Currie Wilson: “I have ibeen intending to write you for some time, but I never seem to get fully caught up with my cor­ respondence. I suppose you will be having a few weeks of holidays and I can just see you catching some of those fine Haliburton trout. I have been quite busy lately so have put off the idea of leave until Septem­ ber when Don (Mackenzie) and I hope to get up to Scotland for a week. We had Warwick Marshall and George Lockhart down to spend a week-end with our unit in the field about a month ago. It was a real Ingersoll reunion. “The other day I received a par­ cel containing fruit cake and sent to me by Trinity United Church, Ingersoll. It was really a treat, Har­ old and I do appreciate the way the members of Trinity United have remembered me. Please convey to them my thanks for their kindness.” Kiwanis Club Enjoys Demonstration At Pool Winners Named In Rural School Contests Mrs. Albert Fuller Tendered a Shower Mrs. Albert Fuller, who .before her recent marriage was Miss May Hutchison, was honoured last Thursday evening, when friends and neighbours to the number of about 35, gathered at the home of Mr. and JMrt.

As recently announced by the De- [ , partment all export business in such' seeds will be handled this year! through the Special Products Board ■ and any profit made in the transact­ ions will be returned to producers. | A Seed Export Office, has been' opened by the Board at Lindsay,Ont, in which all purchasing of | seed in behalf of the Board will be I centred. Through this office all’ seed dealers handling the specified seeds, either for export or resale inj the domestic market, may complete j arrangements authorizing them to act as Agents of the Special Pro­ ducts Board in the issuing of profit Iparticipation certificates to produc-! ers on seed purchased by them. i Producers wishing to participate in profits resulting from export tran-1 sactions should make sure that their seed is sold to dealers so authorized. The Department points out that the initial price on seeds purchased by the Seed Export Office on export account will be established at a level sufficiently below domestic ceiling prices to permit free move­ ment of seed to meet domestic re­ quirements. Prices at which the seeds will eventually be sold on export will, however, be materially above Canad­ ian ceiling levels and the intention is that all profits so made shall go back to producers who have obtained participation certificates on seed sold by them which may go either to the domestic or export market. The Department announces that Fred Perrin, President and Manager of Hogg and Lytle Seed Co., Oak­ wood, Ont, has been appointed Man­ ager of the Export Seed Office at’ Lindsay and has taken over his du­ ties there. He is well known in tho seed trade and operates his own 240 ’ acre farm at Oakwood. He has for ; many years been a member of the Seed Advisory Board to the Depart- 1 ment.

The proposed Soldiers’ Memorial at the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery is attracting considerable interest and the local branch of the Canadian Le­ gion who are undertaking the work, have been greatly encouraged by this interest The memorial is to be erected on land donated by the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery Board, adjoining the Le­ gion soldiers’ plot The undertaking had its origin in the feeling of the Legion members and other interest­ ed citizens that a suitable memorial should be erected to the men and women of Ingersoll who have given their lives in all wars of freedom. Progress has been made to the stage where definite plans as to the type of memorial to be erected have been made, and it has been empha­ sized that it will be of a very im­ posing nature. A decoration service will be held at the site on September 19 at 3 p.m., at which it is expected there will be a very large attend­ ance. IN SU RA N C EFire, Auto & Genera!

