Eighteen of the 25 Huron steer calves placed in the top groups of the three divisions. Five of these were selected for the cham­ pionship judging. This record is impressive in view of the large size of the class. Over 200 were entered from all over Ontario. Exeter and Zurich club members were in the championship judg­ ing. Selected from the Hereford group were Keith Coates, of Cen­ tralia, and Edgar Willett, of Zur­ ich, along with Joanne McCul­ lough, of Bayfield. Robert Kins­ men, of Kippen, and Murray ■Gaunt, of Lucknow, were select­ ed in the Shorthorn division. For the Guineas competition, one of the highlights of the in­ ternational fair, the calves are divided into three classes of Herefords, Shorthorns and Angus. Each of these divisions is broken down into three groups; from the top group, eight are selected for the champion and reserve cham­ pion awards. Placing in the top group of the Shorthorns, besides Robert Kins­ men, were Murray Dawson, R.R. 1, Hensail, and Berne McKinley, of R.R. 1, Zurich, whose calf sold for the second highest price of the Guineas auction. Hugh Rundle, of R.R. 3, Ex­ eter; and two Kirkton 4-H mem­ bers, G dr aid Wallis (Huron County champion) and Donald Pullen, of R.R. 1, Granton, placed in the first prize group of the Angus. Allan IJoggarth, of R.R. 1, Kip­ pen, winner of the Exeter club honors, placed in ttlie second- prize group of Herefords. The results were outstanding for Zurich, Kirkton and Exeter clubs. Zurich and Kirkton, which each sent two entries, placed both in the first prize group. Exeter entered five members, one of the largest of any club, and secured four first prize winners. The auction price received by Berne McKinley was one of the surprises of the class: it was more than the Reserve Champion re­ ceived, Katherine Merry, of Oak­ ville, whose "Louis” won the Guineas, received $1.65 a pound from T. Eaton and Co. but the price dropped down to 26 for the Reserve Champion, another Short­ horn owned by Alan Goetz, Mild- may. While most of the 4-I-I’ers were disappointed at the auction prices, which ranged from 24 to 29 cents, Berne McKinley was happy with his <31. Assistaift agricultural repre­ sentative Harold Baker, who is in charge of county 4-H work, ex­ pressed pleasure about the ex- i cellent showing of the county members.

DID YOU KNOW One thousand hens make 70 tons of manure during the laying year, not counting the litter, which contains 1,400 pounds of nitrogen, 1,400 pounds of phos- pherous and TOO pounds of pot­ ash. This estimate is based on the assumption that one-third of the nitrogen will have been lost in the form of ammonia. (Scattering 20 percent super­ phospate or hydrated lime at rate of 15 pounds daily per 1,000 ■birds will reduce this nitrogen loss materially. THIS WEEK Kill lice.
