Warden Leiper early in the campaign challenged Perth County Warden McCalllum and wagered that Huron would exceed its- quota by a greater percentage than did Perth, A large measure of the success of the ---campaign is due to the unique' cash or produce feature which result- ed in- vast quantities of goods being donated. Included in the produce donations, Agricultural Representative James C. Shearer, who was in charge' said, were apples, vegetables, grain, field beans, wood, loads of hay, cow. hides, fence posts, puppies,, goats,' pigs, calves, scrap iron. cutlery, fowl, eggs, baby chicks, tile and books.
