AgrkuIturaIAgrktkiturar Activities In Huron
County During Past Year Reviewed
The agricultural activity lb
Huron County within the past
.year was outlined by D. H.
Miles, ag. rep,, before the Nov-
ember, session of Huron County
Council last week.
Included in his review was
the' following:
There has been a greater de-
mand on the part of the dairies
for high test milk because of
the interest in the public for a
tower fat milk and a chance for
the dairies to supply cream to
the trade at a greater yield than
the 3,5, differential. The beef
cattle future is a question mark
in the minds of a lot of people,
There was an excellent choice
ler quality of cattle for the in-
divi i a9 needs this- fall" at a
price much less than most peo-
ple, expected to pay. The' great
est interest tlii.s yce.)r may be in
the short keep cattle and a lot
of feeders are lookin.i 1u va'rds

ieal feeding of beef cattle. Last
Year the calf clubs experimented
with stilbestrol and this year
all animals will be • treated with
diethyl stilbestrol. The experi-
ments for this year's calf club
are Co-Ral the new systemic,in-
secticide for the control of
warble grubs and lice and the
use of Cobalt bullets to improve
appetites and feed intake.
Huron and Bruce -counties'
were chosen this fall by the
Department of Agriculture to
test the effectiveness of Co-Ral
.is a control of.the warble grub.
This insecticide kills the grub
before' it rty'arires the back of
:he animal. The manufacturer
indicates greater wgains will re-
oilt from the control of these
;rubs and lice.' Six hundred
cattle have been treated in the
Ivo counties and a like nulftber
;re beim; used •on checks, If
lis insecticide proves effective,
the present Warble Fly Control
Art may have to be revised.
"lilkin4 dairy cattle and animals
n!ended for slaughter within 60
;lays should not be treated.
The hog situation has not
changed very much. There are
still a lot of hogs in the county.
Poultry situation is about the
same as last year with the tur-
key ',pio ducers joining the broil-
er mehY, working on a very slim
margin. The egg market is not,
settled. Sheep -continue one of'
the bright spots in the livestock
field with probably the greatest
returns''Po't''`money invested. Two;
new diseases we will be con=
cerned with in the coming year
will be Leptespirosis and Johne's.
Disease.
Huron County had a fairly
good year as far as crops are,
concerned. Grain yield was not
as high •as the 1958 crop but,
was an average one. Hay was
plentiful with fodder and 'husk -1
work 411 have to be done on
Mexican Dean Beetle Control.
Sixteen farmers participated in
a pasture .competition with Al-
vin Betties of 'Baytfield the win-
ner and runner-up in the Zone
Competition: The Crop Improve-
ment Association has carried
on a varied program during the
year with a number of .demon
stratigns that have proved
worthwhile. Sugar beet trans-
planting has advanced f a r
enough to move to the field with
transplanting to bp done on an
acre basis- with a''transplanter.
More work should be done with
birdsfoot trefoil on land not
suitable, for alfalfa.
During the year, Huron Coun-
ty has become "gazetted". and
now has been declared %a Brucel-
losis Control* Area. It is not
known when testing will take
place but compensation may be
paid on reactors uncovered from
official tests. Y....,„,-•

conducting an Accident Survey.
We have received reports on the,

EVERY WALK'- OF LIFE
�' SIMCE. 18-1 _
ANNUAL -MEET
FEDERATION
Nearly 200 attended the an-
nual mee'ting-_.of Huron County'
Federation of Agriculture at1
Londesboro on Thursday. Guest
speaker was, Robert W. Carbert,
of . the 'Canadia-n--ieration of
A,rigulture. . '
Vlr� Carbert said, that the abil
ity of producers to control their”
output through 't'heir own mar-
keting boards would 'determine
agriculture's success in the fu-
ture. He ,stated that programs
were undertaken by the govern-
mentduring a' time when the
surpluses were„ getting out of
hand.
Ile said some persons describ-
ed the federal government's de-
ficieney payment program as a
political manoeuvre designed tot
please the vast majority of farm -i
ers—efficient and inefficient-�
and at the same time, put a 1
crimp into the efforts -of ---a-1-1{
larger producers. r
"Nowou know and I know,"
hp told the meeting, "that no
politician would for one minute
even remotely consider such a
practice and neither would farm-
ers or their organizations accept;
such programs."
Speaking on the feed freight
assistance policy on western
grains, Mr., Carbert said that
"any shortsighted- drive to have
this policy cancelled ' (would im-
pose 'tremendous penalties upon
the (Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario
and British Columbia farmers,"
and -,that it would eventually
force Ontario feeders to accept
much lower prices for their
stock. • •'RANK ' REIT)

The Mutual Life of Canada policy-
holders a "accustomed to big divi-
dends. The company is famous for
its outstanding dividend .record.
The increased dividends that will
be aid'to the policyholders in 1960 -.
will further reduce the low net cost
th-eir insurance. The Mutual
Life has been providing .policy-
holders with insurance coverage at
the lowest possible cost since 1869,
th\year the company was formed,
to plug', pudding.
In the Book of Common Pray-
er of the 'Church of (England the
raydr' for the Iast Sunday be-
fore Advent: began with, the
words, "Stir Up."
The people of Peter iorough
took this to be a reininder that
they should start their plum,
pudding at that time. And every-
body in the tfainily took . hand
in the stirring until it was
ready ... at Christmas.
This 'indispensable old -tithe
English Christmas dish was fur-
,menty or frutmenty. According
to old-• recipes. it was "wheat
boiled until the grains .burst,
then strained and boiled again
with .broth or niilk and yolks
of eggs."
and has been applying the same
principles to group insurance since
the company entered that field in
1927.
