Clinton News-Record, 1958-01-30, Page 7laws of Goderich Township Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association "WHERE- BETTER BULLS ARE USED" King o1 all Honour List Sires With ten daughters in the honour list in 1957, Milestone has more daughters in the honour list than any hull has ever bad in one year. This achievement is magnified by the fact that for 1956 Milestone was also the leading honour list sire with seven daughters on the list to equal his great-grandsire, Montvic Pathfinder, who held the record previously. He had seven honour list daughters in 1941. Glenafton Milestone has every right to be a PROUD SIRE. This is simply proof that offspring of our bulls can win their share of honours when given equal opportunity. Our congratulations to the owners of honour list daughters of our bulls. They have made this record possible.

Carl Hemingway) Most of us .older farmers, who had a part in the organizing of , the Federation of Agriculture, re- member the steps that were fol- lowed in its organization and know how it is controlled. Over 2.0 years have passed by since then and there is now a large number of young farmers who are a little confused by the multiple parts of this fanzi organization. The basic unit is the township unit of the Federation of Agricul- ture. Here every termer who pays his fee, is eligible to. vote and hold office in the township unit. He is also eligible to be elected Township Director to represent his township at the County level. 'In the same way he is eligible to be elected County representa- tive to the Ontario Federation and similarly to the Canadian Federa- tion. This part of the organization is elected and our representation, is very much the same as our Ontar- io Government. However there are affiliated groups represented in our township, county, provinc- ial, and dominion organizations. In this way Women's Institutes, Ca-operative Insurance, Local Co- Ops, United Co-Operatives, .and Producer Commodity groups are all represented and have a part in shaping the policy of the Federa- tion of Agriculture. Perhaps the farmer failed to elect his choice as township direc- tor to the County. rf he is a hog producer he has the opportunity of electing his choice through that organization or through any other of the affiliated groups to which he belongs. If you, are a. Liberal you will realize that you have had practi- ally no influence in directing the Ontario Government for many years. If you are a Conservative you will probably. remember the 22 years that you were the for- gotten, man in Canada. In the Federation .of Agricul, ture you can be represented through so many groups that it is hardly likely that any farmer 1,7,1•111 be in the minority in every organ- ization. Further, these elected representatives are all as actively engaged ih farming as duty to their organization permits, It Seems to me that the of Agriculture is one of the best examples of Democracy in action, Is Your Subscription Paid?
