Ju.st recently it paid over another $50 for injury to another horse, being half the damage done. '1 he other half was paid by the town- ship of lirant, the accident having hiippened on the townline. • If Brant had such a policy, it would Im> half paid for by the one accident, whereas now all it has is a receipted bill "for value received." Collingwood township lust year de- clined to take out such a policy, al- thougli that Township has paid out enough in damage claims in a tew years to carry such a, policy with the interest on the money already spent. Meaford has also considered the matter, but has not yet taken action. St. Vincent, on the other hand, is ready for all comers with a blanket policy; that covers injury on all the township roads, for which the town- ship might be held -responsible. â€" Meaford Mirror. NEWS THAT'S NOT NEWS There is quite a deal of difference between news and advertising, but a new.spapcr has a hard time often in making some reader.s realize the difference. If a person has some- thing to sell and wants the public to know about it, that is advertis- ing. It is purely a business trans- action with the one object of mak- inR- money. An ice cream supper notice is not news â€" it is advertising. Because the money goes for a wor- . thy cause does not make it any less an advertisement. ,,gjgjgjg|gjgjg(gjg,gjg,gjg,ggg,gjgigiaJ3Jgigia;a^ SIX HILL STORES We buy together in order that our customeri in the six com- munities may materially ben- efit individually.

Eight years of ! cxi)eriraentatlon, carried on by farm- '• UTS on their own farms In all partd of Ontario, and with all the oat varie- ties now eligible for registration place them In order of merit and yleid aa follows: Bushels Per Acre.

No. 144 Is only be- ginning to enter the Field Crop" Com- petition over Ontario. According to present Indications it will increase rapidly, and will before very long become the leadlog variety of oats In this province. It Is interesting to note the blgh record which the 0. A. C. No. 72 YW- iety has made in the Standing Field Crops Competitions throughout the Province. In eight years, out of tne 1,10$ first prizes awarded for flelda of oats of at least five acres, the 0. A. 0, 72 received 565, Ban'der 307, Abundanoe 21, Oold Rain 18, and Vlot6ry i. The other 201 prizes were dlTl(l«4 iamong varieties not eligible for registration. Alfalfa. What do the farmers say about varieties oi alfalfa 7 9o^)0ei'atlve experiments have been <!8]Hdu<}ted with varieties of al- fftlfa for tw6nty-slx years during ' which â-  ttine seed has been silit to each of 3,329 Ontario farmers for co- operative tests on their own farnls. A definite co-operative experiment has beeh couduked with the Ontario Varlagated and the Or(mm varieties on each of 1,790 farms within the past fifteen years. Ijjach experimenter was <.wked to so locate the plots that they might remain undisturbed for several years. Quite a number of these experimental plots which wi?re sown as far back as 1911 Etlll re- main unbroken and the results are both Interesting and valuable. On November 27th, 1925, a blank form was sent to each one of the 1,790 experimenters asking for information regar4ing their experiment. After receiving upwards of three hundred replies we were able to summarire the results. In .-.nswer to the in- quiry as to which of the vs^rletlea gave the better results in the lo"cal test it Is interesting to note that of the fourteen years from 1911 to 1024 Inclusive the majority of the experi- menter.s favored the Ontario Varia- gated In the years 1912, 191S, 1916, 1918, 1920, 1923 and 1924, and the majority favored the Grimm In eaclj of the other seven years. Of Uio 188 who answered this cuestion, 05 pre- ferred the Grimm and 93 the Ontario Varlgated. In response to the quts- tion as to the most extensively grown varieties of alfalfa In the various dis- tricts 199 farmers mentioned Ontario Varigated, 65 Grimm, 4 Common, and 1 Turkestan, while 3 others- simply mentioned Northern Grown. The farmers of this Province have an opportunity, as never before, of securing seed for sowing on their own farms. It would be well for the farmers to retain and sow as much as possible of the 90,000 bushels of seed which was produced In Ontario In 1925. Our alfalfa production has been trebled in the last ten years, and doubled in the last three years. It is estimated that there was over half a million acres of alfalfa grown in Ontario last year. It Is believed that the alfalfa area will soon reach i one million acres. Ontario will be ( richer for it. j Spring Mlieat. The O. A. C. No. 85 Spring wheat was distributed for co-operation ex- periments for the first time in 1924. The result for the two yeafs when compared with WUd Goose and Mar- quia puts the No. 85 at the head of th* list. t Bushels Per Acre, 1924 O. A. C.

Some Real Close Games With Proton Juniors The Proton juniors and a picked team from the local hockey players have been enffatjinsr in some exeitin» overtime battles for the past three weeks, with occasional let ups for rest. On Wednesday night last the Proton men squeezed out the winning: counter in the last thfrty seconds of a thirty minute overtime battle leav- ing the score standing as 3 â€" 2. The teams hooked up again on Friday night and played a sixty minute tic the firanie ending with the score 2 â€" 2. Both teams display good hockey and the locals used the series as a good chance to size up material for next years team. Nuhn .^itarred in both games and displayed enough to mjike him logical for faster company. MacDonald played some good hockey too, ns did Nicholson and Watson of the regulars. Ibbott played in the nets and made some clever saves. White and Lyons were the mainstay of the Protonites, although Wyville and Everett White. Bachelor hand- led himself well in the nets, and was called upon to make some clever saves. THE LINEUPâ€" Fleshertonâ€" Goal, Ibbott, Defence ] Akins, and Nicholson.