They are alway interested in watching the peculiar antics of their eouains on the far side of the bars, and one gets the impression that their comments are pithy, if not in­ variably polite. The cynical glance that a monkey casts towards the taxpayer who supports him indicates an intellectual appreciation of life in the aoo. The monkey has no inten­ tion of relinouishing his social se­ curity. He cal judge how far it is safe for him t| go. He knows exactly when the taxpayer must be flattered or amused and when he may be treated with contempt. The larger animals keep their feelings to themselves, except when a dog evades the strict rule of the park and wanders past their cages. Then bedlam breaks loose. Deep- throated howls of jealousy are heard all over the park. The-intruder may­ be the ugliest little unwashed mon­ grel that roams the streets, in daily peril from traffic and dog-catchers; but he is free—“The Printed Word." The truth of H« Majesty’s state­ ment that in this war we are al) in the front line is being more brought home to us in Canada. No intelli­ gent person today needs to be con­ vinced that complete utilization of Canada’s manpower, and woman­ power too, is essential to victory. No intelligent person, therefore, will be disposed to impede the gov­ ernment’s War Labor policy which is very definitely shaped to that end. Newspaper readers can assist the government very materially by studying carefully the National Se­ lective Service civilian regulations, particularly the compulsory employ­ ment transfer orders, published from tipie to time in the newspapers by authority of the minister of labor. These regulations and orders are the means by which complete util­ ization of our manpower and worn- anpow-er may be brought about.-* Jhe regulations cover, With certain ex­ ceptions, persons of either sex from 16 years of age upward. They are constantly being amended and added to from time to time to meet chang­ ing conditions. Men and women may now be called upon to leave their present employ-ment on 7 days' no­ tice to take more essential work. Men subject to the military call-up may be required to accept alterna­ tive employment. Coal miners must stay at their work; and ex-coal min­ ers, if physically fit, must report for work in the mines. Farm workers are advised what they may or may not do. Similarly, employers must not employ, or corftinue to employ, or engage any men affected by the orders without special permission to do so from the nearest Employment and Selective Service office. All classes of employers and wor­ kers are urged to read the various orders as they appear ,jn the news­ papers, to study them carefully and to assist our war effort by carrying them out. Only by such united effort will we deserve the victory for which we are so hopefully waiting. —Ottawa Citizen. The C.C.F., in its official organ, "The New Commonwealth," persists in calling the Progressive Conserva­ tives "the Tories." The C.C.F. can complain with less justice if the Progressive Conservatives insist on calling the C.C.F.-ers "the Social­ ists.’’ By no means all Conservatives were Tories. In fact, relatively few of them were. The new title, with its “Progressive prefix, symbolizes still another step away from Toryism. Time may march on, but not so very rapidly. It is only seventy-five years since the Fourteenth Amend­ ment io the U.S. Constitution, free­ ing 4.000,000 slaves, was ratified. ITALIAN GENERAL SURRENDERS TO CANADIAN COMMANDER Major General G. G.

Scat­ tered plants may be pulled by hand;mowing may be more practical where they grow profusely. Ragweedis an annual, many-branched, andgrowing from one to three feet in height The branches are slightlyhairy and the leaves are darker onthe upper side than on the under side You will see the weed alongstreets, curbs, fences around build- dings and in all sorts of odd cor­ners. Ragweed is an agricultural pest and it comes under provincial weedcontrol legislation. Municiple coun­cils are responsible for seeing that the weed law is enforced, but it isobviously in everybody's interests todo all one can to destroy ragweed.

EAST SIDE CHAMPIONS Last Friday the last of the half holidays was h(Ffa and everyone be­ took themselves to the park to wit­ ness the East and West side busi­ ness men play a game of ball for the championship. At one time >t looked like a sure thing for the West side, but after George Batchel- ler and Sid Partlo gingered up the team, there was no' stopping the Easterners. Beck, Gibson and Hutt all looked alike in the pitcher’s box, as the ball was slammed all over the lot and at the finish the score was 12-11. The teams; East Side—T. W. Nagle, p; Geo.

These breeds all produce pig* of correct bacon type, although the Yorkshire is by far the most popular. Thi* breed originated in Yorkshire, England, and surrounding counties. In colour, a clear white is desirable, but dark or bluish spots on the skin, while objectionable, do not disqualify, pro­ vided the hair is all white. Black hairs or black patches of hair are a disqualification. The value of pure white breeding stock in reducing losses from seedy bellies Mnd in improving the whole general appearance of the Wiltshire side is becoming more apd more appreciated, the reprinted bulletin No. 686 on “Swine Production" points out. The seedy belly cannot be detected until the meat reaches the retailer in Britain when he starts to cut the Wiltshire side for his trade. The damage then is done so far as Canada’s reputation for bacon is concerned.

