out of every four purebred dairy
cattle breeders in the country.
Black and Whites from Can-

reputation abroad and seed
stock has been shipped to 33
different countries. So impor-
tant has this export market
become, that approximately one
in four of all purebred Holstein

are sold for export. This, of
course, provides a welcome
source of additional revenue
to the dairymen.

White Day is the high spot of,
the season for Holsteins in the
county, yet many honors have
been won by Huron cattle at the
Western Ontario Chanipionship
Show held in connection with
Western Fair, London. Although
this show attracts entries from
all ten counties of Western
Ontario, which has over 3,000
purebred Holstein breeders, the
densest population of Black and
White breeders in the Ameri-
cas, yet the Huron County has
consistently done well, topping
its achievements with a second
place win in 1962.
The first Black and White Day
sponsored by the club was held
in connection with Goder ic h
Fair in 1939 with 26 entries
which were judged by Imman
Thompson of St. Pauls, Com-
pare this with the entry of 140
head shown by 21 exhibitors at
the Black and White Day held
in connection withSeaforth Fair
last Fall. Here the grand cham-
pion bull was Banella Perfection
Favourite shown jointly by
George Hayden and Thomas
Hern & Sons, Woodham, while
Edward F. Bell of Blyth showed
the senior and grand champion
female, May View Lottie Re-
flection Tensen, Thomas Hay-
den & Son won premier breeder
honors, and George Hayden,
premier exhibitor honors, while
the judge was Mac Logan of
Curries.
Since 1961, Ross Marshall
of Kirkton has been providing
leadership for the entire Hol-
stein fraternity through his po-
sition as a national director of
the Holstein-Friesian Associ-
ation of Canada. He is one of
four such directors elected by
the breeders in Western On-
tario.

When one observes the many
fine herds of purebred Black and
White Holstein cattle in Huron
County today, it is difficult to
realize that just 25 years ago,
only nine breeders banded tp-
gether to form the Hurpn County
liolstein Club.
The organizational meeting
was held July 30, 1939, in the
office of Agricultural Repre-
sentative J. C. Shearer a.tClin-
ton with Westere Ontario
stein fieldman, Byron G. Genvey
of Ingersoll, in attendance?
The officers elected were
president, Gordon Bisset, God-
erich; first vice-president,
Colin Campbell, Bayfield; sec-
pnti vice-president, Willis Van
Egmond, Clinton, and secre-
tary-treasurer, Hume Clutton,
Goderich.
Most of the 46 county Uolstein
clubs in Ontario have assisted
in the formation of 4-H calf
Clubs, but curiously enough the
usual pattern was reversed in
Huron, where a Holstein Calf
Club was formed early in 1939
under the auspices of the God-
erich Agricultural Society, the
Holstein Club being organized
later the same year to give
support to the work of the calf
club.
Over the years, the club as
a whole and individual members
of it have maintained a close
relationship with the calf club
movement in the county. Not
only has the club been concern-
ed with providing guidance and
suitable calves for calf club
members, but in givin g its
member s, particularly new
breeders of Holstein cattle, a
sound knowledge of the practical
aspects of breeding and deve-
loping superior animals.
Today's figure of 204 mem-
bers of the Holstein-Friesian
Association of Canada in the
county, the high p r o du c t ion
standards of the county herds,
the excellent Black and White
show held annually and the
achievements of animals bred
in Huron but now owned else-
where, testify to the fine job that
has been done. Had the first
President, Gordon Bisset, been
able to forecast at the inaugural
meeting the progress of the
past quarter century he would
have been well satisfied.
Unquestionably, a great deal
of credit for the achievements
of the Black and Whites in Huron
should go to Hume Clutton of
Meadow Glade farm, Goderich.
He was the first secretary-
treasurer of the club and still
maintains that position, a re-
cord unmatched by any other
Holstein Club officer in Canada.
Not only has Hume been a
zealous, faithful supporter of
'the club, but he has shown the
way by developing a top herd of
Holsteins.
In 1949, he was presented

