A, of Blyth Un- ited Church catered for the banquet and as all the local ladies groups who cater to the local Lions they did an excellent job. The president, Mr. Gordon Augustine, was in charge of the even'ng and wel- comed the Lions and their guests. 112 culled upon n represrnt;t.ve of the Wingliam.Club to bring greetings from that club: The boys ft`om Wingham sponsored the organza on of the local club and so they are very much inter- ested in our welfare, The guest speaker for the occasion was Mr. Lawrence Piutnsteel, principal of Seaforth Collegiate, He spoke on "A Defense of Education in S.condary Schools Today". The speaker pointed out some inconsistencies that were harboured in the mind of the public today, insofar as education was con - corned, He called on each one to be ' personally interested in education in . the local community and to visit the school as much as possible and see how the school policy is formulated.

He also spoke against the criticism of some who felt .that school staffs should eliminate many who were not really working hard at their studies. Mr. Plttmsteel• felt that no person would want to par- ticipate in this elimination program, He 'reminded his listeners that often those children whom a teacher felt would not go very far in the world often trade the biggest contribution in later years, He also called upon the parents to create a better type of halite lite as the life of the child was often shaped by the reflection of what he had caught in his home training. A musical programme was well en- joyed. Guest artists were present from Exeter and gave some rous'ng male duets, Mr.'I•Iarry Lear of Blyth also favoured the group with his rendition of "Old Man River'', And so Lionism in this village .enters upon another year of activity. The Ltbns club are to be commended on their interest in the welfare of he community and its citizens, Being the type of organization it is they are not given adequate news coverage,, Their deeds trust go unrecorded publicly nd often those who know wliat Lionism Means are those who have been given a little .help in times of emergency. The public are to be commended too for without .their support the workof the local club could not be as exten- sive. It is hoped that through the years this work will be continued and that the spirit of Lionism may continue to help build a stronger community, with their brother and sister societies In Blyth.

Clark for the following informative history of the 13th concession of Hullett Beef icing which has been operating continu- ously for the past 50 years; Fifty years ago on March 25th, 1003, the 13th Beef Ring came into being. At least 32 persons were needed ' to start it on the way and It is still go- ing,. strong, It runs from April each year to the end of October and It all -began on the farm of Edward Lear, now occupied by John Sanderson. The slaughter house retrained on this property until 1046 when it was moved_ to its present lo- cation on the farm of Arthur Colson, Forty five years ago the books were turned over to William Gray and re- mained In that family unt'1 1951. The present Secretary is Arthur E. Clark. The 'only original member that has been in the Beef Ring continuously fur the fifty years is Frank Little. There has been a long list of butchers and a few of then are as follows. We do not have a complete list:, James Davis, James Woodman, Jim Heffron, Harvey McCallum, Weldon Tyndall, Donald McNeil and Arthur Colson who is the present butcher. A roast, a: boll and s'eak is receiv- ed each week and liver four t'mes in the season, In 1903 the price of the beef was set at 7 cents. It was 50 cents in • 1952, 1951 was somewhat higher, 60 cents, so that Jn the last 59 years with 32 beef killed each year it means considerable beef to chew on. BELGRAVE • MT.

E. Asquith, Auburn No. one in' the community is more interested . in the coining turnip field day than patriarch Robert C. McGow- an of East Wawano,h, Mr, McGowan informs us .that a very profitable ex- port market for turnips to the 'U.S,A, developed a few years after the open- ing, of the J.,ondon, Huron & Bruce Railway in 1875. By 1880 the farm- ers of this area and much of Wee..ern Ontario, were shipping a goodly quan- tity to Kentucky where they were first used as horse feed, later for sheep, and then became popular as they are to- day as a table vegetable. It was .0 boon to us femora to develop such a ready cash crop market. The grow- ing- of turnips here in those days was considered almost a must for the suc- cessful raising of livestock, but few far- mers had proper storage and consider- able loss nearly always attended pit storage. The export demand suddenly came to an end, as on many similar occasions, when theU,S.A, government imposed -a very high insport tariff on turnips, but the growing of then for the home feeding of livestock contin- ued brisk until the growing of alfalfa materialized, Mr, McGowan contends that the tur- nip orf seventy-five years ago was of equal quality of that produced today, but the turnip of today having the ad- vantage of • better education and a higher standard of living, gives • the cook less trouble and adds much to its flavor by, demanding to be prepared to a pressure cooker.

