In Huron County Although bumper crops of feedstuffs' for cattle and hogs were harvested in 1948 in most parts of °aerie, the feed situs, non as winter settles in is not quite as good as might have been hoped, it is shown in a November county -by -county survey made by the Ontario Department of Agri- culture. Drying up of pastures during an almost rainless Sep- tember led many femme to start stable feeding, much earlier than ill a normal year, and winter stocks in granaries and haylofts have, already had a 11 bite taken from them. In Huron County, the survey shows hay will be adequate for the winter in most neighborhoOde. although. considerable' winter sup- plies have been fed early. There are adequate supplies of silage corn, roots and grain.

BEEF CATTLE. UP 'FIVE TIMES 14 YEARS AGO How prices of -farm products have risen during the past l'4 years is illustrated by the On- tario Department of Agriculture's latest report on average crop prices in the province. Beef cattle, as might be ex- pectedshow the greatest advance, from $e76 to $20.26 perhundred- weight, a jump of better than 500 per cent. Horses, incidentally, are the only item on the department's list showing a decline frona 1934 prices. Horses last month were bringing only 91.35 per head, as compared with 84.23 in. October, 1934. Running a close second to cat- tle are calves, selling last month for $21.90 per hundredweight, as compared with $5.48 in 1934, And thet probably explains why calves' liver isn't as cheap as it used to be. Other crop prices, as shown by the department's report, have jumped as follows: . Eggs, 24.5 cents per dozen to 58.6; potatoes 68.2 cents to $1.65; butter, 20.6 cents to 69.4 cents; chickens, 13.2 cents per pound liveweight, to 51.1 cents; wheat, 62.7 cents to $2,08; oats, 30.4 cents par bushel to '79.8 cents; turnips, 28.9 cents per hundredweight to 90.2 cents; honey, 8.5 cents per pound to 25 cents; sheep, $2.62 per hund- redweight, liveweight, to $'7.55; lambs $5.16 per hundredweight to $19.18 -and so on. The governtnent's overall re- port on crop production In On- tario this year is that it has been "exceptionally good." lateeree r.*"." keViVere GOODAnfEitill ... .

Wing Cmdr, W. C.

This measure has been found necessary- since intenes heat of the exhaust from the jet ' engines melts asphalt surfaces during the initial, slow-moving run of the aircraft.

Van Camp, `and I say. active in the sense there is more flying being con- ducted at this unit then at any other airport in Canada, includ- ng civilian ones". 1OAC Judging Team 15th in 32 at Chicago competition with 31 United States le a keenly contested judging teems at the 29th International Livestock Show, Chicago, On - aria Agricultural College teem stood, 15th seventh in hogs; 16th in beef cattle; 18th in sheep; 20th in horses.
