IRENE MEYERS Tells Cash Crop Need In Undeveloped Area FARMERS ! Ontario Department of Agriculture, fully realizing the importance of youth to rural liv­ ing, is stressing the need of local interests to interest and train them in being successful farmers. One of the best and the largest calf clubs in Ontario is known Club. This lowing borne, Hay, Tuckersmith, Stanley and Hibbert, which form the South Huron Agricultural So­ ciety, the sponsor of the Club. Many 4H Calf Clubs have be­ come very unpopular throughout Ontario with the parents because of the Queen’s Guinea Class at the Royal Winter Fair. The first original winner of the Queen’s Guineas, Jack Kinsman, Crom­ arty, is the Chairman of the Hen­ sall Club. Jack is one of the first to deplore what is happening in 4H Clubs. He feels that too many parents have lost the true out­ look to 4H Club work and it is this fact that gives the plans laid down at Hensall the lead in the Beef Club field. The rules at Hensall Feeder Club are radical—that when ap­ plication foi’ 4H status was made it was turned down. In this club the quality of the calf means nothing to the judges. The me­ thod of judging is very simple and practical. The calves are sold to the packing plants and but­ chers so the judges are instruct­ ed to award all prizes on the basis of what is considered to be “killing finish”.

The committee in charge of this club for the period 1953-54 are already laying plans for 90 more calves to be distributed evenly throughout the six town­ ships. It was gratifying to ob­ serve that they are opening the club to Boys and Girls this year. The committee have been criti­ cized the past two years for the variation of calves and this year are going out for quality and uni­ formity even at the risk of in­ creasing the cost of each calf slightly. We understand that this and any other changes, laid before the committee will be discussed and fairly voted on. It was inter­ esting to note that this year, the boys and girls will carry their own insurance, mutually on a pro rata basis. This is a big step in the right direction. Seven per cent premium rate was too ex­ pensive for the avareage boy to carry. In fact it was a cent a pound on a 700 lb. animal if the insured value was $100. • For further information re­ garding this club we suggest that you contact your township direc­ tor. Don’t forget entries close October 1’and the first 15 names receive priority. HID YOU KNOW?
