I recall a few instances where
wit was at its height. These are
all true, one hundred per cent.
At a banquet in Toronto (1932)
in connection with the Canadian
National Exhibition, Mcwor
Martin of Montreal was guest
speaker. At the conclusion of iris
speech Elwood Hughes, president
of llie C.N.Ri. asked him to name
two or 3 what lie considered the
main attractions Toronto had
over other citites. Mtayor Martin
stood up and said. the Canadian
:National Exhibition, (loud ap-
plause), The Kansas Farmer,
(a little applause), and the four
o'clock train to Montreal, (no.
applause). At Presque Isle, at the
State Fair for Maine, the Governor
of Idaho and the Governor of
a‘liaine had a potatoe picking
contest. Two bushels of spuds
were put in two rows in front of
the grandstand. Each Governor
was given a pail and a sack.,
Well, the Main man was winner
and the Idaho governor ex-
plained why. He said that in
Idaho the potatoes were so muck
bigger the contest was unfair. In
Idaho you picked by sight, in
(Main you had to feel for them.
At North Sydney exhibition in
2933, the booth got on' fire. This
booth was situated in front, and.
Attached to the granstand. The
fire looked to be getting out of
,control and people commenced
getting excited. The entertainer
Walked unto the platform and
Said, please sit down and remain
calm. The fire department is
- :Within sight, and, anyway, its.
Only the grease that is burning,
That is why we call them hOt
dogs. What an entertainer, the
only Singing violinist in the
World. The next incident, which
Was not meant to be witty, took
place at Orono Pair, 1961. Tha
main attraction for the first
first night show was the choosing
and crowning of "Miss Tobacco'
Queen for that year; Direr twenty
girls were judged and finally a

A'NGUS BULL GAINS
457 LBS. IIN 140 DAYS
A co-Operatively owned A.I. bUll
hoW holds the daily gain record
ter Angus on Ontario Ferro--
Mance Test.
Sunmound Epton Blackcap, bred
by W. L. Knowles & Sons, Bye-
MOM., Alberta, was purchased as
a calf by Central Ontario and
Waterloo Cattle Breeding Assoc-
iations and was placed on test at
the government test station at
Arkell in Ontario. Me gained an
average of 3.26 lbs, per days for
a. total gain of 457 148: over the
140 day test period. His yearling
weight was 1036 poulida, and he
came off the test weighing 1155
lbs. at 407 days of age.
The freezing techniques now
used in artifiCial insemination
makes it possible for this bull to
be used by many hundreds of
breeders throughout Canada and
the rest of the world,
He will be in regular service
in Ontario in the thirteen count-
ies from Lake Huron to Peter-
horo, the area served by Water-
loo and central Ontario breed-
jug units. ge will als0 be reg-
ularly available in Western
(lanada through the facilities of
Western Animal. Breeders liervice.
Researchers report that fast.
gaining cattle produce beet most
economically, and that beet pro-
duction is inherited to a high
degree. High rate of gain bulls
thus are used by cattlemen' to
produce fast growing econom-
ically fed cattle. Throtigh con,
tinned use of these high gain
Sires, average gro*th rate of
herds can be built up increas-
ing economy, turnover and profit. •