A chemist with a new explosive in mind would ’have the elementary caution to work' out his formula in a test-tube and .^certain ijs proper­ ties and .pjumlArities,' before he fixed a batch of a ton or two. - No matter how safe 'his formula was in theory, he would know that there is an innate cussedness in chemicals that lies in wait for the unwary. Laboratory tests of social secur­ ity should not ibe difficult to arrange. There is a ready-made lab­ oratory in Riverdale Park; Toronto,where the city supports a small zoo'. There are lions, tigers, bears, mon­ keys and several other animals, lead­ ing a sheltered and ostensibly'care­ free existence. They are fed regu­ larly at the public Expense, receive expert medical attention if they fall ill, are restrained by bars,from in­ dulging in unnecessary and .wasteful feuds with the other inmates. It seems an ideal existcnce$ The benign expression on the lion’s face perhaps reflects the. inner wisdom born of long days of contemplation. The polar bear also appears content, except on the hottest days when he betrays a trace of nostalgia for the Arctic. Nevertheless, he is a sensible creature, and after many years’ ex­ perience of social security, he has no doubt come to realize how for­ tunate he is to be enjoying the cul­ tural and social advantages of Tor­ onto instead of waiting for a seal on an ice-floe in Lancaster Sound. The monkeys, more gregarious than lions and polar bears, seem to get more positive enjoyment out of The Gregg family held .their eleventh annual reunion last Thurs­ day at the home of Mis and Mrs. Chas.

Handy Time To Clean Poultry Houses While the poultry is on the range is a good time for cleaning poultry buildings. When the poultry house is empty of birds, the Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture suggests, emptjfing it of equipment. ’ Every-* thing that is notehailed down, should be taken out'in the sun and disin­ fected. Roosts, nets, and walls of the house will benefit by a thorough scraping and by scrubbing with a strong disinfectant. Roosts and dropping boards can be rid of mites by soaking in a mixture of coal oil and of used crankcase oil. The inside of the poultry house may then be given a coat of disinfectant white­ wash. Some farmers have found it's a good idea to let the clcaned-up house stay idle for a time before letting the birds back. GLASSLESS GREENHOUSE...SHATTERPROOF FOR SAFETY Up in the nose the bomb aimer sits in a cosy little "greenhouse" all his own. Between him and the stars and empty space below is a curved, crystal-dear material that looks, like glad—but isn't. Tougher by far than glass, shatterproof for safety, it is a dear transparent plastic that can be shaped and moulded to serve a thousand war- ti/he uses. Plastics are infinite in variety, indispensable to modem war, and Fabulous quantities of pure war alcohol are required to make them. Alcohol plqys a vital part not only in the making of plastics, but in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, in keeping fighting planes ice-free, and in the war against infection in hosoitals and on the battlefield. Every ounce we can produce is urgently needed. That is why ail cur plants are now an 100% war production. SERVING THE UNITED NATIONS WITH WAR ALCOHOL HIRAM WALKER & SONS LIMITED THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1943 Page 3 Of interest to Women Match Trick Most women know that certain fabric demand special care in wash­ ing, that they should be dipped fiently in fine-fabric suds tliat are safe for anything safe in water alone, and never wrung or twisted. But sometimes if you’ve bought a garment ready-made and there is no tag on it giving you adequate infor­ mation, it’s a little difficult to know exactly what material the article is made of. An interesting and easy way |o identify a fabric is to touch a match to a small piece of the fab­ ric snipped from one of the seams. If little black beads form along the edges, it’s pure silk. If it burns like paper, leaving practically no ash or deposit, it’s either cotton, linen or rayon. If the part left after it’s burned doesn’t form beads, but is similar to the cloth itself, even showring the type of weave, it’s weighted silk. If it burns slowly ■with an odor of burning nair or feathers and leaves large beads as residue, the fabric is wool, and if it actually melts, leaving a ha^d sub­ stance, it’s nylon. Fre»h Flower. Have you some artificial flowers in your house that have been around for so long that their fresh colour­ ing is completely obscured by grime and dust? Before you throw them in the wastebasket and rush out to buy another bouquet, try swishing them around in some all-pure, extra- soapy suds, and then in some clear water. Some artificial flowers are washable and respond wonderfully to baths at regular intervals.

