One o! the former Grain Club boys, Gamnet Rickard o! Shaw's, has done much ta promote better and cleaner seed. He is a egistered seed grower and operates an accredit- ed seed cleaning plant on his farm. His work has been ut-*I standing and was recognized in 1945 when he was elected pres- ident, Ontario Crop Improvement Association and was president o! the Durham County Federation o!

The next year each boy had f to return a pair of weanlings for new Swine Club members. It became a valuable _ rotating scheme. In 1940 each new mem- ber paid $1 per pig for registra- tion papers and of course the ro- tation continued. Each became a member of the Swine Breeders' Association so the pigs could be kept registered. Port Hope Ro- tary Club came in with a dona- tion of $180 to formi an East Dur- ham Club. Accredited Stock Since *then six more pairs have been purchased through the Jun- ior Farmer Fund, making a total of 26 pairs ta be distributed each year. The Ontario Live Stock Branch has co-operated by sup- iing excellent breeding stock sires.Ai this has contributed to financiai11 returns running into scojres of thousands of dollars and a vast improvement in the quai- ity and feeding of pure bred pigs.1 Afurther result is that 16 club members are accredited, pure -bred ine breeders and belong to the Durham Yorkshire Imi- )f provement Association. Within the past month sales to farmers -by club members have încluded, >s8 bred gilts, 28 weanling s0w pigs, ie one hog of breeding age and 10 )weanling pigs. The SwineClb rëare considered foremost in inter- .0 est and resuits in ail the club Swork. a- Caif Club In the Caif Clubs the result n- are more difficuit ta estimate bu or in the dairy branch particulariy gethe boys and girls have won pro- r, minent places both in showman- ýa ship and judging at district and ýrt provincial fairs and field days. er In some cases, the club members n_ have induced their fathers to pur- Lat chase better herd sires. In three to cases, club members bought the Is. first pure bred calves on their farms and have developed excel- lent pure bred herds fromn that begînning, which is still another sidelight on the benefits of Junior - Farmer work., Boy Leaders Summing up generally, Mr. Summers stated: "Many of our club boys have become leaders in / their districts. One can usually depend on club boys and girls to .co-operate with any worth while project. Three of the four co- operators in the permanent pas- ture experiments are boys who weje active in club work while théýýfourth is a graduate of the 0. A.C. Club boys usually adopt im- proved methods more readily than older farmer groups. Club work pays real dividends and the De- partment has been well repaid for tetme and expense devoted to Boys' and Girls' Junior Farmer Club work." 1946 Projects In the Club projects for 1946, the foiiowing breakdown was given: East Durham Swine Club, 23 members. West Durham Swine Clubs, 29 members. Potato Club 33 members. South Durham Caif Club 25 members. North Durham vard Caif Club 19 members. Junior sey Grain Club 24 members.
