W: Tre wartha, 14I.L.A,, ,a former vVarden' of tho'county,'"was asked to address the, council. He said the liusinessl ke way in which the'iouncil did its work had made deep impiiession on .him and had given him his first inclination fol eaulelic' life. He high tri- bute to the manner in which the county institutions; such' as the Huron County Hdrne, the Children's. ehelter, the jail, 'etc., were conducted, He thought that 4tRe ` method of paying grants to schools, an a salary basis, was a mistake, .The qualifications, ex- perience and efficiency of the teacher and other provision made, by the trus- tees for the cdnsfort and convenience of the"pupils -ought to be considered, he thought. He alsospoke of refor estation. District Engineer Irwin - spoke of the reforestation of waste places in the county and eitplained the law re- garding the abolition of statute labor. Ne grant will be paid tomunicipali- ties which have not abolished statute labor. Regarding beach gravel, he said anyone had a right to remove it unless it interferred with the property owner. .

B.- Stothers,- District'Agri-' cultural Representative made a yol- umilieus reportto the county council in session east week 'from. which we take a'few• extracts: "One new sehoel fair was organized last year,- at Hensall, and one was diegontinued, at' Walton. One joint' fair was held, at Blyth,', This school fele bee beenheld,ever since its: M- edi -Aeon -in conjunction with the; fall fair, and so far has worked but fairly( satisfactorily. In a- county With• twentyschool> fairs such 'as we have, It would lighten the., work consider- ably could we link all our school fairs up with the fall 'fairs, though we do hot consider that advisable. For 1924 our exhibits .have been' excellent if not about the best we have ever had. •We have had con- tinued interest in • the school tail's throughout 1924, particularly from the pupils• and teachers. , Our attend- ance of adults .was not as large as in some years, but the interest: and quality of exhibits has been well maint:tined, and .he the case • of the exhibits, surpassed .practically any year since 'opening this work in this county. Two Home- Garden contests'were conducted in the county -during the past year Fifty-two pupils were Supplied with packages ofseeds- and after all entries were iii the county was' divide& linto two. districts: This competition •each• year Seems to stir up more and `-more.intei'est. and we have had• different parents. -come -to us and state that they think it is one of. tine bestlines of work that we are trying *to put over' with,' the . young pepple; • In this county we have two ,poultry breeding stations- in operation, on the farm of W Fe.Flinley, Lucknow Bend L. V:: Hogart,'Lxeter. 'These breed- ing stations are becoming more. and More a'source of pure-bred %.rock to the farmers of the district. Junior 'Farmers' Improvement As- societions 'are active in Wit:gluam Auburn, Stephen and:Usborn� G,- How 'ick. apd'••Clinton. Junior Women's Institutes have been formed at Ford- with, Wingham, Clinton and. Exeter. Junior Fainters' Plowiing' competi- tions, during 1924 were not very"sue- cessful. During the past,yeai we have had a great deal of, inquiry for labor from time to- time. , No statistics have beenekept" as to the number of men placed. in the county. • All one applications have either been turned over to the Employment Bureau at. London or the Immigration. Office at Toronto. Wages through the summer ren from $20i to $30 per month, depend- ing on experience, and sone marrlied mon received 'even more, although very few married men were placed, to our knowledge; in the country. Our Huron County Bleeders' Asso- ciation was organized in 1021.. ,This Association has ,been 'carrying on every year since. Their train activity every year conaists of holding' a pure bred Sale. The sheep population in the county is not large'. There has, however, been an increased 'number of our farmers inquiring with reference to co-operative marketing of their wool. The sheep ovulation of the county will be largely. increased next year as • a' =large ;number of farmers have put ie. flocks of sheep this fall, who never kept sheep before. ' So 'far the European- corn borer has made little material progress 'iu •this county. "' . Next to our school fairs the work connected with our attempt et or- eanizing the • Huron County Bean. Growers as part and -parcel of the Ontario Bean Growers' Association took up more :'of .our time than any other one item.. It is with. a great deaf 'of.'regret. that the report 'it now a dead •issue. Our endeavor was to assofiate ourselves with the .....;bean growers 'of Kent andElgirtl• counties. Our first wort{, was an,attentpt to se- eure contracts, covering: a .period of five years for ad large a (percentage of the ;bean 'roe as "possible: We aimed to secure control - of '75 per dent, of the beans. In our campaign we were able, to• sign up: 349. This world include 60,,to '75 per cent. of the bean growers in the county and quite easily 75; per cent. of the acre- age. Followingc the coin eti on of g l p this work'the organization failed; to function, owing to difficulties arising in •the counties of Kent and Elgin. In the county of Huron we might state that we had "practically every- thing -- under control. We had bean acreage,; we had elevators, we had .

Elgin county beans were essential to the contract it was* en- possible for us te, go further. Any further work -done along tills line will be, along the lines of organizing the County Bean .Growers on a county basis. As a continuance of our fruit ex tension -work, we arranged _ for a county fruit show for 1924. This was quite a successful event during the past year •and we hope to make it an annual one at some point or other in the county., The situation in. Huron county, with reference to fruit at present is that we have anywhere from ten to twelve thousand acres of apple or-- cherd, We have little doubt that the larger portion of .th'is acreage is the worst eared for in the Province of Ontario. We have arrived at the conclusion that the biggest problem in this county is the fruit ;problem, and jt is thusthe biggest challenge to agriculture in the- county. This being the case we called a councilof war in our office last June. Invitations sen were . out to fruit 1: t growers of the county, asking them to attend a meeting here , on June 128th. This .meeting was not 'largely attended but we had quite a few in- terested fruit growers present, and we formed ourselves into an associa- tion to be known as the Huron Fruit Growers' Council. This association has chosen for its line of work the de- velopment of the fruit industry. 'Af- ter several hours' of diseussion ort ways, and means, it was -decided to hold a fruit show. We did not know at'that`time how light our apple crop was or it is doubtful if 'we wouhi have undertaken the proposition. -, It is our aim to expand this work in the future, -as ourfaircertainly created a great deal of interest in the community. We also wish to ex- pand our home market hero, as we find that many of our local people do not appreciate our own apples. There is much that can be -done along this line, as well es along the lines of improving methods 'with the farmer. Mr. Stothers- characterizes the past year'as one of the most eventful years in the history' of his offece, since its cteening in 1918. "While everything did not go;" be wrote, "as we .could have wished, yet we'feel some .progresshas been made, and failures dusting the past year have pointed out where snore world must, be done, and this we hope 1'o take up as soon as possible and advisable."