BREAD STICKS Price Board Facts of Wartime Interest The Women’s t Regional Advisory Committee, Consumer Branch, Wes­ tern Ontario, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, answers questions -put to this paper regarding price con­ trol and ration regulations. Q.—1 was on the public market looking for peaches to preserve on Tuesday and noticed a difference of 4c per 6 quart No, 1 leno basket. Were some being sold above the cell­ ing price as set 'by an order this •.week? A.—Market prices • are being watched closely. The difference of four cents in the price of No. 1 leno baskets is more than likely due to difference in transportation char­ ges of the peaches. Locally jjroWn peaches -have no trasnportation charge allowance. Transportation charges may be added to the price of peaches transported more than 13 miles and sold by the primary producer.j* • •. ’ Q.—I hftve /several’ children under 16. Is it necessary for- them to fill out their own applications for No. 3 Ration Books and present them. A.—It is not necessary for a child under 16 to fill out his own applica­ tion card and present it for a new book. This may be done by his par­ ent or guardian. However, if the parent fills out the application card it is necessary for him to sign his own name as well as that of the child. J,—•■My home is in North Bay and I will be in London when the new ration books are issued. What do I have to do to get my ration book?* A.—Ration Book No. 3 ’m%y be secured at any of the distributing centres but when appiying5you must be sure ior give your permanent home address and present your A'o. 2 Ration Book. Q.—What is the maximum price to a consumer of a one pound glass container of honey? A.—Twenty-nine cents plus any transportation costs. Q.-It is our opinion that the sup­ ply of pumping equipment is now more ample than it was before. Should we be able to secure same for the installation of conveniences in the form of 'bathrooms, etc,? A.—No. While a few more pumps i may^be available for 1944, it still! appears that we will not have any more than enough to take care of the essential needs; sttch asf the wat­ ering of livestock, milk cooling, etc. THE MIXING BOWL AVON • r ANNf AllAN HyWte Hems t<sas**lN THIS YEAR’S PICKLES Hollo Homemakers!

How To Cook German Carp Ernie Poole, who is the outdoors expert of the Canadian National, Railways, and known internationally because of his knowledge of fish and game, recently made a suggestion as to the proper Inanner in which to cook a pike. That suggestion stirred correspondence and Mr. Poole was asked for a culinary meth­ od of dealing with German Carp. Here is the answer: “Scale and well clean your fish, split the backbone, get one inch piece of hardwood plank and some 1” finishing nails. Open the fish out flat and nail to plank, skinside down. Then lay on strips of bacon, sprinkle with garlic, pepper and salt, heat the oven to 406 degrees, and cook for 30 min­ utes. Then remove from oven, pull out nails, throw the fish into the in­ cinerator and eat the plank.” Judge—“What were you doing at that roadhouse when it was raided?” Locksmith—“I was making a bolt for the door.” Destroy this plant where you find it.

Benson, Jr., Canada Starch Company Limited, discussing a re­ cent despatch from Ottawa which said that in view of the fact that de­ liveries of corn had not been main­ tained by the Canadian Farmers, supply stocks were dwindling rap­ idly, he stated that the situation •with regard to com supply is one of the utmost urgency to the Starch Industry. The industry produces many essential foods and also special starches and adhesives used in the manufacture of war mater­ ial. The Canadian Government is now permitting the importation of corn from the United States, and realizing the imperative need for i this grain in vital war industries is providing subsidies for this purpose. Mr. Benson said that the Starch Industry for some years has been encouraging Canadian farmers to grow more hybrid corn. He indicated the Canadian Price Ceiling was ex­ tremely fair and even high in com­ parison with other grains. He urged the Canadian farmer to make deliv­ eries regularly of reasonable quan­ tities of corn in order that they may retain the Canadian market for their corn.

Protection For PotatoCrops ImportantAlthough this year’s provincialpotato acreage in Ontario is consid­ erably below the five year average, weather conditions to date, have ben favourable for the growing po­ tato crop throughout the Province. This fact, together with the in­ creased attention being given by way of caring for the crop, by spec­ ialized potato growers, may account for the 10 per cent increase in potato production over last year, as requested by the Dominion Govern­ ment previous to the planting sea­ son. "However, it is early Jet to pre­ dict fin$l yjeWs. -*nd1 rputp can de­ velop during ’the next few Weeks to destroy the potato crop, which pro­ duces more food nutrients per acre than most farm crops,’’ says R.

