A. tentative estimate of. the total amount of feed utilized in Canada during the calendar year 1942 itt the form of grains and commercial mixed feeds in- dicates a disappearance of about 13,- 000,000 tons. It would appear, says the Review, that the percentage of commercial feeds to the total feed us- ed is about 5.5 per cent. Grain retained on farms for feeding purposes during 1942 accounted for about 12 million tons of the total, while protein ingredients, comprising tankage, gluten feed, brewers and dis- tillers grains, fishmeal, alfalfa meal, oilcake and meal from soybean, lin- seed, copra, and cottonseed, and mill- feeds from wheat-flour production, ae- counted for an additional one Million. tons. viromio) (ogglo) AUCTION SALE - of farm stock and implements will be held at Lot 22, Concession C, Turnberry, at 1 o'clock on Tuesday, September 21st.

The step is one of a number taken or contemplated in the light of an im- proved strategic situation, a pressing manpower shortage in Canada and the fact that the army has "passed the expansion stage." Ili a rough estimate of. the military forces in Canada given the House of Commons by Defence Minister Ral- ston last June the 250,000 men were divided into three equal parts, 80,000 in the operational units, including the three divisions afefcted by today's an- nouncement, 80,000 in the training stream and 80,000 in the home war establishment, engaged on staff work at headquarters and training centres and in servicing establishments. Announcement, when carried into effect, will bring the home operational force clown to something like 60,000. FALL FAIR DATES Agricultural Societies' Fairs and ESr- hibitions, 1943.

News Received at Lucknow Recently Lucknow residents were, saddened by two messages that con- tained bad news. Mrs. William Mac- Kenzie received word that her son, Flt. Sgt, Alex MacKenzie, D.F.M., was missing after air operations overseas, He has been operational flying for about a year and a half and had made almost 60 flights over enemy territory. The other sad message contained the news that Squadron Leader J. Grant MacKenzie was missing, .presumed dead, after a plane crash in Newfound- land, His body was recovered later. Grant was well known here as he at- tended Wingham High School and graduated in 1936 as a medical doctor from the University of Toronto. At the time of his enlistment, May of last year, he was specialist in the Department ,of Otolaryngology of the Davis and Neff Clinic in Madison, Wisconsin. He 'was doing special work for the airforce and has been in Newfoundland only a little over a week when the accident that cost him his life occurred. KEEP FEED BAGS MOVING INTO TRADE Many farmers may know the tempt- ation when mixing live-stock rations to get the feed bag open in a hurry. In- stead of opening the seam by cutting the string, they may slash the bag. It is not only illegal now to destroy or even to mutilate a jute or cotton bag, but it is unnecessary. Bags need not be torn by handling with hooks; they can be lifted by hand, They need not have their fibres weakened through storing in a damp place; they can be well shaken and hung over a wire in a high, dry part of the barn. There they will be kept dry and, what's more, safe from the gnawing teeth of rats and mice. But even better than storing empty bags in the barn is to get them back into circulation. Every bag .is needed and will have to be used again and again, Farmers are asked to turn in to the trade the bags they are not using. Pass the bags along to the feed dealer or licensed peddler, who will .pay for them and again get them into circulation. COMMERCIAL FEEDS Preliminary figures for the calendar year 1942 show that the manufacture of commercial mixed feeds increased about 44 per cent over the production in the calendar year 1941, states the Quarterly Review of Coarse Grains.
