OUR ACREAGE IS LIMITED A new record price foi* seed grain in Huron county was set Saturday afternoon when $1? was paid for the champion bushel of oafs that had been shown at the 1951 Huron Seed Fail* by Harry Strang, R.R, 1, Hensall. The $12 bid, made by OrvaJ Taylor, Belgrave, was well above the $7.50 figure that had been the high price at Middlesex Seed Fair, earlier in the week. Auctioning by Edward Elliott, Clinton, of prize-winning seed grain was the last event of a two-day seed fair, sponsored by the Huron Crop Improvement Association, which attracted the largest number of entries and the greatest crowd of spectators in the history ol' the yearly event. Robert P, Allan, Brucefield, was the biggest winner of the 1951 show, taking special prizes for the best bushel of turnips, the best half-bushel of timothy, the most points in seed grain classes, and second place in the senior seed judging competi­ tion.

The Nom­ inating Committee, consisting of Helen Hodgert, Marion Cann, and Vilola Hunkin presented the following slate of officers who were elected by the Institute members. Past president, Lucille Boyce; president, Delores Allison; first vice-president, Katlieleen May; second vice-president, Clarisse Lynn; secretary-treasurer, Don­ na Bowden; Directors, Agnes Bray, Katlieleen Johns, Annie Elford; Emergency Fund Com­ mittee, Alma Sillery, Bessie Johns, Helen Shapton; District Director, Margaret Coates; pian­ ist, Jean Hodgert. The roll call for the evening was an answer to the question, “How is personality expressed”. The topic for th? evening was entitled, “What are you like?”. It was an interesting presenta­ tion, divided into four parts, “Feeling your best”, given by Helen Shapton, presented the “in­ side story” of the effect of daily food on health and general wel­ fare. “Looking your best”, the second part of the topic was cleverly written by one of our stylists. Betty Allison. A demon­ stration of “Posture” comprised the third section. It was given by Shirley Boyce, and was ac­ companied by amusing but quite explanatory silouette sketches. Mary Kinsman presented the fourth part of the topic entitled, “Getting along with other peop­ le,” somthing very neccessary to' one’s social security. The retiring executive are pre­ pared to purchase a box of as­ pirin for the new executive—but seriously we wish them every success.

Need More Elite Growers Prof. Keegan explained differ­ ences in requirements for foundation seed, elite stock seed, registered and commercial grades of seed. There is a shortage in Ontario, he noted, of elite stock growers; new varieties could be multiplied more readily, said Prof. Keegan, if there were 20 elite growers in the province, in­ stead of two or three, to whom foundation stock could be dis­ tributed for multiplication..
