Cool temperatures during the past week have materially re- tarded growth and development of many crops, and conditions have been favorable for the de- velopment and spread of disease infestations. Blackberries are ripening rap- idly and berries of ood size and quality are being picked. Pick- ing of plums has been going for- ward rapidly and prunes are now underway, crops however are generally light. Apples are siz- ing and coloring well, and fall varieties are maturing rapidly. Vegetables are plentiful, but tomatoes, corn and warm season vegetables have been developing slowly during the Past week, Po- tato crops continue to indicate good yields, but “late blight” is becoming more general in sev- eral areas, x Tobacco is being handled Tap- idly now and while there is a reduced acreage it is anticipated that yields will be above aver- age. Hop picking is in full swing having started during the past week. Most fields are showing a medium to heavy production with pickers doing well. ———_— Ss THANKSGIVING OCT, 11 Thanksgiving Day in Canada will "be observed October 11 this year, it is announced by the sec- retary of state’s department, The late George Herbert John- ston of Naftaimo, a great war veteran, has left a legacy of $514.66 to the Red Cross branch there, Don't Delay! —Have electrical —rtepairs made now —while most —repair parts —and replacements —are still available JACK A.

A farmer slaughterer is one who kills for his own use and | not for sale except to farmer neighbors. A few simple requirements are necessary to place such an operator in a legal position. He must send his name and address to his nearest local ration board. From this board he will receive the proper form to fill in and a registration card authorizing him to slaughter. That's all there is to it—but a large number of farmer slaugh- terers have not yet complied with this requirement, Dairy Butter Farmer producers of dairy but- ter have also been somewhat lax in observing the board’s regula- tions. Such producers are requir- ed to register with their local ra- tion board and on doing so will 1eceive a registration form, They are not restricted in sales. They may sell to anyone but in re- turn must collect the requisite coupons or other ration docu- ments. Beekeepers Now that noney 1s rationed, there are regulations governing the sale of this product. Beexeepers who sell less than 2000 pounds a year are required to register with their local ration board and get the necessary reg- istration forms, There is no re- striction As to sale except that they collect in return the proper number of D coupons in ration book No. 3, or other ration docu- ments. . Beekeepers who sell more than 2000 pounds a year do not regis- ter with local ration boards but at the regional office, Vancouver, the local offices of the WPTB at Victoria and Prince Rupert or the ration office at Kelowna, whichever is most convenient, These honey dealers are re- quired to make monthly reports on their sales. Lamb Prices Tuesday, August 31, marked the end of the period during Which sales of fresh lamb have been under the price ceiling es- tablished on July 21, the War- time Prices & Trade Board's food administration pointed out.
