He has identified himself with many enterprises of the town, was secre- tary of the Agricultural Society$ an active member and last year.chaiti- man of the Chautauqua committee, secretary of the 01d Henle committee, Which put on such a successful cel- ebration last year, and in many ways identified himself with the public life of Clinton. In addition he took- part.. in the activities of Ontario street United church,' being leader of a class of boys. In fact, wherever there was work to be done he was called' upon and he will be very much missed in the town. As Mr. Stothers was the first re- presentative Huron has had -•the work was not organized on Inc coming and it ,all :bears the impress of his per- sonality. The work of such en -office is' largely organization and in Huron there are, as part of that organiza- tion, twenty school fairs, the largest member of any county in the province. Un ' ht Yo •m of office erg g Duringhis ter r- Farnrers' Associations have been or- ganized, four or five of which are still prosperous. Mr. Stothers' idea k is has always been that the best loot tone with the young 'people. Five three months' agricultural courses have been held, in Wtnghan, Clinton, Exeter, Brussels and Ford- ` with, and three four weeks'.cotlress at Auburn, Fordwich. and Exeter, bringing one of these to within ten miles of every young neon and wo- man in the County. These courses proved very successful and have cre- ated a desire for something of the sort as a permanent tieing in eonneo- tion With the secondary school work. Mitt: Stothers has been very much interested in Huron's apple industry artcl itnwas :largely through his- in- fluence that the Huron,Fruit Grow- ers' Association was formed. A spray system has been in operation for the past. two years. 'Last yea' fifteen growers were' ism this, thus year there are twenty-seven.' There has been a decided improvement in the apple in- dustry during kite past few years, an improvement that it is -hoped will con- tinue. - This year , he also started a soy bean plot competition, enlisting 120 school children in it. The Home Gar- denscontestshave been=going on for some time, seventy-five competitors being enlisted, in three contests. The Huron County Breeders' Association lis also a going concern and holds a yearly sale of•purebred stoek.I Most people will remember the .Better Live Stock campaign put on in Huron a few' years ago, under the direction of the local office. There is also a Plowmen's Associa- tion,, a ,trve -erg organization which to arouse 'enthus5asm in the manly art of plowing a straight furrow. And aside from these things much interest has been taken'in poultry culling, sheep -dipping, etc., Mr. D. A.
