Waterloo Cattle Breeders'
Members at Huron Meeting
cattle breeding services for the
year were up, despite decreases
in total numbers of dairy cat-
tle. 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where many outdated farm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.

er, Rev. Simon Terpstra, min-
ister of Christian Reform Church
in Listowel. His topic was
"Immigration and Adjustment".
Rev. 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

liament and representatives of

ation. He asked for opinions

surance in Howick Township.
He predicts that land values

a greater amount of capital.
