McLean FORTH, Friday, October 1st L 4 , Fire Prevention, We d,raw attention to the fact that he week of O' ober 3-9 is Fire Pre- ghout Ontario. ,-;aeration- Wee .throw opportunity, should be taken dur- ing that time to educate the public en the great need there is for a much "'greater effort along fire prevention lines. It is work that every muniei- - pal council, every school board, ev- ery industry and every home should be vitally interested in. - Year by year the fire toll in lives and property keeps mounting. -In the 1939-42 period, the number of indus- trial fires increased from 1,039 to 1,501, and the property loss increas- ed from $3,788,000 in 1939, to $6,- 970,000 in 1942, which represents an increase of nearly 80 per cent. To prevent fires one, naturally, must know the cause of them. In On- tario a close check has been kept on L industrial fires since the start of the, war and statistics show that elec- ' tricity is a major cause of such fires. The remedy is, therefore, to see that all electrical equipment is kept in good shape at all times. It has also been shown that other causes of fire are defective or over- heated furnaces, spontaneous com- bustion, cutting and welding opera- tions and poor housekeeping. In the country there is the ever present danger -of the carele'sss. use of lamps and lanterns and the lack of proper care and supervision of power ma- chinery in barns and other' buildings. In these times .when the preserva- tion of life and property are vital to.: the war effort, extra care should be taken and Fire Prevention Week would be an excellent time to exam- ine and overhaul all- your lighting and - heating -equipment. O The Truth Comes Out Three weeks ago there w:as wide, and bittercriticism over Ontario, against the fine of $50 imposed by a Toronto magistrate on a supposed farmer for giving his wife a ride in a truck from a garage to their home, a. short distance away: The presump- ' tion, of course, was that the sup- posed farmer was using the truck in' the regular course of his business. Newspapers took the story up and r. spread it about, , wherever people met, particularly in the country, they .talked about it, and there was more than widespread eritici'sm of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board for allowing such a fine 'to be impos- ed for such a trifling infraction of their rules regarding the carrying of passengers in trucks. - In fact,such a storm' was raised that the Chairman of the Board, Donald Gorclbn, made a personal in- vestigation of the case and the truth came out. In the first place, the accused was not a farmer; the truck was not a farm truck and was not owned by him, but. by his father-in-law. Af- ter watching the truck cruising' on a number of Toronto streets, the pip- ' , lice stopped it at three, o'clock in the morning and found the man's wife to be a passenger; and no freight be- ing carried. The driver explained to the police that he had picked the truck up at a garage and was just on his way home, taping his wife with him. But the wife was a little more communi- cative, volunteering the information that they driven in it to Toronto from Dunnville. Further investiga- - tion proved that while the truck had been in a garage, the accused had taken it out three days before and had been cruising with it ever since. It Was clearly not a case of perse- cuting a magi' for a trivial invasion o truck regulations, but a deliber- ate , waste of gasoline, tires and ,e uizpilieit. In fact, Mr. Gordon Ointed ,out that .all board 'officers t advised that truck -we�� jong ago firer Ate 'permitted to carry .two ors +i: • their cabs when oiler - ticks as $refight carriers. �o arade :. _en+ . '� made ade such a B. un A � t A y •.i , t ; ,i"`iht ?Ci persecution, that we hope he will continue, along the 'same line and keep the public posted on the actual facts of the countless rumors of persecutions his restrictions and rul- -. ings are inflicting on the poor. pub- lic. We hope, too, that the newspapers that were so quick and anxious to spread the` incident as another case of the incompetence and tyranny on the part of the Board, and the bung- ling of the Government, without first obtaining, or even trying to obtain the facts,will now be as quick and anxious to spread the truth, now the real facts are known. Unfortunate- ly, however, the truth never travels as fast or as far as a good lie. • Back To The Farm Wonders ,never cease. Not even on the farm. Just when the farmers had got to the place where they ,. didn't believe they would be able to carry on another year without more . help, along comes Nature,' assisted by man, with a new tuber whose money making proclivities will bring him all the labor he needs. Development of a new potato var- iety ..yielding up to 900 bushels an acre, compared with 130 to 350 bush- els for present varieties, has been claimed by a former Pennsylvania State College facility member. This man is Dr. E. L. Nixon, now agricultural counsellor fo r t h e Pennsylvania Chain Store . Associa- tion, told the Pennsylvania Co-oper- ative Pot to Grower's' Association the ne-w'va variety was developed after cross -breeding the Rural Russell with the old McCormick. Test' at Camp Potato, an experi- mental station near Coudersport in' Northwestern Pennsylvania, show- ed the new type known as H.U. 23, would multiply itself 15 to 20 times when planted, the Doctor said. If given a sufficiently extensive. trial, he declared, H.U. 23 could pro- duce a money crop large enough to draw labor back to the farm after • the war. It all sounds very promising? but wouldn't that kind of a crop be rather hard on the land? O Rumor Hurts Morals Speaking on "The Domestic Front," at a recent meeting in Chi cago, Eliot °Janeway, a well known American writer, had this to say: "As I travel round the country,, the - one generalization • which becomes clear tome is that we are rapidly ,passing from what you might call a crisis of morale to a moral' crisis—a crisis in which no one seems any longer to be believing what he is told by