Richmond, London, manager, Richmond Hosiery Limited, whose local plant was damaged by fire on July 22: "In regard to the Fire Brigade getting the fire under control so ellieldY, we feel that the firemen should be complimented for the quick action taken in the control of this, as another ten minutas. would have destroyed the whole plant. Also the careful way in which they handled the water to avoid splashing the machines is also appreciated and Gommend- able. The writer would kindly ask you to -convey to the Fire Brigade our thanks for the quick action taken and also the Chief should • be complimented and thanked personally for keeping the loss. at •a minimum."

United States. The increase in subscription rate by 50 cents a year is necessitated by constantly -mounting production costs in the publishing business, of which the following figures are just one example: Newsprint, Per yon, Delivered in Clinton , 1938 $65.88 1941-42 78.30 1943 82.62 1944-45 86.94 1946 (Mary) 99.90 1946 (August) ....... 107,92i Increase since 1938 . 64 per cent The most recent intrease announced ii3y Canadian newsprint mills, following an earlier one in May, was a result of the elevation of the Canadian dollar to par. The $1.50 rate has been in effect for more than 13 years, despite any changes that might have taken place meanwhile in The NEWS -RECORD'S service to its read- ers. Prior to 1933, the subscription rate had berm $2 per year since 1919, so that in placing the aimual rate at $2, The NEWS -RECORD is just returning to the rate which prevailed for a period of 11 years. Of course, those who renew their subsc:riptions before September 1, • 1946, may do so at the old rate. Letters, containing remittances, must be postmarked not later than August 31, 1946. Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Dorrance Mark Golden Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Gordon B. Dorranee, ellcIfillop Township, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home Tuesday, A.ugust 6. They have resided -on the Dorrance homestead farm on the 5th concession almost all of their 50 years •of married life. A member of the pioneer faintly of McKillop, Mr. Dorrance has seen the township pass, through all its early stages of growth. His father, the late John Dorrance, came from Bel- fast, Ireland, about 90 years ago and cleared the bush on the farin on which Mr. and Mrs. Dorrance now live. Three uncles of Mr. Dorrance had pioneer farms on the 5th concession of McKillop. Mr. and Mrs. Dorrance were at home to their friends Tuesday after- noon and evening. Third Fire in a Row; This Time Only Rubbish The cry of "ferel.fire." again rang through the Mem shortly before four p•cock Wednesday afternoon as black smoke billowed skyward in the gen- eral vicinity of the Renal Hydro eub- station, near lerinceSe.a.ed Albert Sts, The stores were open and a large crowd soon gathered at the scene. It was the third fire in a rOW, the first two being the Richmond Hosiery fire on July 22, and the Hanover Trans- port fire on July 29. Clinton Volunteer Fire Brigade was quickly upon the scene, when it 'was discovered to be a pile of rubbish burning and making a big fuss over it. The application of a small hose and a little chemical succeeded in extinguishing the incipient blaze without any damage beng done, Plan Now For Next Year's Crop Of Winter Wheat, Advised Plans for next year's crop of win- ter wheat were discussed by LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton, acting agricultural representative for Huron County, in a radio broadcast Saturday noon, Aug- ust 3, as follows: At this time of year every farmer is interested in successfully harvest- ing the year's crop of wheat, oats, bar- ley and mixed grains. This year's crop is one of the best we have had for a number of years and the weather is very favourable. Harvest will be completed at an exceptionally early date arid another cycle will commence, This brings to mind our plans for next year's crop of winter wheat. Winter Wheat The growing of winter wheat in Ontariois confined very largely to the central and southwestern sections of the province. Most of the winter wheat grown in this section belongs to the class of White Winter, the chief variety being Dawson's Golden Chaff. From a trade standpoint, the grow- ing of as eew varieties as possible is very desirable, since it offers the market a more uniform product than if many varieties of unlike qualities and types were grown. In a recent survey, it was noted that in certain counties most of the whiter wheat that is marketed grades either red winter or red and white winter mixed., The pereentaie of these ears is large. Certain customers prefee red var- ieties for special purposes, which is the chief justification for the produe- tion of such vadeties in the province. It is strongly urged, however, that the growing of these red varieties be localized as far as possible. Thoroughness of soil preparation measures the success of wheat pro- duction. No crop shows the disad- vantages, of poorly drained soil as dearly as does wheat. For the ger- mination of any seed, warmth, air and moisture are absolutely necessary. If wheat is planted in a poorly drained soil, the water shuts out a large amount of air, and evaporation of soil moisture lowers the temperatures of the soil. Hence, undrained soil re -acts in two ways to hiuder the early growth of wheat. If the ground is plowed very shallow and is hard and impervioue, the tiny rootlet of .the plant find great difficulty in pushing through the soil. The result is that root growth is shallow and s***Nivm**ww....4...0.,•••••••• Town Council - , In Action Clinton Town Council heed its regu- lar Augaet meeting in the Town Council Chamber last evening with r A MaYbJ.

This means that the crop is very easily injured by dry weather and frosts. It is generally conceded to be good practise to plow for winter wheat as early as possible after the previous crap has been removed. This allows the soil to become compact before the seed is sown, prevents -weeds from going to seed, and conserves the soil moistures by preventing the growth of vegetation, by the pulverization of the surface soil by enabling more of the rainfall to be ,absterbed. In this connection the working of the surface soil after each heavy rainfall, pre- ferably with a saving -tooth harrow. is extremely desirable to preeent sur- face evaporation. Generally speaking, plowing less than four inches or more than eight inches deep, has not been found de- sirable, Within and even beyond these extremes the depth of plowing should vary with the cheracter of the soil and the subsoil, but no specific rules can be laid down. Subseiling has not been found to have any great ad- vantage and in some cases the yield has been reduced. The proper time to sow wheat de- pends upon climatic conditions, the fertility of the soil bed, the liability to injury from the Hessian Fly and perhaps slightly upon variety. , In some localities, early sown wheat is subject to attack from the Hessian Ply. When such attacks are 1111/11111- ent, they may be avoided, by concerted action among farmers of a neighbour- hood, by later sowing, especially if delayed until them is a fairly sharp frost, and also by sowing early sonic strips of wheat where the Hessian Fly will congregate and may he de. stroyed by plowing under the wheat. • It is very difficult to state any definite date of sowing, as the best time for any given locality. Very much depends on the season prior to and after seeding. It may be said as a general rule, although late sowing is often as good as early sowing, it is seldom better while eerily sowing is often better than late sowing. • The more fertile the soil, the later tbo seeding may be done with safety, as the rich soil produces the growth needed in a shorter time. ' Whiter wheat should be sown suf- ficiently early in the fall to ensure; a• good root development and a top (Continued 00 Page Five) * 5 5 Sell Old Equipment Considerable discussion arose over the disposal of old equipment, ma - chime", sleighs and stoves, and the Property Cornenitee was authorized to use its own judgment in sale price of such material. * * * Debenture Printing Council decided to accept the tend- er of CLINTON NEWS -RECORD for supplying and printing the sewer- age debentures, if price is in keeping with competitive bids. Heavy Loss Suffered In Barn and Contents The barn of Mr. and Mrs. William Taylor, who reside one mile north of Zurich, was destroyed by fire, togeth- er with implements and the semen's crop of hay and grain. Taylor and the boys were loading manure at the east end of the barn when one of the boys noticed the structure was on fire. The alarm was sounded and Zurich fire brigade called but by the time they arrived the barn was down. Loss was heavy.
