New Spirit, Enthusiasm Pervades
Ausable Authority Meeting
There’s a new and vigorous
spirit in the Ausable Valley
Conservation Authority—a spirit
that led to an enthusiastic re
organization in Parkhill Thurs
day afternoon.
Led by A. H. Richardson, of
the Provincial Department of
planning and Development, and
Andrew Dixon, Exeter represen
tative, who were impatient to
“get the ball rolling”, the au
thority divided its members in
to six advisory boards to study
and promote all phases of con
servation in the area through
which the Ausable river runs'.
Fifteen of the Authority’s 23
members were present at the
nieetjng. Victor Fuller, Bosan-
que£ was chairman until J. A.
Morrison of East Williams was
elected to head the Authority

Shur-Gain Hog Feeds

Animal Protein Factor, recently developed, helps hogs
make better use of their feed. When A.P.F. is supplied, hogs
can convert grain and concentrate into meat more readily.
This lowers the cost of producing a pound of pork.

It has always been the objective of SHUR-GAIN Feed Ser
vice to get the best quality feed into the farmer’s barn at
the lowest possible cost. The use of A.P.F. Supplement in
SHUR-GAIN hog feeds along with tankage, meat meal, and
numerous other ingredients is another step in that direction.

Authority will 'branch out
many iphases of conservation to
1 implement the recommendations
made in the 1948 Report.
A study of dams and preven
tative measures throughout the
watershed will be made* by the
flood control board under Wil
liam Haugh of Hay.
Development of recreational
areas at Rock Glen, Arkona, and
the pinery were suggested. A
committee under C. W. Janes,
M. L. A. of Warwick will investi
gate these possibilities.
Reforestation, an important fa
cet of conservation, will be
handled by the committee head
ed by Wellington Brock, Us
borne. The reforestation scheme
instigated by Mr. Brock’s town
ship drew considerable comment
from the members.
Assistance for farms ponds
and farm planning was suggest
ed by Mr. Richardson. Joseph
Bryan, of Biddulph is head of
this committee.
Oliver Amos, Parkhill; secre
tary-treasurer of the Authority
since its formation, resigned be
cause of husiness pressure. The
executive was given authority to
appoint a new secretary.
Public Meeting
The members gave the public
relations committee permission to
hold a public meeting soon to
distribute some 3,000 summary
reports on the watershed.
Freeman Hodgins, chairman of
the committee, indicated Watson
Porter, editor of the Farmer's
Advocate, would be one of the
main speakers. The meeting will
likely be held in Lucan during
June. “You’ve got to get the
people interested in what you
are doing, to get their support,”
Mr. Richardson said.
Money Trouble
There was some disagreement
as to how much money the pro
vince would grant on last year’s
expenditures. Authority members
were certain they had not used
the limited amount by the de
partment. However, Mr. Richard
son said that a department ac
countant had stated they were
some $500 overdrawn already.
“Our accountant may be mis
taken,” he said, “but if he isn’t
you’ll have to raise the money
somewhere.”
He also intimated that con
servation grants would be much
lower this year and that the
Authority should get its esti
mates in SOon.
He asked that the committees
meet within two weeks and draw
up their budgets.

corner.
Better Shooting Counts
