Your forage needs
are different.
No one else has exactly the same forage needs: soils differ
from farm to farm; climate and rainfall are never exactly the
same and no two herds have identical requirements.
That's why your Co-operative now offers you a wide selection
of varieties for pure stands of hay and pasture or a prescription
mixture to meet the specific needs of your farm.

Discuss problems of new
county library system
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
GODERICH—Some of the ear-
ly problems surrounding the for-
mation of the new Huron Coun-
ty Library System are being
ironed out by the committee un-
der the chairmanship of Duff
Thompson, reeve of Clinton.
Perhaps the most distinctive
move to date was the adoption
of a resolution circulated
throughout Huron County and at
a recent meeting of the Associ-
ation of Rural Municipalities by
the townships of Morris and East
Wawanosh.
The resolution adopted at
last Thursday's session of Coun-
ty Council called for a greater
equalization of the methods of
collecting and distributing li-
brary funds.
The Morris-East Wawanosh
resolution pointed out that rural
municipalities were contribut-
ing much more money accord-
ingly than the urban municipal-
ities because collections were
made on an assessment basis and
distributions were made on a
per capita basis. Therefore an
urban centre with a population
of 3000 and a low assessment
was assessed $1400 for library
purposes and would get twice as
much in return as the rural area
with a population of 1500 and
a high assessment which kicked
in $1300 for library purposes.
The proposal adopted was to
collect and distribute library
funds either entirely on a per
capita basis or entirely on an
assessment basis.
Derry Boyle, reeve of Exeter
was pleased to learn that under
the new system, library serv-
ices would cost Exeter about
$1600 as opposed to the $3000
Exeter people had been putting
up in the past. Leroy Theil,
reeve of Zurich reported that
Zurich's levy was five times as
much as it had been previously
and questioned whether the new
system of collection and distri-
bution would again increase
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
GODERICH—County taxes
will be slightly higher this year
with the general rate increased
by one full mill and the high-
way account remaining un-
changed. In his report to Coun-
ty Council, Clerk-treasurerJohn
Berry noted that the new County
Public Library System, the Hur-
onview debenture issue and the
increase in cost of operations
there, an addition to the county
museum to the tune of $10,000,
increased costs in other depart-
ments and the establishment of
a disaster fund were to blame
for the tight budget.
The only bright spot in
Clerk Berry's report was a re-
duction of $35, 000 made this
year in monies payable to the
Hospital Reserve Fund in an ef-
fort to offset the additional de-
benture issue.
Time 1067 budget calls for
$612,301.52 to be raised for
general purposes on a rate of
nine mills and $632,804.57 to
be raised for highway purposes
on a rate of mills; or a to-
tal of IS mills for county pur-
poses.
FUND SET UP
Considerable discussion was
heard on the establishment of
a disaster fund to assist I futon
County farmers who were vie-
time of the tornado which tip-
ped through sections of the
county on April lg. Clerk Bet ,
ry recalled that in June 1053,
$68,148 was raised through fed.,
oral and provincial sources, by
public subscription and through
'Huron County Council for the
relief of storm victims in the
Myth area:
131yttt Reeve flordon Cook
said that lintori County work
crews moved bulldo2ers, chain ,
costs to his village.
The men were told that the
resolution would just redistrib-
ute available funds and even up
library costs to the county by
imposing a greater responsibil-
ity on rural subscribers who
benefitted as much as any other
persons by an improved library
system.
With regard to insurance
coverage on libraries and con-
tents in the county, Duff
Thompson explained that the
county hoped to carry the in-
surance on all buildings in the
county used entirely for library
purposes. He said the county
would insure everything at re-
placement value in order that
the depreciation factor would
be eliminated and thus a maxi-
mum of funds would be realized
for replacement of buildings,
books and furnishings should a
loss occur.
However, in the event that
some municipality should wish
to handle insurance of their own
buildings, they are asked to ad-
vise the Board in writing and
agree to pay all premiums and
assume all responsibility in the
event of a loss. In all cases,
insurance coverage on books and
furnishings will remain the re-
sponsibility of the county.
Some councillors were con-
cerned about libraries incorpor-
ated into other buildings such as
a community centre, They'
were told —ich premises would
be rented by the county but in-
sured by the municipality, with
the exception of the books and..
furnishings which would be own-
ed and insured by the county.
Said Duff Thompson, "The
new library system should in-
crease the breadth of education
at all levels. The Board's idea
of insuring at replacement val-
ue is to make absolutely cer-
tain that the service comes first'
Thompson also indicated that
National Film Board films may
become available through all
county libraries.
saws and trucks into the disaster
district at that time to help
clean up the debris.
Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin
Thompson assured councillors
that sufficient workmen had
been promised but reported that
a Huron-Perth Disaster Fund had
been set up. He suggested that
any money Huron County Coun-
cil would offer would be match-
ed dollar for dollar by the pro-
vincial government.
The warden's and personnel
committee with Chairman Ken
Stewart, McKillop, has been
delegated to administer any
Huron County funds to striken
Huron farmers. Most council-
lors felt that farmers with wind
insurance should receive the
same consideration as those
farmers not protected by insur-
ance, and concurred that a
building clause suggested by
Warden Don McKenzie should
be included that fanners plan-
ning to rebuild any destroyed
buildings should be given spe-
cial attention.
Other committee members
appointed to administer county
disaster funds are county asses-
sor A: A. Alexander and Doug
Miles, Huron County agricul-
tural representative.
Grant Stirling, Goderich
Township reeve complained that
increased pressure should be put
on provincial and federal gov-
ernments to raise their ante to
tornado victims, and at least
one member of council, Clif-
ford R i Dunbar indicated that
some farmers covered by ample
insuranee might be quite happy
to "stand on their own feet"

Farmers' march
is postponed
The farmers' march on Par-
liament Hill in Ottawa is now
planned for some time between
mid-May and mid-June. At the
first meeting Monday of the Qt.,
tawa March Committee, the
date was moved to give the farm
organizations a chance to detail
their case against the federal
dairy policy.
Participating in the meeting
in Toronto were the executives
of the Ontario Federation of Ag,
riculture and the Ontario Farm-
ers' Union. Also invited to the
Meeting was the executive of
the Union Catholique des Cul-
tivateurs, a representative of
Quebec farmers.
In the planning of the march
itself, much of the work willbe
done by local groups of the par-
Appoint administrators
