There are a number of tests being carried out in ever county, and your agricultural rep- resentative will be glad to inform you, just where these plots are situated and the nature of the projects, ,By observing varieties included in local tests, farmers will leant their suitability to their own district; their resistance to rust, strength and length of straw, maturity and leafiness, The best local varieties are what the farm, er should grow. They will mean more money for him and more food for Britain, • Visit your local projects as often as possible, advises Mr, MacLeod. Injured While Swimming Kenneth Dainm, younger son of Mr, and Mrs. I-L H. Dentin, received a nasty gash while swimming et the Truax race. "Kenny", who is an ex- pert swimmer, dove into the water, and going deeper than usual, struck a nail protruding from the boards at the bot- tom of the race, The spike inflicted a nasty gash in his adomen and it was necessary to rush the injured youth to the Bruce County Hospital where the gaping wound was sewn up, eight stitches being required to close the gash. — Walkerton Herald Times, Cars Meet Head On Motor cars driven by Mr. John Oberle, Con. 13, Carrick, and Mrs. Isidore Freiburger of the 14th conces- sion met in a head-on collision op- posite Otto Grubb's farm on the 15th concession of Carrick. Mrs, Pauline Oberle, mother of John, received a painful injury on her face and head, and Mrs. John Oberle was badly bruised about the lower limbs. Both cars were seriously damaged. Neither machine was travelling at any great speed, or the result would have been much more serious. The cars met on the crest of a grade and neither driver knew of the other's approach until it was too late to turn out to avoid collision. — Mildmay Gazette. Deer Trapped In Pool On Monday morning, a full grown deer became trapped in the stilling pool below the Fergus dam, and it was over an hour before it was able to get out again and go away. Caretaker Len Smith saw the deer coming up the river with two dogs chasing it. The deer headed for the centre of the dam, jumped the five- foot wall which holds back the water in the stilling pool, and then found itself trapped. It had been able to get over the vertical side of the wall but was unable to scramble up the other side, which has a slope to it, and which was slippery. Several at- tempts resulted only in skinned knees. The dogs were chased away' with stones but the deer remained but was unable to scramble up the 38-foot con- crete spillway of the dam, over which a few inches of water were flowing. —Fergus New Record.

Period July 13 To August 2 A detailed list of wholesale beef price ceilings, covering 28 different cuts of beef and applicable in 15 zones across Canada, was announced by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, ef- fective during the period July July 13 to Aug. 2, inclusive. The order, issued by Hon. J. GI Tag- gart, foeds administrator 'of the board, follows an order issued last month which prescribed maximum prices at which processors and. wholesalers might sell carcasses, sides or quarters of beef. The new order provides tighter con- trol of beef prices by setting up max- imum prices for the various cuts. In each case the maximum prices apply to top quality beef in each class desig- nated, Beef of lower quality, the an- nouncement said, is to be sold by pro- cessors and wholesalers "at reason- able reductions from such prices." The board also recalled that retail- ers are prohibited by last month's order from paying more than the max- imum wholesale price, and that their selling prices to consumers must not, on the average, exceed the average de- livered cost of carcasses, sides, quart- ers or cuts, plus whatever markup they used in the basic price ceiling period, Sept. 15-Oct. 11 last. Schedule of Prices Accompanying the new beef control order is a schedule of prices for the 28 different cuts, varied in 15 zones across the Dominion. These zones were defined in the previous order. The schedule lists seven hindquart- ers boneless cuts and six frontquarter boneless cuts, prices also varying ac- cording to the classification of the car- cass. There is one set of prices for baby, yearling, steer or heifer, and an- other for cow or bull. The schedule shows that highest prices are for tenderloin front baby beef yearling steer or heifer. Whole- sale price per pound of this cut ranges front 61 tents in most of the Mari- times and part of Quebec to 51 cents in three Prairie zones, Prices in Out- atio ranges from 6014 to 581.4 cents. Prices in British Columbia vary front 59 to 60111 dents. Lowest prices apply to the flank cut from hindquarters of bull or cow. Wholesale price per pound of this. bone-in cut ranges front 8112 to nine cents in the Maritimes; Star to nine cents in Quebec Province; 7% to 8% cents in Ontario; 1A.1 cents hi the Prairie Provinces and 8 to 8% in Brit- sh Columbia. A hindquarter steak piece front V ung cattle costs 28% to 24% cents r poural in the Maritimes; 2.31,4 to 2411 cents in Otiebee Province; 28 to 24 cents in Ontario; 2211 cents