tended the annual banquet and

Clarke, RR 5 Goderich; vice-

The retiring p resident, Del-
bert Geiger, RR 2 Zurich, was
presented with a past presi-
dent's pin by Robert Allan,
Brucefield, who held the posh
tion in 1958. Mr. Geiger was the
association's eighth president
since its inception 13 years ago.
Clock presented
A highlight of the evening was
the presentation of a mantel
chime clock by Charles Mac -
Naughton, Exeter, MPP for Hu-
ron, to Alvin Betties, RR 2 Bay-
field,who topped 16 contestants
in county pasture competition
this fall. Mr. Betties, who later
placedsecond in the zone finals,
had 22 acres of his 100 arable
acres in pasture, and had a car-
rying capacity of 44 animl units.
His score was 266 points.
With a close 263 points, Rob-
ert Allan, Brucefield, a new
competitor in the pasture cam•
petition, placed second; Don
Buchanan, Londesboro, with 261,
ratted third.
The guest speaker, introduced
by Mr. Miles, was Dr, D. N.
Huntley, of the field husbandry
department of the OAC, Guelph.
Dr. Huntley quoted statistics of
the 1959 .Ontario crop report and
compared them with previous
years. The only poor report this
year was for winter wheat, of
which one-third of the acreage
was winter -killed,
"At the end of the harvest we
netted 10,000,000 bushels less,"
he said, adding that the 1958
wheat crop was considered the
best on record.
In the spring grain class this
year saw 142,000,000 bushels
harvested, 10,000,000 bushels less
tihan 1958. "Hay and silage were
better this year than in 1958,
with at least 1,000,000 more tons
of each harvested," she re-
marked.
This year saw a 27 -bushel -an -
acre yield of soya beans -2,000,-
000 bushels more than in 1958.
The corn crop Was 1,000,000 bu-
shels higher, resulting in the
second-largest crap of corn On-
tario has ever produced - and
with a yield of 64 bushels to the
acre.
GoOd year
In stimmariting these figures,
Dr. Huntley said: "In 1959, af-
ter all the complaining we did
because of the dry, hot Weather,
we had tent of the best years in
the history of Ontario; and with
same luck it Will ge further. Our
cropping practices are far bete
ter than they were 20 Yeats ago;
we are doing things that our
forefathers did not do,"

per acre," said Dr. Huntley. "It
is unfortunate that when one
looks at forage crops, one can
not get the same story."
The situation of increased food
production is a perplexing one,
according to Dr. Huntley. "If in
Ontario each year craps are in-
creasing - and we are already
living on a continent with a sur-
plus of food, -it does not make
sense. You can not go back in
history for any guidance, as it
is a situation we are not used
to."
In closing, Dr, Huntley claimed
that the farmer should use zone
averages of acre yields as guides
-that so far there is no speci-
fic recommendation for any spe-
cific farm.
Melburn Greenwood, RR 1
Mitchell, of Perth county, as
district director on the Ontario
association, brought greetings
from the provincial body and his
own county as well.
Warden William Jewitt, reeve
of Hullet township, in voicing
appreciation for the work that
the county association is doing,
termed soil and crop„improve-
ment "the basic phase of agri-
culture."
Reeve Ivan Forsyth of Tuck-
ersmith township, chairman of
the Huron County Council's agri-
cultural committee, introduced
members of his committee -the
reeve of West Wawanosh, Jahn
Durnin; the deputy -reeve of Ho -
wick, Harvey McMichael; and
the reeve of Exeter, William Mc-
Kenzie, who is a member of the
Ontario Agricultural Council as
well.
Pastures
C. Kingsbury, Guelph, fieldman
with the crops, s eeds, and
weeds branch, reviewed the pro-
vincial pasture competition and
suggested that more Huron
county farmers participate in
the county competition next fall,
"Bruce county had 64 entries,
while Huron had only 16," he
said.
The banquet was served by
the Belgrave Women's Institute.
The immediate past president of
the association, Robert Allan,
voiced appreication. Mrs. Ri-
chard Procter, president of the
WI, replied.

Others who spoke briefly were
Mr. MacNaughton; Bailie Par-
rott, reeve of Morris; and Cla-
rence Hanna, reeve of East Wa-
wanosh.
Members of . the nominating
committee were William Turn-
bull, Brussels, Richard Procter,
and Robert Allan.

Education along the lines of
grading, and appearance of a pro-
duct on sale is needed for the
benefits of producer and Mat -
mer. They felt marketing faci•.

other lands to provide sales of
commodities needed there.
The next week's meeting will
be held at the home of M. and
Mrs. Melvin King,
Need for market development
Members of the Unique Farm
Forum met at the home of Mr,
and Mrs. Leonard Merner With
Mr. Merrier leading the discus-
sion on "Farmers in the Market-
place" Air. Albert Kalbfleisch
was a guest and spoke briefly
on the topic,
While co-operatives have un-
dertaken many jolts the forum
members thought that market
development, distribution a n d
merchandising are three jobs
that need attention and need to
be done.
To do these jobs members sug-
gested they should be done
through co-op marketing boards
with proper authorities, "We
could even build our own slaugh-
ter houses by deducting two or
three dollars per bog and also
use this money to dispose of sur-
plus pork," was their comment.
The topic of next week's dis-
cussion "Social Security on Ca-
nadian Farms" will be taken by
Mr. Bert Klopp, the meeting to
be held at the hone of Mr. and
Mrs, Herb Klopp.
Educate both producer, consumer
Elimville North Farm Forum
in discussion at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. William Elford's with
15 members in attendance felt
that education for both producer
and consumer would help to ac-
quaint the public with the dif-
ferent phases of marketing, and
also the producer and consumer
would become better acquainted
with each other's problems.
A social time followed with
games and a sing song with Mrs.
Philip Johns at the piano and
Curling Boots
