Mr, Bell said that generally the ProgreasiVe Conservative Association of Ontario has the duty of co-ordinating the activi- ties of local associations, and in assuring that the Party remains strong, making certain that we will continue to enjoy the govern- ment of our choice. He freely admitted that "we are behind schedule in our programme, and the Association in 1965 had to postpone a large number of dis- trict meetings and other func- tions because of the federal cam- paign which engaged the energies of the party workers." County Council will continue fox bounty County council rejected a move to discontinue the bounty on foxes, and at the same time instructed the clerk to notify municipal. clerks "that all ears must be clipped from foxes." Reeve Grant Stirling, Goderich township, voiced a suspicion that not all local clerks are clipping the ears from foxes submitted for bounty. , Reeve Carl Dalton, Seaforth, moved that the bounty be discon- tinued for 1966, effective Feb- ruary 1. A recorded vote found only Reeve Borden Cook of Blyth voting with the two Seaforth mem- bers. Thirty-five answered the roll call with "No." Reeve Procter, Morris, said: "Rabid foxes should be destroy- ed, and I don't think we should discontinue the bounty. Pelts in the summer are of no value. Reeve Dalton; Nobody is going to take a fox in summer, when he can get it in the fall and collect $17." Reeve McKenzie, A s hfiel d: "We get as many in the summer as any time, but we are not interested in the pelts." Clerk-treasurer Berry ex- plained that the bounty Is $4, of which is recovered from the province. The total paid might be $1,500 or $2,000 in a year. Deputy reeve Everett Men- wain, Goderich township, raised the point as to what the practice is In other counties-tails or ears, but it was ruled that the idea was only to ensure uniform- ity in Huron. The recent open season for deer suited Ellwood Epps of Clin- ton, who wrote saying he sold $1,000 worth of licenses.

That's the comment of many large, successful growers of soybean and fieldbean crops. Treflan stops weeds before they start to grow by killing the weed seed as it germinates. The result, you get greater yielding crops be- cause there's more nutrients, moisture and light for your crops; less time-consuming harvesting stoppages caused by weeds; and more efficient use of fertilizer.

North 6oderith 524.9437 Collect All feeder systems look good, but it is hard to know which is best for your operation. Feed carts, chain and slat conveyors, and shuttle-stroke feeders are only three choices. Fence-line feeders filled by a self loading wagon, and lazy- Susan feed bunks around silos also offer labor-saving features. However, augers offer the most variety in machine designs, each having components which could hinder or boost your live- stock operation. According to Martin Wrubleski, Extension Engineering Special- ist, Ontario Department of Agri- culture, the simplest type is an auger, usually 9 inches in dia- meter, rotating down a feed bunk between two 2 x 10 planks above the bottom of the trough. Raising and lowering the auger and planks controls the amount of silage spread, and the feed bunk can even be 150 feet long. The advan- tages, Mr. Wrubleski relates, are its low installation price and ease of expansion:ot Howevey, the high power requirement - 2 hp per 50 feet - and possible feed jamming in the first section of the feeder as the motor starts up are not in this auger's favor. "Another type is the tube-type feeder; the auger rotates inside a metal tube", notes Mr. Wrub- leski. "Some feed openings are regularly spaced along the tube. Others offer simultaneous distri- bution along the auger's length By MRS.

Mr. & Mrs. Harry Barnes of The Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, is organizing participation by Canadian firms in 35 international trade fairs this year. The Sauble elm located in Aniabel Township, Bruce County/ is reputed to beOnturik?s largest living tree. The tree stands close to the bank of Sauble River from which it derived its name. Un- fortunately, it has been infected with the Dutch elm disease. Ap- proximately 1/3 of the leaves in the crown of the tree turned yellow, then brown and began falling off during this past sum- mer. This Is the most notice- able symptom of the Dutch elm disease, as well as a couple of other wilt diseases found in the elm. Towering 125 feet into the sky, this gigantic elm stands well above all surrounding elms. The clear .bole measures 35 feet. The di am e t e r breast height measured outside bark is 80.3 Inches, This tends to be an ex- aggerated figure as the butt swell is very pronounced at point of measurement which is 4 1/2 feet above the ground level. The actual age of the tree is un- known. It is doubtful if an ac- curate ring count could be made following cutting of the tree be- cause considerable butt rot is evident. In 1959 the tree was brought to the attention of the Sauble Valley Conservation Auth- ority by Dr. W. Sherwood Fox of London, Ontario, the noted author of the book "The Bruce Beckons". Following this, the STORE APPLIANCES AUTOMOTIVE guests at the dinner given by the Ontario department of agricul- ture.

Richard Heard of London, was guest speaker. He is farm man- agement specialist with the Ont- ario agriculture department for nine counties In Southwestern Ontario. The leaders set Dec 2 for the annual 4-H achievement night. Other business conducted in- cluded plans to continue with 4-H club demonstrations; to again sponsor a 4-H gate sign com- petition; to conduct a 4-H bus trip to the University of Guelph; and to give more advanced work on an organized basis to the Senior 4-H club members. Mr. Pullen reported the or- ganizational meetings for the 1966 club will start during the Easter holidays. LUBCO GREASE 10 Pkg. Cases 25 lb. Pail auto. defrost SALE 239.95 Reg.

One type has openings on the top of the tube so that, when the tube is full, it can be rotated to dis- charge silage along the entire bunk. With this system, a farmer could feed one group of cattle on one side of the bunk, then refill the feeder with a different ration to feed cattle on the other side -- all using the same auger! How- ever, frozen silage could seize up this feeder, and the higher cost is a barrier to use in small operations." In deciding your feeder setup, the overhead-swinging-arc feeder also offers advantages. In this type, a stationery conveyor carries the feed to a pivoting auger enclosed in a pipe. The delivery end of this auger then rides back and forth along a track over a semicircular bunk. The bunk can be 75% of a circle in area, the length being deter- mined by its radius, which is the length of the swinging auger. Such a system is less expensive be- cause a length of auger can feed 4.5 times its length, and when an auger costs approximately$10.00 per foot, this type is worth con- sidering. The drawback is that the area between the pivot point and the feed bunk Is inconvenient to clean. What, then, is the best type of feeder? "Unfortunately, the best is the most expensive, aJ-trough feeder", replies Mr. Wrubleski. "There is less trouble with freez- ing." In this type, the auger is partially enclosed by a one-sided trough, the other side being ad- justable in height. Among its other features, the J - trough feeder can boast even feed dis- tribution along its entire length. A deflector can be used to feed one side of the bunk and then the other so that, like one of the aforementioned tube feeders, it can also be used to feed different rations to each group of cattle.
