FARMERS OF THIS DISTRICT FEELING LABOR SHORTAGE The rainfalls of the past couple of ■weeks, while materially aiding in the growth pt hay, pastures and spring grain, have proyed a severe handicap to the numerous beet growers and a worry to farmers intending to plant and beans. Day after day showers fell, sufficient to keep the farmers off the land, shower visited this section day and this week corn and are being sown, In the sugax’ beet fields the have been growing ing to be a menace, and the promised Japanese labor for which a large building has been erected at Eden in Usborne town ship, has not materialized as yet.. The building is equipped to accom modate about ninety persons and. has been in readiness for some time. Last week an appeal was made at the Exetex' High School for help and nineteen pupils volunteered to as sist in weeding sugai’ beets. The workers are under the direction of Mr. Robert Sillery, himself a eran sugar beet worker.

This does not mean that all subscribers in creased their amounts. Quite a few doubled previous gifts; some in creased gifts slightly, but too many people decreased the amounts of their subscriptions, which shows that theyf do not yet realize the great need oi’ are content to let the other fellow carry the load. The total received by the treasurer to date is about $5,440.»00 and came from the several municipalities roughly as follows: That portion of Usborne in. the Branch territory, $860; Stephen and a part of Hay, $1,280; Exeter, $2,700; and from Huron ’County Council, $600. It is necessary that, seventy per cent of the total be sent to headquarters at Toronto (about $3,780) while the balance (about $1,660) will be retained by treasurer to carry on regular Cross work in our district. It readily be seen that to keep up even increase the work that has been, done in the district it will be neces sary to continue the carrying out of special money-raising efforts that I have characterized the work of the '-various units since the war began, The writer wishes to express the sincere regret of all the workers in the District in the loss through death of the Branch president, the late Mrs. Norina A. Dore, who was an example and inspiration to all. May the work which she has so ably led continue with increased effort and. success.—R.N.’C. the Red. will and. MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER St Mlts. Wm.
