North Middlesex proud of Stewart Says farm records the key to success Farm union presses reduced truck fees. Clark says: "During the last ten years, the prices farmers pay for goods have risen by 30 to 505, while return for farm produce has remained steady or even declined. Along with this fact, higher expenses emphasize the importance of keeping farm records." • The best way to keep farm records is with an annual ac- count book, From the analysis of this book you can pick out the weak points and correct them, making changes for a more profitable operation next year. You can also check new ideas for profitability on paper before you actually spend the money. If you don't belong to a farm management association and there isn't one in your county, Clark suggests sending to the Economics Department at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, for an account book, They will also do the analysis of the book at the end of the year. "Records are of no value un- less they are kept accurately and analysed at the end of each year," states Clark, eetiMILKE REPLACEMENT PARTS? s, :sew's ossaseaftSMESSOISIMIMMATirs019SVIEMSSMOMIS In a debate spread over two days, .Huron ounty Counril de- cided to increase funds to its highways department by one mill, The increase will provide the department with an amount equal to eight mills. Whether the boost in highway spending will affect the 1962 .county tax rate will riot be known until the budget and tax rate are set in March, Suggest two mills In the early phases of the de- bate, it was suggested by the 1961 road committee that the levy for highway purposes be increased by two mills. The recommendation w a s made as a result of increased costs arising out of improved design standards for roads; a backlog of paving to be done in 1962, and the necessity of setting some money aside for contingencies. The 1962 road program calls for an expenditure of about $600,000—$400,000 for new con- struction and $200,000 for man- tenance. The committee suggested, as an alternative to the levy in- crease, that about 80 miles be cut from the county road sys-tem. This plan was not ac- cepted Hensall fair group honors Bill Decker five years ago. Earl Dick, Cromarty, reeve of Hibbert, township, was re- elected president of the so- ciety. Vice-presidents are Jim Doig, Tuckersmith, and Otto Willert, Dashwood. Secretary- treasurer is P. L. McNaughton, The society decided to hold its annual twilight fair on Fri- day, June 8. The union recommends that speeial classification be set up in Ontario for farm trucks with a reduced fee, "Farmers," said Gordon Hill, Varna, who presented the brief, "do not object to paying a fair share of highway main- tenance but feel the present system is not equitable," He said farm truck average Five-year plan only 3,700 miles per year, tra- vel empty two-thirds of the time and are used to capacity only 25 percent of the time. The union also suggested; That weeds along county roads and railways be cut or sptayed earlier in the season before going to seed; That sanding operations have not been adequate in some lo- calities to reduce the risk of dangerous hills; That county council support its proposal to have the pro- vincial hospitalization p 1 a n cover beds in nursing homes. In ; brief to county council last week, Huron Farmers' Union requested support for its proposal to lower licence fees for farm trucks, s:sslasaSASSASmsastOAMUMM A proposal to build a $256,000 county office, to eliminate re- ported overcrowding in the Hu- ron County courthouse, was re- jected by county council Wed- nesday. In a recorded vote, 29 were against the plan and se- ven in favor. The chief reason given for rejection was that county fin- ances do not warrant such a building. Donald Snider, of an archi- tectural firm at Waterloo, said an addition to the present court- house as suggested by some councillors would cost at least 40 per cent more than a con- ventional building on its own. At the last session of 1961, council took an option on prop erty for the proposed building in Goderich. The property • committee of council, which made the propo- sal, suggested that council pro- ceed with the erection of the building as soon as possible and that the costs be paid entirely out of current revenue, which would mean an increase in the mill rate for two or three years, Oppose new office building At least one perSeil has ta- ken exception to my remarks regarding federal inspection of meats sold for buman con- stimptiun, I certainly have no objection to the most rigid in- spection of meat products but I do object to it being applied in a discriminatory manner. That it is unfair to the smith ler processor is shown in the following quotation from a statement made by Bruce Pac- kers, Paisley, to their local weekly, "It is our fondest hope that the present investigation on inedible meats will lead to rigid and compulsory inspec- tion of all meat enterprise, in Canada, Bruce Packers Ltd, has, since its inception, tried every known procedure and ar- gument to force inspection either by the province or the dominion but so far there have been no interested parties. "If all 'taxpayers in Canada help pay for federal inspec- tion in the big plants and our government turns a deaf ear to giving it to the smaller plants whb earnestly desire the same class of inspection, then it is quite obvious that large packers have a monopoly on the meat business of Canada. "'Phis firm has spent large sums of money to keep the es- tablishment up to date on the requirements set forth by the Bruce County. Health Unit, It is prepared to spend more to get into a government class of inspection, which till now. has appeared hopeless." To me this points up again the former difficulties faced by the large number of small operators in many different fields. Efficiency of operation doesn't seem too competitive. Rather it is other factors of advantage that is forcing the little people out, Equal opportunity We are alarmed at the dis- appearance of the family farm and we are led to believe that