The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1958-08-07, Page 904, "BEST OATS I'VE EVER HAD"—With harvest in full swing, farmers in this district are reporting excellent yields. Clayton Prouty, R.R. 1 Hay, says this crop of Rodney oats is the best he's ever harvested, With him are his wife and grandson, Roger Prouty, son of Mr; and Mrs, Ivan Prouty, Dundas. Rains Wednesday halted harvest- ing operations at least temporarily. --T-A Photo Con troversy S tiII Overcar Perhaps the hog controversy will never die down. It almost looked that way this week. In spite of the results of the July 25 vote—in which producers backed the plan by giving it the required two-thirds approval— the rumblings and grumblings continue. First to question the ballot, which was to Have settled the {question once and for all, was Gordon Hill, Varna, president of the Ontario Farmers' Union. He said last week the failure of over half the eligible voters to east their ballots indicated lack of confidence in the board. Thursday of this week a group of eight major opponents of the scheme made a concerted bid to .get a recount of the ballots in an interview with Agriculture Minister W. A. Goodfellow. Re- sults of the meeting were not clisclos.e 1 at press time. Announcement of the recount request was n'iade by Ross Mc- Tavish, Shakespeare, strong op- ponent of the scheme. Gordon Hill, in a statement re- leased from .OFU headquarters in Guelph, said: "The recent hog plebiscite in- dicates farmers believe in the principle of organized market- ing but have reservations as to the mechanics of the program currently being followedby the Ontario Hog Producers Associa- tion." "The campaign carried on by the board," he said, "stated quite clearly the question was not t wh ther producers favored e either assembly yards or the present personnel but whether they favored a central sales agency. In fact, hog producer president Mclnnis stated during the campaign that assembly yards are a temporary feature of the plan." "The failure of over half the eligible voters to cast their bal- lot indicates lack of confidence. • This coupled with the fact the counties producing the largest volume of hogs failed to carry the - ,vote indicates the rather insecure position of the board. More co-operation and certain modifications will be necessary if the marketing board is to re- gain the confidence of the major- ity of producers," Ifr. Hill con- cluded. Although the total vote showed producers over. 67 percent in favor of the 'plan, the largest producing county, Perth, failed to give,it even a 50 percent okay and Huron, the third largest, went only 59 percent in favor. Middlesex went well over the top with a 75 percent approval. Total. votes cant in the pro- vince amounted to 37,417 of which 25,273 were "yes" and 11,950 were "No" votes. Total number of polls in the province was 417 and there were 341 spoiled ballots.' Township figures for the three counties follow: HURON Y'es No % in favour If a plane crashes, for example, ll.

An all-round livestock show- manship champion will , be de- clared and will receive an impressive new trophy donated by Kirkton Agricultural Society. Four classes of livestock will be judged — sheep, swine, dairy and beef cattle — and the cham- pions and reserve champions of each section will compete for the over-all award. The competition is open to 1958 4-H Club members in Perth, Huron, Middlesex and neighbor- ing counties. Besides the main trophy, which will be awarded annually, the winner will receive a replica donated by D.r. Normans and Dr. William Schaefer, Kirk - ton veterinarians. ' Don Pullen, R.R. 1, Granton, who is in charge of the competi- tion, says it is modelled after a similar contest at OAC, Guelph, which has proved popular.

Insurance, which I think is well worth repeating: The other day we read an ar- ticle in our daily paper which stated that violent times in Cyp- rus rolled up a total of 49 dead within 5 weeks. Another article in the Same paper mentioned the number of people killed by a disease in th province—and still another—the number killed in a plane crash. But in Canada in a single, nor- mal weekend, almost 50 people were killed hi traffic accidents— 23, or just under half, in Ontario whose annual death rate it traf- fic rises steadily (1.,279 last year). Most terrifying aspect of it all is the way that Canadians take for granted the hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries every year. when it conies to automobile accidents.

This year's program was a dis- tinct change 'from other years in that there were several • l tours taken from different areas of the count; to different parts of Western enlario. Years previ ous lo this one it had been the a practres to take one tour fo r the whole county to some distant point. This tour became too large and involved to manage satisfactorily and the cost be- came prohibitive. Two tours were taken to the farm of Alex M. Stewart and Son, at Ailsa Craig. The first was a tour by seven members of the Exeter Grain Club on July 3 and the second by 14 members of the South Huron White Bean Club on July 16. The club mem- bers were conducted around the farm by John A. Stewart who outlined the various crops being grown and explained the capa- bilities of each different ;variety winner's trophy were Parkhill Exeter and Lucan, over older varieties. On July 17, 20 members of the Blytlr•Bclgrave Beef Calf Club and North Huron Swine Club vis- ited the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph and the Coop Feed Plant as well as the Water- loo Artificial insemination 'Unit. This tour was conducted by the chub leaders and proved highly successful. The newly - for_aed Seaforth Poultry Club visited the O.A.C. Poultry Department on June. 27. They also visited several poul- try farms in the Guelph area. James Scott and R. V.

Approximately 70 members took part in this tour and visited the Western Ontario Agricultural School at Ridgetown as well as the Dominion Glass plant at Wallaceburg.
