Throughout the summer the boys have been carefully looking after their charges and keep- ing careful records of feed costs, gains, etc. On Monday these results ,will all be compiled and some mem- bers are going to be• declared ace hog producers in ,Huron. County. ' The programme gets under way at 1 pan. when the forty Yorkshire gilts will be judged by two outside judges, well qualified to render im- partial decisions. Then at 1.30 the members themselves will participate in a judging competition and at 2.15 will compete in written examinations. The judging competition will consist of placing four hogs and going oral reasons. The written examination will consist of answering questions based on material found in the Swine Club Manual. The Swine Club members will be guests at a banquet of the Lions Club, commencing at 6.30 p.nt. Should weather conditions be unfavorable for holding the )fair outdoovel, the competition will be held in the Mc- Kenzie Hotel barns. Working at Oil Well By this time next week oil drilling work will in all probability be under way again at the Huron -Bruce well on the Howard Trewartha farm. The work will be conducted by Mr. Percy Jackson of Denville who this week ]las a crew of men getting the heavy machinery placed, erecting the der ick, and pet/arming the many other jobs necessary before actual drilling can be started. About this time last fall Gregory. & Sons of Petrolia started to drill and after several setbacks penetrated to a depth of 3,500 feet. Late in May of this year the work was dis- continued since Mr. Gregory's con- tract had been fulfilled and it was reported granite had been struck. At the meeting of shareholders last month the majority favored further exploration p on of fire hole and now work is to be resulted once more. While Gregory & Sons were dril- ling a showing of gas and oil was en- countered at 1650 feet which would indicate that oil might be found in paying quantities. The present work will in all probability decide the ques- tion. It has been reported that lately shareholders lowered a rope clown the casing Left in the hole and found five hundred feet of oil in the pipe. If such is the ease, prospects are rosy for the success of the venture. What- ever the outcome the progress of the new drilling crew will be followed with interest.
