Warm Days Then, Omen of Storm (By our Bayfield correspondent) we were, but all managed to get Persons have been commenting on the .extremely waren weather welve been enjoying this year, and certainly these sunshine days were what some folks would call "pet" on November 19. The water had looked very inviting and we were amazed, and not a little shocked, to hear that our dignified cousin had shed his clothes and enjoyed a swim in his birthday suit in Lake Huron that day. In conversation with E. A. West- lake, he told us that he recalled ploughing in the first week of De. cember in 1913. Light showers fell that day but it was almost too warm to work the horses. And Christmas Day 1911 was Si) balmy that we played outside with our sweater coats open. We re- member that year for Santa brought us a new sweater coat— red to delight the heart of a little girl! And buggies were up to the hub in mud on the Clinton road which did not delight the heart of travellers—nor the country doctor. home safely.) At any rate we recall 'the late William H. Woods telling us that hehad taken a walk to the lake - shore on his farm (now Marsville) days. The younger folk ask: "Were there ever such warm days in November before?" Yes, young- sters, there were! We cannot be sure of the year but we think that it was in 1913 that extremely mild weather fol- lowed the great storm of Novem- ber 9.

THE NINERS Members of "The Niners" farm Forum group met at the home of Elliott Lapp, this week, to discuss "The Challenge of Dairy Substi- tutes", with 16 present. Decisions reached under the leadership of E. Lapp were: if dairying were seriously hurt by the use of imitation dairy products it would cause a greater surplus, hut the forum did not think the imitations are taking the place of the real thing, and they can only be a threat if the dairy people do not meet the challenge.

In the cities the consumers speak as if they can- not afford to buy butter but due to the wide spread in the price the farmer gets, and the price the consumer pays, their ideas of farming are far from accurate. The forum was in favour of ad- vertising so that city dwellers can get a true picture of the farmers' problems. The members also thought the Ontario government should act to curb the importation of edible oils so as to give the Canadian farmer a chance to meet the demand for them. At the same time the surplus dairy pro- ducts would fill in when the edible oil stocks produced in Canada are not sufficient to meet the demand for them. 0 Mrs. Gordon Greig Farm Forum Head A woman has been named chair- man of the Huron County Farm Forums for the first time in the group's 13 years' existence.
