Farm Produce Will Likely Be Higher SayJAuthorities "The extent o! the econontic evolution - temporaryg though it may be - that the present inter- national struggle will bring about is a matter of pure speculation," declared Hon. P. M. Dewan, Ont. Minister o! Agriculture, in an ad- dress at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto a few days after his return from Great Bni- tain where he scanned prospective markets for Ontario farin pro- ducts. "If we may judge from the ex- periences of, the last war and the trend of the past few days, we may look for higher prices. Nat- urally it will flot ail be gain for the fariner. Higher prices he wül no doubt obtain, but higher wages and higher purchase values will confront him. There is every likelihood that his net income wiil expand. That these higher returns should be brought about because o! a war of nations in which we are vitaily concerned is flot the happiest thought. *We must, however, face conditions as they exist in a practical common- sense way." L"Recent developments natural- ly cause us to fix our eyes upon Great Britain as an enlarged mar- ket for our surplus farm com- modities. Froin my own observa- tions recently made, I would say that whether in peace or in war, we should always look to Britain as our one secure and lasting market for beef, bacon-, lîve stock, dressed poultry, Cheddar cheese, canned goods, honey and tobacco leaf." "In ssying tels, I arn not under- estimating by any means tee value o! nearen markets such as that o! the United States. But, we should neyer fail f0 keep'a grasp, and lndeed a very firin grasp, o! tee British market for these commodities o! which we have an exportable surplus and for whicb in Great Brifain teere is a dcmand."l "Sacrifices rnsy aiso have f0 be made. If tee war is a long one, International appeals msy be made te stress production o! cer- tain f ar crops. I arn confident teat all aprals o! A Provincial on National. aracter ln tee uncer- tain days test le before us wil be loyally responded to by our Ontario farmers. The British peo- ple are wotey o! if." "Efficiency in fsrm operations and co-operaflon in state demands constifute a matter o! duty fa oun- selves and to the Empire. I know teat Ontario f arners will nof be lacklng," concluded Mr. Dewan.

Complete Arrangements For Registering 0f Local Women In National Emtergency Work Women of Canada from coast to coast are preparing and organ- izing for servigé during the na- tional emergency and are actual- ly planning for every condition which may arise. The name of their oganization is tee V.R.C.W., which means tee Voluntary Reg- istration of Canadian Women. The local committec under tee chairmanship of Mrs. C. W. Sie- mon have decided on the regis- tration centres in this district, which will be open for registra- tion during tee week o! Sept. 17.

Many trees were bhown over and tons of fruit crushed or shaken off the trees. The centre o! the storm in this district seemed to hit af New- castle and eastern points. Many orchards were ahmost stripped by the fearing wind. There werea few trees down on the side roads, but Highway No. 2 was nof block- ed. At Bowmanviîîe the storin was flot 'so severe, and whihe som< fruit was spoihed, the trees were flot so extensivehy damaged. In the fown a few smahi branches were broken off but nothing to hinder traffic. Oshawa district escaped the main force o! the.storin, with only a few small branches being brok- en off frees in tee city. Some fruit was blown down, but tee damage was not so heavy as in the apple. growing counties to the east.
