MONTWl II FARM NEWS Export Trade Improves Canada’s export trade in pure­ bred Holstein cattle has been mov­ ing along nicely this year, accord­ ing to the Holstein-Freisian Associa­ tion of Canada, which reports ship­ ments for the first nine months of approximately 180'0 head. During the latter part of September, busi­ ness has been so good that in one ■day recently the Secretary’s office at Brantford issued ninety-nine ex­ port 'certificates, a number compar­ ing favorably with the business of any other one day for the past five years. Higher Prices Indicated As Result of Short Crop A considerable increase in the price of potatoes is indicated for lat­ er in the season, according to re­ ports to the Department, due to a distinct shortage in both Canadian and American crops. The later Ontario crop is now ar­ riving on the market and, while the supply of Dooley potatoes will show a decrease as compared with that of 1932, the quality is particularly good. During the time of harvesting supplies of potatoes reaching (the market will, in all probability, ex­ ceed consumptive demand. So far as the consumer is concerned, there­ fore, this will be the most advan­ tageous period for the purchase of potatoes for winter use. Salt Costs Less in Ontario "Ontario farmers will likely use more salt in their farm operations, particularly in live stock production in the future,’’ Colonel Thomas L. Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Agri­ culture, announced recently. “The salt companies have just announced a reduction in the cost of fine salt for farm purposes of aibout $1.57- per ton at the wells. This will nar­ row the discrepancy between the price of sale as sold to packers and manufacturers and that to farmers for stock raising and other farm purposes.” “Some time ago, ax me request of the United Farmers’ Co-opera­ tive Company, the Ontario Market­ ing Board made some inquiries into the situation and urged on the salt companies that a larger turnover of salt on farms would prove profitable to them provided a reduction in price was made to bring more in line the cost of salt to farmers and to packers.” “The reduction of approximately 20 per cent, in the price of fine salt in bulk takes effect immediately. In view of the large volume of salt sold yearly to farmers this will mean quite considerable savings on this account and doubtless will stimulate increased purchases of this article at the same time.” Fresh Egg Production Down Moderate Price Advance Seen According to T. A. Benson, of the Dominion Poultry Branch, fresh egg production is falling off rapidly and there is a good movement of storage. The market has continued firm with prices steadily advancing The Safe.

Plowing Match Success John Capton, a Six Nation Indian from Oshweken, captured the Eaton trophy from a field of thirty seven plowmen at the international Plow­ ing Match held in Derby Township near Owen Sound last week. His vic­ tory was a notable one, as many of the most expert plowmen in Ontario were among his competitors. More than 164 entries were made in the second day’s competition, a record entry, and 15,000 persons packed the field to watch the events. The weather was ideal for plowing and the tented city housing exhibits of farm machinery and other goods were crowded. Royal Winter Fair As a result of the annual fall sur­ vey of 'breeders, agricultural work­ ers and prospective exhibitors a real spirit of confidence and optim­ ism has gripped the Royal Winter Fair offices in Toronto. The vital role of agriculture in the perma­ ment economic welfare of Canada prompts the Royal to concentrate public attention at the next Fair on ■the fact of how closely prosperity in every other industry and enterprise, no matter how remote, is linked with a prosperous agriculture. And in the plans the small man with only a few head of stock' or a small acreage is being specifically encouraged this year to try for hon­ ors with the biggest, and with this idea in mind all the many sectional prize lists of the “ten big shows” comprised in the Royal have been recast during the past summer. The management has adopted the twin slogan'for 1933: "A Royal Aid to Agriculture” and “A Stimulus to Young Canada.” All entries should be in by No­ vember 2, and the Fair dates are November 22 to 30 inclusive. British Fruit Market Keen competition is to .be expect­ ed from Nova Scotia in the British apple markets this year, declares Andrew Fulton, overseas fruit re­ presentative. The Gravensteins al­ ready received from that Province are of very good quality. It was too early to estimate U. S. competition, hut at the time of writing the rate of exchange was depreciating a little further each day in favour of the American exporter. At the same time, the 4s. 2d. per cwt. duty still stands