least another •half century. We know
it is given to comparatively few to

We also know this m,arried portion
of your lives has been filled with joys
and sorrows, and today, we your chil-
dren, wish to make amends for the
anany trials and tribulations we must
have caused you M those, fifty years
of labor, not for yourselves, but for
us..
"Nothing we can offer can ever re-
pay a good father's and mother's
bounteous gifts for so many years,
and so we ask you to accept this lit-
tle gift, hot for its value, but because
it symbolizes our affection, ten love
and pride in a father and mother, bus -
band and wife, for half a century, and
whom we trust and pray God will
leave witila us for many years to come.
—Your Loving Ohildren."

Local Officer
Goes to Brockville

(By Eric McVeity In -the Toronto
Globe and Mail)
Because of a lack of knowledge on
the part of the Federal Goverment
scores of tons of Dutch Sett °alone,
representing some $8,000 in seed and
labor value, Me rotting in intehes
around here. In one case' a well 25
feet deep has been filled with last
year's crap aud left to deeay.
, Local growers and warehouses were
seeking a way to abandon their stored
of onions because the home market
wee flooded with over 190tons of
Dutch Sett onions, the trhtrplus crop
of the United States mines districts,
growers say. Such is the plight of
this 450 square reale district, regard-
ed as tbe taost productive onion
growing land in Ontario.
• Blame Governmeiet
All this hns beert brought about,
the growers say,: because -the Federal
Government last year lifted the dump-
ing duty on United States onions. In
lifting the tariff, those •responsible
failed to realize that the "Unit-
ed. States crops were oee to two
menthe ahead of the Ontario crops
and that there was a difference be-
tween Dutch, Sett onions and the com-
mercial onion. Such is the conten-
tion of growers who were interview-
ed in the district.
The Federal Customs officials are
examining reporte from Hensall that
farmers are suffering severely from
an opion influx from the United
States, partioularly Dutch, Setts. So
far as is known. at present no pre-
vious complaint has been received nor
hasthere been any demand fer the
impositions of the dump duty against
Dutch Setts. It was put on in 1931,
but taken off the same day and'there
has never been any demand for it
since. The valuation or duty pur-
poses was placed on onions on June
28th this year for Ontario and Que-
bec, for Manitoba and Mg West, July
12th, and it went into effect August
16th in the Maritime Provinces. It
applies generally to commercial on-
ions, the dates being set to meet cli-
matic andproduction seasons in tile
three areas.
It costs in the neighborhood of 4
cents a pound to produce Dutch Setts,
say growers. This price allows only a
margin sufficient to take care of leer-
ed labor, yet because of the flooding
of the market by the United States
growers prices weat down to 1 eent
a pound and as is evidenced by the
mounds of rotting onions. it was im-
possible to give them away.
According to Fred W. Smallacconbe
of Hensall, who is regarded as the
"father of the onion growing indus-
try" here, the authorities failed to
specify. when they lifted the dump-
ing duty, what type of onion should
be exempt, but included all types of
onions. The importation of the large
commercial onion would not have ser-
iously affected the home market, but
when no protection was afforded the
Dutch Sett, a small onion like a large
marble used for green onions and
seed for the large onion, the bottom
fell out of the home market.
Forced to Compete
By the time the United States grow-
ers have harveeted and marketed
their crops, the Ontario crop li are
about ready for harvesting, stated Mr.
Smallacombe. This means that un-
less the grower is under contract for
his croP he must, now that the dump-
ing duty is off, compete with the sur-
plus crops of the United States. The
United States growers having sup-
plisel their own market find that it is
best to sell their surplus at any
price and, as happened this spring,
these were told at 1 to 21/2 cents a
pound, while local growers found
themselves confronted with labor and
seed costs of 3 to 4 bents a pound.
T, C. Joynt, local merchant, and
grower, stated that to make a profit
the grower should realize 7 to 8 cents
a pound for Dutch Setts in the spring
after storing them all winter, or at
least 5 cents a pound in the fall when
they are harveeted. Unless a pro-
tective tariff is put on imported Dutch
Setts the growers of the Hensall dis-
trict stand to lose tons and tonS
again, and must abandoe the growing
of Dutch Setts, altogether.
Price Tumbles
Twenty years ago, remarked Fred
Smallacom.be, be had 200 growers un-
der contract fora large seed littuse.
The growers were paid 4., cents a
pound for theft Dutch Settseyet today
with ptices Varying from 1 to 21/2
cents a pound, there is no difference
In the retail price of tbe onions.
' Just what the onion crop means to
the growers of this district may be
realized from the fact that nearly ev-
ery farmer in this 450 -square -mile dis-
trict grows from one to ten tons of
onions. To many the onion crop is
the main crop, andunless they are
under contraet to some large seed
house they, must sell on the <men
market.

