Federation Annual Meeting • , (Continued from Page 1) in Huron are now contributing to the Federation of Agrioulture on the basis of a two -fifths -of -a -mill tax levy, or a township grant equivalent to such a levy, Mr. McKercher reported. "We hope that those two will come in this year on the two-fifths of a .rill," he added. Good Financial Condition The finances of the Huron Fed- eration of Agriculture are in good condition, Mr, McKercher noted, but the problem of indifference to the work of the Federation by many farmers is one that remains, and that may be associated with the method of getting funds through township tax levies. "I sometimes think," said Mr, McKercher, "that we 'would be better to charge a membership fee, of $5.00, or $10, or $15, apd let us stand or fall on that. '1f enough people can net be found to pay memberships and support the organization, then what am I doing here as president? I am still willing' to stay with the levy system — but sometimes I wonder. I1' a farmer actually paid aut $10 and saw it going, he might take more interest than he does when the money slips out the back door of his tax -bill." • Referring in .his presidential ad- dress to the defeat, in a vote tak- en among Ontario poultry produc- ers this spring, of a proposed poul- try -marketing scheme, Mr. McKer- cher noted that the Federation of Agriculture had sponsored the vote, but that its officials had found d'fficulty in explaining to farmers, before the vote, what the probable effect of the proposed marketing scheme might be. "I should like to see the Minister of Agriculture have the power," Mr. McKercher suggested, "to implement a mar- keting scheme for a trial period of not more than three years, and at the end of the trial period to have a vote." Trial Marketing Scheme "A trial period wouldn't be likely to make us or break us," he suggested, "and at the end of the trial farmers would know what they were• voting on, and could say whether or not they wanted to keep the marketing scheme." If the minister should be given the power to, give a•marketing scheme a trial, Mr.McKercher suggested, the minister should act on the advice of an organized commodity group. Referring to a hog producers' meeting at Clinton on Nov. 14, at which a Bruce County delegate stronay criticized press coverage of arrcnitural organizations, .Mr. McKercher said:.. "1 deplore the attitude that some of the people in our organization take toward the press.' How ban we expect to get a person to sit down and write the kind of report that we should like to see, if we get up and criticize them at public meetings?" "Personally," said Orval Taylor, Belgrave, president of the Huron Hog Producers' Association, "so long as I am. .head of the Huron hog producers the press will con- tinue to be welcome at all our meetings. I can not be responsible for everything that is said 'by all our speakers." Mare` Hoes, Less Money So far in 1952, said Mr. Taylor, reporting for the county hog pro- ducers, Ontario farmers have sold more hogs for less total money than the year ,before. For the first 10 month® of the year, he said, hog marketings are up about 360,000'head, and cash received by farmers for hogs marketed is down about $2,000,000. A- survey of the intentions of farmers, he said, in- dicates that in Huron County bog breedings are. likely to be down about 40 per tent this year, with a matching decrease to be expect- ed in 1953 marketings. "there is also a decline," he ob- served, "in the percentage of A-1 hogs. This is regrettable while there is a hope of regaining the British market." Mr. Taylor said he could see tittle -hope foe the future in the UnitedStales a arflet, other than tot the sale of &iolce bacons and 'harks. Be'suggested I t'b.ifiugif*af#i Mfg* nas®eeuyed looking... for new markets abroad, "instead of all the time leaning on the Dominion Government." One more year of operation, it was retorted at the meeting by Hume Ciiitton, •Getierich township, will probably wind up the affairs of the special Goderich Elevator fund administered 'by the Huron Federation of Agriculture. Helps Huron Students For six years, said Mr. Clutton, the fund has been used to help Huron students take short courses at the Ontario Agricultural ,®,Col- lege, Guelph, and at the University of Western Ontario, London. "It has been about as wotthwhile a project' as we could have thought of," said, Mr. Clutton. He reported that about $700 remains, and that 1953 will probably. be the' last year of the•'fund's existence. A change in the, constitution of the Huron Federation of Agricul- ture,. proposed by the executive, was approved by the meeting. The change -makes it possible for all officers' of township federations to vote at the electipn of officers to the county executive, Previously each township was limited' to two voting delegates at the election of officers for the county body. G. W. Montgomery, who presid- ed for the annual election of offi- cers at the meeting, congratulated the Federation on the thorough- ness and success of the warble fly campaign conducted in Huron in 1952 under Federation of Agricul- ture sponsorship, The records show, he said, that 97,000 head of cattle in Huron received the first (Cantluve.,id, tr9M 17,440 2) •Challenge TreOhy, awarded the suc- cessful exhibitor. When the !Royal Winter `Oak was resumed ba 1946 following World War '11, a class was developed for baby beef steers to be shown by members of Boys' and Girls' Calf Clubs 'organized in the 'province. From that time until the success- ful conclusion of this year's fair, the class has never ceased to look back. When the first class was shown in 1946 there were 42 entries with the guineas being awarde'i to Bohn . ru. olu 1010 i4C the Cotppetition Thi6 time the tltteiey'a bountP *aa.Plei Up by ITej z�ethl 4s Moron,, Iuyol >ti^g , 9F gto$" cF. m 7 oplow up;R re, orclk� �'y" en ; h1s caltAt Mgr 1 O Q a pound, a figure that "has not space been equalled.•• It was:* Qhis ,year that the .Department made the eg habit more attractive by ,providing white sweaters, adorned with suit- able crests, for all :exhibitors. In 1948 -there were 902 entries with the Guineas again being won by Kenneth McKinnon. The double win resulted• in a regulation being instituted that ruled ineligible pre- vious winners in future competi= tions. With interest in the class con- tinuing to grow there were 113 calves exhibited in 1949 with the Kinsman, Cromarty, Pert)1 County, winner being Duncan Campbell, He exhibited a Shorthorn calf,' Moffat, Halton County. His winner which sold for 5.50 a pound at the, dll was a Shorthorn which. auctioned following auction for $2.00 a pound. Interest increased, in 1947 An all-time high of 159 ealves were entered in 1,950. This time an Aberdeen -Angus, exhibited by Alex McIntosh, Guelph Township, Wel- lington County, was the winner. Subpequent auction for the calf rotted $2 a pound. ' In 1951 a regulation was passed changing the age limits of the .ex- hibitors. A11 exhibitors maw- must have reached their 14th birthday by November 1, and- not have with spray, and 92,000 ,head received the second spray. - The Federation of Agriculture has also been of aid to the big 19 - club 4-11 program in Huron this year, said Mr. Montgomery; many directors of the Federation, he said, have served as club leaders, Surplus Showing The secretary of the meeting was Gordon Greig, Bluevale, secretary- fieldman of the' Huron Federation. Mr. Greig presented the secretary's and treasurer's reports, and noted that from a deficit position at the end of the 1951 financial year, the Federation has recovered its finan- cial balance, and shows a surplus of $175 at October 31, the end of the 1952 financial year. Since the books were closed Oct. 31, he re- ported, there have been further re- ceipts of about $600' from Stanley township, and $45 from the sugar beet growers' organization. It has been decided, Mr. Greig reported, to. stop giving an annual scholarship of $100 for a Huron student attending the Ontario Agri- cultural College, and to replace it with financial aid to •10 students at the O.A.C. short course held Christmas week. Each township Federation, he said, is entitled to nominate one student for the short course assistance. *member 1) • or 'ftte ye: eatvep I e,P int anfAl a r» sold for 2.05 a po144d3 ¶I'1#ip yet r' Qb.e emapetitionilecamo oSYnialiy ,1tnoWt1 as the "Queen' 'Guineas"' and 80 calves were earr hibited.
