Eradiestion Progremo In June, 1936, we held Town- ship meetings ta organire a Caunty T.B. test. There were 85.2 percent of the live stock owners voted in favour of thý.s project and we were then ac- cepted by Federal Department of Agriculture for the general test. The test was donc in the fail of 1936 and the early part of the winter of 1937. Approxi- mately 7.3 percent of the cattie went down in the test and this meant that almost 2,900 cattle went to market under compen- sation. The sixty day retest was started in April in 1937. The second generai test was in 1944 with less than one-hall' of i percent reactors. Ths meant that Durham County be- came a T.B. Accredited Ares. The fourth test was started Ln the fail of 1955 and will be compieted during the winter of 1956. Up until January lst, 1956, 13,000 cattie had been tested with only one reactor. This has been a wonderful achievement in disease eradica- tion. Warble Fly Contrai In 1935 we did considerable 0F STAFFORD 11-52FÉ-VBROS. durA orizd âtallorc airos.

In 1935 three Townships, Hope, C a va n, and South Monaghan, purchased warble fly powder for every farmer in each Township. This was di- vided into school section re- quirements. A key man in each section looked after the distri- bution. This voluntary system of treating warble flics dld not prove too satisfactory as sev- eral farmers did not use the powder that was furnished by the Council. In 1952, Hope and Cavan Townships passed the Warble Fly Control Act and it became compulsory to have ail cattie eithcr sprayed or dusted for warbles that spring. In 1953, the remaining four Townships passed the Act and it has been compulsory to have ail cattie treated in the County sine that time. According ta our records, In 1954~, 36,259 cattie were treat- cd. Naturaliy the thoroughness of the work depends to a great extend an each Township War- bIe Fly Inspector. Brucellosis Control In 1953, Darlington and Cart- wright Townships passed the Brucellosis Act making it ne- cessary to vaccinate ail heifer calves from six to nine months. The following year the remnain- ing four Townships came under the Act. T.B. has been practicaily eliminated and we are looking forward to the day when Con- tagious Abortion will be dlean. çd Up. Artificial Breedtng Unit, Belleville The Agricultural Represen- tative attended the first meet- ing held in Belleville in 1947, ta diseuss an Artificial Unit for the district. The Breedîng Unit was organized in 1948 and for the first year wc accepted the memberships in our office, Bowmanviile, when there were 1014 members. By 1954 wc had 360 mnembers in Durham and 4,629 cattie were bred during that year. Maybe your car has outgrown its insurarice, tool TIi. ew o f amauto acci- dent today can b. fanta«Iti- caliy high.

REAL ESTATE ReuIdanee MA 3-5493 Dowumanvle Young People !! We have quite a percentage of purebred breeders using the Unit bulîs but we believe the biggest improvement has been in commercial herds. Just me- cently one breeder told me that bis original average for 20 cows bad been 6,000 ibs. of milk per year. Since using the Unit for a few years, his average bas 'increased ta 8,500 lbs. o! milk per year. Last October the first sale was held at Grafton. No doVibt there was considerable hand picking of these cattle, but they were certainiy a credit to the çlistrict and the average price was about $330.00. We believe this feature will in- crease in population in the fu- ture and will be an excellent outiet for some of the good cat- tle that can be spared. Crop Improvement It bas always been the aim of the Agricultural Represen- tative to introduce new promis- ing varieties and cultural me- thods. In 1936 we obtained about 40 bushels of Commer- cial No. 1 Erban Oats for our Boys' Club, with one bushel being given ta each boy. In 1938 we have record of these boys having sold close ta 5,0O00 bushels of seed to farmers ini the County. In 1937 we brought in the first Cartier Qats for our Boys' Club. A few years later when the variety, Ajax, was giving promising resuits, we were in- strumental in having a carloaci of this registered seed shipped in from IVManitoba. We aiso ordered and had de.. livered the first Commercial No. 1 Corneli Winter Wheat for aur 50 Bushel Wheat Club. The first year three of our farmers had aver 60 bushels 10 the acre and one farmer shipped slight- ly over 60 4iushels per acr'e from. the threshing machine to the miii. In the fail of 1953 we broughlt in close to 400 bushels of Re- gistered Genesee Wheat for our 50 Bushel Wheat Club. In 1934 we had several farmers wilh weii over 60 bushels per acre and the largest yield that year was 72.5 busheis per acre. 500 Bushel Potato Club For the past tweive years we have organized a 500 Bushel Potato Club. The yieids uncier these goad cultural practices have been tremendous. Practi- cal every year several have been above the 500 busheis. Some years a few have been above 600 bushels and ouar maximum yieid was 760 busn- els per acre. The resuits have naturally been studied by most potata growers ia the district and we believe the average yieid in the district has been inccreased considerably through this Club. For the past twenty-five yea.rs we have stressed the Jun- ior work in the County. Weý believe a Junior Farmer who is taught an appreciatian of good iivestock, gaod seed and the importance of soul manage- ment, should make a success of farming. When we wish ta put across a worthwhile senior project, we can always depend on the boys who have gane through aur Junior work ta co-operate one hundred percent. Thus 'ends the excellent re- part of the growing activities o! the work carried on by the Agricultural Representatives in Durham County, which repaît was campiled by Mr. Summers.
