Watson, Ontario live­ stock commissioner, said last week that cattle bred to show* ring standards get as good a re­ ception as commercial cattle in butcher shops. Commercial cattle producers say show winners have too much fat to make good sales. Mr. Watson, addressing an Agricultural Institute, of Canada conference at Toronto, said steers that gain weight fast tend to have a higher percentage of lean be rough and heavy boned to make rapid weight gains, he told the 1,000 delegates. In fact he said, some of the best gains, are made by cattle conforming to show-ring stand­ ards. Fast - gaining steers also made the cheapest gains, requir­ ing less feed. Senator J. A. Godbout told the institute, composed of farmers and interested manufacturers and scientists, that dairymen using artificial insemination should consider carefully the pedigrees ■ of bulls providing sperm. Should Exa:nine Bull The former Quebec premier and agriculture minister said too many farmers tell insemina- tor to “pick me a good bull” in­ stead of examining the bulls and their pedigrees and deciding which is most compatible with their cows. Municipal Affairs Minister Goodfellow of Ontario said one of today’s most serious problems is the spreading of towns and in­ dustries over farmland. During the last 10 years, 20 per cent of the Niagara peninsula’s finest farm land had been swal­ lowed up in development. “Of course we cannot tell a farmer what he can or can’t do with his land, but it is becoming a grave problem,” he said.

Early seeded spring grain is patchy and of poor colour. In between showers, farmers •are busy cultivating corn and beans and spraying late seeded fields of spring grain. Fall wheat is now practically all out in head and indications are for a below average yield. Livestock on the whole are in fair condition with the milk flow about normal for this, season of the year. By MARILYN TUCKEY The Girls’ Conference for 4-H Homemaking Club members was held in Guelph from June 26 to June 29. Seven thousand Ontario club members were represented by 183 girls at the Conference. To be cligiple the girls had to be 16, had to havg county hon­ ours (i.e. completed six clubs successfully) and had to have taken the last club. Seven girls represented Huron county: Donna Toner, Garrie; Jean Smith, Ethel; Yvonne Mc- Taggart, Brussels; Ruth Crozier, Seaforth; Grace Lamont, Ethel; Dorothy Keys, Seaforth; Marilyn Tuckey of the Jolly Jills, Huron­ dale. In the evening of June 26, a “Get Acquainted Barty” was held. On June 27, Miss Eadie, supervisor of junior extension, home economics service, exten­ sion branch, welcomed the girls to the conference. Dr. J. D. Mac Lachlan, president of O.A.C. wel­ comed us to the college. Rev. W. A, Young introduced the conference theme “You and Your Home.” Next Dr. Margaret S. Mc­ Cready, principal of MacDonald Institute greeted us. We were then divided into groups and went on a conducted tour through Macdonald Institute. • After dinner Mr. Ralph Kidd of O.A.C. instr.-cted us in singing. Mr. Kidd led us in music at the beginning of each session throughout the conference. Miss Doris -Baskerville, lec­ turer in MacDonald Institute gave an interesting 1 address “Where Are You Going?” After her speech we took a college bus tour. Besides seeing the buildings at Guelph we went to Arkell to see another farm which belongs to the college. In the evening session Miss Vivian Wilcox, stylist of Chate­laine and Style magazines pre­ sented a fashion show in con­ nection with her topic “You and Fashion,” “You and Your Family’* was the topic of the address by Miss Ethel Chapman, Home Econo­ mics Service, Extension Branch. Thursday morning, we took an active part in group discussions “Your Club and You,” “Your Club and Your Home,” and “Your Club and Your Communi­ ty.” These discussions were fol- lowed by two demonstrations given by four club girls. In the afternoon session Mr. R. A. Sim, chief liaison officer, Canadian Citizenship Branch,, Department of Citizenship and Immigration, Ottawa spoke on “Youth and Citizenship.” his ad­ dress was followed by an active discussion, “What is UNICEF?” was ex­ plained by Miss Mary Carter, executive secretary for the Can­ adian UNICEF. UNICEF means “United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.” Dr, C. D. Graham, deputy min­ ister of Agriculture spoke to us at a banquet given by the De­ partment of Agriculture, He told us how important 4-H club work is and by means of statistics showed us the great increase of members in club work. On Friday morning Miss Eadie reviewed the conference. Then we went to the Horticulture Building. There Miss Louise Ueringa demonstrated floral ar­ rangements and Mr. E. W. Franklin spoke on “Storage and Freezing.” Larger Consumption To Boost Hog Prices? Dairy Clubs Visit Plant On Thursday, June 28, the 4-H dairy calf clubs of Huron County visited Stacey Bros, dairy plant in Mitchell. They saw how butter and powdered milk are made and how milk is bottled for do* mestic use. Mr. Herb Webster, fieldman with the Ontario Milk Producers’ Marketing Board, spoke on the problems of marketing. He said that farmers must make the qual­ ity of their dairy products higher than that of other countries. Cleanliness is very important in the handling of milk. Jim Etherin gton, president of the Exeter club, thanked the speaker and Marjorie Boyd, of the Seaforth club, expressed the appreciation of the 4-H’ers to Mr. Norman Stacey for the op­ portunity of visiting the plant. Mr. Boyd, Seaforth club, was chairman and Art Bolton, ass’t ag rep, led in the business meet­ ing. Afterwards the members sampled some of Stacey’s milk.

A change in production pro­ grams to meet the changing ap­ petite of the Canadian consumer has been recommended in On­ tario Farm Business, a publi­ cation of the Ontario Agricultural College economics department. In the booklet, which outlines the possible short-term economic outlook for Ontario farmers, it is pointed out that consumers are shifting from lower priced ener­ gy foods, such as cereals and potatoes to higher-priced animal products and fruit and vege­ tables. The increased meat consump­ tion has showed in purchases of pork, with 12,000 more pigs per week being consumed than at the same time in 1955. Yet statistics indicate a marketing increase, of only about 3,000 animals per week this fall. While domestic consumption has been on the increase, partly because of lower prices, there has been only a slight increase in stocks. Predict Price Boost For these reasons a stronger hog price is predicted for this fall, after the usual strengthen­ ing of prices during the next few weeks. Seasonal strengthening of beef­ cattle prices is expected in July. The cheese situation • appears to be good, since stocks are down in Canada and New Zealand. Strong prices are expected, with resultant support for the price structure of concentrated milk products. Crop losses in Europe will like­ ly mean good export prospects and better prices for winter wheat, and there will be higher prices for roughages. Since early potato and vegetable crops were reduced by weather, prices will be •higher than usual. Message From Greenway By MRS. CARMEN WOODBURN Pupils From City Hoe Sugar Beets Seventy high school students from Western Ontario cities have been working in sugar beet fields throughout the district during the past week.

The number of pounds of feed required to produce a pound of gain or a dozen eggs or a gallon of milk, and the cost of that feed are the real measures of the worth of a ration. A feed canriot be evaluated in terms of the cost per bag alone.
