Saddle club ends season The Exeter Saddle club wound up their 1966 activities with a banquet at the Dufferin Hotel in Centralia. December 9, More than 50 area riding en- thusiasts were in attendance to see the season trophies presented to the top competitors of the club. The guest speaker of the even- ing was James Pratt of Sarnia, an approved Quarter Horse judge, who spoke on horsemanship and youth activities. The challenge trophy was pre- sented by the donor, Len Vert, to Wilmer Preszcator who ac- cumulated a total of 126 points for high horse and rider honors in the club's open shows. Run- ner-up was Gordon Wadds of Lon- don with 114 points. In the junior equitation division two local youngsters were dead- locked for the top spot with 20 points each. Janet Ecker receiv- ed a trophy from the Saddle club and Wayne Preszcator took home a Dr. Don Ecker donated trophy. Door prizes and spot dance awards were won by Mrs. Ken Faber, Joanne Hicks and Mark Coolman. Peace On Earth The following is the report given to County Council by Doug Miles. Agricultural Representa- tive. I am very pleased to once again have this opportunity of presenting a formal report of the year's activities of the Extension Branch of the Department of Agriculture and Food for Huron County. I will only present the high- lights and some of our obser- vations. as your Clerk-Treasurer receives a detailed report of our year's activities in April. Again there have been a few changes in the Extension Branch staff in our office. We have with us a new Home Economist, Miss Sharon Carroll. She has replaced Miss Diane Liddiard who left our office in July. Don Pullen, Associate Agricultural Representative will report to you on the 4-H and Junior Farmer 111111111111111111111111111111111111191111111111111111111111111111 Rec news By J. E. BURT LTJCAN ...... 111111111111111t1111111111111111111111111111 lllllllllllll In the South Middlesex Hockey League last Thursday night Dec. 15, it was Ailsa Craig defeating the Lucan Merchants by a score of 4-1. This was Lucan's fourth defeat in a row after running a streak of five consecutive wins. This loss sting has been without the presence of their playing coach Harry Wraith, so you bet- ter get back in there Harry before the team ends up in the cellar. The second game of the night was a real thriller, with real fast from end to end rushes, by both Lee & Stewart and Ilder- ton, with some very fabulous saves by both goalies. Finally at 19:37 of the final frame Brian Parkinson dented the Twine for Ilderton to give them a 1-0 win over Lee & Stewart. The final game between Edge- wood and Concrete Pipe ended in a 6-6 deadlock. The standings at present are Craig in first place with 16 points followed by Lucan and Lee & Stewart with 13, then Concrete Pipe with 11, Ilderton 10 and Edgewood in last place with eight points. In minor hockey here at the Centre Friday night Dec. 16, it was Ilderton hosting the Stoney Brook teams in pee wee. It was Stoney Brook over Ilderton 7-0; in bantam it was a 2-2 tie and in midget it was 9-0 for Stoney Brook. This Friday December 23 it is the Lucan Irish taking on these same three teams Stoney Brook that is, first game 7 n.m. activities of the year. Our Agricultural E nginee r, Burt Moggach, is taking a big part in Extension and at present, is working in both Huron and Perth. Also in the office, we have Russ Bradford, with the Dairy Branch of the Department of Agriculture and Food, who is striving to help the farmer pro- duce a quality milk product. Another addition to our staff this past year is David Inglis working as an Extension Assis- tant, We also have a very cap- able assistant to the Engineer, Don. Holmes. Our clerical work has been handled very capably by Mrs. Ethel Ball, Miss Carol Taylor and NI:7 S . Maxine Aiken. There appears to be an in- crease in the production of crops in Huron, and not surprisingly because Huron is one of the most specialized agricultural areas in the Province. As in the past few years, Hur- on still remains as one of the top producers in the Province. This is shown in the 1965 Ag- ricultural Statistics for Ontario. For example Huron stood first with total cattle at 207,170 head. Again Huron was first in poultry with 1,896,400 birds. In field crops, Huron was first with a total acreage of 386,730. As for value of these crops, Huron was third with a value of $24,408,910.00. Huron also stood first in dry bean acreage and first in bar- ley acreage. These figures show us how far and how fast Huron is advancing agriculturally. Agriculture in Huron County is booming and more farmers are becoming aware that edu- cation is essential, This is shown by their eagerness to participate in the Farm Management Cour- ses. This season, 