- ^'^-Ji*/-- 'JÂ¥' : ,WTDNESDAY, AUGUST 9. 1933 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE TURTI.I-: TURNS UP AFTER TEN YEARS Ten years ago when the Credit wat- ers were low at Cheltenham a huge turtle with a shell big enough to epoTt a passenger acros« the rivej was taken from the river anil given a royal welcome by the citizenship On its hardened shell a few of the boyj painstakingly carved their in- itials and tht'n released it. Th* other day with the mill running Credit, waters appreciably decr«a8ed in depth and lo and behold the Chelt- enham turtle was again located by the boys, the same turtle with tht tell-tale initials. More initiak wert carved on its shelly surface and it wss again released. Jn another de- cade the centenarian may again visit the village for apparently it is quite content to pa.ss its remaining years in the .waters of the Credit at Chelt- enham. â€" Erin Advocate. Elevators in the Chrysler building in New York went out of commission for 14.5 minutes and |>eople could neither go up nor down. Well they were better off than the folk who were dabbling in stocks on Wall street; they were at cast holding their own. Glenelg Farmer Had Heavy Loss By Fire â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED?

Duncan Phone 54 - - FLESHERTON Local and Personal Mr. James I.*wrence, of Glenelg. about three miles north of town on the Provincial Highway, had a ser- ious loss by fire about 7.45 o'clock last Saturday morning when his barn containing a'.but 75 loads of hay and whatever other harvest had been garnered, together with some ten or twelve pig.s and 50 chickens was de- stroyed by fire. The whole building was consumed in slightly over hall an haur, but how the fire started i.s a complete mystery, the only plaus- ible solution being that it was cauaeti by sfontaneous combustion. Mr. Lawrence was away at the time, liaving left the previous Mon- day to visit his jon, Allister, at Til- bury. The farm was in charge ol Mrs. Lawrence and two daughters Misses Corine and Glenna. The latter had gone to the fields earliei in the morning for the cow-s, whkh had been driven into the stable to bt milked. \Vhen retua-niag to the house Miss Glenna heard an oxplo.^iion and immediately afterward great vol- umes of smoke commenced rolling from the building. Almost immed- iately the building was a mass of flames and nothing could be done to save the structure. One of the truck drivers on the highway construction gang who was passing at the time, stopped his truck long enough lo rush into the building and release the cows and was considerably burned in doing so. â€" Durham Chronicle.

Potato Growers Advised Not To Sell Too Cheaply Giawerg would be well advised to. refuse to accept less than |1.60 to $1.75 per bag at the farm for good- quality potatoes, says C. W. Bauer,. Secretary of the Ontario Growers' Markets CounciL Many growers who are familiar with crop and mar- ket conditions are refusing to accept less than $2 per bag, realizing that with the short crop this price will be easily obtained before the late crop is ready to be harvested. Even with the Increase in prices, the net returns per acre of potatoes will be considerably below that of a year ago. From information obtainable from other potato-producing (districts in the Dominion the 1933 crop will be considerably below that of the last several years, while reports from the United States indicate a drop of over 60,000,000 bushels from: last year. The unscrupulous trucker travels miles daily from grower to grower bearing down on the price, and us- ually is successful in findin'g some grower who is not up to date with market conditions and possibly strikes a bargain away below market values. He then is in a position to undersell' his competitors, resulting in a gen- eral market weakening not at all in keeping with the law of supply and demand. Naturally the grower Is the one who suffers. Recent estimates received from re- liable sources place the early potato crop at no more than 50 i>er cent, at a normal crop. Prices to the trade on the wholesale market recently were $1.75 to $2.25 per bag, according to grade and qual- ity, while other sources were quoting- $1.35 to $1.60 for the same quality, delivered to Toronto.
