1908 by serv4ng as a member of •the
town council and continued,' to. set In
that •dapaeity for e. nuiri'ber of years,
Ii 1911 when Hydro was Installed
in Seaforth, Mr; Daly was appointed,
tile first 1bairman of the town's Pub -
lie Utilities Commission and continued
fill that pos1ti4n for 18 consecutive'
ra. He had -served Seaforth as
Councillor, Reeve, Mayor 'and Ohair.
Pub -
man of the Public Utilities Cornelis:
sion, and in all these positions he had
given a,'ble, honest and conseientious'
service.
That this municipal service was all-
preciated by Seaforth citizens Is ,evi-
denced by the faet that he wase agaisv
re-elected Reeve by ae lamation at,
the New Year, when all othhr•munici-
pal offices were keenly contested.
In addition to the part Mr. Daly
played in municipal politics, he had
always, taken .a conspicuous part in
all the social, educational and athletic
activities of the town, He was a past
chairman of the Collegiate Institute
Board; past President of the Seaforth
'Turf Club, Agricultural Society, Lions
,Club and Seaforth Golf Holding Cor-
poration, and was a ,member of the
Holy Name Society and Knights of
Columbus. •
The passing of such'a conspicuous
figure in public life will be -deeply re-
gretted by the people of Huron Coun-
ty and many in Western Ontario,
while the absence of his cheerful,'
familiar -figure from Main Street will
be felt for two generations.
In 1-901 Mr. Daly was united in mar=
riage at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Ham-
ilton, to Miss Mary Phelan, of that
city, ;who survives him, together with
a family of three sons and one daugh-

On . k{ebruary 19, 1897, a group of
farmers' wives •of the, Stoney Creek
district began a new era in the lives
of rural women the 'world over.' lee
spired by Mrs. Adelaide ' Hoodles8,
they gathered in ' Squires' Hall, and

in excellent condition,is he the pos-
session of the Stoney Creek Women's'
Institute, still going strong atter 50
years of ,earnest endeavorand hard
work. In plain and simple language,
as recorded by the first secretary,
Miss M. E. Nash, the storyof. how
the Institutes came into being and
planned• their early aotivities and pro-
grames, is recorded for -,posterity, and
at -this time, when Women's Institutes
hags become practically worldgride
in their scope, it is of special signifi-
cance.
The simple story of the organization

the following extract front...the origin-

in connection with ..what 3s' now ,an,
historic meeting:

of the meeting and an address was
given by Mrs. John. Hoodless. Moved

Lee, that we organize a women's de-
partment of Domestic Economy in a-
ffiliation with the Farmers' Institute.

name should be the 'Woman's Depart-
ment

South Wentworth.'
The following officers were elected:
Honorary president, .Mrs. John Hood -

vice-president, Mrs. Melson; 2nd vice-
president, Mrs, J. Dean; secretary,
Miss M. Nash; treasurer, Mrs. J. H.
McNeilly.
That is the whole record,.•of the or-
ganization meeting, the 50th anni-
versary of which was observed at
Stoney Creek on Wednesday, Feb. 19,
by a special gathering at which Mrs.
G. D. Conant, a daughter ,of Mrs, E.
D. Smith, the first president, "was the
guest speaker.,'
Less than a week after: the-organ-

meeting•of the new organization was
held, and it was at this meeting that
the present name of "Women's Itsti-

this meeting are recorded in the old
minute book as follows:

