Daily Times the After Sotho Hours--~Phone 359, REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON 'BOYS' GRAINGLUB INONTARIO COUNTY - Young Men Wishing to Start Growing Good = Grain Have the Opportunity A year ago the local branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture undertook to encourage distribution . throughout the County of registered ~geed grain of recommended varieties, Ninety-six young men were provided with seed to sew from 1 to § acres. They were also provided with a 50- 1b. sample of fertflizer fo try out as an experiment and the boys who re ceived seed oats were each supplied with a 4 oz. sample of formalin with instructions for treating oats {for Smut, The grain on the whole turned out very well, Almost invariably the boys took particular care with their plots and the result is most of the crop is being used as seed this year. The fertilizer in the case of the oats produced a 9.4 bushel ver acre in- crease in yield and in barley 9.8 bus- hels, This increase, however, fell considerably short .of paying for the fertilizer at present grain prices, * The cost records turned in by the boys were also interesting «« One group of 23 boys duced 61.5 "bushels of oats at a cost of .3l¢, One group of 45 boys produced 49 bushels of oats at a cost ot 4lc. One group of 29 boys produced 38 bushels of oats at a cost of .50c. = This work is being carried on again and seed grain of the following vari- _eties and grades will be made avail- able to young farmers through the "county.

FANNING MILL'S USE IS URGED ON LOCAL FARMERS Result of Seed Drill Survey is Published by W. M. Croskery to get a start | In the spring of 1930 the local branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture grranged for the collection of samples of grain from seed drills throughout 'the county analysis sheet for each sample. 141 in all, wer bagged up and sent to the Dominion Seed Branch, Ottawa, for analysis and gradi-s. On being gridded they were sent back to the local department with alalysis sheet for each sample. These samples are now being re- turned to the farmers from whose drills they were collected with the following information: Summary of this survey; Domin- ion Seed Branch certificate giving details of analysis of sample; In- formation with reference to fan- ning mill sievés whieh may be of use if re-equipped fanning mills; List of hardware merchants in On- tarfo county who have signified their willingness to stock or order sieve material; A partial list of seed cleaning plants in Qntario county who are prepared to do custom seed cleaning. Two of thess, namely that of J. W. Real, Ux- bridge and Chas. Wilson, Brooklin, are just being installed for work this spring; Information re smut treatment, Information re smut treatment. The summary of this seed drill survey shows that of the 141 sam- ples taken, 12 were absolutely free of all weeks. \ Twenty-five graded No. 1 (no primary noxious, .06 secondary nox., 4.4 others), weed seeds per 1b. of grain 300 seeds per acre. Founteen graded No. 2 (no pri- mary noxious, 4 sécondary nox, 13 others), 1200 seeds per acre. Seventeen graded No. 3 (1.4 primary noxious, 8 secondary nox., 22 others), 1800 seeds per acre. Twenty-seven rejected on ac- count of containing average of 191 weed seeds per 1b, 13,370 seeds per acre. Fifty-eight rejected on account of containing weed seeds and other varieties of grain. One sample of oats being sown actually contained 200 pladder campion seeds per 1b.--14,000 per acre. The point of course seems ob- vious and that is that the old fan- ning mill is either not being used to clean up seed grain or else it id inefficient through lack of proper sieves.

