Mrs. Emerson Dessler of Elmira, chairlady of the zone, presided and called on the chairlady of each county for a report on work carried on dur­ ing the year by women in the Feder­ ation, In most cases these reports did not give evidence of the interest one would expect on tpie part of farm women at county level, Huron County, with six delegates present and Mrs. Tait Clark, of Car- low, as county chairlady, reported most interest with township women representatives meeting regularly with the men at the monthly meeting of county directors. Mrs. Dessler was re-elected as zone chairlady, as was Mrs. L. D. Taylor of Fergus, as vice. After several years of good service as zone secretary, Mrs. J. Scott Davidson, Britton, asked to be relieved of her duties and Mrs. Earl as W. Richard Gray A.R.C.M., A.L.C.M. Organist and Choir Leader United Church, .

HOPPER —Representative— Canada Life WINGHAM, ONT. Less feed for your laying flock means more money in your pocket: It's possible with SHUR-GAIN Super Laying Mash as good poultrymen everywhere are finding out. Supper Laying Mash is a “high-efficiency” feed which is extra fortified with energy, proteins, miner­ als and vitamins. When a hen fills up on this type of ration her maintenance requirements are looked after on a smaller amount of feed so that more is available for egg production. With ordinary “lower efficiency” rations a hen has to “cram” so much in to look after the maintenance needs that she has very little left over for egg production. Now with SHUR-GAIN Super Laying Mash poul­ trymen are getting a higher rate of laying and are producing a dozen eggs on even LESS than 4 lbs. of feed. Tests at the SHUR-GAIN Demonstration Farm also prove the superior performance of “Super”. Try your flock on SHUR-GAIN Super Lay ing Mash and make EXTRA profits.