Every­ thing that is not nailed down should be taken out in the sun and disin­ fected. Roosts, nets, and walls of the house •will benefit by a thorough scraping and by scrubbing with a strong disinfectant. Roosts and dropping boards can be rid of mites by soaking in-a mixture of coal oil and of used crankcase oil. The inside of the poultry house may then be given a coat of disinfectant whites- wash. Some farmers have found it’s a good idea to let the cleaned-up house stay idle for a time before letting the birds back. camps to take their place in the army program, endured a certain amount of hardship, but they made good and today many of them are officers and leaders of the Corps.” Lieut.-Col.

"We had During the years 1940, 1941 and 1942, Red Cross supplies and mat­ erials were carried overseas on 616 ships. Of these, only fourteen, (ap­ proximately 2%), were lost. All others reached their destination safely. Because egg production is a vital war effort, hens should be kept in first-class condition all the year round. To do this, a certain amount of green food in the ration is of great importance, with emphasis on providing green stuff during the winter months. The Poultry Servi­ ces, Dominion Department of Agn- cutlure, call attention /.o this fact and point out that now is the time to lay in a supply of clover and alfalfa for the coming winter. ^Sbort cut, second, or third crop clover and alfalfa are valuable win­ ter feeds for poultry, affording as they do an economical source of nec­ essary vitamins and proteins. The clover and alfalfa may be fed by the forkful, or cut short in a cutting box, soaked over-night in cold water, and fed twice a day. For the purpose of green feed for poul­ try, clover and alfalfa should be cut when coming into flower, or sooner, and dried as quickly as possible without undue exposure to the weather. A good practice is to rake the cut clover into windrows as soon as it is properly dry, and then put quickly into coils. When properly cured and stored, it comes out green and appetizing.

WOODSTOCK BUSINESS COLLEGE: Please lend information to: 4i \How the Cost of Living Index WorksBy Jim Greenblat In the House of Commas, July 7, the Honorable J. L. Ilsley,Dominion Minister of Finance, gave some time to the explanation of :■ . cost-of-living index, (particularly interesting in the light ofpresent discussions of food price*. Jim Greenblat gives the gistof Mr, Ilsley’s remarks, in non-technical language, as follows. The cost of living1 index as related ation from their regional setups. to the cost o•fl .liv_irnlgrw abno’tn uAs nddo edsnon’t't think for a minute that directly worry’ the farmer, small proprietor and such like, but indir­ ectly everyone should have the low down in their minds about this im­ portant part of our national econ- ‘ omy if they don’t wish to get too provincial in their thinking. Let’s review the matter inform­ ally so you’ll remember it without any effort. The cost of living index measures the month-to-m o n t h change in the cost of living of the average typical wage-earner’s fam­ ily, by the Bureau of Statistics. It is based on a full year record, made in 1937-38 on 1,500 Canadian fam­ ilies, averaging 4.6 persons with an average income of $1,453. The in­ dex was in six main groups, showing food to take 31% of the income, fuel and light 6%, housing 19%, clothing 12%, home furnishings and services 9'. and miscellaneous 23%. Folks may howl that living condi­ tions have changed a lot since 1937- 38. True! The Bureau knows that, and it makes the necessary changes. For example, after sugar rationing came in the amount of sugar in the index was reduced. Then, when cheap lines are off the market mak­ ing you fork over more for more expensive articles, the price of these is considered in the index; The index records variations in the cost of a fixed standard of .living in urbarr areas. It does not measure the increased costs of people who improve their standard of living. Not without logic, some people ask why does the index only show a rise of 17% during the war, when such items as stewing beef rocketed up 78'7. lard 73% for example. The fact of the matter is, of course, that all foods comprise less than aj third of the whole cost of living in­ dex, and we have to look at it in that perspective. Many foods, too, and important ones, have risen much less. For instance, bread^ sugar and such foods have remained fairly steady and milk is reduced in price. And don’t think for a minute that representatives fail to visit small centres for that purpose. They do, definitely. Question* of Quality Mom complains about changes in quality, deterioration of clothing and home furnishings, noticeable in our wartime economy. Well, the Bureau thinks of that too and treats the reduction in quality as if it was a price increase of the same amount. You can see for yourself that they can’t get direct price quotations on every item in the family budget, but what they do is to get the typical, and “weight" those prices sufficient­ ly to cover all items in any group. To get a slant on the problems, let’s look at foods. Many foods have a wide seasonal price fluctuation as you know. Then again, all veget­ ables aren’t sold on a weight basis. Some are sold in bunches and so the price may vary according to the quantity. If some “average” system wasn’t adopted, the index would cer­ tainly be “less” than “more” accur­ ate. What they do is pick represen­ tative prices month-to-month, which includes some 44 food items amount­ ing to just about 75% of the total cost of food. Much for a Hat?

