(Special to The Times Advocate)
Food was given high billing

spent went for f"od and bever-

Each community was ex•

its purchases of food, automo-

Saving Labor
Vital On Farm
The saving of labor is impor-
tant, and especially so on a
dairy faun where, because the
industry, is highly , competitive,
labor costs can mean the dif-
ference between success and
failure.
In this day of small marginal
profits, the farmer must strive
to economize in .his efforts,
rather than follow the laborious
routines practised by his father
and grandfather. Prof, Frank
"Theakston, Department of Agri-
culture. Engineering, Ontario Ag-
ricultural College, advises that
many simple devices are avail-
able, or can be constructed
which will greatly reduce the
labor necessary on a dairy farm
The movement of materials
and eq,uipinent, especially in the
feeding operation, constitutes a
good share of the labor, Since
feed is usually heavy or awkward
to move, simple methods should
be devised for this job. Self.
feeding devices' are of great as-
sistance and many farmers have
created their own scleteetlers,

grocery stores, bakeries, deli-

in the year. It exceeded the 1956
figure of 36,215,000.
This was equivalent to a heal-

lation,
Not included is the amount

This ability to indulge in more
and better food is one sign of
the trend rowand more luxurious
living. It was made possible py
better incomes in 1957.
Locally,14
cents out of every
retail dollar was spent for food.
To varyingg degrees, other re.

the big spending done in Huron
County.

'Garr Fertilizer
More Popular
A noticeable increase in sales
of both anhydrous ammonia and
equipment for its application
indicates a record number of
farmers are switching to fall
fertilization.
A. comparatively
recent devel-
opment, fall fertilization is rec-
ommended by many agricultur-
ists as a practical technique to
increase yields for less cost and
effort. The evidence is that a
growing number of progressise
farmers are adopting, the recom-
mendation.
The nitrogen fertilizer that
seems best suited to fall fertiliza-
tion is the gaseous type, anhyd-
rous ammonia. Containing the
highest nitrogen content of all
forms of fertilizers. it is applied
by a machine which injects the
gas into the soil.