The Stand- ard had a letter from Mr. Charles Ford, of Universal Ignition Co., Lon- don, who is in charge of the parade from that centre, in which he said that firms from Brantford and many other points were making enquiry about the parade, and he expected It would reach sizeable proportions by the time it reached here, which, barring holdups, should be between 10 and 11 a.m. There will be local features in this parade never seen .here before, and for that natter probably never Before seen in this country, if present plans • by an individual are carried, to 'com- nlclion.

About The Blyth .Plant Russel Dougherty was in the gar- age business and saki cars and farm machinery. This is gocd tur- nip country and Russel was Inter- ested in all things Agricultural so 11e decided to make a start in tur- nip shipping. Wax:ng was compar- atively new at that Coe, and Russ fixed up a room at the beck of his garage. His shipments were small at first, a few truck loads the first year but quality was first and foremost. The business grew, and in 4 or 5 years 11e acquired the 'o'd a 10 -point program for more efficient farming which should be a useful guide to Canadian farmers in 1053. Ties points are; 1. Make the farm an eff:clent oper- ating unit by careful planning for the best use of land, labor, machinery, cash and credit. 1. Use more lime, fcrtil'zer, good seed and modern methods 'of efflc:ent production to obtain highest returns per acre and per man. 3. Continue sound management of grasslands to support the growing live- stock and poultry industry. Make use of soil, water and labor resources with an eye towards their conservation. 4, Produce meat, milk, eggs and oth- er livestock products needed to feed the growing population, Practise clos- er culling, unproved breeding, better feeding and efficient man gement to increase production and income per animal and per man, 5.

Build What of the future? Can the Ontario industry expand beyond the 2,000,000 bushel mark around which it has re- mained for the past 5 years? Most authorities are optimistic for a future Iucrcese in export business with the United States, East of the M`ssissippl there are close to 100,000,000 people, possibly 30,000,000 families. The 2,- 000,000 bushels we sent from Ontario plus a half million from the Maritimes still leaves a tremendous gap to fill be- fore the market could be called over supplied. It can be truthfully said that there are still many people throughout this vast area of the Uni- ted States who have as yet never even heard of Canadian Rutabagas. So there is a rich field of opportunity a- waiting some promotional work, This has been born out by the extensive survey made by Canadian Department of Trade and Commerce in the sauth eastern United States back in 1951. From this we learn of the dominant position held by Canadian Rutabagas in that market and of the need to make , duality the first consideration; and of Swede turnips "Rutabagas".

Western Ontario grows the largest acreage of any pro- vince—in 1050, 4,300,000 bushels with n value of $1,800,000; in 1951-3,200,000 bushels with a value of $2,500,000. Prince Edward Island comes next in volume of production followed by Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Our Am- erican friends call the Purple Top and white and Inside the crisp yellow flesh of the genuine Northern product. Yes, our friends in the United States do like our Canadian Rutabagas. And they bought 2,700,000 bushels from Canada in' 1051-52. Shipments maybe down a little this year but to date over 2,000,000 bushels have been exported to the United States. From Western On- tario exports to the United States have climbed from 1,180,000 bushels In 1935- 36 to reach a total/of 2,600,000 In 1943- 44 andlevelltng off around the 2,000,000 mark since that time. The big increase in volume in the last 20 years is large- ly due to the development and perfec- tion of the waxing processes, by which turnips are washed, dried, and careful- ly waxed. This inproves the appear- ance and preserves all the rich good- ~, . ness in 411e turnip. It is clean to han- dle too and catches the eye of the 4. consumer. Most seasons about one- half of our turnips are shipped waxed while the rest are sent unwaxed where • the trade likes thein this way. Our own home markets also con- sume a large volume of Rutabagas and they are featured on vegetable coun- ters in nearly every store, The waxed product seems to be the most popular here at home. In the development and maintenance' of any market for any proddct, qual- ity is'the foremost requisite. This Is safe guarded by grade regulations of the Canada Department of Agriculture and every export shipment is inspect- ed and certified before' it can leave the country.. Fully realizing the value of grading and inspection, the industry a long time ago asked for this service from the Department of Agriculture, and since then all shipments are certi- fied by Inspectors located in all the shipping centres. There is only 'one grade Canada No, 1. Under this grade several different sizes may be shipped pending on the requirements of the market. • Yes Rutabagas are essentially Cana- dian, The principal variety is Lauren- tian. It was developed by Prof. L. C. Raymond at MacDonald College in Quebec way back in about 1019, since then this variety has become famous throughout Canada and in the expdrt markets South of the line, They do grow a few turnips over in Wisconsin and Minnesota anti very n!co quality too. And where do you suppose they got the seed—front.Canrda of course— it was Laurentian. The rich farming area of the high- lands of Western Ontario produces the volume of our Rutabagas --Middlesex, Association wasaormcd;for the piountyi of Huron The purpose of the Association is to help prevent the rustling of live- stock.and poultry, and general thieving in the County and the Association was formed as a result of a request from the Ontario Beef Cattle Producers. .In1 view of the fact that Reeves and De- puty Reeves are indirectly responsible for Law Enforcement in their respec- tive municipalities, these municipal officials are to be the acting Body of the Association along with the Agri cultural Committee of the County Council , $50,00 will be sent from the County Council to make up a "Gener- al' Reward Fund" to be used in Ontario which will be 'used to further prevent rustling and thievery of livestock and poultry., , Any property owned should now im- mediately contact the nearest.

