Farm Newe of Huron With -the thermometer recording a low of eighteen degrees above zero last Wednesday morning, cou- pled with the fact that we had four to five inches of snow, all out- side farm activity has been brought to a halt and all livestock is now in for winter stabling. Annual meet- ings and banquets of farm organ- izations are the order of the day and to date they have all been well attended. The winning of the Queen's Guineas competition by Murray Gaunt, of the Lucknow 4-H Beef Calf Club, in addition to giving more recognition to the 4-H pro- gram in Huron County, will also stimulate increased interest in 4-H club work.

SMITH PHONE 792 — SEAFORTH by the Women's Missionary Socie- ty of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. was held in Knox Pres- byterian Church, Goderich, Novem- ber 4, with delegates present from the auxiliaries of the Huron Pres- byterial from Goderieh, Seaforth, Clinton. Hensall. Belgrave, Blyth and Auburn. Mrs. D. Glenn Camp- bell, of Seaforth, president of the Presbyterial, presided. At the morning session, group meetings were led by Miss Bessie McConneIl, R.N., India, and Miss" MacEachern, Regional Secretary of the Hamilton -London Synodical. Miss MacEachern led the discus- sion on Program Planning for the W.M.S. meetings. The points brought forward were: more. mem- bers taking part; more co-opera- tion; more sentence prayers for work at home and abroad, and more reading of the study book and affiliated books, and better plan- ned meetings. In the afternoon Miss Athalie Read, Deaconess of Vancouver, spoke of the work of National Mis- sions at the ports of- Montreal and Quebec City ports, French Protest- ants in Quebec and work among New Canadians. She spoke also of the great work being done at main- tenance camps along the Alaska Highway. Of especial interest were her personal experiences with young people in Vancouver, where she is working among drug addicts, many of them in their teens. She said, "Nothing can destroy souls like drugs. and nothing can cure like the power of God. It is won- derful in these days of a changing Canada to have a changeless Christ." At the evening session Miss Bes- sie McConnel, R.N., India, thrilled her listeners with the story of her work as nurse in the Bhil field of India, where she served by mobile units and in hospitals and in Vel- lan Christian. Medical College. Her colored films. depicting her work, the story of the development of India through the work done by missionaries and native Christian workers, brought about a determ- ination in the hearts of many to do more for the church at home and overseas. Storage of Farm Machinery The useful Life and service of many farm machines is shortened through the lack of proper protec- tion and safe storage, states G. L. Byers. Department of Agricultural Engineering; Ontario Agricultural College. Since most machines are used only a few weeks each season. their total period of annual ser- vice is rather short. However, the chief enemies of machines—decay, rust and corrosion—are active the year round. Today, there are available to the farmer rust -proofing compounds which are doing an excellent job in protecting exposed surfaces on farm machinery from the elements. These compounds can be applied quickly and easily by means of a brush or rag, or diluted and spray- ed on with a simple spray atomizer. A small amount of time, effort and expense given to the protection of farm implements will return divi- dends in the form of improved per- formance, longer service, ease of operation, and lower operating Costs. Seedbed preparation machines should have all dirt removed and the polished surfaces thoroughly coated with a rust -proofing com- pound. Grain drills should have all seed and fertilizer removed from the drill. since any grain or fertilizer left in the hopper will col- lect and hold moisture. This, in turn will rot wood and corrode met- al. The drill should be stored in a dry place, set level with a board under the drill in the event of its being stored on a dirt floor. Any polished part should be coated with a rust preventative. Harvesting machines should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected. worn parts replaced and the ma- chinery returned to a serviceable condition. Knotters and such mech- anisms should be coated with a grease or a rust preventative. Guard,points and exposed cutting CANADIAN' PLOWMEN ABROAD by WILL C. BARRiE, Mopg,, 1955 CANADIAN PLOWING TEAM (W. C. Barrie, of Galt, Ont., a past president of the Ontario Plowmen's Association a n d manager of the Canadian plow- ing team at the third annual World Plowing Match in Swe- den. has sent home on -the -spot reports of his trip with team members Joe Tran, of Clare- mont, Ont., and Ivan McLaugh- lin, of Stouffville, Ont. Here is the. third of his reports.) UPPSALA, SWEDEN.—If any- body had told me a year ago that I would celebrate my 71st birthday high above the English Channel and the North Sea, I would have ld him he was crazy. But there I was, on my way to the World Plowing Match, along with our Canadian plowmen, Joe Tran and Ivan McLaughlin,plus Mrs. Barrie, Mrs. McLaughli, two other teams of plowmen — from Northern Ireland and Britain—and a number of World Plowing Organ- ization officials and their friends. When word got around that it was my birthday, the whole party of- fered their congratulations. The air was clear and our view of the flate English farmland on the banks of the Thames was a sight we will long remember. While skirting the coast of Hol- land we could see quite plainly the many miles of dykes with Amster- dam 10 miles to our right. Our flight took us over Heligoland, that German Island in the North Sea, which had been so heavily fortified by the Kaiser Wilhelm previous to the First World War. Water Shortage By the time we were approach- ing Oslo it was getting dark and the lights were coming on as we flew up the coast of Norway. To view this country from the air and see the great number of lakes, riv- ers and fjords, would lead one to think that conservation of water would present no problem in that country. On the contrary, as we learned later, Norway, Sweden and Finland all had the driest summer in many years. In fact, the plow- ing fields at Uppsala, where the match is to be held, have been so dry, that had it not been for daily artificial watering during the past month, there would