Use EPTAM selective herbicide, In dry arid snap beans, EPTAM controls annual grasses and many broadleaf weeds such as pigweed, hairy nightshade, common chickweed, deadnettle, lambs- quarters and others.

Harvey Taylor reported on the T. V. programing meeting held in Wingham, Dave Cur- zon, farm editor of CKNX ask- ed for ideas on insight programs. Colin Campbell, producer of Focus on the Farm said that if the federation had an idea they would like to get across, the program would help them. A report of the C.I.A. con- vention held recently in Otta- wa was given by Robert McKer- cher who announced the new president for C.I.A. is Charles Huffman of Harrow. Other rou- tine reports were given. At the O.F.A. members' meeting held in Toronto on Thursday the recommendation from Huron County re Humane Society was endorsed by the members.

Prior to the election of of- ficers there was some discussion regarding the qualifications for directors. The old by-law call- ed for a director to represent a school section in the township. He was required to live in the section and be actively engag- ed in farming. Owing to the new township school areas, Mr. Hunter pointed out that in some townships directors are chosen to represent concessions. Nominated to the office of president were Robert Henry, Walter Elliott and Miles Ste, Marie with Mr. Henry and Mr. . Ste. Marie declining. Mrs. Walter Elliott was appointed la- dy director while John R. Tay- lor was appointed director for the Cream Producers, During the reading of the minutes, the secretary read the minutes of the first directors' meeting of the organization, held May 29, 1941 at the home of the late Orville Taylor.

I was also quite interested to read the letter to the editor from Mr. T. Hughes, General Manager of the Ontario Humane Society. What disturbs me the most is the fact that the recent public- ity would indicate that the Hur- on County Federation is oppos- ed to the Humane Society and the Humane treatment of ani- mals. This is unfortunate be- cause I believe that the changes proposed by the Huren County Federation of Agriculture in the Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, would strengthen the effectiveness of the Humane Society in order to reach more of the borderline cases which are how being over- looked. The Federation has never accused any officer of the Hu- mane Society with abuse of sick animals or have they any notion of bringing any charge against any officer. Out criticism is not aimed at the officers but at the act under which they work. Under the present act the so- ciety is reluctant as Mr. Hughes points out to trust local people who they do not know in case they also fail to provide proper cate. I would hope that our recommendation for changing the act would put more respon= sibility on local councils and authorities to secure competent people which the Society would work with,• I do not believe that making it mandatory fot Society hispet- tots to have training in animal husbandry is an unreasonable goal, Today farmers have Many types of government inspectors leap Winstiam Advance -Times, TtigsdAy, April 29, ;QV E. W. FEDERATION ANNUAL Elect officers and directors The East Wawanosh Federa- tion of Agriculture held its an- nual meeting at Whitechurch last week and elected Walter Elliott as president. Other of- ficers elected included vice- president Ernie Snowden and secretary-treasurer Simon Hal- lahan. Past president is Robert Henry. Named as directors were Mason Bailey, Hebo Siert- sema, Peter de Groot, Ross Tay- lor, Wilfred Walker, Miles Ste. Marie and John M. Taylor. Chairman of the meeting, Robert Henry, mentioned that the activities of the federation had been curtailed this year due to the directors' participation in the International Plowing Match. Mr. Henry mentioned the excel- lent county exhibit and thanked the various commodity groups for their participation. Mr. Henry also mentioned resolutions at the Huron County Federation regarding the tax on tractor tires, the uniformity of signal lights at intersections, and the actions of the humane society. Reporting in detail on the county federation meeting, El- mer Hunter stated that he felt a different method of collecting dues should be looked into. He mentioned the better under- standing now evident between the two farm groups and he was very impressed by a Farm Union meeting resolution requesting a better income for farmers, He stated that he felt the two or- ganizations were travelling on the same road. Mr. Carl Grovier, zone dir- ector of the Farm Union, spoke on the Beef Marketing Plan which the union will introduce in the near future.

I think the same would be true of Humane So- ciety Inspectors and would also inspire more confidence in them by local and government veter- inarians. At the present time the Hur- on County Federations resolu- tions and proposals are being studied by the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture who have qualified people, competent to deal with such problems and if in their opinion the proposals are based on misinformation, as indicated by Mr. Hughes, Hur- on County Federation will not receive support. I would hope that the Ontario Humane So- ciety would co-operate with the C.F.A. in the study so that it could be based on' the Most ac- curate information available. No farmer gets into the busi- ness of farming for the express purpose of neglecting animals, it just isn't economical. But due to old age, mental or phy-
