As an example of outstanding organization and planning this feature could easily give some pointers to many organizations. At one p.m. the first carload of calves consigned by William Rinn, Granton, entered the ring to be judged for finish. The capable judge, Mr. Clint Devlin, Canada Packers, Ltd., Toronto, gave Don Tremeer, R.R. 2, Kip­ pen, the nod on a dark red Hereford steer which had made a gain of 435 lbs. in 219 days. Bruce Coleman, R.R. 4, Sea­ forth, was the next choice in this carload, with a steer that gained 595 lbs. in 219 days. Bob Kinsman, R.R, 2, Kippen, was third choice here with a calf that .gained 640 lbs. in 219 days. After placing the 45 calves in this carload for finish, Mr. Dev­ lin started immediately on the carload consigned by Mr. Jack Morrissey, Crediton. In this car load Mr. Devlin selected as his first choice Harold Parsons, R. R 2, Hensall, with a calf that gained 480 lbs. in 197 days. Eight-year-old Orville Wein, of Crediton, with 365 gain on his calf in 197 days, was fourth choice in the Morrissey carload. Then Mr. Devlin had the job of bringing together his choices to decide on Grand Champion, Finish, which he awarded to Don Tremeer; Reserve Champion, Finish, going to Bruce Coleman. While the calves were being shown for finish, Mr. H. E. Mc­ Gill, Department of Agriculture, Toronto, had a very tough job on his hands picking out his Senior and Junior Showmanship win­ ners. This is counted a very fair decision of a boy’s or girl’s abil­ ity. In the Senior Division, Bob Parsons, Cromarty, placed first; Bob Kinsman, Kippen, and Jim Etherington, the Junior Division (15 years and ‘ _ __ club experience), it was strictly a ladies’ day. Mildred Ballan­ tyne, R.R. 3, Exeter,- first; Anne Bregman, Hensall, R.R. 1, sec­ ond; and Marlene Stewart, R.R. 3, Exeter, third.

The Mickle Challenge Trophy awarded for the Hightst Daily average gain was presented to 19-year-old Bob Kinsman, Kip- pen, by E. L. Mickle, Hensall. Bob’s calf, drawn by lot, same as the other calves, made the out­ standing gain of 640 lbs. in 219 days for a daily average of 2.83 lbs. .This is an outstanding feat not only in this instance, but last 3-ear Bob won the Challenge Tro­ phy out of 76 entries.
