Urge Committee Study Contract During the busy summer months activities in Huron Coun ty Federation of Agriculture take a back seat while everyone Is primarily interested in haying sand harvesting operations. This year the weather man has pro longed the harvesting to such an extent that it is still impossible to expect a good attendance at a farmers’ gathering t—V. J~ a wet dayOn. Tuesday night, September 19, the directors County Federation unless it is of Huron , _____ _ of Agricul- ture"held their September meet ing with a surprisingly good attendance, Several ' resolutions were on the agenda and were thoroughly discussed. Most important among these were the resolution on feed grains and one on income tax deductions for money spent on tile drains. A tentative date for the an nual meeting was set for Thurs day, November 23. The business’ meeting is to he held in Clinton and the banquet and dance in | Geaforth at night. President Charles Coultes and Mr. Leslie Fortuno went to a meeting in Toronto on Thursday, September 21, at which a thor ough discussion of taxation prob lems took place. One branch of this discussion is of great in terest to farm people in Huron County. For the past few years it has ben felt by rural people that they are paying more than their share of the post of main taining high school areas.. It. is to- be hoped that some action -will be taken by our provincial government to ;see that this is thoroughly investigated and the proper adjustments made. * t The Canadian Federation Agriculture is asking that survey it started last summer, So far only about three percent of the farm people who have re ported in the survey are using a substitute fox' butter. Thanks to a member of cream committee we have in office at Clinton a copy of submission by the Dairy Farmers of Canada on the dairy situation as presented to the meetin. provincial ministers of a„. ture in A,----1 1950.

The Federation of Agriculture has urged the government to set up a committee to make a thor ough study of the economic bal ance as exists the various groups in the national economy so that when controls are imposed, they will be on the most equitable 3)asi$ possible. This would elim inate a trial and error period that made controls so unpopular in 1941. The feed grain issue is still a very live topic. We find the Can- Producfion Depend On Feed Mixture Most poultry flocks today have a good deal of breeding behind them so that low production, where it does occur, probably arises from improper feeding and management. Though the feeding of a good laying mash has been generally accepted, the method in*which it is fed has a great bearing *on production as indicat ed in recent tests at the Dorn-’ inion Experimental Farm at In dian Head. In these tests Reports A. P. Piloski, a grain mixture consist ing of 200 pounds of wheat and 100 pounds each .of barley and oats was fed in conjunction with a laying concentrate in the fol lowing manner; The first group received a mash made up of the grain mixture and concentrate in a ratio 2:1 .which was kept be fore them at all times, and in addition they received a morning and night feeding of the grain mixture, the intake of the grain Bad Weather Fails To Stop Huron County Holstein Show The third straight year of bad weather failed to discourage the Holstein breeders of Huron exhibi-County us twenty-three tors brought out a total of 101 head despite rain and snow that forced them to move the judgin; indoors, stated cattle poorly show with Hardy Senior female was Riven Sue Posch Champion shown by the Huron County Home, Clinton, She was first in the dry Aged Cow class.

The secon<ll group received the grain mixture and concentrate in the ration of 5:1, while the third group had access at all times to the grain inixture and the concentrate ■which was fed in separate troughs. Results as judged, by egg pro duction, showed that the first method of feeding was far sup erior to the other two methods. Production in the first group was 33.9 per cent higher than group three and 51.5 per cent higher than group two. It was also noted that the birds showed a preference for grain over mash. The high intake of grains results in lower egg production and heavy accumulations of ab dominal fat. In extreme .cases this accumulation of fat may be- ; come so heavy as to cause the skin over the abdomen crack These tests show that overfeed ing of scratch grains is not a good practice but the intake of laying mash should be “good if egg production and body weight is to be maintained. Heavy breed pullets being housed in the fall need about 10 pounds of grain per 100 birds per day. This should be increased to 12 pounds in winter and reduced again in the spring. Consumption of mash may be encouraged ,by giving light feeding^ of wet mash oiv pellets when production reaches about 40 per cent and gradually increased as production increases. These feedings are usually given at noon. If wet mash is used it should not be allowed to go sour by laying too long in the troughs. - I birds can minutes. If mash to fall off winter the a 12- or 13-hour day helpful. Having plenty of hopper space is important also. Other wise when the birds get down from the perches in the .morning and are not able to find a place to feed they frequently fill up on litter. This reduces their ef fective intake of nutrients and reduces egg production. . A constant supply of fresh water is an essential to egg production. Allowing the .water pans ! to go dry for only a short time: is enough to cause a moult inj heavily producing pullets. < Red Clover DashwoodPhone 87 or 158 Timothy - Alsike WWRST (Aged Cow at the Western Fail* i and the Reserve Grand Cham pion, the third prize Aged Cow in milk at the same show re cently.
