standards for fhowers, Before the judge awards the blue ribbon to a prize wmnning flower, he'Il check for'such many junior gardeners took flower, he'll check for such children who entered wihl be part this summer was a given a prize of some kind, De ndDropsîn 7976, AyI rAuction C/oses Gwen Gibson, of Newcastle with her award winning display of salad-type vegetables at last Thursrday's hortictural show in Newcastle. About 32 senior exhibitors took part in the show.

Munro, Jessica Mostert, Can. Imp. Bank of Commerce, T.R.I.O. ANTENNA LTD, Mrs. A. Stephenson, Berneice Milligan, E.R. Lovekin, and to all who made it a good show. The Newcastle village Chamber of Commerce is with a group of five others in the, Region of Durham joining together to form a common body to represent them. Chamber of Commerce representations from New- castle, Orono, Oshawa, Scu- gog, Whitby and Ajax met for preliminary sessions to organ- ize the Association of Cham- bers of Commerce of the Board's' of Directors (AC- CORD). Newcastle and District Chamber of Commerce Pre- sident Bud Wagar said com- mon concerns discussed in their preliminary meetings were an indication that in the future the regional body will serve a useful purpose. The president and vice- president of the Newcastle chamber will automatically become ACCORD members when they have their first meeting soon. "The regional body will mean we can join together on issues which affect all of us and we can use the experience of other chambers'on specific issues relating to our area," Mr. Wagar said. things as freshness and uni- formity of blooms. For gladioli, straight stems are important, and Mr. Whit- mee said that in the case of roses, foliage is important as well as blooms. At the flower and vegetable show last Thursday afternoon and evening, there were about 32 senior exhibitors who displayed their green thumb skills at the Newcastle village hall. Junior Gardeners And junior gardeners in the area had a chance to get in on the act too. hn one category, the children hada chance to play with their food, and they made rabbits, racing cars and people out of heaves, carrots, beans, cu- cumbers, and even slices of oranges. Another program in which many junior gardeners took part this summer was a vegetable and flower growing competition. Narda Hoogkamp, who help- ed organize the program, explained that about 40 child- ren were ail given flower seeds on May 24. Plant Gardens After that, they had to plant a six foot square garden and take care of it during the summer. The gardens were inspected from time to time during the summer and at the flower and vegetable show, the end re- suits of the summer's work were displayed. Marigolds, beets, beans and carrots were just a few things entered by about 27 budding gardeners, all of them under the age of 12. Although there were only prizes of first, second and third for each of the flower and vegetable categories, Mrs. Hoogkamp said all of the children who entered will be given a prize of some kind. From a peak denand of 250 pounds in 1973 and 1974, the Canadian Manufacturers' To- bacco Council is requesting that Ontario growers produce only 175 million pounds of the golden brown leaf this year, As a result, the Aylmer Tobacco Exchange will be closed for business this sea- son, leaving the Delhi and Tillsonburg operations to carry the full load, By shutting down the Ayl- mer exchange, the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board hopes to eut costs and save much, needed revenue, according to Mac Frew, who represents growers m the Northumberland, Dur- ham and Alliston regions. The production of tobacco will be down over 10 per cent from 1975 in order to comply with decreased demands by the tobacco manufacturers Mr. Frew would like to see production cut back even further -- by about 14 million pounds. Surpluses from pre- vious years may give the manufacturers an edge that le doesn't think wilh benefit the growers. Ontario tobacco producers have been guaranteed $175 million for the 1976 crop or an average of a dollar per pound, average of a dollar per pound, book in $1250. up six cents from hast year. If the total crop doesn't fetch the guaranteed price, deficiency payments will be made to the growers by the tobacco manufacturers at the end of the annual marketing season.