Apply MYSTERY PLAYS ARE DEPICTED BY LITTLE THEATRE Continued from page 1) trance to the dining-room, After a short interval the curs tain' 'vode again on a setting de- picting the interior of an English cottage which was the scene of the clever mystery play "The Monkey's Paw." . Mrs, Mary Smith as Mrs. White and J. A, Kennedy as Mr. White were excellent in their parts as the simple English country couple dwelling in their humble home with their son Herbert. which role was played extremely well by Bud Rowden, Seated com- tortably in their little dwelling on a stormy night with flashes of lightning piercing the dim light of the room and weird sounds of the wind whistling about, the White family awaits a visit of an old friend who has recently returnea from the wars in the East, Morris the guest who arrives in the night, was played by Louis Austin, His story of the mythical 'monkey's paw," was well told, He leaves the White home and leaves with the White family the monkey's paw which is supposed to have been charmed by some Eastern faker so that its possessor will be granted any three wishes he cares to make. White wishes first for two hundred pounds. At this point the curtain falls, to be rung up again after an inter- val of a few moments, representing a lapse of twenty-four hours. This next scene introduced another char. acter, a visitor to the White home, played by Joseph D. O'Brien. He comes to convey the sad news that Herbert has been killed and offers on the part of the firm which he represents, two hundred pounds of compensation to Herbert's parents Mrs. Smith displays some clever acting as the mother of the dead boy. The last scene, which is sup- posed to have taken place ten days later, 1s in the same room in the White home. There are two wishes left. White, after persuasion on the part of his wife makes the wish that their son be restored to them Immediately follows a knocking at the door, both believe it is Herb rt. Then follows the best acting of the whole evening when White in a frenzy, frightened at the awfulness of the thought of his son being re- stored from the dead, very dra- matically clutches the monkey's paw and makes the wish "back to the grave." The story is exciting enough but a thrill was added to it last evening by the splendid acting on the part of all members of the cast. The ware dealers throughout the county and the farmer as a producer of get sieve material for repairing fanning mills for anyone wishing to order same, In addition a move Is on foot to encourage community custom seed cleaning plants. A number of local millers throughout the county have clipper machines and have signi- fled their willingness to clean up grain or seeds for farmers at a small charge and two new com- munity plants are being installed {at Uxbridge and Brooklin and lithould be ready for service shortly. The cutting of production costs is the slegan in practically all ihranches of community endeavour jrnd the former as a producer of HMoodstuff is up against the same problem as the manufacturer or iorchant, In tests covering a per- i~d of seven years at the Ontario Agricultural College clean, well- graded seed oats produced an aver- o%e increase in yield of 15.4 bus, rer acre over small seed. | One way in which the farmer jean reduce his costs is to use thoroughly the fanning mill in pre- 'paring his seed or patronize one of the community seed cleaning plants, Information concerning screens may be had by app)ying to agricul- tural representative, W, M, Crosk- ery, Uxbridge, Ont.

(Continued from page 1) a view to making them more equit- able compared with the rates to Tor- onto, In soncluding the 'meeting this this morning, A. W. Bell stated that in hig experience, the Canadian Freight Association and railway men always attempted to arrive at a fair solution when appeals were made, sunported 'by facts which were truth- fully and fairly presented. He was convinced that Oshawa's case would be thoroughly studied and investigat- ed. The Association representatives all scemed impressed with the in- formation which was submitted to them and promised that they would take everything into consideration. Letter to Association Oshawa's case is ably outlined in the following communication which was recently Yorwarded by compar. traffic managers of this city to the Canadian Freight Association, "A Oshawa and Toronto age run on the same basis of rates from east to west, we see no reason why you should not reverse the ar- rangement and make the rates the same for Oshawa and Toronto from west to east. "We request you to place Osh- awa in the same zone in regard to rough traffic, as Whitby and Pickering. "We see no reason at all why Oshawa should not be allocated to the Toronto zone for all out- ward bound traffic, and we are making formal application to be transferred from the fourth into the third zone, because the official mileage is 32 miles and not 387.4 miles as stated. "We require that the differen- tial rate from Pittsburgh terri- tory to Oshawa be wiped out. "The rate on moulding sand from Ushers, New York, to Osh- awa and Toronto {s the same as is also the rate on fireclay from Clayville, N.J., to Oshawa and To- ronto. The same rate applies to both Oshawa and Toronto on fire- sand from South Riyer, N.J, and fireclay from Strassburg, Ohio, "The difference in' rates on moulding sand from Port Maitland, Ont., to Oshawa and Toronto is 56¢ against Oshawa and from Stamford, Ont. 30e, "There is a differential rate of 50¢c on coke from Hamilton to Oshawa and Hamilton to Toronto and 60c from Buffalo to Oshawa and Buffalo to Toronto. "The difference in rates on plate glass from Creighton, Pa, to Toronto and Creighton to Osh- awa is 4%c against Oshawa, whereas plate glass coming from Montreal and. St, John's Is rated both the same for Oshawa and To- ronto. Why the difference? "The rate on anthracite coal from Black Roek to Toronto is $1.15 per ton wlish fs equal to $1.15 per ton mile. The rate on anthracite to Oshawa ig $1.65 per ton. If the rallroadg can haul the first one hundred miles at the rate of $1.15 per ton, there is no reason why they should not bring it the extra 32 miles at the same rate per ton. This should give Osh directors for these two plays were Louis Austin and Russell Wigging- ton. Both audience and the two casts enjoyed a social time at the con- clusion of the plays when refresh: ments were served and music sup- plied for dancing. Miss Helen Johnston of Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, was plan- ist for the evening and supplied very delightful music. Mr. R. 8S. Morphy, treasurer of the club, in the absence of the president and vice president. conducted a short yusiness meeting before the plays. Later in the evening the sugges- tion was made that a contest he held within the club, for a sequel or'an ending to be written for the first play, 'Shall We Join the La- | dles?", and the suggestion includ- od the clause that the best one sub- mitted be played for a Little Thea- ire audience.

