Huron County turnip growers and processors are planning a commercial turnip exhibit at the Royal Winter Fair. The Soil and Crop Improvement Association of the county is the sponsoring organization. At a special meet- ing, the growers agreed to sup- ply the turnips for the exhibit and the processors decided to make, arrangements to trans- port the exhibit to the Royal and to supply other materials needed, At a meeting of the executive of District 8 Fairs Association, plans were made to hold the annual meeting at Dungannon on Thursday, October 31, in the agricultural hall and the United Church. Chairman for the dis- trict is Sidney Harlowe, of St. Pauls, and the secretary is R. S. Reaney, of Mitchell. , Form Unique Feeder Club A unique type of feeder calf club is being organized in the Belgrave district this year. Objective of the club is to encourage efficient production of beef. Prizes will be given for the most economical gains as well as for the best market cattle.

Now he is giv- ing you a petition to sign and passing around that hat." Mr. Acheson, who was booed and eventually shouted down, said that the association consists of conscientious amen who are hog producers themselves --"not a bunch of shysters as you have been. told here tonight," — and he claimed that in his own dis- trict earlier this year 90 per cent of the producers had voted in its favor. Replying to Mr. Acheson, Mr. Parker told the meeting that the Hog Board was "scared and shaky." All it wanted to do, he said, was to take the farmer down the river and fleece him. Other speakers in support of Mr. Parker who said he is in favor of "voluntary co-opera- tives," charged that the Hog Board "opened the way to "Com- munism" and "that it had no place in a democracy." The meeting,•which ended just before midnight after three hours of argument, was told that there would be a similar protest meet- ing on Wednesday next, Oct. 16, in Arthur. e LOCAL ThADEMAttit,, IT OFTEN SNOWSA FINE COMMAND OF LANGUAGE ?O SAY NOTHING CRAIN1FE.ED•SEED 7, K JIlenwlio 1hTnfmorrau prirdzcs mv�eraiivn fiya the Pouse of Sea9 am ,butillers.3inte T8S7' 1O0 YEARS' Of INtEGRITY CRAflSMANSIiiP & tRAbItlOR Reveal first Results G1# ROP Beef Tests Results et the first year's tests under the P,ecord of Per- formance for Beef Cattle have just been announced by the Canada Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa. in a few weeks about 3,000 calves, or ten times the number recorded in the first test, will be weighed and grad- ed to obtain the initial informa- tion required for the second year's records. Weighing and grading will be done by officials delegated by the provincial de- partments of Agriculture who carry on the project -in their re. spective provinces In co -opera- tion with the federal depart- ment, and the livestock breed- ers. In the recent test, 344 calves were entered -248 Herefords, 50 Angus and 43 Shorthorns. Of these 176 were males and 165 were females. The male calves made an average daily gain from birth to weaning of 1.86 ib. per day, the females 1.68 lb, Comparison of these results was limited to six Hereford herds, all that had sufficient calves entered and reared under conditions suitable to permit ef- fective comparison within the herd. The six herds with a total of 191 calves (94 males and 97 females) indicate the average daily rate of gain that can be expected in beef cattle, first from date of birth to weaning and second from weaning to the end bf the winter feeding per- iod. Average daily gain made by the 94 bull calves was 1.85 pounds per day, from birth to weaning, and by the 97 heifers 1.69 pounds. Thus the bull calves gained on the average one-fifth of a pound more per day than the heifers. But of greater sig- nificance is the difference in average performance, or daily gain, 2.11 lb. for the top third and 1.49 ib. for the bottom third of the calves tested. Average difference between these two groups both in males and fe- males amounted to about two- thirds of a pound per day. In terms of beef production, at prices prevailing when these calves were weaned last fall, this would have meant $22.80 per calf to a commercial cattleman. The variation in rate of gain between individuals within some of these herds was much greater than the average figures indi- cate.In one herd the top calf gained one and one half pounds more than the, bottom •calf. The two calves had the same treat-% meat under ranch conditions. The slow gaining calf was al- most two months older than the best calf but actually weighed nearly 200 pounds less at Wean- ing. Gains In Winter ,Feeding During the winter feeding'per- iod that followed the birh to weaning test, differences be- tween the performance of male and female calves in these same Hereford herds, made it nieces; sary•to consider them separate- ly. The low average daily gains in the heifers would indicate the possibility that they were main- tained on a considerably lower feeding level than the bulls. The bulls had an average daily gain for this periodof 2.Q7 pounds 37 r day.phe heifers gained' only 1,s. In the bull calves records for this second period showed there was again a difference of two- thirds of a. pound per day be- tween the average rate of gain for the top third and the bot- tom third of the calves. For the full feeding period, approxiniate- ly 168 days, the difference in the average weight gained. was 112 pounds, or $20.15 in value en the basis of . $18.00 per cwt. for commercial cattle. Combining the records for both periods, calves that were within the top third at weaning and also in the top third at the end of the feeding period were worth just over $40.00 more per head than those in the bottom third for both periods. Results indicate that there were a con- siderable •num b e r of calves among those making rapid gains at both these stages in their growth. These fast gaining year- lings were worth 25 per cent more than the slower gaining yearlings on a commercial basis. Their value as .potential breeding stock would be greater in pure bred breeder's herds. Research has shown that this valuable trait of rapid gains • is inherited and can ., be transmit- ted to future generations. Simi- larly, studies on rate and cost per pound of gain indicate that these two factors are closely re- lated. Calves with a high rate of gain, in most instances, re- quire less feed to make a pound of gain than those with a low rate of gain. Recognition of the top performing cows, bulls and calves within a herd and de- velopment of a breeding pro- gram around these animals is the aim of Record of Perform- ance. International Contests At Royal Winter Fair With approximately 18,006 'ent- ries of the finest and best horses, livestock and agricul- tural products from many parts of the world to be displayed, the 1957 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Toronto, , to be held November 15 to 23, will be more international in scope than ever before. This was indicated recently by Charles F. W. Burns, president of the Royal, who confirmed that the international jumping competitions alone will attract teams from seven different countries. "Because of the number of entries, . judges, visitors and trophies from different nations, 1957 has been designated as `In - New Scheme —Continued from Page 9 suited on the wording of the ballot. Mr. Cormack told the meeting that the OFU was the first and the only organization to present a brief to the Ontario Hog Producers recommending that they discontinue their contract with the former United Live- stock Sales Limited and that they set up their own selling agency and employ competent personnel to sell hogs. Members of the Huron union want a Federal Royal Commis- sion appointed . to investigate price spreads on agricultural products. They gave unanimous approval to a resolution asking the parent organization, through the Interprovincial Farm Union. Council, to press the Diefenbak- er Government for appointment of the investigating body. It also asked "that the commis onj act with all possible haste." I "We in the Farmers' Union," he said, "are an organization of actual producing farmers. Our organization is financed entirely by membership dues. We can go before any group or any govern- ment with no strings attached and can make any request or demand without fear or favor." OFU Achievement In outlining several, important achievements made by the OFU in the past year. Mr. Cormack claimed that it was instrumen- tal in obtaining the 17 - cent floor price on milk powder when other farm organizations asked for as low as 13 to 14 cents. Another achievement of the OFU as outlined by Mr. Con mack was the 37i . cents duty rate placed on each 100 lbs. of U,S, potatoes entering Canada the year around. Previously, potatoes entered Canada duty- free 45 weeks of the year. "The OFU, through a dynamic information program regarding the ineffective floor price on eggs, pressed the Federal Go- vernntent fo buy eggs off the market in March which resulted in a price increase." Mr. Evelyn Prosser, of Black- stone, who Is women's president of the OFU, was also a guest, Speaker, Re-elected county director wan Gordon Rill, of .Varna.

