If your livestock could talk—they'd be ask- ing you for fresh feed ! They dons't relish stale feed any more 'than you d'o. So why give it to them?' Make absolutely sure the feed you give them is. fresh by getting if from your nearby SHUR-GAIN FEED SERVICE MILL. Why are SHUR-GAIN feeds fresh? They are manufactured at frequent intervals —Only as needed. There is no storage, resultinc, a in stale eeds. And this fact is very important be- cause feeds lose feeding value when they become stale through storage. Does it cost more for this freshness? Definitely not SHRU-GAIN feeds are manufactured locally and for that reason' they cost less. Extra transportation charges and middle- men's profits are eliminated and this shows up in the price of the feed. Feed the SHUR-GAIN, WAY! Since SHUR-GAIN feeds are always fresh —since they are so handy to your farm—and since they cost less—surely they are logical feeds for all your livestock. Depend upon them to . help you produce better stock that will be worth more money to you. SEE US ABOUT ALL YOUR FEEDING REQUIREMENTS!

There are twelve such groups in operation and 2 out of 5 farmers are interested in some degree in marketing groups or similar operations, I appreciate the difficulty of organizing the major groups, beef, hogs and poultry. We have not attained our full degree, he said, until the Federatoin of Agricul- ture and other farm organizations bring these producers into marketing groups, There is not the variation in farm products that are well organized as in some others, he said. He praised the farms for the great production they attained to assist in the war 'effort. In ,the 4% months of this year we have shipped to Britain and our Allies twice as much as we did in 1938 This is a tremendous ef- fort of production. We have solved the problem. of production, he said, but not how to get our produce into the hands of the people atil3o want and need them, and who we will expect to sell to in times ahead. This is the No. 1 problem of Canadian agriculture and a solution must be found. • Farmers are interested in a reason- able secure income in the days that are ahead. Price is an important fac- tor, he said, but it is not all. We must multiply this by the number of articles we can market. No industry in Canada to-day is as interested in export markets as the agricultural in- dustry. Prior to the war 50% of farm pro- duction was taken by domestic needs. It is our job to seek gpvernment as- surance that some stability will be put in force in the days ahead. -The pros- perity of agriculture has a greater ef- fect on the nation than any other group of people. We must further in- crease ,our export trade after war, Farm people in co-operation can assist in finding a solution for this problem. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. McKinney by Mr. Douglas Camp- bell, secretary of the Unit, which re- ceived the hearty endorsation of all present.

WAWANOSH REED FEDERATION BANQUET (Continued from page one) Fine" Farm District Mr, McKinney said have not seen a finer part of this province than the 20 miles around Belgrave. The best spring crops I have seen are near Bluevale and Wingham, I am glad to see the interest that brings over 200 people together at this Federation Unit banquet." The purpose of the Federation, he said, was` to attain to unity of farm opinion. Farm organizations and farm folk all over the province must have this so we can present one opinion and voice to government. We must present our opinion to the 8% million consumers of• the Dominion. To do this we must be fair and reasonable, If we do it fairly and well they will assist us. Our job, he declared, is to tity and improve the economic and social wel- fare of our people. Groups such as this will further our movement. There are more Farm Forum groups in Huron, Bruce and Grey than all the rest of Western Ontario, he said. He paid a great tribute to the Radio For- um and said that one thing that gave it great power was the fact that the discussions can take place on any question all across Canada at the same time, This gives us the power to think our way through our problems. This is the most satisfactory method of adult education, he said. Speaking of Economic Welfare, lie said the responsibility will fall on co- operate groups for buying and mark- eting farm products. We have made stable and sound progress through the years and spectacular progress this past five years. He mentioned the fertilizer and grain co-operatives as being spectacular in growth and de- clared we have not yet scratched the surface.
