Field Day
The Huron County Junior Vann- •
ers held their first 1956 •voecutive
meeting in the agricultural board
rooms, Clinton on Wednesday.
evening, April 25,
A guest at the meeting was
Robert Howie, of Newburgh in the
County of Fife, Scotland. Robert
is spending ten. days in Huron
County, five clays at the home of
Boyd Taylor, R.R. 3, Walton,
member of the North-Huron Jun-
ior Farmers and five clays with
Murray Gaunt, R.R, 1, Lueltnow,
member of the Colwanash Junior
Farmers, On Tuesday, May 1st
he will go to visit members of
the Lincoln Junior Farmers As-
sociation. During a break in the
business meeting, Robert showed
slides of his home and interesting
points in his homeland.
During the past year the Huron
County Junior Farmer improve-
molt competition was enforced
and an additional rule was added
to the rules and regulations for
the competition that is, that a
local Junior Farmer Club may
only win the Harold Baker
Trophy two years in succession
and after a lapse of one year will
again he eligible to compete .for ;
the trophy, This competition was,
open to all of the Junior Farmer
Clubs in the county and designed.
to help the local clubs improvr
their regular meetings thus mak-
ing them more interesting for . all
those concerned.
After a lengthy discussion con-
cerning the annual Perth-Huron ,
Junior Farmer field day. it was'
decided that the events should be
held. in the Seaforth Lions Park
and that the tentative date was
set on June 9th. A new feature
which plans are being made to in-
clude in this year's competition,
is the rifle shooting competition.
A. tentative set of regulations to

mittee, realizing that• many of its
records had been destroyed la the
fire of 1034, Bent out the word fur
and wide to neighbors and •relatives
in its .search for eligible candidates,
Reoults were overwhelming. The
deluge of responses was' gratifying;
the memory of olaimers was
amazing, and the facts disclosed
were fascinating, Old time. farmers
in -Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wis-
consin and other Corn Belt states
came through with tales of live-
stock shipments before 'the turn
of the century and many of them
backed up their stories with re-
cords of sales which time had •aged
but not effaced.
For instance, a friend of Glad-
stone Foster of Earlharn, Ia., wrote
that Foster "had a load of steers
on the Chicago market in 1806; the
day following the election of Presi-
dent MCKinley. A newspaper article
on that day called attention' to. the
fact that'. they topped :-the 'market
and confidence • had been - restored
in .the trade."..' • ' • • -

-der of 'Warrensburg-, Ill,", tapped
his Memory to say: "I thhile•around
October in 1898, I topped the mar-
ket for the week at $5.55 per hun-
dredweight." (Currently Chicago's
top cattle prices have ranged be-
tween $26 and $27 per cwt.) Batchel-
der sent in -a sales slip on 18 head
of cattle sold on March 11, 1897, 15
steers averaging $4.50 per cwt., and
three cows at $2.35 per cwt,
"In 1891," writes D. P. Naeve of
Andover, Ia., "I made. my first trip
to. Chicago with a - Ohipment of
cattle sent by my father. Since
'then, I have made one or more
trips with shipMents of stock every
year. I was. put In charge of feed-
ing operations for my father in
the year of 1906, I have a clipping
of news of 50 years ago where I
received top price of 3640 for 49
fancy Shorthorns."-
The • top guest of honor at the
awards' banquet will - be the oldest
active shipper to, be .selected from
among livestock farmers who have
shipped animals to the Chicago
market for 50 years or more. Each
will receive an appropriate. trophy
in recognition. of his contribution

Powder Post Beetles
May Be Destroying
Your Farm Buildings
Many barns anal farm buildings
are being slowly destroyed by, a
small insect known by the approp-
riate name of powder post beetle,
says Prof. R. A. Ozborn, of the
Department of Entomology, O.A.C.
Often the damage is so gradual
that it is not noticed until the
whole structure is endangered, The
beetle bores into solid timbers,
frames and flooring, leaving • tun-
nels filled with Wood powder. •
The presence of this beetle can
be detected by tiny holes the size
of a pin head on the surface of what
looks to be perfectly solid wood.
Sometimes there may be . a small
amount of powder near the wood,
but this is usually blown away.
Whitewash often . hides the holes,
and makes the wood • look -better
than it is. Beneath' the surface•',of
the wood are hundreds of small
tunnels filled with powder.'
The eggs ate laid in the old
holes, or in cracks, in the wood
in the early summer. The- young•
larvae begin to tunnel into the
, wood as soon as they are hatched,
and ,feed' for a yC'ar or two when
I they pupate and become adults.
These adults bore right through
to the surface, leaving exit holes
that can be readily seen.
II Although the beetle can bo con-
trolled bY fumigation, farm build-
rings - are too open for this treat-
I ment. Prof., Ozborn recommends
the use of a 5 per cent solution of
'Pentachlorophenal as a 'spray for
' the protection of buildings and the •
eradication . of this beetle. Care.
should be taken in using this spray
since it is irritating to the eye
and skin.. The use of. a respira-
tor, rubber gloves, and rubber
clothing is advised.
This spray should be applied at
low pressure (29 to 30 pounds1 at
the rate of one gallon to 70-100
square feet of surface. Special
. fire precautions should be observ-
ed with the use of this Spray, as
the oil base makes it inflammable:.
The premises 'should he ventilated
after treatment. t -
In case of infested homes a two
per cent oil. solution of copper na-
phthenate may be used with equal
effectiveness, : 11
the Belgrave •Co-operative will be
present in. Guelph for the opening
ceremonies today.
Boasting one of the largest feed
warehouses and one of the most
modern feed plants in Canada, the
Guelph operation will 'supply 72
co-operatives located in the south-
western and northern. Ontario. The
remaining 80 co-operatives in the
eastern part of • the province are
presently being supplied by United
Co-operative feed plants at Kompt-
ville and Peterborough, ,
The new Guelph plant will re-
place the two now outdated feed
plants which the United Co-opera-
tives of Ontario own in Guelph.
With a 24-hour capacity of 400
tons, the new plant. will almost
double the preseat capacity of the
two Guelph plants and eventually
will require less manpower.
Main units' of the new plant are
a three-storey warehouse with floor
space of almost 50,000 square feet, •
a modern office and laboratory, .1,2
silos with storage capacity of 84,000 •
bushels and the ••depart-
ment.
Forty mixing bins; 15• ingredient
bins and Six grinder bins, plus the
12 silos give the plant a-total-
big-capacity of almost 150,000
bushels. Mixing is done by a two-
ton "travelling scales." Bulk del-
iveries of grain and ingredients to
the plant are speedily • handled by
a pneumatic unloader. • •
The new Guelph plant is part of
a current million-and-a-quarter-
dollar capital expansion program
of United Co-operatives of Ontario
In charge. of the Guelph plant will.
be Alfred Walberg, manager of the
United Co-operatiVeo of Ontario's
feed department. • -

plant will be held later in .May. Iii
