Me? Use electricity for this?
Certainly. Other women do.
And they use electricity for dozens of other household tasks too,
because modern electric appliances make it so much easier to
be a good housekeeper.
Modern electric appliances can help you do all your work
faster, more efficiently . . . whether you're polishing floors,
doing the laundry, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, or
washing dishes. It costs so little to enjoy the wonderful con-
venience and freedom of modern electrical living.
You get more out of life when you get the most out of electricity.

Bob, Carbert Defends r,Family Fangs.
Talks of Agri•business at Hog .Meeting
Pressure From. Western Ontario Counties
firings Compensation For Rabid Animals'
(By 3, Bari itIenahigway) .Special speaker at the Ontario
Hog .Producers Association con-
vention in Toronto, was Robert
Carbert, formerly of CKNX Radio
and TV, Bob is now the informa-
tion officer Canadian Federation
of Agriculture, and lives with his
family at Ottawa.
Bob outlined his views of the
family farm, and the developments
in agri-business, and Concluded his
address as follows:
believe that the family farm
represents the answer to the chall-
enge of a vecialized, technologic,-
al . agriculture of the future. It
should gain in importance, rather
than slide into the discard. The
family farm is particularly 'suited
for the adoption of new ideas, and
specialized techniques, Here we
have a self-contained unit that
is flexible, has little if any, labour
problems, and it usually combines
the experience of age, with the
enthusiasm of youth in a father-
son business agreement.
Today, our leaders in 'farm or-
ganization, 0-Operatives, market-
ing boards, and community activ,
ities are these same people. They
are the same people who are in-
terested in. their, community, their
country and their industry. Theirs
is not 'merely the interest of con-
cern of a malcontent, who joins
a pressure group out of sheer des-
peration. These are the people who
will look at 'the trends ,in agricul-
ture, objectively, and solve their
t
problems in a sound way,
I'm equally sure that when co-
operatives and marketing boards
take over the initiative in retain-
ing control not only of agricul-
ture, but the machinery of market-
ing, and vertical integration, that
these •are the people who will pro-
vide the leadership and the guid-
ance.
I fully expect to see "family
farms" as long as I'm around this
old world, and I have no desire
to leave for some time yet, I ex-
pest to see them grow in stature
and importance, becoming the
backbone of the agricnkure of
the future, even as they have in
the past. I believe that the family
farm of the future will be larger,
will involve more capital, more
equipment, and will probably en-
compass many of today's small
farms within its fence lines. But,
it will be an efficient, business-
like operation.
The greatest casualty of tomor-
row's agriculture will be the rural
community, The rural community
has changed greatly in the last
25 years, and there are more
changes in the future. The disin-
tegration of community life, as we
used to know it has started.
With the dropping of the farm
population, community centres
built less than 15 years ago, have
started to fall into neglect due to
lack of use. Rural schools, that
used to be the centre of communi-

For about two years the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture along
with the Canadian Federation has
been seeking compensation for
livestock lost by rabies. Apparen-
tly it was the efforts of the Feder-
ations in Bruce and Grey Coun-
ties that supplied the "straw that
broke the camel's back". About
a month ago these organizations
met with their county councils to
ress this request further to gov-
ernment.
A delegation went to Ottawa
and presented the suggestion that
county, province and federal gov-
ernments split the costs. As a re-
sult we now have the announce-
ment that compensation will be
paid on the • basis of 40 percent
by the province, 40 percent by the
Federal and 20 percent by the
county. The responsibility for ad-
ministration is left with the Coun-
ty Council,
Robert McGregor, president of
the Huron Beef Producers is to be
congratulated on the very success-
ful bus tour to Ohio which he ar-
ranged. In spite of most unsatis-
factory weather Monday morning,
March 16, only one was unable of
make it and we were fortunate in
picking up a spare at the last
minute.
The farms we visited were very
similar to Huron except that land
is valued at 500 to 600 dollars per
acre. The foundation of their
feeding is corn. In the feed lots
cattle are being fed all the corn
silage they will eat plus from 8
to 15 Pas, per head per day of shell
corn. The standard silo is 20 ft.
ties are being closed in favour
of consolidated schools. Farm For-
um has found itself faced with the
same inevitable future, and chan-
ges must be made to meet those
changing times.
Many of our ways of life will
go the same way as the beef-ring,
the community threshing gang, the
fowl supper and the garden party.
The blacksmith went out with the
horse and buggy, the local tailor
turned in his needle many years
ago, and we find the corner store
operator with his back to the wall,
as chain stores expand their ser-
vices, and the automobile draws
us closer to these shopping centres.
These are things we hate to see
go, for they have been a part and
parcel of our lives.
But we can't stand still, and
we shouldn't want to, We have to
surround ourselves with new ideas,
new aims, and new purposes, and
under these conditions, I know
that the family farm will not only
survive, but will prosper, and its
members will' feel security and
satisfaction.

ture shell .corn. At one plaCe a.
10 x 70 silo• is filled from 56 acres
of silage corn and a 16 x 60 silo
is filled front 84 acres with shell-
ed corn.
All silos are equipped with un-
loaders and the feed is distributed
mainly, by an auger system,
though some of the large set ups
use unloading wagons to take the
feed to the mangers,
Marketing is a serious problem
for them though in the area we
visited there were from eight to
ten outlets for their cattle, The
number going: to terminal mark-
ets is decreasing And it was felt
that too MARY cattle were going
direct to plants.
One load of cattle which would.
be about half "prime" and the re-
mainder "choice" were• delivered
to Archibald from Chicago mark-
et at 30 cents, In examining the
carcasses we were of the opinion
that top red brand would equal
their "prime." We were told that
it was necessary to heavy-feed
steers for 10 to 12 months to ob-
tain "prime" quality. We can get
red brand with a somewhat shor-
ter feeding period, The quality of
the feeder cattle is very similar
to our better cattle.
In hogs again, corn is the basis
of their feeding. The carcasses.
we saw showed a much softer fat
and only a small percentage or
them would grade B-1.
