manageMent of their farms.
This Was the answer to the -first
question. Parr Line Forum was
the only forum to record the vote
of nine for a yes vote, and seven
indicated they did not need help.

Mrs. Lewis Johns, agreed they
needed help to manage their
farms and the reason they re-
ported was to find out whether
their projects were paying and
to weed out the non-paying ones,
They suggested short courses
at agricultural colleges on farm
management would be a great
help and also club training, such
as Junior Farmers and 4-H clubs
give, is helpful.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Johns will
be hosts again next week,
Fairfield Forum '
Twenty-six members attended
the Fairfield Forum at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Schroe-
der. • •
After much discussionit was
decided the right kind of help in
managing the farm would Pro-
vide short cuts to knowledge and
avoid costly experiments.
This quote apepars in their re-
port: "Experience is knoWn to
he the best teacher, yet nobody
knows everything about anything
and one is wise to accept help
when profitable."
They felt that they would pre-
fer help from .government sources
as one member said "The gov-
ernment has done very well M.
the. past to provide helpful in-
formation in reference .to farm
accounting, soil tests .and. seed
experiments." They concluded
with this thought, the old saying,
"Where ignorance is bliss 'Os
folly to be wise," does not apply
to the successful modern farmer.
They will meet at the home of
Mr, and. Mrs. George Hepburn
next Monday night.

Unique Forum
Anson McKinley. a member of
the South Huron Farm Manage-
ment Association, spoke to the
members of the 'Unique Farm
Forum, meeting at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Klopp, on the
benefits of keeping: accurate
farm records. .
The members felt there .were
few farm businesses that could
not be improved and they could
use help in this respect.
They thought most helpcould
be secured through associations
such as is' conducted in Huron
and Bruce, although short
courses would.help, too.
The bat meeting will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Herb Klopp, with Mrs. Delbert
Geiger as speaker on "Equality
for Women," There will be the
,usual Christmas treats and gifts,
Parr Line Forum
The majority bf members of
Parr .Line Forum indicated that
they needed more help in manag
ing their farms. Those Wile 'felt
they did not need help said a
farmer knows what his own land
can produce best, and that ex-
perience was the best teacher.'
Short courses at colleges was
the help that the majority would
accept.
Euchrewinners were Mrs,
kllenn, Weide, Mrs . -Howard' Ad-
kins, Glenn Weido, and Jack
Soldan.
