HYDRO STANDS HIGH IN RURAL NEEDS • FORUMS DECIDE The following .is a summary of the Findings sent to the Ontario Farm Radio Forum • Office following the Review Broadcast of January 27. The Canadian Federation's Annual Conference in Winnipeg was the news of the week. The Forum broadcast was from Winnipeg and so, naturally, the discussions tiu Ontario Forums centred around the activities of the farmers' organizations. Forums first put a bit - of thought on their own local organizations and its activities and then asked themselves, "what projects would we like to see the provincialk oCanadian Federation -undertake?" The thing rural people want above everything else is Hydro. Not on the front page of their. newspapers but on their concession and in their homes and barns. Rich Hill in Dufferin, following the lead given by the wom- en in: the Ontario Federation Con- vention put their +sentiments in the form of a resolution. " demand that necessary steps be taken to make sure farmers are given priority in. obtaining power, wire and equip- ment." East Mountain in Grey also spoke plainly and to the point . "We would like to see the ,provincial or 'Canadian Federation take action to secure Hydro at. lower cost to farmers."." Local Forums have for some time waged war on the warble fly. Now they demand provincial and federal aid in bringing the campaign to a successful and decisive conclusion. Macton in Waterloo heads a long list of Forums asking for a provincial ,wide warble fly campaign. 1 • If the Federation ever runs out of .projects all they need to do is turn Ito the Fauuans`for'ideas• Vandeleur in. ,Grey would have the Ontario Fed- •eration of Agriculture urge the gov- ernment to start a plan of auto in surance along the line of. that .in force in Saskatchewan. Rockview. also in Grey, wants a thorough in- vestigation of the wide spread in prices between producer and comm. er. Notha t t rural people are sitting around waiting for governments or the federation to solve their prob- lems for them, not at all, "We de• eided to investigate the best potato 'dagger on the market and to purchase one co-operatively," announces Ant••1 I rim Forum iu Carleton. No. 5 Bin. brook in Wentworth is interested in home improvement, cream producers,' National Film Board showings, and a fowl supper.

Summerstown in Glengarry, is laying plans, along with the Women's Institute, for a community hall." , �'AG71 S SEAFORTH FAIR TO SPONSOR SWINE CLUB THIS YEAR ISeaforbh Agricultural Society will Sponsor a swine club, this year, it was decided at the annual meeting in Seaforth last week. 'Stormy weather prevented a good attendance. Presi- dent J. M. 'Govenlock was in charge. The society agreed to sponsor a swine club after LeRoy Brown, agri- cultural representative, had told the meeting of the benefits. Mr. Brown reviewed the field crop competition and stated that a quantity of Beaver oats' had been obtained for this year's. field crop competition. He assured the meeting of his co-operation in arranging and administering either a calf club or a ,ravine club. Directors and associate directors were re-elected and at a subsequent meeting of the board Mr, Govenlock was named, president and Russell Holten and Arthur Nicholson, vice- presidents, The board named a com- mittee including J. M. Scott, the president, and Russell Bolton to ar- range for the appointment of a secretary treasurer with the sugges- tion that the position be enlarged to include 'm the duties of anager. The meeting approved memberships in Huron County Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Associa- tion of Fall Fairs, Delegates appointed to the Fair As- sociation convention in 'Toronto in Iii February were ussell Bolton and, Mrs. John Hil1eb�r� cht, with Arthur Nicholson and Eiss Jean Scott as alternates. Balance in Treasury During the year. Treasurer C.w Trott's report shoed receipts total- led $4.338.41 and expenditures amounted to $4,075.86, including prize money paid out of $+1,3'14.45. 'Despite major expenditures to. buildings. and grounds and the •erection of new fencing, the society enters the new shear with a balance in excess of $200. Reports of committee chairmen in- dicated greatly increased exhibits in all departments. as a resiult, the meet- ing was told, of the complete revision of the prize list and increased prize money, William GIazier, chicken committee chairman, recommended additional prize •money be made available and that the prize list be issued at an earlier date to permit exhibitors to plan for the fair. a w BLYTH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY TO' HOLD FIELD CROP CONTEST The annual meeting of Blyth Agricultural Society eves held in the Orange Hall. Simon Hallahan, the president, ,presided and in his brief address spoke of several improve- ments he would like to see such as gr newounfednces and grading at the fair s. Miss Lena Livingston, secretary - treasurer, gave the financial state. meet, with' receipts of $2,596.61 and expenditures of $2,547, of which $5,256.20 had been paid in awards. The society was encouraged, as this was thethefirst year for some time the balance was on the right side. LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton, agricul- tural ;representative for Huron County, stated he had every con- fidence in the junior farmers and expressed his opinion that field crop competitions stepped up the cailbre of crops. .He said the time has come when "we must turn to the newer types of oats" and advised the use of such registered varieties as Ajax and Beaver. He hoped the society would have a class in the prize list for -these ,varieties, also table turnips. Gerald E. Nelson, Clinton,assistant agricultural representative for Huron County, said he was interested in a calif club which "leas great possibil- ities and merits the support of the agricultural society." He said the quality of calves exhibited last year was much superior to previous years and suggested having calves in com- petition. ' He invited the junior farm- er to attend the short courses Tit progress in Belgrave. Mr•• 1111ah an feels Hay Township Mutual Increases Insurance The 72nd Anal Meeting of the Members of Hay Township Fanners' Mutual Fire: Insurance Company was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, on January 27, 1947. The president, Arthur Finkbeiner, acted as chairman and Herbert K. Ealber, secretary. The president, in his address, stat- ed that there were 2,263 policies in force at the end of 1940 with a total amount at risk of $12,651,730. The amount of insurance was increased by $•1,1.15,200 although the number of policies only increased by 50, show- ing that the policy -holders are taking out more protection. There were 75 claims paid during the past year totalling $18,1,79.35 compared with $5,667.95 in the year 1945. The 30 per cent Income Tax pay- able to the Dominion Government on increase in surplus commencing with the year 1947 also was mentioned.ev It was genally felt by the Mutual Fire Underwriters' Association that this was an unjust tax as ram Mutuals were not operating for profit but were purely a Mated Company. There had been a strong representa- tion made to the Special Committee appointed by the Government to in- vestigate the taxation of all Co- operatives in the Dominion and at one time it was thought Farm Mut- uals would be exempted. However this matter will again conic up for discussion at the Convention of the Association which will be held in Toronto in March. The reports of the treasurer and, madam's. wove presented and adopted. liaary C. Beaver, Goldie Graham ancj Thomas Love, whose term of office as Directors had expired, were re- elected ,and T. W.