Inthe meantime they aro given lec­tures by appropriate officer# onforest andgame protection, trail riding, pack­ ing, camping, operating radio and fire-fighting equipment, and many other important things that are part of the life and work of a Park War­ den. They are also taught something of the geography (and perhaps the geology) of the park areas, so that they will be able to give accurate and intelligent information to park visitors. The boys wear a smart uniform complete with red tunic, shirt, green hat and tie, and of course their badge of office. In addition the Chief Junior Warden displays a star to in­ dicate his rank and authority. They are at all times specially alert to any attempt by enemy agents to sabotage our forests during wartime. Junior Park Wardens are first and foremost conservationists. Even though many of these lads may not have the inclination or aptitude .for the life of Park Warden as a defin­ ite career, they will at least have learned something of the importance of protecting our great national heri­ tage of forest and wild life re­ sources, They also learn the correct names of trees and flowers and birds,, and have an opportunity to study the habits of many of the wild given to a number of lads under six- (creatures in the parks.

Junior Park Wardens wildlife management, The arrival of the summer season always brings to most Canadian schoolboys a longing for life out-of- doors, away from hot classrooms, books and blackboards. They dream of scouting through the woods, rid­ ing horse back, discovering wild ani­ mals in their native haunts, and all the other interesting things of na­ ture that fill a boy’s heart with de­ light and wonder. This year an opportunity has been * OPENING OF OGOKI DIVERSION Just completed by Tile Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario and hailed as an under­ taking which is unique in the annaJs of engineering, the Ogoki diversion is now ipen. Otto Holden, chief hydraulic engineer, H.E.P.C., (upper left) smashes a bottle containing Niagara river water against an 1,800-lb. log which had been raised from one of the Summit dam sluiceways, a ceremony that officially marked the opening of the diversion.

Facts About Weeds There are countries where land ownership is not outright and the farmer's tenure can be terminated if he fails to keep it in good order. Ex­ cessive -weed infestation is taken as sufficient evidence of neglect. In Canada there are situations where land deverting to mortage holders may continue under the occupancy of the farmer, when he accepts sup­ ervision of his operations from agents of the holders, becomes pro­ ductive again in many cases. In all western and some eastern provinces there are "Weed Control Acts which designate what plants shall be deemed noxious weeds, and require every occupant or oaner of land to destroy these as may be necessary to prevent the ripening of their seeds. view of the frailties of human na­ture, the Acta further provide pen­alties as a last resort, and inspectorswho are to ascertain any failure toheed the law. After first notifyingdelinquents, inspector s may pros:-cute or cause to be cut, at the cropowner's expense, such limited partof the crop as may be required, all within certain regulations. In the course of his dutiea the competent weed inspector does much more than "spy" upon the farmer. He can be a counsellor with the far­ mer upon weed matters. He is the "eyes” of the Department concern­ ing the advent and spread of new weeds. The difficulties in the way of the successful working of Weed Acts may appear unsurmountable. known defects can be remedied, but the greatest weakness of all—the penv>iial equation—requires special attention. Weeds are no trifle in the national economy. Here is a land girl who wanted tostart in a small way The story was i told by Lady Denman, head of theWomen’s Land Army.

