Increasing Yields The application of a definite scbeme of crop rotation is being Lound an important factor In re- ducing feed costs. The chief ad - ,vantages, of such a practice are: (1) Maintaining and improving soil 'fertility, thus inereesin.g yields; (2) Assisting in weed control: (31 Asserting In the control of insect and crop diseesee by having various ,crops on fresh soil each year; and it makes a more even dis'trinutiot of labor throughout the year pos- sible, increasing ,tne yield per acre is one of the best ways of re. doting -cost of production, and in this respect crop rotation plays a real part.

Lamb Prices According to an announcement by the Canadian neat packing in• dustry, buyers of lambs in Ontario and the West, on and after Ji 29, 1957, will pay tw "" *^. more per pound for ewe and wether lambs than for buck lambs. Buy- ers may also pay up to one cent more per Lound for lambs of most desirable weights and of good quality than for lambs weighing over 90 and up to 110 pounds. Up to two cents more pre pound may be paid for Iambs w'eiglting ot'es 110 pounds. Unfinished and cult lambs will be paid for on the basis of their relative qualitd. As any abnormal marketing ate Mete prices. all lambs should be docked. and ail buck lambs cast• rated when 10 days to two weeks old as a sure means of eliminating the buck lamb from the market. The advantages of marketing ewe and wether lambs are many, the chief of which may be tabulate i under four heads.

A. Asquith of Auburn to the county council of Huron, and otlher items of historical value, featured the morning seselen of Huron council on Thursday. The portrait, which Is one and a half by two feet, shows the far- Panned colonizer and portrait seated at a desk, and is a reproduction of a pen sketch contained 1a •Fraser's Magazine, Edinburgih, 1n 1833. Mr, Aspuith told of leterviewing Col. F, L. Ford in Toronto, author of a biography of Dr. Dunlop, who expressed surprise that there was no portrait of the famous' legisla- tor in Goder'ich, and said a fine oil painting is poseessee by Stratford and is hanging in the library of that city, reproduced from one in the Academy of ltledicine in Toron- to. The latter bears the follotviug inscription, "William Dunlop, Este, M. R. C., Assistant Surgeon, 89th Regiment Lower Canada, Niagara Frontier, 1813-14; India 1815-20; Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence, University of Edinburgh; Warden of the For - este, Canada Company; Lt, -Col, First Huron.

P, for Huron Paeliament 0f Canada, 184145; Lit- 'teratuer, Colonizer, Patriot.” Reeve Bawwmen said he had seen the portrait in Stratford. He thought Huron county 'would do well to honor Dr, Dunlop in some way. The appreciation; of Huron was voiced by Warden Eckert to Mr, Asquith for the grit which will be suitably framed and hung in the county- building. Roy Patterson, county engineer, who bad been commissioned at the January session to make an ex- amination of Dr. Dunlop's tomb and surrounding lands in 'Colborne towship with a view to improving same, said the proper improvement of this historic spot will be effected by any change in ,the location of Highway No. 21, which may re- assume the road used by the trav- elers of Dr. Dunlop's time. 1f this be the case, access to the plot will be improved. Mr. Patterson had persuaded H. J. Moore, who is interested in the work of beautifying the roads, the construction of picnic and parking grounds and in the preservation of points of interest, under the De- partment of Highways, to look over the site, Eastern Ontario (Toronto East) A.11 fruit trees came through the mild winter in excellent condition but strewbel-riee in the extreme eastern counties suffered a con- siderable amount of winter killing from ice in patches that were not well covered with straw. Rainy weather has given some grounds to rear a heavy scab infestetio•t later .on, although sprays are be'ng ap- plied in most orchards according to spray schedule.
