-don't Forget
Don't forget that the Seaforth and
district collection of used clothes will
be held on Wednesday of next week.
No one needs to be told that across
Canada an appeal is being made for
used clothing for the devastated peo-
ple of Europe.
No one but knows the utter need
facing the people in the war -ridden
and robbed nations. No one with a
spark of humanity will be able to
pass • up this call. -
All that is needed is' a little effort,
and from us the greatest effort we
could make would be little enough.
If you already have your donation
ready, look -liver the bundles again.
Look over the house again. Make a
thorough fall housecleaning job of
it, and a good many odd things will
be sure to turn up. They are of no use to you, but
they may save a life over there. In
fact the opportunity of life saving is
boundless. Almost anything and
everything will help. .. _
What About It ?
What about this weather we are
having and have been having for
some time? No one likes it or wants
it, but still, as Mark Twain said, no
one does anything about it.
But there is no joke about it. In
fact conditions in the country are, in
many sections, serious. This district
and south of us is a bean district.
Up until a month ago the crop prom-
ised at least an average crop. There
is no such prospect now.
We doubt if there is a single farm-
er who has harvested his beans.
Many have some pulled, but that is
no advantage. On the contrary, the
pulled beans will be a complete fail-
ure. The majority of the beans are
still a standing crop in the fields.
If the weather would turn now, some
of these will perhaps be saved. But
that, of course, depends entirely up-
on the weather.
The weather to . date, however,
promises' little. Over the week -end
we had three days of solid heavy
rains. Ditches are all running over
the top and the land is flooded. Ev-
en with favorable weather, it will be
a week in most cases before the
farmers can get on the land even
with a team and wagon, and a trac-
tor will 'be out of the question. And
most farmers nowadays depend on
the tractor for motive power.
That goes for .the beans, and it is
bad enough. But there are hundreds
of acres of oats and other crops still
in the fields. It will take a block and
tackle to raise some of the stooks,
and the land will show the scars for
a long time to come.
Perhaps it is the farmer's fault.
Given good weather, stook threshing
saves a tremendous amount of work.
But still there are many who have
not the barn room to haul in, nor the
labor to do it if they had. On the
Whole, however, this is a year where
the old school of thought—if the.
grain is in the barn it is safe, be-
cause it can be threshed any time
after—wins out. And it is a decided
win too.
Preparing For Winter
Last winter has apparently taught
a number of rural municipalities
some lessons about preparedness. At
least, we have ' noticed where some
such municipalities have accepted,
or are about to accept, delivery of,
Inoderh about

•e sig Bess
eo]1e te back concessions are
eXaanding per roads Or all in
winter, 'as well as summer, regard-
less of the amount of snow that may
fall.,
Their claim that the cost of, keep-
ing the 'highways and country roads
hi their district falls just as much on
them as the favored few whose
farms are situated in the favored
zones. And, the claim • is a reason-
ably just one and the demand for
similar service reasonable.
But driving over the, average con-
cession road makes orie wonder how
.this demand can be met. No snow
removing equipment, however pow-
erful, can keep a concession road op-
en that only has a ten -foot surface
without shoulders. And until these
roads are widened, the concession
farmer is not going to get much
benefit for the taxes he spends on
snow removal.
Widening the roads would cost
money, of course, but so does snow
plowing, so why put the cart before
the horse? There is another point,
about the concession road that
should receive some attention, not
only by the councils, but by the
farmers themselves. If these roads '
were widened, properly drained and
shoulders properly levelled, it would
not only simplify and cheapen the
cost of open roads in winter, but
would make the. new mechanical
equipment available for cutting the
grass and weeds from fence to fence
in summer. And there is a desper-
ate need for some such work as that.
•
Now It Can Be Told -
Now it can be told the Parmer
family, of 'Camden Town, London,,:.
has admitted that one of Britain's
wartime failures was their am-
bitious failure to breed red, white
and blue mice.
This family had taken on the job
of producing its patriotic victory
mouse in time for the encs of the war.
But whether they would have been
satisfied with any combination of the
three. colors or aimed at a - pattern
of the Union Jack is not told.
But after all the possibility of pro-
ducing such a mouse is not as crazy`
as it sounds, in the light of what
rabbit breeder& have been able to
accomplish in spite of the war. But
finding a useful purpose for 'a red,
white and blue mouse is a little more
doubtful.
But behind the failure of this,
English family there is a moral
pointed by the attempt. It is the
moral of how an intense interest in
and love of animals of the people of
Britain helped them Weather the
destruction of many of their cities
and towns during the early blitz,
and many other trials of war.
Thousands of London and other
veterans when under bombing have
told how they were able to keep go-
ing by keeping on undismayed with
their ordinary or extraordinary
hobbies, like trying to breed Union
Jack marked mice, or even red,
white and blue ones.

