Last week at the Dominion-Pro- vlncial agricultural conference in Ottawa.

Badly

Burned In Gas Fire Near Summon-side

_ Two men were quite badly burn- ed about 7.30 last evening at Ross Corner, about six miles from Sum- merslde. when a can of Ianllne caught fire. The injured are Hol- lis Cameron of that district, who is in a. serious condition, and Walter Campbell 0f Freetown, who ls less seriously burned,

The accident occurred in a gar- age owned Mr. Cameron. He had been down in the pit draining gasoline from the tank of an auto- mobile. Afler the fuel had been completely drained into a five gal- Ion can he attempted to ifit the can out of the pit to the floor of the garage. Before he could do this it suddenly became a mass of flame. ignited supposedly from a lantern which was standing on the floor about six feet away. His clothing caught fire at the same time and he put the can down on the floor 01 the pit and attempt- ed to climb out.

Waiter Campbell went to his rescue and with (he assistance of Lorne Reeves, who was also pres- ent. pulled him out and wrapped his blazing body in a tarpauiln which probably saved his life.

MONCTON. Dec. 10 -—— A warn- ing to Maritime farmers not. to cut down 0n food production in. i948 was sounded here today by JE. McIntyre, agricultural agent, Atlantic Region, Canadian Nation- al Railways. The Maritime farmer has not. had so much incentive to increase his production for a great many years, he stated. Recent reports that fertilizers in the Marltlmes would be up twenty percent. in i918 were a bit. exag- gerated, said Mr. McIntyre, Quot- ﬂllﬁns for immediate delivery were about twelve percent above last year's prices. On the basis of 450 to 500 pounds per acre on grain. this would mean an increased cost 0f approximately one dollar for fertilizer against an increase in value of between ten and fifteen dollars on the cmp produced.
