Says Scheme Poorly Publicized
The flow of information about
the new central hog -marketing
scheme for Ontario has been poor-
ly organized by the Ontario Hog
Producers' Association, said Orval
Taylor. County branches, he said,
' have not had the information with
1 which to explain the scheme to
township organizations, or to indi-
vidual farmers.
The Huron Hog Producers' execu-
tive, he said, has been trying for
months to get copies, from the On-
tario Hog Producers' Association,
of the regulations for the new
marketing scheme, but without suc-
cess.
There have been many call• re-
cently, reported G. W. Montgomery,
agricultural representative, at the
Department of Agriculture office in
Clinton, by farmers asking for ex-
planations of the hog -marketing
scheme. Mr. Montgomery suggest-
ed that a pamphlet should be pre-
pared and printed, which could be
distributed to farmers who produce
hogs. _

WAY UP in Alaska, within the
Arctic .Circle, one 70 -year-old
gardener has found how to get his
full quota of home-grown vege-
table vitamins. He works garden-
ing wonders by "trapping" the
'brief summer sun with reflecting
aluminum foil barriers, set up
behind his vegetables.
This Arctic application takes a
leaf out of the book of modern
builders and others who make use
of aluminum's remarkable re-
flecting and insulating properties.
Demand for Canadian aluminum
in foil, sheet, rod, tube and other
forms today totals one ' billion
pounds a year. When Alcan com-
pletes its present expansion pro-

U.S. Market Prospects
The reopening of the United
Stated market to Canadian live-
stock and livestock products in
March, Mr. Taylor predicted. is not
likely to give any great help to
Ontario hog producers. "We may
get rid of some of our choice bac-
on and hams," he said, "but the
price isn't likely to be attractive."
On the same subject, Robert S.
McKercher, Dublin. said he believes
that when the United States mark-
et is open again, Canada may sell
some beef and some pork; "but I
can't see that the prices are going
to be much better than they are
now," he continued. It may be a
benefit, said' Mr McKercher, to have
the United. States market as a stab-
ilizing force to affe&t the Canadian
market. "Remember," he said,
"we're only promised a floor price
until the embargo is lifted."
McKercher, R.R. 1, Dublin, presid-
ed. Ray Tergott, Waterloo, field -
man for the Ontario Federation,
was present.
An invitation will be extended to
the Huron County Junior Farmers
Association and the Huron County
Soil and Crop. Improvement Associ-
ation. to join with the county fed-
eration to promote a county field
day. A committee of three from
each organization will meet to dis-
cuss the plans.
Secretary Gordon Greig, Blue -
vale, was instructed to call a meet-
ing
eeting of the county dairy committee
to study present-day problems con-
fronting the dairy industry.
A leadership training course, the
first of its type, will be held in
Clinton in March, at the agricul-
tural office, for federation leaders.
The community programs branch of
the Department of Education will
be asked to assist with the course
which will include talks on parlia-
mentary procedure, and the proper
methods of conducting meetings.
Plana are to be drawn up by the
secretary for a method of gather-
ing statistical information on farm
prices and production in Huron
County... Charts will be forwarded
to a number of producers.
Urges Loyal Support
Harry Sturdy, Auburn, elected
vice-president for 1953, joined oth-
er speakers in advising that Huron.
even though it opposed the central
marketing scheme, should loyally
support it now that it is in being.
"We fought it right down the
line," said Mr. Sturdy, "but we
have no intention of saying 'or do-
ing anything against it now."
'I'm in favor of any kind of
organized marketing," said Mr. Mc-
Kercher. "I think it behooves all
of us to try to make this thing
work."
Gordon Greig. Bluevale secretary-
fieldman of the Federation, is being
asked this year for 50 cents a farm
to support the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture. If this contribution
is to 'be from Huron, he said, it
will be necessary for every town-
ship Federation in Huron to col-
lect fees at least amounting ,,p two-
fifths of a mill on rural assess-
ments.

PRPCES—Declines In cattle and
calf prices in 1952 were a little
more than the gains made in 1951
over 1950. Average, all cattle, all
markets $2Q decrease 29.1 per cent;
calves $22.20, decrease 32 per cent.
Hogs averaged $25.05, decrease of
22.6 per cent and lowest average
since 1947. Sheep and Iambs $21.40
decrease 27.7 per cent. The year
opened with cattle on a descending
price scale. Following the foot and
mouth disease outbreak and intro-
duction of price support measures
weekly fluctuations were usually
small. From March to the year
end, the lowest weekly average for
good light steers Toronto was
around $22 (October), highest $27
(July). Lower grades which a year
earlier showed greatest increases
were the most sharply discounted
in 1952. Declines on choice and
good steers, heifers and fed calves
were 24 per cent medium and com-
mon 33 per cent, good ands medium
cows and low grade heifers 33 per
cent, common cows and canners, 38

Weeks, Not a Lifetime
Some forms of mental illness,
once regarded as incurable insan-
ity that required permanent con-
finement, are now treated in special
wards of general hospitals and are
ready for discharge within a fey
weeks . Today, after years of re-
search, medical scientists find that
mental disturbances have many
forms and degrees of intensity and
duration, a ' large proportion of
them being curable if they are tak-
en in time and given proper care
and treatment Without pronrpt care
at the earliest signs of such dis-
turbances, the trouble may become
deep seated and the cure less cer-
tain.

