Around Home The Farmer, a Special Breed by Roy Forrester Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 8th, 1979-3 Kendal News Ontario peaches ready for table "The first of Ontario's fresh peaches are on the market now and there are more to come. This plump sunshine- colored fruit is a real summer treat - offering fresh, juicy, mouth watering flavour with every bite. Several varieities of peaches peaches are grown in Ontario. However, six varieties make up the majority of peaches grown here: Earlired, Sun- haven, Redhaven, Loring, Madison and Redskin. The first varieties available are Earlired and Harbinger which are on the market now. These are both semi-clingstone semi-clingstone peaches, excellent for eating fresh. Sunhaven (semiclingstone) (semiclingstone) is the next variety to arrive - in the first half of August. Redhavens start around August 13. By August 20, Redhavens and Lorings will be in full swing. Madisons and Redskins will be available available in September. If you're planning to freeze peaches, Sunhaven, Jubilee. velvet or LOring. Select peaches according to their background colour, not the blush. The blush differs, depending on the variety, and is not a true indicator of flavour, sweetness or maturity. maturity. Choose peaches with a creamy yellow background; that are firm, yet yield to gentle pressure. Don't pinçh them! Peaches bruise easily. Peaches are delicate and should be handled with care. Let unripe peaches ripen at room temperature, uncovered, uncovered, away from direct sunlight for about 3 to 5 days. Refrigerate ripe peaches and use within 3 to 4 days.

Take the hassle out of summer stains The farmer is not only a specialist in agrobiology and animal husbandry but in many other fields including a businessman, a mechanic, a planner, and engineer and most of the trades you wish to consider. In most instances he is most self-sufficient.. This came home to us on Thursday night when associated associated with a number of farmers or prior farmers of the area in the construction of what may be termed MacDonald's MacDonald's farm at the Orono Fair Grounds. Certainly these men showed their expertise in scrounging material, designing designing a building while in the throws of construction. Since the advent of the new arena MacDonald's farm has been nop-existant at the annual exhibition and x has over the past two years had to give way for more pressing developments and many other attributes. This year we advanced the idea once more of reviving MacDonald's farm for the fair and with the thought of having more permanent quarters. We even went so far as to put a price tag of $300 to $400 for materials to build a facade to MacDonald's farm. Shortly we were visited by the fair president giving . approval for the idea but with the exception that material was available for the construction construction of an old-type building next to the poultry shed. We were also informed that a bee would be organized and with the help of those farmers the building or facade could be constructed in no time. Sure enough we were informed informed on Thursday that the bee was organized and that work would be starting at 6:00 p.m.. Of course they didn't realize that a .printer must at least work nine hour a day even though the farmer can drift off at four in the afternoon. he has many concerns over council and their attitude in maintaining farm land with in the municipality. On leaving Thursday night I said, "Call me when you want to go at it again", with a reply, "Don't work too hard Roy". I take it by the latter comments that perhaps I was at times in the way. Friday evening we received another call. "Your MacDonald's MacDonald's Farm is now completed the ball is now in your hands". Which really brings me to the purpose of this article. Like the building we will neèd some help to stock MacDonald's farm for the fair in early September. Young goats, a couple Of lambs, a couple of calves, hens and chickens, young ducks, pigeons or whatever one may wish to loan which may be an interesting feature at MacDonald's or we would be receptive to even some good ideas. Phone 983-5301. We would like to say when the fair rolls around "At MacDonald's we do it all for you". they visited the City of Coventry. There they saw the charred cross left after the fire bombing of that great Cathedral. Behind it on the stone wall are written the words of our Lord, Father Forgive. It is called the Cross of Forgiveness. Someone found three nails among the ruins. They tied them together into a cross and put them, in the Chapel of Unity. They are called the Cross of Unity.
