Record Yield Of Grains Is Reported In Old Ontario é ° THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITRY VOL. 9--No. 219 OSHAWA-WHITBY, 'WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1950 PAGE THREE Double-Barrelled Christian Names Are Preferred In Oshawa * Modern parents, by a wide mar- | gin, prefer to give their children double-barrelled Christian names, This is shown in a survey of the names which have appeared as given to children, whose births have been announced in the birth col- umns of The Times-Gazette since June 1 of this year. Since that date, 157 birth announcements have ap- peared in which the names of the baby were given. In 148 cases, the * children have "been given two Christian names. In six cases, only a single name has been bestowed on the child, and in three cases, all of them boys, the infant has been given three Christian names. John Is Most Popular The survey shows that the good old English name of John leads the list in preference for being in- cluded in boys' names, no less than seventeen of the 87 boys in the list bearing that name as one of the Christian names. The name of James comes second with twelve, while the Davids, with eleven, rank in third place. Roberts are next with ten, while William and Paul are tied with nine boys given these names, Strange to say, the old familiar names of George, Edward and Alexander seem to have lgst their popularity, as they appéar only once each, while Thomas, an- other former familiar name, ap- pears three times. In addition to Paul and David, Biblical names appear in a few cases, such as James Andrew, Tim- othy Mark, and Aaron Isaac, while a religious flavor is found in the name John Wesley. 'The two single Christian names given to boys are Paul and Ray- mond. Included in the double- barrelled names are some interest- ing combinations which may be cited as a guide to prospective par- ents at a loss for names for their expected offspring, such as Stephen Lee, John David, David Wohn, Wil- liam Norman, John Earl, Earl Thomas, Norman Allan, Ronald Philip, Douglas Robert, Robert Bruce, Michael Blake, Danny Pat- rick, Gordon Franklin, Rory James, John Christopher, Patrick Edwin, Lorne Wayne, Kerry Vaughan, Ed- ward Raymond, Brian Patrick, Bruce Richard, David Clifford, Bryan Clarence, Kenneth Gordon and Wayne Allan. Nn Lyn Is Popular Looking over the names given to the seventy girls included in the survey, the Christian name of Lyn, Lynne, Linda or Lynda, tops the list with ten girls given one of these names, Mary or Marie, comes second with nine girls. In third place is Ann or Anne, given to eight of the girls listed. Next in order are Diana or Dianne, 7; Elizabeth, 6; Susan, 5; Louise and Bonnie, 4; Margaret, 3, and Sandra, 2. The trend seems all in the direction of unusual name combinations. Four only of the seventy girls are given single Christian names, these being Caroline, Susan, Sharon and Louise. None of the girls has been blessed with three Christian names. Again for the guidance of puzzled prospective parents, are given some of the double-barrelled name com- binations which have been given to Oshawa and district girls born in the last three and a half months: Lorraine Joyce, Heather Jane, Jan- ice Elaine, Suzanne Lorraine, Dale Louise, Debra Jane, Dianne Sharon, Linda Marie, Gail Elaine, Brenda Frances, Deborah Dianne, Karen Barbara, Kendra Cheryl, Marilyn Charlotte, Sandrp Dale, Judith Micheiene, Denise Darlene, Janice Laurel, Glena Marie, and Sharon So from this survey it would appear .that the old - fashioned simple type of names has passed away, and names with a more poetical flavor are being favored by parents in naming their children. Stone Age Relics Dry Up In Natal Area Pietermaritzburg, South Africa-- (CP)--A wave of interest in arch- aeology is sweeping Natal. Ever since the Natal branch of the South African Archaeological As- sociation was formed some months ago in Pietermaritzburg hundreds of stone age implements have been found, and several expeditions have ylelded interesting data on early man. . The latest discovery consists of two sets of rock painting near the Isandhlwana mountain in the Dun- dee area drawn by the immediate descendants of Stone Age man. The party, led by Prof. O. Da- vies, of the University of Natal, and D. Harland-Bowden, inspector of mines and chairman of the Na- tal branch of the society, visited ravines in the Malonjeni area where many relics were found. Mr. Bowden said that the paint- ings were of a rhinoceros hunt, with one of the hunters in the act of being tossed. "There are two sets of paintings on two different shelter faces, and others near the St. Augustine's mission across the Buffalo River," he added. Coming Events RUMMAGE SALE. SIMCOE ST.

The daily averages for the months of July and August this year were an increase over the general aver- age for the past six months. In July the daily average of children and adults amounted to 203.5 and in August 200.4. Fevenue for July was $56,800 and for August $54,000. Expenses for the first eight months of the year amounted to $457,280 as compared to $409,393 for the same period in 1949. Expenses, which include operating expenses, provision for depreciation and pro- vision for bad debts, amounted to $56,600 in July and $55,500 in Aug- ust. : Patient days during the eight month period amounted to $7,312 and the number of admissions in the same period, 6,039. At the present time there are 218 full time nurses employed at the hospital, 6 part time and 71 students.

