Livestock Valued at $550 Killed by Dogs Dogs running loose in Haldimand Township, either in packs or individually, have killed livestock valued at $550.00 in May and July, Mac Rutherford, Township Clerk, said last Tuesday. "With livestock still on the ranges, this might easily be a record for losses as many dogs are still at large and no attempts at control seem to be/ made by their owners." 'SsSr Township councillor, Neil Masterson. said he received one report from a township farmer that four dogs had chased a herd of steers until they went berserk and charged the verandah of his home causing considerable damage. In one month alone, dogs killed livestock to the value of $290.00. Included in this amount were 2 cows and 10 sheep. I of the report of wild dogs come from the farming communities as far afield as Warkworth, Centreton and Castleton. Mr. Masterson said the bylaw prevails for the control of dogs roaming at large. Haldimand Township By-law No. 69 clearly states that any owner allowing his dog to run at large is liable on conviction to a fine of $50.00 and the township officers; emphasize that control of such, animals is in the hands of the farmers themselves. (. Some reports indicate, Masterson said, that the dogs, in being turned loose by their former owners, had reverted to their wild state and had killed out of hunger. The situation in the township is getting serf he said. Twenty-eight Claims for Hail Damage to Tobacco Crop Filed Hail claims arising out of last Friday's storm have been received from 28 district tobacco farms, H. K. Long said Tuesday morning.

The Durham damage covers about six square miles and is generally confined to the one belt. Farms around Kendal and Pontypool escaped. Some wind damage was also caused, but Mr. Long regards this as light. Insurance adjustors will visit the area affected Wednesday and Thursday to assess loss, he stated. Mr. Long said that reports did not indicate that the storm caused as much damage as some hail storms in previous years. ) Dick Woudstra reported about ten per cent of his crop damaged at his farm just west of Perrytown.
