MU LIONS HOLD FARMERS' NIGHT Guest Speaker Was Mr Bain Stewart, Agricultural Representative On Thursday evening last at the re- gular supper meeting in Fordwich Church Hall, the Howick Lions Club had as guest speaker, Mr. Bain Stew- art, Agricultural Representative, for Huron County Aliso present as guests were, Mr. H. J. VandeWater, organizer for the County campaign in the 9th. Victory Loan ,and members of the Howick Sales Committee. The Fordwich Women's Institute served a most bountiful repast, for which Lion. Allan Mutro expressed the thanks of the Cab At the conclusion of the supper hour, President Gordon Hargrave, an- nounced several items of business of immediate concern to the Club, and made a strong appeal to the members on behalf of the National Clothing Campaign now in, progress, Lion Glenn Johnston reported on plans made for the Halloween Party to ibe held for Howick school pupils in Ford- wich Arena, on the night of October 31st, It was hoped that a large number of farmers would be present for the meet- ing advertised to follow the supper get-together, but possibly due to the inclement weather and very short not- ice. comparatively few turned out.. That is to be regretted, as it was an excellent opportunity to meet and hear the new Agricultural Representative, Mr. Stewart, who outlined the county program of his office Preceding Mr Stewart's talk, Mr. Van dewater was called on to speak on behalf of the forthcoming loan. He tried to be brief, but succeeded in 9. Bringing to his hearers a good word:- picture of the situation facing the Gov- ernment and our country, in a financial way. In explaining the need he stated that the estimated outlay for the corn- ing year would be $3,900,000,000. Two billions would be raised by taxation, the balance by loans He asked, "Why do we buy Victory Bonds". Firstly, we want to help; secondly, because we know it is the best investment we can make. This may possibly be the last opportunity to buy 3% bonds, the speaker stated, as the Government is committed to a low interest rate pol- icy. Howick citizens had always met or exceeded the Municipality's quotas in previous loans, and he was sure this one would be no exception, but every- one must do his or her share to the very utmost. Mr. Stewart opened his remarks by stating that Agriculture was "big bus- iness", there are 700,000 farmers in the Dominion of Canada, Two things must be done to retain this status, namely, soil conservation and reforcstration. Soil survey is a basis on which to build for the future. Three quarters of Hur- on has been surveyed The pioneers and subsequent generations had been extravagant in clearing the land; now we must reforest to conserve and im- prove the soil, In referring to crop improvement he mentioned the possi- bility of installing seed-cleaning plants, mobile units being the most plausible solution. Weed control had been ne- glected, this must not continue It was difficult to make a seed selection for a whole district, soil and land confor- mation not always being suitable even on adjoining farms. There had been retrogression in quality of live stock as a whole; in this regard he was glad to note that County Council has applica- tion in for T 13. inspection throughout the County as soon as possible. Mark- eting was a big problem, lie emphasiz- ed that it was not over-production, but poor distribution, that created havoc. The Federation of Agriculture must provide leadership in all matters, but every individual must support it. Jun- ior work has a large part in county program; community centres of which one exists in Ontario, should fill a great need, Here a three months' win- ter course in practical agricultural ed- ucation is available It would create community spirit and get parents working as well. Co-operation is es- sential in all things for success. When Mr. Stewart terminated his most informative talk, President Gor- don suggested that anyone who bad questions to ask, now was their titmice and Mr. Stewart readily replied to vat- ions .queries, and stated his willingness and desire to come to Howick again. 100000401.10,4.0000044!0,001000.0,00 01440000.10.0140010140.11 !!!!!! ! ! 00,0 ! 411,411,4441111M400L"4101111"111011111111111"110,11101014 00010,000 ! 0.0000 !! ! wHa.

A definite "yes" is Firestone's answer to the second ques- tion, Wilbur Shaw, the famous race driver, proved it when he drove Firestone tires 500 miles at an average speed of 100.34 miles per hour over the Indianapolis Speedway-- equal to 50,000 miles of ord- inary driving. WHEN you can buy new tires depends largely on UNNRA demands and rationing auth- orities. But yon can be sure that once Firestone is given the go-ahead signal our full production will be devoted to your needs.