men that it could not he kept within
the confines of the original organiza"
tion, but in the years to come spread)
all over' Ontario, then all over Can-
ada
anada and across . the seven seas to
many other .lands. The pattern of
the meetings, and the type'of subjects
to be studied by the women soon be-
came apparent, and it is interesting
to note, from the minutes, that many
of the topics' considered vital 50 years
ago still have a large place in 'Wo-
men's Institute activities today.' For
instance, it is recorded that o•xx March
11, 1897, Mrs. McNeilly gave an inter-
esting and instructive paper on "Pro-
per Food For C'hildren," and at a
meeting on March 25, Dr. Mabel Hen-
derson gave a paper on "The Child in.
Health and Disease."• Thur from the
outset, health' and nutrition 'were sub-
jects' which commanded the attention
of the organization.
The constitution having provided
that the annual meeting be held in
June of each„year, the first annual
meeting was held on June 3, 1897. At
that meeting the original officers and
directors were re-elected, and a paper
on "Child Culture” was given by Mrs.
McNeilly. '
The Women's Institute of Saltfieet
remained •the only Institute in exist-
ence for 'over two years. In the an-
nual ,report of the Superintendent of
Farmers' Institutes, then F. W. Hod-
son, for ' 1896-97, the following ap-
pears: "South Wentworth is the first
Institute to take up this importaa
department, but itis to be hoped t t
the day is not far distant when each
local Far'mer's: Institute will have a
Women's Institute affiliated with it.
The fact is now recognized that young
women, as well as young men, require
ebeeial training to fit them for life
on the farm. Whether 'a provincial in-
stitution' for young women "only is
likely.to be estahlishppdsoon is a mat-

Women's Institutes may be of great

Barn Hay Drying
Experiments
In 1946 experiments to test .the- ef-
ficiency of barn hay drying for Fraser
Valley conditionswere undertaken at
-theExperimental Dominion Farm,
Agassiz, B.C. The results of these-ex-
periments,
hese'ex-
periment.s, however, are of general in-
terest," The method' used, say Me F.
Claree, of the 1+arni staff, consists of
placing partially. cured hay , over. • a
system .of wooden ducts laid on the,
mow' door and forcing a large volume
of unheated- air through' -.the mass of.
hay by means'of. a large capacity fan
until drying is completed. Those who
have .tried the system recommend
that the hay be placed in a layer not
exceeding eight feet in depth after it
has been field wilted down to approxi-
mately 40 per cent moisture. Sup-
porters of the method further contend
that by fandling,partially wilted hay
loss of valuable leaf is practically
eliminated and if drying is carried
out properly, green color is retained,
thus snaking a high grade feed.
The Agassiz installation was placed
in a mow .30 by 36 feet and equipped
with a fan capable of delivering 16,-
000 cubic feet of air per minute, or'.
approximately 15 cubic feet per
square foot of now area per. mint".
Cost ..of the installatiorn including
materials, labor, fan and electric wir-
ing, totalled $586.05.
During the haying season three
trials were made. In two of these
the ha"y was placed directly over the
duct system. • 1n; the third the fresh,
hay wan placed oiir,top of the prev-
iously dried layer. In• the three trials
the hay. was • field wilted down to 45
per cent moisture 'or slightly less be-
fore hauling was started. By the time
hauling was finished the lest loads
were down to approximately 30 per
cent moisture.
In the first experiment the hay was
definitely over -mature at time -of tut-
ting and in the second•run rain wbich
came immediately after' cutting, re-
sulted in some lose of nutrients. In.
both instances, however, carotene and
protein content were superior to com-
parable field cured hay on the basis,
of chemical analysis, The third trial
was carried out in good weather each
produced a .bay . of . excellent. quality
from the analytical standpoint.
The. mow finishing period extended
between 10 to 14 days and at the eta
of this period the hay was dried) down,
o 15-20 per cent moisture. Field wilt--
ing from a freshly cut moisture con-
tent of 75 per cent down to 45, per
cent required 24 to 36 hours in good
weather. .In the second trial rain in-
tervened immediately after cutting
and 72 hours were required before
the hay was ready for hauling. -
The three trfalw produced an esti-
mated total 'of 42,3 tons of cured hay.
The average increase in .cost, includ-
ing power consumption and deeireeia--'
tion on equipment, amounted to $•1,70
per ton of dry hay. The first season's
results must of neces•sityt be regard-
