Elgin McKinley, chairman of the County TB Survey Commit- tee requested the assistance of. the federation in promoting the' campaign that will be conducted early next summer, By motion unanimously supported by the directors it was agreed that this support would be given by the federation. The following delegates were elected to attend the marketing and co-operative short course at Guelph, .January 28 to 31, Mar- tin Baan, Walton; Elmer Ire- land, Wingham; Mervin Lobb, Clinton, After discussion it was agreed that a decision on the advisa- bility of crop insurance for On- tario be deferred until there was more information available. Arrangements were made to convene a meeting of the selec- tion committee for the choosing of the delegates from Huron to the leadership training forum. On December 10 the federation convened a meeting of the farm- ers affected by the hydro trans- mission line from Seaforth to Clinton. This exceptionally well attended meeting was chaired by the county president and heard the details of Hydro's "offer to purchase plan" explained by Jack Ferguson, chairman of the OFA land acquisition commit- tee, and Don Middleton, head of the OFA department of proper- ties. After discussion, a motion was passed unanimously rejecting the offer to purchase plan. In place of this, the meeting agreed that under ordinary circum- stances the present schedule of compensation would be accept- able for a lease of 20 years. This would be equivalent to about a rental of $10.00 per. year. The meeting felt that this figure the minimum that farmers could be - expected to accept for the loss of rights and inconvenience suf- fered For the most part settlement for damages was satisfactory though in two cases trees cut outside the easement right of way had not been compensated for and in some cases special problems had not received con- sideration as had been promised. This did not promote good pub- lic relations. Kin treat kids at family party Exeter Kinsmen entertained their families at the club's an- nual Christmas party Sunday afternoon in Exeter Legion Hall.

Euchre winners were: ladies, Mrs. Eldon Jarrott, Mrs. John Soldan; gents, Gordon Coleman, Wilfred 111ousseau, Nearly 75,000 cattle in Huron county were artificially insemi- nated during the past year, it was reported at the Huron coun- ty meeting of the Waterloo Cat- tle Breeding Ass'n in Clinton Tuesday afternoon. This is an increase of about 5,000 over 1958. Largest percentage gain was in Herefords, where services rose 21 percent. The report indicated an expe- riment in cross breeding with Charolais, a French breed, had been moderately successful. Nearly 3,500 services had been used. The ass'n has two of the all -white Charolais hulls which it purchased from Texas. The French breed is noted for its rapid gain. Not alarming Dr. J. Mitchell, of the exten- sion branch of Ontario Veteri- nary College, revealed that the lepto spirosis disease, which causes abortion in cattle, is not considered particularly serious and that it can be controlled through vaccination. The disease, discovered about four years ago, has now spread generally across the province and has been noted in Huron county. Lepto spirosis, which differs j from contagious abortion, is spread by infected urine. An af- fected cow gives milk which looks like colostrum milk. The disease can be diagnosed by blood test. A. 0. Elliott, Exeter, was re- elected director for the county. Junior groups celebrate yule The December meeting of the Junior Farmers and Junior In- stitute on Friday evening took the form of a Christmas party following a brief meeting of each group separately in South Hu- ron District High School. Progressive crokinole was played with Mervin Shute win- ning high score for young men and Kathryn Hicks for young ladies. Dancing and lunch concluded the meeting. Better relations Fairfield members met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Elliott and were of the opinion that export trade could be in- creased by better relations with other nations. Also good quality of products and attractive packaging would help in competition with other nations. Export trade could be increased by trading surpluses for goods imported. Canada's farmers can help ad- just production by using all the products possible at home, by finding more markets at home and by growing crops that could be used industrially. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Neil. Produce top quality for market Mr. Delbert Geiger led the discussion ori Market Expansion for Unique Farm Forum at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Clifford Pepper. Members thought it was pos- sible to increase Canada's ex- port trade on pork, western grain and eggs by exchanging for items needed, by greater ne- gotiations with foreign countries, by' producing and exporting only top quality and by deducting two or three dollars per hog for ex- porting at a loss. In answer to the second ques- tion they were of the opinion "It is hard to adjust production because of weather conditions .. We should have advisory boards to study markets and advise far- mers which and how much of each product to produce. The topic for the next meeting Ings until after the new Year. Members felt marketing boards should be able to find markets for Canadian exports and that farmers must cut down on prom duction in order to do away witit surpluses. .
