There are twelve I dealers in Huron County now handl- i live and dressed poultry and there j are thirteen dealers handling live I poultry. Mr. McLeod reported that a summary of questionnaires sub mitted by 59 junior farmers show ing 6,213 birds on their farms in January of 1932, and 6,674 in Janu ary of this year. There are nine Ontario poultry breeding stations in the county and sixteen baby chick hatcheries. i Looking over the Bureau of Sta tistics’ report for 1931, one- finds that Perth stood eighth -with 828,- 022 head of poultry, valued at $34 L,- 824. Perth had 21,.560 geese, 16, 672 ducks and 1,552 turkeys. Bruce County showed a total number of 660,317, valued at $312,413. Number Increasing The report shows that the number of poultry in the province in 1931 was 23,736,125, valued at $10,729,925. The number has grad ually increased from 1927, when the number was 19,048,0'45. Owing to recent conditions the value of poul try, like other produce, has declined in the past few years, value was in 1929 when the of the province was valued ; 4731,814. It has declined since then. The poultry industry in lias forged itself forward in the past few years, although the real start came back in the late ’90’s when the Dominion Government built an ex perimental breeding station . at Holmesville. Nelson Trewartha, Mayor of Clin ton, now in the poultry business, re called the time when the experiment was made. He stated that the farm ers severely criticized the govern ment at that time for spending so much money in Huron County. F. C Elford was placed in change of the station. Mr. Elford is now located in Ottawa, as Dominion Poultry Husbandman. Incubators were in troduced shortly after and the farm ed,s looked on this type of hatching chicks in a pessimistic maner. The chickens were raised and placed on the market. Those in charge dem onstrated that better prices were se cured when the birds were proper ly fed and-given special attention. Mr. Trewartha pointed out that there are more tons of dressed poul try shipped from Clinton, and district each year than from any other town in the bought tion tive that A into Huron Dominion of Canada.

Eggs, during the war went up to eighty cents per dozen. The price of eggs remained fairly firm until about two years ago when it began to- decline, as- did the prices of other farm produce. There is no better quality of poul try in any centre in the province than in Huron County, said Mr. Mc Leod. The majority or birds were barred rocks and white leghorns. “The flock of chickens on the farm used to be considered the hob by of the farmer’s wife and the children, but of late years the farm er has realized that poultry produces revenue and has paid more attention to his flocks,” said Mr. McLeod. An interesting fact, it was point ed out, is that at the present time poultry is marketed each week whereas in former years, October, November and December were the months when there was much iketing of poultry. mar- I How to Succeed The Millionaire was boasting his friends1 about Ills success in life. “All my success,” said he, “is owing to one thing, pluck.” “Yes,” said one. of the party, "tell us who you plucked.” • to JOHN WARD CHIROPRACTIC, OSTEOPATHY, • ELECTRO-THERAPY & ULTRA- , VIOLET TREATMENTS PHONE 70 MAIN ST., EXETER ARTHUR WEBER LICENSED AUCTIONEER For Huron and Middlesex FARM SALES A SPECIALTY PRICES REASONABLE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Phone 57-13 Dashwood R.
