PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, February 16 Fall Fair Prize Lists It may seem foolish to discuss fall fairs in the midst of winter storms, but on the other hand the success of a fair next September is in a large measure dependent on the thought which is being given it now. Too frequently, fair committees, appointed at the annual meeting in January, are prone to forget about their responsibilities until a month or two before the fair. Then there is a mad rush to prepare prize lists An Order that they may be in the hands of exhibitors at least a few days before the fair opens. The tendency then is to look over the prize list for the previous year, make one or two minor changes, and use it over again. No thought is given to the experience gained at the pre- vious fair, or to whether or not the prize list recognizes current trends in agriculture in the district the fair serves. It is this method of prepar- ing a prize list that has resulted in - the retention of so many features that fifty years ago were of para- mount interest to farmers and the public, but which bear no relation to the practises of 1951. During the past two weeks Ontario Fair Associations have ,been holding their annual conventions in Toronto and speakers at the meetings there have laid emphasis on the import- ance of an up-to-date prize list—one that accurately mirrors the agricul- ture of the district the fair seeks to serve. In their prize lists, Deputy Agri- culture Minister C. D. Graham, told the delegates, agricultural societies should lean heavily toward the crops best suited to the district in which the fair was held. The production to be encouraged should always be consistent with the best farm man- agement practices for that commun- ity' Another speaking, commenting on judging competitions, warned: "To many, it seems that too much is spent trying to decide which is the better of two very good Holstein cows— without knowing about their milk record and butterfat test—or trying to judge between several highly -fit- ted beef cattle which, although it seems necessary that they are that way for present show -ring stand- ards, are not in condition which is practical for the ordinary farms throughout the country." Regretting the tendency of fair boards to ignore changing farming methods, he pointed out the horse had slipped from a position of prime importance to a relatively minor spot in most farm programs. "It is very difficult for many young men to understand how, in these sen- ior exhibitions, the horse still com- mands approximately the same per- centage of the price list as it did 50 years ago." Every fair board knows of re- dundant features that should be eliminated, or at least relegated to a place in the fair program consist- ent with their present-day import- ance. The rural fair occupies a place in the ' contnunity, the import- ance of which cannot be over -empha- sized. But to ensure that it retains rightful‘place, it must progress f With the times and properly reflect the agricultural practices of the day. r 1fIse Spending t th'i • titre of year when munici- al bodiop are giving thought to the '40 Walt :to be undertaken of u lieijlalities, :the following IM� comment in the Lean] ut, onleast trna. and News is particularly pertinent. "True ,economy does not consist in slashing expenses right and left. It is economy to cut off wasteful expen- diture and expenditure for things that are not needed or are not neces- sary, but it is not economy to stop spending for things that are needed and things that ire useful. Wouldn't it be, better to drop this word econ- omy and substitute therefore the term 'wise spending'?" How frequently have we seen oc- casions when maintenance pf public buildings, or of bridges, or of roads, has been neglected because of a so- called economy program? Councils, feeling that they are working in the interests of the public, decide to fore- go maintenance with the result that finally it becomes necessary to'carry out a major repair program at a cost much in excess of that which ordin- ary maintenance would have total- led. There is no true economy in such an attitude. On the contrary, it is a more costly procedure for the taxpayer_ r On Naming Children There is something intriguing in the manner in which names given children appear to ribs ih cycles. One can almost tell the age of an indi- vidual by his or her name, particu- larly if it happens to be one that en- joyed a run of great popularity. There was a time many years ago when a child had to earn its name. "Running Deer" obviously was an Indian youth, who ran with the speed- and grace of a deer. Nowa- days, names indicative of the traits of the child are not awarded until he or she commences school. Then he, who to his parents may be known as Alphonso, soon becomes Fat or Dopey, or Slim, to his friends. Later in history, parents indicat- ed the qualities they hoped\ for in their offsprings. The Germans wish- ed Albert, Bernard, Leonard, Louis and Robert to be respectively illus- trious, bold as a bear, brave as a lion, a famous warrior;' and bright in fame. From the Greek came