Farm . Picture Brighter
J, C. Shearer, agricultural, re`p=
resehtative, said that the farm
picture in Huron had brightened
wonderfully inbthe. past 2 weeks
but with a 25 per cent reduction
in spring grain acreage.a marked
reduction in hog production was
inevitable unless heavy inporta-
tions of western feed grain -were
made. Already scores of brood
sows were being marketed be-.
cause of the feed Shortage.
Mr. Shearer urged farmers to.
borrow money at the banks with
which to buy western grain.
The speaker outlined the sourc-
es which might be tapped, for
farm labor. Fifty boys' from the
Farm Labor .Bureau in Toronto,
willbe available to Huron coun-
ty., Many of these are giving sat-
isfaction: In South. ,Huron it. is
planned to bring in 30 conscien-
ious o.jec ors rem near Elmira
in Waterloo county. They are 'ex=
pe'rienced k farm: workers. The
wages for each is. $40,_ out • of
which • $25 is -given the laborer
and $15 to the Red Cross. -Twenty
farmers anti farmers' sons have
been alloted to Huron ,ander will
abe-here 'until the middle of Aiig-
ust. They will be a help,. and will
be paid $40 a month.