As True As You Sap It
The Boston Globe says the agricul-
.turalist knows there'll always be a
farm problem, but he never knows
from one year to the next what it
will be.
That's as true as you say it. Thi
year the farmer had the -crops and
the prices. The problem was the
help. Next year he may have the
help or the machinery equivalent,
and the prices. The problem may be
the crop.
This year he has the cattle and
hogs, but says the packers are in
league to keep down the prices. Next
year the packers may be boosting
the prices sky high, and the farmer
may have no crops and no pasture
to raise livestock `on.
This was only a fair bean year,
but the price was high. Next year
may be a bumper bean year, but the
beak buyers may decide they don't..
want them at any price.
This year the country is flooded
with chickens, and the prices of eggs -
and poultry are dropping. Next
year many farmers may go out of
the chicken business, only- to find,
out too late that there is going to
be a booming market.
Every year there is the problem of
veavther, And so it - goes.• If the

Mrs. Phil suddenly realized the,
other flay that the woodpile in the
backyard had gone down to chips and
stray limbs, branches and poles gath-
ered 'up in the orchard, plus a few
stray rails that should have been cut
up before. The imperial edict was
issued: "The wood must be brought
up from the woods." There was no
argument possible. I had to simply
drop everything else and start haul-
ing wood from the buzz -pile in the
clearing at the edge of the woods.
Last spring the wood was buzzed
up into convenient 'lengths. It was
mostly tops from some of the older
trees we sold for timber last winter
and we have a handsome pile of it.
All summer long I have been intend-
ing to bring it up, heaving the small -
et ones into the woodshed and piling
the larger blocks in the lee of the
back woodshed. The smaller ones
will be used for the, kitchen range
and the blocks are destined to go
into the heater in the front room.
I have just as much pride as any
country -born man in a good woodpile.
I guess it's inherited from the"'early
days when a well -stocked larder and
a pile of wood were insurance against
the bleak winters. Somehow or other
I never seem to manage any more to
get the wood up neatly piled in long,
rows behind the house. I can well
remember the glow of pride when
someone would drive into the back
-yard and look at the wood and say,
"Nice pile of wood there, Phil I
guess• you won't be cold this winte?'."
During these past few years the wOod
has been left in a, heap from the buzz-
ing -and 'then brought in after we
have our .first Cold snap. One year I
had to fumble around in the ice and
snow and haul it up and then listen
in mortification as its sizzled and spat
when it was being burned.
There's something about woodpiles.
Maybe it's the little bugs and insects
that keep running around in conster-
nation as yen start breaking up the
pile that served all summer as a re-
fuge for them. It could be the smell
of sawdust that seems to come back
as you scuff through the pile of it.
There's a dry, clean smell about
wood. Your hands get rough and
sometimes you get splinters in your
fingers.
This business of cutting and haul-
ing firewood is a task that doesn't
get you anywhere. It comes back each
year and the hungry stoves will take
it just as fast as you can feed it in.
You have to cut it and 'there's such
a lot of handling and piling to be
clone. I've even thought of having a
big hopper built on the side of the
house and then getting a machine to
grind the ,wood up so that it would
feed right into the stove. 'It would be
something like they have in "B'ritish
Columbia in parts where they use
sawdust.
On the other hand, on a cold win-
try day when the wind swirls the
snow around the eaves, a maple or
beech block is a mighty comfortable
thing to have.

