The feeders of beef cattle on feedlots in the counties of Huron, Bruce, Middlesex, Perth, Lambton and Oxford attended a course at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology Announce New Healing Substance: Shrinks Piles Exclusive healing substance proven to shrink hemorrhoids and repair damaged tissue. A renowned research institute has found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- rhoids painlessly It relieves itching and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing of the injured, inflamed tissue. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place Most important of all-results were so thorough that this improve- ment was maintained over a period of many months. This was accomplished with a new healing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue. Now Bio-Dyne is offered in oint- ment and suppository form called Preparation H. Ask for it at all drug stores.

In addition to the College staff being involved in the work sessions, resource people from all over the province of Ontario and as far away as Ottawa were involved. The type of feedlot operators taking part on the course varied in size from between 100-200 cattle and up to 900 cattle. The total number of cattle being produced annually by these people was in excess of 15000 and there were 42 people on the course. The course was divided into two sections. The first section dealing mainly with the feeding and ration formulation for beef cattle and the second session more diverse with manure handling, marketing, feedlot health, and general economics all being included. The strong association which exists between corn production and beef production was also dealt with. As a result of the work sessions, some general points emerged on which there was general agreement - rations for beef cattle must be correct in terms of energy and protein requirements to get the desired average daily gain. The feeds used to provide this energy and protein must be produced cheaply and in sufficient quantity to enable the operator to keep the price of Hereford group elects officers James Smith, RR 2, Brussels, was elected president of the Perth-Huron Shorthorn Association at its meeting in Egmondville United Church, Thursday. He succeeds Clarence Switzer, RR 1, St. Marys. Other officers: First vice-president, Patrick O'Shea, RR 3, Granton; second vice-president, Frank Falconer, RR 5, Clinton; secretary-treasur- ers, Gerald Smith, RR 2, Brussels, and Donald Pullen, Clinton.

The factors which affect average daily gain and the cost of this gain were studied closely. A full afternoon was taken up in looking into the degree of finish required on steers to put the most dollars into the operators pocket and in this connection time was spent looking at the effects of M.G.A. and D.E.S. Two Exeter men arrived in Las Vegas this past weekend for a different reason than you might expect. They didn't go to break the bank in North America's gambling capital. Nor did they go to ogle the chorus girls. Nelson Monteith and G. Abbott of N. T. Monteith Limited in Exeter went to see a new line of International light-duty trucks. In Las Vegas, hundreds of truck dealers from all across Canada saw a colourful theatrical review that introduced District union holds session At district meeting held in Strathroy Arena Wednesday, Dec. 11, 1968, the directors of district five Ontario Farmers Union elected Jerry Huzevka, district director replacing Peter Twynstra, who was elected Second Vice President of the O.F.U. at the annual convention held at Kingston on Nov. 25, 26, and 27. Bill Sims was elected sub-director for Lambton County replacing Mr. Huzevka. Peter Twynstra gave a report on the first meeting of the new provincial board. Nick Syms, Harold White and Jerry Huzevka gave a combined and thorough report on the provincial convention. The unity problem was then discussed. It was the feeling of the meeting that the proper steps were taken at the convention and that unity is achieved at the grass roots level, which the O.F.U. has been successfully doing. Reports from the purchasing committee and the cash crop committee were given. Bill Sims and Hill Stewart co-chaired the meeting with all locals well represented. In the section of feedlot health and diseases the preconditioning of calves and the problem of shipping fever were two major items discussed. Finally the economic considerations of beef production were analysed and the course ended with a panel discussion on what the future holds for the beef producer. the new line of trucks with a flourish. Included in the show were new pickups, Travelall station wagons and the Travelette as well as stake and platform models. They will be on display locally early in the new year. "We put on this razzle-dazzle show because the new trucks are so different than anything we have ever offered before,' commented K. E. Forrest, Motor Truck Sales Manager, International Harvester Company of Canada, Limited who welcomed the local delegation. The light-duty trucks will be manufactured in the United States as a part of the production sharing arrangement that resulted from the Automotive Trade Agreement between Canada and the United States. The International truck plants in Chatham, Ontario builds the cab-over Loadster medium-duty trucks for the total North American market, as well as conventional Loadstars for sale in Canada and parts of the United States. This specialization has made the Chatham plant more efficient and has also increased employment. Planist t MTS.
