GRAIN STOCKS NONE TO GREAT The end of last week the Agricul- tural Supply .Board issued a warning that Canada's immense supply of grain is probably none too great for safety. There is the greatest carry- over of grain in the West. at present than for many years, in fact, it is a record. Despite this the warnieg is sent out. We have a tremendone, job. to raise hogs and poultry to feed our people et hoMe and simply the United Kingdom and, probably in the near future parts of conquered Europe. This will take a -great deal of grain and we must maintain our position. as the granary of the Allies. We have been told that some farmers 'are cut- ting their production of hogs as they' had a short crop of grain. We have. every confidence that the farmers in :this district will keep up production As the grain is available front the West, but this should be ordered at .once if this has not already been done, 'We have had short crops here in On- 'tario and in parts of Quebec, but many ;farmers are counting on as great production as during, the past year, but they are relying on procuring much of SOLDIERS ON THE MOVE When word was flashed to the world. on Friday morning that Italy had been invaded it set the hopes‘of -us at home in high gear once more.

They , are on the continent, the first perm e anent landings since the days of Dun- kirk. The Canadians in the battle of Sicily gave a fine account of them- selves and proved they were great sol- diers, They will repeat in this invas- ion of Italy and in future operations to which they may be given. We at home have a duty to carry on and we must not fail our soldiers that are on the move. They risk their all, They are tackling the toughest war job the world have ever known; the invasion of the Continent. We must be pre- pared to do our best for them now and later, when they come back, * * EDUCATION'S' HELPMATES If it was not for the number of married women that are taking on the added responsibility of teaching school our educational system in.

At present there are no vacan- cies in North Huron inspectorate or et the most, three. We must not neglect the education of our children and we should give a hearty vote of thanks to those, who after years have elapsed since they gave educational instruction, are now back wielding the -pointer and teaching our children not only reading, writing and arithmetic, but also how to be good citizens in the future, NEWS of the DISTRICT when bold thieves entered the Swift • Canadian Company plant and stole $1,$00 in •caeh.

Farms. News) Lambs are usually weaned at ap- aproXimately five months of age, that is about in late August or in Septeinber depending upon conditions. The lambs should be separated from the main flock and pasture or a. feed, lot provida ed, preferably at some distance from the ewe flock. Wether lambs and, ewe lambs intended for market should be separated from. the lambs to be held for breeding purposes, those intended for market may be placed. on rape or alfalfa pasture, and gradually stetted: on g,raittAeoi that as ehepasture becom- es less luxuriant they will:be approach- ing a full grain ration.. In a test at the Dominion Experi- mental Station at Scott, Sask.,. says E. Van Nikes.

In order to qualify for the govern- ment fertilizer subvention, farmers must apply fertilizer to one or-more of the following crops: 1. Grass and legume pastures, en- nual pastures,. such- as. rape, fall rye, etc. 2. Clover, alfalfa and all other hay crops 3. Silage crops. such as. corn- or leg- umes used as silage. 4.
