The following resolutions were;
presented by Frank Yeo of thel

approved by the meeting.
From Howick township—where.
as obstructionist tactics have
been used to waste time and
cause confusion at meetings in
Huron County Federation of •
Agriculture held its • regular

secretary read a letter from the

mission. Tliis announced that1
there are several copies of film

There was a good deal of dis-;
eussion on the question of a can-

Many people seem fearful of the •
financial loss that might result:
but it was pointed out that there
is a continuous loss from the af-
fects of the disease. We seem to
have lost sight of the real rea-
son for this program, the health
of our families.
One of the directors stated
that a doctor in the Sick Chil-
drens Hospital in Toronto said
undulant fever was the most
common and one of the worst
diseases they bad to combat, 11

almost always leaves permanent
disability to some degree. For
this reason the directors agreed
that the Federation do all ip its
power to spread the information
on this plan and to make prepa-
ration for a canvass this Octo-
ber.
H. E. Delman, agricultural
specialist, told us that after the
tornado which cut through Bruce
county last year the government
declared it a "disaster area"
but in the accident survey taken
in Bruce it was shown. that 'farm

Cake coloring also has a gar-

pand the information services
from all branches and institutions
of the 'Ontario Department of
Agriculture.
The new information branch
will provide information services
to press, radio, and television,

this pinching back causes strongl

it's on these low side branches
that the best berries grow.
After the, old canes bear, cut

Beans -
Apparently there are even
right and wrong ways to plant
beans. New hamslure scientists
planted half a row of beans with
the eyes down; the remaining
half row eyes up, The "eyes
down" beans were 6 to 9 inches
tall before the "eyes up" beans
even started coming , .up, The
scientists decided that it's easier
for a bean root to grow straight
down (when planted eyes down)
than to first grow out and then
turn down as it has to do when
planted eyes up.
Light Bulbs
To avoid climbing to the top
of an empty hayloft to replace
burned out light bulbs, put all
new bulbs in each fall when you,
fill the barn. Then use the old
ones in easy -to -reach places.
Windows
To prevent putty from break-
ing and falling from your win-
dows,. put a little linseed oil on
the window before you start,
then add a little paint to
the putty.

Usborne commit has agreed to
a new fire fighting pact with the
town of Exeter.
The new ag,reement, proposed
by a delegation from the town
at a township meeting MonclaY,
provides for the township to pay
a retaining fee of 4150 a year in
addition to the hourly rate now
charged by the town for the ser-
vices of the brigade.
The new arrangement was
worked out following a series of
meetings on fire protection.
brought about by the proposed
formation of a Huron County Mu-
tual Fire Assistance Pact.
Although details were not
worked out, it was agreed by of-
ficials that when a new fire
truck is purchased by the town
consideration will be given to
equipment which will assist in
the fighting of farm fires and
the rural areas will be asked to
make a contribution towards the
cost.
The agreement must still be
ratified by Exeter council. Mem-
bers of the delegation from the
town included Councillor Ralph
Bailey, chairman of the protec.
tion to persons and property'
committee; Mayor R. E. Foley',
Reeve William McKenzie and
Deputy -Reeve Chester Yawhia-
ney.
