Huron County Federation of.. Agriculture holds banquet By Mrs. O. McCharles ,The - effect of industry on agriculture was the theme of the meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture annual banquet in Londesboro November 26. Over 200 farmers from Huron County heard Don White, public relations officer from Bruce Nuclear Station, explain the atomic energy plant at Douglas Point. President of 'T'die Huron County Federation, Elmer Hunter, told . the gathering that • the federation as^a whole needed finances, and could and would do a job for the farmers as the one and only Ontario Farm Organization, if^ each individual farmer would give support such as was in evidence at the meeting. Bob Allan, on the Ontario Federation board, with two other members from Huron County, Malcom Davidson and Gordon Hill, felt that , Huron County was well represented on a 16 -man board. If all counties were working as was Huron and Bruce, then there would be no need to have began the Direct Membership setup now being tried out. If this type of membership is followed through, then there could be local groups rather than county groups such as 'Huron County. The farmers must become aware of what the federation is doing for them ,and a good deal of public relations is needed. Each Township Federation of Agriculture can promote the federation for farmers by holding information meetings, at which, time the service n einbership could be explained. Many resolutions have been W made at small meetings, passed is on to county level and in turn reached the government and A received results and benefits for all farmers. rimimmiximmicommovoroNzononfooxicx!gii » .M w ^1140 4 r„ i i 1M +" % % S i iso ,iii►' iogi ,4 5 li ni w:i i —4 a P x ii� +i f W g g i 4 W 1 itW W 4 '1 i A K W SW . , ,,era Girir 11 LI 11 W into'tunics, tops lengthen flare W Pullover with a•jaunty skirts move easil• oo f pleats, and pants...

College program involves co-operation of, farmers The practical problems of farming cannot always be taught in the classroom. In order to understand the compleicities of mo.der'n agricultural decision-making, students need to live and work in a genuine farm atmosphere.` At the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, a branch of the Ontario; Department of Agriculture and Food, a program involving the co-operation of farmers living near the college has been devised to permit students to get the maximum experience pbssible in making on -the -farm decisions. Each of eight groups of students works on a separate farm. The group has access to all of the farm's financial and management records and is requested tb make agricultural decisions based on these figures: The program gives students 'a firsthand knowledge of what it is like to work with outside industries and', financial institutions that relate directly. to 'farming. The students will analyze all the faun records, study breeding. and- feeding programs, machinery. and equipment facilities,. and alt other farm operations, The student groups are required to file a monthly report of their work, and at the end of the year, submit a summary report and face a comprehensive oral exam. This senior year project was organized by Mr. Graham Hooper, head of the Livestock Division of Centralia College. While many of us enjoy the warmth and love of family and friends at Christmas time, the lonely and unwanted don't have this privilege. But they are not forgotten, for the Men and ,women of The Salvation Army love and care for the less fortunate of our community.
