A. C. Cattle Sale The annual auction sale of pure- bred cattle,, sheep and swine at 0. A.C., will be held on Thursday, Oct. 23rd, 1930. This event has always :attracted widespread intefest a- mong cattle breeders and farmers generally and a large attendance a- gain this year is anticipated.' Big Plowing Match Widespread interest • is ,being evinced in the International' Plow- ing Match and Farm Machinery Demonstration which will be held October 14, 15, 16 and 17, on King's Highway No. 7, near the 'city. of Stratford.• This year's match prom- isesto set a new record for num- ber of entries, contests and enthu- siasm. The Bean 'Yield Reports from the bean growing sections of Ontario give the actual bean yields as somewhat higher than was first estimated. About 67,- 000 acres of beans were grown in Ontario this year, an increase of 30 per cent. over 1929. Yields how- ever, have been severely cut by the long spells of dry hot weather and the totalyield will not be larger than in 1929, The Ontario bean •erop has a yearly value of well over two mil- lion dollars. Michigan reports a bean yield of 12 per cent. below last year inspite of a 20 per cent. in- crease in acreage. The crop for the United States is now estimated to be slightly below that of last year, and the yield will probably be the small- est since 1917. Appeal t14 Producers .Tn connection with the "Buy Ontario -grown Products" campaign which is being aggressively prose- cuted by the Government, an appeal is' trade to producers to help make the scheme successful by being even more careful than in the past about their offerings. The Department is recommending GRADED VEGETAB- LES and the producer has a.splendid opportunity to get this new business by offering graded products. The xadio talk given daily a noon from Station' °FRB, Toronto, is a service to housewives suggesting how high quality produce may be purchased and of course, Ontario -grown pro- ducts are being boosted. !Some of the large merchandising firms have definitely changed their policies and in their advertising are featur- ing ONTARIO GROWN farm pro- ducts. Consumers are turning more and more to Ontario produce and it only rests with the producer to give them what they want. That agriculture as a profession is appealing more and More to the women of Ontario every year is ev- idenced by the fact that there are five girls enrolled in the freshmen class at the O.A.C. this year. This Barnyard is Clean On a farm near Galt there is a barnyard that is always ,clean. The whole of the yard is paved with concrete, A scraper drawn by hor- ses makes cleaning easy. Those who have done such paving say. that the main requirement is a web drained site on which to lay the concrete. In many cases the first move is to tile the yard. The owner of the yard mentioned above says that it is a good investment because it means cleaner cows, cleaner stables, manure properly conserved and more per- sonal comfort and satisfaction. 'Those Old Engines Did you ever wonder what becomes of all the old steam traction engines when they die? If they're . good, they go to Norfolk County and there they stand outside tobacco kilns and pump in steam to cure the bright leaf. Manyhave been seen at work during the past month'doing just this thing and proving conclusively that there is always some way to use ev- en the most apparently outworn ag- ricultural implen?ent. New Interest in Sheep Raising Marked success is attending the Department's effort to stimulate a greater interest in sheep -raising 'by the establishment of Sheep • Clubs throughout the province. A mem- bership of ten is required before. ap- plication can be made . to start a' Sheep Club. The members must be under thirty years of age and re- side on farms where sheep are not now kept and where the accommoda- tion for successfully raising sheep is satisfactory. Each member will be supplied with five ewe lambs by the Department and with a purebred ram for a period of two years. The first year one lamb must be returned to the Ontario Livestock Branch and during eaoh of the 'next succeeding three years two lambs until a total of seven lambshave been retnrned.i Each member must care for his flock in accordance with regulations laid down by .the Livestock Branch and. must dip his flock for external para- sites at least oncea year.. A consid- erable number of clubs are already in operation and other applications are being received from time to time. Prepare For 1932 Show The Ontario Department is taking time by the forelock as it were,' inso- far as malting perparations for the World's Grain Exhibition and Co 1- ference of 1932 is concerned. Far- mers are being urged by the Depart- rnent to keep this year's seed in the event of the- crop of next year not being up to the high standard of for- mer years. Fall fair judges have been instructed to ne on the watch for extra fine quality grain and seed. at this year's fall fairs and to send samples to the field husbandry branch at Guelph for examination. Officials of this department report that al- ready there has been ,.much interest evinced by growers, many of whom have announced their intention of preparing for the 1932 exhibition, Will Investigate, Markets •' W. B. Somerset of Burlington has been appointed by Hon. T..L. Ken- nedy, Minister of Agriculture, to delve into the question of marketing fruits and vegetables from the far- mer's staridpoint, a work that was started by Hon. Mr. Kennedy. "We are endeavoring to find new markets for Ontario's fruit and vegetables„" said Mr. Kennedy. "We are center- ing chiefly on Winnipeg and Mon- treal." Mr. Somerset, who is an ex- pert on advertising and marketing conditions, will Make recommenda- tions on the situation, supplementary to those already made by Hon. Mr. Kennedy. The Department isco-operating with agricultural authorities from all parts of the.province in an effort to solve the problem of excess cheap cattle feed now in the farmer's hands. "We are making ,an effort to find some way to assist the farmer in keeping cheap grain for feeding," de- clares Hon. Mr. Kennedy, "so that we will have they, farmers selling cattle next year." British Apple Market Andrew Fulton the Department fruit representative in Britain, writes that early shipments of attractive, well colored apples -will he in demand at fair prices until the middle of December. Such varieties as Weal- thy, Ribston, Baxter, King, Snow, Baldwin, etc,, should sell satisfactor- ily. The encouraging outlook for Ontario apples this season is based on the fact that the British embargo against the lower grades of American apples has reduced arrivals from°that country by over 50 per cent. compar- ed with a year ago. This restriction against the 'United States remains in force until November 15th. Mr. Ful- ton points out that really high values cannot be expected due to the low spending power of the public in Great Britain. I-lowever if the apples are packed well and every precaution is taken to have them arrive in good condition Ontario apples should find a ready sale on the British market in the next few months.

