It is estimated that last year's crop of 3,000 tons will be exceeded. A large portion of the crop is moving to the large dairy herds in the Eastern States. Considerable alfalfa is being ground into meal fOT export and domestic consumption. Up to eight alfalfa meal mills have been grinding in the Caledonia district at one time. Another new outlet may be provided as result of a new test shipment just made- to Nova Scotia for a Department of Agriculture experiment in feeding young deer for the first time. Although the plant is one of the oldest under cultivation, it is only in recent years that it has been grown here generally, and it seems to thrive on the heavy clay land. Haldimand and Peel are two of the banner producing counties in the province. 3W On Guaranteed Trust Certificate* A legal investment for Trust Funds Unconditionally Guaranteed THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION A.

Academy Hill, March 25th, 1938 ^Jtear Mr. and Mrs. Lonsberry and Family:: As you are about to depart from our midst, we feel it our pleasant duty to-night to show some slight mark of respect and to recognize in some tanglbble form our appreciation for your kindness which you have shown to us. Your life among ius has been a source of pleasure; and your most genial manner has gained for you the confidence and appreciation, of a large circle of friends. Your loss to the community is felt by all; but lessened by the knowledge that you are not going far beyond our reach. In testimony of our sincerity and goodwill we request your acceptance of these .remembrances, and ask you to value them not as something indispensable, but as a reminder of the many happy times that we have enjoyed together, and of the kindly feeling that the people of this district bear toward you. When Mr. Lonsberry had recovered from the shock of such unexpected manifestations of goodwill from his neighbours, he found himself, and in behalf of the family expressed appreciation in terms of sincere gratitude for the wholehearted consideration and kindness of the Academy Hill people.

Ruhnke told the Field Crop convention in Toronto that many soils in Ontario were showing signs of mineral deficiency and this was reflected in the crops and livestock. Fertility is lost in the ordinary course of farming. It cannot be replaced by the manure alone and there is a demand for fertilizers to bring 'back farms to full productive capacity. Before applying these commercial mixtures it is necessary to determine if drainage is required and to test for acidity. Where there is an acid condition lme is the remedy. In ohoosng a fertilizer a soil test is the best guide through the crop history is also to be taken into consideration. The total wool clip in Canada in 1937 of approximately 19,000,000 lbs. was slightly higher than that of 1936.

COSTLY EXTRAS For 62 years doctors have been coming daily to this Hospital to donate their time without charge. During the past year over three score of them donated 40,000 hours of work to the task of giving sick and injured children the very best chance for the recovery of health and happiness. Crippled? Deformed? Hurt in an accident? Suffering from Disease? Just "yes" to any of these questions has always opened the doors of this institution to children in need of hospital care. No distinction has ever been made in respect to race, dreed or circumstances. The Provincial and Municipal Governments each contribute a fixed amount per day for those who cannot pay. But these grants do not contemplate the cost of medicines, operating rooms, oxygen, X-rays, plaster casts, anaesthetics, special diets and extra nursing--and they do not provide for the cost of many, many other necessary items. Each year we depend on public subscriptions to •over these extra costs. Won't you help this very worthy cause? Please send your gift direct to 67 College Street, Toronto. We employ no canvassers.
