In them she mentions that the ban- racks is comfortable and meals fine. She attended a Chunch Par- ade at which F0 Wishart Camp- bell sang. Gloria also has been in Hull on a trip. Following her training there Gloria expects to go to Trenton. In her last letten she says that Chistina McKinnon graduated Thursday, March 18. Christina's relatives live in Kirby. Gloria plans to send cards to the "Goodyear Gang" but we thought that both Onono and Bowmanville friends would be glad to hean that she likes her new job.

Miss M. McDowcll played for them. This was fol- lowed by pictures shown by C. R. Canveth of Newcastle and ex- plained by Dr. Devitt of Bowman- ville. These pictures showed scenes at Algonquin, park both coloured and otherwise. Besides the beautiful scenery there were animals and fish, both fried and otherwise, that would make Andy Clarkc's mouth water. There were also pictures of Dr. Devitt's home and family, and scenes of Fletch- er's rose garden. Reeve Carveth then showed and explained pictures of people, ani- mals, flowers, etc., taken at New- castle, one particularly good one being a cherry tnee. These pic- tures which. were much appre- ciated were followed by several piano selections by Mrs. E. Brown, a vocal solo by Mn. R. E. Logan with Mrs. R. H. Brown at the piano, an English folk dance by the four girls, a song by Denny and Harry Lynch with Mrs. Lynch at the piano, and pictures of Or- ono people shown by Reeve Car- veth with appropniate line of chatter. These included such present day celebrities as Orme *Gamsby, C. T. Miller, J. Richards, John Armstrong, Tom Cowan, Tom McNeil, Alb West, Harry Mencer, Mns. Cooper, Mns. Henry, Mns. Breslin (now of Bowman- ville), Marion Cooper, and as the auction sale bills say "others ton numenous to mention", and many who have now passed on-Dr. Colville, F. Peate, H. G. McDon- aId, E. Evans, W. Cowan, and many othens, all being stiil missed although some have loeen dead for some years. Lunch followed the pictures. Following lunch and social haîf. hour the audience was called to order while Ron West dnew the ticket for the quilt and the lucky number belonged to Donald Sher- win, wee son of Dr. and Mrs. W. W.

Vile Person Poisons John Gibson's Dog "Buster" a fine dog owned by Mr. John Gibson, Sr., was .Poi- soned by some . .. well, we don't know what to cail the human brute. This is not the first inci- dent of this kind in Orono, several dogs having been poisoned here in the last few years.11 The Onono correspondent is at a loss to know wflat to caîl the person who poisoned the Gibson dog. In last week's issue of The Dunnvillie Chronicle, "Old Bill" had a poem in his column, "An Outcast In Hell" whilch we thought very good and clipped, not know- ing at the time we would get the opportunity to use it. We are us- ing it this week as a warning to any would-be dog poisoners that MRS. A. S. CUSSON is now in perfect heath. She had stubbomn indigeston, constipation and biiiousnesa vith bad breath.

PARU FORUM NEWCASTLE FARM FORUM Newcastle Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Rickard with 25 present. Follow- ing the radio broadcast George Walton, convenor for the evening, divided those present into three gnoups for discussion. Question (1) We don't know any definite policy; because of lack of knowledge regarding soul testing etc. No one paid any attention to use of the land for various pur- poses. The land was cleared as quickly as possible for farming, without any definite plan for the future. (2) In our community there are certain evidneces of wind and water erosion, but, not major enough to cause serîous damage in the future. (3) a - There is a small amount of indi- vidual reforestation carried on in our community to supplement a provincial forestry station. 0f late years we have devised a plan of proper rotation of crops and the use of fertilizers both natural and artificial. b-A suggestion was made to have a county reforesta- tion project wherebY sections of our unsuitable land would be systematically neforested every year. A suggestion was made that we pay the Federation of Agriculture Fee, which was promptly follow- ed by every famlly that was rep- resented at the forum. Lunch was served and Alex Hendry.had charge of some con- tests. Next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George alton. SHAW'S FARM FORUM The Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Cox, March l5th, with 22 present and Mrs. J. E. Allin as convenor. Subject discussed, "Land Use and Conservation". The question was asked, "What policies were followed in the settlement of your district? Wat any attention paid to using land for purposes to which it is best suited?" One of the policies followed was that of granting large tracts of land to ORONO S.S. NO. 4, DARLINGTON The Farm Radio Forum of S.S. No. 4, Darlington met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Pickell with an attendance of 24. Two grougs discussed "Land Use and Conservation". The pio- neers of this area cleared the bet- ter land near the lake. A stretch of land a little fanther north was left as bush. It would have been better if more wooded arcas had not been clearcd. In this district there are sevenal farms affcctcd by erosion of soil caused by water. One reason is that the fanms near the lake naturally have pass through taem water from the north. Another cause of crosion is that owing to tac railways the natuiral course of the water is di- vertcd and instead of a little water flowing over the land in many places, much water passes through one channel thus causing (1) great gullies in certain fields, (2) wash- ing away of top soul, (3) depos- iting of a layer of gravel, etc. The quality of the soul is being conscrved and rcbuilt by (1) use of commercial fertilizers, (2) use of barnyard manure in incrcasing quantities due to increase in stock which has been partly brought about by bringing feed grains from other areas, (3) crop nota- tion, (4) plowing down of clovres, (5) rcforesting of small areas. Reforcstatio nof land unsuitable for cultivation should be unden- taken on a larger scale. Mr. A. Found told of the ac- complishments and aims of the Federation of Agriculture.' The meeting for March 22nd will be held at the home of Mn. and Mrs. Walter Rundle. MAPLE GROVE FORUM Maple Grove Farm Forum was held at the home of Noble Met- calfe. with nine present. Findings on the subjcct, "Land use and conservation" w e r c that our lands* have been clearcd and used with little or no thought of con- servation. Due to modern living wc have mincd cveny available bit of clearcd land for cash with which to carry on. We arc bcginning to realize the nced of more cane of oun cultivat- cd land by rcsting and building up the land through plowing down dloyens or faîl rye and by more reforestation of poor land.

