Airman Drowned At Goderich Piper's Dam on the Maitland Rive a short distance east of Goderich, fo generations a favorite but treacher ons "swimming hole" for Goderich Youth, claimed still another life re cently when LAC. Robert Whitehead RAF, Port Albert, unknowingly walk ed into a deep hole and was carried to his death by the swift under- current. The drown ing was given an added touch of tragedy by the fact that the airman's young wife, not long out from England, with their live -months -old daughter, Mary Lou, stood on the bank of the river, help- less to do anything, and watched the husband and father disappear after crying frantically for help, If White- head could swim at all, it was only a few strokes and he had no chance against the swift cross -currents. Young boys were swimming in the river when the Whiteheads arrived and they had just left the water when the airman decided to go in. He wad- ed in and it was only a matter of minutes before he was in difficulties and began shouting for help. Boys who were only a short distance away, came running to the scene, but White- head had disappeared. Repeated at- tempts had to be made and consider- able exploratory work done before the body was located, LAC. White- head was twenty-eight years of age. He was a native of Manchester, Eng- land, and came to Port Albert with the first RAF contingent, Later his wife joined him and their baby 'was born in Goderich.

Certainly he sees to it that the children in our village are taught on moat up-to-date lines. Every schoolmaster dreams of won- derful pupils. Our schoolmaster has good ordinary material to teach, for his pupils are the children of farm hands from the neighboring farms and also the children of railroad workers. He has hail one wonderful pupil, a markedly gifted lad, son of a locomo- tive driver, whose scholastic achievements rapidly lifted him by way of scholarships into secondary school and finally to Oxford Univer- sity where he was well on the way to becoming a lecturer at the out- break of war, Now he is a pilot in the R.

James G. Gardiner has an- nounced. As the normal movement of feed grain via lake shipments is curtailed and other factors have interfered with the ability of the grain trade to build up reserve supplies, the Gov- ernment ands it necessary to lend its support in carrying out the objectives set, said Mr. Gardiner. The.grain so deat with will be used only to meet similar emergency conditions to those which prevailed last winter, should such develop, he explained. The heavy rail traffic on Canadian railways was severely curtailed throughout a greater part of the winter of 1942-43 because of unusual- ly severe weather conditions. This slowed up the movement of feed, 2 grains from Western Canada, result- ing in only a portion of the needed supplies getting through. It is antici- pated that feeding requirements in Eastern Canada for western grain wil undoubtedy be on an even heav- ier scale 011 1944. Despite these plans, Mr, Gardiner pointed out, it will be necessary for all farmers who may anticipate the need of western -grown grain for feed for live stock 'for next winter to lay in supplies as early as possible and while transportation facilities are beter able to take care of the move- ment. The co-operation of all prospec- tive feeders will be needed in order to make the most efficient use of transportation when it is avaiable, said the Minister.

When the crop is left standing after maturity much of the seed may be lost by shattering, states W. J. Breakey, Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Morden, Man, Many diff erent kinds and types of machines have been used in past years for harvesting soybeans. The combine is the most popular and sat- isfactory now in use in Manitoba. Some farmers straight combine the crop, while other growers cut the crop first and then use the pickup at- tachment ttachment on combine when thresh- ing, At the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Morden, eight acres of the two • varieties, Kabott and Pagoda, were grown in rows 30 inches apart. At harvesting it was found that many pods were too close to the ground to permit harvesting witha binder, or even a mower, without considerable loss of pods from the lower part of the stem. In order to avoid a heavy loss of beans, an • attachment was made consisting of a blade 28 inches long and 4 inches wide, with a shank on each end, sufficiently long to be connected to the cultivator attach- ment of a. small tractor. The blade was made of well tempered steel, slightly concaved and adjusted so as to cut at a 46 degree angle and suf- ficiently low to shear off the roots of the plants about one inch below 'life ground. A sidedelivery rake was used to combine two rows into one windrow. If operations are carried out in the morning, when the plants are slight- ly tough from a heavy dew, practical- ly no shattering will result, Soyebans crack very readily if threshed by ordinary methods. It is highly important to reduce the speed of the cylinder to around 500'gt.P.M. d h -Range Shelters Mean More Profit If there is one thing necessary to assure the good growth of pullets it is range shelters .that are large enough, More pullets mean more eggs for Britain. Now is the time to provide such shelters so as to get the maximum production next fall and next winter. The colony 'louse that was filled with baby chicks is not big enough when they are half grown. Serious harm is done to grow- ing chicks through overcrowding pil- ing up and over heating, More good pallets are spoiled by being forced' to crowd in Olose quarters than fu any other way, say poultry °facials of the Dominion Department of Agriculture., Growing pullets need plenty of room and fresh air. They like to roost in he open .and range shelters are the best alternative. A. suitable shelter. can be built for a comparatively mall cost.
