•Good we,sther has aided the
completion of many falllobs.
Pall plowing and the liftingof

favourably with a few farmers
picking corn, More turnips have
mgvecl out of the country than
in any previous year.
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

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.

fact, had to offer.
"Here is a man," he said,
"who apparently has power over
both governments. 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.

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

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,

Mr. Burns said.
"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,
