Usborne Pioneer
Another, one of the pioneers of
Usborne Township, Joshua Johns,
county farm operations, since a
new system of bookkeeping was
set up to separate farm accounts
from Home accounts. Nelson Tre-
wartha, deputy reeve of Clinton,
and a veteran county councilor,
observed that it was the most
complete report in his experience
of county home management,
Revenues of the county farm,
the report showed, included $6,229
from the sale of milk, $5,899 from
hogs, $1,480 from sale of cattle,
$1.104 from eggs, :and $892 from
sale 9f poultry. On the other side
of the ledger, wages took $3,649,
purchases of hogs took $2,181,
fertilizers and seeds cost $1,497,
and gasoline and oil cost $1,047.
The feed bills included $1,531 for
poultry feed, $1,007 for cattle
feed, and $451 for hog ,feed.
The operations of the county
farm, as itemized onthe financial
report, and comparable with
those of `a typical family farm,
except that the county farm pays
no municipal taxes.
The financial report was re-
ceived with attention by county
councilors, some of them have
expressed curiosity in recent
years as to whether the county
farm, considered separately from
the home for the aged, was mak-
ing money or losing money.
Praise for the work of the
superintendent was voiced by
Burton Stanley, reeve of Clinton.
"I think Huron County is very
fortunate in having a man can-
able of handling this job," said
Reeve Stanley.
The. number of inmates at the
Huron County Home increased
during 1956, Mr. Johnston report-
ed; during the year there were
24 admitted, and 16 deaths: at
Agriculture, the Farmers'. Union, and the Seaforth Women's In, stitute had all asked for fox, bounty increases, with rates from
$2.00 to $5.00 being suggested.