"I am much impressed," ne said, "with your proposal to establish a bungalow community in Cai- fornia, in which aged members may live with 'their wives. This would be a very humane work." Fine Program On accound of the length and quality of the program Mayor Marks made his remarks brief and then called upon the first artist, M. Gouldburn who presented a splendid piano selection. Comic songs by Reg. Terrett were much enjoyed. while Miss White followed with a splendid reading. A instrumental trio, in- cluding an accordion and two ban- jos, played by Messrs. Askew, Mac- Donald and Gibbie provided one of the treats of the evening. Present at last night's banquet was supposed to have been George A. Mitchell, A.S.C.R.,, of Toronto, as a speaker, but A. E, Eagleson explained that he had been unahle to come on account of the condi- tion of roads. A laugh provoking and clever little sketch was presonted by Mr. and Mrs, Stacey Vad a duet by the Misses McNah found apprecin'lon with the audience. \liss McNab contributed a splendid sclo while Alf. Henning rendered ono of his delightful comic songs. The pro- gram was concluded with the Na. tional Anthem. awa a rate on anthracite coal from Black Rock of $1.50 pre ton, The rate on bituminous coal from Black Rock to Toronto is $1.00 per ton, which ig on the basis of 1¢ per ton mile. If the rallroads can make that first one hundred mile haul for 1¢ per ton mile, there is no reason why Oshawa should not get the next 32 miles at the same rate, We are, there- for, entitled to a rate on bitumin- ous coal from Black Rock of $1.3¢ per ton. Thig puts Oshawa at a dis- tinet disadvanage." Those present at the hearing this morning included G. C. Ran- som, of Toronto, chairman of the C.F.A, R. E.

The play was produced under the able direction of Mrs. A, W. Bell and the acting and' general direction left nothing wanting. The whole cast performed with an ease unusual in amateur productions and this ease showed very careful grain- ing under Mrs, Bell, The wonderfully natural acting of Yvonne Finlay, who took the part of Pollyanna when quite young, was the feature of the evening. She had been greatly talked of in advance no- tices and she fully lived up to expec- tations of her, She was on the stage during most of the play and never once did she falter or 8 now any signs of stage fright which is often notice- able in juvenile actors and actresses. Despite the fact. that practically ev- erybody has read the story of polly- anna and her mission and that near- ly , everybody in Bowmanville saw the play put on by experienced act- ors at the Chautuaqua last season, they still came back to see it again and far from being in the least bored by seeing a repeated play they were thoroughly delighted with it. Every actor took his or her part to perfec- tion and it would be folly to select any one for special mention except Miss Finlay who, owing to her tender age was exceptional, The General Motors "Quartette, which assisted in the presentation by providing numbers between scenes made their "first, and it is hoped not | their last appearance in Bowmanville. To say they were well received would be putting it too mildly for they were thunderously applauded every time they sang, 'I'he members of the quar- tette were, first tenor, J. R, Bannan- tyne; second tenor, C, A. Toaze; first bass, C. W. Lambert and second bass A. W. Bell The actors in the play, which was presented here under the auspices of group No. 2 of Trinity United Church W.

Pottery, of Kingston, was sentenced to a 14 days' term in jail when he appeared in Bowmanville police court. On a second charge of criminal neg- ligence Pottery was committed for trial before a superior court, The charges were laid as a result of an accident on the Kingston Highway west of Bowmanville last week when Potter drove his car off the road and smashed it against a telephone 'pole. In the accident his wife and daughter were injured and removed to the Bowmanville Hospital. He was arrested by Provincial Constable Smith, °° NEED FOR JOY IS TOLD AT MEETING The Women's Association of Trin- ity United Church met in the Sun- day School room on Tuesday with Mrs. J. E. Elliott, the president, pre- siding, Mrs. Go L. Wagar gave an excellent talk on the glad side of life and quoted several verses from the scriptures to emphasize the need- ness for gladness, joy and rejoicing. A short poem "Laugh" illustrated her remarks very nicely.
