This year the Co-Ordinating Committee for the Northern Stocker and Feeder Sales wel- comes the farmers of the Grey- Bruce Live Stock Co-Operative as new members. Their Sale is at Wiarton. Manitoulin con- tinues to improve its yards and New Liskeard is doing likewise. The Parry Sound District Live- stock Co-Operative has nearly completed erection of a new cov- ered sale yard, where both the Sale ring and cattle will be under cover. Each Sale has sent entryforms to all its members and listing of cattle being consigned has started. Due to the postal strike little word has been received but we hope the six Sales will have a reasonable idea of the offerings by the end of this month when they will be publicized. The Northern Districts have had fairly similar weather this year with sufficient rain. Warm weather has given abundant pas- ture all season and cattle have developed well. As in the past a Calf Sale will be held at South River on October 16th. Forates.5„ t., , .,, . Acton ... , ... , Sept. 2o,g1 Bayfield Sept. 24,25 Blyth ....

Local manager Jack Urquhart reports his operation is working double shift around the clock and is expected to continue until at least the end of the month. Urquhart said "The_yield is well above average and the quality of the corn is excellent. The heat of the last couple of weeks made this crop. The rain of the last couple of days hasn't done any harm as this area has been low in moisture for most of the summer." To offset the return of many student workers to school this week, a contingent of young men has again been brought in from Trinidad for the busy month ahead.
