A. Carroll, general manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association following a ,meeting ofthe executive. I A Large organization of commit- tees has been working out details of the match elute last fall and prepar- ations for the event had been in progress for two years. The match was to have been held Oct, 13 to 16 on the farm of W. L. Whyte and ad- joining farms in Hullett township. Considerable preparations had been made in anticipation of the big event, such as road grading and work on the site. Decision to postpone the match was reported to have been made in an effort to oo-operate with the Do- minion government in the conserva- tion of gasoline, tires and man hours, There has been an undercurrent of opposition to holding the big plow- ing match in war time, but it had the wholehearted support of county and municipal bodies and grants had been made towards it. Gordon MoGavin, Walton, is pres- ident of the Ontario Plowmen's Asso- ciation this year.. Hope was express- ed by the board that when matches are renewed the first will be held in Huron county. A meeting of the - Huron county International Plowing match organ- isation was held at Clinton •on. Tues- day night with Chairman J. D. Tho- mas, of Goderieh, presiding. A reso lution of appreciation to Mr. W. L. l Whyte and his neighbors was passed. An audit of the committee finances will be made and grants and dona- tions from mumci alities and indiv- iduals will be refunded and then the committee will disband. *'blue coal'.,.

SALVAGE BLJLLETIN West Side SalvageCollection Tuesday, August 4th Salvage will be collectedfrom the West Side of Seaforth on Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, ' starting at 3.30 p.m. Every home west of Main street, and north of . the railway tracks will be called on, also the places of business on both sides of Main street. In case of bad weather the collection will be held on Thurs- day, Aug. 6th. Summer is a grand time to clean up outside and youwill be surprised at the salvage articles you will find. Old lawn mowers, old water . pipes,. old stove and furnace grates, and even old stoves. The garage will yield an old tire, and, perhaps one or two old car batteries; you will find a pile of old overalls and other rags in the corner. It's easy to find a pile of oldbooks that you want to see the last of; and don't forget that any rummage article you send in will be re -sold and the money, to- gether with that received from salv- age, is all donated to needy War charities. Many farmers, busy as they are these days, are helping the cause along by bringing in some salvage when they come to town. While your committee hopes to arrange for rural collections again in the Fall, your co-operation in bringing in as much salvage as you can when you come to town is helping to keep the sup- ply of salvage flowing into much- needed war material Now—and NOW is the time it is needed. You may leave your bundles at the front door of salvageheadquarters or the key may be secured at the Tasty Grill across the road. • of August.

Melady, fourth concession of Hibbert townshi , n F night when the entire hay crop and some livestock were lost. 1 The fire spread rapidly, believed to have started from spontaneous com- bustion, and efforts of the neighbors who formed a bucket brigade were of little avail as the barn burned rapidly. Twenty hogs and two calves were lost in the fire. Six hogs escap- ed from the blazing barn when the doors burned off. Neighbors succeeded in saving the chicken house, only 100 feet away from the barn, and the 600 chickens t housed were unharmed. The loss was partly covered by in- surance, ,Heavy Crops Reported in District Hay and Grain Crops Have Good Yield—Heavy Straw Growth With wheat cutting finished and harvesting . other grains started, farmers throughout the district re- port the crops this year about the heaviest within memory. One farmer stated this week that his barn was entirely; filled with the hay crop and he had no room Indoors whatever for grain. Some who have threshed report a yield of about forty bushels to the acre of wheat. It is generally agreed that the grain yield is not quite as heavy as might be supposed from the quantity of straw.
