WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 24, 1982 THK FUUSmMnON ADVAM4 Depth OTPIowing The question of the best depth to plow for grain and subsequent crops has been aske<l by many interested in the (luestion of improved methods in agriculture. An experiment was i^tarted in lt'32 at the Dominion Ex- l>€rimental KarnV, Nappan, Nova Seotia. to secure data that might answer this question in so far as a medium to heavy clay loam soil is concerned. A five-year rotation •f swedes, oats seeded, clover, timothy, oats is fol- lowed. The timothy so<l is plowe<l at 5, 7 and i» inch depths in the fall on three of the plots, while other plots are nlouifhed 5 and 7 inches deep in the spring. The nine-year average yield of oaUs following the fall plowed plots is 47.6 bushels, 45.0 bushels and 47.2 bushels per acre re- spectively for the depths given above. The plots plowed 5 and 7 inches in the spring have averaged 40.6 and 40.7 bu.shels per acre respectively. The yield of swedes the following year after the land was plowed at these depths varies from 17.17 tons per acre for the 7-inch spring plow- ed plot to 18.96 tons for the 5-im-h fall plowed plot, not a signitant dif- ference. These results reveal the following points of interest: (I) The deep plowing of sod land did not bring about an increased yield of grain; (2) There was no appreciable in- crease in the yield of swedes grown on land that had been plowed deep the previous year; (3) The results indicate that fall plowing will give appreciably higher yields than spring plowing on medium to heavy soils. OMUAIO FAKM (HUiAM/.ATlONS SHOW i.ak(;k anm ai, Tl KNOVER Figures reveal that during the past year 42 Ontario farmers' co-opera- lives embracing 28,000 members did an average yearly business iier mem- Ikt of $587. This does not by any means represent all of the co-opera- tive effort in the province. It does tend to show, however, that farmers are uniting in their efforts to keep in business. The sixteen million and a half dollars worth of business con- ducted by those included in the above figure represents sales of live stock, wool, dairy protlucJjs, ^poultry i>ro ducts, fruit and vegetables, seed and grain and miscellaneous products and the purchase for resale to members of .-iueh articles as machinery, feed, fertilizers, twine and many other things. FLESH KUTON W. M. S. NEW TO.MATO PACKAGE A report to the Ontario Market- ing Board states that a new pack- age for hothouse tomatoes has been devised and is making a hit with the trade across the border, bringing a premium of about 15c per basket ovei other packages. The new package is a corrugated paper carton with a wood handle, giving it the appearance of a peck basket. Each tomato is labelled and cellophane wrapped. The cellophane of course is transparent and the buyer can easily see the to- matoes without removing the wrapper an<l spoiling the appearance of the jiackage. The cellophane wrapiwr also has other advantages as it keeps out moisture. The W.M.S. met in St. John's Unit- ed church on Thursday with Mrs. (oscph Blakely in the chair. Hymn "How firm a foundation" was sung with Mrs. W. Inksler at the i)iano. and .Miss Macmillan read the prayer. Mrs. Blakeley read from St. John's Gospel 1st chapter 1 to 13 and Mrs. W. Turney read a letter from Dr. Margaret McKcIlar as appeared in July missionary monthly. Miss V. A. Nicholson read an extract from the "White Ribbon Tidings" on the temperance question. Miss Macmillan showed what a really worth while magazine the Missionary Monthly is, and only .'!5c per year. "I love to tell the .Story" was sung and Mrs. S. Irwiri led in prayer. Mrs. W. I. Henry, vicc-presi, in the absence of Mrs. W. J. Scott took the chair, the minutes were read and signed and 'aiTangemenfis were made :^or the church service on August 28 and also for a Pageant to be held in Septem- ber if possible; 13 members respond- ed to the roll call and the meeting closed with prayer. Feversham Church To Hold 70th Anniversary This year of grace I'Xi'i is memor- able for the Presbyterian congrega- tion of Fever.sham, in that it marks the completion of the proverbial "three score and ten" for their church edifice. Ssventy years has it stood like Zion, upon its little Mount "beautiful for situation," and over throughout all those years have its worshipping people been able to say to one another in the words of Scrip- lure "Come and let u.s go up to the house of the Lord." Seventy years' of use and service for the Worship of the Living God, its walls resound- ing with His praise, and from its pulpit its people led in reverent de- votion, inspired by helpful messages of Scriptural truth. Surely it is eminently fitting that .'