This leaves a pen for her and a creep for the baby pigs. We're also testing out an English idea where the crate is circular and the sow has to lie down with her teats in one direc- tion." "This will give us the ordinary pen with a rail, around it. It w111 give us a gated pen which will make a stall once she far- rows. It will also give us a pig - ;too type of pen, a farrowing stall and two of crates,", adds Under- wood. "In our old farrowing house which wasn't insulated, we had 8x10 foot pens. A. man had to be around every minute when the sow was due to farrow and dur- ing farrowing," he says. "We hope to find a way to cut the tabor around t h e farrowing house. With our farrowing crates, lhe sows will be turned out in the yard to eat and drink. With the stalls the sows will eat in the same pen with the young pigs. We'll measure how much work each one involves." - The Ontario Department of Agriculture researcher mention- ed that the first litters would be in the new building by October.

Wholesaler partly controls prices Hillcrest Forum gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ar- thur Simplon were in agreetnent with the other forums that sup- ply and demand determines the price although the wholesaler has much to do with it. Here is a quote from their answer to the question as to their market prices. "We are of the opinion that we are getting a fair price for some of our pro- ducts but .are not getting a fair price for other 'products due to over -production which leaves it in the hands of the wholesaler and retailer to set the price." They will meet next Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Basting in Lucan. Prices not fair Unique Forum members were led in discussion by Aaron Oestricher and reported that they felt "egg prices are set by one or two brokers in Toronto. Cattle prices are set by supply and demand and American pri- ces. I -log prices up to now are set by the government. Milk prices have been set by the milk board." They thought they were not getting a fair price for their. products . except tribe are a fair price at present. The next 'meeting will. be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Merner on November 30 with Mr. Merner as discus- sion leader. TREAT FOOT ROT NOW Individual cases of foot rot should be kept in a dry place. and treated promptly, say vet- erinarians of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. Some recover rapidly,if you keep the foot • clean and treat it with milk antiseptics or healing oils. Veterinarians may inject soluble sulfonamide drugs into the blood stream or antibiotics into the muscle. If foot rot is a herd problem, walk cattle once or twice a day through a disin- fectant made from coal tar. ,It keeps down the number of new cases, 1i,1 111111111111111111f 111111111 Milli lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllturn 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111 llll111111111111111111111 r Wheel Alignment and Front-Erid Balance Is A Specialty At Hunter'Duvar Ltd.

FAST UNLOADING FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE — HOIST FOR SEMI -TRAILERS Keep The Canada Temperance Act Fewest Alcoholics . Under CTA Ontario has 2,210 alcoholics for every 100,000 persons 20 years of age and over. Ontario adds 5,000 annually to its total of alcoholics. (The Alcohol Research Foundation said 4,000, not long ago, but has had to revise this.) - The number of alcoholics in this Proyince was announced recently as 78,000. Each victim af- fects detrimentally about five other persons—in On- tario the equivalent in population of a great city. The Alcohol Research Foundation for rehab- ilitation costs $250,000 annually, In a condensed report on 'a 1956 survey, the Foundation said 600 of 1,000 clergymen made general comments and attributed to the use of alcohol: mar- ital discord, poor church attendance, juvenile prob. !ems, di'tlnken driving, 'crime, demoralization of wo- men. The number of alcoholics in Ontario has DOUBLED SINCE 1946, when cocktail bars Were established Without a vote. The more outlets, the greater the liquor consumption and the more numer- ous the tragedies. Huron,. under the Canada Temperance Act, has 750 alcoholics per 100,000 population, half the next lowest total among Ontario counties surveyed. How can any thoughtful person vote to impose upon Huron the Liquor Control Act with its eight (at present) types of liquor otltlets? LET'S, NOT LOSE THE. C.T.A. For The Revocation Against The Revocation x Voice of Experience: "Keep The CTA" Many citizens who have lived under both acts testify against the Liquor Control Act. Here are passages from a few letters: "Success to you in Huron, I live about eight rods from a hotel, and I wish the repealists could see what I sde daily. The attempt to repeal the C.T.A. is only another move on behalf of the liquor in- terests to widen their scope."—E. C. BOYD, Water loo county. "I have not been living in Huron for over two years, but I hope the voters of Huron will uphold their record for keeping the best interest of the rising generation always in mind, I enclose $15 to help win the battle."—WM A. CURRIE, Granton, "Having lived in communities under the L.C.A. And C,T,A., I know that the adoption of either will make little difference in the obtaining of alcohol by the youth. Boys and girls of Grand Bend can obtain alcohol in their community as easily as can the young people of Exeter,"—BILL POLLEN, student minister, "Living in Huron under the Canada Temper,. ance Act for the past year and a half is a welcome change from many years spent in areas under the Liquor Control Act. It is good to be able to walk down the main street without being accosted by an alcoholic, and to know that our girls can walk in safety in the evening. While drinking does exist, for Huron is not "dry", the evidences are not continuous- ly thrust under our eyes and noses, in long queues b fore the doors of liquor stores and brewers' ware• houses, and loud and unseemly conduct about the doors of beverage rooms. The number coming to our door seeking help in problems involving alcohol has been greatly reduced, and respect for law and order in this community is proportionately higher. It would be a serious retrogressi0>li to bring Huron under the Liquor Control Act." -REV, T, GARNET HUSSER, Wi ighaiitl Published by Huron CTA Committee
