Huron Holsteins Among The Best
Attesting to the claim that Huron County Holsteins are among the best in
the world is the fact they are always among the top winners in various breed
shows. This photo shows the Huron County herd which placed second at the
Western Fair in London. This show attracts top cattle from across the Prov-
ince and from other Provinces as well.

Most of the 46 County Hol-

assisted iii the forrnatior of 4-
H. Calf clubs, but ,curiously
enough the usual pattern was
reeereed in Huron, 'Where a
Holstein Calf Club was formed
early 'in 1939 under the auspices
of ..the -Goderich Agricultural:
Societye the :Heletein Club be-
ing organized :later the same
year to give support to the
work of the Calf Club,
Over the years, the club as

that has been done. Had the
first president, Gordon Bisset,
been able tq forecast at the an-
augural meeting, the progress
of the past qearter century, he
would have been well satisfied,
Unmatched Accord
Unquestionably, a great deal
of credit for the achievements
of the Black and White in
Huron should go to Hume Clut-
ton of Meadow Glade farm,
Goderich. He was the first sec-
retary-treasurer of the club
and still maintains that posi-
tion, a record unmatched by
any other Holstein Club officer
in Canada.
Not -only has Hume been a

ing in 4-H activities. She re-
ceived her provincial honours
in homemaking 'club work and
completed eight agricultural
clubs.
Miss Marshall graduated
from London Teachers' Col-
lege and is now teaching in
Usborne 'Township. Before she
was nominated arrangements
were made With 'the Usborne
School Board for 'her to 'be
given a leave of absence from
teaching in the event that she
should be awarded the scholar-
ship,

Bob Allen, Brucenield, who won
a trip in 1954.

cost of services demanded by
the consumer that has increas-
ed drastically.
The price of fluid milk -would
have to increase about forty
cents per hundred to 'the pro-
ducer for the cost of milk -to
raise the price of a quart by
one cent.
If we turn to meat products
the same is true though at is
much more difficult to pin
point particular costs. How
much , cost is there in putting
up meat in half lb. packages?
How much does curing and pre-
cooking add to what the con-
sumer pays ?
We are told that the label
on a can of tomatoes costs the
consumers more than the :to-
matoes in, the can and that
the plastic bag that ,holds the
carrots costs more than the
carrots.
Tf the consumer wants these
things it is his privilege to de-
mand this kind of service, but,
it seems unfair to state that
the increased "food" costs
caused an increase in the cost
of living index.

Herne Clutton is still keenly
interested in the affairs of the
club, Recently he said, "I be-.
eieve that -breeders' clubs, such
as ours, can be _extremely use=
fel to all dairymen and partic-
ularly to those just :standing by
supplying the sound practical
information that is needed to
make a success of breeding
livestock.
There is always something
new in this field and in my
opinion the herd .evaluation
program recently sponsored by
the club with the assistance of
field/nen, Gordon Bell, is one
of the most educational pro-
jects that we have yet offered
to our members".
Early Herds
One of the notable early
herds in the county was that of
Bisset Bros. at Goderich. This
was a large 'herd and many
outstanding individuals were
bred there, including a cow that
later was Grand Champion at
Michigan State Fair at Detroit.
It is interesting to note thatthe
first picnic sponsored by the
club was held at Bisset Bros.
farm in 1940 with J. J. E. Mc-
Cague, owner of the famous
Glenafton Farms at Allis ton,
as speaker.
A banquet had been :held the
:previous fall with I-Ion. Russell

of Health, as the speaker,

breed only about 40 out of 'the
30,000 animals classified an-
nually in Canada achieving this
rating.
These are the true "glamour
girls" of the breed. Huron has
had its share of such exception-
al individuals. Two have been
bred in the herd of • Thomas
and George Hayden, of Gorrie,
one of them 'becoming a six
Star Brood Cow and the other
having been sold last year for
$6,000. Glen Walden of Luck-
now, also bred an "Excellent"
cow that sold for $2,500 in
1962. At his sale in 1963, Har-
old Badley, of Godeeich, sold
an "Excellent" cow that had
been bred by Willis VanEg-
mond, of Clinton.
Fame Abroad
Carrying the. fame of Huron
abroad was Queenbush Dinah
bred by Walter Woad, Wing-
ham, who was first prize three-
year-old last fall at the Inter-
national Dairy Show -at Chic-
ago for 'her present owner Har-
vey Nelson Son, Union Grove,
Wise.
While the annual Black and
White: Day is the 'high spot of
the season for Holsteins in the
County, yet many honors have
been won by Huron cattle at
the Western Ontario Champ-
ionship Show held in connec-
tion with Western Fair, Lon-
