Total sheep marketings last year were approximately 250,000' head with about .half the marketings • being males. "This means," said Mr. Wat- son, "that most of the 1942 ewe lamb crop must be salvaged for ;breeding •purposes. "There are 36,000 Ontario farmers keeping sheep. If each opt;these men �lr retain three- ewe lambs in' addition to those required for replacement, the necessary increase will be attained. However, a great many flock owners are already keeping all they can pro- perly accommodate, so newflocks must be established. Our objective for 194 is 1,000 new flocks," said Mr. Watson.

Counties have been. divided into oCategories A, $, and C, according to present sheep population.." 1 Counties in "A" • category -7where • over 5,000 lambs were marketed Jost ear—will be asked to establish three eye flocks per township. They in- clude Bruce, Carleton, • Bufferin, Dur- ham, Grey, Hastings, Huron, Lambton, Lanark, Manitoulin, 'Middlesex, On- tario Rainy River, Renfrew, Simcoe, Victoria, Wellington and. Yqrk, Counties in "B" 0Category where lamb marketings were between 2,500 and 5,000 last year, will be asked to. establish at least two . new flocks per township. These include the counties of Frontenac, Haldimand, Halton, Peel, Perth, Peterborough,`" Waterloo and 'Wentworth. • All other counties not included in above categories will be asked to establish one new flock in each town- ship. • - Agricultural Representatives are taking a prominent part in the cam- paign for more sheep. They hsve justsheep survey and are in a position to advise prospec- tive flock owners regarding suitable breeding stock. In past years, parties wishing 'to establish flocks have invariably Post- poned doing so until the fall months., believing that' ewe lambs could be purchased at lower prices at that sea- son. Realizing that this situation may occur again this year, the On- tario Departnient proposes to pur- chase good ewe lambs, on the mar -- Stet and in some •of the larger sheep producing counties, during the sum, mer months. These lambs will be as- -sembled at strategic points so that a reserve supply will be available later in the season. It is planned to sell these Iambs at current market prices. Prospective purchasers are remind- ed that although the price per pound may be lower later in• the season, the lambs will weigh more, with the re - vault that there will be very little dif- ference in the total cost. • Ewe lambs purchased and assemb- led by the Department will be avail- able for shipment to counties where the local supply is insufficient to meet the demand. When lambs are ship- ped in carload lots . between points within the Province, or where lambs are shipped in less than carload lots between points within the Province located within 200 miles of each other freight will be paid by the, Dominion Department of Agriculture. s The Dominion Department of Agri- culture alsoproposes to supply a ram for two years, free of charge, under a loan policy, to all parties establish - sing new flocks consisting of a mini- mum of 15 ewes, so long as suitable rams are available. Forms for mak- ing application for freight assistance or loan of rams, -'will be available at all Agricultural Representatives' offi- ces on and after August lst.

Quite apart from c 'evenience this is good reasoninbus days for an all-out campaign to cons rve elec- trical equipment which is practically irreplaceable until after th-e war.

Occas- ionally. turn it right inside out and clean it with a whisk.- Pins, tacks, pebbles may damage the belt or other moving parts. Be careful not to pick these' up with the cleaner. - The cord of the machine is precious Avoid running the cleaner over it. Do not wind it tightly but coil it loosely around the cord clips. Take time to pull the plug out carefully When dis- connecting; never jerk it out. Keep the brushes clean, free from hair and threads. For oiling and manipulating the cleaner, follow the manufacturer's di- rections. Repairs, when necessary, should he made promptly by a reliable repair man.

New regulations laid doben.by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board have limited the variety of colors in lipsticks, nail polish, rouge and* face powder and the var- iety of odors in perfums, toilet waters and hand lotions.

