McKILLOP The following survey of McKillop Township appeared in a recent issue of The Farmers' Magazine gaud was prepared, by a Farm Forum Commit- tee led by Mrs. Keith Webster of McKillop. The Farm Radio Forum Groups and the Federation of Agriculture of MelCillop Township have endeav- ored to make a survey of the oppor- tunities which their community can offer to the boys who will come back from active service wishing to est- ablish themselves on the farm. In making an inventory of this community, the Farm Forum Groups used the guide supplied by The Far- mers' Magazine and a house to house survey made previously by the Fed- eration of Agriculture, The Township of McKillop in the County of Huron is bounded on the south west by number 8 . highway and •the Town of Seaforth which is about half way between Goderieh and Stratford. On the north east it is bounded by the village of Walton and a main line of the C.P.R. from Goderich. It is •a block seven miles wide and ten miles long, contains 45,292 acres or almost seventy square miles of land. The land is lev- el, rick black clay loam and is drain- ed by a branch of the Maitland Riv- er, Over 43,000 acres of this land is suitable for cultivation. There is about 1,800 acres of woodland and. very little swamp or waste lanrl. The main crops produced are spring grains, the average yield be- ing S6 bushels per acre and fall wheat which yields about 30 bushels per acre. Corn for ensilage yields1 about 7%, tons per acre. Some roots , and other vegetables are grown.I This district is particularly well ad- apted to the growing and processing, of`fibre flax. It is the chief cash crop. There is a large flax mill at Seaforth and another at Blyth just north of the township. As this is a mixed farming area. all of the grain produced is fed on the farms. Much of this is fed to beef cattle mostly Shorth irns, which.I is the main source of the farmer's in- come, There are about 2,400 mark- eted annually. As shown in the in -1 ventoa•y, cream from the 2,600 cows is another large source of income. No milk is sold, but is fed to calves, , hogs and poultry as part of a good mixed farming procedure. There are about 9,000 hogs marketed annually. Much of the grain for, them being brought from .Goderieh, in McKillop poultry raising has not been left to the women folk. They keep about 43,000 hens. This is facilitated by a large hatchery at Seaforth. Because of the large number of livestock produced. and fed on the farms and the low acreage of cash crops the fertility and humus of the land is kept at a high level.' Transportation facilities comprise of a main line of the C.N.R. on the South West with a station at Sea forth, • a main line ; of the ,C.P.R. on the North East with a • station at. Walton, seven miles of • paved No. 8 highway, ten miles of paved county Continued on Page Four Capt.

RED SHIELD HOME FRONT APPEAL The opening gun of the Salvation Army Home Front Appeal will be fired on September 18th, and for twelve days thereafter a concentrat- ed campaign will be conducted to raise one million dollars. In 400 towns, cities and villages, 30,000 volunteers will gear them- selves to all-out co-operation with 1,500 Salvation Army pincers in making the appeal a success. Every corps in Canada is taking part in this national endeavor, except those cen- tres where the Army is a participat- ing agent in a local community chest or united appeal. While world battle -fronts are re- sounding to the fierce shrill noises of war, the battle against poverty, ig- norance and fear continues apace at home. To wage this campaign against man's insidious enemies that fight and destroy without weapons, and cringe before enlightenment, a vast sum of money is needed. Not only is the Array of • Mercy hoping to carry on its many-sided program of helping poor folk, re. establishing ex -prisoners to normal, visiting the sick, and guiding the steps of erring womenback to the ways of righteousness; it also, plans a vast and far-reaching program of rehabilitation for returned men i when the war is over. 1 To quote Commissioner Benjamin Orames, Territorial Commander: "Tlte Salvation Army believes that every man's soul is worth saving: similarly it believes that spiritual helps -and practical aid go hand in hand. Wherever there is a need, there is an answering call from one of the blue -garbed soldiers of Salva- tion. "The Home Front Appeal is a splendid opportunity for all at home to prove to our fighting men that we are continuing to keep. the home fires burning brightly here in Can- arta. `The Red Shield is right up at the Fronts serving where the need is greatest," tables Senior Supervisor Major Clarence Wiseman from Lon- ' don, ''In Normandy Supervisor Moye of Vancouver," he continues, "was right up with the troops disposing Of mines and unexploded bombs, sup- plying tea and refreshments.