Mar- garet, a pearl; Irene, peace) Sophia, wisdom, and Phyllis, a green bough. Violet, Rose and Lily were expected to be beautiful. Biblical and virtu- ous names were long the fashion— Moses and Daniel, Patience and Pru- dence, Faith, Hope and Charity. Many times the selection of a name is dictated by a desire to please a relative. Sometimes we have gen- eration after generation being bur- dened with a moniker which becomes more frightful the more frequently it is employed. On other occasions, the choice results from a fad of the moment, or because it seems pretty, or to the parents, sounds nice. Whatever may be the reaon un- derlying the selection, the only one to suffer is the child, and he has no opportunity to protest—that is, until it is too late. We read somewhere the other day a suggestion that might clear the matter. And that was that all chil- dren be designated by numbers un- til they are old enough to have a say in what, after all, is an exceedingly personal matter. "Listen Seven! Come Eleven !" sounds all right to us. What Other Papers Say: A Thing Of the Past? (Port Elgin Times) •- While hholidays are desirable from the standpoint of small stores, if larger stores remain open, then all may be forced to fall into line. It is now reported that chain stores are considering enlarging their staffs and remain open every day through- out the year. Port Elgin and other resort towns may find themselves in the position that, at least during July and August, they may have to stay open to meet the keen competition from large stores in larger centres. Half holidays may soon be out under present-day conditions. 1}; 210 i .,1 iRQN IQ� El3RII,A. 1,9 Sleighing Is Out in the Cold ($y John Gould, in Christian Science Monitor) The issue under discussion was whether or not Jingle Bells is a Christmas carol, about which no- body seems to care; but the merits of a sleigh ride can be considered a moot question. For your informa- tion, you who wrote to me, the vote runs about 50-50, with the vehem- ence on my side. Those who dis- agreed gently chided me, but those who felt as I did were outspoken in their felicitations and said I hit the nail squarely on the head and drove it out of sight. So we learn, and to those who admire sleigh rides more than 1 do, my advice is cheerfully proffered: Go ahead, you do it. The rest of us will compose ourselves by the comfy fire and play checkers and permit •the frost to settle over the countryside as it listeth. I know now, though, that sleigh ride enthusiasts abound, and this makes me wonder about the future of sleigh ® riding. As I sit here matching Joe try to get me out of a dodge -corner, pondering on the future, I feel it is dark. I suppose within gunshot I could find a sleigh tucked away in the dusty back end of somebody's barn. It might not be ready to go, but with a little fixing it might stand one more trek. There might even be a light harness if you knew were to look. It wouldn't have a breastband, because the antiquers have picked up everything with bells on it, and I suppose the breast band is now hanging by some front door in Connecticut. Most of our younger set wouldn't know the breastband from a hayknife any- way, and since there's no horse to harness it doesn't make much difference. The only horses nearby now are farm chunks or society animals. One couple keeps a. couple of light horses for amusement, and in salu- brious weather they ride them sad- dlewise. When snow comes they get out a pretty old red pung and are forever trying to get somebody to go riding with them. Then they have to finds somebody for the next time. Other than that, the horse and sleigh situation around here is glum. But there's a worse problem than that. Snow. Times have changed, it I may coin a phrase. I will ignore the likelihood that we are in the low phase of a climatic cycle, and that the snows -vf yesteryear don't come so fluently. Apart from that, even the snow we get is sleigh - less. When it starts to spit, our road commissioner assembles his crew and the big trucks caloop out on- to the highways and byways 'with all blades down. As long as it snows, they keep plowing. When the wind thauls around and clears, our roads are as bare as this checkerboard. A lot of cliff dwel- lers who venture into the sticks only in the summer don't realize that. It's the cities, today, that get tied up by snow. A few inches will paralyze them, but out in the coun- try four feet means nothing. Even drifted snow is controlled by snow feuces erected every fall. If, as sometimes happens with wet snow, the plows can't clean ev- erything off the hare dirt, the art- ful road commissioner ,has another trick. He 'attaches a whirligig to the back of a hydraulic dump truck and strews a mixture of salt and sand. This concoction gets a working over by automobile wheels and in a short time the ice is go- ing away. At this point a horse attached to a sleigh or even a set -over pung, would be balled up in ten feet. ("Balled up" was originally an equine expression. Being balled up means the horse has snowballs on his shoes and can't trot too well. I insert this information