Directors of the Huron County
Holstein Club made plans at a
recent meeting for a judging
school this year.
A eemrnittee, including How-
ard Feagan, William Clutton
and Sandy Bissett, all of Goder-
ich, and Gordon Bell, of St.
Marys, fieldma.n for the Hol-
stein-F riesian Association,
will arrange a date and location.
Other events planned for the
year include a dairy day at the
University of Guelph Feb. 24;
a calf sale, March 27 at Shore

Holstein classic sale May 24,
also at Shore; a barn meet on

den and Sons, RR 1 Clinton.
President Harold Gaunt,
Lucknow, welcomed two new
directors, Fred Vodden, of RR
1 Clinton, and John McAllister,
of RR 1 Centralia to the execu-
tive. Mr. Gaunt was named to
represent the club on the Huron
County Federation of Agricul-
ture.
The directors approved plac-
ing the Holstein Journal, a na-

with private industry.
spoke were Highways Minister
MacNaughton, John Spence, (L-
Kent), Neil Olde (PC-Middlesex

finances of the firm. He was
told it was in good shape.
Mr. MacNaughton said there
"That is the last thing I
would want to do," the min-
ister told the delegation.
Mr. Stewart said it was his
impression that only the bean
board directors wpuld be ap-
pearing before him and he asked
Why there were so many grow-
ers on hand.
First speaker for the bean
growers was Roy Downing of
Lambeth County.
He was followed by Ken Pat-
terson, of Middlesex, who pre-
sented the growers' requests;
D. Ferguson, of Elgin; Robert

Guest speaker Otis Mc-
Gregor, of Chatham, assistant
secretary-manager of the On-
tario Wheat Producers' Mar-
keting Board, said that in the
six years the board has been
operating no two years have
been the same. "There have
been wide fluctuations — and
there have been times that the
market has teetered.
"However, this past year has
been vastly different. The board
purchased 4,600,000 bushels out
of the 12,000,000 bushels mar-
keted in Ontario. At present
2,600,000 bushels are unsold.
Mr. Bolton, who chaired the
meeting, reported that Huron
County had 892 growers in 1963
(1964 figures are not known at
this time), who grew 14,500
acres with a production of 623,-
500 and marketed 429,674 bush-
els.
The average per-acre yield
was 43.0 bushels.

freight program
Nineteen members of Fair-
field Farm Forum met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray
E 11 iott to discuss Canada's
freight rate program.
After considerable discus-
sion members felt that farm
policy including one of feed
freight assistance should at-
tempt to equalize opportunities
in all provinces for "We be-
lieve the welfare of one person
is the same as another and all
should get a good living and
not just a mere existence."
In regard to future feed grains
policy members didn't come up
with any suggestions being
fairly well satisfied with the
present policy.
Next week's meeting will be
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William Schroeder.
Near the end of a 2 1/2 hour
meeting at Queen's Park Fri-
day, Agriculture Minister Stew-
art bluntly informed 50 bean
growers from Western Ontario
that he was sending auditors to
look into financial dealings be-
tween the Ontario Bean Grow-
ers' Marketing Board and its
subsidiary, the Ontario Bean
Growers' Limited.
The growers had asked the
minister for permission to have
the two organizations continue
joint operations in the face of
reported threats the agriculture
department would close clown
the London-based bean plant.
A succession of grower s
lauded the work of the bean
board and grower-owned firm,
Conditions were never bet-
ter, they told the minister and
officials of the government's
Farm Products Marketing
Board.
The minister said that, after
examination of the books of
the two organizations and an
inquiry into the general op-
erating effectiveness of both,
the department might be able
to sit down with the growers
and resolve the issue.
The growers were told by
the minister and George Mc-
Cague, chairmen of the farm
products marketing board,
that they have been oper at i ng
outside government marketing
legislation.
This, the minister said, could
not be tolerated. In stiff lan-
guage, he informed them the
firm of Price-Waterhouse and
Co., of Toronto, would begin its
inspection on Feb. 8.
Until It was finished the re-
quest of the growers would be
deferred.
The bean board and growers'
firm sought authority to expand
facilities.
The minister cited the de-
cision rendered by the Supreme
Court in 1957, which said what
the bean board has been doing
is illegal.
Mr. Stewart and Mr. McC ague
denied they had ordered the
London plant closed.

At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer may look very
much like most other kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important
difference. Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones
consist of a dry mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can com-
pare it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out
a handful of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong
balls—and that is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers.
Every granule of SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer contains the guaran-
teed plant food elements in the right proportion.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with
any broadcast-type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the
smallest to the largest) of free-running SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fer-
tilizer is nutritionally balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of
complete and even intake of all the plant food by your crops. There are no
excesses in one area and starvation in another with SHUR-GAIN.
Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from SHUR-GAIN
—the finest fertilizer for your good earth!

THE FARMERS' ALMANAC
Remember the Farmers' Almanac that hung on the
wall in the kitchen just below the big calendar from the
feed dealer? After the passing of December, low twelve
in the year's cycle, the mailman left the familiar, news-
print covered booklet in the box by the roadside and the
countryman put a string through the punched hole in the
upper left hand corner and hung it on the nail. Along with
the seed catalogs, the almanac was the herald of a new
season. For those who live close to the land know that when
the grayness of December is over, the year will slide
downhill to springtime with increasing momentum.
Time was when the almanac was a major part of the
reading in farm and village homes. On the winter's even-
ing when a norther was moaning and howling around the
house, it was good to sit in the combined kitchen-dining-
living room. While the young folks did their lessons around
the big table with its red and white checked cloth and
Mother sat in her Boston rocker working at the never-
quite-caught-up mending, Father reclined in his old
Morris chair. After he had gone through the weekly paper
and the farm journals, he often took the almanac and re-
read the satisfying familiar writings. "One good thing
about an almanac", he would observe, "you know what
you're going to read. There's too much unrest and too
many new-fangled notions in the world. You never know
what it will be when you pick up a newspaper. In the
almanac there is something that's as steady as the granite
rocks on the pasture hillside."
Surprising thing is that after decades of continuous
publication countless farm families (and many city farm-
ers) still avidly read the almanac. In addition to the large
number of astronomical calculations and the farmer's
calendar for every month in the year, there appears a
variety of new, useful and entertaining material. There
is good information on farming, gardening, living; all
sorts of helpful lore. There are jokes and conundrums,
poems and recipes; and the weather predictions for a
year ahead are to be pondered and studied. Old fashioned?
Yesi But the almanac still has a warm welcome in the
homes of the people who carry on humanity's greatest
enterprise, the tilling of the soil.
