The directors named the 'committee as follows: William Alexander, oe HensalI, Angus McLean, of Wards- ville; William Cornell of Melbourne; Russell' L. Glendenning, of Blenheim; George S. Harry, of Dover, and D. M. Campbell of Harwich. The Department of Agriculture has intimated that it is desirous of obtaining statistics in connection with the marketing of the beans and the. directors offered to give their as- sistance in this connection. v-•-_ 200,000,000 Bushels of Grain Needed for Ontario This Year Ontario farmers are being asked to produce 200,000,000 bushels of feed' grain on their farms during this 'year 1944, says John D. McLeod Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. This will be essential, be points out, in order to maintain the maximum production of food for the armed forces, for our . allies and for the 'hard-working people at home. Indications from Western Canada at the present time are that owing, to. lack of moisture the 1944, grain crops will, be below average. In view of t1is western situation and the fact :that there is no great grain reserve in the Province, Ontario farmers are asked, to plan for an increased production, particularly of oats, barley and mix- ed grain, in order that there may be ample food for all requirements. The 1944 objective of 200,000,000 bushels of grain can be obtained says., Mr. McLeod, not necessarily by sow- ing more acres but by producing more per acre. This objective can be reached by producing one and a half bushels more per acre in 1944 than was produced in 1942. This is possible providing weather conditions are favourable by the adoption of proven soil management methods, by sowing clean, well graded seed of suitable Varieties and by treatment of the seed for smut- and ether seed -borne 1 PAGE 3 frAPER 20,®DOTasOF `PASTE EWRY,l90NTN A plentiful supply of high quality e ani substantial profit seed is available and every bushel of iduring the ,years of. the depression, n, at a :time. such seed must be put to work.