Hoseless Days Gardeners Warned ,A,s there will be no new garden hoses available„bedause of.the rubber situation, .it is very important to give present hoses proper care and atten- tion. The hose should never be left' outside lying on the ground or coiled over the water tap where it is sub- ject to sunlight and heat and all kinds of weather conditions. -Remember never to drag the hose along where it is liable to catch on stones or the sides of the building and thus stretch. It should be stored off the ground indoors so that It will dry out free from dirt, grit and grease. It is advisableseto coil hose on .a reel in order to prevent bends and:links. In this way all the ex- cess water left in it can be carefully drained. Gas, Tire Shortages Put Shoes on Spot People People . are walking a great deal more, now that the tire and gaso- line shortage -is what it is. Shoes, therefore, are playing,..a much greater part in everyday life. Regular polishing and the use of shoe trees are of first line import- ance in extending the life of foot wear and in maintaining a proper ap- pearance. Extra care should be taken irthe buying of shoes these days. They should be the correct size and width to ensure plenty of foot room for walking. What is more, care in buy- ing will mean added life to shoes. The first rule in making shoes ;ast longer is regular polishing. A good polish protects shoes by acting as a kind of weather conditioner, and makes them more pliable. This doesn't mean that rubbers and gal- oshes shouldn't be worn in wet wea- ther. Shoes which dare wet are easily put out of shape. When shoes get wet and muddy they should be wash- ed off with a damp cloth and wiped dry. Shoe trees should be inserted immediately and then shoes should be allowed to dry slowly, but com- pletely, away from direct heat. As soon as they are dry they should be givers a good polish. 1l1"F;;.,u: Rural Scrap Rubber Drive Nearly 10,000 rural post office em- ployees have been enli>ited in a cam- paign beginning August 24 and con- tinuing through September 8 to col- lect •all scrap rubber in Ontario and Quebec rural and summer resort ar- eas, it was announced by Hon. NV. P. Mulock, Postmaster General, 1 and Charles LaFerle, National Salvage Di- rector. "`y Rural mail contractors, stage ser- vice contractors and rural postmas- ters whose 'services are being volun- tarily given for the drive are •repres- entative of more than5,000 post of- fices and over 3,000 mail routes. They will perform the vital task of seeing. that the scrap rubber donated by the public is collected. The nearest sal- vage committees will in turn see that it reaches the government-owned Fair- mount 'Company, which handles the product. • This campaignwill apply only in the two provinces, but may be ex- tended to the rest of the country later on. Residents of citibs and towns• are excluded from the campaign be- cause this would bear too heavily on post °office facilities and because urb- an residents have local salvage com- mittees to carry out the work of rub- ber collection. "Once again,” said Mr. LaFerle, "the post office has provided an ex- ample of the highest type of co-op- eration I amn e co fid nt that with the help of this outstanding transporta- tion link',the campaign will be a marked success and will tap an ex- cellent source of much-needed rub- •ber." During the campaign rural delivery patrons are ,being asked;t£o pile their scrap rubber at the foot of their mast boxes, to be transported by the rural mail contractors to their post offices. Patrons of rural post offices are re- quested to bring • their scrap rubber to the post • office when calling for mail- - The drive is being timed to coin- cide with the end of the summer re- sort season, when summer residents can readily part with such things as the old tires on their boat docks. At the same time it will be a convenient period for a scrap rubber clean-up in Quebec and Ontario farms and rural homes.• Before the "campaign opens residents in therural areas of the two prov- inces will receive from the post of- fices post cards describing the de- tails of the collection system and pointing out the various items about their homes that should be contribut- ed to the war effort. Rubber tires from summer resort wharves and docks, other discarded automobile and tractor tires and ubes, rubber boots, old .swimming tubes, hot water ' bottles=rubber aro- icles'ef any and all descriptions are required to be reclaimed and trans- formed into necessary equipment for the armed services. 1VIr:, LeFerle pointed out that the postal employees are. undertaking this task -without any extra pay and in addition to their usual duties. For this reason, he said, it will be help- ful if the public lends assistance wherever possible in seeing that the rubber gets to the post offices or the depots which in many cases will be set up near the post office building. Instalment Plan Still Unchanged Farm implements still may be pur- chased on the' instalment plan if 40 per cent of the selling price is paid in cash on or before delivery and credit terms. do not. exceed 24 months, according • to Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials. " • Although since August (first, con- sumers generally are being required to make heavier down payments when purchasing goods on the instalment plan, the original W.P.T.B. order con- cerning the sale of farm machinery -•Prnains unchanged. When the farmer purchasing ma- chinery wishes to turn in old equip- ment on new, the amount allowed for the trade-in, 'cannot be treated as a down payments but is deducted from the total sale price of the machinery. This. means that if $100 is -'allowed on a piece of new machinery °costing $200, the total price of the equipment Will be treated as worth $200' and the down payment will . be not less than $80,- 40 per pent of the dint tint. , A0 ,.t,esuSi...t •..Ilirjf t9. x , 4%9, } .se I TO *AS doptcor to % ,accost 1 �•t° 144.0pm Dr .< " 940 til .a leaven, to exist x5.04,4110.... 44 .Corps attached i:t ,tbte40y410,4lsadian;• Air • F ice' 43,Inge'eonilug 'to Q'lllgtt l about aiz . y9ars: age D4', ' faedd )4_. become Wolf and >'avoral>ly' 1 wwn° his work, "and outside iliterest, Presbyterian Church of, which he is 'a member and the Clinton lraniatie Soc}sty Where he .gav'e his trine and ability willingly. , He will be greatly missed but we wish him luoic in .his new work.

A farm fire todays destroys precious food vital to our armies and our allies. Secondly, the replacement of the buildings and machinery call for materials and man hours of which. We have all too few to produce the sinews of war. Thirdly, and this af- fects the victim directly, he may be unable to rebuild until after the war, hecause of the scarcity of the where- withal. The cold feet of the matter is, however, that threshing fires could be practically eliminated by employ- ing three simpleprecautionare mea- sures. These are based on the prin- ciple of removing, as far as possible, both the direct causes land the con- tributing causes of such fires. The first and perhaps the most im- portant preventive is the use of a water spray at.,the base of the blower which will apply 20 to 40 gallons of water per hour, according to the dry- ness of the straw. This will allevi- ate dust conditions which would rap idly propagate fire once it started. The second yet no less important precaution is the prevention of loose matches or boxes of matches (the boxes being more deadly than the loose) from passing through the ma- chine. The one in charge of the job should insist on the strict observance of the Ontario Fire Marshall's order posted on every licensed threshing machine. This not only forbids smok- ing, but prohibits carrying matches on the premises duringthreshing op- erations. Let the workers deposit their matches in e , safe- place away from the scene: Last,but not least, have the enge or tractor 'located away from y straw or other• readily combustible material: Straw or sheaves in this danger zone invite fires of the most dangerous type. Don't drive loads of sheaves near the exhaust. Especially in wartime it is the duty of everyone of us to prevent fires by keeping them from starting. But if they do start, be ready. $ 'barrel oi;, water, not only close by thQ, engine, brit another up on the seperafor, near the 'blower, are simple common sense' precautions.
