Friends Help Spread
10 -Year Accumulation
Of Fertilizer
Neighbors and friends of J. A.
McKenzie, Tuckersmith, helped him
spread a ten-year accumulation of
manure on his fields. The pile was
estimated at about..1.000 loads...
Just why he waited' this long, Mr. R.R. 1, Hensall; Lorne Warner, R.
McKenzie did not say, although he R. 3, Parkhill; Bob Parsons, R.R.
has been questioned about it many
times.
Among those helping were Ar-
thur Devereaux, Dale Nixon, Ryan
Bros., and Messrs. Elliott.
Mr. McKenzie plans to grow
wheat on the fertilized land.
In the big class of 37 feeder
calves paraded' for judging at the
Hensall show, the Elder entry edg-
ed out a calf fed by John McGre-
gor, R.R. 2, Kippen, for top place
in ,the show, and then brought a
price of 31, cents a pound to top
the sale list 'when the 37 calves
were auctioned.
The second -prize 'McGregor calf
was rated second-best by the bid-
ders, as well as by the show -ring
judge; it went at 303 cents, for the
second best price of the sale.
The showing and selling of the
37 calves was the climax of a
venturesome project undertaken in
the summer of 1951 by the Hensall
Fair Board. Directors of the Het3-
sall Show pledged their credit for
$6,000, to bring a shipment of range
calves from Western 'Canada and
place them out .with boys in the
Hensall district, under agreement
to show and sell the calves' at the
1952 spring show. The bold under-
taking was brought to a success-
ful conclusion on Friday.
Calves in. the feeder project were
weighed when they were allotted to
the 37 competitors last fall, and
were put across 'the scales again
at Hensall Fair on Feeday. Average
gain per animal was 325 pounds,
and total gain on the shipment
of calves was from about 15,000
pounds, when they were brought
from the West, to about 27,000
pounds on the day of the show.
Prize money of $200 paid' out'on the
basis of show -ring ,placings helped
balance accounts' for the boys who
fed cattle.
The big class of 37 calves, parad-
ed in sections in the arena of Hen-
sall Community Centre, was the
most difficult beef class to judge in
his many . years of show -ring ex-
perience, said Ephriam Snell, Bun
lett Township Shorthorn and Lei-
cester breeder, who made the ,plac-
ings.
Winners With Calves
Top ten calves among the 37 were
