Quite a large number of Farm
Account Books have come into the
office and we are making good •
progress in getting them processed

let us.have them as soon as poss.'

work cleaned away sooner than.
usual. •••
It is encouraging to note the
comparatively; healthy incomes of,
the beef and hog farmers. This
boostin the .income has been long
overdue, We have not had very.
Quality controlled for your satisfaction
many account books for dairy tar
mers as yet.They' are: obviously
not quite as.high but there is also .
some encouragement here and I
think they will be slightly •better
than a year ago
• The wide variation in- income in
farmers with the satne..lines and
classes of stock it just as. apparent •
as it has been over the years. ,
is great encouragement to us to see
farmers who have been on the Farm
Management Plan for several years
build up good solid • farm businesses
and these farmers are now in a pos-
ition to go ahead and make compar.
.atively high incomes. It doestake
a long timeand some patience to •
build a good farm business to fit
in with the modern demands but
many of our' farmers have done
just that. There isso much study.
:to be done by -many farmers to'
realize just what' makes a good
farm set-up. I am inclined to'
think that a 'comparatively ,small
percentage of the farmers realize'
this or there would, be a great deal
more interest in farm management
work than there is.: So many think
that there is either money in dairy
cattle, . beef cattle., or hogs with
very little thought that the money
is either made or lost according. to
'how these different lines are hand-
led.'
We plan on a series of three imee
tings in three suitable locations 'in
Bruce County in the latter part of
Febraury. The dates 'and places .
will beannounced later. The gen-
eral trends of farm' management:
will be discussed at these meetings;
also the new Farm Account Book.
'The new farm account book is 'con-
'siderably differen

`About 300 farm account books have

ers will have had an Opportunity to
look them over' and we can dis-
cuss the finer pointi of farm act-
'.ount- keeping as At applies to these
new books.

related subjects... Places for these
meetings have not been selected..
The ldn$ awaited 'Organization
Meeting of the Bruce County Dairy ;
Committee is scheduled to "take
place at Fortnosa on Tuesday , Feb-
ruary 8th, at 1.30 p.m. I believe
we have about 1,300' dairy farm-
ers in Bruce County: and these dairy
farmers . will have an- opportunity
to select 15 Directors to represent
them :so they willhave some say
in the• retorganization of the dairy
business as it is to be in the future..
On Friday, February, 11th ;.the
Bruce County Hog Producers Assoc?
iation are holding their Annual
Meeting.. Besides electing Direct-
ors,Vrizes' are being offered for the
biggest percentage improvement in.
Grade" A's" ' for 1965 over 1964.
$100.00 is being offered in prizes
of $26.00,.$15.00 and =$10.00 for
those Marketing up to 100 hogs'and
a similar set of prizes for those
marketing over 100 hogs. To app-
ly for these prizes the grading
slips .for 1964' and 1965 are to be
sent to the Department of .Agricul-. '
ture, Walkerton, by February 7th.. .
The Cominittee.in charge of the
Quality -Hog Program in the County
propose a program which intiudes .
ithe continuing. of the monthly
prizes; also the largest' percentage
increase.in Grade "A's'" in 1966 ov-
er .1965•. ; They are also planning to
continue the boar premium but
there is some difference here. Th-
ey plan on'paying $10.00 for the
first 20 boarspurchased from Jan-:
uary 1st to July 1stand for the first
20' boars purchased from July 1st
to the endof the year: The big
difference is that they are going to
pay the premium only on boars
„that are from sows that have a,
more of at least 80 under the old
scoring system and 77.98 under the -
new scoring .system and have a
maturity index of 180 days,..
