HOG WAISTLINES
Gilts should be permitted to
gain 100 pounds during the
first breeding season. In subse-
quent periods, a 75 -pound gain
is adequate. A sow should
weigh the same after each lit-
ter is weaned. Weight gained
during the dry period is nearly
all lost during the farrowing
and nursing period.

C. R. Coultes Reports on
Co-op Directors' Tour
BELGRAVE-The Belgrave Co-
operative Association held its
annual meeting and banquet on
Tuesday of last week in the
Foresters' Hall, Grace was said
by Stewart Procter, Sam Pletch
thanked the ladies of the Wo-
men's Institute for catering
and president Mrs. Stanley
Cook replied.
Head table guests were in-
troduced by Ronald Coultes and
included Ross Robinson, Jack
Wickstead, Arnold Bruce, Leslie
Bolt, Sam Pletch, Clarence
Chamney, Cliff Robb, Bill Con-
nell, Charles Coultes, Ralph
McMillan, Jack Taylor, Mel
Craig, Cliff Pettigrew, Stewart
Procter and Ronald Coultes.
Margaret Nicholson, accom-
panied by Mrs.John Nixon sang,
"Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and
"Galway Bay". Clarence Cham-
ney introduced the guest speak-
er, Cliff Pettigrew of Hanover,
who was thanked by Leslie Bolt.
Mrs.John Nixon played a med-
ley of Irish tunes on the accord-
ion.
C. R. Coultes, the represent-
ative from Zone 7 on the U. C.
O. Board gave a very interest-
ing report of the Hugh Bailey
Tour he was on in January when
directors toured various plants
to gain first hand knowledge of
U.C. O. operations. The tour
lasted four and a half days.
They visited the U.C. O. ware-
house at Weston, the stock-
yards in Toronto, a feed plant,
milk plant and hobby farm at
Guelph, the Tenderflesh plant
where 1500 broilers are killed
in an hour and the Seaforth egg
grading plant where they grade
30 dozen crates in a minute.
They also visited the Twin Pines
home for senior citizens atMit-
chell, plants at London, Wood-
stock, Tillsonburg, and the
largest co-op in Ontario at
Simcoe.
Mel Craig read the minutes
of the last annual meeting and
Ralph McMillan conducted the
election of officers. New direc-
tors elected were George John-
ston and Albert Bieman, and
Sam Pletch was returned for
another three-year term. Other
directors include Jack Wick -
stead, Arnold Bruce, Leslie
Bolt, Clarence Chamney,
Charles Coultes, Ronald Coul-
tes.
The financial statement was
presented by Ralph McMillan
and at this time the members
took a very active part in the
meeting. They demanded to
know why the savings had gone
down from $10,3'16 in 1963 to
$2, 386 in 1964, and why the
marked increase in liabilities.
Manager Ross Robinson reported
sales volume down mostly in
feed sales. He said that the
directors as well as the mem-
bers are not satisfied with this
situation. To help rectify the
drop in sales volume quite a
few hog feeding contracts are
being written which are proving
quite satisfactory.
President John Taylor told of
the purchase of a new GMC
feed truck with hoist, to give
better service to customers. He
also reported on the building
of a new loading and unloading
dock with projecting roof to
improve convenience and ap-
pearance of the mill. The
board of directors authorized
the payment of a half percent
on member business in 1964.
G. H. Ward and Partners of
Hanover were again named
auditors.
This was one of the best
and liveliest annual meetings
ever held which showed great
interest in the co-operative.
Will Hold
Food Forum
In Brussels
On April 1 a food forum will
be held in the Brussels Legion
Hall, This will be the first time
such a program has been pre-
sented in Huron County.
A food forum is sponsored by
the home economics service of
the Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture upon the request of
the women in any area of a
county.
When interest is shown in a
community, an advisory com-
mittee of five or six women is
set up. This group decides on
the topic, place, date and
time of the food forum. Home
economists from the Ontario
Department of Agriculture pre-
pare the food and present the
forum. No admission is charged
and the meeting is open to all
women in the surrounding area.
During the forum, which
lasts about two hours,' the in-
formation on the topic selected
is presented through demonstra-
tions and discussion. There are
various topics to choose from
such as "Never a Dull Meal",
"Cooking With Your Hat On"
and "Freezer Forum",
The advisory committee for
the Brussels Food Forum chose
the topic "Trix with a Mix",
which is designed to show how
a basic homemade biscuit mix
may be used to make a variety
of products from tea biscuits to
pizza to coffee cake! At the
end of the evening the audience
is invited to taste the food
which has been prepared.
The Brussels Food Forum
starts at 8 p.m. on Thursday,
April 1.
RATION PRODUCER
Slightly better sow and sub-
sequent litter performances are
obtained with four pounds of
regularly balanced sow ration
and six pounds of silage. This
amount of silage results in a
daily saving of two pounds of
ration,
Livestock travel best on a
light fill. Shipping losses from
overfeeding are highest among
hogs.

DOES SHUR•GAIN FERTILIZER SPREAD BETTER?
At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer may look very much
like most other kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference.
Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry
mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can compare
it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out a handful
of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that
is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any
broadcast -type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to
the largest) of free -running SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer is nutritionally
balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of complete and even intake of all
the plant food by your crops. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in
another with SHUR-GAIN.
Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from SHUR-GAIN—
the finest fertilizer for your good earth!
