CHSS student council
Forty-five area beef farmers,
28 from Huron County, took part
in a two-day feedlot management
course last Wednesday and
Thursday, January 20 and 21.
The course was held at Centralia
College of Agricultural
Technology, Huron Park, and was
sponsored by the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
ood.
In welcoming the farmers to
Thank
You
We would like to express our
thanks and appreciation to the
Ontario Hydro, the O.P.P. and the
other brave men that assisted on
snowmobiles, and to anyone else
that helped in any way during last
week's storm. A very special
thank-you to Scott McNair and the
entire staff of the Dufferin Hotel
for all the delicious food and the
kindness shown towards the
6hildren and us.
Harvey, Donna
and Penny Smith
the local College, J. A.
MacDonald, Principal, noted that
new technology is changing the
farm scene so rapidly that farmers
must continually up-date their
information. This was the
purpose of this course.
Lead-off speaker, Dr. Bob
Curtis of the Ontario Veterinary
College, Guelph outlined the
procedures that should be
followed in bringing new cattle
into a feedlot. He felt that
farmers should be demanding
pre-conditioned calves from
Western Canada but the strong
market for calves doesn't
encourage many Western
ranchers to do this. Dr. Curtis also
advised that the farmer and his
veterinarian should form an
alliance — a herd health program
— to combat health problems in
the feedlot.
A feed formulation workshop
was conducted by Stan Paquette,
associate agricultural
representative for Huron and
Doug Jamieson, head, livestock
division, Centralia College. The
latest information on the nutrient
requirements of beef cattle and
the nutrient composition of
common feedstuffs was
discussed. Mr. David Beattie of
the Livestock Division,
Ridgetown College of
Agricultural Technology Outlined
the need for protein supplements
and how these can be supplied by
treating corn silage with urea and
Pro-Sil.
This session ended with the
farmers evaluating the nutrient
adequacy and cost of their own
rations.
A lively workshop developed
on the topic of feedlot economics
presented by Mr. John Stephens,
Head of the Farm Business
Management Division, Centralia
College. Many feedlot operators
found that the large investment in
feedlot facilities and feed storages
was increasing production costs
and lowering profits
dramatically. However, several
indicated that these facilities
Life as usual
at Centralia
By DAVE DeS OUSA
During the storm, life at
Centralia College went on very
much the same as usual. Mainly
because all or most of our staff
and students were on campus.
Classes went on as usual. The
Cafeteria is well stocked so there
was no problem as far as food was
concerned.
The major problem was
finding cars and getting them
started,
On Wednesday night, and
Thursday afternoon the boys had
all the cars out of the enormous
drift which covered the parking
lot behind the Men's Residence.
In one case, a tunnel was dug
into the drift to get one of the
cars out. Even when the car was
out, there was about 4 feet of
solid snow packed on top of the
tunnel.
All in all, Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology was
O.K. and in some cases fun was
had.
were needed or they could not
remain in the beef industry.
Mr. Allan Boswell of the
Economics Branch, Canada
Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, painted a bright future
for beef producers. He noted that
beef consumption per capita as
well as the human population
continues to increase. Several
factors point to the restocking of
beef cow herds in Western Canada
and this should lead to more and
cheaper feeder calves. He
predicted that fed cattle prices
would remain near the present
level for the next year or two.
At the course banquet, Mr.
G rae m e Hedley, Secretary
Manager of the Ontario Beef
Improvement Association
brought producers up to date on
Association activities. He
reviewed the development of
Canfax, a telephone market
information service now available
to beef producers subscribers
across Ontario. Huron was the
first county in Ontario to set up
this service. '
Dr. Ron Usborne, Head of the
Meat Science Section of the
Department of Animal Science,
University of Guelph talked on
the development of a new grading
system for beef carcasses. The
drafted proposals will be
presented later this winter to the
Meat Packers Council and the
Federal Government.
A local feedlot owner, Mr.
Clarence Hardy of Lucan also
participated in a panel discussion
on beef marketing.
Assisting in the planning of the
course were Stan Paquette,
Clinton, course coordinator;
Ralph McCartney, Area Beef
Specialist, Guelph; Doug
Jamieson, Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology; Dick
Heard, London and Jack Hagarty,
Stratford both area Farm
Management Specialists arid
Extension Branch Coordinators.
A debt of $1150 incurred by
the 1963 students' council at
Central Huron Secondary School
in Clinton was the topio of some
discussion Monday evening at the
regular board meeting of the
Huron County Board of
Education.
A letter from the school's
principal, R, J. Homuth, said that
in 1963, the students' council at
CHSS passed a motion to
purchase bleachers for the new
auditorium at a cost of $4950
with the stipulation that each
year $500 would be paid to the
school board until the debt was
paid. To date, the sum of $3800
has been paid to the board, the
letter stated.
With the rising costs and
obligations to the students'
council, as well as the fact that it
is deemed unfair for the 1963
students' council to expect each
succeeding students' council to
accept an obligation to pay for
equipment which "probably
should have been the
responsibility of the school
b o a rd," Principal Homuth
requested the board to clear this
"outstanding debt from their
.books."
"Those bleachers have
certainly added to the assets of
the school board," Homuth
wrote, "and they have often been
used during functions in which
the student body played no
part."
The board has appointed a
committee of Dr. Alex Addison,
John Taylor and Garnet Hicks to,
look into the matter. As well, the
committee has been instructed to
take a look at all student council
operations in the county.
"It's a very large question,"
warned Mrs. J. W. Wallace. She
suggested the board might get
into the whole matter of whether
or not students' council are
paying for certain services which
the school board should be
supplying.
F. E. Madill, a superintendent,
told the board the students'
councils in the county might take
the attitude that they raise the
money themselves and should be
allowed to spend it as they see fit.
Chairman. Bob. Elliott said,
'The students' council at CUSS is
asking us to forget this. We're not
asking to run their affairs,"
Some board members felt that
if students' councils are to learn
anything about the working of
government from their
experiences, they must learn that
one must live up to their
commitments.
"If one students' council
makes bargain or signs an
agreement which involves the
students' council of the next
year, that students' council must
honor the agreement just the way
municipal councils and boards
honor the contracts made by
their predecessors," one board
member stated.
Road rate higher
Although the Huron County
Road committee was unable to
have its 1971 budget and program
ready for the January session of
Huron County Council, Jim
Britnell, Huron County engineer,
predicted the mill rate would not
rise this year in Huron.
"Despite rising costs most
residents of the county will be
required to contribute the same
or less to our 1971 budget than
they did to our 1970 ntrdget
because of fiscal restraints both
voluntary and imposed by
Department of Highways of
Ontario policy," said Britnell.
Plan conference
on farm safety
The 13th Annual Farm Safety
Conference will be held at the
Skyline Hotel, Toronto,
February 9 and 10.
Mr. Hal Wright,
Secretary-manager of, the farm
safety council of Ontario, said the
keynote speaker at the
conference would be Sister
Thomas Moore, head of the
department of social science,
Holy Family College, Manitowoc,
Wisconsin.
There will be three workshops
on eye, ear and nose hazards. The
breakfast speaker on February
10, from the Ontario Provincial
Police, will discuss "Farm
accident prevention from the
O.P.P. point of view."
Mr. Don Brown, a
postgraduate student from the
University of Guelph, will discuss
a safety motivational survey
conducted in 1970.
The Annual Meeting of the
Farm Safety Council will be held
on the evening of February 8.
Further details on the conference
can be obtained by contacting
Mr. Hal Wright, School of
Engineering, University of
Guelph.
