The farms included Ebydale Farms owned by Floyd and Daryll Eby," New Dundee; Ebvholme Farms owned by Cllrence, Brian and Dori Eby, Ayr; Meadow Lee Farms owned by .R.M. Perrin & Sons, Roseville; Beckhaven Farms owned. by Don Becker, Roseville; and Friedhaven Farni owned by Howard Fried & Son, New Dundee. All five farms are outstan- ding for both milk production and type. Most Huron County Club members echoed the sen- timents of their secretary, Don Watson, Clinton, whet' he ex- pressed appreciation to Don Becker by saying, "We saw a lot of good cattle today. It should give us a few ideas when we look at our own cows." In general, all farms visited had a high degree of management, wit, two or more people working full-time to care for 40-50 milking cows and another 40-50 young cattle. Every farm used tie -stanchions and either full -pipe -line systems or dumping stations to carry milk from the barn to the milkhouse. Examples of how to handle top -producing herds were given at Beckhaven Farms, Friedhaven Farm, and Meadow Lee Farms, who com- pete for the top production herds in the county year after year. Their composite herd averages are near 160 meaning that the average milk produc- tion is over 16,000 pounds. Examples of cattle prominent in both the exhibitor's ring and milk production were seen at Ebydale and Ebvholme farms. Many cattle from both herds have been show winners at n,ajor shows. The Huron County Holstein Club was accompanied by field - men Gordon Bell, St. Mary s , and Joe Snyder, EImira. • DUNGANNON DOINGS By O.M.

On the heels of a wonderful ROUND AND ABOUT' wires MARINA County approves- UDIRA study at '110,450 cost BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER A pilot project in Huron County to cost $110,450 was given approval at last Thur- sday's session of County Coun- cil. The study of Urban Develop- ment in Rural Areas will be financed on a cost sharing basis with the Province of Ontario paying 80 percent ,and the County of Huron 20 percent. It will look at the desirability and effects of non-farm development in rural areas and is the first of its kind in On- tario. The tax review committee comprised of Chairman Charles Thomas, Gerry Ginn, Cecil Desjardine, Joe Kerr, Deb Shewfelt, Frank Cook and War- den Roy Pattison is meeting regularly now. Plans are to make recommendations based On the. findings of the commit- tee in the field of welfire, library and health. "The committee proposes to detail a ,comparison in -costs between population basis ver- sus assessment basis for these three mentioned services," reported Thomas. During the brief discussion, Reeve Anson McKinley of Stanley Township applauded the recent provincial budget which gave a 50 percent tax rebate to farmers but deplored the resource equalization grant which "treats ,,the land as a,J taxable resource to be ;equalized". "A lot of strange formulas will come out of Toronto in the next couple of years," predicted John Berry, clerk -treasurer. The county is giving a grant of $1,000 to the Victorian Or- der of Nurses whose services are now available county -wide. This grant carries with it a con- dition, however, that the VON does not "solicit funds from the local municipalities in Huron County". University, of Western On- tario scholarships of $100 each were awarded to Miss Terri Louise Paul, R R 1 Kirkton and Donald Thomas Jolly. Exeter. As well, a, $100 scholarship was awarded to Robert Rowe, R R 1' Exeter, a student at Ridgetown College Of Agricultural Technology.
