rowth is encouraged
at Jr. Farmers' banquet
A oximately 50 Junior
Far • er county directors
from across the province
were special guests Satur-
day evening at the Huron
County Junior Farmers'
ASSOciation's second annual
banquet, held in the Blyth.
Community Centre.
The banquet featured the
installation of officers., for
lfl 1, award presentations
and a guest speaker, Bruce
McCall, operator of the
Brussels Stock Yards.
Mr. McCall encouraged
the young farmers to take
their interest in agriculture
seriously for the betterment
of the country.
He said the Junior Far-
mers represent one of
Canada's greatest resources
— agriculture — because all
Canadians depend on the
productivity of the land. He
maintained that this pro-
ductivity has been looked
afterand improved upon by
organizations, such as the
Junior Farmers, "by joining
together' and exchanging
ideas for the benefit of the
whole industry".
Mr. McCall felt that Most
of the country's problems
are centered around non-
renewable resources, but
agriculture is a renewable
resource and it should be
protected.
He warned the crowd that
government doesn't always
give agriculture the atten-
tion it deserves '" and
suggested that political lead-
ers be warned against,
"destroying the land by
putting it under asphalt and
cement".
During the meeting two
awards were presented for
outstanding achievements.
The -Bill Armstrong Award,
for the outstanding Junior
Farmer of the year, was
presented to Wayne Schap -
ton of Exeter, and the Huron
County Junior Farmers'
t MRS. ALLAN GRIFFITH
Community Betterment
Award went to •the West

The young farmerscom-
mOdity group is .currently
conducting a comparison
study, investigating ,what is
offered to young farmers in
other provinces, compared
to Ontario. This study will be
presented at the dinner.
Mrs. Fortune explained
that out of 10 provinces,
Ontario budgeted the lowest
percentage of funds for agri-
culture.
There was some discussion
regarding the competitors
'for the Murray' Cardiff
Trophy, which is a county-
wide competition for which
.six 4-H' members compete
through a series of inter-
views.
It was suggested that three
competitors be chosen from
the north end of the county
and three from the south.
However most leaders felt.
that .procedure would split
the county and result in
animosity between the two
halves.
One leader said, ."By
splitting the kids, you are
going to split thleaders and
create animosity between
the north and the south."
In other business, a
committee was formed to
investigate the feasibility of
holding a 4-11 beef show and
sale. The event would be held
for those members who are
not ready for or don't wish to
take part in the Queen's
Guineas event at the Royal
Winter Fair.
Len MacGregor, OMAF
extension assistant, ex-
plained there are about 100
beef club ; members in
Huron; only 22 competed in
Toronto.
A resolution was passed
stating that a $1.00 entry fee
be charged to each member
who wishes to show livestock
at the championship show at
Seaforth. The entry fee
would- go toward judges'
fees; in order to attract
higher calibre judges for the
competitions.
The resolution will be for-
warded to the executive of
the event for discussion.
Mr. MacGregor reported
there are two new clubs
scheduled for 1981, a poultry
