Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. A hog loses exceSS heat through air mov,ement around the body, radiation from the body and through breathing. When the body produces more heat than can be dispelled, the body temperature rises. At 100 degrees, a hog„,. would have to take 20 more breaths a minute than it would at 80 degrees to cool its body to the same level. The average body heat of a hog, is 102.5 degrees. When it reaches 105 to 106 de:- grees, heat exhaustion and death can occur. • 'MT. Norrish says' a combin- ation of high humidity and high temperature cart be especially dangerous far hogs 'being trans- ported. The number of transit deaths will increase substan- tially. For this reason, he gives • the following tips to farmers transporting hogs in hot weather. - Try to ship the hogs in early morning to avoid the heat of the day. . Use 'a suitable bedding and - wet it down before loading. Don't use straw since it tends to act " as insulation. Wet sand is one measure. - Always try to Minimize stress on the hogs during the Various stages Of shipping. - Limit the_ number of hogs to allow for freer air circul- ation. - Ensure proper ventilation in the transport vehicle. - When stopping for any reason, try to leave the vehicle in the shade or where it can take advantage of air currents. As well as lowering swine deaths, says Mr. Norrish, these steps will ensure the animals arrive at market in good con- dition. Canada. Stand together. Understand together. It 4 860 grade school children stood in.below zero weather to lam this living flag. The true north, strong and free ... and together. How do we keep it that way? Well, the first step is for each of us to begin to understand our fellow Canadians. They may live a thousand miles away. .They may speak a different language. They may be Canadians, not by birth but by choice. And the more differeift they are, the, more understanding they -need, That's easy to say. But how do we do it? • Well, if'we want to keep our country. together, we hove to un- derstand that some Canadians need more help than others. That we cannot solve our problems un- less we help a-lot of Cdncidiaris to catch up. Is that too- much to ask? May- be we're stretched so thin from east to west that all we're capable of is caring only about ourselves in our own little backyard. But you know something . . if we ever let bur country come apart our own little backyard may be left standing there pretty lonely and confused. And then where are we? It's not easy to understand the other fellow. Especially if some- times it seems as though he doesn't understand you. •Yet one thing, is su're. There are a lot more people who want to understand and want to keep Canada together than those who would tear it apart, But it's' going to take time and we've got to start now.

Seaforth 348-8507 527-1097 Ontario's 1971 winter wheat acreage has been reduced by an estimated '0% because of winter and spring weather damage. K. A. Standing, secretary manager of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board re- leased results of board surveys which indicate a wide variance in damage.. He said reports range from nil to 50% and it would appear the hardest hit areas were in Lambton, Norfolk and Huron which experienced about 14%, 20% and 13% damage respectively. The two most southerly and larges producing counties, Essex and Kent experienced about 7% and 8% damage respectively. Mr. Standing said damage was caused by several factors which included some of the usual Men's Group Buys Church The former Presbyterian' Church in Auburn has been pur- chased by the Huron Christian Men's Association of Goderich and Wingham. The building now bears the name of "Huron Mens' Chapel" and the associationpro- poses to .hold Sunday evening services at 8:00 P.M employing minister's from •rarioas denom- inations as Well as a variety of vocal and instrumental groups. _Pleas_ for coMplete use of the facilities are not yet finalized.

The government did not conduct its usual May survey this year. Last year, according to government estimates, the total acreage harvested was 355,000 which averaged 43.9 bushels per acre for a total production vol- ume of 15,584,500 bushels. The board official said that on the ,basis of the last ten year average yield of 39.6 bushels per acre, "production would total about 14.6 million bushels this year. However, if last years yields were repeated,. production' could total over 16'million bushels. Average production , for the past ten year period was .1.5.9 million bushels.• Mr. Standing said in addition to the weather damage reports, there have been reports of wheat yellowing in the last two or three weeks. The condition is caused by mosaic virus which causes yellowing of. the lower leaves of the plants and results from cool weather and rapid growth. With improved growing -con- ditions the disease normally dis- appears. The greatest cold cure ever invented is payday, says our somewhat cynical boss.