against American fruit enter­ ing Great Britain. Since landing in England early in September, Mr. Futon has been impressed by indication of the dis­ astrous Australiasan fruit season that is now finishing. It appears that over six million boxes of Aus­ tralian and New Zealand apples have reached the United Kingdom during the past five months. Large quantities were placed in cold stor­ age. Recently, such varieties as Tasmanian, Stammers and New Zea­ land Jonathans have been selling as low as 1-6 to 4-6 per ‘box. Remain­ ing stocks of Australian apples will naturally effect values of North American apples until they are cleaned up. Mr. Fulton says that there has been a good demand for pears, es­ pecially Barletts, owing th the light weight coming from California. On­ tario hamper Barletts hare jmade from 12s to 14 s 6d and a few half barrels averaged 20's for 96 lbs of fruit. He had no doubt that Bar- letts would continue to make satis­ factory values. It was difficult to forecast prices for Keiffers, but there was a feeling that 8s to 10s a hamper wbuld be realised accord­ ing to sizes. Current Crop Report The 193i3 flue-cured tobacco crop in Norfolk County is now estimated to be about eighteen million pounds as compared with twenty-five mil­ lion pounds last year. The quantity of the crop is very varied in quality ,but there is a percentage of excellent tobacco. Haldimand reports that the root crop is about 50 to 60 per cent normal. Potatoes in Lincoln are yielding a fair crop of good quality Mangel crops in Brana are .much better than was expected, and the second crop of alfalfa seed is of excellent colour and yielding well. In Middlesex, potatoes will run about 65 pei’ cent, of normal crop, while livestock are in only fair condition owing to the summer drought. Turnips in Bruce County are almost a complete failure on many farms due Vo aphids, on others again they are a fairly good crop. Potatoes have been bringing from 6'5c. to $1.00 per ibag in Dufferin County. The yield of mangels in Yonk is- below the usual average, while potatoes will be around a 6'5> per cent. crop. Peterboro reports that all classes of livestock have gained considerably since the pas­ tures made su'ch a splendid recov­ ery. Fall wheat in Lennox and Ad­ dington is in excellent condition with a big increase in acreage. Plow­ ing and after harvest cultivation have been more general than usual. Hay is a pool’ crop in Prescott and Russell, hut red clover seed is' pro­ ducing from 80 to 100 lbs. per load. Grenville has had one of the best buckwheat crops in history, which will help out the feed supply. Farmers in Algoma district report a fair corp of high quality grain. Temiskaming has an increased acre­ age of fall wheat and the crop looks especially good. SENTENCE FOR THEFT Pleading guilty to several charges of breaking and entering, Norval Precious was sentenced to three years in Kingston penitentiary, while his companion in crime, Charles “Red”' Kent, was given two years less one day in a reformatory, both sentences to, run concurrently,' with indentical prison terms imposed at Walkerton, two weeks ago, for the same offense. Precious and Kent were pants’ burglaries, according to their own confessions. Their method was to enter a home and raid the pockets of men’s trousers and in- some cases the trousers were carried away. Pre­ cious, in fact, had a pair of stolen trousers on him in court. When this became known in police court, he was whisked away to the county jail in an automobile. Constable Grun- dy returning a short time later with the pants under his arm. The prison­ er, having been sentenced, was left at the jail. Last August the pair entered the cottage of W. S. Morse, summer resi­ dence of Grand Bend, and stole five $50 American 'bills from the pockets of Mr. Morse’s trousers while he was bathing. Precious, a bread peddler had visited the home on occasions, and “(knew the ropes.” In the same home they took $17 in Canadian money from the trousers of a visit­ or, also two valuable wrist watches. Visiting the Lakeview Inn in Grand Bend, they entered a bedroom and stole $57 from a lady’s purse. Had on Stolon Pants The trousers which Precious wore were the property, of W. H. Young, Colborne Township, whose they en­ tered, 'but were rewarded with only loose change. From the home of David Lockhart, Auburn, they car­ ried away a "strong box” containing valuable documents. It was found beside the mail ,box next morning. The American money Precious and Kent stole proved tneir undoing. It was traced to an automobile dealer in Toronto, form whom they pur­ chased a second-hand car, paying for it with $50 in American money. They covered a large section of Western Ontario in the car, committing many burglaries and thefts. Both men have prison records.
