or Sandwiches, and Cards
down, there’ll be lots of action,
and plenty of educational feat
ures. Prof. C. G. E. Downing,
O.A.C., Guelph, is in charge of
the Corn-Picking Contest, the
first, at Cash Crop Day, and the
first in Canada. The Junior Far
mer Judging Competition—-Farm
Machinery Safety Display, Com
bines and Harvesters in action-—
all will be balanced with a short,
though fact-filled speaking ses
sion.
Dr. J. G. Taggart, Canada’s
Deputy Minister of Agriculture,
is coming as the main speaker.
Hon. F. S. Thomas, Ontario Mini
ster of Agriculture, whose farm
home is only a short distance
from the site, will introduce Dr.
Taggart. Dr. Taggart is recently
returned from a meeting of a
joint U.N. Canadian Committee
devoted to promoting mutual
trade between the two countries.
His message will be timely. He
has served the Department as
Deputy Minister since 1949 and
has a wide knowledge of Canad
ian agriculture both east and
west. His contribution to the
program next Tuesday will be an
outstanding feature. The speak
ing program starts at 12:30
sharp.
Commentator From O.A.C.
Prof. James Scott, O.A.C..
Guelph, heads up the machinery
committee. He will be the com
mentator for the machinery pa
rade. The Engineering Depart
ment, O.A.C., are arranging the
farm safety demonstration dur
ing the early afternoon.
Ample acreages of all crops In
volved in the day’s program are
available for harvesting during
the day. Farm machinery com
panies are providing a show and
demonstration unique at agricul
tural events — actual operation
under field conditions.
Crop consulants will be on
hand to discuss problems in each
department of the program —
silage and husking corn — soy
beans and potatoes.
Prof. Frank Theakston will
conduct inspection tours of the
new Beef Barns on the farm.

fall wheat when there is con
siderable uncertainty as to the
prospects for this year’s new
seeding of hay and clovers.
“The commercial sugar beet
crop is now estimated at average
10 tons per acre. Most of the
beet growing area is still badly
in need of moisture, a condition
that is particularly acute in the
vicinity of Chatham. Good rains
still might bring up the yield of
the crop close to the long-term
average of 11 tons per acre. The
crop has been particularly free
of insect pests and disease, the
only drawback in any area being
lack of moisture.
Commenting on fruit and vege
tables in Western Ontario, the
report said:
“Since the middle of August
showers and thunderstorms in practically all producing areas
have done much to reduce the
effects of earlier drought con
ditions. In the northern counties
rainfall lias been heavy, Essex
and Kent counties have had
ample precipitation, while most
of the central area has had suf
ficient or nearly so during the
past week. However, certain ef
fects of the early dry spell are
permanent and cannot be com
pensated for, notably the light
set of tubers in the late potato
crop. Also the cool temperatures
accompanying the replenishment
of moisture supply have slowed
the rate of growth and maturing
of annual crops, especially toma
toes.

Special Meeting
—Continued from Page 1
Council that the Centres Board
owed it $600 was quickly re
solved when it was discovered
that a $450 cheque from the
board to the council had not
been cashed. It was agreed final
ly that the board owed the coun
cil $130.71 plus the $200 of the
uncashed cheque.
Chairman Glen Mickle appear
ed for the Recreational Council,
which officially pays the salaries
of the Rec Director and Arena
Manager, Doug Smith, and his
assistant, Alvin Willert. The
council contributes half of the
salary of Director Smith and
the board pays the other half
plus the entire amount of the
assistant’s salary.
After the finances between the
recreation council and the com
munity centres board were ironed
out, the council investigated the
debt situation of the board.
Mayor Cochrane asked how the
board got so far behind since it
had estimated earlier that it
would be able to manage on the
$4,000 grant which the council
gave it one year ago. “When we
gave the board the grant, we
thought that would put you
through,” the mayor said.
The statement showed that
over $900 had been spent on re
pairs and equipment which had
not been anticipated. Another
$300 was accounted for when
the amount of the provincial
grant turned out to be that much
less than expected.
Some discussion on the opera
tion of the arena fof the coming
season took place. Deputy-Reeve
William McKenzie suggested that
tenders should be called for the
operation of the snack bar. While
he was satisfied with the opera
tion of the bar in the past, he
felt the board should allow any
person or group of persons to
apply for the job since it was a
public operation.
