Kent and Lambton counties. Canning pea yield has been cut as much as a half. At least 50 per cent of the Mid- delsex soybean crop is reported threatened as also are field beans, sugar beets and grants. The drought is characterized by its spottiness in the eastern and northern parts of Middlesex, and in some western sections. - 'While peas. beans and pastures the Kerwood. Appin, Glencoe and Alvinston areas have not had a good rain since early May, farms a few miles away, such as around Arkona, Forest, Parkhill and the London area are green from abun- dant rains. Gilles De Putter, vice hairman of the Soybean Growers Marketing Board, stated that at least 50 per cent of the county's soybeans are seriously affected. The extended dry spell has handicapped germina- tion, stunted growth and many crops are not yet above the ground. You can go further, faster, if you have money on hand.

Beets Affected He said sugar beet growers also are being affected seriously. Lorne Dodge, of Kerwood, also a member of the Marketing Board, reported that the most serious ef- fects of the drought in his area are in the canning pea crop. "Some early ones were not good enough to harvest and I don't think anyone turned more than a half - ton to the acre. The usual harvest is from a ton to two tons an acre," he said. The late peas. due for harvest within the next 10 days, are also badly hit. Mr. Dodge estimated har- vests would be cut from an aver- age of about two tons to a ton and a quarter per acre. Field beans now up four or five inches are starting to dry up and corn is showing signs of curling, he said. Mr. Dodge said the drought area extends south and west of him. "In Arkona and Forest they have had lots of rain, while we here have not had enough to make the ground sticky since the beginning of plant- ing." lant- ing." 'Like 1934 Drought Fraser McFarlane, at Ailsa Craig, compares the pastures to the con- ditions of 1934. "They are badly burned up. Spring grain is quite short. It will be long enough to cut 1 think, but there is going to be no fill to it unless we get lots of rain soon." he said. W K. Riddell, Middlesex agricul- tural representative, said that pas- tures in the western townships are dry and need rain badly. "The drought conditions are spotty. It is serious for a lot of growers. Some of the soybean growers are seriously concerned." LADIES: READ THIS ! Unwanted hair removed permanently from face, arta, legs, with Egyptian Mieopile. Harmless — leaves skin soft and smooth..
