The unit bred '79,426 cows in 1965. Swine breeding for the year numbered 1959. The manager also reported that 1965 marked the 25th year of service for the breeding co- operative, which now has forty employees. Counting all pri- vate sires etc. used, over 300 bulls were made available to the members in 1965. Gordon Bell, district field- man for the Holstein Friesian Association, spoke briefly and Doug Miles, agricultural re- presentative for Huron County, introduced the guest speaker. The speaker was Don Gra- ham, agricultural representa- tive for Brant County, noted for his work in farm management planning. He announced his topic as "Future Trends in Live- stock Farming" noting as the major trend a change toward bigger farms. "Bigness" he said, "only makes us go faster in the direction we're going". "We have to intensify on what we have," he said, list- ing functional buildings, ef- ficiency, and specialization as important points to remember in farm planning. He empha- sized choosing a system care- fully, making use of informa- tion and publications available. Mr. Graham commented on the good work that has been done in breeding and feeding, stating that housing of live- stock has not kept up. He des- cribed the situation in England where many outdated farm buildings are built of stone, will neither burn down nor fall down, and are difficult to re- model. He contrasted this with the situation here, where build- ings can be remodelled to ac- commodate a better farm sys- tem. In Britain, he reported, the government actually sub- sidizes remodelling of farm buildings. The reason why some farm- ers here make money and some lose is the system they are us- ing, he said. He urged his lis- teners to sit down and plan what they are going to do with the livestock they prefer, particu- larly with regard to buildings. He concluded by saying that, in his opinion, government sub- sidies might be best applied to helping a farmer develop a bet- ter system so that he can help himself to greater efficiency. The director for North Hur- on, Cliff McNeil of Goderich was returned by acclamation for a two year term on the Cattle Breeding Association board. Mrs. 6.

Terpstra related that Dutch families came to Can- ada in 1928-30. Due to govern- mental interference many more left Holland, and Canada ap- pealed to those who wanted to immigrate after World War II, so many families came to On- tario and settled on farms. Holland homes are centred around the parents, while Am- erican homes are centred around! the children. Students are re- ciaired to study more languages in Holland. Rev. Terpstra stressed the need for the church in the community and its re- ligious activities. Charles Thomas of Brussels, president of Huron County Fed- eration of Agriculture, reported meeting with members of par- liament and representatives of commodity groups affiliated with the Huron County Feder- ation. He asked for opinions regarding compulsory crop in- surance in Howick Township. He predicts that land values will rise and the Federation will have new problems to deal with. Farmers of the future will need a greater amount of capital. The officers elected for 1966 are. President, Stuart Douglas, Meet at Home of Mrs. Mac Scott BELGRAVE—The ladies of the W.M.
