"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.

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.

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.
