The annual meeting of the Zest
Huron Agricultural Society was held
in Council Chamber, Brussels, last
Saturday afternoon, and there was a
good representation of both farmers
and citizen. present. Considerable
time was given over to the hearing
of suggestions and in this way a
number of new ideas were secured.
President James Burgese ,wae in
the chair and after the minutes of
the lastannual meeting were read
and adopted on motion ot 0 Turnbull
ans R. J. Hoover.
The President in his addeess stated
that last year's fair would have been
one of the best in the history of the
Association if the ram had held off
during the afternoon. The inside
department was excellent and the
outside exhibit was one of the best.
The far closed a little short finan-
cially but would still have a little
balance to the good. He suggested
that the Association should have more
members, as there are only 89 on the
books, and he thought every farmer
in Grey and Morris should be a MOM-
! ber, as each would add to the ex-
hibits shown. The grounds should be
fixed up and levelled and more ac-
comodation given to the cattle. The
ineide of the race track should also
be fixed up, and a parking space
made for the cars. A sidewalk should
be put down from street to ticket of-
fice and Council should help.
The Treasurer gave his report and
showed that the Society had a bal-
ance of $472.11 on hand. The re-
port was accepted on motion of Wal-
ter Broadfoot and 0. Hemingway.
The question of a Spring Show
was brought up, but the Directors
decided that they would make one
good sho instead of having two
poor nil
On motion of 0. Turnbull and R.
Nichol it was decided to enter the
field crop competition and the thresh-
ing crop cainpetition.
Owing to M. Black being called
away, Thos. Miller was the Secretary
for the rest of the meeting.
Director Waltce Rose stated that
50 nore coops would be needed in
the Poultry Department, and he ad-
vised changes in the Poultry list. The
Directors made many complimentary
remarks concerning the way Mr. Rose
has developed this part of the ex-
hibition. Director R. J. Hoover
stated that the hog pens needed re-
pairing and more were required so
that all the hogs could be unloaded
to be judged properly. The Judges
complained that hogs were left in the
wagons. The sheep pens could be
made smaller and more used. Thos.
Kerr. the well known stockman of
Grey, asked that cattle pens be lev-
elled up and the show ring enlarged.
The Directors thought that the 1926
Board would have a lot of work to
do.
Expert Judges will be engaged for
1926 Pair, and several changes made
so that one judge will not be crowd-
ed with work.
On motion of P. A. McArthur and
R. Nichol, the usual fee of $2.00 will
be forwarded to the Ontario Fair As-
sociation.

Secretary's Report
(Dr. C. A. Zavitz, Agricultural Col-
lege, Guelph)
In 1025 there were ten Experimen-
tal Union Committees in connection
with co-operative experiments
throughout Ontario. This is the
largest number there has ever been
in any one year. The most of these
have carried on co-operative work
within the year and several will re-
port at this Annual Meeting. The
Departments covered by these com-
mittees are, Field Husbandry, Agri-
cultural Botany, Forestry, Agricultu- ' Decreasing acre -yields of farm

western Canada cattle pool was also
looked into, and is repotted as func-

Of particular interest to the west,

the committee that new arrangements
should be made for the shipping of
cattle to overseas ports as a great
amount of wastage in this connection
has been encountered in the west.
