The secretary -treasurer, Mrs. Ted Fear, read the minutes and financial statement. George Michie gave the auditors report. President Ted Fear spoke brief- ly on township activities during the year. Greetings from the county were extended by Elmer Hunter, second vice-president of the Huron County Federation. Miss Ruth Michie led a sing- song accompanied by Mrs.John Nixon. Howard Ziegler of Advanced Farming Systems in Kitchener was introduced by Tom Hender- son. Mr. Ziegler in turn intro- duced Tom Locke of St. Louis, Missouri, fieldman for Doan Buildings, who spoke on"Latest Trends and Ideas in Farming in the U.S.A.". He also showed slides to illustrate his address. The speaker said that the changes made in agriculture in the past 10 years have been dy- namic. Farms have become fewer and at the same time larger. The trend has been to- wards more efficient production in all lines and the decade has seen a continual increase in production. Years ago, the speaker said, 25 per cent of the population was engaged in agri- culture. One farmer could feed seven other people. Today only 6.9 percent of the population is engaged in farming and one farmer looks after 26 other peo- ple. The history of farming has seen the emphasis shift from human muscle power to ani- mals, then to machines, Now the trend is to scientific and technical improvements, auto- Mated production lines, and the incr easing importance of im- proved management. New tools and new methods have resulted in hybrid seeds, better machines, improved fer- tilizers and an expanding know- ledge of genetics. The speaker said that without the use of mo- dern weedicides and insecticides the U.S. farmers would lose $38, 000, 000 of production. He gave statistics pointing to the increasing need for capi- tal in all areas of agriculture and the need for every farmer to study better management of his income. He claimed farm - AT FEDERATION ANNUAL—Morris Federa- tion of Agriculture held its annual meeting, last Friday evening at Belgrave and re- elected Ted Fear, left, president.

Sign Test Farm Contract OTTAWA -Agriculture Mini- ster Harry Hays has announced the signing of a contract that will put into operation the first of four special test farms pro- posed for Canada. Under the agreement, G.D. Brown will operate a 200 -acre test farm in the Almonte area, about 25 miles southwest of Ot- tawa, for the Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture. The con- tract is for a period of three years beginning February 1. The test farm program, un- der which it is also planned to. establish a farm in the Mari- times, one in Quebec, and one in Western Canada, is aimed at pointing the way to increased farm efficiency and revenue in areas where land is of marginal value. Each farm will serve as a practical model to show farm- ers how they can get the most out of,their operations --or a field trial of an economic farm unit. The farm near Almonte will be geared to the problems of those Eastern Canadian farmers whose lands are marginal and whose incomes, because of this, stem mostly from the production of milk for manufacturing. A practical evaluation will be made of the possibility of im- proving the income of these farmers through the rearing and marketing of calves sired by beef bulls out of Holstein dams. Revenues from the sales of these crossbred calves could supple- ment those from sales of manu- facturing milk. For the project, a herd of 65 Holstein cows will be sup- plied by the Department. They will be bred to beef bulls. The contractor will supply the land, buildings, equipment, and la- bor. All aspects of the Almonte project --including livestock weights, feed costs, labor ex- penditures and revenues --will be documented carefully to provide data for other farmers.

The cattle were packed two and three to a wooden crate, the sides and floor of which were wrapped in cellophane, to protect the ani- mals from the cold --and the plane from the animals.
