Durham Junior Farmers Win Two Dominion Tilles ai Royal Winter Fair A precedent was established at the Royal Winter Fair when two Grenville County girls, Molly Bennett and Mary Armstrong of Spencerville, captured the Do- minion dairy cattie judging tro- phy. Durham County Junior Far- mner teams turned ln a stellar per- formance ta win in both swine and cattie judging competitians. The Grénville girls' team ]placed third and fourth in the dairy cattie competition and al- though Quebec and Alberta placed a competitor in first and and second positions, respectively, their team mates placed twelfth and faurteenth ta clear the way for the 910 point victory o! the Spencerville girls. In the swine- judging compe- tition. Ontario led the provinces wlth Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia and British Columbia folowing. Durham's Farm Club team composed of William Ferguson and Richard Van Camp amassed a total of 1,- 024 out of a possible 1,200 points and earned a decisive victory over other contestants. William Fergu 1son placed firsf in the idi- vidual standing with a total o! 525 points, and his teamn mate, Richard VanCamp was runner-up. with 499. Bath boys are from Nestleton. Grain Club Wins The Durham Counfy Grain Club team composed of Arnold Brackenridge, Millbrook, and Harold Hammond, Bowmanville, brought a second victory ta On- faria. Provincial runner-up was Maniftoba followed by Quebec, Nova Scotia and British Colum- bia. The Manitoba team was nine points behind the Durham rep- resenfafives in the final scoring, having a total o! 1,025 to Dur- ham's 1,036. Observing that the Prairie Pro- vinces are parficularly dependent upan grain as a means o! liveli- hood. if is understandablé thaf these provinces should place close ta the top.

Way back last summer the Newcastle Lions Club dinner guests of Newcastle Lions where they were presented staged a carnival. and one of the main features was a battie with the handsome trophy shown in the picture. The mem- royal for district supremacy in the tug-of-war. Those who bers of this team are, front row, left to right: Ernest Patter- saw the event will neyer forget the grunting and groaning son, Wm.

A few weeks ago, the wînners wereI John McKelvey and Lyall Lowery. the Prairies, and fortunately for Ontario, Manitoba's team appears to have been unevenly matched. Although a Manitoba Junior Far- mer placed first and won an indi- vidual performance certificate, his teammate placed eighth. Sim- ilarly,- second position wvas won by a western competitor but his partner, too, placed further dowi k in the graduated scale of point getters. Durham County, with Arnold Brackenridge placing third and Harold Hammond fourth, garnered a total of 1,036 ta beat out Manitoba's grain judging entry by fine points. For the record it might be flot- ed that Ontario County's beef cattle tega which came from Peterborough, placed sixth in their division.q Usually strong in the potato di- vision, Durham County, although provincial winner, did flot fare so well in Dominion competition. The Club teama composed of Newton Selby, Newtonville, and jCharlie Peacock of Elizabethville, Hope Township, placed third in a three-province competition plac- in-,; a man in fourth and sixth position. British Columbia led the potato field and Nova Scotia ranked second. The Female Front 1Looking f0 the female side of Winter Fair activities, cousins Gwen and Freda McCullough of iNorthumberland County took third place in the clothing com- petition with 685 points. Alberta won this particular section with 762 points 'and Manitoba placed second with 713. In food prajects, Olive Rogers and Jean Pearon of Perth County, placed fourth with 923 points. An Alberta team won the competition with 946 points, followed by Que- bec with 931 and New Brunswick with 925. HAMPTON FARM FORUM Hampton Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Broome with 18 present. The topic for discussion was "Forests --Slash or Save?" The first question was "Do you think one should be allowed to cut trees even on hîs own land without permission from a forest supervisor?" We think our Pro- vincial Governments should un- dertake a program o! forest su- pervision of cutting trees, because f00 many are cut before they are mature. Also, the government should restrict the cutting of young evergreens for Christmas trees. On the question of woodlot management we think that only a small minority of owners man- aged their forests wisely. The farmer could improve his wood- lot by cutting out dead trees, and fencing out cattle. The next meeting Is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Tink. A littie thought and a littie ~,jkindness are offen worth mnore than a great deal o! money. M R1STS . EDE5T HURRYthatKILL 0 HTA RIO DEPARTMENT 0F 080. if.

Most of Tobacco Crop Sold Around Average of 44 Cents Durham's million dollar tobacco crop, as part of the 106-million- pounds flue-cured Ontario har- vest, bas been faken up by the buying campanies as part o! the 90 per cent crop purchase. A recent survey in Norfolk County revealed that abot9 million pounds o! the 104 mýOillionr pounds grown by members o! the Association had been purchased. In addition to this figure, there ari about two million pounds grown by non-members of the Association. Since the market first opened, if is reported ta have moved brisk- ly. The highest price reported for any single crop f0 date Pias been 50% cents, the lowest fig- ure being 24 cents. The mini- mumi average price for the 1950 crop was set by the Board o! Di- rectors of the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Marketing Association on October 27, at 44 cents, an aVer- age of two cents over the mini- mum average price of 1949. Growers, however, had expected a price in the neighbourhood of 50 cents per pound. Considering the 44 cent price set in 1949, the average price paid for last year's crop was 42.33 cents per pound. The average price for the 1950 crop is flot av- ailable at the present time. The pattern o! the market this year has been different than in some years previously, due t0 the !act that the dcmand by buying companies was for the average and lower grade crops rather than those in the high quality brack- ets. One of the reasons for this was because buying companies were seeking fo purchase as many pounds of leaf as possible with the dollars made available by the British Governmenf for the pur- chase of Canadian tobacca from the 1950 crop.
