GETS HAIRCUT, PLUS 15
CENTS FOR 2 YEARS
One .Kitchener man has apparently
solved the problem of the rising cost
of haircuts—for a couple of years, at
least.
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.

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.
