STRONG Telephone 43 COLBORNE Clean Up and Burn Weed Infested Areas Much, good can be accomplished at this time by cleaning up any weeds which did not receive attention during the growing season. Seeds are retained by many weeds until freeze up when they are distributed by various agencies, including wind, water, birds, and man, thus infesting new areas. The wind carries some weed seeds long distances, not only with drifting soil, but also over frozen ground and snow in the winter. An experiment conducted in Saskatchewan proved this fact when it was found that six ounces of surface soil taken from a spot along a road contained the following seeds: Stick Weed 330, Wild Mustard 99, Stinkweed 3, Black Bindweed 159, Lamb's Quarters 15, and Pig Weed 9. Another experiment conducted some years ago showed the presence of many weed seeds in snow--thirty-two seeds of nine species having been found in two square feet of a snow drift. Many weed seeds are eaten by birds during late fall and early winter, when other food is not plentiful. According to Jack Miner, an authority on bird ] life, these seeds will not lose their vitality and may be carried for miles in this way. Seeds of neglected weeds growing in vacant lots, around buildings, fence lines and ditches will ' e carried long distances by floods. By cleaning up and burning all neglected weeds at this time we improve the appearance of property and will help to control weeds--not only on our own property but also on that of our neighbours. The combined producton cf all kinds of concentrated milk in Canada during August 1935 was 10,538.753 pounds as against 9.622,441 pounds in 1934. The statistics are based on returns, from the 31 companies which manufacture any of the various items of concentrated milk, that is, condensed niilk (sweetened, skim, buttermilk), evaporated milk, milk powders, casine, and sugar of milk. The total number of pedigree certificates registered by the National Live Stock Records, approved by the Domnion Minister of Agriculture, for the month of September, 1935, was 5 492. Of that number 139 were horses; 2,369 cattle; 1,561 sheep; 646 swine, of which 547 were Yorkshire; 21 foxes; 75<1 dogs, and six goats (five Toggenburg and one Nubian). The first official estimate of Canadian wheat production in 1935 anticipates a crop of 290,541,000 bushels, comprising 16,000,000 of Durum wheat. 216,274,000 bushels of other spring wheat, and 13.267,000 bushels of soft winter wheat. Included in the 261,-274,000 bushels of common spring wheat, are 60,000.000 bushels of wheat adjudged to be unfit for milling. Counties Council Holds Special Session Durham Members Not Satisfied To say the least, the Northumberland members in Counties Council, possess a remarkable amount of gall. At the special session of the United Counties Council on. September 12th, by its superior voting power Northumberland forced an appeal against the judgment of Mr. Justice Hope in the matter of the Counties bridge dispute. Prior to taking this action Northumberland members admitted the unjustness of their cause when they offered to compromise. Unfortunately the compromise offer was about as lopsided as could be expected from a county which has used its voting power to the vantage of its partner for several years. Having admitted their wrong, the least one could have expected was that they make amends to the extent of the loss which Durham municipalities have been fleeced. Owing to the refusal of the Northumberland members to recognize the legality of the 1905 Act respecting bridges the County of Durham has been called upon to pay In taxes between $20,000 and $25,000 more than it was legally required to do. The warm expansive hearts of Northumberland members made an offer at this special meeting of $4,000 in settlement of the dispute. When Durham rightfully refused to accept such insulting terms Reeve MoColl of Campbellford condemns Durham for failing to be fair and Deputy-Reeve Johnston of Murray Township levels the same accusation at the County. Fortunately for Durham, it is represented in the Counties Council by men of the calibre of Reeve R. O. Jones of Bowmanville and Reeve Geo. S. Hooton of Cavan, who have marshalled the Durham forces in opposing settlement on the absurd terms as suggested by Northumberland. Reeve McColl suggested that it might be the best thing for Northumberland if separation was made, but there is no element of doubt on the Durham side. Durham would be infinitely better off with a separation from the county which has sought to drain the resources of Durham by means of an unfair voting advantage. Durham members were right in refusing to accept the compromise as suggested by Northumberland. Four thousand dollars will in no way compensate Durham for the loss of $20,-000, and the added requirement of the cancellation of the 1905 Act, is a further evidence of the unadulterated nerve possessed by the Northumberland money-grabbers. It seems quite apparent that Dur- "Vox Nostrae Scholae" In September Canada's import and export trade showed a gain of 22 per cent, over the corresponding period last year. Canada's sales to United States show a sharp increase. Such is the encouraging trend of business, as Canada slowly proceeds to drag itself from the sloth of a world-wide depression. The wheels of industry are beginning to accelerate with the pleasing hum of pre depression years, and as a result more and moire positions in business are being opened to crowds of aspirants, some of whom are educated, others often to their infinite sorrow are not. There is no question as to whom of these aspirants--educated and uneducated--who have a mutual goal in seeking a means of self-support and independence in an often exasperat-ingly unsympathetic world--will fall the choiceest and most lucrative morsels that the employers have to offer in the way of positions. The High School and College graduates are inevitably given first choice in the matter of jobs that are more remunerative and that present liberal opportunities for advancement. Those unfortunates who often have no one else but themselves" to blame for having discontinued school before matriculating, are forced to be content with crumbs from the table of the employer. A country Principal of a Secondary School reports a distinct falling off in school attendance, and in our own immediate district alone there are some two score young people who can offer no logical reason why they should not be gaining an education at this moment. Not only because of the aspect of education dealt with in the preceding paragraph should .these --shall we call them delinquints?-- be profitably busying themselves" in the acquisition of learning, but for other obvious reasons which are best expressed in this quotation from Francis Bacon: "^Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in private-ness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is In the judgment and disposition of business; for expert men can, execute and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one, but the general counsels', and the plots and marshalling of affairs, comes best from those that are learned." Note the last few words in particular. That is the gist of what wa have struggled to bring out in the opening paragraphs.

