The first question-"How are the mcm- bers o! your group connected with the Canadian Federation o! Agriculture? Our Forum bas 100 per cent. membership in the Federation a! Agriculture. Many o! aur members are active in the Institute and Horticulture Sa- ciety. We think the Internation- al Federation o! Agriculture Pro- ducers is important because (1) It brings people o! common inter- ests o! different nationalities ta- gether; (2) members discuss each otber's ways a! farming and marketing in this way common difficulties can be overcome and the solution taken back ta each nation. Our representative, Lloyd At- chison, gave bis report on the meeting o! the Federation o! Ag- riculture held in Hope Township at Canton. Review night will be heid at the home o!

The International Federation o! Agriculture Producers is ta the world what the Federation o! Agriculture is ta Canada. Neîth- er of these organizatians are very old yet. The Canadian Federation o! Agriculture is welI knawn ta ahl farmers and is firmly estab- Ilshed. Bath a! these groups arc today and will continue ta be of great service ta people ahl over the world.

The I.F.A.P. was the sub- ject under discussion. Being members o! the Ontario Federatian 0f Agriculture we are automatically members a! the Canadian Federation o! Agricul- ture. A tax levy for the Feder- ation o! Agriculture makes us members o! that important agri- cultural organizatian. At first the Federation had splendid leaders but no de!inite member- shîp. This made it mcreiy a skelton organization. Taday, with the present system o! Federation fees being coilected in aur taxes the Federation bas a large mcm- bership with a strong influence an the agricultural policies o! aur government. Farm Forum members are keenly aware o! the work and importance of the Federation o! Agriculture. I.F.A.P. is important ta the far- mer. It plans for the distribu- tion a! world food surpluses. The gathcring together o! the representatives o! 26 nations in- terested in the impraving o! con- ditions in the warld benefits ahi -the farmer inciuded. On Fcb. 26 aur meeting will bc held at the home o! Mr. Jay TriXll. At that time "Grain Corn" and "The Spraymng o!

The topic for the even- ing was "What bas I.F.A.P. Ac- complished?" The first question for discus- sion "IIow are the members o! your group cannected with the Canadian Federation a! Agricul- ture?" This was easily answered as ah aour men are members o! the Canadian Federation o! Agri- culture. The second bal! o! this question was "In what ways do you panticipate in the activities. and paiicymaking o! the Can-i adian Federation of Agriculture?" Our Forum thougbt we partici- pated mast by providing neces- sany information through aur Farm Forums. The second ques- tion a! the discussion, "Haw many af your group had heard a! the International Federation o! Ag- riculture -Producers before this month's sertes o! discussions in Farm Forum. The majarity o! the Forum had already beard o! it. We ail thought the I.F.A.P. was important ta the farmer. The discussion peniod then over the evening was turned aver t-o Mn. and Mns.

We are connected ta the Can- adian Federatian of Agriculture through aur local organizations such as Hag, Milk, Cream, Beef Producers, the Crop Imprave- ment, the Junior Farmers, the Wamen's Institute, etc. We participate in the activities and policy making af the C.F.A. thraugh aur activities in the aforementianed g r o ups an d thraugh our Farmn Forums by passing on ideas and suggestions from them ta the C.F.A. The majority af aur group have had previaus knowledge of the I.F.A.P. and its workings. We feel that the I.F.A.P. is of great importance ta the farm- er through the negotiations of food contracts, standardization of agriculture thraughaut the world. It helps ta promote gaod will and understanding between f armers the world aver. It should take aver and do in peace time what the Gavern- ments do in war time, so that we can have better distribution of food products. The world is becoming smal- 1er, or more closely cannected, and we must do something ta help people less fortunate than us or we may face the possibility o! military action against them. A bal! hour of recreation was conducted by Stuart Dorreil and Glenn Larmer. A bauntiful lunch was served by the hostess. Next meeting ta be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Van Camp.

