.WEnNESDAY. JULY 26, 1933 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE BEEF CATTLE PASTURE TESTS One o/ the largest single pasture improvement experiments ever under- taken in Canada ix now under way in Western Ontario, under the Buper- vision of the Department of Chem- istry O.A.C. and with the co-opera- tion of Canadian Industries Limited. On the 1300 acre farm of Neil Mc- Lai«;hlin at Ailsa Craig, one of the leadinir beef cattle grazers in that section, a field of 100 acre>8 has been divided in two, one-half of which re- ceived an initial application of 376 lbs. per acre of a 4-12-6 mixture the last week in April. It is also plann- ed to make an application of Nitre Chalk late in June. The other hall of the field has been fenced off and will be left as a check. The College officials have installed a weigh scale at the experiment and the cattle in each plot will be weighed each month. It is planned to carry the work on for five years at least so that accurate average results can b« recorded. As nearly as possible sim- ilar tyiMj and quality cattle will bt used on both plots and they will be followed from the pastures to ihe abattoir and records kept of the kill- ing percentage and grading on the rail. Signs of business revival multiply. The latest i.s a threatened strike of railwaymcn.

FLESHERTON Removed Stones On The County Road Considerable blasting was done Monday noon on the county highway, north of Eugenia, in clearing the road of the huge stones in order to widen it to the proper width. Twenty- eight shots were made and the ex- plosions of dynamite were heard dis- tinctly in Flesherton. Mr. W. A. Gordon, forman on that section of the County Road, had charge of the blast- ing. There were 23 holes bored in the i-ock and the total depth of the holes amounted to 42 feet, 2 inches. The hydro wircj are situated at the side of this road, but were untouched from the force of the explosions. Hydro employees were on hand to repair any damages to the line. Wiijening and straightening the curve on the Ckillingwood gravel road at Mr. Harry Genoe's farm is being done by Mr. Everett Henry, foreman. It was a dangerous curve and several accidcns had taken place at that point. Drank Paris Green CREEMORE ALFALFA MILL SECURES LARGE ORDER Mr. T. R. Montgomery has recently booked a large order for alfafa meal for export to England. The mill, which has been more or less idle for some time, is running day and night with the hope of filling as large a part of the bijc order as possible. It appears there is a very large market in England for alfalfa meal. Now that economic condition? have readjusted the currency a favorable price c-an be secured and the wheels of industry are again in motion. The price offered for the farmer for well cu!-cd pure alfalfa hay is five to six dollars a ton. There appears to be an abundant crop and already several faiTners have commenced teaming. For some time it look.s like big busi- ness. Not only will this provide a cash market fBr the farmers' hay but it will provide employment for a num- ber of men at the mill. â€" Creemort Star.

Paris green figured in the near poisoning of three Rock Mills resi- dents one evening last week. Mr. Lewis Pedlar and son, Jim, and Mis* Lulu Russell each took a drink of water from a pail in the kitchen into which had fallen a carton of parts green from a shelf over the pail. The room was dark ft the time and neither Mr. Pedlar nor Miss Ruseelt noticed anything wrong, but Jim not iced a taste in the water and in vestigated and found considerable otj the poison on the top of the watei I and mixed through it. They immed- iately came to town to the doctor, who administered an antidote, but that night they became violently sick. However, the next day they were able to continue their work, although feeling the effects of their exper- ience. Mr. Pedlar was not in the habit of leaving the paris green in the house, but it had only been pur- chased that day and was left in the kitchen to be handy for use the next morning. COP SHOOTS THIEF THEN BURIES HIM County Constable Wilford was sum- moned on the run. There was a thief creating a disturbance in George .Rbhardson's chijcken house at Cross Hill. Slowly the officer pried open the door far enough to push in the barrel of his favorite revolver. There .was a resounding crash. Poultry screeched an.d a minute later â€" as rap- idly as possible â€" the officer an<! Richardson tossed the intruder â€" little George Skunk â€" into a hurriedly-duf? grave and covered him up without any further rites. â€" Erin Advocate. Crops Hit By Drought Lack of sufficient rain during the months of June and July has seriously injureji crop prospects over the great- er part of Ontario, according to re- ports received from agricultural rep- resentatives. Neverfllelesa we hear from Bruce County that a wonderful crop of wheat has been cut and that hay was one of the largest crops ia years and in almost perfect condition, but spring sown grains as in other f/ounties have suffered materially from lack of moisture. Peel County also had a bumper crop of high qual- ity hay, but early potatoes and rasp- jberries were light crops due o lack of rain while alfalfa seed crop was practically a failure due to non-sett- ing. In North Simcoe livestock of all kinds on many farms is showing the effect of a short pasture supply. In Brant CouJity raspberries were a short crop, cherries fairly good an* currants and gooseberries fair. Root crops there as in other districts are not making very good growth. Es- sex has about 60,000 acres of wheat and the yield will be from 15 to 30 bushels per aci^ with odd field going as high as 40. Pastures are drying up there and pretty well gone except alfalfa, 15,000 acres of the latter sav- ing the day for many a dairyman. Essex also grows 500 acres of early melons and this crop is coming along fine. The corn crop is very uneven, while potato yields are very disap- pointingly small. Lambton and other counties in Western and Southern Ontario also report that crops will fall below the average of the past few years. Thf store of S. T. Stephens & Co., at Glencairn, was broken into and about S200 worth of merchandise otolen a week ago Monday night. 'Glenna Collett has forsaken golt for motherhood. Still, her ability to wield a club may come handy later on. Do you think 12 hours of enjoy- ment for 25c and 10c is a bargain? Then come to the 7th annual Picnic of the United Farmers on August 3nl in Lawrence's Grove, just west ot Durham on Highway No. 4. A full line of sports will be presented in- cluding a League baseball game be- tween Vandeleur and Flesherton; Softball, Football, Horseshoe Tourn- ' ament and Races, carrying such val- uable prizes as a bag of flour, over- alls, groceries, bacon and lir.sn â€" prizes being donated by merchants â€" Oh, yes, with cigars for the fat men. If you are blue just hear Tom Hamil- ton, the noted comedian. He would make a Scotch farmer with a mort- gage laugh! Robbery At Markdale Markdale Ci-eamery was visited by thieves on Tuesday night or early Wednesday and they got away with a considera'ble sum of money. This is the second time within two months that these premises have been enter- ed. This time entrance was gained through a window in the rear of the building and the methpds adopted for getting into the safe were similar to those used on the former occasion. The combi.i.ation on the safe was broken a3 before, but apparently the thieves were ur.able to open the door and then the bottom was broken, pnly a portion of the tiior.ey in the safe was taken, the balance apparent- ly bsing overlooked. Provincial Pol- ice were on the job early Wednesday ;norning and it is hoped that with clues picked up they will be able to apprehend the guilty parties â€" Mark- dale Standard.
