The game of Ibasketball,,invented thirty-seven, years ago to meet the' need for a Vigorous competitive game, -interesting alike to players and spec- tators, and playable either indoors or, outdoors, seriously, 'invaded Huron' County this winter with the formation on of a. Huron County League. The Seaforth. Collegiate Girls had sone outdoor ,experience with basket- ball in `the Sonttner; but had. their first taste of the indoor: game at Clin- ton' on the 15th. . The Seaforth Col- legiate Bqys had their . first experi- ence of the game `altogether also at Clinton the same night. The less: said about the scores the better, but it was a m,ost enjoyable game, and many wished that ell the members of the Seaforth Board of High School Trustees could have been'- present to see 'the new Clinton Building and gather ideas for the building - and equipping of an up-to-date gymnas- ium, with adequate, floor space, dress- ing Dooms, showers and lockers. An assembly hall like that in +Clinton, capable of seating not only the whole school• biit several hundred visitors, would also be, a welcome addition. at Seaforth, The 'taste of basketball . at Clinton whetted the appetites of the Seaforth pupils.for more, and after a very busy Saturday and Monday the old Sea- forth gyutnasiuin (1) was ready for the scheduled game with the visitors from the Mitchel•1 High Scheol. The games were fast and furious, but withal good-natured.. The .spec- tators—in numbers fargreater than ordinary arithmetic could' account for in the limited space behind the north goaland on top of the' ladder, were mist enthusiastic in -their applause for The visitors had the best of the first quarter of the girls' game. The home -team •pulled into the lead in the second quarterl The last two quar- ters, with a couple of fresh players on. the team, the visitors pulled ahead again and finished with a score of thirty-six to twenty -:five. '00 the boys' side, the score was held fairly, close during the first half, but Mitchell pulled ahead in the sec- ond half. With the prospect of another week of practice and study of the game, with the gynnnasium floor now mark- ed and tiie baskets equipped with pro- per backboards by our most kind and helpful caretaker, Mr. Laing, the Seaforth `.Collegiate boys are looking forward to a real tussle with the play- ers from.

E.Livorg stop of ul H lettan ave interesting art of g g re P the Farmers', convention in Toronto in. December. Mr. Livingston stated it was the most enthusiastic conven- tion he everhad the pleasure of at-, ten ding. - The secretary of the : Club; ' R: J. McMillan, Who- is also a director of the 'Farmers' Co-operative -Co.,gave an interes'tin'g resume of the activities of 'the company He pointed out the great success which has been achiev- ed- by the co-operative marketing, of many fdrm. products, • Mr, ...McMillan spoke of the popular - it of. the wheat pool with the far - 3.P m r 1 e s of the province, and stated that in a very short time seventy-lfive or eighty -er-cent of the farmers will have signed' contracts to market their grain through the pool. • It is• the intention. of the cossepany, •Mr. McMillan 'stated, to promote the shipping of live stock under the con- tract system.. It,is hoped by this me- thod to secure more . orderly ,mar.ke't- ing 'of.the live stock produced in this 'province, consequently .preventing too heavy supplies from striking the market at one time, and steadying the, 'price throughout the year. •Mr.. W . H. 'Armstrong of Hallett gave a • most- interesting address en the subject, "`:Cite Production of Baby Beef .for the. 'Market.", ,Mr. Arm- strong has a good herd of accredited ISltorthbrns on his one hundred acre farm adjoining' the village of Kin - burn 'and specializes in the Production' of baby beef.• IHis total production from a -herd of twelve cows, with the exception oc- casionally.o'f a heifer to keep his herd tip to standard, goes to the market in the form of baby beef. At the outset Mr. Armstrong stressed the necessity of a good foundation of stock to be- gin with. Well 'bred cows, "thorough- bred , preferred," " of good size and P quality,,aid a sire of the best breed- ing obtaina-ble, with individuality and substance. lira Armstrong aliows'all his calves • to nurse 'for a period of 'front' six to eight Months, keeping thein in the stable at all tunes; in Small individual box Stalls when they are. young and in larger pens of two and three es they approach the finish- ing stage..• 1I -le is a firm believer in the silo and corn ensilage, and starts all his calves to eat -a little ensilage, if it is' in sea- son, when -they are about three months old, His grain ration for his baby beef consists of a little wheat bran and mixture of oats and barley rolled through a grain crusher, sup- plemented with a little oil -'cake meal as the finishing period approaches. Henever tarns this young stock to pasture,.btit keeps a supply of well - cured hay on hand at all times, prefer' ably a mixture. `of' red clover, alfalfa, yellow blosont sweet clover, 'and a little timothy. '';VIr, Armstrong feeds his calves until they are about ten or twelve months old, and they usually attain a, weight of around 800 pounds each,,atid he believes that the last 200 pounds is most profitable, 1He'stressed the necessity of keep- ing the animais clean and dry at all times and excepting when he is extra busy he gives his stock a daily clean- ing with comb and brush, and they have access all the time to pure drink- ing water and a lick -of salt, A•t.