Murray Writes, Dauphin, Manitoba, September 28. To the Seaforth News. Some time has passed since you have heard anything from this scribe, not that I have not been thinking of you and all my friends and relatives In Huron County and its surround- ings, but rather, because of the busy times we are passing through. Dau- phin has two very large Airport Schools; No. 7 being a Bombing and Gunning School, and No. 10 a Plying and Mechanical School, However, I do not intend to dwell in any way on the War, as we hear enough of that and are only lookin'g forward to Vic- tory and a new world thereafter, which is sure to come. The crops in general here this year were the most promising in many years, but a shOrt time prior to vat- ting a dreadful rain and wind storm came and twisted and tangled the crops in a terrible condition which made cutting very difficult And ow- ing to the lateness' of the crop and shortage of labor, the farm work fell away behind all recent years by at least a month. q'hen just as thresh- ing got nicely under way, wet wea- ther set in and has continued wet up to the thne of this writing. For the last five days ithas been freezing hard at nights and flurries of snow both day and night. Much of the grain was sprouted in the stook prior to this cold spell and now there is frozen wheat in the stook so that most of the unthreshed grain will he feed. And that is not all. A blight hit our potato crop reducing it to less than a half crop. Right at this point I might add that in writing letters to friends in the east during the latter part of June and early July, I men- tioned the fact "that Dauphin Dist- rict would have many big potato yarns to spin this fall," and so it will, but it's the reverse of what I had expected to be telling. The prospects were so bright at that time for a wonderful crop of potatoee, and this has brought to mind a little story I might tell at this juncture: An Eng- lishman touring in the IL S. and when in Chicago he met the Mayor and Aldermen of the city who enter- tained him and in showing him about the city one of the Aldermen who was in charge decided to have a little fun,. at the expense of the -green Einglish man, and was showing him through a plant where they kill hogs and manufacture sausage, etc. The Alder- man said, "This is a new machine and invention. The hogs are driven through that enclosure into that hop- per on top of the machine when the machine takes hold and does its work of killing, dressing and the sausages come out here all ready for market and the hide goes out on the other side all ready manufactured into sad- dles and the like. 'What do you think of it?" "Well," says the green Eng- lishman, "It is astonishing, but clo you know, sir, that we have had this kindof a machine in England for 35 years, the only difference being that i2. the sausages are not up to the mark, we put them back into the hopper, reverse the machine and be - Revell', or not the hogs come running back out alive again!" Now, coming back to business agaip, corn was at least one month later this year than usual owing to a cola and wet spring and early sum, mer, but is a very good arop. Roots and vegetables, other than potatoes, are good and all kinds of fruit, both wild and cultivated, have been the best for years. The storage of the grain prop is the greatest problem to be solved at present by the farmers. Now to change the subject. Dau- phin can boast of having one of the finest and liveliest organizations in the West, I mean the Huron and Bruce Association which has nearly 1200 members. They hold an Annual Pienio in the aurnmer, several Rallies during the fall and whiter months consisting of games and danciag, and in the month' of September or October they hold their annual meet- ing which is made up with a pro- gram of speechesy, songs, music, re- citing, etc., a business meeting, elec- tion of officers and then a dance and cards or games for those who do not dance. I have never attended meet- ings of any organization where the members seem to enjoy themselves so much. I tell them that it' is be- cause they come from the garden of Canada with her choicest People. The annual meeting this year will be held on the 28th day of October, and should any persons reading this and, who hail from either of these Coun- ties and are within 100 miles of Dau- phin; come and you will be made welcome. Mr. Rube E. Fisher is Pre- sident and I am Secretary of the As- sociation. Thanking for the space, Sincerely yours, WM. MURRAT. Harry Lyons.