Huron Federation Of
Agriculture --Farm News
Report To Holders of • Forage Crop
Participation Certificates
The Special Products Board, in its
capacity of sole exporter of seeds of
alsike, red. clover, alfalfa and alsike-
white clover mixture, makes the fol-
lowing report to producers following
fts second year's operation.
In order to ..maintain and, if pos-
sible, increase the production of these
forage crops seeds, the government
guaranteed a minimum value on the
certificates issued on the 1944 crop
of 5c per pound on alsike, alfalfa,
and alsike-white clover, and 3c per
pound on red clover. In addition, if
the profits made on the export of any
of these seeds exceeded the above
guaranteed values, the payments to
producers would be correspondingly
increased.
The alsike crop continued to be
disappointing and only a very small
quantity could be spared for export.
Consequently, the profits earned on
the export of this seed were below
the guaranteed value per pound of
the certificates, and the Dominion
treasury will make up the deficiency.
The picture on red clover and al-
falfa is mach more satisfactory. Ex-
ports were relatively substantial, and
the export profits exceeded the gov-
ernment guaranteed value of the cer-
tificates. This additional profit is be-
ing returned to producers.
Alsike—Quantity covered by partic-
ipation certificates, 2,017,165 lbs.;
quantity exported, 123,450 lbs.; total
profit obtained from export, $20,-
162.80; value of participation certifi-
cates per lb., 5c.
Red Clover—Quantity covered «by
participation certificates, 7,970,841
lbs,; quantity exported, 2,418,800 lbs.;
total profit ,obtained from export,
$322,410.39; value of participation
Certificates per lb., 4.04c.
`Alfalfa—Quantity covered by par-
ticipation certificates, 9,905,763 lbs.;
quantity exported, 5,126,040 lbs.; to-
tal profit obtained from export, $763,-
167.66; value of participation certifi-
cates, per lb., 7.7c.
A separate cheque is being issued
for each participation certificate on
which payment is due. Consequently,
those who are entitled to more than
one cheque may receive these at dif-
ferent times, accompanied in each
case by a copy of tiii's"'••repdrt., • •
The Board strongly advises produc-
ers, in their own interests, to market
their seeds early this Season. To ar-
rive. at overseas destinations and be
distributed bi time for next spring's
seeding, shipments of most kinds of
seed Should be made from Canada, not
later than the end of 1)eember. The

The Ontario Bean Growers' Marketing
Board
Your local board, as instsructed by
the Bean Growers' Committee, has
carried on negotiations with the .Gov-
ernment and with local dealers in
beans, with the view of having all
beanssold on Government grade.
Please be advised that the Govern-
ment was prepared to put into effect
compulsy grading but they did not
see fit to accept the recommendation
of the local board in respect toprices
and differentials between grades. It
was the feeling of your representa-
tives that the ceiling prices should
be advanced for the two top grades
if compulsory grading was to be put
into effect. And in this respect the
Government did not concur. In view
of the fact that all parties could not
agree, compulsory grading will not be
put into effect this year.
No doubt you have enquiries from
time to time repayment of the par-
ticipation certificates. We have just
been advised by representatives of
the Special Products Board,- Ottawa,
that there will be a delay in payment
of the participation certificates due
to lack of clerical help and equip-
ment for getting out the cheques.
Our advice from Ottawa is to the ef-
fect that 440,000 bushels of beans
were exported; total money to be
Paid in participation certificates is
$221,000,00. In other words the pay-
ment per bushel should be a fraction
better than 18- cents.
There will be no participation cer-
tificates on sales from the 1945 crop.
There is, however, an increase in
subsidy of from 500 to 75c per bushel
in lieu of the - participation certifi-
cates. Accordingly, growers returns
from sales on 1 lb. pick beans will
be a definite $2.75 per bushel instead
of $2.50 plus ;participation in export
sales as was the case in 1944. You
will appreciate- that $2.75 per bushel
on the basis of 1 lb. pickers is not a
fixed price and ' that competition
amongst buyers might result in pric-
es slightly in excess of $2.'75.
You will be interested in knowing
that variety test plots were carried
out under the direction of Professor
J. C. Steckley at Ailsd, Craig and in
the Helisall district. The results of.
these tests will be announced' during
the early„ winter months.
It is too early to say definitely the
amount of registered seed that the
Board will have available for distri-
bution next year but we expeot that
there will be at Least -2,000 bushels.
Parti Ulars regarding distribution
wilt t o announced later. Yours very
truly, ;l's A. Garner, Acting Secretary.