Canadian farmers used more fertilizer in the 1943 crop sea­ son than ever before and as there in every prospect the demand will continue to increase, arrangements have been made by the Fertilizer Administrator to have a still larger total tonnage of fertilizers available for the Fall of 1943 and the Spring of 1944. In view of the prospects for this larger tonnage, and with the same total tonnage of mixed fertil­ izer containing potash, every farmer the Administrator points out, should HAY FEVEltf Ailergitabs ...... $1,00-$2.50 Razmah Cap* .......i80e-$l.00 Respirin Cap* ...J;...........50c Haytone ...?........«.. 25c-50c Murine ................£..............55t Thurtell’s Drug Store DANCING Stratford Casino Every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Holidays FULL COURSE MEALS 35c up WHOLESOME FOODSQUICK SERVICE FISH and CHIf*S - 20c STAR CAFE 95 Thame* St. Ingersoll • Phone 497W • .

With enough nit­ rogen and phosphates for the heav­ ier soils, and a suitable range of potash in mixed fertilizers for such crops as potatoes, canning, and truck crops, there should be enough fertilizers of the satisfactory kind to meet the requirements of the food production program for this Fall and next Spring. It is estimated that there will be about 90 per cent more both of nit­ rogen and phosphates available. Nit-, rate of soda will be obtainable only' | on permit for very special needs in i top-dressing certain vegetable crops, and it must not be used in fertilizer mixtures. However, a .new form of free-flowing ammon­ ium nitrate made in Canadian muni­ tion plants is now on the market.I This material, containing 34 per cent I nitrogen, will fill the requirements for much of the nitrogen. i As more potash is required in i Britain next year, farmers in Can- I ada and the United States will have to carry on with about 15 to 20 per cent less actual potash than they I used in 1942-43, the reduction in I' the use of potash being in the same i proportions in both countries. To meet this change in supply, new fertilizer analyses are necessary. The number of analyses of mixed fertilizers has been reduced and the analyser themselves have ‘been changed a little. For example, the popular 2-12-6 has been altered to 2-12-4, and the 4-8-10 to 4-8-8. Un­ til more potash is available it has been necessary to drop the 2-12-10 i and the 0-12-10 from the approved I list altogether. By these reductions, j it is possible to save about 9,000 I tons of K20, the amount which must be saved to meet the present situation. However, with this cut in the percentage of potash, there will still be about the same total tonnage of mixW fertilizers containing pot­ ash. .Farmers who wish to, inix^fertiliz­ ers on the farm can continue to do so but they cannot use potash alone. The amount of potash fertilizer a farmer can now buy must not be more than enough to make one of the analyses of mixed fertilizers approved for 1943-44. The grades fixed for the five Eas­ tern Provinces for 1943-44 are: for general crops, 2-12-4; 4Q5-8; 4-12-6; and 0-14-7. Because larger supplies of nitrogen and phosphates are arranged for, a 3-18-0 analysis^has been added to the list for use on the heavier soil to help supply any in­ creasing demand for fertilizers, par­ ticularly on grain crops, that may develop.- For tobacco, three analyses may be manufactured. They are .the 2-10-8 and the 3-10-8 for Jlue-cured tobacco; and the 5-8-7 for b'urlpy, pipe, and cigar,leaf tobacco. As there is now more nitrogen arranged for than last Tear, the 3 per cent nitrogen analysis, as 3-10-8, has been added to the list. Because of the smaller tonnage of potash, the 2-12-10 analysis hps been dropped. The 9-5-7 analyses that is usually available for tree fruits has been re­ duced to a 9-5-5. “CANADIANS MAGNIFICENT’ SAYS MONTGOMERY “I know well the fighting men of Canada. They are magnificent soldiers and the long and careful training they have received in England will now be put to good use to the great benefit of the 8th Army.” This Was the greeting accorded Canadian troops joining the British Sth Army for the Silician campaign by the fighting 8th*s famous leader, Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, shown here (left) with Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Allied forces in North Africa. O T T A W A WEEK BY WEEK — By Dean Wilson — WORLD HISTORY MADE IN CANADA after the situation in Canada had .been examined carefully and closely. There has been no doubt in the* mind of this veteran observer that since the start of this war. Prime I Minister Mackenzie King has nol i only been the busiest man along j Parliament Hill but he has been far' busier than the man-in-the street has realized. Indeed there have been periods when prior to ex-j tremely important world events his many duties have kept him so con-j INGERSOLL informed circles along Parliament Hill if when peace will come there, will be two Ministers instead of onejfor the portfolios of Prime Minister! and Secretary of State for External! Affairs in Canada. At the present J time the two portfolios of Prime i Minister and Secretary of State for Exernal Affairs are both held by Premier Mackenzie King who when he was once questioned on this sub­ ject in Parliament, replied that • nine-tenths of the work of the Prime While there is an urgent need for the largest supply of all forage crop seeds, that it is possible to get this year, the most concern is over al­ sike clover seed, says Nelson Young, Seeds Administrator. Alsike seed or the seed of alfalfa, red clover or alsike and white clover mixtures, should be sold through licensed seed dealers and the grower should be sure to ask for a profit participation certificate, as any profit made in the resale of i the seed will be shared pro rata among the growers. Seed dealers ' I must obtain authorization to issue ! profit participation certificates to .

