To-night a meeting in Goderich will be held to organize- a grain corn club, and the Clinton and Bayfield clubs will meet for organ- ization in the CDCI next Wednes- day evening, March 14. Exeter, Zurich and Hensall clubs will meet on Thursday, March 15, and the 13lyth-Belgrave meeting is, planned for March 13. "Soil and Crop Production" was the topic of the panel discussion that highlighted the Saturday af- ternoon program of the ninth an- nual Seed Fair held in the CDCI auditorium. A large crowd was in attend- ance to hear the panel which was headed by Dr. N. Huntley, head of Department of Field Husband- ry, OAC, Guelph, and had as its members, Prof. Norman J. Thom- as, Department of Soils, OAC; Dr. Jack Roe, Atwood, of the business firm. of Roe Milling Company; William Turnbull, Brussels, farm- er; Alvin Betties, Bayfield, farm- er; Robert Allan, Brucefield, farm- er. To the question "what plant foods are available to the farmers at the present time and which ones should be purchased", Professor Thomas replied that they are all government tested and "what is on the tag is in the bag." He said that there were 50 different mix- tures on the market and he felt that a farmer should get his soils tested and in this way would re- move 50 percent of the guesswork. Prof. Thomas remarked that in this age of conservation and cost price squeeze that the farmer should buy the fertilizer that gives him the most for his money, and supplement the deficiencies in his soils the most. He told of some of the new types of fertilizers in use at the present time in different sections, of Ontario. Alvin Betties, replying to the question "what do you pay your taxes with?", stated that he oper- ates. a 120-acre farm with 100 acres workable. He keeps a herd of 45 Shorthorn cattle and 400 chickens from about March 1. He told of his long term seeding pro- gram whereby he has managed to have his land produce three times the average yield on the 18 acres he uses for pasture. Mr. Betties has used an OAC mix of long term grasses starting in 1945 when he seeded eight acres. This was fol- lowed by seeding four acres n 1949, three in 1950 .and three in 1951. He stated that in the pasture that has been in use for 11 seasons that the alfalfa was almost gone but the clovers were still 'there and that the grass was. heavy. Bill Turnbull operates a 150- acre farm with his chief income coming from hogs. He keeps 24 brood sows (tested) and grows. as much of his own feed as possible. He also has' a herd of purebred Shorthorns. Designated' as a cash crop farm- er, Robert Allan has been growing 20 acres of white beans and 20 acres of corn. He said that he had success with a crop of registered oats. He believes that hogs are the main money maker now. Dr. Huntley pointed out in contrast to some belief that the land was still as productive and possibly even more than it ever has been. Jack Roe stated that he has a forage crop as his cash crop due to the dehydrating plant that he operates. He said that Alfalfa was his main legume and that orchard grass. blends with the alfalfa best for his use. With regards to the problems of soil and crop production, Dr. Mint- ley told the audience that there was a tremendous wealth of in- formation right in. Huron among the farmers themselves. Previous to the panel discussion, special awards' were made to the winners of the competitions. G. W. Montgomery spoke briefly stating that this was the biggest fair yet, with 204 exhibits and 77 exhibitors' taking part. He em- phasized the importance of seeds and said that of 50 seed drill sur- veys conducted last summer in Hu- ron County not one farmer knew the grade of the seed that he was sowing. A. S. Bolton, assistant, agricul- ture representative for Huron, an- nounced the winners of the seed judging contests in which 117 com- petitors were entered. Chairman for the afternoon pro- gram was. Richard Procter, presi- dent of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association. 0 F. of A. Endorses Substitute For Salt On Highways A resolution asking for increas- ed research into securing some material that will replace the use of salt on highways was unani- mously endorsed by the directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meeting in Clinton on Tuesday afternoon. This motion originated with the Hullett Bound- ary Farm Forum. It was mentioned by the chair- man of the resolutions committee, Warren Zurbrigg, Howick Town- ship, that the use of salt on high- ways is costing millions of dollars in damage to automobiles using the highways. The directors made extensive preparation to have a large dele- gation of Huron County farmers in attendance at a marketing meeting being organized in Toron- to by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture for March 13 and 14. The county Federation is sending its entire executive to the meet- ing with each township Federation unit being pledged to send at least one carload. Reports were given on the anual meeting of the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers' Association in Toronto on March 1 and 2 and of a directors meeting of the O.F.A. in Toronto on February 24. VARNA Mr. and Mrs. Lee McConnell have returned home after spend- ing several weeks in Florida. Miss Margaret McClymont and Miss Anne Ostrom, Toronto, spent the weekend at their respective homes. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Webster vis- ited with friends in Toronto last, week. The sympathy of this commun- ity goes out to the Taylor family in their recent bereavement. Farm Forums LIVE WIRE FORM (13y Mrs, 'Bert Shobbrook) The Live Wire Farm Forum held their meeting on Monday night, March 5, at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Leonard Archambault, with 21 .adults present.. The broadcast was listened to and two groups were formed for discussion on topic "Trade and Tariffs." It was decided that there should be tariffs but not high. A low tariff helps to equalize prices' on many commodities. There should be seasoned tariffs on such goods as vegetables. FIRESIDE FORUM (By Mrs. William Ddlmage) The Fireside Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Ben Riley, on Monday evening. After, listening to the broadcast on "Pay- ing far our Health," plans for a party at the end of March were discussed. The forum read the Guide and followed up with the questions dealing with the farm problems. A definite decision on any question could not be reached as' it seemed a controversial and .personal ,pro- blem. Many thought there would be better general health if there were some kind of government health plan. Euchre was played with the winners: high, Mrs, Robert Riley, Don Buchanan; lone hands, Mrs. George Hoggart, Eric Anderson; consolation, Mrs. H. Taylor, Mari- lyn Taylor. 0 Seed Fair Auction Brant Barley Top Sells For $3.00 Bus.
