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

Mr. S.. 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

finance and in fact we had absolute
control' of the. situation.' However,
as Kent and. 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."
