OTTAWA REPORTS That, Because of War's Demands, Canadian Gasoline Ration Will Probably Be Cut If the invasion develops into a long, drawn-out struggle, it is likely that Canadians will have to get along with less gasoline, Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions, told the House of Commons recently. Referring to the demands made by war on gasoline production, Mr. Howe said it required 2,000 gallons of fuel to move an armored division one mile. A fleet of 5,000 bombers and escort fighters raiding Germany uses up some S,250,000 gallons of aviation gaso- Richmond Hill, IS miles from Ottawa, and Vankleek Hill, Ontario, are among centres holding centenary celebrations of agricultural fairs this year. The Vankleek Hill Fair started in 1844 under the name of the County of Prescott Agricultural Society when English currency was still in use in Canada. The first feature of the cen-'■ tenary program took place recently with the planting of evergreen trees in the fair grounds. The first organized agricultural fair in Canada was held at Windsor, N.S., in 1763, and at Pictou, I W,S^ 'JjJ first fair was heW 127 years ago.

The Prince Herfty, Prince David and Prince Robert were built for the Canadian National Steamships at Birkenhead, England. In the Pacific Coast service and in Atlantic waters each of these three Bister ships covered great distances and carried many holiday travellers until 1939 when taken over by the Royal Canadian Navy. The H.M.C.S. Prince Robert became an anti-aircraft cruiser while the other two were redesigned as combined operations cruisers. Press despatches from the front reported that the Prince Henry was one of the first ships to land troops in France while the Prince David also launched her landing craft in the early stages of the attack, and the Prince Robert was an important unit of the protective fleet. While Canadian National Steamships officers had no thought of war when ipecifying the type of ship required, they did ask for power and speed and thus, unknowingly, provided the basis for useful cruisers. The builders installed high pressure boilers feeding &eam turbines to develop 16,000 horsepower and a top speed of 23 knots. The purpose was to maintain an exacting scnednle, The Prince ships were designed for 334 first cabin passengers with deck space for 1,500 day passengers. When launched these ships were each of 6,000 tons. In war dress their top decks, which carried much of the cabin accommodation, were dismantled. H.M.C.S. Prince Robert has been more frequently in the news than her Canadian National sisters, early capturing a rich prize in the Pacific, and afterwards staging a fierce battle against enemy aircraft while guarding a convoy in the Atlantic. These Bhips sailed to the Land of the Midnight Sun but no Alaskan adventure imagined by Jack London, Robert Service or Rex Beach approached that recent action off the Coast of Normandy. they apply for a purchase permit. i new Ceiling prices for honey ir WPTB order gives prodt higher return for No. 1 white honey than for other grades.

The Chemistry Division of the Department of Agriculture has made exacting tests to prove that hay cut early is much more nutritious than when cut} late. Red clover cut when 50% in* bloom was found to contain 26%. THORNTON PURKIS AGENCY NEW PARTNERS ed by Board representatives. Because of fir shortages, sale of wooden extension ladders over 7 feet in height are prohibited except under permit. Board officers explain that fruit growers and other farmers who need ladders will be given 1 more protein, 7% more calcium! consideration when I and 4% more phosphofous""Trfan rH»p clover with 80% of the heads ed brown. Timothy well headed out had 45% more protein, 8% more calcium and 40% more phosphorous than timothy in full bloom. Alfalfa when 5% in bloom tained 19% more protein, about the same amount of calcium, and 2% more phosphorous than alfa cut when just past full bloom. Dr. T. M. Stevenson, head of the Forage Crops Experimental Farm, says that when alfalfa is cut at the right time the stems make up about half the weight of the hay and the leaves the other half, but about 70% of the protein in alfalfa is in the leaves. To save the leaves, he says, "Don't let the sun go down on the hay in the swath . . . get it into windrows." W.
