W. Montgomery, agri cultural representative told The Times-Advocate this week. “This dry spell will definitely cut down on the ultimate yield of the crops to a certain extent,” he said, “but if we have rain soon, not too much damage will result.” The representative said there is a substantial hay crop and the hot weather is maturing it much faster than usual and is speed ing harvest operation. It’s the grain and cash crops which are suffering. Barley wheat are coming short in straw. However, heads will mature lat er, he predicted, if it rains soon. It would be ideal weather for corn with a bit more rain, he said, but some farmers have had to replant corn seed since the first seed didn’t come up at all. Several farmers in this district have plowed sugar beet fields. Mr. Montgomery wouldn’t give an estimate of the damage to yield. However, he said a con tinued dry spell will do serious damage, Kent and Lambton Counties are especially hard hit by the drought. Middlesex has not had a rain since May 24. and Announcement was made to day by Andrew Y. McLean, M.P. for Huron-Perth that approval has been given for a Federal Health Grant in an amount of ? 41,8 00 towards the cost of con struction of the new South on and District Hospital at ter.

In the 1949 report on the valley, a $800,000 improve ment project was recommended in the area but members felt less expensive construction would be satisfactory.
