Only 30 Poultry Men at Meetings
Groups Endorse Idea of Organizing
(By J. Carl
During the past week three
meetings were held in the county
in order to provide information to
the Poultry Producers on what
had happened since last year's an-
nual meeting, and to try to find
out what the Poultry Producers
wanted, if anything, from their or-
ganization.
The 1956 census tells us that

there were 3,363 poultry produc-
ers in the County at that time.
The total attendance at the three
meetings was 32. Rather small,
we think. It was suggested that
these meetings were not properly
advertised. Fair sized advertise-
ments appeared in 11 weekly pap-
ers plus some announcements over
radio. Along with this, 1,500 hand-
out notices were distributed to
about a dozen egg -grading stat-
ions to be given out to their pat-
rons. True we might have tried
the Ed. Sullivan show but finances
wouldn't permit.
Those attending the Wingham
meeting seemed to think that
there was a real danger of egg
production following the same un-
fortunate path of the broiler pro-
duction. Something in the way of
producer marketing must be de-
veloped to guarantee a market ev-
en though a profitable price might
not be possible at all times. Av-
erage number of layers per pro-
ducer attending, 1,225.
At Exeter there was no fear of
the egg production following verti-
cal integration and even at that
the broiler growers were doing
reasonably well. A resolution at
this meeting was approved: Resol-
ved that an organization of Huron
County Poultry Producers financed
by voluntary membership dues, be
formed for the purpose of assisting
the industry wherever possible.
From the discussion I got the im-
pression that sale of eggs could be
promoted but no action would be
taken in actual marketing. Layers
per producer attending 3,260.
At Clinton the meeting also
aproved the above resolution. Lay-
ers per producer 1,886.
NEW ATTENDANCE RECORD
(Goderich Signal -Star)
Attendance hit a new peak of
around 14,000 persons in the "best
ever" Young Canada Week, which
wound up here Saturday night.
As expected, Honest Ed's team
from . Toronto won the grand
championship, but they were given
a real run for their money by Ted
Williams' Goderich Pee Wees.
The Honest Ed's-Goderich con-
test, in which Toronto won 3-1,
was the best game of Saturday's
grand championship series.
The Toronto team earlier won
the "AA" championship, while
Goderich captured the "B" series
title for the seventh time in 10
years.
"Nip" Whetstone, an originator
of Young Canada Week, estimated
that attendance this year was 40
percent greater than in 1958 when
nearly 10,000 fans and players
filed in and out of the arena.
