Six- `•teen'tables were in play, and. the com- petition was lively. A, silver' collection was taken to go toward the fund for 'furnishings 'for the Legion Memorial HaII. Price ceilings for,. Canadian -made farm machinery have been increased 1214 per cent. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board said a survey had shown that, with swing over from war production, unavoidable cost increases had risen which no longer could be met without an upward. revision in the retail price. Officials said the companies had done their.' best to 'matritan production of the greatest possible quantity and variety of farm equipment. The in- crease should mean that., the supply of vitally, needed farm implements would be produced "to .the maximum that materials and 'labor :supplies permit." The price increase will be less than half that requested by the industry. The . board's announcement said the new price should be competitive with prices for similar products imported from the Unted States, which Have been free of war exchange, tax and customs duties since July 1, 1944. Following are the general cate- gories of machines aflected by the order: Planting, seeding and fertiliz- ing machinery;, plows; tillage imple- ments and 'cultivators; haying machinery;- harvesting machinery; machines forpreparing crops for market or use; farm .power machin- ery; farm wagons, trucks and sleighs; dairy machines and'' equip« ment; spraying equipment- and dust- ers; domestic water „Systems and pumps; barn and barnyard equipment and miscellaneous equipment. elewnw►Mlee ri ee WOOL Let me handle your lot I 'have a man who will clip your shams FRED MULHOLLAND Collector for WILLIAM STONE SONS, LIMITED Ingersoll, Ontario Will -supply sacks for the wool. 13-14-15-16-b 53,900.00 IN CASII PRIZES NATIONAL BARLEY CONTEST for Seed and ,Malting Quality .improvement This year grow prize-winning barley.

The fleece may 'b.elaid on a. clean pl'aee,' fresh side Sown, the hairy clippings. from legs and face, also Chaffy seeding and burry portions removed previous, to rolling and ty= ing., In preparing the fleece for tying, turn one third of the fleece over the top onto the second third, and then turn once 'again, placing the two- thirds on tap of the last third or farther side of- the fleece, When this has' been done, then roll from both, ends to the centre and tie with paper twine. Never use binder twine or hemp. This • practice, although diminishing is still altogether too common. The twine fibres tend to become detached from the string and mingled with the wool fibres, being overlooked on the sorting table be- cause they are too inconspicuous. When the wool is made into cloth and dyed, the twine fibres show up as light streaks. It is preferable to leave the fleece untied rather than to use Binder twine, if top prices are to be realized for high quality wool. Paper twine and sacks are available at the Agricultural Office, Clinton. - There are several different grades of wool, which I need not go into detail now, other than to mention, seedy and chaffy wool. Wool in this category is characterized by the presence of seeds, chaff, and bits of straw and hay in the fleece, par- ticularly in the shoulder; neck and back portions. The accumulation of this vegetable matter can largely be prevented by proper management. 1. The Feeding of Dry Fodder 'in Winter: Hay or straw should never be. thrown 'down on the backs of sheep at feeding time, nor should it be carried in forkfuls over the sheep when being placed in racks, pens or' yards. 2. The Use of Proper Type of Feed Racks: The V-shaped rack should be used, so constructed so that the top is 'tightly boarded to keep chaff . or seeds from falling down over the. backs or shoulders. The bottom, section should be slatted with slats placed close enough together so that sheep cannot get their heads through into the main part of the rack. The common practice of allowing sheep to feed around hay and straw stacks should be discontinued. • If necessary to feed from outside stacks. they should be fenced so that this feed can be fed either in racks or on the ground. The care of the wool after shearing, as previously men- tioned, has an important bearing on what grade the wool will be placed. Warble Fly Spraying The second spray for warble flies in Goderich Township has commenc- ed and any farmers outside this town- ship wishing to have their ' cattle sprayed should' contact the Depart- ment of Agriculture as soon as possible, Junior Club Work In connection, with Junior Club work, it is almost time now to or- ganize the various calf and swine clubs in the county. It is almost impossible for me to personally call on all prospective club. members be- fore the organization meetings.' In that light, then I would ask the full- est co-operation of the committees of the sponsoring organizations in lining up club. members. Beef calf clubs are being sponsored in the following com- munities, Lucknow, Blyth, Dungan- non, Morris Township, and Grey Township, with dairy calf culbs in Grey Township and Clinton district, including' Goderich and Bayfield com- munities. Swine ' cluibs' are being sponsored at Bayfield and Exeter. • Any interested farm girl or boy, twelve years of age by May 1, and not twenty-one by 'November, 1, 1946, is eligible td join and should: if they have .not already done so, send their names and addresses to the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Clinton, br' committees in charge,of a curb imr your particular community, by April 20, so that organization •of these clubs may' take 'place' as soon after- wards as possible.

This fertilizer is applied at 150 lbs., per acre or one bag to • each two-thirds of an acre.
