Cooperation During tife past year the Fed- j eration of Agriculture has on many occasions met members of municipal councils throughout the county. With very few ex­ ceptions we have received the best cooperation that could ‘be desired. We need the cooperation ot the municipal authorities and in turn we can be of great as­ sistance to them by promoting an active interest in the affairs of the townships and county. Vaccination Campaign While promoting the warble fly campaign I have had many farmers express the desire to have a calfhood vaccination cam­ paign started within the county of Huron. Many farmers have suffered heavy losses through the prevalence of bangs disease in theii' cattle herds. Perhaps you are one of the fortunate farmers that has escaped the loss inflicted by th'is disease, but you are always in danger of having your herd infected while dis­ eased cattle are located within a few rods of your farm. You can make this campaign a real­ ity by presenting yoxir views to your local township Federation of Agriculture or through youi* Farm Forum Group.
