Special provision is be­ ing made fox* a new judging ring for swine so that the public may better view the exhibits this year than in any previous year. For half a cen­ tury the Guelph Winter Fair has been giving a valuable lead to the live stock industry and agriculture in general. A record entry is assur­ ed and there should be a large at­ tendance by farmers from counties within driving distance. now stabled. Middlesex: reports that harvesting of turnips and sugar beets was seriously'delayed by wet weather, Sugar beets have been yielding up to 20 tons pex’ acre ip that county; though sugar content is frequently as low as 14 per cent. Lincoln and other counties report­ ed that heavy and continued rains made it possible to plow soils which were almost too hard to. turn over previously. From Port Arthur comes word that roots and veget­ able were an exceptionally good crop this year. Grading is Desirable The current issue of the Econom­ ic Annalist, official organ of the fed­ eral Agricultural Economics Branch is the source of the following state­ ment:— “The establishment and mainten­ ance of grades is particularly desir- able in the case of cooperative mar­ keting. The grower of a good com­ modity should receive for the extra care and volved in producing a duct. Canadian farmers or handling farxn products who looking for new markets must in mind that theix* products meet competition from othei’ areas and perchance othei’ counties.

At the present time and. for all time jyast Canada has had unre­ stricted entrance into the British market. She has now been set a definite quota that she may expect but that quantity is so large that it will be a mattex’ of a number of years before the figures of 2,50'0,- 000 cwt. (280,000,0’00 lbs.) have . any specific meaning. The importance of Canadian’s ba- can quota is that it is part of the plan, the main feature of which is the announced policy of the United . Kingdom to restore a reasonable "stability in the British market for , by means of the limitation of the importations of all of meats of which bacon and men are bear r W1^.meat products, and to. policy around a pro­ file basis of standard- details of the working out plan of limitation devolves it has been Seed Prospects The preliminary report of clover and grass seed production for 1932 issued by the Dominion Seed Branch summarizes prospects fox* the cur­ rent year as follows: “Clovers and alfalfa promise a - much smallei’ total yield of seed in Canada than last year, while more timothy and blue grass are in pros­ pect. Alfalfa prospects are poor as the first cut failed to set seed in Ontario, and a short crop of alfalfa seed is expected in Southern Alber- tra.

Threshing- Red Clover Last season mechanical injury was reported in red clover seed which came from Central Ontario The seed was broken or chipped and complaints of poor germination ’ as a .result were received from Great Britain. An investigation conduct­ ed by John D. McLeod of the de­ partmental .staff indicates that too early threshing is largely respons­ ible for the injury and also unsuit­ able and poorly-adjusted threshers. Down in the Ottawa Valley nothing judge castigates j CLINTON YOUTHS Charges Against Them Fxiils Be­ cause of Insufficient Evidence-— Other Cases at Assizes. The fall sittings of tbe Supreme Court of Ontario for the County of Huron opened in Goderich on 'Tues­ day, November 15, with Mr, Justice Jeffrey presiding. Judge Jeffrey, after the formal opening of the Court, explained to the grand jury their specific duties, with explanation of the various mat­ ters' to come before them. The first case to be tried was that Of Plum vs. Stretton. Ernest Plum owjxex’ of a poolroom in the Stret­ ton block, Brussels, claimed $2,000 as satisfaction fox’ the seizure and sale of his effects by bailiff on a charge of non-payment of rent. Stretton, acting as agent w for his wife, Mrs. Anna Stretton, owner of the block, had agreed, according to the plaintiff, to remove all partit­ ions in the store. The argument centred around whether ox* not a certain br ick wall, the rear of the original building, to which an ad­ dition had been made, constituted a partition oi’ .not. Goods and labor, it was alleged, had been rendered Stretton by the plaintiff for which no payment or credit had been given The case, tried without a jury, lasted five hours. At the close of this* period, the litigants retired, ,and came to a settlement. The case of McQuarrie vs. Prid­ ham did not come before the Court a settlement having been made out of court. William T. McQuarrje, pt Brussels, had filed a claim of >$5,000 against J. C. Pridham for injuries sustained by his infant son when Pridham suddenly used the emerg­ ency brake of his oar, throwing the McQuarrie child through the 'wind­ shield. The child’s face is perma­ nently disfigured .as a result accident. True bills were brought in grand jury in the cases of the vs. Goldthorpe, the' Crown vs. Wm. Watkins and Douglas Kennedy, of Clinton, and the Crown vs. Leonard Ritchie, Grand Valley. The case of Olivei’ Goldthorpe.. charged with having in his posses­ sion firearms and of using same in a manner dangerous to the public peace, was adjourned upon presen­ tation by his solicitor of a certfii- cate from his doctor stating his con­ dition to be such that he could not appear before the .Court, of the by the Crown Sentence Suspended !Tlie case of the Crown vs. Leonard Ritchie of Grand Valley occupied the whole session Wednesday after­ noon.

Brome and western”rye grass/Jike this has been reported and Mr. is the western provinces promise. McLeod attributes both the lack of ^CLn^!_Seed lafl Lear I damage and generally large returns ®5per acre to the fact that red clover "’is never put through the thresher until winter weather’ has set in ana the crop is thoroug’hly dry. Also he recommends that the j.ob be done with a huller or with a mach­ ine with a, clover attachment. Put­ ting red clover through an ordinary thresher is condemned as wasteful. ing to more moisture during the t growing season. The acreage o! bent grass for seed in Prince Edward Island is cent, less reported at about 25 than last year.” Sweet Potatoes of 3,500 bushels of per fineA crop quality sweet potatoes was grown on a farm of 62 acres near Delhi in Norfolk County this season by Dr. Fitzsimmons, a native of the district who had resided for some years in New Jersey, and who was struck by the similarity of the soil in the sweet-potato-growing areas of" that State to that of Norfolk. The ex­ cellent tubers produced by him this summer have attracted widespread interest and the producer has had more orders than he could fill. His farm is in the heart of the tobacco district and it is quite likely that others farmers will be tempted to turn from tobacco to sweet potatoes next year. The tobacco drying kilns can be used for dehydrating the tu­ bers. young Ontario cdurse .of the X X Current Crop Report Reports from agricultural repre­ sentatives reveal much dissatisfac­ tion among farmers due to low prices of live stock and produce be­ ing offered.

They were instructed by His Lordship, to try again. Half an hour later they returned with a verdict of not guil­ ty on the first count, guilty on the second count, and not guilty on the third count.'* Counsel for the defendant, iFraxxk Donnelly, pleaded for leniency on account of the accused’s youth (22) years and the fact that he’has a wife and child to support. Judge Jef­ frey ordered Ritchie released on suspended sentence. Grand Jury’s Recommendations The grand jury completed an in­ spection of the county jail, the Children’s Shelter and the County House of Refuge, and reported all in clean and sanitary condition and under excellent supervision. < They submitted the .suggestion that two fire extinguishers be plac-. ed in the jail, as there was not ade­ quate fire protection. 'They recom­ mended that a bettex* heating system should be installed in the Children’s Shelter, and also reported that the Siheltex* has no fire protection, sug­ gesting the installation of fire ex­ tinguishers and a fire escape. The occupants if upstairs could not es­ cape should fire break out in the hall below, except through the win­ dows, the report indicated. The jury reported that fire escapes at the House of Refuge are too steep for the use of the old, and recom­ mends that slides should be substi­ tuted oi’ the condition rectified in some way. Judge Jeffery commended the jury upon submitting such a comprehen­ sive report with such intelligent re­ commendations and indicated that lie would turn it over to the proper authorities with the hope that some­ thing would be done by way of carrying out their suggestions.