PREPARE TO DRILL
BELOW SALT DEPOSIT
A definite step in the search for
oil in Huron was taken Saturdaywhen
a contrast was signed for the drilling
of a well on the farm of Josepht and
John Mane, lot 16, con. 4, Hullett
township.
Heading a group of associates are
John F. Daly, Seafertla, arid William
Forrest, Goderich. It was they who
signed a contract with Jackson and
McKillop, of Dunnville, for the drill-
ing of the Hidden Lake Oil Well.
Work Will commence immediately,
Mr.. Daly told The Expositor, and
equipment is expected on the property
on Thursday of this week. The con-
tract calls for commencement of the
drilling by September. It is expect -
•ed the drilling will take about two
months.
Oil has long been. believed to ex-
ist in commercial quantities 'in 'Hur-
on and as early as 1866 a company
drilled a well at Goderich. The God-
erich Petroleum Co., as it was known,
however found ealt and abandoned
the search for oil.
In 1876 drillers went to 1,239 feet
at Stapleton, east of Clinton, when
salt was encountered. Similar condi-
tions were found at other centres :n
the county. As far as can be found
from records available, the deepest
bole drilled in the county is 1,315
feet.
Every indication points to there be-
ing oil below the salt deposit, Mr.
Daly said, ad for this reason he and
his associates are 'prepared to drill
to a ranch greater depth than has
previously been done.
A peculiar situation was disclosed
when lawyers searching the title ,to
the Mann farm found that the Can-
ada Company had retained oil rights
"when they geld the tame The por-
'Con upon which drilling is being done
is not, however, included in this re-
stricted area. •

Fire Destroys

Fire completely destroyed .he ;Jesse
residence on the farm of Mr. Warner,
neer Varna, on Friday at onn. The
Dennison residerice, some 60 rods
away, was only saved by the quick
wo-k of the firemen.
Threshers working on the Warner
farm started a fire when they came
in for dinner and were in the yard
when fire was first noticed. The build•
ing, a frame one, was soon a mass of
flames and despite the splendid NVO1
of the Brucefield fire brigade, could
not be saved.

Cars Collide Near Hensel!
On Saturday evening last cars driv-
en by Dr. Ross, dentist of London, and _-
Albert Shirray, of Tay To3.vnehip, re-
Pectively, collided on High -way No. 4,
opposite Dr. Moir' s farm, a mile south
of Hensall. Dr. Ross, travelling On
:his way to Lion's Head, apparently
failed to see a team and wagon with-
out a light, that was coming home
from stook threshing for a neighbor
and bad only a few rods to go on
the highway. To prevent hitting the
wagon, Dr. •Ross jammed on the
brakes, while swerving to tbe left and
when about 15 or 20 yards from the
wagon hit the Shirray car almost head
on. Dr. Ross had his lights dimmed
out of courtesy to the oncoming car
and this, added to the difficulty of
seeing the wagon ahead sooner. Both
cars were badly damaged. Dr. Ross
received a fracture of this knee cap
and Mr. Shirray a cracked toe. The
team was driven.bY Frank Forrest and
belonged to Dr. Moir.
Traffic Officer William Robinson in-
vestigated and laid charges against
Forrest for not having a light,' and
against Dr. Ross for reckless driving.

Miss Regan waS a passenger in a
car driven by her brother, and while
endeavoring to pass anelher machine
the Regan car went into the ditch and

claims her injuries were suffered
through negligence of the defendants
in that they did not keep the high-
way on the boundary between the
Counties of Huron and Middlesex in
