The annual meeting of the Milk & Cream â€" Producers‘ Association ~was, held last Saturday.! One of the chief items for discussion was the price of milk. After considerable debating on the pros and cons of the situation, it was decided to faise the price from the present rate of $2.50 per eight gallon can to $2.80 perâ€"can. This will mean at least a minimum price of 15¢ per quart at least to the Toronto housewive, although nothing definite has been decided upon by the retailers as yet. The new scale of prices will come into effect on October 1st . and continue till January 1sy 1919. Beâ€" fore that date another meeting will be held and the price for the balance of the winter fixed according to condiâ€" tions then existing. «Increased, cost â€"of production was the reason given for the extra raise in prices. The great majority of members present endorsed the new measure, though a few demanded even higher prices, but it was agreed that the extra 30c would cover the increased cost of producâ€" tion, and that was all that was reâ€" quired 1918 Never in the history of the old town has there been so much interest taken in events that are to take place at the Fair.

The grounds committee are very carefully arranging for every available inch of space. The merryâ€" goâ€"round is now on the ground and will be ready for business. Tents are being erected to house the, great exâ€" hibit of the Red Cross and their tea room. One of the main features here will be the heroes‘ gallery. ‘The big tent for the horticultural, flower and vegetable show must not pass without due notice. This is an added attracâ€" tion to our fair this year and it proâ€" mises to be big. One of the great new events will be the industrial tent. Here you will note that Weston is a progressive town and the centre of great industrial activity. It only requires a little notice. For the first time all these industries will be gathered together under one tent. Each will display its various ‘lines. The usual midway will be in full swing on Friday and during the evenâ€" ing. One of the greatest events of the whole Fair will be the official opening and turning on of the light for the first time on the Fair grounds. This will be done by His Worship the Mayor, Dr. Charlton.

This tractor â€"which is manufactured by Henry Ford and Sonâ€"is.one of the best on the market toâ€"day. With only a small consumption of coal oil needed to genâ€" erate power, easily controlled and opâ€" erated, it ranks high as an ‘economic investment for farm work. Its conâ€" struction is such as to allow for the turning of corners in a minimum . of space, leaving no waste or unworked ground. Over 1000 of these tractors are being used by the government, thus proving their worth and duraâ€" pility. ; At the Oakwood this next week you will have the opportunity of seeing one of the greatest productions that has yet been shown.