not so much to amaze you, as to show that I know a thing or five about hors- es.) If anybody started from home in a sleigh on a good icy highway, the salt crew would strand him and somebody would have to go after pung, horse and sleighers with a can. It would be a Iot like Marty Provencher's wife, who somnambulated onto the peak of the barn, and then woke up. The neighborhood was quite a time bringing her down. So I think sleighing, all in all, no matter how highly its promoters recommend it, is going to remain a lost cause. Its many sweet mem- ories will remain, and for those who recall it fondly no uncouth rid- icule will have the slightest effect. If occasion arises to embrace it again, you should embrace it, if you care to, while you have the chance. As the world moves on, sleighing moves out. One lady asked if I had ever gone on a straw ride, cradled be- neath blankets, a gay band singing in the moonlight and arriving at length where a chowder waited. Ah! I almost did. Once we hired Nathan Dustin to drive us, and he came with his Nova Scotia hay- rack mounted on traverse runners. The rack body didn't fit well, and when we went by Lovell's place we all got dumped in the brook. Sleigh riding in the white water of Lovell's culvert during a Janu- ary moon, the gay company floun- dering in a squishy mass of sioshy oat straw while the team ran away, is not fun. Not wholly. As Nate's cajoling voice disappeared up the road like a spent clap of August thunder 'dissipating itself in the sky, I pronounced the whole ven- ture a failure. I don't remember all the specific incidents of the out- ing, but I remember it was a fail- ure. That's two out of three, Joe —now it's your move. To The Editor Toronto, Feb. 10, 1951. Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: It is mighty plain to- me, ome, and just as encouraging, to see the increasing trend to rural organization along the agricultural front these days. In your "Farm News" feature, G.1VI.G., gives chap- ter and verse concerning plans "to co-ordinate efforts of all farm or- ganizations. in Huron County." If an outsider may be guided by the current reports as recorded in the news -columns, the farmers are 'making yards' in this comparative- ly new business of working togeth- er, -in order to improve their bar- gaining power, in de�iing with the tightly -organized people they must deal with, in town and city. This is a memo to express a thought or two on the problems being faced by the dairy farmers —not alone in Huron Conray, but right across Canada—and, as well expressed by your columnist, "their efforts to protect the industry from being destroyed or driven into bankruptcy by substitutes made from imported oils." (I am told that in the U.S., no margarine may be based upon imported raw ma- terials). I ,have not sufficient information to be able to feel quite sure that the proposed direction toward building and exploiting an all -dairy spread, is the right one. Of course I realize that this target is yet only at the research Ievel, and that only when a satisfactory 'all -dairy spread' has actually been success- fully processed, advertised and sold to the public, at prices competitive with margarine, will all the conse- quences be known. Nevertheless, it is disturbing (at least, it is to this reader) to learn that, in Janu- ary, according to the Ottawa Bur- eau of Statistics, "butter produc- tion slumped, while margarine out- put increased." Now, sir, I am thinking in terms of the dairy farmer as the raw material source for No. 1 creamery butter, rather than in terms of an all -dairy spread, so to speak, 'knocking the present substitute spread out of the ring.' What effects are likely to flow from a completely successful all - dairy substitute? May it not do more damage to butter than mar- garine is dping? I'd like to have the experts define the road ahead. CANUCK Good' Seed Brings Better Yields The profit from growing grain can often be substantially increas- ed by the use of good seed of an adapted variety. For example, the use of commercial feed oats as seed, although still a' practice among many farmers, has little to commend it. Apart from being a possible source of noxious weeds there is no assurance that the grain is all of acne variety, or that it would be adbpted to the area in which it is to be sown. Varietal adaptation is of prime importance in the ultimate yields obtained. In oats, as in other cereal grains, the performance of a variety depends largely on the environmental con- ditions under which it is grown. A variety which may be considered high yielding in one locality may perform very poorly in another. A farmer is wise to choose for seed a variety which has proved to he• adapted to his own district, Plant breeders are continually striving to improve varieties by breeding into them such factors' as -resistance to diseases and insect pests, lodging resistance, high yield, and better quality, as E. J. Zillin- sky, Cerealist at the Central EX- perimental Farm, Ottawa, points out. The new varieties are testecl along with the standard varieties: in numerous replicated te4ts!s.eriise Canada.

