A. V. Langton, Agricultural Representative for Elgin County, and Secretary-Treasurer of Cash Crop Day, reports that both the Husking and Silage corn plots, planted for the demonstration, have been treated by the new method with the result that Cash Crop growers will be able to as­ sess the value of the new method of fertilization. Variety Of Corn Twelve varieties of Husking corn have been planted by the committee, four rows of each be­ ing sown. In addition there will be width planting demonstrations You Cam Win If You Use CO-OP FEEDS Exeter District Co-op PHONE 287 COLLECT with spacing of 40, 60 and 80 inches, maintaining 10,000 plants per acre. Six varieties of silage corn are also under cultivation making it possible for the On­ tario farmer to assess their rela­ tive merits in the field. For the potato grower there will be ample opportunity to see the results obtained from differ­ ent varieties, some 11 different types having been planted. There will he three rows of each varie­ ty. Another feature will be a plot where Zinc Sulphate was used prior to planting as well as being dusted on the row before the plant was up. New Soybean Varieties Eleven varieties of soybeans including some new promising varieties have been laid out and should prove of interest to those engaged in growing this popular crop. In addition there will be the results obtained from the planting of 10 varieties of oats including four strains that are new in Western Ontario. One of the features in the Oat section will be "Garry” oats secured from the Rust Laboratory, Wi- nipeg, which are said to be re­ sistent to Victoria root rot. A new feature in connection with Cash Crop Day will be a mechanical Corn-Picking Contest designed safe and the field, entrants age, be farmers or custom opera­ tors. Judging will be based on the time consumed, the amount of corn left in the field, husks left on corn, shelled corn in the load and safe operation. Prof. C. G. E. Downing, of the Engin­ eering Department, Ontario Ag­ ricultural College, will head the Contest Committee. Closing date for entries is August 28. Entries should be forwarded to A. V. Langton, Department of Agricul­ ture, St. Thomas. A handsome trophy and prize money will be awarded. With some 8,000 people at­ tending the event last year Mur­ ray McLean, President of Cash Crop Day, is confident that this year’s programme will attract many more interested visitors. to draw efficient Under the must be attention to operation in contest rules 21 years of Free Deliveries on Saturdays -■ Hog Shipping Every Tuesday WITH ‘blue coal’ WARM WEATHER DISCOUHTS The ‘blue coal’ Budget Plan plus the warm weather discount now available add up to dollars saved on next winter’s heating budget.

"OPEN DISCUSSION ON ALCO­ HOLISM MEETING FEATURE.” That was a reference to the Can­ adian Conference on Social work being held in Toronto in June. Members of the legal and medi­ cal professions, a prison psychol­ ogist, a clergyman, an educator and a social worker each de­ scribed his method of meeting problems posed by alcoholics. Very recently the Society for Dentistry for children, meeting in Toronto, had Dr. Bell, medical director of Toronto’s Shadow­ brook Health Foundation, ad­ dress them on alcoholism. The same speaker gave a lecture on the same subject last fall in Con­ vocation Hall at a meeting spon­ sored by the Royal Canadian In­ stitute. The pffbple at large are evidently awakening to the grav­ ity of this health menace. Alco­ holism is the fourth most deadly disease in the world, according to the findings of the World Health Organization. France, a beer and wine country, ranks second in the. number of alcohol­ ics per 100,000 of population. The population of Hamilton, On­ tario, is less by some 40,000 than the number of alcoholics we have in Canada. The combined popula­ tions of Owen Sound, Stratford and Woodstock does not equal the total number of alcoholics w'e have in Ontario. These are startl­ ing statistics. The Ontario Gov­ ernment is concerned, for it plans to set up 22 Clinics in On­ tario for the treatment of alco­ holics.

This p r o b 1 e m also stands out like a sore thumb in the Corn Belt where many farm­ ers have turned to livestock as means of marketing their sur­ pluses. So with these reasons and many other factors that will ap­ ply to each farmer’s individual set-up careful consideration should be given the idea, of changing over to straight corn production because 1954’s har- Phone 719 Exeter • FOR HEATING, PLUMBING, EAVESTROUGHING & OIL BURNER SERVICE & INSTALLATION • SIGN PAINTING • TRUCK LETTERING ALF ANDRUS 403 ANDREW STREET £ £ 3 vest is somewhat lighter than usual, especially the mixed grains and oats. You may be slightly short on straw this year but by using a little less you’JI get by same as you did other times when the supply was light. Perhaps the old conventional way of harvesting will come into its own this year. The straw spreaders on the combines won’t be used quite so much and more acres of straw will be gathered to get by. Of course, a few show­ ers next week could boost the straw an inch or two, but it won’t help as much as it would have the past two weeks. Cheer up, lower the binder or swather knife a couple of notches and you will be surprised how much bedding you really have got after all. DID YOU KNOW?