â- â- â€¢uch a record should bo commemorated. And this is to take place on Sunday, Sept. 11, when Anniversary .services are to be held at 1 1 a. m. and 7.30 p. m., con- ducted by Rev. Ross K. Cameron, M. A., Minister of the Streetsville Pres- byterian church. Special music is being prepared by the local choir for the occas((on. Then on Tuesday evening, .Sept. 13th, the ladies of the congregation are serving a supper in the church shed and this is to be followed by a varied program of a .suitable character. INTLUESILNG ITE.M TRADE IN FARM PRODUCE A statement just issued by th? Dominion Bureau of Statistics esti- mates the total of Canada's trade in farm products for the fiscal ycai> 1031-32 at .?308,4R0,201; of this a- mnunt $224,728,209 i-epresents farm products exported while $83,751,932 represents farm products iinported. The biggest iceberg that sails down by (ireenlund into the path of ocean liners is a baby alongside of the giants of the Antartic. Bergs a thousard feet high are not uncom- mon. The largest on record, sighted by the bark Emil Julius, in 1884, toweied seventeen hundred feet above the sea, and as eight-ninths of an iceberg li€s under water, one can see how many thousands of feel that makes in all. These Antarti? giants are sometimes fifty miles broad, and a vast island of ice seen by a number of ships in 1885 had a bay forty mile;: wide on one side of it. One vessel, thinking this a passageway between two bergs sailed into it, and was lost with all hands. About one-ninth of the total bulk of an iceberg projects above the water. If the part of an iceberg above the water contains 300.- 000 cubic feet, the total volume of the berg is 2,700,000 cubic feet. Have You Any of These Things To Sell? THE IGNORANCE OF THE MOB The other day butterflies in Cali- fornia started on an excursion, leav- ing the thistle area of the Sierr-j Nevada slopes to seek for new feed- ing grounds. Tourists on the high- way found their windshields cover- ed with butterflies and traffic was stopped. The cloud of them was 30 miles long and very wide. These butterflies are called the "painted lady" owing to three blue beauty spots, and most folks knew them by that name. A .scienti.'^t who was on the ground announced it was a "peregrination of the Vanessa cardui of the family of Nymphatidac." The ignorance of the mob appals us. Just tliink, all the time common folk had Icon calling them butterflies! f^cientists have been successful in introducing insects which devour the young of other insect pests in a great many instances.

Box Lacrosse To-night Shelbui-ne juniors are to play a box lacrosse game in the Flesherton rink on Wednesday evening against the local juniors and an interesting game is expected. It will be the first contact staged by the juniors since they commenced practising three weeks ago, but they have made so much progress that they should give a good account of themselves. The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. and it is hoped that a large crowd will be on hand to view the game, which is hard to beat for action. VANDELEUR TUB STOIta WITH lEEVICS ' F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.

While unloading his 22 repeating rifle, George Scott, of Harriaton, ac- cidentally shot his wife in the right leg. .\ccording to a warning being is- sued by Western Ontario County road officials, , owners of tractors with wheel cleats must keep off county as- phalt pavements unless the cleats aie removed or covered with liands. Ex- tensive damage has been occasioned in several parts of the county by these engines of late, it is learned. The unemployment siti\ation ha#; proved a boon to unprincipled pro- moters selling mushroom spawn, says the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of .\grieu1ture, in a warn- ing just issued. Promoters describe mushroom growing as a new and un- exploited business requiring only a small cajiital investtnent and cotn- paintively little experience, with al- most certain prospects for larger pro- fits because of the alleged scarcity nnd high prices of mushrooms. These claims are for the most part mis- leading, says the Bureau, advising anyone who proposes to grow mush- rooms to thoroughly investigate mar- ket conditions and the risks of tho business. 1932 IN THE STUD TROTTING STALLION William W.
