From Huron county It is report ed that although farmers have enough hay, silage and roots to carry their stock over until next spring, there is a definite shortage of grain fox* feeding poultry, hogs and -cattle. "To date there has been i a noticeable reduction in the num ber of sows and young pigs,” the Huron bulletin adds. ■Perth: "Fair quality hay, some excellent second-cut alfalfa, a 70 per cent silage corn crop, a normal root crop, and a 55 to 6 0 per cent grain supply, much of which is underweight. Sale of sows indicates a big reduction in hogs to be mar-’ keted next summer.” Middlesex: “Hay was an average crop. Most farmers will have enough with careful feeding; oth ers will be short. Silage corn crop was spotty; many silos were not completely filled. Roots are below average in yield. Grain was defin itely below normal, and western grain is very expensive, Hogs are being disposed of and producers will exercise care in grain fed to dairy cattle.” Announcements IMrth, Death and Marriage Notices are inserted free of charge.

Speaking of the current shortage of hydro-electric power in Ontario Premier Drew stated that the res ponsibility was laid .at the doorstep of the Hepburn Government. "I -can’t help but get a great deal of amusement,” said Premier Drew "out of Mr. Oliver’s suggestion that this party has something to do with the shortage of hydro-electric power in Ontario.” The cause of the shortage, Mr. Drew said, lay in the actions of the Liberal Govern ment of which Mr. Oliver was a member. "His leader—whom he supported and supported consis tently—repudiated the Quebec pow ex* contracts, and endangered the power situation in this province for many years to come. That Gov ernment, at that time, stated that this province didn’t need any con struction of any new powex* plants for years to come.” In the 30 years of provincial hydro, Premier Drew said, the sup ply of hydro-electric power has grown from 275,0 00 horsepower to 2,750,000 horsepower, most a third of those Government that Mr. ported was in. power; time the total added to the whole production in Ontario was 155,000' horsepower, of which 65,000 was actually brought into production after we came into power.” “Contrary to the expectations of -Mr. Oliver Drew said, gone up.” War, Premier Drew observed, half a million horsepower have been brought into production, and an other million horsepower will .have come into production within three years.

Now, ladies and gentle men, that statement is simply un true.” The Ontario Government does take the stand, the Premier continued, "that it is unwilling to sign an agreement with the Domin ion which denies to the people of this province the right to expand.” He has been interested, the Pre mier said, in newspaper reports of speeches in which the statement has been made that Ontario and Quebec are blocking the health and social security measures that the Dominion Government has promis ed.
