Considerable numbers of Stoe
ber cattle have been purchased
during the week and also a num
ber df carloads of well-finished
cattle were marketed during the
week. Milk production is still be
ing well maintained for this
time of the year due mostly to
the fine condition of pastures.
Silo ,filling is in full swing. A
large proportion is being hand
led this year with corn harves-
ers. Bean harvesting also has
progressed fairly favourably dur
ing the past week but the qual
ity of the beans threshed to date
is not good with the percentage
of pickers being very high. Tur
nip shipments continue with most
shipments .being waxed. To date
the frost has not caused any
widespread damage to any crops
and a few farmers in earlier
areas report their husking corn
to be nearing maturity.
