Howatt Brothers Winners Farmstead
Improvement Contest in E. Wawanosh
Goderich Twp. Farm Wins
Co. Improvement Contest
Three young brothers, work-
ing since the first of August,
have won the farmstead im-
provement award for the town-
ship of East Wawanosh. They
are Ivan Howatt, 24, Douglas,
19 and Ronald, 17, all of R. R.1
Belgrave. The award is given
by the Federation of Agricul-
ture to the farmstead showing
the most improvement from
September 1965 to September
of this year,
The magnitude of their ef-
forts can be best appreciated
when it is realized that the im-
provements were largely achiev-
ed through their own labor,
while at the same time they
farmed 400 acres and maintain-
ed a herd of Ayrshires, 35 of
which were milkers.
Although they had the neces-
sary materials on hand, they
experienced difficulty in find-
ing a building contractor .with
free time.
In less than two months they
erected a 20 ft. by 60 ft. rib
stone Advanced Farming Sys-
tears silo, built a milking par-
lor with two bays, painted the
barn and are presently install-
ing a JameSway System pipe-
line milker. When completed,
milk will go directly from the
cows to a bulk cooler, untouch-
ed by human hand.
The pipeline system is not
commonly used in this part of
Huron County, Many friends
and neighbors of the Howatt
boys are somewhat skeptical of
this advanced milking system
but these young farmers believe
it will eliminate much of the
labor connected with the dairy-
ing operation,
Other improvements com-
pleted at the Howatt farm in-
clude painting the barn, gen-
eral tidying, removal of old
and useless buildings, removal
of an orchard which was no
longer productive, removal of
fences and the planting of flow-
er beds.
With the exception of ce-
ment work the Howatt brothers
completed the work without
help.
The Howatt farm has been
in the family for almost 100
years, only three or four years
short of qualifying as a Century
Farm.

didn't you hear my whistle?"

held, to encourage farm people
to improve the appearance of

five year period but were due
on the following repayment
schedule: October 31, 1968 -
15 per cent of principal plus 3
per cent interest; October 31,

The Minister said that the
loan will be payable in full if
the farm is sold or if the bor-
rower ceases farming.
The loan may be used for
mortgage payments, taxes, and
production operating expenses.
Application forms will be
available from Chartered Banks
and the offices of the Agricul-
tural Representatives by the end
of October. The borrower will
be required to list information
on his farming operation, the
amount of the loan needed, and
how he intends to use it. A
sworn affidavit will be required
in this connection.
"I trust that these Ontario
Government low-interest loans
will meet a need and will do
much to assist an industry which
not only faces high production
costs but which, by its very na-
ture, is subject to the whims of
the weather," said Mr. Stewart.
