HENSALL
Top place in the show ring, and
top price in the auction ring, were
won by Harold Edler. R. R. 2, Hen-
sall, in the beef feeder club show,
which was the novel livestock attrac-
tion at the Hensall show. In the big
class of 37 feeder calves paraded
for judging at the Hensall show, the
Elder entry edged out a calf fed by
John McGregor, R.R. 2; Kippen, for
top place in the show, and then
brought a price of 31 cents a pound
to top the sale list when the 37
calves were auctioned.
The second -.prize McGregor calf
was rated second-best by the bid-
ders, as well as by the show -ring
judge; it went at 30/ cents, for the
second best price of the sale.
The showing and selling of the 37
calves was the climax of a venture-
some project undertaken in the sum-
mer of 1951 by the Hensall fair
board, Directors of the Hensall
show pledged their credit for $6,000
to bring a shipment of range calves
from Western Canada and place
them out with boys in the Hensall
district, under agreement to show
and sell the calves at the 1952
spring show. The bold undertaking
was brought to a successful conclu-
sion on Friday, in spite of the slump
in livestock prices that took place
between the time the project was
undertaken and the time it was com-
pleted.
Top ten calves among the 37 were
those shown by Harold Elder;

Making use of up-to-date
equipment to get more work
done with less help is the
roost efficient and the most
profitable way to operate a
business.
In farming as in other in-
dustries power mechaniza-
tion steps -up production,
increases the output of available manpower, and keeps
costs down. The steady adoption of new machines to re-
place worn out or old-style equipment is an investment
that pays off in easier more profitable farming. '
In Massey -Harris machines you get the latest in equip-
ment built to save time, save labor, and save money.
Your local Massey -Harris dealer will be glad to give you
full particulars.