On the Prairies and :28% to 24 cents in Brit, ish Columbia. b+teat Continue Making Staples Continued stianufacture of 1001,Pri e. ist in Auburn, the testator directs that the property be sold and the proceeds given to the Presbyterian Church in Canada, to be used to establish a scholarship for Knox College to assist some student in the preparation for the ministry. Large Chain At Goderich Gone A familiar sight to those who travel the Bluewater highway, the historic 1,100 foot, 14-ton marine chain that has served as a guard rail in Saltford Hill at the northerly approach to God- erich these many years was removed by civic workmen and will eventually find its way into the melting pot to provide metal for tanks for Canada's fighting army. The chain was not re- moved without a protest from the town of Goderich to the Province of Ontario, 'which fell heir to the chain when it took over the highway No. 21. The province eventually agreed to re- lease the chain to the town provided the latter dismantled it and sold it for salvage purposes. 1 NEWS of the DISTRICT tion in volume of goods in the lower price range is approved only if; due to unavoidable circumstances, such as inability to obtain materials or a 'Gov- ernment order restricting production. Ceiling Evasion Prohibited Evasion of the price ceiling by marketing new or modified products or changing trade descriptions is pro- hibited. For products substantially different in kind or quality from lines already on the market a marimum price or formula must be established by an administrator for the board before the goods are sold. This price will be appropriate in relation to the price and relative value of comparable goods, the board's an- nouncement said. The fact that one article costs more to produce than an- other will not alone justify a higher price. Where any new or modified pro- duct ds substituted for or sold in place of any other product the manufactur- er is to indicate this to all his custom- ers, giving trade descriptions of both the product displaced and the modi- fied one. 1,080 ONT. FARMERS ARE. EXPERIMENTING Clinton Flier Killer In Action Mr. and. Mrs. E. L. Mitten, Clinton, received a cable from England advis- ing them of the death overseas of their son, Ernest S.111fittell, a flight observ- er in the R.C.A.F. The cablegram stated that he was killed in action. Ernest was his parents' only child. He eras 22 years of age and was born in Clinton in 1920. He was an electrician and radio mechanic in civil life, and enlisted and was accepted for service in the air force in 1940. He is the first battle casualty from Clinton centre. Cares For Injured Deer John F. Woodland, 2nd line, east, Mono, has made room in his barn for an unusual occupant. The other day Mr. Woodland spied a young fawn in one of his fields. The four-weeks- old animal had a bad limp, so with the "be kind to dumb animals" thought uppermost in his mind Mr. Woodland captured it and, taking it to his barn, cleared out a stall for it. The fawn, evidently injured in some manner, is unable to move its hindquarters, but seems quite content in its new en- vironment. Mr. Woodland is feeding the little animal a diet of milk, lettuce and grass. — Orangeville Banner lines of staple goods is compulsory under an order effective July 13, an- nounced last night by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The announcement said there was a danger that living costs might be affected by the disappearance of low- price lines of staple goods, even though there was no violation of the., price ceiling. The same policy is applied to sellers other than manufacturers, and they are requiredto regulate their purchas- es so as to continue selling consumer goods in the same price range as dur- ing the corresponding seasons last year. To meet this condition the board has adopted a policy that manufactur- ers of consumer goods must continue to produce and sell products of the same or substantially similar kind and quality, and in the same or approxim- ately the same price ranges as those produced and sold in the correspond- ing period of 1941. There is no objection to their de- creasing the proportion of goods in the higher price range but any reduc- Ont. Crop Improvement Association Potent and Powerful Factor In In- creased Wartime Crop Production One of the most potent and power- ful factors in increased wartime crop production in ,Ontario is the Ontario Crop Improvement Association, with 48 branches throughout the province. These county associations have a total membership of over 5000 with 1,080 farmers and junior farmers us- ing their own land to conduct variety tests with oats, wheat, barley open and hybrid corn, soy beans, potatoes, turn- ips etc. They are also conducting projects in summer and fall pasture mixtures, renovation of perrdanent ,pastures, testing new varieties of cer- eal and new strains of clovers and grasses, introduction and multiplica- tion of seed of proven varieties, soil fertility tests including the plowing down of green manure crops, use of Is Your House SAFE AFTER DARK?
