White aid, "But let's not build our hopes arotuid that market." "The signs, of the tines are," Mr, White continued, "that our market to Great Britain after 1946 is not going to amount to very much,'•' be- cause Britain has recently signed a trade agreement with Argentine, which will result in a " very large proportion of Britain's mat re- quirements being met from Argen- tine beef production. • Although some, are inclined to take a pessimistic 'view of the fu- ture of beef producing in Canada, said Mr, White, there, are great un- developed possibilities yet in the home market, which can compensate for shrinkage of the British market, and uncertainty in the United. States market. The beef industry needs advertising, Mr, White deplaned. "We mustn't be in the horse -and - buggy days in the marketing of our beef. cattle." Roy Pepper of Tuckersmith was elected president of the Perth- Huron Association for 1940 when elections were held at the meeting. Mr. Pepper succeeds William Potts of Mitchell, in keeping' with the as- sociation's custom of alternating the presidency, secretaryship, and site of the annual 'meeting between Perth and Huron counties. • George Waldie of Stratford was elected vice-president, W. A. Culbert of Dungannon was elected second vice- president, and Bain Stewart of Clin- ton was appointed by the executive to the office of secretary -treasurer for 1946. Directors for 194(1 ere: Huron County -Howard Armstrong of Con- stance; Dr. M. W. Stapleton and J. M. Scott of Seaforth; R. M. Peck of Zurich, W. 0. Oestreicher of Credi- ton, Wilbur Turnbull of Brussels; Perth Comity -Lincoln White, Arn- old Robinson, and Roy Nethercott of St. Marys, Ben Thiel and William Potts of Mitchell, N. E. Whiting of Brenner, Stewart McGlllawee of Stratford. Lincoln White and R. M. Peck are 1946 delegates to the an- nual meeting of the Canadian Short- horn Association. Reporting on the association's 1945 show, held at Stratford, Geo. Waldie of Stratford said that it had been .the fifth annual show, the first and third having also been held at Stratford, while the second and fourth were at Exeter. The showing of steers, a new feature this year, proved itself a success, in 1Ir. Waldie's opinion, and should, he Suggested, be continued another } cal'. "We've got a breed of cattle," said Lincoln White, addressing the meet- ing, "that can stand on their own feet, but we've got to boost them. This is a competitive age. If you've a neighbor who's making a profit out et' beef cattle, tell people about it - advertise the breed." I•Ie had observed at the stock cat- tle show, this year, said Mr. White, that although the fat cattle were taking first place in the judging, they were not always commanding the top prices' at the auctions which followed, "The sane men were buying those cattle who had placed them the day before," Mr. White said; "but when It carne to putting their dollars into it they didn't pay too much atten- tion to the way they had placed them in the judging." Roy Pepper commented that at the Shorthorn show at Walkerton this year "the judges didn't seem to care a good deal about flesh over the ribs; they were looking for smoothness," All the cattle at Walk- erton were sold, and at good prices, he said, with the champion Shorthorn going at 30 cents a pound. Mechanized farming is likely to force the land into the hands of big operator's, said Dr. T. A. Robinson, Toronto surgeon and president of the Canadian Shorthorn Association, who was present at the meeting. "The high price of machinery," he said, "will not allow the small far- mer to buy this machinery and use it profitably on a small holding." Special attention to crop improve- ment, and scientific. management of pastures were urged by 'Dr. Rob- inson on his hearers. "There is no. easier way of producing meat," he said, "than letting the beast pick the grass itself. If you can make two or three blades of grass grow where one grew before, you are on your way to more economical beef production." "It is pretty well accepted," said Dr, Robinson, "that the Shorthorn min produce more meat in less time than any other breed of cattle." The champion Shorthorn at Chicago this. year, he said, sold at $10. a pound. "Shorthorn breeders should be lead- ers in livestock bre.editig." he con- tinued. "Don't be afraid to get rid of a poor bull. One crop of calves ing on strike, They Won't work with non-union men. The union men strike to make ether men join their 111110n- and this in' a democraey.

GETTING READY FOR BIG PLOWING MATCH .Active preparations are now un- der way for the Provincial plowing match to be held in this county in 1946. Heron county had been chos- en for this annual event when war interrupted the program, and with the return of peace preparations are being resumed for what is expected to be one of the biggest shows ever_ held in this part of Ontario. A meet- ing was .held at Clinton. on k'riday night last to make preliminary plans, and officers and 'committee heads were,. chosen.
