Starr, associate-director of extension for the Ontario agriculture de- partment "But the effects of the dry spell are still being felt. The ps J definitely need more The drought began in May. In both provinces, the rains came too late to benefit hay crops, causing a shortage that shot prices up, In the Niagara Peninsula, baled hay was selling for $35 , $15 above the normal price, But fields bf corn and grain, which have a later sea- son, are generally flourishing. GETS SOME RAIN | A Quebec agricultural spokes- man said his province's grain crops may turn out to be 'quite good" despite the scarcity of rain Quebec has received five) 7 inches of rain so far in August, too late to help hay production which will be down consider- ably . To help its farmers, Quebec is making a two-week survey to determine needs for the dis- tribution of $5,000,000 in federal- provincial grants In Ontario, the province's eastern areas are hardest hit Ottawa Valley hay crops are down 25 per cent, In some other eastern areas, the drop is 60 per cent. "The situation was quite crit- ical a month ago," said Don Black, agricultural representa- tive for Ottawa's Carleton County, "We got three inches of rain at the.end of July, and the first few days of August which sparked things consider- ably. We'll need continued rain like his." Less than one inch of rain| fell on the valley in the crucial six-week growing period follow- ing May 16. It was the worst dry spell since records were first kept in 1809, and a low spot in a long-term dry period that began in 1952 The rainfall in June was .72 inches, com- pared to the normal of 3.02 inches. Farmers in Belleville experi- enced an unusually dry June, but the situation improved with the late July and August rains Hay, corn, peas and tomatoes were hurt. Prices were a little higher than last year.

He was commenting on vari- ous reports, among them an ar- ticle in the publication Scien- }tifie: American, that the' mile- wide asteroid spinning through space could be lured by the gravitational tug of earth and the planet Mercury into the earth's orbit. One report said scientists at European observatory are | working 'to determine the pre- cise area in the world where Asteroid Bashing Earth 'Not Likely the asteroid Icarus is expected) to crash on the earth in three] years." The report, distributed by Re-| ligious News Service, noted that Icarus could make an impact on an area about the size of Montreal Island. Dr. Halliday said in an inter- view he agrees with predictions that Icarus would -miss the earth by about 4,000,000 miles--| 16 times the distance between the earth and the moon. "We knaw in fact that these collisions do occur,"' Dr. Halli- day said in an interview. 'And we can point out a dozen cases where this has: happened in Canada.

The "supply pokes"'-of column 21 had figured on an easy run. Their mission was to get to the beach-head, re-supply a_ line company and return to the 7th Fleet mother ship anchored a mile off shore. ' They accomplished none of the objectives. ||FLOPPED ABOUT, LOST Once out of the water, the huge Amtraks flopped from one rice paddy to another, unwieldy behemoths unable to find their way, Again and again, the: ma- rines called out to combat men in the field but failed to locate the line company they had been designated to resupply. At 11 a.m., CHAU THANH (AP)----Some- thing new, something encourag- ing, is happening in this area of the Mekong Delta in South Viet Nam, The barefoot army known as "the PFS'--the Popular Forces --is going out at night, out into the rice paddies, the mangrove swamps and the jungles, to meet the Viet Cong on his own ---- of ambush and sneak at- tac For a long time the Popular Forces seldom stirred at night from their sandbagged, barbed wire-encrusted watchtowers at |\the edge of every hamlet and \village.

An armor-piercing: shell hit the leading tank, wounding two men inside, The Amtraks tried to ma- noeuvre into good firing posi- tions, but three of the five bogged down in a deep paddy. The supply men had not been trained for the strange, ter- raced terrain, A Viet Cong knocked out one of the remaining Amtraks by dropping a grenade in the hatch as it edged toward the tanks for protection. The blast killed two Americans and. wounded others inside the vehicle, RIDDLED DRIVER Communist shells punched three holes in one tank. Bullets riddled the wounded driver after he 'squeezed himself through the 18-inch escape hatch under the tank, Mortars bounced off the American vehicles, and Pass watched as Viet Cong with am- munition bandoliers, black py- jama uniforms and camouflaged steel helmets attacked an Am- trak 30 yards to his left. .| marine knife when his body was recovered later. It was a little after noon now. With the sun beating down on the bloodied rice paddy, the Viet Cong knocked out a third Amtrak and the survivors sought protection in the other two. The marines ripped at the Viet Cong with machine - and rifle fire from the vehicles, but still the Viet Cong kept coming, recalled Cpl. Frank Guilford of Philadelphia, SHOT FROM HOLES They took turns as sharp- shooters from peepholes on top of the vehicles, "I, couldn't manoeuvre up there," explained Pte, James Reeff of Seattle, Wash., who escaped with a slight wound. The interior compartments of the metal monsters became cauldrons. Staff Sgt. Jack Me- rino of Lomita, Calif., said the men splashed water on each other from ré-supply cans to prevent heat exhaustion, Suddenly, a young corporal shouted: "Okay, men, we're marines. Let's do the job." He started to climb out but a bullet hit him between the eyes before he could raise his rifle. In mid - afternoon, Merino heard a frantic whisper from One of the two drivers was killed as he leaped out of the| beleaguered vehicle.

Unlike the regular Vietna-| jmese Army, the Popular Forces ifight only in the vicinity of their own hamlet or village. Equipped: with Second World War carbines and sportsman's shotguns, the PFS are fulltime soldiers who live in camp with their wives and children and come under the leadership of the district or village chief, A similar force of full-time home guards called the Re- gional Forces, or the RFS, op- erates in company strength un- der direction of the province chief. These usually are uni- formed and equipped with mor- tars or automatic weapons. 'In the last six months, the PFS and the RFS accounted for 70 per cent of all Viet Cong casualties," said Capt. James Orr of Atlanta. "They are fight- ing for their homes and fami- lies, right there in their own back yard." when air strikes began to ease the pressure on the remnants of Column 21, They stayed at their positions through the night.
