And do you remember how you got the money for it? The dimes and quarters you saved out of your allowance weren't enough. So you earned extra change doing chores, Slowly, so slowly, the total grew. Then, one great day, the bike was yours! 'You learned then about the necessity for saving to get some of the things you want most. But has time dimmed your memory of the lesson you learned so long ago? If so, remember — nothing has changed your needs for money in the future. Nor has any magic substitute been found for thrift. Today, millions of Canadians are practising their good habit of thrift by keeping up their life insurance payments to pretect their families, while saving for the future.

The story is usually the same—a part of the farm which for various reasons could not produce in proportion to labour expended. These pockets of land usually range in size from a fraction of an acre to those of sev- eral' acres, It is unfortunate that these pockets of land are stripped of forest cover , originally, and that it was necessary to find out the hard way that such land would prove unsuitable for Ag- ricultural purposes.

Each acre or fraction of an acre reforested means that we are that much closer to hav- ing a more favourable balance be- tween agricultural land and forested land. Recognizing the importance of hav- ing the co-operation of as many as possible in this very broad scheme of reforestation, the Department of Lands and Forests provides the ser- vices of qualified personnel and trees, both free of charge. Upon request, your Zone Forester will discuss any reforestation problem, and make ap- plication for trees, Do not hesitate to do something about those idle pockets of land. The sooner they can be reforested, the sooner they can once again become a productive and worthwhile part of our country.

J, Fleuty The town council used to hire a man to ring the big bell at the town ball at 7 a,m,, 12 noon, 1 p.m. and 6 Pm. At one time the bell ringer was a man getting well along in years. One day he went to the hall a few minutes early; so he sat down and went to sleep, At 12,30 he awakened and duly rang the bell, People came running lfrom all directions, where's the fire? Just a false alarm, The old man went to sleep, and the crowd dispersed, good-naturedly. On another day the bell-ringer to amuse himself went fishing. He went across Scott's prairie to the river, threw in his line until drowsiness overcame him as he sat on the river bank. Result, he fell into the river, Self preservation is a strong factor, and he was lucky enough to be able to scramble out. Then he lost his ambition to fish and wended his way home again for dry clothes. It was a wonder he didn't drown. FEDERATION NEWS by Gordon M. Greig Hog Producers Annual Meeting Huron County Hog Producers' As- sociation held its annual meeting in the Agricultural Board Room in Clinton, on Friday, January 25th. Guest speaker for the meeting was Norman McLeod df Waterloo County, who is a member of the Ontario Hog Producers' Marketing Board, Mr. IVIcLeocl in his remarks out- lined the position that the hog indus- try is in at the present time and steps leading up to the present decision to set up a central marketing agency, for the sale of all hogs in Ontario, Following his address Mr, McLeod answered many questions concern- ing the Marketing agency .and the future plans of the marketing board. A resolution was passed by the meeting asking that the Ontario Hog Producers' Association press for legislation that will enable the assoc- iation to make a deduction from the price of hogs to set up a fund large enough to be used to stabilize the market, President McKercher of the County Federation in his remarks to the meeting stated that Huron County has been reported to he opposed to the Central Marketing agency for hogs, He advised that if the Hog Pro- ducers of Huron County were not satisfied that the agency was a r;ood thing for the industry they should oppose it and make their opinions heard in Provincial meetings. How- ever Mr. McKercher advised the Huron County Hog Producers to throw their weight behind the central marketing agency if the majority of the producers within the province voted for the central agency. Last year's committee was again elected to represent the county in 1952. They are Mr. Orval Taylor of Belgrave; Mr, Harry Sturdy of Au- burn and Mr, Bert Lobb of Holmes- vine. The annual meeting of the Ontario Hog Producers' Marketing Board will be held in Toronto during the early part of March. The question of Daylight saving time is causing farmers some concern in Huron County. Last week it was discussed by many of the Farm For- urns in the County and there seems to be a feeling that daylight saving time is not in the best interest of Agriculture and should be discontin- ued. A request has been sent from Hur- on County to have the Ontario Farm Radio Forum discuss daylight saving WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1952 M11.1111M111111M1 time on a Provincial Broadcast to bring out the importance of this question before another summer sea- son comes along.
