For two years he will get his hair­ cut free. And, in addition every time he steps down out of the barber’s chair he is paid 15 cents. - The barber. Who owes the man $50 agreed to-give him free haircuts until the debt is cleared. To make the payments easier to cal­ culate, the barber gives his friend 15 cents after the latter has* received the usual 85-cent haircut. Before the price jumped 10 cents the payment—about twice monthly— was a haircut plus 25 cents. Serving You NoW In Its 106th Year of Publication h J 1 Crop Report By G. W. Montgomery Outbreaks of army worms were still occurring in the County at the ejnd of the week. Poison bran baits using 50 per cent wettable DDT at 2 lbs. per acre where the infestation is not heavy and spraying with aldrin .at twp quarts in 20 to 30 gallons of water per acre for heavy infestations gives fairly ef­ fective control. Oat and barley fields have suffered the most damage, but the worms are now attacking flax and corn crops. • A 20 minute heavy rain across the centre of the county on Tuesday al­ leviated somewhat the dry condition of this area. However, rain is badly needed and all crops are suffering from lack of moisture. The wheat har­ vest is now general in the county and several fields of early oats have also been cut. A record attendance of al­ most 400 people attended the annual twilight meeting of the County Soil and Crop Improvement Association held at the County Home farm last Monday evening. Robert J.
