GR'EIG, ' Seeretary-Treasurer and Fieldamn) Seek Double Levy The Directors of Humin County Federation of Agriculture held their monthly meeting in the Agricultural Board Room, Clin- ton, on Feb. 21 with a large at- tendance present. There was a very lively discus- sion on the proposal to raise the Federation levy on all farm prop- erty from 1/5 to 2/5 of a mill. . There wha also some discussion on raising it to 1/2 mill on all property assessed as farm prop- erty. The-Dieectore finally agreed that the levy should be 2/5 of a mill on all farm property and to be levied uniformly in .all town- ships in the County of Huron. There was a notice of motion to be presented at tl-le annual . meeting of the County Federa- tion next fell, that 25 per cent of the money collected by the 2/5 mill levy be returned to the Township Federation to cover their expenses. Plan Field -Day The annual Field Day of Hur- on Federation of Agriculture will be held in Godelich. on June 14, The Federation again will pub- lish a Year Book in conjunction With the Field Day. Poultry Producers A movement is now under way to satte up. a Poultry Producers' Association. There is a meeting called for March 15 at• the King Edward Hotel, Toronto. The purpose of this meeting is to establish e Poultry Producers' Association and to consider a scheme under the Farm Produce Morketing Act. Also to study t plans whereby we can work with t similar associations in other provinces, so we may set up marketing machinery that will enable us to handle the gale of eggs and poultry products in an orderly meaner. Lively Meeting The Co-operative Auto Insur- ance held its annual meeting in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, oe Feb. 24 and 25. A delegation from Huron County attended and reported a very lively meeting. Butter Price Dropping The clamor for the cut in the price of farm produce is with us again. Hardly has the egg and bacon situation returned to some- thing resembling stability when we hear the rumbling of more trouble for the farmer. Butter is to drop fromfive cents to six cents per pound around the first of April. In other industries the drop in price follows a cut back in the cost of production. In the auto industry you find a reduction n w. the price of necars only when production has increased suffic- iently to pay cost of materials, labour involved, depreciation and a definite profit forthe comp- any assured. Then and only then do you find the price of your new car being lowered. What do we find in the case of the butter producer? Roughage is in short supply; grain is still over $3 per hundred for a suit- able dairy ration for milking cows: labour remains at lie same as last year; upkeep of buildings and equipment is as high or high- er lean before, so the cost of producing a pound of butter is as much if not more. than last year Despite all this we are asked o take a reduction of from five o six cents per pound on butter- fat. This plainly is a cut in wages Help The Red Cross i`SALADA TEA' ROBERT W. (BOB) COLE R. R. No. 3, Clinton, Ontario PIONEER SAWS , invites your inspection of THE PIONEER.

(100% owned and operated by employees) Vancouver, B.C. 7-8-9-10-11-b WINGHAM PLANS ARTIFICIAL ICE VOTE SHORTLY The question of artificial ice for Wingham arena shortly will. be submitted to the ratepayers in the form of a bylaw. Ratepayers will be asked to give approval to ' the issue of a $20,000 ' debenture by the town council for the project. The bal- ance of $20,000 Will be borne by Wingham*service clubs and pub- lic subscription. It is expected a further by- law relative to the issuing of a debenture to clear up overdraft will be submitted at the same time. Recently a chamber of comm- erce committee, headed by Pres- ident, W. T, Cruickshank, met with council to discuss the artif- iciel ice question. Having visited several rinks where ice machin- ery was installed or in the offing, the committee was highly in favor of 'the project for this year. During the past three winters, receipts for 54 day's use at the arena amounted to $3,153. Artifi- cial ice would be available for 125 days. Estimated tort for a year's operation is $$6,440 against $2,502 average of the past three years. With ice plants at Walk- erton, Kincardine, Seaforth, God- erich, already installed or about to be installed, Wingham Chamb- er of Commerce feet some action should be taken to encourage sport to ensure that ice will be available during mild winter weather. `to the' farmer and his family. This in turn will be passed on to other branches in industry. Farm people are good spenders but when the farmer's wife finds the cream cheque is a couple of dollars short she will simply buy less. This in turn will reflect on the merchants who in turn will pass it on to their employees by cutting wages or laying off some of the staff. Yes, the farmer is taking the first cut hack but you can be certain that it is going to be pa sed on to you very shortly. Enjoy it while you may. Would it not be better to buy buttex at 58 cents a pound and have an income than to buy margarine at ? and depend on your unemployment insurance cheque to pay for it? Hire Help Now Huron County Federation of Agriculture reminds all farmers that now is the time to be hiring your additional help for the spring and summer work. You will get the hired hand accustomed to his job before the spring rush comes. Contact your National Employ- ment Service office and give them details of your requirements. If they have no one available that would be satisfactory to you, they will contact other Employment offices and if possible give you exactly the man you require. If you delay making applica- tion for help until later you may find it difficult to get a suitable employee. As help becomes scarce wages go up so if you delay hir- ing your help until later you may find you will have to pay higher wages. When making application in writing to your Employment of- fice be certain you give details of work to he done, wages offer- ed, living accommodation avail- able and personal specifications such as non-smoker, nationality or religious preference. We urge farmers to take full advantage of this Employment service that. the Government has set up to assist both employer and employee. o ---- Biggest hotel in the world? New York's Waldorf-Astoria.