Our health and freedom from disease depend, in large measure, up- on what passes between our lips. wate • that .s pure mill that' pas - the body, In our own interests, we should be careful with regard to what goes in- to our mouths.

It is' obvious that the foods and fluids that the ,body requires for growth and repair, and to maintain the .en- ergy needed to keep the body func- tioning at its best, must pass through the gateway of the body. (Most of the germs of disease gain entrance into the body through this gateway. If the diseases which are caused by germs are to be prevented, then this gateway must be barred to "'them. Food, drink and the toqthbrush are the only things which should go into the mouth. Just as surely as we al- low fingers, pencils, or other articles to pass the lips, we invite trouble. Such articles may be soiled, and, as a result, there is a real danger that • Record Air Mail Tonange Shown Ottawa, 'October 6, (Special to The News -Record) -Record air -mail ton - ridge carried from Great Britain dur- ing the three months ending June 80, 1930 amounted to 29 long tons com- pared with 21 1-4 tons in the same period of 1929. During _the 1930 • 'quarter, 22,277 pounds of letter air mail was carried compared with 16,870 pounds for the same part of 1929, an increase a- mounting to 36 per cent. The Great- est amount o£ mail to any one coun- try was that dispatched to India and this amounted to 6,506 pounds in the recent June quarter compared with 4,937 pounds in 'the same quarter of the preceding year, an increase of 72 per cent, Since November, 1929, the air mail fees payable on letters to India have been reduced, and on June 2, 1980, a uniform combined rate covering air postage and ordin- ary fee (4d for the first ounce and 3d. for each subsequent ounce) was introduced for all European destina- tions. Bright Hued Cars are Less Popular Ottawa, October 6, (Special to The News -Record) -It would seen from a report received here that the day of bright hued, motor cars is passing. Manufacturers from all over the country voice the opinion that the public interested in buying a motor cars are turning to the more somber hues such a dark blues, black and dark greens. Each country seems to like its own particular shades the report further states. For instance in Canada black and the darker shades are favored, South Americans incline to the brighter shades in car colorings, while in Europe the darker tones are more in demand. The old days of painting a car with a brush and a pail full of paint are past and now manufacturers employ a staff of artists whose business it is to give their entire attention to color schemes and designs. One company is reported as employing it woman who is an interior decorator to exper- iment with the various colors and types of upholstering in order to ob- tain the most pleasing effects in in- teriors. s and handled in 'a cleanly 'manner. The gateway should be kept clean and, this means healthy. Clean food anddrink should pass into a clean mouth. The toothbrush should be us ed _Tegulariy, night and morning, and, if possible, after ' each Meal. The most important time for using the toothbrush is at night, and we should never go to bed without giving our teeth a very thorough cleaning.. ,A dirty mouth means a diseased mouth. It means that food 'and drink are being, mixed' with undesir- alble material and swallowed. Dis- ease in the mouth is very often re- sponsible for trouble in other parts of the body. If there are abnormal conditions present, such as diseased teeth or tonsils, they should be remedied. A regular •visit to the dentist is advis- ed because dental care will help to keep the Mouth healthy, and will p re- Vent the pain and expense of the dental treatment necessary when the teeth are neglected. Keep the gateway of the body clean. Open it only to food, drink and the toothbrush.- Close it tightly against those things which have no right to be in the mouth. Making the Demand Equal the. Supply In olden days like merchant who oftentimes was also a manu- facturer, went from house to house peddling his wares. Then times changed, and methods changed, and the itinerant merchant disap- peared. In his place came the merchant of today -the rnerclhant who is a purchasing agent for his community. As a purchasing agent the merchant buys as he believes the people in his community will buy from hint. -Sometimes This sales are many, at other times they are few. Always, however, his supply BM is equal to the demand. Bthe demand, unhappily, all too often falls very, very far below the supply, Which means poor business. Take your own case. You have, let us say, enough of the goods you handle to supply a goodly number of the people in Clinton who require these goods. Do they demand these goods in such great quantities as to make your supply inadequate? The odds are they don't. Still, you can't do as the merchant of old did and create a de- mand for your goods by peddling them from !house to house. So you take advantage of the very best means available and advertise in your local home newspaper. Valuable as this is there's still another selling force -rand that is the advertising of the manufactur- ers whose goods you want to sell to Clinton's buyers which should also appear in your local lronre newspaper. .And you can go far in getting this aid by talking about Clinton to the salesmen, through whom you buy your merchandise by in- oculating there with the thought that local demand can be created and directed chiefly through your local, home newspaper by making them see how necessary it is to your business welfare to have the advertising of their companies i nyour local, home newspaper, This newspaper has joined with the town newspapers all over the country in. a nation-wide campaign to convince national adver- tisers that they can best assist small town merchants by advertising in the local, home town newspapers of the email town merchants.