anyone in authority. It seems to be - a crisis marked by, universal ; resent- ment throughout the country , against the big shots. No one knows who the big shots are, and -each group of people has its own personal devils and its' own ' personal defini- tion of the big shots." That situation is not at all peculiar to the 'United States. Canada hav- ing entered the war five years ago, very early went through the same mill, and is still hearing fairy tales that always find too many believers. Do you remember when a lady member of Parliament put on Han-• sard the rumor—as a fact—that there were sixty war millionaires al- ready produced in Canada by favor- itism and graft. And what happen- ed to that rumor? Then there was the letter sent to the Ottawa Journal giving an ac- count of how a man, not named, got a rake-off of $350,000 for negotiating a sale 'of airplanes to the govern- ment. This, the Journal pointed out, was just a plain lie, because all the airplanes made in Canada are built to the order of the Government. Even complaints about the big shots come from the farm. One farmer complained that he could' not obtain shells to shoot crows, while sportsmen had no difficulty in get- ting them. The truth is that it is the 'sportsman who is completely barred from getting shells, while the farmer can get them at anytime if he makes out a case to satisfy the local,board. There are thousands of similar stories being banded about, irhich could easily create a dangerous • ,sit - �atxor,unless real public o inion which Yzs,forna�-antwar e' orf makes itself evident. .n {k 9 - v' -one Interesting 'items picked from The I1 positOi - of fifty and twenty*five years ago.

PHIL -0SZFEB of-----�- ;JAZ?' ,, By Harry 3. Boyle Living in the country certainly pro- vides for the full use of all faculties suoh as seeing, hearing`and smelling. Take a man who has lived in the country for some time and; what hap - Tens when he's scanning the sky on a Fall day. He'll contemplate it for some time and then say, "We're go- ing to have rain." You look up and what do you see . . . just a plain, ordinary day . . . no diij?ere,nt from all the others. Yet that 'older man will invariably be right. A max learns to be observant in the country. He watches the sun and at night he glances to see which way the moon is riding up in the sky. He notices the leaves and ho'w they turn so often show their undersides when a storm is approaching. He smells a storm. It may be .the way the air feels on his cheek or how the 'cat is phevring grass . . . or the cattle are huddled together in the pasture. Each little sign means very little, but when you put them: (together your farmer can tell you what the weather is go- ing to be like. A man on' -the farm' learns an ap- preciation for the things he smells. You'll see him standing on the edge of the clover field breathing in deep- ly of the aroma of the new cut hay. You'll find him in the granary and although he wouldn't tell ..you, Ire loves that dry musty odor of stored grain. • There are so many other things. Take the horse stable for instance. Just step inside and you have, the acrid, sweaty smell of the horses just in from work. You notice the dry dusty smell of the timothy hay and the oiliness of the harness hanging on the neat racks. Even the oats and the ground grain given to the old blind mare have their own particular fragrance. Step into the sheep pen and you get a sticky, oily smell from the fleeces.' The root 'house has its own e.ar•thiness and the milk. house tells you. the story of .the thousands, of railkings that have gone through the old separator. Thedriving• shed has the most cosmopolitan odors of alt. In there you find the manila odor of sisal and twine .•. . the neatsfoot oil on the single harness and and strange smell of the old mohair cutter and buggy seats. You can .smell the ma- chine oil that was spilled on the floor when you were oiling the mower. These are all marks of identifica- tion. Your knowledge •of them goes into the one common fund and it makes you "keen." You balance it all up together and your appreciation •nf these things along with the picture of daily farm life given you by your eyes and.,you have. what is known as "appreciation" for the things of the soil. :JUST A SMILE OR Two: Mrs. Jones: "low, pupils, the lat- est island taken over by our troops is roughly about aslarge as Siam." Willie Junior (taking notes) :, "The captured island is as' large as Mrs. Jones." • Sergeant: "Did you give the pris- oner the third degree?" Policeman: "Yes, we browbeat him, badgered him and asked him ev- ery question we could think of. He. merely dozed off and said, 'Yes, dear, "you are perfectly right'." Tramp: "Have you a piece of cake, lady, to give a poor man who hasn't had a bite for two days?" Front The Huron Expositor October 6, 1893 'A large raft was driven ashore at Sand Beach, near Goderich, last week. It is said that it contains 1,000,000 feet of timber. Th.e terrible -fire whistle at Broad - foot's, mill, Sdaforth, awakened the citizens from their comfortable- slum- bers about one o'clock on Tuesday morning. It `was soon discovered that the rear part of the residence. of Mr. J. W. Snell, clothes dyer, just adjoining the 'residence of Thos. Kidd, was on fire. The main part of the house was damaged only by water. In the absence of the precentor on Sunday morning last in Egmondville Church, the singing was led by Miss A. G. Gemmell. It is well to be in- dependent of organ or precentor. Mr. C. W. Papst, of Seaforth, has purchased a ihandsome Mikado with canopy top, from Mr. Hugh Grieve. It was at the show on Friday and at- tracted much admiration. - Misses Dickson, McNab, Elder and McLean represented the, Seaforth So- ciety of the Christian Endeavor . at the county convention at Hensall on Friday. Over $8800 worth of gravel has been laid on the streets of Seaforth this year. "Crake? Isn't bread good- 'enough for you?" •• Tramp: "Ordinarily, yes but this is my birthday." • "What's happened, George?" "Puncture." "You should ,have looked out for it.

