On arrival at the field, Which was completely fenced in, we' were amazed to find that spectators, three deeli, had already taken up plates around the whole of the field. As is traditional with World Matches, the ontest started with he firing- of a red rocket. The first day was stubble plow- ing and ,on opening the split all competitore, except six et the high side of the field found the ground to be sticky. They had difficulty keeping mould boards clean. Bob Timbers had to: stop every few yards and clean off • his mould board; however, he finished well in rny score and,made the fastest fin- ish in the field. He was a close second, to Hugh Barr of Northern Ireland on total score. But INfickey Demman, did not fare quite so well at the start. Because of soil stick- ing he Was a little off but on the whole he was among the top ten. All scores in the stubble contest, with the exception of Hugh and Bob, were yery low: ' All teains had finished • before the rocket was fired to., announce the end of the first day. The boys seemed a little tired but the only thing they mentioned was the hope that they would draw better, sdil the next day for the grassend plowing.

Charles McInnis, president of the Ontario Hog Prodticr' Co-opera- tive; revealed to a special meeting of the Co-oerative executive last week that a letter had been receiY- ea by the Co-operative front W. Metyniuk, president of the Dom- estic Packers and Processors As- sociation O,f Canada outlining that organization's stahd On the Coop - °relives lnarketing neethds.

Recently, a group of Janior Farmers asked Angus -Moffatt, Hochwood farmer, whether his bush Is a paying part of his farm. Mr, Moffatt, •according to W. E. Steele, Huron District Reforesta- tion Supervisor of the Department of Lands and Forests, told them that 20 years ago the bush was so operi on his farm 'one could stand at the house and4count the cows in its 25 acres. ,After it was fend- ed, a fine new staiid of young trees developed which will possibly be better than the old ones. From this 255 -acre bush, Mr, Moffatt makes 125 to 225 gallons of syrup worth $5 a. gallon; he mile about $100 worth of hardwood fuel as well as supplying his household needs. Although he usually sells 2,000 to 3,00Q feet of good logs each year, last year on the advice of the Zone Forester, he took a heav- ier cutting •which amounted to about 211,Q00 F.B.M. In the skid way these logs were worth $90 per thousand feet for the best tyre- thirdi and $60 for .the reste .0f course, 'there are, expenses to charge against the income receiv- ed, but still Mr. Moffatt is pleased with his bush. s, Does it pay? "1 just wish thp whole farm was In good hardwood bush," said Mr. ,Moffatt.. The Council, in a meeting with a committee of the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers' Co-operative last month, indicated that they were dissatis- fied with the co-operative's present marketing methods. "In' view of our many difficul- ties in the past to establish a, truly open -market in Ontario," Charles McInnis, said, "this statement from the. -Domestic Packers is uni- que and tremendously encouraging. With a demand on hand from over half of our counties in Ontario, that we launch Open -market cam- paigns in their areas, and now a public statement from the domes- tic packers raising and accepting our open -marketing methods, there is reason to believe that we have about passed the hump in out six- teen -year long struggle to get hogs onto the open -market and to have them sold, by experienced sales- men to the meat processor paying the highest price," if you have writteit your local Member lately, your letter found its way to the new alu- mnum rnaii box recently intall- ed in the Pullen/lnt Buildings, Ottawa, With their attractively bevelled and sanded doorsAhese lock boxes loOk handsomely at home in the vaulted corridors of the Centre Block.