Grants were also made to the clergy. Little was donc to see that the land settled was fit for farming. In the course of time the land was cleired. Lumbering was carried on in many places, treet were burned, and great slashes were made through the forests in order to dlean the land quickly without thought for the future and to cul- tivate the land for the growing of grain, pincipally barley to be shipped across Lake Ontario to the United States. This was all night in some places, bu tsteep hills, slopes, and sandy hbis would have been better left in forest. There arpas flot being highly pro- ductive for grain and such cnops. This seriously affectcd the land in many ways, with the result that reforestation is being undertaken on a fairl ylarge scale and wc are trying to conserve and rebuild the quality of the soil by more use of fertilizers, gnowing more grasses and clovers and plowing under green crops. Community singing and games were enjoyed. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Cox, Alne and Billy, and a profitable evening spent.

With each breath Make Arrangements For Seed Inspection Registered seed growers should plan to use the inspection service of the Plant Products Division, Dominion Department of Agri- culture, to beÉt advantage, and, in view of tae added war duties of the Division, here are some means by which seed growers can ex- pidite inspection, 1. Make application for field in- spection early. This means before July finst. If a crop for which in- spection has been nequested is laten withdrawn the inspector should be notified immediately. 2. When the inspector calîs to make his inspection, sec that he gets full instructions and infor- mation. If the owner of the crops is away, he should leave full in- structions for the inspecton with someone on the premises. 3. Begin prepanation of the seed early and avoid last minute rushes for inspection before seeding time. 4. Before making an applica- tion for seed inspection, make sure the seed is cleaned to grade and that tac necessany samples have been submitted for germination, etc. Second trips for inspectors should be out for the duration, whene such 'trips result because the seed has to be recleancd, or through neglect of the proper samples being submitted for test. 5. Arrange to have the inspector make as few trips as possible to pedite inspection. 6. Do not expect the inspector to sew the bags. This is not part of his duties. To facilitate his work, make provisitin for tac clos- ing of containers as speedily as possible.

Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who iust managed to scrape through? ln either case, you wiil want to bc prepared for next winter when greater hardsbips ioom unless you taire immediate action. The shortage already bas affected many communities ... total stocks of dry wood are nearly exbausted ... in some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency. Throughout most of Canada, fuei.wood is obtained not far from where it is consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizena. The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood-fuei shortage la so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com- munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it bas been decided to stimulate the output of wood-fuel by assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures wiil be adopted: iA subsidy of $ 1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on ail commercial fuel-wood contracted for and cut on or before lune 30, 1943, and held to dealers' account on that date. 2 The Goal Controller bas been authorized to arrange in his discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel-wood, particul. arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary to contract for fuel.wood at locations outside the area from whicb tbey normaily derive tbeir supplies. In order to obtain any sucb reimbursement, dealers musc obtain a permit from the Goal Controller before contracting for sucb supplies. 3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer's cost ail commercial grades of fuel-wood on wbich a subsidy of SI per cord bas been paid and wbicb are stili in dealers' hands as at May 31, 1944. d4 Assistance will bc given in providing priorities for necessary equipment. à Farmers now on the farm, and wbo leave tbe farm temporarily in response to tbis appeal to engage in fuel-wood cutting, wii be deemed by National Selective Service to be carrying out their regular occupation as farmers and wii.1 be given ail the rights of deferment of military service whicb sucb an occupa- tion now carnies. Sucb temporary absence sbould not, bowevcr, interfere witb agricuitural production. Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers, individual citizens, service clubs, and ail other groups in communities where wood-fuol is burned, are urged te begin at once a rapid survey of their local situation, and te take imme- diate action ýo relieve the shortage.
