Aberdeen Angus picnic
held at Triple A Farms
"The biggest and best Angus
picnic we ever had," stated past
president George Earley as he
spoke of the annual Field Day of
the Western Ontario Aberdeen
Angus Association held Sunday,
June 21, at Triple A Farms,
home of Mr. and Mrs, Stewart
Middleton, RR 3, Clinton.
Over 275 persons registered
for the succulent roast beef
dinner, served -in the sylvan
setting of the large grove on the
farm encircled by the new lake
and dam-site.
The heady aroma of the huge
roasts and the skirl of the
bagpipes also added to the
atmosphere of this "bang-up"
picnic.
Several boats were kept in
constant use, and Adam Flowers'
ponies were much in demand tor
youthful riders.
Afternoon late-corners swelled
the number to over 300 persons.
Dr. Clem Reeds of Guelph,
head of the United Breeders
Association, addressed the
crowd on the subject ' Merits of
Cross-Breeding."
"Angus' cattle play a very
important role in the
cross-breeding programme
because of their fleshing ability,
smoothness and quick rate of
gain," stated Dr Reeds.
Don Pullen, Agricultural
Representative for Huron
County, was the second guest
speaker. Don' won the Queen's
Guineas in 1956 with his Angus
steer, which he purchased from
veteran Angus breeder, Otto
Zimmermann, of Kerwood,
present at the picnic.
"Farmers have many troubles
today due to major changes in
the agricultural scene,' Mr.
Pullen stated. "Our role as
extension workers is to help any
farmer, who requires assistance,
to analyse his problem with
respect to crops, livestock, etc.,
and to aid his progress to a more
viable farming operation."
A dutch auction of an Angus
heifer and several keenly
contested junior and senior
judging competitions rounded
out the day's programme.
Classes were supplied by
Colonel Weldon's Prospect
Farms, Arva, and by Stewart
Middleton. Jack Van Egmond,
Clinton, and Mrs. Alex McEwen,
Byron, were the senior winners.
As well as members of the
eight counties of the association,
many local citizens and breeders
of other denominations were
present. All present reported a
very successful effort on the part
of the .Angus folk.

portions stand up more
prominently to the touch than

The design and production of
the new note are based on
research in depth over a period
of years and incorporates
technical refinements from
many sources. These refinements
were selected with a view to
improving the security of the
note and creating the maximum
, difficulty for the would-be
counterfeiter.
The new $20 note will be
To keep a farm operating at
top efficiency, the machinery
used must be in good working
order.
Professor J. R. Scott, School
of Engineering, University of
Guelph, feels that automotive
mechanics can no longer
adequately handle the
maintenance of farm machinery.
As the equipment becomes more
complex, specially trained farm
mechanics are required to service
combines, tractors and other
machines.
To fill this need, the School
of Engineering is offering, for
the third year, an intensive
course designed to train
mechanics in the maintenance of
farm machinery. The course,
