Most of the 46 County Hol- stein. Clubs in Ontario have 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 a whole and 'individual mem here of it have maintained close relationehip with the Calf 010 movement in the County, Not • only has the ,club been concerned with providing guid- ance and suitable calves for Calf Club members, but in •giv- ing its members, .particulariy new breeders of Holstein cattle, a sound knowledge of the pre.C- tical aspects of breeding and developing superior •enimals,.

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 lyres work was also outstand- 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, The last Huron winner was Bob Allen, Brucenield, who won a trip in 1954. 0 A Matter Of Principle ('Continued from Page Four) 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. 0- CLA.SSITJED ADS DR/NG QUICE RESULTS zealous, faithful ,supporter` •of the elgh, hat he has shown .the way by developinga OP herd of In 1949, he was presented with .4 Master Breed- ee• Shield by the Holstein-Fries-, Ian Association Pf Canada, the hegheet honour that a Holstein breeder in Canada Pale achieve.. Previously only3 such awards had been made in the entire country. . Tn his, 'meadow .Grade herd, he developed remarkable family of femalee headed by 'an 4'EXPellent;" cow, Meadow-Glade Mottle Peeen Who had five' ""Very Good" daughters, This was the first such family zrouP in ca4404. 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 T. Kelly, the Ontario Minister of Health, as the speaker, Cows classified "Excellent" for body conformation are few and far between lathe Holstein. 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- don, Although this show -attracts entries from all ten counties ATTENTION FARMERS Contracts to grow cucum- bers for the H.
