between so and 90c a dozen was paid by the wholesaler for the fruit halvests alone at 75 the old saying that a man is just as old as he feels still goes apparent ly and certainly holds in the case of mr john pallister of the north town- line who has just completed har vesting the entire crop from his 100acre farm all by himself but thats not allmr pallister also cele brated his 75th birthday on friday august 1st he cut and hauled in over twentyfive loads of hay besides his entire grain crop without the aid of a single other hand this veteran townline farmer resident of here for over thirty years is to be ngratulated on this occasion and also for his fine achievement despite the labour shortage mistaken for roost haiders apparently the recent chicken thieving in the neighborhood has put the nerves of local farmers on edge as two of our younger set narrowly escaped being whisked away to the coop last saturday night when they were mistaken for roost robbers the couple resident on sth con were returning from stouffville in the small hours when their car failed to function near the yake sideroad on the 9th leaving their lights burning the two unfortunates set out on foot a mat ter of some four or five miles sever al farmers in the vicinity hurried out to look over their poultry while it is said another phoned for the police but ere they arrived the identity of the stalled vehicle was disclosed department of munitions and supply tell story of munitions plant in view of the fact that the large shell filling plant in pickering township is rapidly hearing comple tion and since nearly three score local men are working in the con struction of the plant the story of what will transpire when the plant commences operation may prove interesting take a passing look at an ex plosive bomb a 500 pound one it is 6 inches high as it stands on end and is inches across it is made of cast steel black and forbidding in appearance shaped much like the churns in the country in the old days when dairy butter was an art- cle of commerce and before barrel churns were invented loaded with its proper complement of tnt and ammonium nitrate sealed with the firing appliance and the directive fins attached it is not difficult to see in the eye of the mind the devas tating power of this instrument of war produced in canadian plants a filling plant is as clean as a hos pital ward it is absolutey cen the visitor wears clepn rubbers provided by the plant these rubbers are used for nothing else but walking on clean floors matches lighters and other trinkets are left behind when the visitor starts on his trip of in spection the clothes of fhe work men are clean they wear a standard uniform the men leave their suits behind when they leave the plant they are trained to quiet efficient workin a place where carelessness might mean loss of life and serious danger to property carefulness be comes an ingraned charactertisic the enormous size of the plant the extent of the operations the move- ment of traffic in and out gives a j profound and lasting impression of i the tremendous activity developed in canada as a result of the war when the shells leave the factory where they are made they are clean the filling plant cleans them again they might have taken n some extraneous substance on the journey they are then poured this is done in several operations a smoke box is added the men who are matching the firing of these sheils want to know where they hit smoke will prove the indicator when the filling operation is com plete they are sealed varnished ready for shipment they are stor ed in arsenals ready for the jour ney to their final destination when they explode on the field of battle they exert a pressure of 50 tons to the square inch all munitions plants have certain common characteristics they occupy large ground areas the buildings are low they employ large numbers of men 3000 in a shift two shifts to the day in one plant they are away from large business centres but life seems to go on a good deal more calmly in a munition plant or shell or bomb loading plant than in the ordinary busy hive of industry j the guns of napoleon fired one shot per hour at waterloo the 75s of the french in the great war ran 20 to 25 per minute the bofors antiaircraft gun fires 120 per min ute time which brought these mod ifications changed also the relative size of munitions plants from one war to another put six men at work on the home front to one on the war front these are the factors that have increased tremendously the material

people it serves than that of the implement industry and farming its inception was the making available to other farmers the tools which one ingenious farmer developed to lighten his own labors and enable him to accomplish more in the alwaystooshort seasons its support by farmers to the point which has enabled the building of organiza tions financially strong enough and technically equipped to carry on large scale experimental engineering has increased its efficiency and usefulness to the benefit of every farmer in the implement engineer the farmer has had a partner ever intent on finding easier and more profitable ways of doing the iobs lie has to do the cooperation of the implement maker in this respect has transformed farming and made farm life pleasantcr and more profitable a cooneration that really counts masseyh arris company limited continued from page two appeal to canadians to eat less pork but apparently the voluntary cur tailment in pork purchases was in sufficient to meet the increased british requirements in announcing that britain has asked to have this years contract filled by about sept 15 mr gardner said the increased rate of shipment necessary to comply with this re quest will require that every hog market in canada during the next two months be available for export to the united kingdom or for dis tribution on the domestic market on the completion of the present agreement for 425000000 pounds of bacon hams and other cuts on sept 15 1941 it is anticipated that the agreement for the following 12 months will call for the delivery by canada of 600000000 pounds of bacon ham and other cuts tho larger order will necessitate a substantial increase in tho can adian production of hogs air gardiner said the increase in price payable to packers for export bacon is in order to bring the value of bacon in canada closer to parity with the present price of hogs in the united states it is the fourth increase since the agreement was signed last autumn britain financed the first may 1 in crease of 1 and canrda has financ ed the three subsequent 75eent ra ises hog prices in the united stales have continued to advance sharply inducing a flow of live
