The slogan “The more you give, the more Exeter benefits" is true because one dollar out of every five contributed in the Exeter area will remain in the Exeter rural service unit ex- clusively for rural needs. Remember that not only does a substantial portion of each con- tribution remain right here in the Exeter service fund to help the needs of our community, but many regional activities of The Salvation Army such as •Beth- esda Home and Hospital for un- married mothers; the Men's So- cial Service Centre for needy men; the Children's Village for children in need of homes; the Glenhuron fresh air camp for underprivileged childred, All will benefit from this Appeal. According to the general chair- man, Mr. Pooley, everyone seems to have a good word for The Salvation Army whether it is a serviceman who fought in world wars one and two or other conflicts since. The men can't seem to say enough in praise of the "Sallies". The mothers are among the strongest boosters of The Sal- vation Army because they not only know and deeply apprec- iate the efforts of the organ- ization on behalf of their hus- bands and sons in wartime but also praise them for the humani- tarian activities of this day.

Most of the weigh station ship- ping points will open October 7-8 for factory delivery. Of the 12,000 plus acres in crop this year, it was estimated that a harvest between 225,000 arid 230,000 tons will be obtained, with an average of approximately 19 tons per acre, slightly down from the record 19.7 tons per acre of last year. However, Canada and Domin- ion estimated that the sugar con- tent will be higher as present tests are running 15.5 percent as compared with the 14.2 per- cent of same date 1965, meaning a greater return to growers than that of 1965. Some of the increase in acre- age this year was due to the fact the comp any employed some mechanical demonstration plots through the area, a practice they will continue in the 196'7 growing year. While the company expected a little less tonnage per acre this harvesting season, it was pointed out growers could end up with more returns from their crop, because of the higher sugar con- tent of the beets. Despite a poor spring, field- men for the company said at the meeting, the crop bounced back and from recent surveys it ap- pears the crop is in excellent condition and if the weather is favorable, harvesting conditions should be on par with the best years. Acreage comparisons show that 12,000 acres were grown this year as compared with 11,- 027 of 1965.