farms have to he huge. I can agree that the family farm of the present and future needs to be larger than a few years ago but this is simply because the family on the farm today can handle larger acreage. Farms have been increasing in size on this basis for years. The real problem of these family farmers is to obtain an equal opportunity to purchase sup- plies and to sell product. Since large corporations can move into the farming business and operate at cost or even at a loss that can then be made up in processing the product or in supplying feed it cuts out the one opportunity of a liv- ing income to the one who is Gobel stars • in program North Middlesex voters show, ed in no uncertain terms last. week that they're proud of On- tario's new , agriculture Nearly 600 supporters packed Medway High School Wednes, day night, Jan, 17, to pay trib- ute to their MPP, Hon. Wilt Ham A. Stewart, who recently received the farm portfolio, Mr, Stewart and his wife, along with Harry Duffin, North Middlesex PC Association pres- ident, and Mrs. puffin, re- mained in the reception line for over an hour and one-hall greeting guests and well-wish- ers, The gymtorium and balcony of the school was quickly filled and workmen twice had to scurry to find more seats. With Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were their four daughters — Marilyn, 17; Norman, 1.9; Barb- ara, 11, and Gay, eight. Mr. Stewart's rise in provin- cial politics has been described Just a few weeks after the UN approval of a world food program to feed the hungry people of the world the Farm Forum topic was "Food for Peace" Monday nights Forum members were unani- mously in favor of sharing food with the hungry although same felt it would be a better plan to provide machinery experts to train and, educate the peo- ple to gnaw their own instead of being dependent on others. Give one per cent Fairfield Forum members thought that 1% of Canada's National. Product would. not be too much to give as a nation even though it would amount to over $350 million per year for they said that nuclear re- search costs a great deal more than that. They met at the home of Mm- and Mrs. Earl. Neil with 21 in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Her- man Powe will be hosts next week. as "meteoric". He was first elected to the legislature in 1957, in a bydlection caused by the death of Thomas L. Pat- rick, In 1.960, only three years later, he became minister with- out portfolio under Premier Frost, then succeeded to the agriculture post when John Robarts was elected premier. Hampered by a cold, Mr. Stewart made a brief 'address to his constituents, paying trib- ute- to the riding as one of great agriculture diversity and a hub for education and cul- ture. lfe said new educational facilities like Medway High School were helping to pro- mote better understanding and co-operation between rural and urban residents. Mr. Stewart was considerably over-optimistic in predicting the results of the five provin- cial byelections which were be- ing held ',he next day. He said he would be surprised if the PC party didn't win all five, Liberals won three of the seats. Responsible for others Elimville Forum members felt they had a certain respon- sibility for needy nations and suggested Canadians might pro- duce more. They were also agreed that 1. per cent was a fair share for Canada as a na- tion to give. Owing to road conditions this group had not met for the past couple of weeks but. met Mon- day night at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Howard Johns.

In reply, Dr. Dymond stated that foUr hospital beds per 1,000 population were consider- ed adequate, A survey by the dep't showed that in Huron County the ratio of hospital beds exceeded this amount, The minister, also said that the hospitalization plan was not intended to carry every person Does it pay to keep farm records? H. Clark answers yes to this question, Mr. Clark is a farm management special- ist with the Farm Economics Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. NEW POST — Huron MP El- ston Cardiff, who has been par- liamentary secretary to Agri- culture Minister Hamilton, was transferred to a similar post with the health and welfare dep't in a shift announced by Prime Minister Diefenbaker at Ottawa last week. Mr. Car- diff becomes seer etar y to Health Minister Waldo Mon- tieth, Stratford. His successor in agriculture is John A, Charl- ton, „Brant MP. who was sick but only those persons ill enough to require the specialized care available only in hospitals. Dr. Dymond stated that in his opinion other services were more urgently needed such as diagnostic and out patient ser- vices. He also pointed out the cost of the plan to the pro- vincial government and stated that a large share of the pro- vincial sales tax would be re- quired to maintain present ser- vices. The union delegation consist- ed of Director Ray Hanna, Wo- man's Director Mrs. Thomas Govenlock, Secretary Carl Gov- ier, Mrs. Govier, Gordon Hill and were accompanied by John Hanna, MPP, and. Hon.

Plans for a deten- tion room, along with facili- ties for the county library, were, included in the architect's plans, A model of the proposed build- ing and sketches of floor plans were on display. Hire assistant The historic committee of council suggested that Mr. Neil could 'be relieved of his admin- istrative duties to devote his time to documenting items in the museum. Mr. Neill said such a job would take a winter or two summers. James Chisholm, Goderich, was hired at $2,800 a year to act as assistant curator. Mr. Neill said council's decision in choosing Mr. Chisholm. was a "wise one," since the latter has had four years of experience at the museum and is interested in the work, Make sure plenty of water is available for your dairy cows in the winter; and that it's above 35°F, say livestock specialists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture. The average dairy cow drinks about 12 gallons of water per day, and a heavy milker might need as much as 20 gallons a day.
