This is an honor in itself, and shows that when the war is over the boys from this county who have gone to the front will not find those of us who are left behind not trying to provide for their return. We are trying to make this County of Grey better than it was before the. war and in this way will he able to keep the boys in the county when they come back from the war. This year again the Board of Ag riculture can, through the generos- ity of the County Council, ofi‘er prizes at the Winter Fair.

These cards will be provided to every one exhibiting from this county, to be fastened on the exhibits while at the fair, so that every one visiting the Winter Fair will be able to see at a glance what class of good stuff we grow in this county.

Ottawa, Sept. 14th, 1917. To Lady Hendrie, the Members of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Or- ganization of Resources Committee and their co-workers throughout Ontario: Great Britain and her European Allies look to Canada for food. The King has notified the Canadian Gov- ernment that “increased supplies are absolutely essential to the de- feat of the enemy’s devices and to a speedy and successful termina- tion of the war.” Lord Rhondda, theBritish Food Controller, has told the Dominion that Great Britain looks to the “resources of Canada and to the in- domitable energy of Canadians for an answer that will shatter Ger» many‘s threats of starvation.” There is a world famine of wheat and a world shortage of beef and bacon. These are the commodities most required for overseas. It is to ensure supplies of these foods and other non-perishable and easily storeable commodities that every housewife is being asked to sign the Food Pledge. Canada has a- bundance of other foodstuffs. By reducing domestic consumption ot’ wheat, beef and bacon, and by using substitutes, the housewives of the Dominion can give vital war ser- vice. They will give it once they realize the necessity. All that is asked at present is that they do not use beef and bacon on two days :1 week or at more than one meal on any other day, that they reduce their consumption of wheat bread by one-quarter and that they use perishable and non-exportable pro- ducts to the greatest possible ex- tent as substitutes for the staple foods required for export. The appeal to the housewives is con- tained in the one word “substitutef When they realize the great need of the fighting forces and our Allies they will also save every ounce of food possible in order to release more for export. To do this means the complete conservation of our food supplies and the elimination of waste. 0 To yourself, to the members or your committee and to your coâ€" workers I wish to express my great appreciation of the services you are giving in circulating the Food Service Pledges by a houseâ€"to- house canvass and thus bringing home directly to the people the im- perative need for substituting othâ€" er foods for those required for ex- port. Your task is an arduous one, but I am confident the housewives of Ontario will respond splendidly to your \var appeal. Very truly yours, W. J. Hanna, Food Controller. I IUBULL v.