"Premmy"
The premature baby, affections
ately known in most hospitals as
a "premmy," faces life with a
handicap from the start. Prema-
turity ie the greatest single cause
of infant mortality in Canada. Pre-
vention and care are the most ef-
fective means of attacking the prob-
lem and proper medical care and
supervision of the expectant moth-
er is of very great importance. Ex-
pert care of the child born -ton
soon is essential and, in most c
es, be must spend time in an incu-
bator, until he is able tq live like
a normal infant. The family doc-
tor or prenatal clinic should be -con-
sulted by the expectant mother at
the earliest possible date so that
diet, exercise and care of the gen-
eral health may be prescribed.
Such instructions should, be rigidly
followed.

4, 1891, that Annie Hall Barr 'be-
came the 'bride of George King,
fourth son of John and Eliza Davi-

In Bayfield 50 Years
Mrs. King recalls that they had
no elaborate reception, and, follow-
ing the banquet, they left for
Wingham, where the groom was-
assooiated with his brother in the
bakery business. The only confetti.
with which they were showered
was snowballs from the flying feet
of the groom's pacer, "11oyaal Tom,"
as he drew their 'cutter swiftly ov-
er
ver the pitch holes to Wingham. Af-
ter a year in Wingham, George
King took his wife to make their
home in his native village, and for
more than tib years they have liv-
ed in the sante home on Main St.
When 1e returned to Bayfield,
Mr. King, who was always fond of
horses, commenced teaming. His
long hauls were' of coal from Bruce -
field, adistance ofseven miles,
to patrons in'Beyfield, and freight-

School Trustee 14 Years
'With the advent of trucks' and
tractors, the long hauls and log-
ging ceased, and he turned to jabs
about the village and to farming.
In later years he has spent his
time working in his garden' and
tending his lawn.
Interested in education, Mr. King
served 14 consecutive years as a
trustee of the Bayfield Public
School Board.
Before her marriage Mrs. King
was a tailoress with the firm of
Jackson Bros., Clinton. In those
days there was a great deal of
hand work on men's overcoats, par-
ticularly the fine black ones worn
by clergymen. And so she learned
to sew a fine firm seam by hand,
an art that she retains to this day.
In the past few years she has made
beautiful quilts for her Emily, as
well as for the Trinity 'Anglican

Ottawa. It is preliminary to the
more detailed Livestock Market
Review which is released later in
the year.
OUTPUT —Net marketings at

de r`ease 8.4 per cerft; hogs 6,699e
056, increase 36.8 per cent; sheep
526,027, increase 12.5 per cent.
QUALITY—Lacking au export
outlet, fewer stockers and feeders
came to market and cattle were
finished to heavier weights and
better quality at home. Grade A
carcasses made 17 per cent of to-
tal sales (1951-11 per cent) grade
B, 18 per cent (1951-14 per cent).
Average dressed weight, of inspect-
ed kill at 513.4 lb. was 9.3 Ib, heav-
ier than 1951 and among highest
on record. Grade A hogs were 28.5
per cent of total, a decrease of 2.8
per cent from 1951 and lowest 'for
eight years. There were increases
of 3 per cent in both common and
medium calves and common lambs.
EXPORTS AND I•MPORTS-=The
United States placed an embargo
oil the importation of Canadian
livestock and meats on February
25 due to the foot and mouth dis-
ease outbreak. Cattle exports to
the United States up to February
25 'were 12,642 compared with 44,-
105 in the same period of 1951. Ex-
ports for the year 195 lwere 210,-
000 head, Prior to the embkrgo
Canadian prices were generally
above an export basis and 3,078
slaughter•- cattle were imported
from the United States. .Following
imposition of the U.S. embargo, un-
der a three-way agreement with
New Zealand and the United. King-
dom substantial quantities of beef
were shipped to the United King-
dom. Beef exports for the year at
70 million pounds were 24 per cent
below 1951. Nearly all of the 1961
exports went to the United States.
FEEDERS — With shipping re-
strictions in effect during a large
part of the year (until mid-August
in Canada), the intake of feeder
stock was the smallest for 13 years.
Feeder cattle shipped to the coun-
try' at 166,800 were down 32 per
