Farm Forum was held last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Pur- don, with 16 present. Community projects were discussed. These cent- red around the picnic grounds on the 10th. Many thoUght this popular place could be much improved were the river dammed back, if competent swimmers could undertake to teach the non-swimmers to swim, if there were a few boats to use, and if there were suitable enclosures for young people to change to bathing suits, and possibly the erection of a pavilion, and the installation of lights from the near- by hydro. Possibly a little leadership and co-operation will put some of these improvements over, and make this well-known summer beauty spot more enticing, and a rink would be possible in winter. Mrs. Jas.

FERTILIZERS FREIGHT COSTS During 1943 subventions' were paid on fertilizer used on crops considered essential in feeding live stock—pas- tares, field corn and ensilage crops, feed grains and mangels and turnips. This program lapsed at the end of 1943, The new plan which will apply, to fertilizers used in crop production in 1994 instead of paying subventions on fertilizers used on specified crops, equalizes the freight cost 'of all fertili- zers shipped to local distribution points where farmers take delivery, and will enable farmers in different localities to buy fertilizer at practical- ly the, same cost.
