This has caused many farmers to change their plans reports Mr. Wall. Those who normally buy beef feeder clttle in the fall have not been able to do so because of uncertainty over their water supply. l Big worry now is that the ground may freeze before there are a few good downpours. If‘ this happens the wells may not fill up and the drought condi- tions would continue over the winter. for a one-point charge in this growing community. «Buttonville .WIr» w» Parts of eastern Ontario also are in the throes of severe drought conditions, reports Wendell Snow director of soils and crops branch of the De- partment of Agriculture.

In Canada, because of drought in the east and in the Prairies and too much rain in the far west, higher food prices are predicted for 1965. The Ontario farmers, 10,000 strong. are to come to Ottawa to démand government aid to meet economic setbacks and severe drought conditions. Forestry Minister Sauve. who sometimes speaks in the Com- mons on Eastern Canadian agriculture, said in the House last week he would be happy to see the delegation. He said he and Agriculture Minister Harry Hays would re. ceive the farmers. “Will he IMr. Hays) be here?" asked Arnold Peters (NDPâ€"Timiskamingl. Hon. Paul Marineau (PCâ€" Pontiac-Temiscamingue) refer~ red to the plans of the farmers to come to Ottawa ”to protest the inaction of the government." Mr. Martineau mentioned news- paper reports which told of the determination of the Ontario farmers to seek some assistance from the tederai government. There is some indication that farmers from Quebec will join their brothers from Ontario in protesting their economic con- dition to Ottawa. The Ontario Farmers’ Union‘ is organizing the march. It is seeking support from the Na- tional Farmers‘ Union and the Quebec Farmers‘ Union. The prevailing winds in the northeast this year have been westerlles and this is why American meteorolo- gists say, the area is suffer- ing its worst drought since 1930. Rainstorms here are nor- mally carried up by winds from the south, coming off the Gulf of Mexico. There have been few such gusts this year. The westerlies drop most of their moisture west of the Rockies, 3 region that is experiencing unusually heavy rainfall this year. By the time they get to the Atlantic they are dry. No one knows exactly what causes the changes in wind patterns and the re- sulting changes in climate. Two theories, however have gained wide accept- ance. The first theory holds that they are related to changes in the sunspot cy- cle: the second relates them to a long-term interaction between the atmosphere and the oceans. . $80.00 and Up PRACTICE, (Cased) Drum K1t ...$ Drum Outfit . $165.00 Complete 11.30 am.
