"They know only one word and
that's 'big'," said Ross Marshall,
Kirkton, commenting on the high-
lights• of the tour.
The Huron farmers, members
of the county's two farm man-
agement groups, visited • beef,
dairy, hogs, and poultry opera-
tions specializing in low-cost, la-
bor-saving. production.
The group spent one day in
Michigan and ooe in Indiana
where they were royally enter-
tained by a service club which
held a special agricultural pro-
gr'am to celebrate farm -city
week.

to the cost of production. "We
feel that the farmers needs are

report,
The next meeting will be at
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Robinson.
Cimino Forum
Elimville forum Members felt
that there should be more sup-
port plans like those for hogs,
wheat, beans, peaches and tobac-
co. They were in favor of a two
price system on most farm pro-
duction, if prices are set too high
there is a surplus all the time.
They met at the home of Mr.
William Johns, Jr,, and Mr. and
Mrs. Philip Johns will be host
,and hostess next week.
Fairfield Forum
Members of Fairfield forum
gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George Hepburn had not re-
ceived their literature so could,
not answer the questions after
listening to the broadcast. They
discussed their problems among
themselves. They convene next
week at. the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Russell King.
Men don't need to go near the
crates which are on skids so
they can be taken outside during
sununer.
The hogs are fed all corn -
the big crop in Indiana - with
some supplement. Some clover is
grown and. hay cut for bedding.
Near Warsaw, the group- saw
a poultry farm with 125,000 laY-
ers where an extensive amount
of research is being 'done. The
farm develops its own breed -
CB Leghorn 'Cross - and the
birds are being raised in three
different types of pens - slatted
floor which carries one bird to a
square foot; individual cages and
10 to 12 in a cage.
Special blood -typing research
is being conducted here and the
birds are divided into various
types, similar to humans, to test
reaction to disease. Poor birds
are never culled but kept until
they die so their conditions can

Near Erantfurt, Indiana, the

mainly on home-grown feeds.
The feed was stored in a silo pit
which some of the' group mistook
for a gravel pit.
Beef feeders are much better

Ontario. They buy heifers at 17
