FROM the innermost fibre
to the sensational new
Gear Grip Tread, every
thing in this smart, stream
lined Firestone Champion
tire is new and different. It
sets up entirely new stand
ards of safety and long
mileage because it is the re
sult of Firestone’s . quarter-
century of experience in
building tires for race track
speeds.
Here are some of the things
you get in Firestone Cham
pion tires—new Safety-Lock
cords treated with a new and
advanced Gum-Dipping pro
cess; 27% stronger bond be
tween tread and body; 35%
greater heat protection
against blowouts; an
amazing new tread with
thousands of sharp-edged
angles for quick stops—a
tread that gives 11G
more non-skid mileage.
Not only is the Firestone
Champion an engineering
triumph but it is super
value as well—for, with
all its extra value, it does
not cost one cent more
than ordinary tires. Have
your nearby Firestone
Dealer put them on today.

IN FULL SWING
Expect Record Yield as High as
45 Bushels Per Acre
By Harry 'j. Boyle in the London
Free Press
Last week saw the wheat harvest
ing. that is the tutting and stock
ing, practically completed, and this
week will see the threshing opera
tions in full swing in Huron County
ty. Last week's weather was per
fect for the cutting of the grain and
may continue the same treatment,
may coninue the same treatment,
as it is expected a great deal of
stook threshing will be done. The
stook threshing normally accounts
lor a good deal of grain, but Agri-
euPural Representative J. C. Shear
er says that on acount of the scar
city of men there will be even more
stook threshing than usual. Yields
of as high as 45 bushels to this a-
re are confidently expected, anil
the wheat is particularly free of
rust.
There is a scarcity of men. En
listments at district points are
draining many young men from the
farm work. In and around Wrox-
eter there have been numerous re
quests from farms to various agen
cies to supply them with hired help.
Many of the farmers say that if
they had men for even two days it
wmuld make the condition a great
deal different.
Five cases of army worms were
reported and examined by Profes
sor of Entomology R. W. Thomp
son, of the Ontario Agricultural
College at Guelph. The five cases
were on farms in the Clinton-Sea
forth district, and although a gen
eral warning was made to all farm
ers, so far no more cases have been
reported to the agricultural repre
sentative’s office at Clinton.
One reason for the need of men
on farms in the district is the fact
that early oats and barley are in the
majority of cases ready for immed-
ia*e cuttina. Added to this is the
fact that late oats are coming in
very fast, so that farm work on a
great many farms will be to some
extent congested for a time.
There are some reports of grain
lodging in the northern tip of Hur
on County, but it Bruce there is
considerable reported.
Hugh Bremner, secretary of the
Canadian Jersey Breeders’ Assoc
iation. has just completed a tour of
Huron County. This outstanding
Toronto stockman said he was
pleased to find about 25 herds of
fine jerseys. It was a surprise in
that Huron County does not special
ize in the dairy industry. The Jersey
stock in '■mine cases was excellent
bu< others were “spotty” herds.
Plans are under way for the for
mation of a Huron County Breed
ers Association and this will help
to improve the stock by making
Huron County breeders more Jer
sey-conscious.

Ottawa :•—Mechanization is the
keynote of modern warfare. Wars
of movement are fought on heavy
rubber tires and steel caterpillar
threads. Fighting vehicles and me
chanized transport must be kept in i
readiness at all times to speed
troops across all types of terrain
ranging from smooth concrete to
brush country and ploughed fields.
All this same service. Armies and
army divisions cannot count on
wayside garages and service sta
tions to do their repair and refuel
ling jobs, to meet these needs
the Department of National De
fence has introduced specialized
units and equipment as part of its
Army Field Workshops.
Each army division in the field is
accompanied by two complete mo
tor transport lorries. Each is the
equivalent of a modern city garage.
Designed by the Department’s tech
nical staff each unit has a special
steel body mounted on six ■wheels
with four wheel drive and heavy
duty chassis.
Each workshop lorry is equipped
with its own electrical plant, to
operate electric grinders, drills,
lathes, brake servicing equipment
and other tools.
Lubrication, battery service and
overhauling facilities, including the
boring of cylinders, the fitting of
pistons, valve grinding and welding
are provided in this modern garage
on wheels. '
All tools required, specially de
signed by the Department’s techni
cal experts with a view to portabil
ity are part of each lorry unit.
According to the Department of
National Defence, Canada’s is the
first army to adapt such units to
regular Army divisions.