An Accredited County There are 34,493 hcad of cattle (including calves) in Durham Caunty according ta Dr. R. G. Cowie, resident Federation Vet- erinarian. Mr. Cawie and his staff recently completed the third general tubercular test and he states that Durham is now an accredited county until Septem- ber, 1956. The first tubercular test was made in Durham County in 1936- 37 and showed 7.3 per cent o! tubercular reactors. In the sec-j ond general test made in 1943-44,1 there were 0.41, but in the recent1 survey it was discovered thatl only one-tenth of one per cent o! the cattle in Durham Conty were reactors. Due ta this re- markably low record, the next general survey will nat take place for six years. Surveys are usually made every three years. Accarding ta Mr. Cowie, recent T. B. tests substantiate that the total number o! cattle in Durhami is 9,793 less than when a similar test was made in 1943-44. This situation may possibly be attrib- uted ta the high price cattie coin- manded at market. Durham is an accredited coun- ty, and an accredited county, ac- cording ta information receiverl, is one where tubercular reactors are less than one-baif of anc per cent. Cattie that react ta T.B. tests are those which actualiy have the disease. American buy- ers usually prefer ta do busine's in an accredited caunty. Dr. R. A. Mclntosh Addresses Meeting 0f Hoy Producers in Orono Town Hall The third annual meeting o! the Durham Hog Praducers' As- sociation was held at Orona on Feb. 16 witb President Leonard McNeil presiding. There was an excellent turnout o! 125 or more present ta hear a most instruc- tive address by Dr. R. A. Mcn-. tosh o! the Ontario Veterinary College. The President tbanked those present for their kind congratu- lations on bis being elected Presi- dent o! the Ontario Swine Breed- ers' Association for 1951. During his discourse Dr. Mc- Intosh indicated that at least 75 ta 80 per cent o! the difficulty with raising pigs was !rom far- rowing up ta possibly 50 pounds. In spite o! several more or less oontagious and infectiaus diseases he was convinced that most o! the trouble was caused by faulty feeding. When severe intestinal trouble (enteritis) developed in- dicated by loss o! weight and diarrhoca he recommended ta withhold all feed for twa regular meals and then flush tbemn with raw linseed ail from 1/3 lbs. ta 60 lbs. per pig. Mix in littie warmn skima miik and sprinkle just a littie middlings on top. Then he recommended the follow- ing ration wbich was very law in fibre: Oats (groats) -------------100 lbs. Middlings --------------- --100 lbs- Dried Buttermilk --------- 40 lbs. Drier Brewer Yeast . 5 1.bs. Iodize Sait - 2 lbs. Bone Meal- - 2 lbs. The above ration could be used until pigs are around 75 pounds per pig when they could be grad- ually given heavier feed. During the discussion period Dr. Mclntosh dealt with the dis- case Infectiaus, Rhinitîs. He stated that by marketing in!ected stock, cleaning and disin!ecting the pens with boiling lye solution -1 lb. lye ta 15 gai. o! water followed by Giiiette's Lyc and white washing that new hogs could be purchased in twa or three weeks. Dr. Mclntosh also stated there was no need ta dis- card aider breeding stock that had neyer bad rbinitis. Dr. Me- Intosh's contribution ta the meet- ing was very much appreciated as indicated by the splendid ap- plause. A door pnize o! a three monthis' old purebred Yorksbire pig was a real feature. This excellent pig was purchased from E. R. Taylor & Sons, Enniskiilen, R. R. 1, and was won by Percy Snell, New- castle, R. R. No. 3.

Ganaraska River Conservation Owns 4,396 Acres At the close o! its fourth year o! operation, December 31st, 1950, the Ganaraska River Conservation Authority is the owner o! 4,396 acres o! forest, or potential forest. This acreage, which is distri- buted over four Townships in Durham County, represents about one-third ta two-!iftbs o! the land purchases contemplated for the projected Ganaraska Forest. Roughly, one-third of the land purchased bas been planted by the Ontario Department o! Lands and Forests, and the young trees are rcported ta be doing weii. Some o! thcm will be four years aId in the Spring o! 1951. About one-third o! the land held by the Authority was bought with timber o! sufficient growth ta require no re-pianting. About one-third o! the total acreage will be planted in the next few years, as trees become available for this purpose.
