SERIOUS CROP SITUATION
"Not hopeless by any means" is the
report from Ottawa by Dr. P. O. Rip-
ley, Dominion field husbandman, but
"Pretty Grim" is the report from many
districts in Ontario as continuing
rainstorms and swollen rivers are
bringing Ontario farmers closer to one
of the most disastrous crop failures in
history.
For weeks the farmers of Western
Ontario have been forced to delay
their spring work as they surveyed
acres upon acres of land made sodden
and unworkable by rain and More
rain. Scores have already resigned.
themselves to the fact there will be no
spring crop this year. The situation in
many districts has been worsened by
heavy frosts.
Some say that the situation is near-
ly as bad as it was in 1943, one of the
poorest crop years on record. One far-
mer said; "it's so bad you can't even
go out and dig post holes," On many
Farms, seeding of spring grains at this
date is now ""out of the question." The
time is even getting short for corn,. but
there is still time for certain varieties
of short-seeson hybrid corn and other
cash crops such as white beans and soy
beans, Buckwheat will also be alright if
seed is obtainable,
Dr. Ripley concedes that records
show that the rainfall in the last three
months has been heavier than ever be-
fore, but he maintains the situation is
not as bleak as it looks. He recom-
mends sowing of barley and oats• even
as late as June 15, and says that late
sowing in other late years indicates it
is a good idea to maintain a large pro-
portion of -coarse grain 'acreages pre-
viously planned.
Dr, Ripley also warned that there is I
probably insufficient seed to sae; all
unplanted grain areas to buckwheat
and millet, and it is desirable to pro-
duce other grains if possible. With
earlier oats, such as Cartier, Alaska or
Ajax, and rust resistant oats such as
Vanguard, Erban or Beaver, he ad-
vises up to June 15, -

POSTWAR EUROPE
Britishers and North Americans will
dispute the assiduously planted Russian
legend of single-handed victory over
the Germans, but, if the nations dis-
agree over who won the war, they can
hardly disagree over who lost it — E-
urope,
On V-E-Day plus two years, hungry
Europe, from the Irish Sea to the Cas-
pian Sea, still writhes under warborn
tortures. Russia struggles with short-
ages 'of food and of goods the former
so great Russians even lifted American
relief shipments to starving Rumania
to feed their occupation force; th'e lat-
ter so urgent Moscow virtually des-
troyed the wartime alliance with its
demands for heavy reparations to aid
its reconstruction.
A weakened. Britain worries about
bankruptcy and "starvation" while it
watches its empire disintegrate, France
fighting off inflation, hangs queasily
between one crises and the next. Italy
and 'Austria, enemies turned friends,
wonder where they stand—the former •
dreading a peace treaty it vainly hoped
a Senate committee wouldn't pass; the
latter with Ito treaty at all. And ,dis-
membered Germany is as perplexing a
problem as ever; where 'before it had to
be beaten,^,now it has to be ruled,

RUSSIAN DEATH'
PENALTY ABOLISHED
A broadcast, heard by the Soviet
Monitor, said that the presidium of the
Supreme .Soviet has abolished capital
punishment in Russia and sttbstituted
25 years sentences in labor camps for
the death penalty. The decree applies
to all crimes which heretofore have
been punishable by death tinder Rus,
sian law,
Apparently the decree applies not
only to crimes of violence, ;but also to
political offences. Political offenders
frequently have been punished by ex-
ecution in Soviet Russia and the purges
of groups of persons in the ,goVern-
ment or army employ were carried out
only after trial and conviction.

UNEMPLOYMENT RISE
FORECASTS DEPRESSION
In a report issued to all CIO unions,
the Greater New York CIO Council
announced that as unemployment con-
tinues to rise, "All signs point clearly
to a serious economic crack-up." The
number of unemployed in New York'
rose from 300,000 on March 21 to more
than 450,000 on May 21,
Substantial unemployment was re-
ported by CIO unions in production of
furniture, wearing apparel, shoes and
slippers, radios and other electronic de-
vices, household and electrical applian-
ces, cosmetics , and waterproofing, and
warehouses and the distribution field.
The International Ladies Garment
Worker's Union listed about 50,000
members unemployed and Building
trades was the next highest group,
with 25,000 out of work.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Tungsten, the metal that is used for
light bulb filaments, has been made in-
to a wire that is so thin that a pound of
it would' stretch in a single strand . 950
miles. The wire is 0.00018 inch in di-
ameter, and was produced by the West
inghonse Lamp Division for use in an
amplifying tube for the Bell Labora-
tories. One thousand feet of the thin
wire, reeled on a bobbin, is invisible to
the naked eye, and a 20-layer stack of
the wire is about 'the thickness of a
sheet of this paper. * * *
WEEKLY THOUGHT
Here is a game to play at dinner to-
day. Starting with father and going
clockwise around the table, have each
member name a country or province
where one article of food on the table
originated. Continue the game • any
number of rotations around the table
until, like a spelling-bee, only the win 7,
ner is left. An extra piece of pie or
some other prize should go to the win-
ner. (Note- each ingredient in a food
counts, like sugar and spices in cakes;
wheat, flour and salt, etc., in bread.)

KNOW WINGHAM
Wingham is noted for its really ex-
cellent "Bowling Green". The well-
kept "Greens" have a pretty, central
location, at the corner of Alfred and
Minnie streets, which is a well-patron-
ized recreational-centre during the
summer and fall months. The Wing-
ham Bowling Club is a credit to Wing-
ham and its 'club house a popular meet-
ing-place.
