Agricultural Board Rooms, 'Tues- day, November 13, '. vith thevice- president, Keith Tyndall, in the chair. The Roll 'Call was - answered by. naming the letters of the alphabet, backwards. Two letters were read and discussed: The topic, "Plumbing, and sewage disposal for the farm home," was given by Harold Wise. Robert McKercher, Dublin, gave a very interesting and ibstructive talk about "Co-operatives." He outlined the . setup, financing and control of farm co-operatives. Mr. McKercher also congratulated the boys on the fine organization they had. A. hearty 'vote of thanks was ex- tended to Mr. McKercher. At the joint meeting of the Junior Institute and junior Farmers, Fred Gibson,{ presided. The club paper was read by the editor, Patricia Morrison, T.

The meeting then closed by singing the National Ani {rem. More Canadian Seed For Pastures and Hay More and more of the pastures and hayfields in Canada which help to feed live stock are being sown to Canadian produced seed. The Domin- ion Department of Agriculture says that if the wartime trend of increas- ing the domestic production of seed continues, Canadian farmers will no longer be obliged to depend on im- ported supplies of seed to grow grasses, clovers and alfalfa. This year, growers are harvesting a record crop of timothy seed. The 'crop is expected to total about 1' million pounds, five million pounds more than in 1944. Production of Kentucky blue grass, Canada blue grass and creeping red fescue, is also higher this year, than in 1944. The harvest of alfalfa seed will probably be lower this year than last. Alsike clover seed is expected to be one-third higher in 1945 than in 1944. No estimate is yet available on red clover seed of which the increased acreage may be balanced by the fact that the crop has been late and sub- ject to frost damage. The crop of sweet clover seed- this year appears to be slightly down from that of 1944. The 1945 crop; of these forage crop seeds is not only sufficient to meet most of Canada's needs, but will also provide a 'surplus for export to Brit- ain and continental Europe and for . distribution through UNRRA. -.

Paints Protect ;Farm Buildings "Don't put it off, put it on," might well be the s'ogan of many a farmer in regard to paint, for mere can be no dcabc r. -at a great many farm buildings in Canada are sadly in need of paint, There are, actually, very few farm- ers win •In not realise [hi protection which paint" gives 'against decay, rot, ru,t, diseoee-germs, lice and mires: The trruble is that mist of thew have been so busy during the last few years that they just , haven't found time to maintain then in r1'crty in the best way possibla.

The thin film of paint reduces the wear that comes from exposure to sun, wind, dust, rain, snow, heat and cold. 'A building' without that protective film will not be destroyed as quickly as an oil - starved motor, but the damage will be just as sure and just ascostly even if it does take longer, Painting is a job that can be done a little at a time throughout the fall months, by many members of the family. When the tools and paints are bought and on the farm,the actual painting can be spread over a considerable period of time, a half day this week, a couple of hours next week, sandwiched in between chores and jobs that must be done on schedule. If you buy the -paint now, while the need for it. is firmly in your, mind, there is little doubt hat that you will find the time to apply it during the fall. o, Several Short Courses ' Are Cancelled at O.A.C.

More ..Milk -- Lower Costs The Shur -Gain Way is your herd' of dairy cattle producing as well as it;. should? A dairy cow will produce more milk if her. feed is properly balanced and contains the correct amounts of proteins, minerals and vitamins. SHUR-GAINS 32% Dairy Concentrate contains the right amounts of proteins, minerals and vitamins needed by heavily producing cows. Farm grains and 'roughages alone do not contain enough of these important .materials, nor do they contain them in the correct proportions to be efficiently used by the milking cow. For more milk, and at reduced feed- ` {rig costs, mix SH•UR-GAIN 32% Dairy Concentrate with your farm grains. You'll get more milk you'll get it at lowOr produc- tion eosts, and- you'll keep your cows in the best of health at the same time, for, KIUR-GAIN Dairy Concentrate is extra fortified with health -producing vitamin and mineral ingredients intended to help. hard working cows maintain their condition, under the strain of full production.
