WELCOME APPRECIATED The following letter from the Loa - don Chamber of Commerce written to the secretary of Wingham Chamber of Commerce is, we believe worthy of passing along to our readers: London, August 2th 1924. Abner Cosens, Esq., 'Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, Wingham, Ontario, Dear Mr. Cosens:— 'At a meeting of the Directors of his organization held yesterday, I Was asked to try to coevey to you some idea of our appreciatii5n of the exceed- ingly cordial reception accorded us on he occasion of our visit to Wingham ' .last week, The idea of meetingus at the beau- tiful village of Bit evale and conducting -us to Wingham was original and atil- king, and niade us regret exceedingly that the holiday season had interfered -With our plans for a -more thoroughly representative party. We have also to apologize for the apparently tine avoidable delay which kept so many of your good citizens waiting so bong in the hot sun. Will you kindly, if possible convey to ttliern our grateful thanks for thenr hearty welcome, and our personal " thanks to your Board and the Mun- icipal Council for the very splendid way in which they arranged for onr reception. , Our hope is that the frtendly relat- ions evinced by otif" visit and your hearty reception, may be strerighten- ed and maintained. Yours very frilly, '" Gordon Philip Managing Secretary. Milked Villager's Cows The Deemerton cow owners were a very angry aggregation a couple of weeks ago, when their bovines re- , turned home one evening, milked bone dry. They determined, to keep a close watch, and their vigils were rewarded last week by catching a Carrick farmer in the act of milking the cows, the animals being chained up in his stable. EVERYBODY'S COLUMN DURON - COUNTY CROPS Farmees Finding ,Ground for Optim- ism in Big Crops and Better Prices Mr. T. R. Elliott, of the staff of the London Free Press, i$ making a tour of Westere Ontario and writing, up the harvest reports, Ile sends his pa- per the following from Huron: Without heroics of any kind the farmers of Western Ontario are just completing a record harvest. The week just ended, sttelf a week as has not been their good fortune for many years, gave them a helping hand at their task. Threshing is now pre- ceeding at full blast and millions of boxes of grain from the thresher are being dumped into the granaries, which in their turn will pour millions of dollars into every channel of trade in the Western Ontario Peninsula. Tired out, but cheerful, as this last wonderful week drew to a close, far- mers were unanimous in verdict. "The best all-round crops in twenty years and the best week of harvest weather [or longer than. that." they CHEAP FOR QUICK SALE—Eight room brick veneer house, well sit- uated, all conveniences, barn and ga- rage, owner leaving town.

There cane no • longer be any doubt about the excellence of the crop. If Western: Ontario in general can come even close to the seventy -mile stretch through -the Huron tract surveyed by The Free Press to‘day, then the yield of 1924 is going down in history as a "whopper,' and the fourteete coun- ties which surround London are going to play an unheard-of partin th'e econothic life of the • Dominion this year. • • "A bumper 'yield with the prices on the up grade," was the way Wil- liam Welsh, near Exeter, expressed it. "1 don't 'think there • can be a better crop anywhere, in the Province than in the Huron tract, from Lon- don to Kincardine, and it is the bat since 1915, anyway'. The big yeild is going to be a bigger factor in pros- perity than the rise in prices, The fall harvest is the backbone of the farmer's income. If he has plenty, he can feed the 'grain or sell it, but in any case he doesn't have to buy feed and that is what niakes the raising of stock Unprofitable, regard- less .of the prices the animals' bring. This year we have the grain. Forty bushels to the acre is only the ordin- ary yield this year. Plenty of fields are threshing out above fifty." All along the line farmers were just as optimistic: A stoey Of a yield of 55 bushels to the acre was authentl- cated, but no such individual instances eau tell the story. It is the unusu- ally high average which counts: - As in most Ontario counties, the difference between a good crop and bad crop in. Huron is not usually very large, Year after year the yield from the .farms is fairly high, in quantity and quality, regardless of conditions, while in the Prairie Provinces a single early frost turns a good year into a bad Qiae allt this year Huron county farm production will stand away tip. The grain crops were uniformly heavy. When it is consider- ed that the average yield per acre for fall wheat in Ontario last year was twenty-three bushels, the effect of a fifty -bushel crop eau be slightly ap- preciated. And wheat is only on.e item. --••• - The income of the farmers of Western Ontario this year will be higher • by thirty or forty per cent. than in 1923. Translated into dollars. that ,iiieans many millions. A Big Increase - It is estimated that in all Ontario last- year the total revenue on the farmS was $400,511,000. It has already been calculated that the total farm re- venue this year will be something like $5oo,000,000. Crop's in Eastern Ontar- io arge not so abundant as in this sec- tion, so it may ,be taken for granted that the best part of the increase is go- ing to come, into pockets 'of WeSte'rn. Ontario, The, higher price level for farm prodncts this year has its in- fluence on total reveaue, of cow se, as well as the 'bumper crop. "Wonderful," , was the Way S. B. Stothers, agricnitural representative at Clinton, cleepribed. it, "The farm- er is becoming decidedly more 'hopeful Cattle prices are, of course, barely 'holding their own, Hog prices are on the upgrade and we believe hogs are on a fair paying basis now, Farmer after farmer pays tribute to sheep as a faiely easy source of money dur- ing the last two or three years. We have had several inquiries from farm- ers for flocks of grade sheep. Dairy products and poultry -products are in- creasing in 'price, These ,.are na in- considerable items as a ,,source of farm reveaue here. Apples in the last couple of years have also brought us Considerable revenue.. We, expect, a fair price for what epples. we have and we may' not be 'so 'badly off on tliat score. "This being true of farm crops, the farmer is naturally in a little more cheerio' mood and things certainly look better for hint this year, The main complaint of course is that wag- es and the commodities purchased are still al.'t rather high level. he high pride of labor is affecting the faemer seriously in this respect, aS :he will not pay the present scale of wages, The result is that many limit are not tilled a8 they should be and weeds are beconaing a distinct metiace every- where, • Bert Peck, of the Babylon 'Line, is the marl who threshed fifty-five bush- els of, wheat to the acre; At first the estimate was: Sixty-nine bushels to the acre, but a• check of the acreage and the yield Showed fifty-five, to be the right figurc 11 any. farm in On. tario claims a higher yield than this (continued on page 5) FOR SALE—Wilkinson Bateman Ensila.ge Cutting Box, Apply to The Advance. n FOR RENT—Eight roomed house o Centre?'