The determination to keep its
mortgage services completely
competitive has prompted Brit-
ish Mortgage & Trust Company
to enter the field of so-called
83% mortgages at 7 1/4% in-
terest Wilfrid P. Gregory, Q. C. ,
president and managing direc-
tor, has announced.
"Our combined mortgage
plan is sufficiently flexible that
we will not only meet any com-
petition, but in many cases are
prepared to do much better,"
Mr. Gregory said.
This new mortgage policy is
particularly timely as the com-
pany is expanding widely in
Toronto — an area in which they
have found great demand for
mortgages on old as well as new
homes,
Under the new British Mort-
gage plan, borrowers will be
able to obtain a full 80% of the
appraised value of their pro-
perty on repaynient terms as
long as 20 years. The cost to
the mortgagor will be 7 1/4%

mortgage plus flat 2% service
or insurance fee, levied at the
time of the principal advance.

with a Master Breeder Shield
by the Holstein-Friesian Asso-
ciation of Canada, the highest
honor that a Holstein breeder
in Canada can achieve. Pre-
viously only 33 such awards had
been made in the entire country.
In his Meadow Glade herd, he
developed a remarkable family
of females headed by an "Excel-
lent" cow, Meadow Glade Mat-
tie Posch who had five "Very
Good" daughters. This was the
first such family group in Cana-
da.
Hume Clutton is still keenly
interested in the affairs of the
club. Recently he said, "I be-
lieve that breeders' clubs, such
as ours, can be extremely use-
ful to all dairymen and particu-
larly to those just starting by
supplying the sound practical
information that is needed to
make a success of breeding
livestock. There is always
something new in this field and
in my opinion the herd evalua-
tion program recently sponsor-
ed by the club with the assis-
tance of fieldman, Gordon Bell,
is one of the most educational
projects that we have yet of-
fered to our members."
One of the notable early herds
in the county was that of Bisset
Bros. at Goderich. This was a
large herd and many outstanding
individuals were bred there,
including a cow that later was
grand champion at Michigan
State Fair at Detroit. It is
interesting to note that the first
picnic sponsored by the club
was held at Bisset Bros. farm
in 1940 with J. J. E. McCague,
owner of the famous Glenafton
Farms at Alliston, as speaker.
A banquet had been held the
previous fall with Hon. Russell
T. Kelly the Ontario Minister
ofHealth, as the speaker.
Cows classified "Excellent"
for body conformation are few
and far between in the Holstein
breed, only about 40 out of the
30,000 animals classified an-
nually in Canada achieving this
rating. These are the true 'gla-
mour girls' of the breed. Huron
has had its share of such ex-
ceptional individuals. Two have
been bred in the herd of Thomas
and George Hayden of Gorrie,
one of them becoming a six-
star brood cow and the other
having been sold last year for
$6,000. Glen Waldenof Lucknow
also bred an "Excellent" cow
that sold for $2,500 in 1962. At
his sale in 1963, Harold Badley
of Goderich sold an "Excellent"
cow that had been bred by Wil-
lis Van Egmond of Clinton.
Carrying the fame of Huron
abroad was Queenbush Dinah
bred by Walter Wood, Wingham
who was first prize three-year-
old last fall at the International
Dairy Show at Chicago for her
present owner Harvey Nelson
& Son, Union Grove, Wisc.
While the annual' Black and
Rural leaders and develop-
ment workers should be train-
ed at a centre established by
ARDA so that they are avail-
able when needed, farm forum
members suggested this week
after they discussed the pros
and cons of ARDA Monday night.
In December last forums dis-
cussed ARDA on Trial and Fair-
field Forum members felt they
did not need the assistance of
ARDA for the Ausable Conser-
vation Authority had been in-
strumental in developing this
area.
The discussion returns to
ARDA in March to note any
community developments plan-
ned or begun since then.
As to comments about ARDA
Fairfield members hoped fed-
eral and provincial govern-
ments would be able to agree
on the projects so that the dif-
ferent regions who need the
help of ARDA can receive it.
The forum met at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Russell King
with 19 in attendance. Next
meeting will be at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Schroe-
der.
