Ag Rep Gerry Montgomery
Pilots Busy Huron Program
(.From “The Beet”)
“J e fry ” Montgomery likes
Huron, County and apparently,
Huron County likes him. In a
short talk with this amiable
youn^ man, the interviewer is
almost certain to get the im
pression that Huron County is
second to none in the province.
Perhaps this is true, for en
thusiasm sparked by the Agri
cultural Representative.
Jerry Montgomery was born in
Carleton County, and spent his
youth on a farm not 20 miles
from Ottawa. His knowledge of
dairy farming stems from his
experience on his father’s dairy
farm. He attended the North
Gore Continuation School, and
Kemptville High School.
In 1943 he graduated from
the Kemptville Agricultural
School, following which he at
tended the Ontario Agricultural
College at Guelph, graduating
with his B.S.A. degree in 1946.
"With his background he natural
ly specialized in Aniamal Hus
bandry. During his summer holi
days, while attending O.A.C. he
was in charge of the grass
experimental plots at South
March, near Ottawa, a project
carried on by the Field Hus
bandry department, Experimen
tal Farms Service.

Upon graduation, Mr. Mont
gomery joined the Agricultural
Representative Service. His first
appointment was as assistant
Agricultural Representative in
Lamb ton County, under the
genial guidance of W. P.
Macdonald. In the spring of
11948, he was appointed Agri
cultural Representative for Has
tings County, a position he held
until June 1, 1949, when he was
appointed Agricultural Repre
sentative for the district of
Nipissing. Living at North Bay,
he had a very extensive territory
to cover. On August 1, 1951, he
was appointed Agricultural Rep
resentative for Huron County.
Typical of the men in the
service, Jerry and his assistant,
John I). Butler, (a 1951 gradu
ate of MacDonald College, Que.),
have a terrific, load to carry in
club work and farming associa
tions. Well over 400 boys and
girls are members in Huron’s 20
clubs of which swine, beef calf
grain, dairy calf, tractor main
tenance and forestry are the
more important. Eight townships
are organized on a local level
of a soil improvement program,
and, according to Jerry, are
making great progress in their
plans to improve the agriculture
on individual farms.
On June 16, the crop improve
ment association held a grass
land day, and according to re
ports, a very successful com
mercial fertilizer results, all
should have been convinced.
Agriculture in the counties of
Ontario is, in general, improving
in its techniques, and cutting
down its waste. The men who
can pilot this program are the
are the Agricultural Representa
tives. We are sure that Huron
County is pleased with its pilot,
Jerry Montgomery.
