Gloor of Bornholm; Mrs. Henry Kingsley of Stratford; George Fischer and Hartley Fischer of Brussels, Haying Becoming Mechanized A gradual but definite shift in hay harvesting methods and equipment in Eastern. Canada has taken place during the last decade. Before the war, mower sales in Eastern Canada ran about 6,000 to 7,000 a year, the bulk of them horse-drawn machines. Sales 1111946 totalled 10,595, of which 8,9So were horse-drawn, 98 were tractor-drawn and 1,522 were tractor-mounted. The following year, with a better selection of equipment available, more than five times as many tractor-drawn mowers were,sold as in 1946, tractor­ mounted mower sales about held their own, but horse-drawn mower sales dropped by 16 per cent. Pre-war, dump rakes used to outsell side delivery rakes by six to one, but today the ratio has been cut down to a little better than two to one. Loader sales are on the increase. A desire to speed up opera­ tions, to increase efficiency, is regarded as a prime reason for the shift in methods and ma­ chines, but other reasons include The growing number of tractors, the improved cash position of farmers and the shortage of farm labour. C.N.E* Invites School Kids School children of the Pro­ vince of Ontario are presented with an invitation and ticket of admittance to the Canadian Na­ tional Exhibition each year. More than six hundred thousand of the little folk are thus remem­ bered, Attendance on Children’s Day exceeds two hundred thou­ sand, almost one-third of whom are children.