• the conclusion of Mr. Arm- strong's address an interesting lis - cession on baby beef production was led by G. W. 'Wheatley of the sixth Concessionof Hullett. Mr, Wheatley's method of producing baby beef dif- fers from Mr. Armstrong's consider- ably. He keeps a herd of eight good. 'grade 'Shorthorn cows and his total production finds its way to market in the form of baby beef.- He allows scarcely any of his calves to nurse, but pail feeds them all, and in' addi- UNITED CHURCH ANNUAL MEETING. tion' buys from four td six calves at birth every year and finishes them for baby beef. During the last fifteen months or very little Mare, Mr. Wheatley has. sent to the market fifteen baby beef which have netted hint an average of eighty-six dollars •:per head, and in ad- dition he had cream the theq ues f0 t e year 19'29 considerably in excess of •$400 Mr. Wheatley feeds Whole milk for only about bwo weeks and then swings gradually to separated milk and wen this calves ere four or five weeks old they are on a ration of separated .milk and eating a few pulped roots and rolled oats supplemented with a sprinkle of mgllasine meal as they grow older. On account of having to milk the cows by hand and pail feed the calves, Mr. Wheatley admits that there is a lot more work than by Mr, Arm, st on 's method but the cream chc r g e- ques account for the extra .labor in- volved, in his opinion. The method of feeding 'during the last two months is practically the same with both producers, with the exception that Mr. Wheatley feeds pulped roots and Mr. Armstrong corn ensilage when they are available. !A verythoughtful and instructive address was 'd'elivered by W. V. Jef- ferson of Tuckersmith, taking for his. subject, "Root :Hog, or Die," Mr. Jefferson pointed out the power of organization' in many lines of indus- try, There has been a merge by, all occupational groups, he stated', and if the farmers did not build a powerful organization of their own, they are going to be left behind. Mr. Jefferson's address was .punct- ua'ted by a, number of humorous a'nec- d'otes and was exceedingly well re- ceived. +Owing :to so match time being taken up with the discussion of "Baby Beef Production" the programme as pre- viously advertised was not presented in full. The lecture, "My `Country," .Which was to be delivered by Joseph For- rest of Tuckersmith, was unavoidably held over for a future occasion. The programme for the 'February meeting is now .being arranged and further no- tice will be given in these columns.

It was describedh b tpresent Y use as the finest ever attended and the older members of the congregation were of theopinion, that 1929 had been the best year in the history of the church; The reports given by the' various organizations .showed advances which were gratifying to all. The treasurer of the local funds re- ported the year es ending with no lia- bilities and with well over $400 in the treasury. The contributions to the Missionary and M'aintenan'ce Bund were reported bythe treasurer of .that fund to be in excess of the a• location• o 1 f250ti 0 The Women's Missionary 'Society also succeeded in going over the top, and85 $ S were sent forward. The Ladies' Aid Society had a fine' showing and' reported that after all the expenlitures of the year, more than $600 of a balance remained in the treasury. The Young People's League con- tributed $100 to the Missionary and Maintenance Fund and in addition had carried out the construction of a fine tennis court on the church grounds. In the expenses of the court the C.IG,T.T. assisted to the extent of $25 and the Tuxis treasury to the extent of $29. An increased interest has been ap- parent in the Sunday School, Besides raising funds for all current expenses,. the sum of $127 was contributed to the missionary work of the church. The Mission Bend League is con- tinuing to be a useful organization in the training of the junior members of the Sunday School. The main projects of the Philathea Class were the making'of two ladies life members of the W.M.S. and the furnishing of a ward in the Scott Me- morial. Hospital. .The retiring elders and stewards were re-elected and Mr. John Mc- Nay was elected as elder to take the place of Mr. Thomas Grieve who was called away during the year. It was proposed to install a church acousticon and a committee was ap- pointed to look after arrangements. The question of a new organ was discussed and the Official Board was asked to appoint a representative committee to look into the situation and report in due time .to" the congre- gation. Very complimentary remarks were spade as to the work of the pastor, his wife and daughter and a pressing in- vitation was extended by a standing vote to Mr. Lane to remain for anoth- er year. Mrs, Lane was also present- ed with a beautiful bouquet of roses. North Side congregation gratefully acknowledges the goodness of Al- mighty God in the past year and its dependence upon Hint for guidance, wisdom and a spirit trttly Christian' for the future.
