In many cases, his advice would not be as reliable as the farmer's own ideas. They felt there were no credit needs in their community at the present time. The next meeting will be. held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Hepburn. Longer Term Credit Needed Members of Parr Line Forum, at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Ross Love, suggested longer term credit on machinery, live- stock, seed fertilizer and gasoline were the needs of their com- munity. To meet these needs this forum felt that the•Junior Farmer Loan should be raised from 65 per cent of appraised value to 75 per cent — in this way it would be more helpful for a young farmer to become established. They also felt a system of the VLA seemed to be satisfactory. As far as supervision is con- cerned, members believed the way prices are, they needed as much supervision as they could get, but they stated: "We do not want to have supervised credit." Euchre winners were Mrs. Gordon Coleman, Mrs. Keith Love, Charles Robinson and Keith Love, The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. How- ard Adkins.

He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Roger Northcott of Hay Township. . His early life was spent in and around Exeter before going to Saskatchewan. Later he moved to Manitoba. Surviving are his widow and two sons, Ross and Brian and seven grandchildren; four broth- ers and three 'sisters: Joseph, London; James, British Columbia; Frank, Watford; William, Hay; Mrs. J. T.

Prepare To Sell More Lacombes About 100 Lacombe boars and 30 breeding groups, consisting of one boar and three gilts, will be available to Canadian breed- ers in April this year, the Can- ada Department of Agriculture has announced, The Lacombe breed is the re- sult of a hybridization and se- lection program initiated by the department in 1947 which com- bined the blood of the Danish Landrace, the Chester White, and Berkshire breeds, This is the thirdrelease of La- combe boars. As in 1957 and again last year, a chance draw will decide which commercial swine producers get the boars. First release of Lacombe fe- males was made last fall, when 20 breeding groups were sold to breeders in three prairie pro- vinces and Ontario. Officials stress that thdse breeding groups are for the pro- pagation of purebred Lacombes by private breeders and that only those interested in raising purebred Lacombes, and with some experience in raising. pure- bred livestock, should apply. Application forms- and details of regulations concerning the' draws are available from the La- c o in b e, A l t a., Experimental Farm. Deadline for applications is April 11. Only applications on official forms will be considered.

During the past months our county president, Bob McGregor, has been getting a few queries about another bus trip. The one two years ago seemed to be Bitch Scores greatly enjoyed so Mr. McGre- gor has been gathering a bit of information on a 1 ittle bigger tour, One that is being thought of is a three-day tour into Michigan to a beef cattle show and sale to be followed by a visit to a packing plant that is processing this very choice grade of cattle. We would then call in at some of the large commercial feed lots and other points of interest on the way, Already 15 have reserved seats on the bus so it looks as if we will be able -to arrange it. -'A meeting of the directors will be held shortly to plan details and to make the final decision. In the meantime if you are inter- ested contact Mr. McGregor or leave word at the Federation of- fice. It has been brought to my at- tention that hydro is building a new twin pole line from Seaforth to Clinton very shortly. It niay be that other lines will be built this year, The Federation has been able to increase the rate of compensation greatly over the previous payments but still feels there is something to be desired. If you are faced with this kind of problem we would be very glad to learn what you land owners think is a just settlement for these lines. Another project that has come my way is the straightening of some of the highways by cutting off corners and going aross farms. We would like to know how you feel about the offers that are being made. Also we would like to know whether or not you feel the improvement justifies the expense, Doubles Output The Easy Way Usborne Township farmer Lewis Johns is doubling pro- duction .the easy way.

She went winner's bitch in a class of 52, earning five points toward her American champion- ship. Kaukana Aldebaran was one of 89 Dobermans entered in the Westminster, N.Y,, competition.

Over 300 policy holders of the Hay Township Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, who came to participate in a lively election of directors, approved' the mutual's third rate increase in five years during the annual meeting to Zurich Monday after• noon. Officials hope the hike, which will raise agricultural coverage from 25 cents to 30 cents, and urban from 18 to 20, will put an end to operational losses which are eating into the mutual's surplus. Secretary -treasurer Reginald 0, Black estimated the new rates would produce a revenue exceed- ing $100,000. "This will be enough to take care of our losses at their present level," he stated, Mr. Black's financial report revealed a decrease 4f $11,248 during 1958, cutting the surplus to $23,335.35. In 1957, the decrease was a record $24,000. Total losses during the year were down, however. They amounted to $73,000, compared to $84,000 the previous year. Major reduction came in direct losses to the company, the first such reduction in at least six years, according to Mr. Black. This improvement was attributed to the inspection program which Hay has had in effect for four years. Ezra Webb, Grand Bend, was elected president of the mutual, succeeding Fred J. Haberer, who presided over the annual meet- ing.

Harvey Taylor and Otto Willert, Dashwood, were re-elected to the board, end John. Scotchmer, Bayfield, won Iiia. first term,. Defeated were William B. X,ove, Grand Bend, who served as vice- president during 1958, and John A. Morrissey, Huron warden• in. 1958, who was making his first bid for the office. Observers said imerest in the election was caused by an upset in the, unwritten regulation, for distribution of directorships among three townships. For years it has been understood that two directors would come from Stanley, four from Hay, and three from Stephen. Last- year, Stephen elected its fourth direc- tor, leaving Stanley with, only one. With the re-election of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Scotchmer's vic- tory, Stanley now has two men on the board again. Other directors are Ed Helie drick, Crediton; Albert Keys, Exeter; Reinhold Miller and Max. Turnbull, both of Dashwood. Agents are William Haugh, Dashwood, and Clarence Parke.. Zurich.