When a potato grower takes a load of potatoes into town to sell di- rect to 'householder heirs •entitled to receive the maximum price at which wholesale distributors' sell to retail- ers in their particular zone, as set out in the Order, in addition to which he may add a mark-up -of 40 cents basis of sample inspection will be is- sued by the Board of Grain Commis- sioners. This increase in the dockage toler- ance from 1 per cent. authorized on .August 31st last to,3 per cent. is an emergency measure and has been concurred in by the governments of the five Eastern provinces. Under this provision Eastern farmers may buy feed grains direct. from Western farmers and Western farmers will have the privilege_of shipping coarse grains to ftmafrmers• in Eastern Ca grains, direct to farmers in Eastern, Canada in reasonable quantities a- bove the prevailing quota. The problem of speeding up the movement of feed grains from Wes- tern Canada to the Eastern provinces has been under consideration of the Agricultural Supplies Board for the past few months., and several meas- ures calculated t&r be of assistance have been put into effect. Up to the present these have been effective on- ly to a degree in relation to the unpre- cedented demand for feed„ grains in Eastern Canada. Owing to one of the Poorest, crops in Eastern Canada this livestock producers in the east rely on feed grains from Western Canada to a greater extent than ever before. The volume required will be by far the greatest ever needed. Shipping Fever Can Be and if within the 3 percent. dockage tolerance will be shipped direct and thereby avoid delay at bhe terminals at the head of the Great Lakes. Cars of feed grains with not more than 3 per cent. dockage will be considered eligible to participate ,in the Freight Assistance Plan and other related subsidy plans of the Dominion Gov- ernment. On cars held too full for regular "inspection certificates on the for 100 -ib. bag, 30 cents for a 75-1b. bag, or 25 cents for 50 ,lbs. Sheep -Raisers. Offered Free Freight ( Free freight on shipments of ewes or' ewe lambs for breeding purposes is the inducement offered Canada's sheep -raisers, W. K. Riddell, Middle- sex County agricultural representa- tive, has been officially notified. Ob- ject of the Dominion Government's offer is stepped-up wool production. Under it all ewes or ewe lambs shipped between now and December 31st may travel free, with rail "rates _paid by the Government. Some dis- trict farmers have already taken ad- vantage of "getting something • for nothing," Mr. Riddell reported. Another .move to boost sheep pro- duction across the Dominion is the offer to loan rams to farmers '• with which to establish flocks. The loan will extend for two seasons. Persons who did not own sheep 'in 1942, but who since the first of this. year have started a new flock of at least 15 breeding ewes or ewe lambs, are eligible to receive the loan of a Government ram. How To Get Value From Woodlot• The farm woodlot has been proved over and over again to be a good in- vestment, and wherever possible ev- ery farmer should have his own re- forestation or conservation plan, in addition to ^any provincial scheme, urges the Dominion Forest Service. Most farms have an area of. rough or strong land that would produce more revenue as .a woodlot if properly car- ed for than as a rough pasture,- It is on record that one farmer who has followed good woodlot practice, and who has kept records of every- thing h'e has removed, found`that the land in bush was producing more rev- enue than the rent of the farm, In the management of a woodlot, it is important to observe one or two things. Cattle Should not be allow- ed to graze in the buec•ause they destroy all the young growth which protects the -roots of the trees ,from drying out. When cutting wood for fuel, it is advisable to remove all dead trees, and "in order to find the dead trees easily in the winter, it is a good plan to mark .them during the summer. It 1•e also good practice to remove undesirable, species of trees, 'such as ironwood which does not pro- duce a trunk satisfactory for mak- ing into lumber. The same applies to crooked and mis-shapen trees which occup space that could be ut- ilized for growing straight trees of good lumber varieties.

The veterinary name of the . disease is Haemorrhagic Septic- aemia, and while it may occur in cat- tle on the farm, stabled or otherwise, the much greater loss, especially in the fall and winter months, has led to the -general application of the term "shipping fever." The germ,, which produces the dis- ease has peculiar characteristics and under normalconditions does not pro - dune disease. It is widely spread in nature. It exists in the soil, in, the stockyards, and elsewhere, and inthe bodies of healthy cattle as harmless organisms. So long as cattle are in good condition and arormall vigour they are not likely to contract the disease, but when their Condition is impaired and their vitality lowered, as by long hard journeys or haphaz- ard feeding, the organisms change from the?' i harmless state to one pro- ducing disease and often death. Among the precautions to be taken are 'to avoid hard driving of the Cat- tle and alio* ample time for the cat- tle to rest before being loaded into railway cars or trucks. - Vie animals should ,not, be allowed to 81l up with water but should first leave resit diad be fed clean •non le`gunle hay.