"The international jumping competition promises to be one of the highlights of this year's Royal and it will bring together the greatest array of the best riders and •finest horses ever seen in Canada." "The total number of entries at the Fair again this year is limited only by the accommoda- tion available," he continued, "but they will be unsurpassed insofar as -quality is concerned." "Altogether a total in excess of $135,000 is being offered in prizes, with the result competi- tion will be keen and some of the world's most outstanding livestock and agricultural pro- ducts will be exhibited. Indica- tions are that we will have more entries and more visitors from, the United States this year, too," the president continued. More than 130 internationally - famous judges from Canada, the United States and •England will select the prize winning entries from among the 1,300 horses, 3,000 cattle, 700 swine, 1,000 • sheep, 5,000 poultry and pet stock and the large display of grain, 'vegetables, dairy and poultry product s,. fruit and flowers, tropical fish and maple products Which will be shown, Some of the better known judges will include the Duke of Beaufort, Gloucestershire, Eng- land; W.

A Seaforth Leann. argued the affirmatively, Colwanosh juniors, taking the affirmative, competed against a Clinton team on the topic: "Re- solved that the trend towards higher horsepower in today's automotive engineers should con time," The North -Huron club and the Howick group debated the issue: "Resolved that each farmer should only have one enter. prise," Members of the county choir and juniors from each organise, tion rganiza- tion provided entertainment.
