During the past few weeks there has been considerable evi- dence•that misunderstanding exists in many parts of western Ontario re- garding farm machinery purchases.

For alleys and feed rooms, wooden floors are satis- factory. Breeding ewes require 12 to 16 square feet of floor space and young stock five to eight square feet. V Nearly 250 members of the Canad- ian Army have won decorations in operations since the war began. Present is Good Time to Clean All Seed Grain A recent seed survey for the Pro- vince of Ontario reveals that there are .definite- shortages of seed oats and barley: for next year's use says J. D. McLeod, Director of the crops, seeds and Weeds Branoh of the On- tario Department of Agriculture, These shortages are due to unfavour- able weather at the normal time for !seeding last spring, followed by rust , damage later in the season. The survey has also revealed, how- ever,' that there are considerable quan- tities of seed from the 1942 crop which , are still in the hands of farmers and also scattered areas throughout the province where yields from the -1943 crop will make suitable seed. Large quantities of grain are re- quired for increased numbers of live- stock on our farms and, unless prov- ision is made at an earlydate, to save all available suitable .seed for next year, it is possible that such grain of excellent quality may be us- ed as feed. Throughout the province there are more than one hundred seed -cleaning plants conveniently located ,and pre.. pared to give prompt service- with their modern equpiment for scouring, cleaning, grading and separating seeds. Advantage of services which these plants 'offer should be taken at once by those who have seed grain, of suitable quality. At this time of year most seed; cleaning plants usually experience a slack period. Therefore, now is MI - excellent time to get seed cleaned suet snake arrangements for your next sea- son's seed supply. All grain suitable for seed should be made available with out delay. - V FOOD PARCELS REACHING OE JECTIVES Mrs. IL P.

Not only for good subject matter, but also for conditiede that make picture taking easy. What are the particular advan'- tages of beaches and -pools for 'the - p ettnre taker? Thi, ,first there's plenty of light. Brilliant light that simplifies most of yattt exposure p1}oblems. Second, there's a lot of rbilected illumination whim;' bright- ens up• the shadows. And' fl$hl)y, there's a great mass of available subjects—ranging from informal' portraits to the most spectacular forms of action. For example, for a beach scenic, with ordinary snapshot film, 1/25 second at f/22 is ample exposure on a sunny day. For people and near. subjects, like our illustration, 1/25 at 1/16 is plenty, while action shots can be made at 1/200 second at !16.6 or 1/800 at 1/3.5 with perfect safety. smaller lens openings could be used, say 1/8 and 1/0.3. The principal thing you'll really have to guard against at the beach Is overexposure. So for that reason It's good judgment to invest in ten .cent outdoor pocket exposure guide. Theguide will provide you with cor- rect exposure information for alt .outdoor picture taking, and at the beach or anywhere it will help you .get better pictures whether the sun As shining or the sky is overcast. However, here's one point you'll 'do well to observe. Remember that sand is gritty, and the sun is trot, and neither is good for your camera. So when you're at the beach keep your camera in its case when you aren't using it—and don't leave ft to broil in tithe midday sun. When you aren't using it, put it in a shady spot. But by all means take your camera the next time you go to the beach or swimming pool. You'll end splen- did pictures there, and they'll make topnotch additions toyour snapshot With extra -fast panchromatic Hlin, album, John van Guilder
