Doig, four-time winner of the Gait Country Club's one- day tourney which is held in July each year, won by a shot over Johnny Johnston of Vancouver. It was the first Victor titls, for Dolg. Doig shot one-under par 70 Saturday and closed with an even par 71. lie made a five- foot putt on the 18th green for the victory.

"Actually they've never been able to improve much on this design. Victoria County farmers are talking about the gains their cattle are making on the community pasture in Eldon Township near Hartley, and what they are saying adds` up to an expected new high in the pasture's use for the 1972 grazing season. The Victoria County pasture is one of eight community pasture , farms established through the use of Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Administration funds in Ontario. These farms, were intended to supply a de-, pendable source -of pasture for beef and dairy farmers whose farms were not large enough to accommodate the number of animals required to produce a desirable'income level. The 2,150 acres of land now making up the Victoria County ARDA pasture is not yet fully developed, but it provided good pasture in 1971 for 322 heifers and 238 steers from 50 nearby farms. The steers gained an average of 251 pounds, while the heifers gained 210 pounds. Lloyd G. Bell, R.R. 4, Omemee ' had the top gaining group of steers. His 12 head of crossbred herefords gained an average of 353 pounds at a cost of only 10 cents a pound. The difference between what the gain cost him, arid what he can sell it for, will pay his taxes, Mr. Bell claims. "The pasture worked perfectly for me. I needed more pasture for the steers so I could grown corn at home to finish them. It sure is great to be able to forget about them all summer and get a gain like thati" Another ARDA pasture user is Bert Vandenberg, R.R. #2 , Oakwood. He is one Of several dairymen using - the Victoria County farm as a reliable source of summer feed for good pure- bred as well 'as grade heifers. The Vandenberg herd pro- duces quota milk as well as sur- plus livestock for sale. • It is important to-have the young stock well grown and it is more im- portant to have full control over freshening dates. Vandenberg Seaforth Greens saw the largest turnout in years on Mon- day, Sept. 4th; at the mixed pairs watch tournament. 'Under sunny- skies the after- noon program got under way with all taking part in a spider, the proceeds of which will be sent, to the benevolent fund. Winner of the spider was Mrs. Beth Sh- elton of Woodstock. Taking first place in the tournament and receiving watches were George and Jean Fuller of Ingersoll with 3w plus 22 agg. 52. Also winning watches and being a close second were Huron and Jean Wintermute of Aylmer with 3w plus 19 agg.54. 3rd - Jack and Janet McIntosh of Woostock with 3w plus 15, agg. 43; 4th Bert and Jean Gray of Clinton with 3w plus 11 agg. 47; 5th Larry and Janet McLellan, St. Marys with 2w tn- s 28 agg. 54; 6th Fred and Bet illey of Seaforth with 2w plus .22 agg. 52; 7th Bert and Rosamond Garrett' ofClinton with 2w plus 22 agg. 43; 8th Ralph and Ruth Adam Ingersoll, with 2w plus 21 agg. 47.

Marie and Jack Muir try to count up the score at the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club on Monday as they took part in the club's successful Invitation Watch Tournament. (Staff Photo) Seaforth Industrial league begins playoff schedule g,ets both from the ARDA farm. Renovated • trefoil pasture spp- plies the protein for growth; good fences, constantly super- vised by the farm manager, assure the .consignors that their heifers will be 'ready for breed- ing "when they come 'home in NOvember. • Vandenberg's 12 heifers gained only an average of 141 pounds during the summer but he attribUtes " this partly to the fact that his young stock were in a warm barn all winter and received a little more feed than the average heifer, and partly to (the fact that the late date of the roundup resulted in a loss in weight. The weight was quick- ly recovered once the heifers, were brought home. Vandenberg has used the ARDA pasture farm for the past two years. He commented, "The heifers I pastured in 1970 are freshening now. They are well grown and I. expect them to help me increase my herd average next year It was a pleasure to visit the pasture farm's on Sun- day ,afternoons, to ,see the heifers doing well, and know that they are getting all the mineral they need. I plan to continue to use the ARDA farm." Vandenberg's herd averages Just over 13,500 pounds of milk per cow. John Louden, R.R. #1, Lind- say, has been a member of. the Victoria County pasture comm- ittee since 1966 and he has been using the pasture. for steers or heifers.

Here's bin' story: Mr. Louden's first consign- ments were made in 1966, when the charges for pasture were flat rates., When in 1968 a weigh scale was installed at the pasture farm, he was well pleased with the average gain of 236 pounds made by his group of cross- bred steers. The next year he switched to heifers. Much to his dis- appointment, their average gains were only 181 pounds in 1969 'and 193• pounds in 1970. Some serious thinking resulted in a change of herd sire, even though he was a tested sire with a rate' of gain of 2.6 pounds per day. With a little more money Mr. Louden bought another Here- ford bull, one with a better gain-- 3.4 pounds per day. The new bull's first crop of calves went to pasture last summer and they came up with an average gain of 307 pounds over the season. A vast im- provement! Mr. Louden's comment: "Without access to a weigh scale, I would probably still be using a poor sire, without realizing that faster gains could be made by offspring from faster gaining sires.- The herd sire change is making me money. I'm serious- ly considering getting a. portable scale to be able to check on my calves, even though I• intend to keep uying the best bull I can `get." . ibly for an even bigger tourn- ament next year as several en- tries had to be turned down this year. The ladies-of the club aerved lunch between the first and second games which all enjoyed. Last Thursday evening saw a good turnout at the jitney, winn- ers were for the ladies Betty Tilley with 2w plus 15 with Katie Phillips second with 2w plus 14. For the men it was, first George Hildebrand with 2w plus 20 with Hugh Thompson second with 2w plus 3. Thursday evening last week saw Jack and Donna Patterson take 1st prize at St. Marys at their electrical tournament. Several ladies from our club hope to go to Goderich on Wed- nesday to their ladies tournament There will also be a Men's doubles in Mitchell the same day. Coming up on Thursday even= ing will be our own local tourna- ment bowling for the Soole trophy. Please have your name in by seven o'clock so a draw can be made ready.