have been no match. Our plane stopped a very short time in Oslo, and then took off for Stockholm. There we were wel- comed by Bengt Stegander, the re- presentative for the World Plowing Organization in Sweden. Mr. Sten - gander is manager of the Swedish plow team. In 1953 he accompan- ied the Swedish team to Canada and last year to the match at Kil- larney. He, at the present time, is secretary of the Swedislwi. Farm Youth Federation. Our group was taken to the Hotel Malmen, a very modern hotel built just four years ago. which com- pares favorably with any we have in Canada. It did seem strange to hear the Swedish language when we arrived, but on the next day when the' groups from Norway, Denmark, Finland. Italy, Belgium. Germany. Holland and the United States came. it sounded like the United Nations. Foresty Exhibit That morning after breakfast Al- fred Hall, secretary of the W.P.O.. suggested we might like to see a forestry exhibition in a park in Stockholm. The exhibition was held in a park of over 100 acres. known as the Natural Museum of Stock- holm. on a mountain high above the city. The taxis took us half way up the mountain side and then the rest of the way was made on an escalator several hundred feet long. The exhibition, portraying Swe- den's most valuable natural re- source was spread over a large area, showing the many uses for parts should be covered to protect workers and livestock. Canvas conveyors. etc., should.be thorough- ly cleaned, dried and stored in a dry, ps tected place away from rodents, birds, poultry, etc. At the time of storage a list should be made of all broken or worn parts that need replacing. These can then be replaced during the idle season. thus eliminating un- necessary delay when the machine is needed. Even though a machine .is clean- ed, reconditioned and lubricated when placed in storage. it needs to be cleaned again and thoroughly lubricated when removed from storage and restored to service.

British Track Star in Exeter Famous British track star, Gor- don Pirie. who ran a three-mile race on the S.H.D.H.S. track this summer, has written to Recreation Director Doug Smith, expressing his thanks for the "enjoyable trip we had to your town. I shall cher- ish the memory of the race track." said Pirie. "and the - terrific en- thusiasm shown by everyone for our poor showin.g. We couldn't hope to match your town's hospi- tality and sportsmanship by even a world record."—Exeter Times - Advocate. the products of ' the forest, how it can best be preserved and improv- ed. The great hazard of forest fires was emphasized and many types of equipment for fighting fires were shown. It was an interesting and instruc- tive exhibition and I am very sor- ry that our young Canadians haven't the opportunity of seeing one in our country. As a member of the Canadian Forestry Associa- tion and the Trees Conservation Commission of Waterloo County, I feel that the information I receiv- ed will be of great help. On To Uppsala The next day, two of the most modern buses I have ever ridden in carried us out of the city. On the way out to Uppjsala we noticed a great difference between the Swedish and English farms. In- stead of hedged fields of green sod and many herds of cattle and sheep we saw plowed fields, no hedges or fences and no livestock. We were told that owing to the very dry summer there was no grass for the cattle and, they were being stable fed. Instead of permanent fences they use electric or single barb wire fences. - We did see a large number of fields of rape, which is sown in rows about the first of September and harvested the next August. We were quite surprised to learn that in this great dairy country the far- mers were growing rape for seed and the oil from the seed is used to make margarine. We were also surprised when passing a great many army trucks loaded with soldiers that this can - try, which has bad peace for over two hundred years, has military conscription. Every man at 21 years of age has to spend a year in the army and then for the next 15 years, one month each year. No Land Wested The area of good farmland in Sweden is limited,and none of it is wasted. On the farms we passed on the 40 -mile strip to Uppsala we noticed that all of the farm build- ings were built on some hill or rough land not fit for cultivation. While passing a farm we noticed a large number of poles about six feet long standing upright in a field and were told that when the oats are cut the sheaves are placed on these poles to dry. All other grain, such as wheat and barley, have to be artificially dried as soon as they are threshed. The average Swedish farm is about 20 acres of working land and 40 acres of bush and to make a good living. farmers need to spend the winters in the woods. As over 50 per cent of Sweden's exports are from the woods, we can read- ily see why good forestry is so im- portant. Near Uppsala the buses stopped at the Agricultural School. where the students do not study in class- rooms but are put to practical work on the farm. We were shown through the testing department where tractors and other farm ma- chines are put to a rigid test. A new tractor that is being put on the market by an implement com- pany is usually run on a full load for 1,500 hours and the report pub- lished, so that the farmers know which make to buy. One building housed a collection of early Ewed- ish plows and other implements. some of them nearly 200 years old. As we drove out to the sight of the world match we could see the great streams of water that have been applied to the plowing land night and day for the past month to make it fit for plowing. Up to that time over 6.000.000 gallons had been used, and watering was to continue until the plowing started. Next Week: The Plowing Match. The slick surface of wet asphalt roadways has sent many a mo- torist limping to the garage with flattened fenders and shattered headlamps. But now research engineers have come up with something that sharply reduces this accident hazard. When their special aluminum oxide abrasive is applied to the road surface, it cuts down by more than 30c,-; the stopping distance of your car when you apply the brakes at 30 m.p.h. ... So in addition to saving weight and work in a thousand everyday and special applica- tions, aluminum may prove a major factor in saving lives, too. ALUMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.
