By the way, this machine has only been made some thing less than a year, and the factory is 7000 behind n its orders, Speaking oP tractors --What is be- ing done about securing one for this locality? A number of farmers would use a tractor if it were available. Per- haps yoh have not put in your order with the District Representative at Whitby. If not do so at once but keep on plowing just the. game, be- cause the plowing truly is great but the tractors are few. Thousands of people attended this Provincial Plowing Match and tractor demonstration held at the Industrial Farm on Yonge St. But the profes- sional plowman, turning up pretty ridges of sod, was copspicuous by his absence.

Price of Milk The following extract is taken from a letter addreSsed to Reeve Geérow by the Food Controller: - 'Before a just basis of the cost of milk production canbe arrived at, the effect. on prices of this year's crop of coarse grainin Canada and the United States must be ascertained." 'Beports. indicate that the total production of coarse grains will be above the aver- age.