Are Wrecking West Regina, Sept. -- (CP) -- More than 70 years ago, a young Assini- boine Indian boy watched as white men slew great herds of buffalo and left the carcasses rotting on the great plains of North America. Ochankugahe, the boy, later went to an Indian school at Lebret, Sask,. and then to St. Boniface College in Winnipeg. He now carries the name they gave him at Lebret -- Dan Kennedy. But he still believes 'the white man do not understand my country." Kennedy is one of the best-known Indians in Saskatchewan and rated a top authority on Indian lore, He says the white man in the west "has been 40 years learning a lesson in conservation that a little animal, the beaver, has always known by instinet." Over-Capitalization "Now in times of prosperity he is over-capitalizing and mining the land with no thought of the future. He has not learned of the inevitable cycle of nature. And yet in his favor it must be said he has turned wasteland into effort. COW MOOSE WITH ANTLERS Chapleau, Sept. 29 -- (CP) -- wildlife specialists here report hav- ing seen a rare sight -- a cow moose with antlers. The cow was observed at Schewabik Take. It was noted that the -antlers were abnormal, short and stubby. CASH BASIS Protagoras was the first Greek philosopher to accept payment for 1950 Harvest In This District Far Above Last Year The 1950 harvest of oats, mixed grain and barley in the Counties of Ontario and Durham far surpass those of 1949 according to preliminary estimates released by the Statistics Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In Ontario County it is estimat- ed that the yield of oats will be" 2,124,000 bushels or 45 bushels to the acre as compared with a total of 1,306,000 bushels or 33 bushels to the acre a year ago. The Dur- ham County yield this year is esti- mated at 1,682,600 bushels or 47 bushels to the acre as against a total of 847,000 bushels or 24 bush- els to the acre in 1949. It is estimated that the total yield of mixed grains in Ontario County this year will be 1,921,500 bushels or 45 bushels to the acre as compared with 1,897,000 bushels or 35 bushels to the acre a year ago. In Durham County the total yield this year is estimated as 1,- 341,600 bushels or 43 bushels to the acre as compared with 1,025,000 bushels or 25 bushels to the acre a year ago. It is estimated that the yield of barley in Ontario County this year will be 261,800 bushels or 34 bushels to the acre as against a total of 226,800 bushels or 28 bushels to the acre in 1949. The total in Dur- ham County is estimated at 110,- 200 bushels or 38 bushels to the acre as compared with 54,600 bush- els or 2% bushels to the acre in 1949, Record Grain Crop Good harvesting weasher between August 4 and 28, and again from September 4 to 9, has enabled farm- ers in Old Ontario to harvest one of the largest grain crops in his- tory. Most of the spring grain crops in all southern counties were cut by August 25, and a consider- able portion was threshed by this date. The quality of this grain, as well as that which was barn stored, is excellent, but ten days of frequent heavy rainfall follow- ing August 25, caused considerable discoloration and some sprouting of grain in stocks. Threshing op- erations are being proceeded with as rapidly as possible, and were completed in a number of counties by the middle of September. In other counties of Old Ontario, this work, which required a great deal of time this year on account of the heavy crops and the delay oc- casioned by the wet weather, will not be finished until near the end of the month. Grain crops developed extremely well in all Northern Ontario dis- tricts during August, but are much later than normal in ripening due both to the late seeding and slow early development due to the preva- lence of cool, wet, weather during June and July. From 20% to 40% of spring grains were cut in the Southern part of Northefn Ontario at September 1st, but practically none in the more northerly sections at this date, The week of Sep- tember: 4th was very favorable for the ripening of grain throughout Northern Ontario, as well as for harvesting operations, with the re- sult that practically 80% of the grain' crop was in stook in Algoma, Timiskaming and Sudbury by Sep- tember 11. In Kenora some grain has been cut, but the bulk of the crop is somewhat green, and in Cochrane only about 10% had been cut with the prospect that most of the fields in north Cochrane would be cut green on account of the weather. The September estimate places the 1950 yield of Ontario grain crops at approximately 208,000,000 bushels, the greatest outturn since 1920. This estimate compares with 160,000,000 bushels harvested . in 1949, and an average annual pro- duction of 152,000,000 bushels dur- ing the ten-year period 1940-1949, The yield per acre of fall wheat is now estimated at 32.1 bushels per acre, as compared with 31.0 bushels estimated at August 1st. The acreage harvested and the yield per acre were both above average, and the total crop was the largest ever harvested in Ontario. Total production for 1950 will approxi- mate 29,789,000 bushels, as com- pared with 24,714,000 bushels in 1949, and an annual average of 19,951,000 bushels during the ten years 1940-1949. The quality of much of the crop is excellent, but