Hensall Calf Club Rated Tops "The most extensive and most in- teresting calf club in Ontario” is the status of the Hensall Fair Board's present club. "It is a pro- fitable and interesting project as well as a drawing card for the Hen- sall •Spring Fair", stated Jr. Farm- er President, Jim McGregor as he described the situation to the Sea - forth Club at their April meeting. The club, which buys all its calves in Western Canada, supplies the calves to the boys who train them and prepare then for showing and selling at the Spring Fair. The expenses are offset by a $4 grant from each township council for each member in the township. At present there are 78 calves, which shows the extent of the club, spread out in a 15 mile radius of Hensall. The boys gain, as well as exper- ience, the value and knowledge of expenses required to feed and pre- pare a calf for market. This club is certainly worthy of a high posi- tion and the continued interest of local agriculturalists. During the business part of the meeting the boys decided on 3 pro- jects (1) a feeding project to be carried out by 4H Club members, (2) a tree planting project to be carried out by the remainder and :(3) a mai] box beautification pro- ject to be carried out in Tucker - smith Township as step one of a three-year project, This project is to be handled 'by the Tuckersmith members only. Final plans for the Annual At Home were settled. An', interesting true -false test on farm implements was administered and this led to a very interesting dis- cussion period. If the membership increases and the coming meetings are on an equal standard, 1953 will be a celebrated year for the Sea - forth Jr. Farmers.
