.VOL. 61 ; NO. 35 FLESHERTON. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1942 \V. H. Thurston & Son, Props. Implements, Repairs Are Limited This Year "CHECK UP AND ORDER NOW" URGES ONTARIO DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE The Administrator of Farm and Road Machinery has announced that on the basis of 1940 sales manufac- turers of farm equipment are limited in production ranging from a de- crease of 60% on certain types of less essential implements to an in- crease of 200% in the case of milk- ing machines and cream separators. The production of attachments and repair parts is limited to 104% of 1940 sales. This means that 1942 production will be slightly less than than the record sales of 1941. Although supplies are limited, im- plement manufacturers and dealers are hopeful that all orders for spare parts can be filled, providing they know in time what the demands are likely to be. The Ontario Depart- men of Agriculture urges that every farmer should, without delay, look over his equipment, tractor to bin- der and spray outfit, even to the hay fork and rope, and wire for patching fences, and inform his dealer of his requirements. This is a matter of supreme importance. Maximum farm production is required. Prompt de- livery of repair parts cannot be guaranteed after spring work starts. Costly breakdowns and long delays and loss of time of men and equip- ment can largely be avoided by a careful overhaul of farm equipment during the winter months. The Department of Agriculture is also urging that farmers swing in behind the Voluntary Agricultural War Committees being formed in every county. These committees are making: a survey, the results of which will enable each neighborhood through planning and organization, to secure the maximum use of avail- able labor and equipment in the community. Great Britain needs more food from Canada. Supplies for domestic consumption in Canada are short. The maximum in production can only be reached by making the best poss- ible use of what we have in every county, township, community and upon every farm.

Gosling Have Grown Up Past In Three Months Last fall The Advance had an in- teresting item in its columns relative to October goslings owned by Mrs. John Weldrick. These goslings are not small any more. They've grown. Four goslings were raised from six eggs and at two mouths of age the four weighed 26 pounds and now at three months they weigh 35 pounds. Mrs. Weldrick must be good to them in the feeding line for them to have made such rapid progress. It is very seldom that goslings are hatched at that season of the year and for them to do so well is remarkable. Bill Burke, With Air Force Is Honored By Friends L.A.C.
