HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1941-11-27, Page 2PAGE TWO Crdp Conditions in Ontario— The weather during October and the first half of November has been exceptionally mild, and damage to crops by late frosts this season was practically nil. Precipitation has been heavy since the beginning of October. The rainfall was extreme- ly beneficial in replenishing wells and creeks which were very low in Old Ontario after the prolonged dry spell during thr summer months, and in providing moisture for ploughing, although in some areas excessive rainfall delayed ploughing and inter- fered with the harvesting of Crops. Pastures and tall wheat made ex- cellent growth as a result of the plentiful supply of moisture. The October production nt butter and . cheese in Ontario was practically the sante as a year ago. The splen- did pastures, which permitted the grazing of cattle much later than usual. have also proved extremely valuable in conserving, to some ex- tent, the short supplies of hay and grain harvested in thr Province this year. The acreage planted to fall wheat shOws a 13 per Bent increase over last year, and the increase would have been greater had it not been so dry in some areas during the early part of the planting sea- son, and if labor had been more plentiful. The crop is now reported above average in condition and will go into the winter with favorable prospects. Owing to th o lark of nlotst.ure iu September carne wheat fields were p.itelhy and uneven, but the open fall and resent heavy rain- fall have benefited these ti„}ds greats Ly. and they have thickened up well. Even fields ,(,ledextremely late' in lair c;.ndiiion, while its scone ,rase" the growth on earl; seeded fields has t,• n sa heavy that :earl -in en, arta- et', are pasturing the trent. Production of Field Crops --- Estimates of the production of many ;end snips in Ontario for 17141 arc somewhat lower than in 1040. Total grain harvested is placed at 155.7:11.000 bushels this year as against 174.*x0.000 bushels last year. Turnips and tnangolds ,b eIiai- -d from 43.056,000 bushels to ;Mi - 1 8.31,000 h, -l331,000 bushels. Corn for ensilage showed an increase front 3,112,000 ton; to :3,341,0.00 tons, but hay and Mover erops dropped rfo,v ,;,Si1t3,000 tons to 3.:335:,000 tons. The decrease in productionof feedstuffs this sea - n0.1 is partir Cribra• .serious because 0f the .trr•t being made by the farming industry to in reasc the output of dairy product.. fin t-. and o m, t tit ..xn ttjeling e+urn i,• sport d, tram 2 >t• f,. +d. roars, The are „t Mrs,' quantities of .;rain for s itplette•utar: t e d;l:g .Cueing the summer on account of poor pas- tures considerably reduced supplies available for winter requirements. Reports furnished by the Agricultur- al Representatives covering the feed situation in each county indicate clearly that heavy purchases of Western feed grain will he neces- sary and that hay and fodder sup- plies will have to be fed sparingly.

Face These Tracts” Made reference 10 Wingham. First let us explain that this advert.- isement is trying to persuade Tees - water voter's to vote for tt bevetaage room in that village. It part this t'tie'le say: ”Tot.swIttrr is being filet white flannerilly; its e•ontpeti- 1 15 derive benefit.

McQUIEBTIM itakriter of RJ r WM ¢v hen driving along our highways give our Soldier boys a ride. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1941 for Wingham has many bootleggers --there- are thirty of then whose names were known a year ago—ane} Blyth, a wet village, is only a few utiles further on, and the "Wingham habit" has become very strong. Wingham, too, is going wet in the near future. When that happens Good-bye Dry Teeswater with a hotel! That man who spends $800 Per year in Wingham declares that his inclinations at'e - toward Tees, water; but he says "if this. town won't let tete have a glass of beer when I want it, why should I spend Imy money here' Multiply that fact by five hundred More facts of the same kind, add the psychology of crowds and mass movements and you have the root of the trouble." As we said this is only part of the .advertisement, that part about Winghan. We quote only that part as we do not intend to write about beverage rooms in Teeswater or dis- cuss it except for these distorted sm called facts. The article :ays Wings ham has thirty boutletsgei1' Before - now much -his ben said asst- this•iect, but i'r'otn information we can gather this 11500' is greatly exaggerated. 'Prue, We have some places whore a lifter Can be purchased, but not thirty trot' not malty, twiny time's less than thirty. Our town here is a very fin, and (decent place to live and shop. The above w•ouidd make one surmise that we were a drunken lot, This is not so. The article says that Wingham is going wet. in til near future. This is news to the people of Wingham as no effort is being made at present to have a vote. This is a method to try and scare people into voting as the article would wish them • to. 'Phe article says that a man who k 'Tees - water minded spends S800 a year in Winghatn and that this 1 Mount is 500 times greater. They infer that Wingham :et the 6u:ine•<, ha'ttisc Teeswater is dry.
