Huron County Federation
of Agriculture
Area Office: Vanastra, Box 429, Clinton
Speakers
available for meetings
The speakers roster set by the Huron
Federation of Agriculture in 1978 has
proven highly successful, says co-ordinator
Doug Fortune. The idea of the roster
originated with a public speaking course
sponsored by the Federation in March 1978
and repeated in 1979. Most of the speakers
involved are graduates of the courses.
Letters were sent to all of the service
clubs in the County explaining the program
which is designed to enhance com-
munications and understanding between
farmers and consumers. To date topics
have ranged from "How I became a pig
lady" to energy conservation, pollution
and erosion control, farmer/ consumer
relations, marketing boards an a number
of farm -urban related subjects.
Speakers report that there has been a
good deal of interest at the meetings they
have attended with question and answer
periods after the speeches being very lively
and often running past time limits. Fortune
says that if any service club has been
missed or any other organization wishes to
make use of the speakers available, to
contact him at 335-3801 and he will try to
find a speaker for any farm related topic
desired.

membership increasing
Fears that membership in the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture would decline
when the membership was increased to $50

October 1st when the increase was known,
there has been a slight increase in
membership.
