Obéy the Fire Marshal‘s order posted on the machine. Set the engine or tractor well away from straw or any 3. other readily combustible matcrial. Prevent loads of sheaves from standing or passing near to the engine‘s exhaust. Especially in wartime it is every farmer‘s duty to prevent threshing fires from starting.

You can see that with shipping at a premium and with every merchantman a target for enemy mbmrmcs,mnunon is indeed critical. More wool must be produced at home and it‘s up to Ontario farmers to help produce it. The Ontario Department of Agriculture is working to effect an increase of 25% in this province. To do this, all present flocks must be kept, and in addition, 110,000 ewe lambs from the 19!2 crop must be kept on the farm. If every E:esent flock owner kept three ewes from this crop, most of the increase would obrained. But since many sheep owners cannot accommodate any more animais, the Department is asking Ontario farmers to establish 1,000 new flocks which will absorb all surplus ewe lambs. Your Agricultural Refusenudve will be able to put you in touch with men who have lambs for sale or men who wish to purchase them. In establishing 1,000 new flocks, it is intended that expansion take place by counties in proportion to the present sheep population. You will see whar expansion must be accomplishedpt in your county in the lists below. ‘Cfirmgfi "&" Renfrew zu-lno Lennox & Addington Touskp Requree â€" ois es s Muskoke Bruce PRODUC]NG more wool to clothe Og::: fighting forces and her civil population is a vital task which es the earnest considerâ€" ation of every Ontario farmer.
