Liquid Fertilizer Garnet Mousseau, manager of the Hensell District Co-opera- tive Incorporated, writea this news item for the Huron County Federation: On Sunday, June 2, 41 men left Western Ontario by bus to tour the grain handling facili ties of the State Farm Bureau in Ohio. Represented were the Ontario Wheat Marketing Board, United 0o-operatives of Ontario, Dept of Agriculture, managers and board members from 18 local cp-operatives in Western Ontario, This trip was prompted by the need for more and better stor- age of farm grain, particularly as related to the over-increas- ing acreage of corn which is taking place in our province. Our host, the State Farm Bureau, had our trip well map- ped out. Our headquarters were in Columbus, Ohio, and during our three day tour we visited everything from small country grain elevators to mammoth grain terminals with a capacity of six million bushels, and fa- cilities to dump and handle 70 Winners at Hensall fair f Exeter Ph 2351782 Whalen Corner Ph.

Ireland reported that he Could not get a seconder for his mo, Ugh at the recent meeting In Toronto. He explained that he. had been unable to talk to other county presidents before the Meeting to secure support,. Ted Dunn, Stanley. Township director, earlier reported that farmers had taken samples of grain to all three mills in Hensall and had been given three different gradings as to. moisture content. Nearest government stations are at Toronto and Chatham. Bob McGregor, RR 2 Kippen, said he supported the resolu- tion, noting that Hensall was a large seed area and warranted a government testing station. "NOT EXACTLY HAPPY" Doubt about the effectiveness of the new beef improvement association was expressed by Bob McGregor, who 'has been elected president of the group. He said he was "not exactly happy" with the ass'n, sugges- ting that an industry as impor- tant as beef should be able to secure funds through sale de- ductions to sponsor activities. McGregor revealed that funds for the ass'n would be supplied by the department of agriculture and he didn't know how much would be available to the Huron group. "I hope it will work out alright," he said. carloads of grain each l0 hour shift. We glSo saw elevators handling 40,000 bushels per hour and driers capable of hand- ling 35,000 bushels daily, The main crops in this area were corn, wheat and so yabean.S. Hogs was the major,livestock? with some beef cattle and very little poultry, All of these grain terminals Which we visited were, co-op- erative owned and operate a grain bank etorageprogram un- der which the farmer can bring his grain in at harvest time and have it stored and dried and can take it out as he needs it for feed. This eliminates the neces, sity of costly on-the-farm stor- age and also his grain is kept under controlled temperature, eliminating any loss from spoil- age or rodents. This was a very interesting and informative tour and Mr. Mousseau said much useful in- formation was obtained which could be put to very good use here in our ownprovincefor the benefit of our Ontario farmers. DISPLAY AT FAIR Elmer Ireland, president of the Huron County Federation writes: Early last spring the Huron County Federation of Agricul- ture was approached by the Kinsmen Club of Wingham, who were the sponsers of the Wing- ham Trade Fair, to have a booth at their fair.
