NORTH C AIIN AIIV ON SHI IlE WAIl AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE. I FARM LABOURERS AND THE WAGES BOARD. A meeting of the North Carnarvonshire War Agricultulral Committee was held at Liaxt- dudno Junction on Saturday, Mr T. Griffith, J.P., presiding. It was reporte d that a notice, embracing an order for cultivation would be served o aS the farmers, and that facilities would be given for any appeal to be made against the order on re- ceipt of an intimation with parti cu la re within seven days from the service of the notice, givin.g grounds of objection. It was decided to hold meetings throughout the district, to which farm labourers will be invited, with a view of explaining to them their right to nominate representatives on the Wagee Boand to be oreated, the committee being desirous of secur- ing the co-operation of the employer and employ- ed in the great struggle to ensure adequate food supplies for the people. It was ivsolved to recommend the establish- ment of a depot at Llandudno Juncbion to re- ceive garden produce grown within the area in order to dispatch it to consumers, thereby secur- ing a ready market and ruling prices. It was also decided to recommend that an agricultural horse depot be established at Con- way to provide facilities for ihose who do not keep horses, for ploughing, to furnish particulars at once of the probable requirements. The Joir.t Committee's report regarding the Con way Valley drainage scheme was received, and testified to the fact that every effort is be- ing mado to do something to improve the con- ditions for the 1918 cropping season.

I MORE WINTER EGGS. I HOW POULTRY-KEEPERS CAN INCREASE PRODUCTION. It is a common error to suppose that cold weather is the cause of the scarcity of eggs, writes "Man of Kent." Temperature has no- thing whatever to do with egg-production. Nor has weather. Eggs are eoarcest in the la«t three months of the year because the old hens have not fully recovered from the moult, while the young pullets are not, as a rule, fully matured. This season I made my old birds moult in July, and by October the majority of them were lay- ing again. I thus lost the sale of eggs for six v/eeks at about 2- 6d a dozen but am now get- ting six weeks earlier than usual egga that bring me 4s 6d a dozen—net gain 2s a dozen for six weeks. To make the birds moult early one must shut off three-parts of tlieor food for a few days in the warm weather, and as soon as the floor of the house is fui'-l cl leathers food must be made rich and plentiful to caeouir-age the new growth. If poultry-kccp-i.ru do not get eggs from their pullets in October and November it is because they have not. hatched* them out early enough. Two weeks in the early spring is worth, so fa.r aa development is concerned, two months in early elmmer.

I TALE OF CLTVYD METHODISTS APPEAL ) TO FARMERS. The following resolution llia6 been adopted by the Vale of Clwyd C.M. Monthly Meeting: "TUmt having regard to the perilous position of our country at the present time through suffer- ing from a dearth of foodstuffs, and' the greater dearth foreshadowed by experts, we ur.ge upoji farmers to abstain from disposing of grmiii far use in the manufacture of intoxicating drinks; that we ask every congregation in the die.trict tp adopt a similar resolution on Temperance Sun- day, November 11th."

j FAR M Is PTES. Reporting upon last week's markets, the Board of Agriculture state tha.t there has been a further slight reduction in supplies of fat cattle, but not to any marked extent. Trade and prioes show very little change, although the tendency ie, if anything, towards sAighTbly firmer quotations. Certain fluctuations naturally occur owing to local conditions of supply and demand., but tak- ing the markets all through the average price for shorthorns of the best quality is now about 178 2d, and for rseoond quality 15s 8d, per 141b. stone, or only 1d more thaii the previolit) week. With regard to live weight prioes, best quality fiWrfchorna are n.ow making 75B 9d, and secon- dary sorts 68s 3d per live cwt., against 75s and 676 6d respectively the previous week, or a rise of about 9d on the week. Sheep have also been shown in smaller num- but trade remains practically unchanged, prioe<3 at several markets showing an advance of F to id per lb. Th t ?"(?ZI. over all markets '000 not show !my appreciable cltange on the week, best qualiq Downs and cro&?-biNis again making ncrurly 164d per lb. The demand for fat owes oontinuee very good. Supplies of pigs are again rather larger, but the upward trend of prices lias continued bacons being on the average about 7d, and porkers 6d, per atone dearer than lafrt week. Store cattle continue in good demand, and prices generally mark a further advance on the "week, although at the Shrews/bury special sale average quotations were slightly below tlioee 'of the previous week. Dairy cows also show an advance in price at many markets; best quality cows in milk now avetm,ge £47 13s, or nearly twice as much as in the corresponding week in 1914, when the average was £ 24 9s per head. At Crewe on Monday, an association was formed of breeders of shorthorn oatrle from Cheshire, Lancashire, and the Midlands. There was great shortage of labour at New- castle hirings tor single farm servants on Mon- day, men and boys being part oularly sc-arce and the former getting as as 12,8 for tie half-year. As a result of the high rainfall! during the lasrt few weeks, it is to be fee.,red that the area of autumn sown grain will be comparatively email unless special measures are taken by those for- tunately situated with regard to Sol]. Alucli of the heavy wheat lajid is now so sodden that the area of wheat gown on this land must be con- siderably reduced. tl iof., farm i t),g light dry In these circumstances, those farming light dry land are urged to make special efforts, and in par- ticular- it is hoped that on land too poor or light for wheat, rye will be sown. — 1 • From a national point of view, the cultivation of rye is highly desiiiable at the present time, not only on account of the suitability of the grain for miiiinig—in which respect it staildis next to wheat—but because it is ready for harvest &ome lilttle time before spring-sown .corn. Any far- mer having difficulty in securing seeds should apply to the Agricultural Executive Committee for his oounity. The reduction of the price of Danish butter to the level of that of Irish wall stimulate the demand but will not improve the supply. Dan- ish dairy farming is quite upset by the war. It was the pride ot the Danish farmer to produce butter in winter s-urprussing the summer quality, and he did it by scientific feeding; of his cattle. In day,, he cannot get the feeding stuffs that he was formerly in the habit of importing from England. and it follows that he cannot maintain either the output or the qua!itv of his butter.

