By next October, soybean stocks in the U,S, are expected to be at their lowest level since 1956, While these develop- ments are favourable, do not assume that current high prices are likely to prevail for the 1961 crop. Prices should be strong next fall but well below current levels, Sugar Beets—The support price for Ontario growers will be the sine as last year.

The blaze was first noticed by 'Glenn Northcott, a next door neigh- bor, and another neighbor, Bill VanAmerongen, climbed to the roof and managed to keep the blaze under con- trol until firernen arrived. Roelofs, who works at the Exeter cemetery, said the chimney had been cleaned in -the fall, but thought coal dust had blocked it prior to the fire. He was in bed with the flu at the time.

The 10 -cent levy, beef pro- ducers hope, will give them sufficient funds to advertise their product and its advan- tages. Originally the directors had suggested a levy of 5 cents per head, which would have given the organization $40,000 annually, according to their estimates. Vommilolis140•014i PHONE 1.10 .
