URGES CO-OPERATION (By J. Carl Hemingway) Huron County farmers held a very successful Seed Fair on March 1st and 2nd in Clinton. A good display of grains and small seeds Was shown. The number of entries was down but considering the very had har- vest season' of 1956' both tlie, cal Co -Ops are doing a nueh number and quality of entries ware good. There were interesting talks on the production of crops and methods of handling them. There was. considerable enup!ha- sis on efficient peoduction to increase yields. This leads me to wonder about this question of efficiency of .farmers. Perhaps T don't understand the mean- ing of this word but it seems to me that farmers are doing a pretty good job when one "farm er now feed's' 20 people instead of the 6 he was able to feed a few years ago. I am convinced that farmers are remarkably efficient as far as it is financially (possible. There isn't much incentive to produce two blades of grass in place of one if it is going to take 3 blades to be worth what the one was formerly. Why pro- duce 100 bus. to the acre at a loss if you can lose just as much on a 50 bus, crop with'a lot fess work. This T know is a .pessimistic attitude but I think there is a cure. The most neglected' ma- chine on the farm today is the Marketing Machine. This is the farmers greatest need, Consii l- erable 'has been done in this' de- partment as !there are 18 dif ferent marketing schemes at work in'Ontaaio. They are doing good work in their different fields but there, is a great deal to be done yet. The co-operatives are devel- oping steadily. that might surprise you to' know 'tat United Co Operatives are the second larg- est feed dealers in Canada. to,- of speed, 92. larger business in feed, fertil- izer and eggs than we realize. The (Clinton Credit ;Union has had themost rapid growth of any rural Credit Union in Ont. and now has assets totalling some 9285,000, All these successes, have been. accomplished by people Co-O0 ei'ating to gain the ;things they desired. Farmers can co-operate with, each other to produce .bet- ter crops and better livestock and,l also co-operate t to anarket thee products. These things go hand-inhand and can be ace complished if we so : desire—it is up' to us, GOOD BULLS TO HURON Huron County farmers were active bidders on ' }Shorthorn bulls at the Ontario Bull Sale, taking home 10 bulls. Among the buyers were: Frank Sellars, :Brussels, (Clipper Foreman at $550.); Osear Kieffer, Wing - ham, (iSandoon Kennebec at $570.); John Ostrom, Varna, (Kilburnie '. (Ransom 'Elect at $520.)P One of the good young bulls of the sale was consigned by Wm. R. Pepper, +Seaforth. The price was $525. The overall average for 72 bulls was :$412:84 (compared with $386. in 1956).
