Rural Report
Improving county fairs
big convention topic
Judges at local fairs should talk to no-one, never mingle with
exhibitors, ringmasters or nompetitors, and make sure all contests
end at a reasonable hour each day,
Mr, M. L. "Tory" Gregg of London, Southwestern Ontario's "Mr.
Master of Ceremonies" for county and local fairs, told delegates to
the 71.st Annual Convention of the Ontario Association of
Agricultural Societies in Toronto, February 25, that judges could
only perform efficiently if supported rather than harassed by local
committee members or others associated with a fair.
Mr. Gregg was one of a panel of experts called to discuss the
improvement of larger fairs and exhibitions in 1971. He said a
courteous welcome to patrons, efficient parking, controlled
supervision of the midways, a rigid timetable, an attractive
fairground, and a schedule that ended in time for visitors to get
home to do the chores were all factors contributing to a successful
fair,
Discussing livestock classes, Mr. Gregg said, "Eliminate those who
don't show tin on time. It throws off a schedule and chaos results,
Set a time for starting and stick to it. Don't let the exhibitors and
competitors run the fair.avtaxe the fair run them."
When questioned on whether fines should be levied on those
arriving late to a class, Mr. Gregg said it would depend on the
circumstances. "You can't fine a man whose truck breaks down a
hundred miles from the fair," he said, and left such decisions up to
the local committee.
The two-day convention, sponsored by the Agricultural and
Horticultural Societies Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture
and Food, reviewed all types of fairs and exhibitions held in Ontario.
Other suggestions presented at the meetings were:
1, Promote exhibits where people are working — "live exhibits"
will draw the crowds,
2. Keep midway noise down so that all results and timetable
schedules are heard clearly.
3. Conduct livestock and other classes in front of the grandstand
so that as many as possible see the animals.
4, Use the money provided to build and maintain clean
washrooms and spectator facilities.
5. Dress up every fairground. Make the fair a holiday outing for
patrons.
6. Stagger events so that a timetable is easily maintained.
7. If conducting an evening program, finish afternoon events in
time for patrons to get home and then return for evening shows.
COMMUNITY SALES
VOLUMES INCREASING
Community livestock sales are well established in many areas of
Canada. Livestock volumes handled through sales barns or auction
markets in Ontario and Alberta increased in 1970. In Ontario, 71
licensed community sales handled 338,000 slaughter cattle in 1970,
up 15,000 from a year earlier and nearly 75,000 more than recorded
seven years ago (1963). Sales of cattle going back to the country
totalled 404,000, more than double the volume of just seven years
earlier. About 1.2 million pigs, mainly weaners and feeders, were
handled through Ontario's livestock sales barns.
Alberta auction markets (Class D Stockyards) handled 742,000
cattle and calves in 1970, up from about 713,000 a year earlier.
Feeder cattle numbers totalled 562,000, up 38,000 from the 1969
volume. Hog numbers totalled 588,000 head, an increase of 40%
from a year earlier.

DOMESTIC DISAPPEARANCE

RUBBER MATS FOR COWS
BEING TRIED AT ELORA
Rubber mats for livestock stalls are being tested at the Elora
Dairy Research Station in place of such conventional loose beddings
as straw,
Dr. J. 8, Stone, Animal Science Department, University of
Guelph, says rubber mats can save farmers the cost of two or three
pounds of straw per cow daily and moreover are far better adapted
to modern liquid manure disposal systems that cannot accommodate
too much loose bedding. Tests recently made at Cornell University
arid Pennsylvania State University show that while five to seven
pounds of straw per cow is required each day in a conventional stall
barn, only two to five pounds is required per day when stall barns
contain rubber mats. In situations where straw is worth $20 per ton
this represents a saving of $8,00 per year per cow.
At the Elora Station, 128 tie stalls are using rubber mats, with
many different mat,types being tested simultaneously. One type
under test is 100 percent rubber, about one inch thick and
impervious to cloven-hoof stresses. Another is made from a plastic
encased in foam rubber, while a third is manufactured from
conventional waste rubber from tire retreading and is purportedly
Softer and spongier than its competitors. Indoor-outdoor carpeting is
a possibility; it has not yet been tried and may have wear problems.
Dr. Stone says the initial costs of the mats are high — roughly $40 to
$50 for a four by six foot Mat — but farmers tan expect these costs
to be repaid over a few years in saved loose bedding materials,
The mats are undoubtedly effective for a liquid 'manure disposal
system, as they can be washed (Iowa without- excessive labor.
However, Dr. Stone says some tend to lack resiliency and can cause
hock damage, if the tows lie down with their hocks extending over
the sharp edge of the matting.
At the Elora Dairy Research Station this problem has been
combatted by attaching a low curb at the back of the stall that
retains more bedding (and thus padding) for this area.
The mats add insulation properties to bedding, keep the dust
dowri, and can probably add substantially to overall herd health.
Further information on the tests will be available when more data is
completed,
