Black market is any transaction which by-passes the regular channels cf distribution for the benefit of a few greedy individuals. one ounce reduction put into effect January 1st. Four coupons will become valid each month. The announcement quoted K. H. Olive, administrator of dairy products, as saying that the reduction during the winter months, introduced to ensure that supplies would last until spring, has resulted in eliminating of shortage, and the increased allowance is being made in line with Board policy of adapting the ration to available supplies. Under the present butter rationing plan, butter coupons have no expiry date, and need not be used until butter is actually needed. LUMBER PRICES WILL NOT BE INCREASED No further price increases for lumber sold in Canada will be permitted, it has been announced by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS Spring has come rapidly in Northumberland and farmers find themselves particularly busy after a winter of deep snow, -which hindered many activities. Practically no pruning was done until March and with light labour supplies orchardists are active in the hope of getting the trees in shape before it is necessary to apply the first spray. From then on the large orchard now has almost a continuous spray program. Some light land was seeded during the week of the 19th and some plowing has been done, but most farmers are busy getting barnyard manure on the fields and preparing seed grain and cultivating machinery. Greenhouse plant producers are preparing their equipment and will be planting during the Easter season. With the acreage of tomatoes remaining large, this will be a considerable job. Most cheese factories hope to open immediately after Easter but some find milk supplies not sufficient, which seems influenced by later freshening, especially of heifers of which many herds have a larger number than usual, owing to young stock being raised and mature cows sold to American and other buyers. Seed supplies seem sufficient but Agricultural Representaive Ralph Banbury Brighton states that less than usual is being offered and several good growers have sold all they had. It is felt, with the good grain crop of last year, most farmers can clean up a uitable sample for their needs. The maple syrup season has not been productive to date and no syrup is offered and it would appear that most producers have a ready market friends who are not particular as to grade. Chick hatcheries of the county report demands for orders slower than would be anticipated with the fine weather and the good prices that have prevailed in the past year for eggs and poultry. There is some reason to feel in this and other lines that farmers are not tackling production as agressively this spring as in the more uncertain war years. Lack of labour and the fact that some have had to carry too heavy a program may have some influence. NOW AN OIL THATS ALLOYED... KEEPS ENGINES CLEAN! This Spring switch to B-A's sensational new 5-point-process PEERLESS MOTOR OIL This year don't delay! Get your spring change-over earlyj before that dirty worn-out oil in your car causes serious damage!

HIGH VACUUM Distillation : : : Furfural Process .;: M.E.K. Solvent;;: Catalytio Clay (part of this plant is shown above) these are each important steps in the famous Clarkson 5-point-process which makes the purest, most efficient lubri-catingoilknown. Then comes the unique Sth step--the step that "alloys" the oil against oxidation; just as iron is alloyed against rust to make stainless steel. This step means that Peerless Motor Oil will stay on the job longer, keep engines cleaner, cut the repair costs. THIS YEAR IS CRUCIAL It is particularly important, when most of us are driving cars which have already given abnormal service, that we give the engine every possible chance. Only by so doing can we hope to get through the driving season without trouble. That's why it's so important to know how Peerless Motor Oil does a better job. Here in a nutshell is the reason: From selected lubricating crude oils, B-A eliminates everything except the purest, "oiliest" lubricating fractions. Then, by a special process, Peerless Motor Oil is "alloyed" against decomposition under the heat and pressure it meets in the engine of your car! For longer, safer car life [switch now to B-A Peerless Motor Oil I FARM TRACTORS need proper lubricating oil even more than cars and trucks.
