The heavy frosts last week caused considerable damage to field's of corn and to several fields, of beans that were sownlate and thus were not fee enough advenced in maturfty to stand' such low temperatures, according to Agricultural Representative LeRoy G. Brown. The beah crop in general, however, did pot suffer it m the frost and 'most field,s are eit er pull- ed; or in the barn.. The reeen rains have caused considerable diffi- culty in certain areas where farmers are trying to cut and harvest fields: of corn on low-lying land. In many cases it will take several dry days before binders and tractors can oper ate in -some, of 'these fields.

The acreage of oil flax 6eing pro- duced in the County this year is con- siderably higher then for any other previous year. Most of the crops heve reached, maturity' in sufficient time to avoid damage by early frosts and the Yields from some of the fields already threshed and combined have been quite high considering the cool backward+ weather, which prevailed during the seeding period.. Some dif- ficulty is being experienced in har- vesting fields still 'unthreshed, due te the heavy rainfall which has come during the last two weeks.

Toronto, Sept. 25, 1947. • The Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir; t wee attracted by the following statement credited to yo-ur editorial -columne in your dailye con- temporary, 'London Free Press: "The farmer today is not worreing about increased entiductiorld' He" re 'Waiving that,for someone else to vorry about. Nor can you blame him mech. His life has never been a bed ef down, but now he is doing very well indeed. And he is content to leave well en- ough alone. There eeems to be much sense in that too." T,he above was smart news to me, because I had been for some time under the impression that the rising costs for everything the farmer has' to buy, were not only worrying our fatm brethren; but, also, taking most of theadvantage of increased valua- tions for the stuff the farmer sells. However, you -are doubtless in close, touch with conditions down, on the farm, and I am prepared to accept the consfe'reeble assurance at its .face velue. I sincerely hope that you are as, enthusiastically opposed, to $3:00 My conviction that such upaurging prices can only end in trouble—glut- ted markets, pre -sale prices. .teind if this trend is permitted to develop among the two-thirds , of the human family still at work in the world's fields, depression and hard times 4n the towiis and cities could not be far behind.