They are feeding upon the grasses and second growth which are now growing in profusion. A spoonful of honey dissolved in a glass of warm milk is used as a creator of energy by Finnish athletes before undertaking strenuous exertion. During long distance Marathon races they take a very small portion of honey, a little on the tongue only as a reviver. 'This Week," the Communist Party has entirely reversed its former policy of suppressing the reading of Russian classics and of forbidding the teaching of Russian history. Soviet critics and educators now preach, "Study Pushkin, Turgueniev, Tolstoy, etc. is a shame not to know literature." Also some five months ago. the teaching of Russian history was.solemnly reinstated. It is indeed a significant fact when Soviet officialdom reinstates the teaching of something which it had condemned as "bourgeoisistic ideology." Apparent-lay it took them some time to realize the futility of trying to suppress that which imparts culture to a nation. The whole history of mankind has been a long succesion of struggles foir enlightenment and learning. The cultural instinct lies latent within the people, but it often takes an education to bring it to the surface. The Chesley Enterpri Alexander the Great, the greatest Bruce County farmer who had his conquerer of all time, finding time for debts reduced under the Farmers' study despite his all-important duties j Creditors Act and then went out as a commander, the reinstatement of bought a piano. Oh, well, it prob-of the study of classics and history in ably cost him less thi Soviet schools. Consider these facts thoroughly. Surely then the importance of an education from a cultured idlpoint alone, outside of the fact it facilitates job obtaining, is incredibly vast. Again, the cost of a secondary school education can scarcely be said to offer any impediment on the road to learning. The cost, outside of transportation, computed on the present value of farm products would be tantamount to the sale price of 15" igs of potatoes. The benefits accrued from this education, whether in the pursuit of culture or a position in business, or both, are inestimable. Infinite and tantal- 3 its fight for sen-United Counties. Shipments of live stack from Western Canada during the first 38 weeks of 1935, ended 19th September, compared with 1934, showed an mcreao of 13.023 cattle; 1,436 calves; 16,990 sheep, and a decrease of 41,395 hogs. The 1935 shipments were 83,296 cattle; 2,777 calves; 112,663 hogs, and 62.212 sheep. Condition-figures for the late sown crops in Canada in 1935, including peas, beans, buckwheat, corn, potatoes, alfalfa, and sugar beets, states the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, indicate that yields will be slightly below average but above the. level of 1934.

Durham is already favourable, and if it is unanimous there should be little dififculty in securing freedom from the disagreeable partnership which is becoming more and more overbearing.-- Bowmanville Statesman. Six hundred cases of eggs from Winnipeg and 500 cases from Moose Jaw were dispatched to the British ilsilesdutring the week ended September 21st. One hundred and eleven boxes of dressed poultry were shipped to Bermuda and Jamaica during the same week.

Jn the second soft ball game of a two-game series with Castleton Continuation School, played on C.H.S. grounds, the local lads schowed a complete reversal of form and threw quite a scare into C.C.I, before succumbing to a 12-10 score. Emulating th first game, Castleton poured home less than six counters in their first innings, before their scoring splurge checked. Undaunted by this initial set-back, C.H.S. set out t( garner a, few tallies themselves ant succeeded in tieing the score at 1( all at the end of the seventh. In the eqnent two innings, Castleton pushed over two tallies, while C.H.S. d to counter. Castleton thereby eking out a 12-10 victory. Reed and Cowie looked good in the field for the losers, while Burleigh pitched effectively throughout. Purdy relieved Ducie on the mound for the winners he sixth.
