county's farm
the barn removed from the land
was made by the comity home
committee, Twenty-five voted in
favor of keeping the farm, 11 in
favor of its sale.
The decision came at the end
of a discussion period that lasted
about an hour and a half Thurs.!
day morning.
A 1960 surplus at the farm of!
$3,000, including inventory (but1
not counting depreciation or!
taxes), was noted by John Ber-
ry, clerk -treasurer of the coun-
ty. The farm will require new
machinery soon, he said, but!
nothing has been set aside in the
budget for this.
Reeve Glenn Webb of Stephen I
Township was against the sale
because there had ben some
previous' talk of a technical
school in the area of the farm.
"With this in mind," he said,
"perhaps we are being too hasty
with the sale."
Warden Ivan Forsyth, who also
opposed the sale, suggested that
the operation of the farm he
turned over to the agricultural
committee, perhaps for a year
or tWo, when the sale could
again be discussed.
The Department of Welfare,
which subsidizes the county
home, does not grant any funds
for the operation of the farm.
According to Mr,. Berry, the de-
nartment would rather have the
farm separated from the home.
The farm comprises about 60
acres, on the west side of High-
way 4, in Stanley Township, and

Huron County ,Federation of
Agriculture held its regular
meeting June 13. Arrangements
were completed for the annual
worship service to be held Sun-
day, June 25 at the Salvation
Army Camp north of Bayfield.
Warren Zurbrigg reported that
the last'meeting of the OFA had
spent considerable time discus-
sing the matter of tractor lic-
encing and movement of farm
machinery on the roads. They I
were definitely opposed lo lic-
encing of tractors but did feel'
that farmers could help the si-
tuation
by driving on the shoul-
ders wherever possible, 1
•Common 'courtesy in moving
this slow travelling equipment,
would overcome many of the
complaints. This, quality is no
more, lacking among farmers
than motorists but is again a
matter of the few branding the
whole. It was also pointed out
that care in operating farm
equipment on the highway is
more likely to save •the life of
the farmer than the motorist.
Hume Clutton of Goderich
pointed out the continued drop
in sales of butter and the in-
crease of sales of margarine. He
stated that when a consumer
buys a pound of butter he can
be sure of the ingredients that
he is purchasing but in the case
of margarine there are no regu-
lations requiring uniformity of
ingredients and in, many cases
he may be getting very little
value for his money. Low in-
come in the hands of the dairy
farmer, further aggravated by
dropping butter sales, does con-
tribute to unemployment of the
urban consumer.
Bob McGregor of the Ontario
Beef Producers Board stated
that the voluntary deduction of
10c per bead of cattle marketed
would soon be attached to the
bill of lading. This money would
be used to promote the sale of
beef products.
Alf. Warner of the Hog Produ-
cers Co -Operative stated that
transportation fees will be col-
lected only for those truckers
that have obtained theirIcense
from the Board. He also stated
that grants representing 11/2c per
hog had been approved for the
county organizations by t h e

Agriculture Minister Goodfel-
low has announced that a milk
composition study will be un-
dcrtaken immediately by the
Ontario Department of Agri-
culture.
The study, requested by the
dairy industry, will concern it-
self Initially with the protein
content of Ontario milk from
which solids - not - fat 5...intent
may be easily established.
Mr, Goodfellow said that he
considered tlie PJ was of
the utmost importance to the
dairy industry and that the
findings of the study could re-
sult in a new method of pric-
ing milk in Ontario and pos-
sibly open up new approaches
to the breeding of dairy cattle.
Surveys made in other coun-
tries indicate that the protein
content of milk is subject to
wide variations and that it has
been demonstrated that the
protein content is largely •a
hereditary factor. It is felt
that protein percentages can be
improved by selective breed-
ing.
Protein is not essential nutri-
tionally, but is important 'as
well from the standpoint of
manufactured ,products such as
cheese and powdered milk.

ON FLY
CONTROL
Flies mean less milk in the pail, less beef
on the hoof, and they spread disease.
1.Houseflies: They're not blood suckers
and do not cause direct losses in meat
and milk production but they are
disease carriers. Purina Fly Bait is your
answer. Scatter it around where flies
bunch up—feed rooms, barns, window
sills, out in the barnlot. Just sprinkle
Purina Dry Fly Bait and watch'erndie.
2. Stable Plies: Are blood suckers; have
piercing mouthparts. About same size
as a housefly. Stable flies bite animala
around the legs and lower extremities.
Spend a part of their time in barns.
Use Fly Bait and Spray. Dairy Spray
and Dairy Spray Concentrate.
3. Horn Plies: Are about the Size of
ordinary houseflies and will be found
in patches on animals in pasture. When
the number of Horn Flies average 25
or more per anhnal—it's time to spray!
Dairy Cattle Dust and Dairy Spray.
4. Horseflies: No effective economical
spray is known. Use Purina Fly Bait.
5. For dairy cattle; use Purina Dairy
