HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1957-03-07, Page 9Huron County /Farmers held a
very successful Seed Fair on Mar-
ch 1-2, in Clinton. A good display
of grains and small seeds were
shown. The number of entries
was down but considering the very
bad harvest season of 1„956 both
the number and quality of entries
was good.'
There were interesting talks on
the production of crops and meth-
ods of• handling them, There was
considerable emphasis on effic-
ient production to increase -yields.
This ,leads me to wonder about
this question of efficiency of farm-
ers. ,Perhaps I don't understand
the meaning of this word but it
seems to me 'that farmers are do-
ing a pretty' good job when one
farmer bow feeds 20 people in-
stead of the six he was able to
feed a few years ago.
I am convinced that farmers to-
day are remarkably efficient as
-far as it is financially possible.
There isn't much incentive to pro-
duce two blades `of' grass in place
of one if it is going to take three
blades to be worth what' the one
was.lorrnerly. 'Why produce TOO
bushels to the acre at a loss if
You can lose just as Much on a
50 'bushel crop' with .a. lot Tess
work?
This I, know 'is a pessimistic at-
titude but r think there is a cure:
'['he r, most neglected machine on
the farm today is the marketing
machine. This` is the farmers'
'greatest -need. Considerable has
been done in this department as
there are 18-"different marketing
schemes at wor•L'V',Ontario. They
are doing good work in their dif-
ferent fields but there is a great'
deal to be done yet.

The co-operatives are develop-
ing steadily, It might surprise
you to know that United Co,;oper-
atives are the second largest feed
dealer in Canada. Local Co-ops
are doing a much larger business
in feed, fertilizer and eggs than
we realize.
The Clinton Credit. Union has
had the most rapid growth of any
rural Credit Union in Ontario, and
now has assets"--totalling some,
084,000.
All these successes have been
actorhplished by people covoperat-
lag to gain the things they desired.
Fanners can co-operate with each
other to produce better crops and
better livestOck and also co-oper-
ate to Market these products.'
These things go hand-in-hand and
can be accomplished if we so de-
sire-it is -up to us.
