W«dii«Ml»7 July 2nd. 1924 THE FI45SHERTON ADVANCE Tlie Ag'l Commission Thornbury Meeting Sotn« sensible views were expressed by s«v«ral Osprey gfentlemen before the Agricultural Commission, which met in Thornbury a week ago. These views were reported in the Farmer's Sun as follows: Bacon Market Flooded ^^ Respectiig present hog prices, Mr. Martin stoted that the high prices of 1922 had resulted in a huge increase in hog raising in the United States, here, and in Denmark. In 1923, 2U0 million more pounds of bacon went in- to the Brtish market than in any pre- 1. vlous year. The result was that ba- eon slumped from 140 shillings down to where some Canadian bacon sold at 70 shillings. He felt,, however, that the situation was righting itself. Mr. Running interjected the opinion that feed '.crammed" into hogs at the atock yards in attempt to get a better rate on the "fed and watered" basis of selling, was wasted. The buyers for the packers were not fooled by this, and, he felt, allowed for this in their prices. J. H. Hartman of Hartman and Company, private bankers, of Clarks- barg presented a complaint against the regulations now attached to the distribution of fish fingerlings for re- stocking streams. The Government had been very generous in ocering the fish for this purpose, he said, but one condition attached was that the individuals or organizations making application for the fish must secure the consent of property owners to having the stream thrown open for fishing along its course. To do this on a stream twenty miles or so long was a difficult task. The fishermen of the district also desired to have the lake created by the Hydro at Eugenia for power purposes thrown open for fishing. Asked for an opinion regarding economic conditions, Mr. Hartman remarked that war prices had brought some mushroom growth and farmers who had bought at the high prices v.ere up against it. The majority of the farmers of the district, however, were of the conservative type and were, he believed, in pretty far circ- umstances. They were also helped by the advantages of the region in apple growing. Nothing In Farming Wilbert Poole of Feversham, rep- resenting the Maxwell U. F. club, graphically indicated his views on prevailing farm conditions when he declared that he would mortgage his farm to the limit to educate his boy. "He is.jiot going to stay on the farm if I can help it," he declared. Lawyers doctors, etc., were all safe-guarded as preserve did not wish it thrown open again for public fishing as they did not want a recurrence of the disorder ly conditions which prevailed before the place was made a Government preserve.

"The man who uses the roads should pay for them." Mr. Poole returned to the discussion with the opinion that doctors' fees should also be reduced in line with the lower prices of farm produce, and urged also that the Government should regulate the charges made by those in the undertaking business. "It costs too much to live and too much to die," commented Mr. Bel- anger, of the committee, and Mr. Poole agreed. Co-operation The Solution Dougald Stephens of also of the Maxwell CluD, that the farmer was not making any money; in fact if he figured out pro duction costs with interest on the in- vesment, he would find he was in the hole.

The team is to consist of three girls under twenty-six years of age, from any township in the county. The judges will be supplied by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture. Each team will be given fifteen minutes for plac- ing each class and vtrriting reasons. The classes are as follows: â€" No con- testant may secure more than two prizes, bread, loaf cake, school lunches house dress and good dreeing. There mill be ten prizes starting with $10 for 1st and decreasing by one dollar until the 10th prize of one dollar is reached. These are especially att- ractive and should be worth trying for. How about some Grey County girls trying this competition? The local branch of the Department of Agricul- ture, Markdale, are especially desir- ous that there should be entries from Grey County. If any girls are inter- ested the local branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture would only be too glad to receive enquiries and secure special lecturers or demonstrators who would train a team or teams. Transportation to Toronto would be provided free of charge and other ex- penses paid of possible. Women's Institutes would be assisting the De- partment anl their younger members if they would urge the girls to try this proposition. The Department of Agriculture, Markdale, will render all possible service. As the entries need not be in until August 9th, there re- mains a month for preparation. Hwo about this competition? POULTRY CULLING The Department of Agriculture, Markdale, has just recently been ad- vised that poultry cullers will be in the County during the first week of August. Quite a large number of demonstrations are being arranged for. During the week the poultry culler is in Grey County arrangements are also being made to train the young men in tlje work of culling. These men will be taken free of charge from place to place and there under the supervision of the official culler from the O. A. C. will cull the flocks at the various farms.

They, of course, have ref- erence to church union, which was consummated in the Dominion Parlia- ment last week: Up from the earth into the light. Three roses grew on a single stem; .\nd then as the fairies came one night. In search of a gift they passed by them; In search of a gift to give the king, And there stood the roses in a ring. But the buds were small and weak and spare. With scant perfume on the desert air. So the fairies breathed on the rosea three, And turned them round to the morning sun; When lo! they saw in a mystery. The withered three grow into one; And lo! what a rich and fragrant bloom 1 All the air was filled with rare per- fume! So the one from the three that dropp- ed in a ring. Became their gift, and it pleased the king. SUMMER COTTAGE TO RENT Summer cottage at Brewster's Lake, near Singhampton. Good boat- ing and bas fishing. Will rent very reasonable. Apply to â€" J. H.