From The Huron Expositor February 19, 1926 Mr. and Mrs. Fergus Bullard, of Winthrop, entertained a few of their neighbors to a progressive euchre party on Friday night. Master Clarence Tuffin, Staffa, had the misfortune to break his leg while playing at school this week. Miss Ada Galbraith, of Bayfield, has returned from a delightful trip extending over four months time, visiting relatives and friends at Douglas, Wyoming, Denver, Colo- rado, Manson, Washington, Van- couyer, Victoria, Winnipeg and To- ronto. On Thursday evening of last week- the curlers tendered a ban- quet at the Commercial Hotel to W. D. Stewart& of St. Paul, Minn., the patron saint of the Seaforth Curling Club. Some 30 members sat down to an. excellent dinner, after which there was a short toast list, including "Our King and Coun- try, "Ipur guests," and the "Roarin' game," and responded to by W. J. Duncan, K. M. McLean, F. C. Jack- son of Montreal, and W. D. Stew- , art Solos were rendered by T. S. Smith, Jack Beattie and. James A. Stewart. While out shooting rabbits near Roxboro on Friday, Dr. R.. R. Ross shot two, one of which weighed eight pounds and the other nine pounds. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick McGrath, of St. Columban, celebrated th,e twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding on Saturday eveninglast,. when about fifty of their friends and neighbors gathered at their home to extend. congratulations. Large catches of herring have been made through the ice by fish- ing along the shore of Lake Hur- on, and the fishing usually last un- til the ice break-up. Mr. Thomas Forsyth, of the 2nd concession of Tuckersmith, deliver- ed this week a fine team of horses to Mr. Jas. Smillie, of the London Road South. On Monday evening a box social was held in the basement of Car- mel Church, Hensall, under the aus- pices of the Welfare of Youth Club. After the program the boxes were sold and a pleasant social evening was spent. The sum of $65.00 was realized. vincial Cereal Variety Committees. Information regarding these varie- ties may be obtained from the lo- cal agricultural representative or from the nearest Experimental Stations The best seed to use does not merely imply the right variety, but it must be uniform plump seed shav- ing a high percentage germination and free of weeds gad seed of oth- er grains and varieties. The high standards maintained by the Cana- dian Seed Growers' Association makes the purchase of pedigreed seed a safe buy. The little extra cost and care spent on obtaining and maintaining goad seedis an excellent investment towards high yields and top quality.

Seed contaminated with weed seeds will increase cost of production and may lessen for years to come, the crop yield of the land on which it is sown.

Pollen, son of Mr. Edwards Pollen, Exeter, was awarded the Silver Star, the United States-. fourth highest award for gallantry in action. He has been missing in. action since November. Pollen, who joined U.S. forces after serv- ing in World War II, was decorat- ed for "Gallantry in action against the enemy on Nov. 1, near Unsan, Korea." During an enemy attack against his company, heavy casual ties were inflicted by extremely, heavy enemy mortar, artillery and small arms fire. "Seeing that a member of his squad was_seriously wounded by machine gun fire," the - citation reads, "Pvt. Pollen volun-- tarily left his covered position and administered first aid to the wound- ed man lying in an exposed posi- tion tion of the enemy fire." With com- 'plete disregard for his personal. safety, he carried the wounded sol- dier about 200 yards through in- tense fire to a safer position. A. veteran of three years' service mirk the Canadian Army in World War Il, the former Exeter youth joined U.S. forces in 1944 and served a year in Japan.
