WHEAT ACREAGE S "LOWER ACCORDING TO CROP REPORTS Milk Supply Is Gradually Getting Lighter in Dur- : Despite the general opinion that there are record crops in the County of Durham this year the weekly crop report issued on Mon- day of this week from the Pro- vineial Department of Agriculture . states that several crops are below . average. The report further states that the milk supply is failing gradu- ally in spite of the fact that many farmers have been feeding green food and concentrates since early in August. Roots are much below the average crop on account of the dry weather. In this respect the turnip crop has been harder hit than the mangels. The acreage of fall wheat jis possibly down a little from the average of the past five years, Mbst fields are showing a very good top with recent show- ers improving their condition. The report gdes on to say that there is a keen demand for dairy cattle in the restricted T, B, Free Areas. Many outside buyers are invading the district for cattle which are accredited, Considerable stocker cattle has been bought due to the large yields of grain and the low prices offered for the same. Indications are that there will be a good supply of Canadian Seed corn for 1931, BOWMANVILLE MAN 1S NEW SECRETARY PN.

The Vitimin Milling Co. of Can- ada Ltd. will 'manufacture a pro- duct which will meet an jnereasing agitation for whole wheat bread with as fine a mesh as white bread, Mr. Brooks informed The Times. As nothing is lost in the grinding of the grain, its flour will contain all the vitimines and the 16 salts found in the whole grain of wheat and which are claimed to be so beneficial to the human body, 300 Barrels Per Day The company expects to produce 300 barrels of flour per day at its mill here when, it begins operation, gradually increasing its output to an ultimate capacity of 1,000 bar- rels a day. Mr. Brooks states that the mill has assurance of a good market in Canada and that the pro- gpects for a large export trade are bright. Although their names have not been made public, a number of prominent local business men are said to be interested in the com- pany. The sole right of manufacturing Vitimin flour in Canada has been procured by the new company, "| which is not connected in any way with the American concern. The product, however, has found a ready sale in the United States, and Mr. Brooks showed The Times a num- ber of letters from large American bakeries, pastry manufacturers, Macaroni manufacturers and chain restaurants endorsing the quality of Vitimin flour. Housowives are informed that they can make just as delicious and much more health. ful cakes, biscuits, cookies and so forth from Vitimin whole wheat flour as from white flour, Arrangements are being: made with the Oshawa Railway Company to build a siding to the new mill so that it will have facilities for trans. portation by rail, water and high- way. The location of the new plant is considered ideal by Mr. Brooks, who is a well known Toronto fin- ancier, In addition to his venture in the Vitimin Milling Co., Mr, Brooks is interested in the devel' opment of several mining properties in the great Flin Flon district of Northern Manitoba, Here and Th £619) Western Canadian cattle almost swept the boards in 16 classes at the Washington State Fair just con- cluded at Yakima, Wash., when the Holstein show herd owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway Supply Farm at Strathmore, Alberta, won fourteen first prizes and nine sec- onds, also taking senior, junior and grand championships in both mule snd female classes.

WHAT OTHERS SAY PROSPERITY WEEK The Editor Oshawa Dally Times, Dear Sir,-- In last night's issue of your paper 1 read with interest the let- ter regarding 'Prosperity Week' sent you by "Oshawaian", He states that there should be a ser. fes of "Prosperity Weeks" but I'd like to point out to 'Oshawa- fan" that it took him 18 years to realize' that where persons earn their money they should spend it. Now just faney if we were all like '"Oshawajan' buying our clothes in Toronto for 18 years then wake up to the fact that we ought to have a series of "Pros- perity Weeks" to put Oshawa on its "feet" again and . think the business people of Oshawa and all others would cease to exist. I do thipk that "Prosperity Week" is a good idea to keep money circul- ating but for goodness sake how can anyone pick a time like this to have "Prosperity Week'. Now there are hundreds of unemployed in this city and the majority have not. got a dollar to live on so how can they be expected to help cir- culate money. You can't spend money if you have not got it, An- other thing is this, A dollar bill is in. circulation and who ever Bets it is expected to spend it at once. Now there are a lot of un- employed men who if they had that dollar bill would léok at it twice before they "blew it in" fast Jor the sake of : ciroulation. Its so long sinc of ug had a dollar that ir 41 it it would need an operation to get it outeof our hand. At times I think that instead of making it Week" it 'should Adve ,, been termed "Generosity eek' and let all store keepers give just a little away (like Mr D. J. Brown, Jeweller) insteaq of expecting the citizens to spend their ast nickel helping to make the store keeper "Prosperous. We Spent it years ago when we h 'it. We never Invested it like # many people in our oft can't always have it Wo i I say this Mr. Editor, we the uns employed are '"broke.flat"~and can't help with this "Prosperity Week' idea, so hope that all those who have the money, and 'who 89} keeping it in || tha working man to help them make it, let them now forget that 4 per cent. and spend some to benefit the unemployed" of Osh- awa and Canada today, Yours truly, "Unemployed Single Man". ------------------ 10 FURTHER CURB SHITHY MARRIAGES AT GRETNA GREEN Church of Scotland Officials Urge Pasing of New Statute * Gretna Green, Scotland.--Alarmed at what they term. "irregular mar- riages" over tlie village smithy's an- vil here, high officials of the. Churcli of Scotland plan action to curb the large number of such ceremonies through parliamentary statute mak- ing marriages more difficult than a mere appearance of two parties, Under Scottish law, couples mar. ried at 'Gretna Green by the smithy New Martin THUR. - FRI.

J. O. Stafford, min- ister of a local parish, said: "The commercialized marriage traffic going on here makes it easy for the bigamist and for the man who would decoy a girl with a false mar- riage ceremony. The. Rev. Mr, Stafford said unless the marriages were registered and the residence requirement met, no penalties could be attached to the repudiation of such a ceremony and either party was free to break the arrangement at wil, In behalf of the Church of. Scot- land's position, statistics showing the number of marriages performed in recent years have been issued and Year Marriages Registration pr 18 325 62 1930 to date .... 260 44 Churchmen, citing a single day's series of eight' marriages, say more "irregular" weddings are taking place now at the famed spot than in the days when such ceremonies climaxed hard rides in postchaises with an angry parent or two bringing up the rear, Contrary to popular belief, mar- riage at Gretna Green is not a "cheap" affair, First of all the cere- mony proper costs approximately $5.25 and costs accumulate rapidly if the ceremony is duly registered. For such registration, to secure documentary pfoof that the wedding has been performed, it is necessary to petition the sheriff of Dumfries. Then the parties to the marriage, with two witnesses, appear before the sheriff and swear the contracting parties were entitled and free to marry, and that the wedding took place. At the close of such a hear- ing the sheriff issues a warrant of registration. If the application for registration is not filed before three months after the ceremony, the par- ties must petition the court of ses. sions at Edinburgh. Changes in Scottish laws to rem- edy this condition are advocated byy the Church of Scotland and follows: Due notice of intention to marry; civil marriages to be conducted be- fore responsible officials; similar re- sponsibility for civil officials as rests on ministers; rigorous penalties for persons who give false information when registering for marriage, com- pulsory registration of marriages, DIVISION COURT SITS Division Court was in session this morning in the City Hall.