Just such; a time marked the period which preceded the historic meetings in old Quebec of Canada’s Prime Min­ ister with the leaders of Great Brit­ ain and the United States with an impression existing that this sixth' conference between President Roose­ velt, Premier Churchill and others together with consultations be­ tween their chief advisers on mili­ tary strategy, might reach momen­ tous decisions in the war and be­ come one of the most important of all such meetings, particularly since events on the fighting' fronts and elsewhere hav<? been happening rather quickly at this turning point of the ■war. In other words, world history has been made in old Quebec and an important if not decisive chapter of this World War II has been writteen on Canadian soil though it must be emphasized that it is inadvisable at this time for the man-in-the-strect, throughout Can­ ada to speculate or to guess about the exact decisions or occurrences of this historic event. Minister of Canada in wartime con­ cerned external affairs and that thioi work would be more difficult if' there were two Ministers instead of. one in this period hinting broadly that he himself might take action to separate the two posts when peace will come though meanwhile he in­ tended to continue as at present. It is emphasized in Ottawa that the vast defence projects in North­ western Canada, the famous Alaska been invested in Government Bonds of May 15, 1943. THIRST AND MORALE It has been declared that much sugar had been made available to soft drink companies in compar­ ison to the amount of sugar allowed for sueh essential purposes as can­ ning and preserving with one claim being made that when a family of five only received 60 pounds of su­ gar for canning at the same time those persons were given 33 pounds for soft drinks. 'However, it has been pointed out in Ottawa that the supplies of^sugar for soft drinks and candy n’ad already been cut 30 per cent, from 1941 and this had been termed substantial and severe. In addition, since a great many per­ sons had complained that beer had not been available as much as de­ sired and that soft drinks had been deemed to be essential to morale es­ pecially in war plants, an extremely drastic cut in the amount of soft drinks obtainable has not been con­ sidered advisable. too CANADA’S TAXES AND WAR ■ THE It has been held in Ottawa throughout this var that Canada should endeavour to pay as much as possible of its War ’expenditure orcost out of its ^urrent income and now this same view , has been ex- pressedxin Washington by the Secre­ tary of the Treasury in the United States, Hon. Henry Morgenthau, who has proclaimed. in an Official state­ ment that taxes are-the best method of paying for the war because they pay for’ the war once and for all. An even deeper impression was made by his historic disclosure that Canada was paying 47 per cent of the war cost with taxes whereas the United States was piling 36 per cent and Great Britain jvas paying 52 per cent. ' NO BAD EFFECTS EXPECTED Tfiere have been no expectations in the nation’s capital that harvest operations would be affected by the recent release to the United King­ dom by Canada of more than 4,. 000,400 pounds of binder twine since, there have been strehuobs, ef- forts’ to avoid any shortage in Can­ ada with the United Kingdom doing everything possible to meet Canad­ ian needs.