Greetings From The Blyth Board of Trade On behalf of the members of the Blyth Board of Trade, I wish to extend a hearty word of welcome to all visitors in the Village•on "Rutabaga Day", Saturday,May 23rd, t the grounds of Russel Dougherty's Rutabaga storage plant. This is a day set aside to bring to public attention the rapidly growing Rutabaga industry in the surround- ing five counties, of which Blyth is the centre. Here we have one of the most modern plants, processing the high- est quality "Blyth 'Brand" Rutabagas, of which are known throughout Canada and the United States, as far south as Florida. Since 1939 this industry has expanded in acreage, and in e.xpor.t, far beyond the expectations of even the most optimistic. This is due of course, to the high quality product exported from the disrict. The fertile land, to- gether with the combined efforts of each grower, and Mr, Russel Dougherty, who have specialized in developing such rutabagas, have made this possible, Next year's out. look is excellent, and the processors hope to secure addi- tional markets, through the high quality, to increase ex- port shipments over any previous year. Rutabaga Day will hold many things of interest not only to growers and processors, but to everyone at- tending. Rutabaga exhibits of all kinds, 'together with processing methods will be explained in detail to those in- terested in the industry. For those not interested in this type of agriculure there will be 'present almost every known make of machinery, automobiles, trucks, boats, etc., on exhibit, and live demonstrations of these will be shown through the: entire day. Forty films of every kind and type are on hand, and will be shown continuousbr from 8 a,nl, to 12 p.m, in Mr. Dougherty's storage plant, TQ cover all phases of farming, and farming met- hocls,,a suggestion box will be set up, and any problem, no matter of what nature, pertaining to agriculture,'wi]l be answered in person by an experienced agricultural repre- sentative. It is our sincere -hope that the day proves to be educational, .and that it is enjoyed by all in atitendance', and we can assure you that you will find your time only too short to cover everything in one day, OUR SLOGAN : , ONE Rutabaga a WEEK will keep you at your PEEK. .

If he cannot get his product sold at n profit,.,, the supplier will go broke, and he will go broke first. The farmer can hang •on longer because if every- body else gees broke, nobody wants the farm Lind the farmer• can grow e - Hough food to feed himself and Itis family.

