Guest speaker, J. J. Neilson, in-
ti'odeced by Robert, Allan, Hance -
field, spoke on the possibilities of
corn being grown en a wider basis
in Huron county.
Mr. Neilson, an instructor in ex-
tension at Ridgettown Agricultural
School, said one-quarter of all
hybrid corn, yields have surpassed
States grows corn, and because of
hybird corn, yields have surpassed
the old open po]linatedi corn great-
ly.
He told the members there were
several reasons why the county
should grow more corn: it is as
safe as any other ceral crop. fits
well into, rotalttuon plan, helps to
glean up onweeds; protects the
'organic matter in the soil; a far-
mer's fertilizer dollar willl bring
him more returns; no need for ex-
pensive storage places.
A draw on a pen donated by a
Clinton jeweller, was won by Dyke
Wheatley, Seaforth.
Elston Cardiff, Brussels, M.P.,
said that "when we consider the
number of farmers who are leav-
ing the farm. for the city to work
in industry; then we will realize
how important crop improvement
is, Only 14 per cent of Canada's
population are fanners. Yet we
could grow twice the amount of
food as we are growing if we could
get the price for it."
Others who spoke included: Tom
Pryde, M,P., Exeter; Verne Pin-
combe, reeve of Usborne township;
William Jewett, reeve of Hullett
township; •Gordon Greig, B.luevale,
secretary of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture; A. S.
Holton, R.R. 1, Dublin, assistant
agricultural representative for
Huron County; and Harry Dougall
Hensall, a past president of the
county Junior Farmers.
The anniversary banquet was
served by the members of the
Londesboro Women's Institute, to
whore thanks was offered by first

ceived by Mrs. S. Lyon, president
