AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
PIANS SEASON'S WORK
The fact was confirmed at a meet-
ing of the ,Seaforth Agricultural So-
ciety in the council chambers, with
president Arthur Nicholson presid-
ing, that the Ontario Hereford Re-
gional show will be held in conjunc-
tion with the Seaforth Fall Fair on
Sept. 23 and 24. The Perth -Huron
Jersey Breed show will also be a
Ieature of this year's fair.
Jack Campbell and Clair Haney of
the Seaforth Driving Club were del,
agates to •the meeting seeking stab-
ling facilities at the agricultural
grounds. They asked the use of one
of the new open cattle sheds, they
to pipe water into the building and
probably have hydro installed. They
stated that if given permission, they
would side the building in, erect
stalls along one side and place doors
at either end of the building. In re-
turn they would erect some neces-
sary fencing and keep the track in
good condition. The location of the
Present horse barns is undesirable
because of the low situation and dif-
ficult access in • the winter. They
stated that possibly the present
horse barns could be rebuilt and re-
located. James M. Scott, chairman
