News of Interest to Huron County Farmers
By GORDON M. GREIG
The eighth annual Field Day
of Huron County Fedei’ation is
xiow history. Once again we have
been privileged to be host to the
farm people and urban residents
of Huroxx County in a day of
sports and fellowship. Though
the crowd was not as large as
anticipated, it nevertheless made
up for what it lacked iix num
bers by its willingness to enter
into the spirit of the day.
Dr. E. C. Hope gave a very
timely talk on the margarine
question and its wide reaching
effect on our dairy industry,
The childreix and young people
entered into the sports events
with a will to win and they pro
vided lively competition in all
track and field events. The soft-
ball games grew better as the
day progressed, with the Clifford
Imperials (girls’ team) giving a
classy performance to shut out
the W.O.A.A. All Stars by a
score of 8-0. The Clinton Junior
Farixxers took home the new
Federation Trophy as they de
feated Belgrave' Junior Farmers
in the final game, to wind up
the Junioi' Farmers’ softball
tournament.
There was a good display of
farm machinery and motor cars
as well as other farm equipment.
This always attracts a lot of at
tention. The old-time fiddlers’
contest and square dance conx-
petitioxx held the attention of
the crowd for its entire perform
ance.
The grand climax of the day
came with the running horse
x’aces by both boys and girls.
They provided thrilling races in
all four heats.
The old-time . dance at the
Goderich Pavilion was well at
tended and provided a suitable
finale to a successful day.

Hi H! * *
The Dairy Farmers of Canada
campaign to raise funds for ad
vertising dairy products is pro
gressing favourably. Very tew
farmers have actually refused to
go aloixg with the idea of de
ducting 1 cent per pound of
butterfat produced in the month
of June to be used, for advertis
ing daii'y products such as but
ter, milk, cheese and ice cream.
As was to foe expected some
farmers refused to contribute
their share. If everyone had
paid up without a kick we would
think something was wrong. It
has always been a farmers’
privilege to disagree with any
commodity group if he so de
sires. That is democracy at its
best.
While on the subject of dairy
products we hear a lot about a
none-dairy product being used by
farmers who sell theix- cream to
the creamery and take home a
conglomeration of vegetable oils
to be used by their own family
in place of butter. The cream
producers’ organization in Huron
County is making a canvass of
the entire farm area to try to
get accurate figures oxx how
many people are actually using’
a substitute fox* butter. This is
a general, canvass and xxo per
sonal record is being kept, so
when the canvasser calls at your
home give him an accurate state
ment.
