A New Power Scheme Eeverywhere are signs Of approach- ing renaissance in industry which is to .boost Huron into a premier posi- tion among the counties of Ontario. A new power scheme, promising to revolutionize industrial and agricul- tural conditions, is the secret of their high hopes. A long series of negotia- tions between the Goderich council and the hydro electric resulted in an agreement affecting all Huron .caun- ty. It provides for the damming of the Maitland River and the generat- ing of 'power at this paint. At present Sea:forth is using hydro and Clinton and Goderich are getting ready to .use it, which !brings the contracts up to 1200 horsepower, and the commission is prepared to begin operations on the Maitland River. Plans for .the new en- terprise have been drawn up and specification's .macle. The river will be dammed back for an 80400t head and a constant supply of power guar- anteed. Estimates place the cost of the plant at over %imam After having slaved all his life to leee.p his head and his wife's head above water, a poor man hit upon an invention, patented it an.d sold it for a lenge SUM.

In Western Ontario practically all grains are now harvested except late oats, while in Central .Ontario about 75% of the grain is out and in Eastern On- tario the bar tario-about 50%. In Northern Ontario the harvest is well un.der way. Stook threshing proceeded rapidly up to Au- gust 1st, but was interrnpted by fre- quent and heavy rains during the first two weeks oS August, The average yield of fall wheat for the entire province is now estimated at 37 'bushels per acre, as compared with 26 'bushels in 1937, and a preced- ing 45 -year average of 25.1 .bushels. The harvested aoreage of 742,1062 acres is the highest since 19217, and compares with 7118,51113 acres last year. Total production will amount to ap- proximately 20,0316,000 bushels, which is the largest crop since 1926. In East- ern, Western and Central Ontario the yield per acre was reduced and the quality considerably lowered by leaf anti stem rust. In each of these three sections, the yield was about three bushels per acre less than in 1937, but in Southern Ontario, which comprises the two rows of counties bordering Lake Erie and where hall the acreage is located, the yield was almost five bushels higher than a year ago and this more than offset the decline in other sections, Heat and rust reduced the crop most severely in the counties of Grey, Bruce, Huron, Wellington and Perth. Spring grains have matured early this season and reports indicate that the yield per acre will generally range from average to slightly above aver- age in practically all countiaes. Har- vesting is about a week earlier than usual. Damage was caused by the most severe outbreak of army worm in the last fifty years, but for the province as a whole the loss would probably not exceed 3%. Individual fields, however, suffered 1110% to 1151% injury, and in a few cases much 'great- er. Severe rainstorms resulted in con- siderable lodging in some parts, mak- ing cutting difficult, but the loss is not serious, while in Eastern Ontario grasshoppers caused rather severe da- mage in several localized areas. Rust is affecting the grain crop in Eastern Ontario, but the yield is expected to be a :good average and considerebly above the poor yields of 10317. Precipitation was sufficient for de- veloping crops during July throughout most of the province. Heavy rains fell in early August, lodging standing crops over large areas. The rainfall has been ,beneficial for the growth of late crops and prospects for these craps, which include corn, late pota- toes, buckwheat, sugar beets and turnips, are .considered quite favoura- ble. Pastures are also showing im- provement in all sections, and as a result livestock are in good condition CARD OF THANKS Dr. E. A. MolVaster and' daughters desire to express their deep appreci- ation and gratefully acknowledge the kindness and sympathy' extended to them in their recent bereavement. We also want to take this oPportanity of publicly thanking the superintendent, staff and special nurses for their especial •kindness during the .recent weeks. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Rogerson wish to express their appreciation a the kindness received from their friends and neighbors ,When their barn was badly damaged by the recent storm, and for the help so generously given at this time. CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Mrs, William Grummett wish to thank their friends and neighbors for their many kind nesses during their 'bereavement.

There was a !good attendance of the members and several .visitors. The meeting was opened by all join- ing in singing the Ode and a couple of selections from the song sheet. Mrs. Wm. Bell gave the Bible read- ing and: the poem "Optimism" was read by Miss Laura Dinnen. Mrs. Wm. McLean gave a very good paper on the motto 'Tet us fit ourselves day by day to play the part of demo- cratic ,citizens." The president called the roH, which was well responded to by "A good habit my parents always insisted upon." Miss A. Dinnen gave a health talk on the subject of sun- stroke. The president introduced the guest speaker, Mr, G. Hays, of Sea - forth, who gave a splendid talk on the subject of "Wills." Misses Laura and lArilma Dinnen Savored with a couple of songs with guitar accomp- animent. Mrs. W(111. Caldwell gave a short story of the farm, Mrs. Cole continued her ,buyman.ship talks with methods of manufacturing fabrics into cloth. Miss M. McKay explained the method she uses for making cot- tage cheese and passed around a sample. Mrs. F. Kenny .played sev- eral selectioni on the violin and sang several songs with guitar a.ccompani- anent. Then with a vote of thanles to Mrs. Caldwell and those who took part in the program, and the singing of the national anthem, the meeting came to a close. The hostess served a delicious lunch and a social time was spent. The next meeting in Sep- tember will be at the home of Mrs. Traquair. Prices of darm products have de- clined recently and are now generally below the level of a year ago. In the case of grain crops the decrease from last August is very considerable and is .due to larger world crops. In On- tario farm income is largely deter- mined by the prices of secondary commodities such as cattle, hogs, 'but- ter, eggs, etc., all of which are down in price.
