The Canada Year Book 1942 S:13Al.+ O"TJ I NEW,� TH JRSDAV, oCTOBgR'22, 1942 Crop Report in Ontario Wet weather which was general throughout .Ontario during the greater part of September proved helpful for the growth of ,pastures; turnips and marigolds but delayed 'he maturing of other late crops, in- terfered with the seeding of fall wheat and retarded, the harvesting of dry beans, soyebans, corn for silo, potatoes and buckwheat. At the first of October pastures were re- ported in excellent condition in prac- tically all sections of Old Ontario •end were in much better condition in Eastern Ontario than a month earlier when drought effects . were quite apparents. Turnips and partic- ularly mangolds grew Well during the month and most fields promise good yields notwishstanding the late- ness of planting and slow early growth this season, The yield of potatoes has been reduced severely by leaf hopper damage, frost injury and late blight, Heavy killing frosts which were general throughout the province 00 Sept. 28th affected in varying de- gree such crops as buckwheat, soy- beans, tomatoes, corn potatoes and other tender garden crops, Tomatoes and some late fields of buckwheat suffered heavy damage and late var- ieties of soybeans were injured to an as yet undetermined degree. The threshing of spring grains is still proceeding in most counties and has been slow due to the wet wea,. then in. September and the shortage of labor. Spring grain that was seed- ed and threshed early is generally of excellent quality but in some of the later seeded fields and fields where the grain was left standing for stook threshing the sample is discolored and somewhat poorer, The average yield o4 late potatoes will not exceed 50 per cent of a normal crop but a high percentage of the crop is of good quality, There are substantial supplies of Certified Katandins and Cippewas in Ontario and growers requiring good seed should make purchases immedi- ately, otherwise much of this stock will be sold for table stock. Some Facts About Meat Situation Inrecentmonths, states the Cur- rent Review of Agricultural Condi- tions in Canada, customers arriving at meat centres in Canadian cities have not always been able to secure the type of cut desired, especially when the choice lay in the direction TEA There have been, two main rea war, Thus it is the demand which has grown rather than the supply which has diminished. Canadian farmers have marketed more hogs and cattle, and only slightly fewer calves, sheep, etc„ and the average slaughter weights of hogs and beef cattle have been considerably increased. The restric- tion of pork distribution on the do- mestic market has shifted extra de- mands to other meat. This has been further accentuated by a sharp rea-. sonal decrease in late summer cattle marketings, due mainly to a favor- able feeding situation on farms, and to optimism or uncertainty in the minds of producers as to future market prospects. Within a few weeks, marketings of both hogs and beef cattle should show a substantial 'easonal increase. sons for the existence of the so- called "meat shortage", The first, which mainly applies to pork prod- ucts is the fact that progressively larger export commitments to the United Kingdom have been in effect in each of the three years of the war. In the second place, there has been a very substantial increase in the demand for meats. This is attrib- uted to increased employment in industry, with consequent increased purchasing power in the hands of earners. There have also been grow- ing requirements for members of the Canadian and Allied armed forces stationed within or near Dominion boundaries and for allied vessels '+f beef and pork. Much has also calling at Canadian ports. As a re - been heard of a beef shortage, of suit, there is a present a much larg- restrictions on domestic consump-er domestic market for meats in 'ion of pork.

So often, we are told "they're not making it any more". Factories are making guns instead of ploughs, tanks instead of tractors, planes and shells instead of stoves, and beds. We'll have to replace so many things when the war ends ... things too we can't buy now. MONEY INVESTED IN VICTORY BONDS will provide the cash to buy them WHAT A VICTORY BOND IS —with Cash ... in one lump sum, with money we have saved. There is no safer investment ... no better way to protect our savings. Or—we can buy bonds and pay for them through our banks "in monthly instalments. As the instalments come due the bank will charge them to our accounts. Look at a dollar bill. A dollar bill is like a bond. It's a promise to pay to the man who has it. You get bills when you sell things and pay them out when you buy things. A Victory Bond is "a bill" intended to be saved. When you keep a 5100.00 Victory Bond for a year you receive an additional 53.00. (3% interest). Buy all the Victory Bonds you can— lend money to Canada to help to win the war. Save your bonds to have money for things you'll need when the war ends: National War Finance Committee — with Produce Farm folk can pay for Victory Bonds in another, convenient way—by using the "PRODUCE FOR VICTORY" TICKET, By simply signing a "Victory Ticket" you can authorize those who buy produce from you to send all or part of the proceeds to the War Finance Committee to buy Victory Bonds for you.
