We can help you save money, by making your rations high in feeding efficiency. We do far more than grind your grain and mix in a few bags of protein. Every formula we use has been checked and approved for low-cost feeding results at the Purina Research Farm. In addition to regular rations fed with roughage, we are equipped to grind and mix the new Purina "Built- in Roughage"TM rations that are sweeping the country. Roughage is ground right into the ration to cut your feeding costs. These rations must be mixed exactly right for top results. You can depend on our Purina-approved Check-R-Mix service to do just that. Call on us to mix your cattle rations. We can mix them right. HOWSON & HOWSON LTD.

Well-advanced plans of the Huron County Publicity Com- mittee of the 1960 International Plowing Match and farm ma- chinery demonstration indicate that the event should draw at least 100,000 to the Seaforth site, Tuesday, Oct. 11 to Fri- day, Oct. 13. Located to a large extent on the Jim Scott farm, the re- nowned match will feature a huge tent city of four streets and eight rows of exhibitors, a landing strip for plane rides ov- er the area, more than 140 acres of parking space and some of the best plowing land to be found in this part of the pro- vince. Due to the enormous area of the site, more than a square mile, wagon rides will be ar- ranged for visitors. Working on a budget of $45, 000, the com- mittee decided to charge $1.00 per person with children 14 and under admitted free. There will be no charge for parking cars. Don McKenzie, chairman of the parking committee, ad- vises that three entrances where tickets will be sold can handle 2,000 cars per hour. The publicity committee, formed a little over a year ago under the chairmanship of W.B. Stephenson, predicts the match will be "a great thing for Hur- on County and the town of Sea- forth." Plans call for a caravan to leave Guelph three days before the match, touring the cities in a bid for publicity. Floyd Lashley, secretary- manager of the Ontario Plow- man's Association, Toronto, reminded a meeting of the committee and the weekly press last Friday during a dinner at the Seaforth Curling Club, one Morris FOA Meeting At Grasby Home BELGRAVE—The directors of the Morris Township Federation of Agriculture met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Grasby on Thursday evening with 13 members present.

"New Understanding of Res- ponsibility" will be the topic of study at the annual Regional Folk School to be held June 23- 26 at the Lime Kiln Lodge, In- verhuron. This will be the fifth folk-school held for the South Western Ontario Region. Two planning meetings have been held to date with county representatives from various groups and organizations. The delegates want to emphasize a study of interpersonal and inter- group relationships in commun- ity life, modern society values in terms of the place of work and leisure aspect and the de- velopment of the conformist at- titudes that are central in pre- sent-day culture. This topic is felt to be very important because of several examples in communities and everyday life of rapid change, which appears threatening to traditional values, making it more impersonal as well as more difficult to create com- munities that are good to live in. The Folk School is being planned with the assistance of Rural Learning Association which is a new provincial adult education program designed to serve organizations in provid- ing training and understanding for the members. Resource people will be fin- anced by Rural Learning Associ- The committee found billet- ing will be readily available and prices for accommodation will be reasonable.

There will be a "Queen of the Furrow" contest, an agri- cultural representatives' con- test, horseshoe pitching, bands, an old time orchestra, hobby show, steam tractors, model steam engines and a tractor pulling contest. Other demonstrations will in- clude corn crops, forage crops, corn machinery demonstrations, and a hillside trickle demon- stration by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority which will trap water in usable quan- tities for water stock. Elston Cardiff reported for the historical committee that five counties are joining in competition to make that sec- tion a success. His committee has selected many historical articles of interest from the museums in Goderich and Exe- ter. Russell Bolton said bands will include the Seaforth Dis- ation and Community Programs Branch. Resource leaders will be David Smith, group trainer and conference consultant of Barrie; Victor Morrow, advisor for special projects for Rural Learning Association, of Tor- onto; William Tilden, Harris- ton, director of Zone 2 for Rural Learning Association.