It works in business, but it can't work 1 on the farm so easily, and it should not be used In any business, or farm - Ing. Marketing is the only answer. 1f no one wants turnips then we should not grow Them; howzver, we do know the people do want turn'ps, and we al- so know that trillions of Americ ins have never been asked to buy Cana- dian Rutabagas (turnips). "As businessmen, and in support of a local industry, that's our job — to' tell the world," Livestock Shippers Ass'n Desires Accredited Stockyard Area The Ontario Livestock Shippers As- sociation, which has become quite a strong organization, came into being on February 5th, 1953, at a province - wide organization meeting at Guelph. The directorate of the Association is: Ian McDonald, President, Brussels; Wm. Harris, Vice -President, Ripley; Arnold Darroch, Clifford, William Watson, Blyth; Henry Thur, Ehnir.t; Harry O'Neil, Belleville; Gordon Knight, Blenheim; Russel Beattie, Ow- en Sound; T. J, McFarlan, Thamesford; Charles Coultcs, Belgrave, and George McClory, Monition. The reason for the formation of this Association was primarily this—Over the past years more and more regula- tions were unposed on those handling livestock, Rates were increased, mak- Ing the handling, of livestock• more costly. Somq regulations were very unwieldy and some bottlenecks appear- ed that were unnecessary. In all such cases shippers as a body were never consulted when new regulations and rates were imposed. To deal with different- organizations within the livestock Industry the ship- pers felt that only by organization could they successfully uphold the in- terests of the farmers and others en- gaged in the livestock ifdustry, To quote one member, "There is no other body of men,, handling such large a- mounts of money, without an organiza- tion." In general, objectives are to work with other organizations for the pur- pose of bringing about a better under- standing of matters of mutual interest. As a convenience to farmers and shippers the. Association has success- fully negotiated with the Ontario stock- yards board for the removel of the charge for weighing cattle Saturday' afternoons and evenings. The Assoc- iation is negotiating with Ottawa 10 make the Ontario stockyards an accred- Ited area. Regulations at the present time require. .1. That all cattle other than cows, bulls and dairy heifers must be needled fol. T.B. test in the yards before leaving for country points—held in isolation for three days at country points and read by a government vet- erinary. 2, Cows, bulls and dairy hei- fers must remain In • the test barn for. 3 days before leaving the Toronto yards, 3. With the exception of the large packing plants, small properly licensed' plants must have their cattle ear tagged at the 'same testing shutes as the stock cattle, before removal for slaughter. Other small butchers must submit their cattle for test, hold them for three days to be read, before they can slaughter their cattle. This regu- lation alone keeps many a small, com- petitive buyer off the, Toronto market. The Province of Ontario can be re- garded as an accredited area, At the PAtIE 7 WELCOME To Blyth WE ARE HAPPY TO BE HOSTS TO THE RUTABAGA ASSOCIATION ON SAT- URDAY, MAY 23rd. We also wish to extend a cordial welcome to the Industrialists and Businessmen who will be with us that day, and to the citizens of Western Ontario who will be attending, • WE TRUST THE DAY WILL BE A PROFITABLE AND PLEASANT ONE FOR ALL CONCERNED.

GREETINGS Fftelt BEST WISHES FOR A GREAT SUCCESS ON RUTABAGA DAY, MAY 23rd, GROVER CLARE, PALMERSTON. • present time the Ontario Stockyards Is not regarded as an accredited area because western cattle are allowed in-. to our yards untested and are allowed to mingle freely with our tested On- tario cattle. The burden o4 responsi- bility for unclean cattle should rest with` the shipper of unclean cattle. The Association suggests that the western shipper. should not be forced to complete the test on his cattle be- fore leaving Winnipeg. This would cause undue expense. But they do strongly urge Ottawa to insist on all western, cattle for Ontario shipment be needled in Winnipeg and read In On• tario stockyards before being allowed to mingle with Ontario cattle. This would allow our Ontario stockyards to be an accredtated area. Once achiev- ed the benefits to farmers and ship- pers are tremendous. .1. All cattle other than cows and bulls would be permitted to leave the yards at any time without test, , 2. On- tario cows have on testing at Ontario yards, showed some reactions, So, we suggest that, because of this, all On- tario cows for ire -shipment to country, should be held in the test barn three days. 3. We .suggest all western bull calves under 500 lbs. should be regard- ed as stockers and should go to the country as such without alteration. 4. Loses due to shipping fewer would be greatly reduced because of the prompt 'removal of western cattle to country points. • 5. This would mean also that in periods of heavy deliveries of cattle to Ontario stockyards the market could be relieved immediately by shipping them back home till fut- ure date. The new hog marketing scheme, be- ing something new presented several "difficulties to the organized trade, Be- ing organized; the Association was able ing organized, the Association was able to iron out most of these difficulties. This is the type of work the Ontario Livestock Shippers Association is do- ing. Only by a strong and active mem- bership can such important goals be achieved.
