Huron County Soil and Crop
Improvement .Association held a
well attended dinner and annual
meeting at Belgrave, Nov. 28.
President Clarence Shaw point-
ed out the advantages that have
been provided by improved plant
breeding that has done much to
increase our yields of cereal
grains and forage crops. However
he added that if farmers are to
gain full advantage of the built-
in potential of these new seeds
we must .provide correspondingly
improved environment.
Through the next year the ef-
forts of the organization will be
directed toward soil and cultiva-

Hon. Chas. MacNaughton Honored
Wishing to recognize "the leadership you have given in the
advancement of water pollution control in Ontario and In the
protection of our water resources," the Ontario Water Resources
Commission recently presented Hon. Charles S. MacNaughton,
Ontario Minister Without Portfolio and MPP for Huron, with one
of Its annual Distinguished Service Awards. Mr, MacNaughton, a
former OWRC Commissioner, right above, is seen receiving his
award from A. M. Snider, Waterloo, chairman of the commission,
at the recent OWRC-sponsored conference on water quality marl -
agement in Toronto.

It was a real pleasure for 100
to attend ibis meeting in which
I had no definite responsibility,
and I Wish to express my appi'e-
elation to the organization for
their kind invitation.
However it has become a habit
with alae t0 try and somehow
reach some evaluation of all or-
ganizations. While it is readily
apparent that a farmer cannot
make a living unless: he had a
product to sell, by the same to-
ken he has no income unless
there is margin of selling price
over cost of production. While
improved production does Inc -
mese returns to certain Individ,
gal producers, it has resulted In
deereased returns to agriculture.
This statement is supported by
Dr. Ralph Campbell of tlio OAC,
In recent years Ontario farm-
ers have enjoyed prosperity in
the late forties and early fifties
and improved production played
its part but the basic reason was
due to the losses suffered by Hu-
ropean countries in a disasterous
war.
It appears that 1962 may also
be a prosperous year for Ontario
farmers but again it seems to me
that this prosperity will be due
to a drought, that was disaster-
ous to many Western tanners.
Can Ontario. farmers then only
expect to improve their position
at the expense of someone else?
One might take this cynical at.
titude except for the most impor-
tant "crop" that this and other
farm organizations is producing,
namely, an abundant supply of
capable, experienced and talented
leaders. Never was there a time
in agriculture when need was
greater for outstanding farm lea-
dership. We owe a debt of grata-
fade to these various organiza-
tions for providing the opportun-
ity and training for these men,
