ZONE MEETING OF
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES
A request for uniformity in On-
tario In dates for Daylight Sav-
ing Tinges was endorsed by dele-
gates from 15 agricultural socio.
ties in Huron and Perth, holding
their annual zone meeting at
Brussels.
Without a dissenting 'nice, re•
preseutatives of the 15 societies
approved a proposal by a three-
man resolutions committee that
the Agricultural Council of On-
tario and the Ontario Association
of Agricultural Societies be ask-
ed to campaign against a repeti-
tion of the patchwork arrange-
ment of time changes that afflic-
ted
fflictted the zone area during the Fall
Fair season this year.
The resolution was drafted by
William McKenzie, reeve of Exe-
ter and chairman of Huron coun-
ty council's agricultural commit-
tee; K. J. Reaney, secretary of
Mitchell Fall Fair; Frank Bell,
sec:treas., of the Perth Plow-
men's Association • and former
secretary of Stratford Fall Fair.
The muting approved it unani-
mously, after it hard been pre-
sented by Reeve McKenzie,
Principal speaker at the meet-
ing was G. W. Montgomery, Tor-
onto, agricultural agent for the
Canadian National Railways, and
former agricultural representa-
tive for Huron. Alex McTaggart,
Toronto, of the agricultural soci-
eties branch of the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, was pre-
sent to answer queries about pro-
vincial grants to Stairs, and to ad-
vise on policy for agrieelturai
societies.
James Mair, Brussels, was re-
elected zone chairman fbr a see
cull year; John Seimon, Logan,
township, was re-elected vice-
chairmen; and George. Watt, of
Blyth, was re-elected secretary -
treasurer. The nominating com-
mittee report, recommending
that all throe continue in office,
was presented by Sidney Har-
low, R.R, 2, St, Pauls.
The women's division of the
zone also voted to continue the
1955 executive in office for 1959,
with Mrs. William Sebben, R. R.
4, Stratford, as president; Mrs.
Josoph Grummett, Seaforth'„ vice-
presiclent; Mts. Lorne Scrimge-
our, Blyth, sec.-treas.
Fall Fair directors who think
that their only responsibility is
to put on the annual Fair are
losing sight of most of their pro-
per objectives, said Mr. Mont-
gomery, in his noon d'inner•hour
address to the men and women
delegates, There were once 400
agrioultural societies in Ontario;
now there are only about 200, he
sale. "Many of the other 340
macre the mistake of losing sight
W everytheng but the annual
Fair," he said,

late improvements in farming
should be made by agriculture
societies, Mr. Montgomery said
Activities that tau properly be
undertaken by agricultural sone
ties, he said, include surveys
and atudies of farm problems

"Advocates of central county
Fairs will never be able to re-
place our local agricultural socd-
eties,-if the agricultural ante -
ties are working on a year-round
basis," said Mr. Montgomery. One
of the aims of every society, he
suggested, should be to find ways
of Making the local fairgrounds
useful at other times of year than
the annual fall exhibition,
"In areas too small to be serv-
ed by a service club," Mr. Mont-
gomery suggested, 'agricultural
societies can fill a gap and rend-
er a service."
'Delegates were advised by Wil-
liam Anderson, secretary of the
Stratford Agricultural SooletY,
that they should review thein
public liability insurance, and
make certain they have enough
coverage as protection against
'clams for injuries to people at
the fairgrounds..
Mr. Anderson's s u. es e ,s t i o n
came in the course oe an open
discussion period conducted be
Douglas Miles and Ralph E.
White ag reps for Sluron and
Perth, respectively. They were
assisted by Mr. McTaggart, and
by Arthur Bolton and Bruce Mc-
Corquodale, assistants to Air..
Miles and Mr. White, 'respective-
ly.
David White, president of St.
Marys Agricultural Society, said
he believes the distribution of
prize money to departments of
the Fair should be reviewed fre-
quently to keep it up to date.
This year, he said, his own Fair
paid out about $1,000 in prizes
for horses, and only about 3100
in prizes for Bogs; it is his own
opinion, he said, that that does
not reflect in true. proportion be-
tween the place of the horse and