some fields suffered from heavy rains at harvest time and the grain was reduced to feed grade. Bumper Spring Grain Yield Practically all counties obtained a bumper yield of spring grains this season. The acreage of oats seeded in 1950 amounted to 2,128,- 000 acres, as against 2,086,000 acres in 1949, and a ten-year average 1940-1949, of 1,823,000 acres. The yield per acre, for this same com- parison amounts' to 44.6 bushels per acre, as compared with 34.5 bushels, and 35.8 bushels per acre, respectively. The total production of oats for this season is now estimated at 94,900,000 bushels. This compares with' 72,000,000 a year ago, and a ten-year average, 1940-1949, of 65,- 000,000 bushels. The production of mixed grains also shows a similar substantial increase, with this year's acreage unting to 1,- 144,000 acres aS against 1,211,000 acres a year ago, and a ten-year average of 1,007,000 acres. The yield per acre is the highest ever recorded, being placed at 46.1 bush- els this year, as against 35.3 bush- els in 1949, and a ten-year average of 374 bushels. The total crop is expected to approximate 52,738,- 000 bushels and compares with 42,748,000 bushels a year ago, and a ten-year average for the years 1940-1949 of 37,711,000 bushels. Pastures were in fairly dry con- dition during the first three weeks of August in Essex, Kent, Elgin, the Niagara district, and Timiskaming, but has shown substantial im- provement following general heavy rainfall at the end "of the month, his teacching, J In other sections of the province, pastures were generally good throughout the whole of August and are now in excellent condition as a result of the substantial a= between August 25 and September 2. Milk flow, per cow, is at a nor- counties, but the total milk pro~ duction is down somewhat, due to a slight decrease in the milk cow population. The production of cheese in August was down 11.6% from August 1949, and the produc- tion of creamery butter for the same comparison was down 4.3%. Some farmers feel the price of using their milk to raise calves. Haying Unusually Prolonged The weather during August and early September, was favorable for the growth of alfalfa, and a con- siderable amount of second cut alfalfa has been harvested. Hay- ing was unusually prolonged this season and was continuing in Northern Ontario during the first week of September. The total crop of hay and clover for the province as a whole, is now estimated at 4,254,000 tons as against 3,689,000 tons in 1949, and a ten-year aver- age during 1940-1949 of 5,146,000 tons. The output of alfalfa is estimated at 1,747,000 tons for 1950, as compared with 1,428,000 tons last year, and a ten-year average of 1815000 tons. The final pro duction of hay and clover is con- siderably higher than anticipated earlier this season, and together with the corn for fodder crop will provide sufficient winter forage in practically all counties, Late crops generally promise quite satisfactory yields. The corn crop, both for fodder and for husk- ing, is two to three weeks later in maturing this year, but has de- veloped well in Old Ontario during the past month and particularly during the week of September 3rd to 9th. With the absence of frosts during the whole month of Sep= tober, it is expected the yields of husking corn will be practically normal. Frost damage before mae turity would greatly reduce pros- pects of a satisfactory yield. In some districts of Northern Ontario, corn was badly frozen on August 21st, and the yield of fodder corn will be very low. However, only a small acreage is grown in this area. Soy beans have developed ex- tremely well in the heavy produc- ing sections of South-western One tario, and good yields are indicat ed. Combining will commence in Essex about September 16th. Weeds are more numerous than usual in fields of soy beans in some coun- ties due to the wet weather. The soy bean acreage at 142,000 acres shows a substantial gain from the 103,000 acres grown last year. Total production of this crop is now forecast at 3,096,000 bushels, as against 2,605,000 bushels in 1949, and an annual average of 1,310,000 bushels during the period 1943 to 1949. Dry beans have been somewhat affected by the prevalence of cool wet weather and the yield per acre is estimated at 17.6 bushels, as against 19.5 bushels in 1949. This year's crop is now placed at 1,« 142,000 bushels as compared with 1,578,000 bushels in 1949. The acre age showed a considerable reduc- tion, declining from 80,900 acres in 1949, to 64,900 in 1950, Good Root Crop Turnips and mangolds have de- veloped well in most counties and promise an above average yield. Harvesting of early table turnips has been under way for some time. The late potato crop, which prom- ised very high yields a month ago, has been affected by excessive blight damage in Waterloo, Well- ington, and Perth counties, and considerable damage from the same cause in a number of other coun- ties. Tops were completely frozen in different parts of Northern One tario during the latter part of Au- gust. The early potato crop gave exceptionally high yields however, and the average yield for all pota- toes is now placed at 178 bushels per acre, as against 160 bushels la year, and 176.6 bushels in OIL CONTRACTS LANDER STARK OIL LTD.