STOCK SALES. I LLANERCIIYMEDiD &MITHFIELD. I uno lortnigntly pale tielcl at their uentrai An- glesey Saleyard by Mess-re W. Ddew and Son and R.

I FOOD RESTRICTIONS I BUTTER SHORTAGE. I COLLIERS' PROTEST AT LLANDILO. Considerable excitement prevailed at the Lla-n- diio Market, where farmers were charging 3s a lb. for butter in pats and 2a 8d and 2s lOd in tubs. Many colliers attended and insisted upon being supplied. The butter merchants mad e wholesale purcliases, and the colliers demanded that no butter should be allowed to leave the town until local people had been supplied. A queue was formed, several merchants' vans were seized, and the police took control of the contents, which were sold on the epot. Several farmers during the uproar took advantage of the opportunity to remove their stock from the market, and were observed hurrying home with it. ANGRY CROWD AT CARLISLE. There were tumultuous scenes at Carlisle But- ter Market, caused by the ehortage of butter supplies, and an attempt by the dealers to buy wholesale and divert, it to other centres where the maximum wa higher than that fixed by the Car- lisle Food Control Committee. Dealers were l surrounded by angry women, and through official intervention the butter was served out in pound packets for local domestic use. FOOD MINISTRY'S ATTITUDE. Lampeter Food Committee has received a let- ter from the Ministry of Food stating that it is not considered advisable at present to place re- strictions 011 the sale of butter from one area to another. A seheme was being worked out to ensure equitable distribution of all available but- ter tttrougthout Great Britain. DISAPPOINTED HOUSEHOLDERS AT ABEIWELE. LITTLE SUPPLY IN THE MARKET. 1 __L £ 1. Following an extraordinary snoriage 01 iarui- house buUer experienced in the neighbourhood of Abergele during the week-end, a ilirge num- ber of people assembled on Monday morning at the market in anticipation of the arrival of the customary consignments of produce from the country farmhouses, ihe weary wait proved of very little avail, however, for only a very small supply of butter—a few pounds—was brought into the building. Residents were loud in their criticism of the action of the local Food Control Committee in fixing the price of butter while other Commit tees in the immediate neighbourhood had not yet done so. If you want to fix prices, get them fixed everywhere—or else the sellers will natur- ally take their produce to those markets where the biggest prices rule, and you can't blame them." So said some of the residents who had come there bent on buying. It is stated that in some instances dealcrR suc- ceeded in prevailing upon one or two farmers' wives who were wending, their way to tht mar- ket to sell their stocks at a figure in advance of the fixed maximum price mentioned in the Food Committee's schedule.

SUGAR FOR CATERERS. An Order has been made by the Food Con- troller under the Defence of the Realm Act for regulating the supplies of sugar to manufactur- ers, caterers, and iiistitutiariis. The provasilOTIS preclude the purchase and delivery after Novem- ber 4th of any sugar for the purposes of any manufacturing or catering businesses except m accordance with the prescribed procedure which has been set up to enforce the necessary restric- tions upon the consumption of sugar by such businesses.

I BONDED STOCKS OF TEA. T ? ?. ? I I The Food Controller has informed lVlIa Lougn that the bonded stocks of tea on November were 33,500,000lb., as oompared with 130,700,000 on November 1, 1916. It must not be assumed that all this quantity lino been actually landed or is available for immediate consumption.

She was Without Healthy Skin from Head to Foot and could hardly bear to stand, sit, or lie down. I took her to the doctors, but she seemed to get no better. After six weeks I took her to a skin hospital, and I kept her under their treatment for five mont hs. They gave me ointments for her, but they did her no good. She got worse. I then bought some 4 Clarke's Blood Mixture' for her, and am now very thankful, for her life is due to the wonderful cure it has made of her. In a further letter recently received Mrs. Thornton writes Nellie is a fine young woman now, and has never ailed anything since she was clFed by your wonderful I Clarke's Blood Mixture.'
