GREIG Cattle rustling lias started up The Huron County Federation asain in Huron County — this time during the months when cattle are stabled for winter.of Agriculture executive wish to I extend to all Huron County farmers a wish for a happy and prosperous 1952. The year 1951 has been a fairly successful year from the farmer’s point of view. Until the drop took place in the price of hogs and poultry products, farm­ ers were experiencing one of our better years financially. The sharp drop in pork prices and poultry prices is a recurrence of the experience we had in the fall of 1949, and if we do not take some action it will recall’ again during the fall production season. Pork prices are moving up slowly and may soon reach a price where it will permit the farmer to receive at least his cost of production. Egg production for the year 1951 was only 16,000 cases over the 1950 production year. The year 1950, you recall, was one in which large imports of eggs were made to fill the demand. There is no surplus production in the egg market; it is simply a case of poor distribution. When hatcheries start drawing from the supply to fill the hea­ vy demand for spring chicks there should be a strengthening of the egg market. An increase in the number of early chicks would certainly help to improve the distribution of eggs over a longer period and would help to avoid the sharp price drop that we experience in the late fall and early winter. Over production has spoiled the price on the broiler market at the present dime. This is one section of the poultry industry that could become very unstable due to the short time it takes to get into the broiler business and out again. SAINTSBURY The laymen of the Anglican Church of the Deanery of Perth met _ in the parish hall of St. Patrick’s Church on Friday eve­ ning. The ladies of St. Patrick’s served a ham supper and speak­ ers were present from Stratford, St. Marys, Mitchell, Kirkton and Granton. The next meeting will be held in St. Thomas Church, Granton, the first Monday in February. Personal Items Visitors for the New Year holiday in this community were: Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

Reports would indicate that farmers are not reporting thefts promptly and in some cases not reporting thefts at all. We can­ not be critical of our police authorities if we do not give them a fair chance by reporting missing animals as soon as dis­ covered. Perhaps the night pat­ rol of the Provincial Police could do a lot to check these thefts if they would check on some of the pick-up trucks that travel the roads at very unusual hours. We have heard of several such cases where trucks were chased from farm yards where poultry flocks were out on range. Per­ haps these unscrupulous people are now in the drover business as it is considered much better than the poultry business at the present time. Cattle rustling in the past has been a very serious crime. In many recent cases the sentence handed out has shown that some leniency has been given to peo­ ple who have been apprehended in the act of stealing from un­ protected farms. If farmers are going to have to lock their cat­ tle barns and road gates every night it will eventually lead to increased costs to the consumer. Cubs - Guides Just For Howls I rpally didn’t have a chance to say much about the Christ­ mas party (they tell me there wasn't room,, in the paper and I did miss the guide news too), I saved my Christmas nut that you left for my Grandmother’s Christmas present and she says "Thanks”. About tne meeting on Monday night, it seems as if you aren’t getting ahead very fast and there are lots of tests to pass. Akela has suggested that every-, one bring a pencil next week and take down the tests you can do at home to bring to the meeting. That way some of you will be able to get,well into second star tests. This month there will be a surprise check on all uniforms. You should have your necker­ chief clean every meeting and it should be folded so that it has about eight inches showing at the back. Shoes must be clean and if you have a hole in your socks, try mending them your­ self for your homemaker badge. Here are some of the tests you can work on at home: Somer­ sault, Leapfrog and Hopping, Ball Throwing, Skipping, Book Balancing, Telling Time, Sav­ ing’s Bank, Model, Cleaning Boots, Folding Clothes. —See you next week at a much quieter meeting. Gus l- * if! * * Guide Talk I hope there weren’t too many towns-folk around the Legion Hall Monday- night. They might get a bad impression of Girl Guides. Yes it happened again didn’t it girls? But please don’t blame Captain. She too would appreciate knowing when there is another meeting at the hall. Did we hear complaints? Guides aren’t supposed to com­ plain but on the other hand some complaints are justified this time. We do work on our tests at home, take pride in our uniforms for each meeting and when we arrive at the meeting, the routine we follow isn’t just games and songs, it lias usually been planned long before hand, sometimes a week or longer. So as you can see if we miss a meet­ ing it is more than just a slight interruption in our schedule. We don’t have a chip on our shoulder, we don’t mind missing the occasional meeting but we would like to know before we get all ready and down to the. hall. "Smiling and singing under all difficulties” and the words of our founder "Work with an eag­ er will, think kindness in your heart” are two mottos we try to live up to. These things we remember and in so doing, we hope that we can be remembered. The First Exeter Guides Today no one works for nothing so why should the farmer? In a press release from the Dairy Farmers of Canada we find a few interesting figures on the price of butter in several countries ill the northern hemis­ phere. "Recent figures on the price of butter, compiled in Britain, show that the Canadian price is above average. In Belgium the price is about 82 cents per pound; in France 75 cents per pound; in United States, 72 cents; and in Canada, 68 cents. The German price is about the same as Canada. Of the coun­ tries listed oply in Denmark, the Irish Republic, and the United Kingdom are the prices lower than in Canada.” BIRTHS GREB—To Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Greb, of Dashwood, on Satur­ day, January 5, 19 52, a daugh­ ter, Pauline Ruth, at the Hoo­ per pursing Home; a sister for Dorothy.
