I. 30th ANNIVERSARY Wednesday, July 24th, will long be remembered by the members of the Castleton Women's Institute as an important date in the history of their Institute, the celebrating of thirty years of efficient and successful work. About 75 guests sat down to the banquet table which was beautifully decorated with papers and flowers. The colour scheme was purple and yellow, the Institute colours. Gay bows and streamers hung from the walls and ceiling. In the centre of the table was a birthday cake, iced in white and decorated with thirtg tiny yellow candles. This rested on a mat of purple. *. The honoured guest of the evening was Mrs. Jane Farley of Brighton? who organized this branch thirty years ago. The graciousness of this lady of ninety years added dignity tlj the meeting. A number of ladies whfi had held office in the Institute whilll it was still young were present. Among these were Mrs. Harper of Warkworth, Mrs. J. Battiislby of Campbellford, and Mrs. Chas. Nichols, wh was the second secretary. Mrs. Leslie Campbell acted a toast-master and proposed the teas to the King. The toast to the Past Presidents and Secretaries was given by Mrs. H. Welton, and Mrs. W. J. Harper replied. The toast to the Institute was given by Rev. M. L. Hinton. Mrs. D. Dingwall, replied. Mrs. Max Harnden sang a solo. The speaker of the evening was Mrs. E. C. McDonald of Cobourg. She gave a summary of the early history cf the Women's Institute in general, and the good that it has accomplished, and urged the members to use the power given them for the further improvement of home and country. Guests from out of town were: Mrs. Hendricks, Mrs. Dunk, Miss Snyder, and Mrs. Alexander and son of Brighton; Miss Mulholland of Grafton; Mr. and Mrs. jas. H. Black, and Mt. and Mrs. W. Harper of Warkworth: Mr. and Mrs. F. Harnden, of Grafton. The number of inspected shipments of poultry from Canada from January 1 to May 31, 1935, comprised 4,487 boxes of turkeys; 33,145 boxes of chickens; 323 boxes of fowl; 25 boxes of geese; 955 boxes of ducks, and box of pigeons--in all approximately 2.280,000 pounds. During the corresponding period of 1934 the total mount exported was 11,841 boxes. Making Fruit Jam In making fruit jam, it is best to select fresh, slightly underripe fruit. At least half the quantity should be slightly underripe. The whole small fruit, or broken berries, may be used to good advantage, as they give a fine colour and flavour. Cooking in small quantities is always advisable, as in this way the fruit is cooked more rapidly and retains its colour and flavour. Jam should be cooked in a porclaii lined vessel and stirred constantly with a wooden spoon or paddle to prevent scorching. Move the si slowly across the centre of the vessel, first one and then the opposite way, and next round the pan. Do not stir rapidly or beat the mixture. One pound of sugar to each pound of fruit may- be used, but very good results have been obtained from using three -fourths of a pound of sugar with each pound of fruit. Canadian Horses Take Well in Australia Down in Australia Canadian Perch-eron horses are making a name for themselves. Some high-grade Perch-erons were imported from Canada last year and received very favorable comment, according to the Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways. It would appear there is an opening for Canadian horses in Australia, particularly Per-cherons and 'Clydesdales. C. N. R. Earnings Show Further Increase The gross revenues of the all-inclusive Canadian National Railways System for the week ending July 21, 1935, were $3,373,644, as compared with $3188,785 for the corresponding period of 1934, an increase of $184,859.00.

An active-acidity test together with a knowledge of crop requirements as to soil type and acidity will determine to a large degree the suitability of soils for various crops. Such test will indicate quite definitely whether lime is required. Where lime is needed, the quantity required to reduce the acidify of a particular soil to a suitable point for a specific crop can be determined. This is one of the services rendered by the Diminion Experimental, at Harrow, upon Where a field is not producing the crop it should, the acidity of the soil may be a limiting factor. In such a case it is certainly advisable have the soil tested for acidity. Soil samples should be carefully taken with a clean spade at representative places in the field. A sample from very productive area is often helpful for comparison. One-half pint of soil sufficient for such a test, but this should be taken from a well mixed larger representative sample. A brief history of the field should accompany each soil sample, which can either be mailed or brought to the above address for determination.