1966-67, there are three locations for these courses: Fordwich, Clinton and Wingham. The enrolment totals just over 100. Every farmer today requires training in order to make the best use of his income, to make decisions, and to advance in his profession. One of the biggest events in Huron County this year, has been the International Plowing Match. This was the second match in Huron, as we had one 20 years ago in 1946 at Port Albert. Al- though the weather was against us this year, I feel it was a success. There seemed to be some inward force that drew the people out even though the wea- ther was bad. The farmers in Huron County and all those concerned should be congratulated for all the work they did in connection with the Plowing Match. The Centennial. Farmstead Improvement Com- petition was held in connection with the Plowing Match, There were 12:3 entries from farmers in the various townships of Heron County. This was a very keen competition and created a great deal of interest among the home owners of Huron County. Congratulations should go to the winner Mr. Bill Gerritts, #1, Clinton, in Goderich Town- ship for the excellent job he did in Farmstead Improvement. All the contestants deserve a word of congratulations for the work they did to make Huron Cou ety a more picturesque farming com- munity. Economically, this past year has been a fairly bright one for our farm people. Beef prices have remained steady and there .seems to be an increasing de- mand for choice cattle, The prices at the beginning of the year looked promising and have held up quite well to date. The average price for choice steers is approximately $1.00 per hun- dred weight more this year than last. Milk flow in Huron County has remained normal to a slight in- crease. It looks like the farmer is becoming quality milk con- scious, and this is as it should be. Due to certain happenings on the farm front, the price of milk has gone up for manufac- tured milk. This should give the dairy farmer more income and encourage him to stay in this enterprise, The swine industry in Huron looks very promising with the prices remaining quite high over the year. Huron County has in- creased considerably inthe num- ber of hogs on farms and also increased in the number of sows farrowing. The Yorkshire herd of W. E. Turnbull and Son of RR 2 Brus- sels, should be commended for being the first herd in Ontario to qualify under the Elite Herd Policy for swine. This policy is designed to encourage swine breeders to establish and main- tain herds that have achieved high standards in respect to per- formance, type and herd health. Again this year, we would like to congratulate Bob Fothering- ham for winning the World Hay Championship, the second year in a row, and the World White Bean Championship at the Royal Winter Fair. It is interesting to note that Huron has wan the Hay Championship six out of nine times and again Huron can be declared the top hay county in the world. Crops in the County yielded well. It seemed that some crops did exceptionally well and others were slightly lower than pre- vious years. This was mainly due to the dry weather condit- ions of July and a heavy rain in early June. For example, white bean yields were down on those acres planted early, and up to normal on those planted late. Spring grain yields were slightly down due to the dry weather of July. A crop that did do quite well was corn, both shelled and ensilage corn. Shelled corn yields in most cases were up but this may be due to the ideal weather conditions for har- vesting. Fodder corn was a good level but yields varied from field to field. Huron prodeced an excellent crop of hay with outstanding yields and quality, although near the end of summer, pastures suffered considerably. In this past year, we have seen a greater trend toward haylage production. Farmers in Huron are eager to try new ideas and new ways. You can't help notice a few in- novators in Huron and this is a good thing. There has also been an increase in the storing of high moisture corn. The farmers of Huron are realizing that in order to go ahead, they must try these new ways. Again, we would like to express our thanks to the members of Huron County Council for the financial support they give to the many organizations. This is the kind of thing that will build agric- ulture in Huron and make our farmers strive for higher ideals. We would like to thank the press, the radio, and TV for their interest and support in the work that we do by promoting our educational programmes and in transmitting agricultural hews. It has been a great pleasure for all our office staff to serve the farm people of Huron County. May the Centennial year of 1967 be the greatest year for Huron County Agriculture.
