ELECTRICITY TO AID VICTORY

You may be able to turn back the clock, but you
can’t hold back Mother Nature. When farm
production of foodstuffs gets under way it’s a
** *round the clock” job and the primary producer
needs all the help he can get hold of.

That’s why the fullest use of existing electrical
farm equipment is so important—because in
many jobs electrical farm equipment saves hours
of time, keeps production well up even with the
handicap of labor shortages.

On farms, in shops and factories, electricity is

helping the cause of Victory. Look after your
equipment, let it serve to the very maximum.

If you have any electrical problems take them
to your nearest B.C. Electric agent. He’s

TO 62 CENTS

For the third time in its history
Fraser
Association raised its
rate for June, usually a month of
good production and tiequently
of lower rates.

Settling rate is now 62 cents,
a raise of 4 cents a
pounds.on skim and 2 cents on
butterfat. Skim is now 48 cents
359 2nd butterfat 50 cents.

June rate laSt year was 48
cents.

Part of the increase is due to
the higher rate paid by Associat-
ed Dairies. Up 7 cents to 72 cents
4.69 334 a pound butterfat. This is higa-
er than the ceiling allowed by
the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board and is result of special

The Co-operative’s highest set-
tling rate was $1.05 a pound in
the winter of 1919-20. In 1920 the | i eens:

more food than ever before, Food is one of the most
powerful weapons of war. Grains, bacon, dairy pro-
ducts, eggs, beef, fruit, vegetables—FOOD to feed
our armies, our allies and our people we must have.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

professional man, an office or store clerk—no matter
what you are, if you haye a few hours, days, weeks,
or months of free time this summer, you can do

service by helping out on the farm. You may be
inexperienced, but you still can help. You will find
work on the farm healthy and congenial. It will give
you the satisfaction of feeling that you have brought
