In-1886 the miii was purchase< by the late J. C. Vanstone of Ty. rone from the Range Estate. Mrs Range was a member of the Bow. man family aftcr whom Bowman. ville was named. At this timE there were some mechanical im. provements instailed. Rolîs tool the place of stones for grinding flour. In 1902 Mr. F. C.

Apparently milîs ail over the country are co-operating in this carnpaign to feed the United King- dom. It wiil be September be- fore the western wheat will be ready for export; consequently local shipments are somewhat re- duced for the present. With these facts before us the practicai and materiaiistic worid has destroyed any romantic ideas that this young writer might have had concerning the "Old Mill." However, despite the shattering of our illusions we can not help but admire the important work and effort that is being put forth in these milis to stave off starva- tion in the Mother Country.

Assistant Agricultural Re- presentative ard secretary of the local Plowman's Association, D. H. Miles, bas announced. "Up urtil a few days ago plans were being made to centre this great plowing match south-west of Lindsay-with the tented city on "Kaymur Farms" on the land of W. J. Murphy. However, wben the Lands Commîttee visited the farmers of that locality to defin- itely determine the fields to be piowed it was found that only about haîf enough lard couid be secured to successfuhly i-un off this great event," said Mr. Miles. Feeling that they should have about 450 acres of land lined up, the Lands committee, said Mr. Miles, found a suitabie area four miles west. of Lindsay, just north of No. 7 bighway on the County road to Cambray.' "The farmers in that area were very co-operative, with Jack Chambers giving the use of bis sod field for the tented city," be1 idded.
