Still Need Rain
In Huron County
The bulk of the grain harvest is now
completed in Huron County reports
G, W. Montgomery, agricultural repre-
sentative for Huron County. After
harvest cultivation is now general. A
large acreage is being prepared for
fall wheat.
The south end of the County is still
badly in need of additional moisture.
The cash crop farmer is having an
other bad year, turnips, corn, sugar
beets and white beans will be below
average crops. White beans are ripen
ing too fast and uneven, a consider
able acreage has now been pulled.
Some fields have been threshed and
combined along the lake with yields
as low as 5 bushel per acre being re
ported.

Bruce Federation Urge Support
Of Fall Dairy Promotion Fund
The Dairy Farmers of Canada June
set-aside was not collected in Ontario
this year owing to the advent of the
stablization fund in this province, re
ports Jim Powers, Bruce County Fed
eration secretary-fieldman. The plans
were to use part of the money col
lected for the stabilization fund to
support the advertising fund, usually
collected in the month of June. From
the latest report many difficulties
have arisen and the setting up of
the stabilization fund is now post
poned indefinitely,
Ontario must contribute its share
to the sales promotion fund and it
now has been decided to make the
deduction during the month of Sept
ember. Unless 100% co-operation is
received in this project, Ontario will
fall short of its commitment. Produc
tion in the month of September is
many million pounds below the month
of June. However, operators of cream
eries and other dairy processing
plants have given assurance that they
will do all possible to make the plan
successful.
The advertising of dairy products
is most essential in face of mounting
storages. Manufacturers of the com
petitive product are advertising their
product through every possible outlet,
Unless dairy producers do likewjs*,
it is going to be difficult to maintain,
a strong consumer demand.
The Bruce Federation strongly urges the producers of dairy product
to rally "behind the plan and support
their own advertising fund. The floor
price for butter is for a one year
period only; with possible high star*
age holdings next spring, the prior
could he lowered, By supporting the
September set-aside, each individual
is doing his share to lower the stoi>
age supplies.
