Reports of irregular delivery of second class mail and appar- ent mishandling of some first class mail were discussed by directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at their first meeting of the year in Clinton last week. Second vice-president Elmer Hunter, RR 3 Goderich, said the Ontario F of A in conjunc- tion with postal authorities, is investigating. Charles Thomas, Brussels, first yice-president, said that in his community a petition is being circulated for better mail service. He said the village once had two mail deliveries a day by train, but since mail trucks had taken over, mail is brought in only once a day. The recent change in mail delivery throughout the area has also caused poor delivery in many communities. At the meeting also, Thomas accused Farmers' allied Meat Enterprises Co-operative Ltd. of keeping too many secrets from its shareholders. Thomas told Alex McGregor, RR 2 Kippen, county chairman of FAME and also Huron F of A president, that part of FAME's problem is a lack of publicity. "Why secret meetings?" he asked. "you can't invest in something you know nothing about." McGregor answered by say- • Books available Farm Account Books, which are used by more and more area farmers each year, are now available at the office of The Times-Advocate.

Miles, agricultural representative for Huron County, told members of the Huron County 4-H Club Lead- ers' Association yesterday at their annual meeting. "I hesitate, but I must com- ment on the attitude of our farm people toward marketing boards," he said. "I am not sure that farm people can con- tinue to think that marketing boards are the final answer to our problems." About 22 of the 54 club lead- ers attended the meeting in the agricultural office board room. They were guests of the On- tario department of education at a dinner in Hotel Clinton. Also attending the dinner were Alex McGregor, of RR 2, Kippen, president of the Huron County Federation of Agricul- ture, and Stewart Proctor, RR 5, Brussels, 1964 chairman of Huron County council's agricul- tural committee. Mr. Miles told the leaders they would have to give more serious consideration to intro- ducing farm management in- struction to the 4-H program. The leaders decided to start organizational meetings for this year's 4-H clubs during the lat- ter part of April; sponsor a bus trip in July; hold a leadership training school for agricultural club leaders and possibly home- making club leaders in March; hold a rally for agricultural club members in Clinton in June; and hold the annual achievement night in Exeter Dec. 3. Winners in the 4-H sign com- petition were: Gerald and Nellie Baan, of Walton, first; Bill and Jim Henderson, Seaforth, sec- ond; and Margaret Stewart, Clinton, third. The signs paint- ed by club members were placed in front of farm residences to indicate that 4-Hers lived there. Donald Pullen, assistant ag- ricultural representative f o r Huron, in charge of 4-H work in the county, reported there were 25 clubs last year, five more than in 1963. He said club members completed 92.8 per- cent of the 470 projects started Juniors' program termed successful a real beauty Tudor, Marilyn Marshall, Kirkton, president of the Huron County Junior Farmers, said she was "well pleased" with the con- ference on leadership held in Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton, Saturday.

They felt that provincial farm organizations seemed to be ef- fective but, in some cases, at the local level organizations appeared to be inactive. members suggested that local farm groups should meet monthly and should be open to the public as previously. More- over these meetings might be advertised that the public might know the time and place. No suggestions were given for new services. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Powe.

Because the gasoline requirements of the farmer are unique, your Co-operative brings you a new regular gasoline specially developed for farm use. Oxidation during storage is a problem unique to the farmer, so is constant slow speed tractor operation and the need f or seasonal power chang es. Ordinary regular gasolines developed for automo- biles, do not offer the special qualities needed to meet these farm driving conditions, New CO-OP Farm Gasoline does! This specially-formulated fuel meets these needs in five essential areas: The slow operating speeds and frequent idling of trac- tor engines cause excessive carbon deposits in the carburetor resulting in costly over-rich fuel mixtures. CO-OP Farm Gasoline includes a special carburetor detergent that eliminates these deposits, keeps the throttle clean, and prevents too-rich mixtures, You get smoother perform- ance plus a saving in gasoline, munity . . pored over the latest research . . an- alyzed new manufacturing techniques, new mate- rials. They picked the brains of ag college special- lists, interviewed top farmers on their personal goals. And then they created Super Q. The Super Q program is a national effort. It has all the efficiency and breadth of bigness . . but with the pinpoint local accuracy to give the individ- ual grower higher yields and profits. In side-by- side tests on hundreds of farms with six different crops, Super Q outyielded the best commercial fertilizers by as much as 25%, Successful as they have been with Super Q, the scientists do not see their job as done. As Dr. Ray Starostka, chief formulator for Super Q, explained to me, "Don't memorize the numbers on a Super Q bag; they'll change the minute we get a new test or technique—or as local conditions demand." I certainly don't want to give the impression that Super Q is a cure-all. On the contrary, it will only be sold to top farmers—the top 20% in yields and management. They'll make Super Q pay off. I surveyed 900 farmers in ten areas, and it was really exciting to hear them talk of their goals. Quite a few told me they were shooting for 200- bushel corn ... 7-ton hay . — 600-bushel potatoes — 60-bushel soybeans ....3500-1b. tobacco ... 70- bushel wheat ... 100-bushel barley ... 25-ton sugar beets...30-ton silage... 135-bushel oats. The Super Q Manufacturers are a select group, jealous of their reputation. Among other things, they must agree to disciplinary action should they fall below the rigid standards. They must pledge to provide soil and crop and managementservices thatwill help Super Qfarmers make more profit. 4 BUilt-in rust inhibitor protects vital parts.

That's because it has been developed to specifications that are double the minimum storage Stability .standards of most I'd like to tell you of the most exciting fertilizer idea I've run across in 30 years of farm reporting. It's an idea that's helping top farmers break through their personal yield barriers to such yields as 130-bushel corn . . 5-ton hay . . 45-bushel soy- beans... 3000-lb. tobacco. The idea is Super Qlt,, a fertilizer so exclusive you can't even buy it . But I'm getting ahead of my story: Two years ago a select group of local manufac- turers were stung into action by a disturbing truth, The top farmers were moving faster than their advisers . . , demanding that fertilizer companies improve their scattergun approach to fertility prob- lems. So, these hometown manufacturers pooled their strength in a giant cooperative effort. They called in the best scientific brains, and handed them this "impossible" assignment: I. Develop the best fertilizer it is humanly possible to make. 2. Forget about price-per-ton. But be dead sure this fertilizer will return the farmer more net profit than any other product on the market. We want to guarantee it will, not just talk about it. 3. Formulate it for the top farmers in each com- munity. We'll refuse to sell it to anyone but the top! 4. Rifle it to fit a specific area . . yes, even a specific moisture level. 5. Make a different fertilizer for corn, for barley, tobacco, wheat, soybeans. 6. Use the best form of nutrients for the crop—not the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer. Wow !Some of those who were called in declared: "You just can't get all those coons up one tree!" But other scientists rose to the challenge.
