Mr. Cooper says that a considerâ€" able quantity of hay has been purchâ€" ased, but some farmers still hold large quantilies. Barley has been a good paying crop this year, with the yields running from 50 to 60 bushels to the acre and prices varied for malting barley from 60 to 70 cents. One farmer is said to have sold 1200 bushels . 1 The condition of fall wheat is reâ€" ported to be excellent, recent rains having been very beneficial. There is still about 40 % of the fall plowing to be done, and there have been some requesis by farmers for plowmen in order to get the work done. out of cattle at the present time. With regard to the crops which have come under his observation he states that about oneâ€"half of the turnips are still in the fields, while his informaâ€" tion is that some po‘atoes still reâ€" main unharvested. Mr T Stewart Cooper, Agricultural Representative for Grey, in his semiâ€" monthly report to the Department of Agriculture regarding conditions in the county, states the cattle situation is most disappointing to the farmers as prices are such that it is imposâ€" sible to make anything worth while ; The generation who watched the t Old Mechanics‘ Institute gradually deâ€" y velop into the Public Library, as we know it, will be interested in a very _ special sense in the statistics which ° show that in 1933 there were 637 pubâ€" t lic libraries in Canada.
