Dick Heard of London, farm
management specialist of the
Ontario department of agricul-
ture, Monday night addressed
graduates of the first farm
business management night
school course to be held in
Huron County.
The course, which began five
months ago, was held each Mon-
day night at the Central Huron
Secondary School, Clinton, with
D. H, Miles, of Clinton, Huron
County agricultural represen-
tative, as lecturer.
Mr. Heard told the dinner
meeting, attended by more than
100 persons, that efficiency in
agriculture is essential today.
The farm is no longer apiece
for school dropouts, he said.
He emphasized the importance
the wife plays in her husband's
bus in e ss-terming her the
"vice-president of the firm".
Mr. Miles also spoke to the
52 students.

There's no need to gamble with your
herd's future. Sires are available whose
offspring have already been tested in
hundreds of Ontario herds and proven
superior under all conditions. These
sires are co-operatively owned to give
you, at lowest cost, calves that will earn
more and calves you'll be proud of.

Broiler producers
okay market plan
The Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Board reported this
week a majority of the pro-
vince's 1,000 broiler chicken
producers have voted for estab-
lishing a marketing board to
set marketing quotes and pro-
mote sales.
A poll among producers tak-
en last week resulted in a
632-108 vote in favor of the
board. A two-thirds majority
was needed.
Huron County producers vot-
ed 46-11 in favor, while Perth
men gave approval by an 18-4
count.
Under terms of the proposed
plan, broiler producers will set
up a nine-member board which
will be responsible for market-
ing activities including weekly
price negotiations.
Producers will pay a fee of
a tenth of a cent a pound, live
weight, as a marketing licence. Huron farm news

"Agriculture is a changing
profession," he said, "and the
role of the farm family in 1965
has to assume a different re-
sponsibility than in the past.
With this in mind an attempt
is being made to tie in the
whole farm family as a unit
in the production of food in
the future."
The night school had an aver-
age attendance of 48 students,
with 18 having perfect atten-
dance.
Miss Patricia Damude, home
economist for Huron County,

out the goals farm couples and
their family should plan and

Others who spoke were D. J.
Cochrane, school principal, and
Boyd Taylor, of Walton, chair-
man of the school board's agri-
culture committee.
