liagen, Brussels, won top award,
George Bacon, Blyth, who won second place in the competition
at the Blyth fall fair, was present
ed with a cheque from the Blyth
Fall Fair Board,
Mr. Sturdy encouraged" the
members to keep trying harder,
so that they will come back next
year in top place.
Said President Lobb: “The 4-H
Swine Club project is wonderful
and it means so much to these
young people. Their parents, too,
deserve credit for it all means
considerable work at home.”
G. W. Montgomery, agricultur
al representative for I-I u r o n
county, said that the 4-H Club
program was one to be proud of
and that it was a credit to the
club leaders, several of whom are
county hog producers.
There are six 4-H swine clubs
this year with 60 of the 69 mem
bers—or 87 percent—completing
the projects.”
Achievement Day Dec. 3
He invited all to attend
annual achievement night -on
cember 3 in the South Huron Dis
trict High School, Exeter, when
complete results of the 4-II Club
projects will be given.
A report on a survey taken
three times within the past year
by Orval Taylor, Belgrave, a past
president, Harry Sturdy, Auburn,
and William Young, of Brussels,
secretary-treasurer, was given by
O. Taylor, The survey indicated
there • are fewer hogs in Huron
county at the present time than
last year.
Said Mr. Taylor; “It is we pro
ducers who spoil the market by
flooding it. Consumption regu
lates our price.”
Eldred Aiken, of Owen Sound,
chairman of the marketing board
for Ontario, gave the gathering
an insight of some of the difficul
ties encountered in the Sales
Agency, which he termed as hav
ing done a good job, "with still a
lot to do.”
He requested the hog produc
ers to go-out on a “quality-im
portant” program, although he
felt it would be useless because of
the lack of differential between
Grade A and Grade B hogs to
make it worthwhile, Mr. Aiken,
who is also the zone representa
tive on the marketing board for
Grey, Bruce and Huron counties,
said that the Canadian Federation
of Agriculture has suggested that
weight of Grade A hogs be lower
ed five pounds, from 140 to 135
pounds. The processors, he said,
feel that there will be more Grade
A’s from this category.
Bob Allen Speaks
Introduced by G. W. Montgom
ery, Bob Allan, of Brucefield, who
this summer spent some 10 weeks
in Great Britain, as one of the
four Ontario Junior Farmer dele
gates on an exchange visit, show
ed slides and spoke on his trip.
Prior to his comments, Mr. Al
lan offered a challenge to the 4-
H Club young boys and the one
girl present, to carry on with
their club work, to produce the
best in junior farmer and senior
organizations, and to have as
their goal a trip such as he has
experienced.
One year, in spite of having
office in 10 organizations, Bob
completed all his farm work with
out interference and he proudly
stated he never regretted it. “In
the time I spent away from home,
I gained valuable experience.” 1-Ie
left Huron county in the middle
of May, and arrived home the
end of July and his party includ
ed three Junior Farmers from
Perth, Wentworth and Prince Ed
ward counties.
He told how they sailed on the
Empire of Scotland, first class
rate, and of the seven-course,
three times each day. The return
trip was made by air. By use of

in a different county each year
and which takes a half-year to

the Queen's farm at Windsor,
which covers 172 acres of tents.
A vote of appreciation was ex
tended to Bob by Alvin Rau, of
Zurich, and second vice-president
who also thanked the members of
the Woman’s Association, who
served the turkey dinner and to
Mr. and Mrs. Murray McDowell,
Gordon, Lloyd and Harvey Mc
Dowell, Westfield, who supplied
the entertainment.
President Lobb, commenting on
the survey taken in the county
in the last year, said that its
purpose was to register hog pro
duction.
Huron county is to be congrat
ulated for its accurate report, he
said.
"We have to remember that
this organization was set up in
wartime, When oui* problems in
cluded producing six million
pounds of pork to ship overseas,
However, we mtist make the best
of what we are doing, but the
set-up, I feel will never be right
until it is all on a national level,”
said Mr. Lobb.

is cheap advertising and good
publicity foi’ both men.
But what about advertising
and publicity at the grassroot
level? Many of us are not to
well aware of the value of ad
vertising. Of. course, we run
a small want ad if we have
something to sell, but the rest
of the time we forget about
advertising our products. Pub
licity is something many of us
avoid. Maybe we are hiding our
light under a bushel, who knows?
The worst of it is we carry
this reticence from our homes
and business into our farm organ
izations. It isn’t known as ret
icence, then it becomes poor
public relations. And good public
relations are the backbone of any
business organization. You may
have attended many business
meetings of different farm or
ganizations where the attendance
was pitiable. Why? Lack of In
terest! What is the reason for
this “lack of interest”. (1) Poor
public relations. (2) Poor adver
tising.

and indifference.
For example we noticed an ed
itorial in this weekly where the
editor apologized to a 4H mem

had topped the Beef Judging
Competition at the C.N.E. Who
was to blame? That is hard to
say. It could have been avoided
by a note or phone call to the
office by the press reporter of
his club.

are all members. So far as we
can ascertain the only members’
meeting held in the past 12
months was the annual meeting.
At tills meeting they elected an
executive—a full slate of officers.
Have there been any township
federation activities? None that
were released for publication.
What medium of public relations
did the organization use? “The
Whisper”?
The lack of press reports and
news items of both senior and
junior farm organizations in this
area has bothered us for some
time. So much that we asked
Don about it a couple of weeks
ago. He said it’s been bothering
him also. He'd be only too glad
to print reports of meetings if
they were sent in. In many cases
he’d be only too glad to attend
meetings if he were invited.
That’s the newspaper’s side of
the story and believe me it’s true
not only here but throughout
Ontario and may we suggest that
one way of carrying out a good
public relations programme for
your farm organization would be
through your local weekly news
paper. Maybe it doesn't carry
