ORDER AND ACCEPT FERTILIZERS NOW For the threefold purpose of avoid- ing peak labour loads in the fertilizer plants preventing overloading trans- portation facilities, and relieving the., storage situation, Canadian farmers are urged to make immediate arrange- ments for the fertilizers they will need next spring and to accept delivery at the earliest possible moment particu- larly during the winter months. The problem at, the moment is to keep fertilizers moving from the plants in order to enable the manufacturers to meet the farmers' needs as far as pos- sible and ensure even distribution to all. .G. S. Peart, Fertilizer Administra- tor, points out that no one can accur- ,ately estimate the extent of the de- mand that may develop in he coming season, but those who are best in- formed agree that it will be the heaviest on record, and the supply may not be sufficient. For these reasons, the farmer who orders early and ac- cepts early delivery will be more cer- tain of getting what he wants and lie will have it on hand when the time comes to use it. DON'T DELAY ORDERS FOR SEED POTATOES Export demand for Canadian Foun- dation, Foundation A, and Certified seed potatoes is exceptionally strong this season, the Agriculture Depart- ment states. The Department there- fore advises potato growers to order their 1944 seed potato requirements without delay. Supplies of Founda- tion and Foundation A seed for seed potato growers, and of Certified seed for table stock growers, are being held in Canada to meet estimated do- mestic demands. In fairness to pro- ducers, and in the interests of the in- dustry, however, the export of seed potatoes not sold to Canadian dealers or growers, will be permitted before it is too late to supply export markets. The main objective of the seed po- tato certification service states the Department is to assist in the produc- tion of high quality seed for Canadian potato growers but it is essential that orders should be placed while supplies are still available.

A new pasteur- ization plant had been installed, a sun porch and side-walks built this year. He said the Durham cows were a fine herd, there were also 5 holsteins. 124 pullets which were laying 90 to 105 eggs per day. He told of the convention of County Home officials held at Goderich this year and that they had visited the County/ Home, Centralia Airport and Grand Bend. The township council are not allow- ed to give war grants he said, but the county had given % mill, $27,500 to the Red Cross and other war societies, airports etc. He said a deputation had visited the council in November re- garding the use of health nurses in the county. This was left to the Warden's committee to bring in a re- port. He later said that he was not yet in a position to say how he would vote on this matter. He said the Pro- vincial health scheme was reported in detail 'in the December issue of the Municipal World. He thanked the council for their co-operation during the year and said he would do the best he could in the interests of the township in the coin- ing year. James Michie Mr. Michie regretted the poor at- tendance. He said he had been four years on the council, the longest of any of the present councillors. The board had got along well to-.getter and did what they deemed best. He re- gretted that there are so many back taxes about $3336,00. He felt that at present these should be paid more promptly. He felt some change was needed in the assessment as some places were not assessed enough in comparison to others. The road sides had been neglected and weeds and brush were a problem. Each patrol- man was allowed $20.00 for this} work but' only $46.00 was used M. place of about $250.00. Something would have to be done regarding this matter and asked for greater co-operation from the farmers. He expressed his appreciation of the confidence placed in him, C. R. Coultes I believe that the only way to get the work on the road sides ,done is for council to do it themselves, Mr. Coultes said. He advocated the pin-- chasing of machinery for this purpose. He told of the purchase of $15,000 in Victory Bonds and said it would help out the Victory Loans at little cost. He spoke of the small attendance and said there was not much interest. He urged the ratepayers to attend the school section meetings as the school trustees spent much of the money col- lected by the council. He wished all the compliments of the season. Harvey Johnston He thanked the people for their support at the election last year and for their continued confidence, He said that one of the councils first duties was the issuing of the debent- ures for IltOWntewn school and that the 'school was a credit to the coin- inunity. He said that the new asses. s'or had discharged his 'duties faith- fully. Many drains and ditches need repair ihe reported, but labor Was The Avro York, a transport version of the Lancaster llo 'ober, is a I igh Wing four-engioed monoplane with a wing span of 102 feet and an overal length of Is feet. Four Rolls *Royce Merlin liquid-cooled engines arc installed 4 bove, the Avro York in flight. scarce. One contract let last year had just been started this fall and was not completed. The Bluevale to the station road had been put back on the township he said, and this would be an expensive piece of road in upkeep. There was $750 more than in 1942 spent on resurfacing and $100 more on culverts he said. There was much damage to the roads in the south also bridges than in the north at the time of the floods. Many bridges will have to be repaired or replaced, he said. In Grey they used a power mower on road sides. Maybe another year we should allow the farmers so much to cut weeds. Brush should be pulled when ground is soft he said, A lot could be done in a day under these circumstances. He also spoke of the arrears of taxes and penalty had been put on to try and have people pay taxes when due. I will do my best to serve you in the coming year, he said. Wm. Speir He thanked the people for the sup- port given him last year at the elec- tion and hoped for continued support. Fie said that Mr. and Mn,g Ab. Proc- ter were• that day celebrating their golden wedding and he moved that the meeting send their congratulations which was later done when Mr. ‘fichie seconded his motion. I am a new member and only feel- ing my way, but I have had the good co-operation of the other members of the council and they explained all the questions that I asked, he said. All ditch work done in the north-east of the township this year he said. Work on Mustard drain satisfactory but felt that tiles were plugged. A lot of work will have to be done on ditches he said. The rains had done a lot of damage to culverts and bridges, he said, and advocated building the wings in a different way. He hoped for bet- ter results in brush pulling than we have had. Pulling the brush woul& be the proper thing he thought. He felt the penalty on taxes was the' proper system, He thanked his mover and seconder and hoped for a better year in many ways than last year. The treasurer, Nelson Higgins, gave an explanation of the financiat, report, and R. Currie, the road super- intendent, told of the work done in his.- department during the year. The expenditure on the roads was' $10,980.94 of which $3,179.57 was spent on the Scott and Haggitt bridges. Other speakers included Ex-Reeve...: Francis Duncan, Ex-Reeve, W. J. Henlerson, R. 'j, Bowman, Reeve oE Brussels, and W. W. Armstrong, Spoke on Hog Production Following the regular meeting of the ratepayers, Councillor Harvey- Johnston took the chair as president of the Morris Unit of the Federation of Agriculture. He called upon C, Coultes to tell of the meeting of the Hog Producers held in Toronto earl- ier in the- month. This meeting was:. called Mr. Coultes said, to forestall if possible the 'liquidation of breeding sows. He said that the president of . the Federation of Agriculture urge& that the Hog Production Association, be organized in each county and that the fee be taken from the sale of hogs.. If50 per cent of the hog producers sign for this system all producers wilk come und4r the scheme, he said. Re said that a two cent raise'in the price of hogs was recommended and agreed upon by Mr. 'Gardiner, but that the increase did not amount to this, as it was only 35c in Ontario and 55e Montreal. If something was riot done at once he was of the opinion that hog production would be cut 50 per cent during 1944. If price not raised the liquidation of hogs would continue.. It is suggested that 5 cents per hog be used for organization purposes.
