Toronto, Oct. 13th. 1928--On the u'vioe of counsel. W. T. R. Preston intf F. W. Wilson, proprietor of the f'ort Hope Guide, have dropped their ippeal against the verdict which sessed them for libelling Sir Arthur Durrie. Notice of the abandonment of the ^appeal was formerly served yesterday on W. N. Tilley, K.C., and F. H. Parmemter, K.C., counsel for General Currie. The action meant, Mr. Parmentei stated, that nothing further will be heard of the case. It will be stricken from the list at Osgoode Hall. This development writes "finis' a case which at the commencement although they seldom get any increased return toward payment of ths cost of improvement. What they do object to, however, is to have some inspector appointed who knows nothing of farm conditions or the operation of a dairy herd, but clothed with a little :empor-ary authority proceeds to lay down a set of rules for the farmer's guidance totally impossible of being carried, out at any reasonable cost and that are not required to effect all the improvement necessary to the production of a healthful, sanitary milk supply. The case is well put by two dairy farmers in the vicinity of Sher-ooke, Quebec, who wrote thir local daily ibly \ folloi "Proper farm ■ pom this Auto Is Self Steering TP he heading of this article is not intended to mislead. The high power sedan pictured above is all of that and more as the "steering wheel" acts only as a front wheel brake, and all four wheels are fixed. Perhaps the most remarkable fact in connection with this handsome automobile is that it was turned out, just as it appears, from the Canadian Pacific locomotive works at Angus. There you have it! The wheels are flanged, with rubber insulation between the steel tires. Supplementary light? comply with railway regulations. There are staffs for the regulation flags, a powerful hg,rn--and a bumper. Canadian Pacific engineers will use this car for inspection purposes. i pro The " the Mi COLBORNE Preston and published by the Port Hope Guide, to the effect that Sir. Arthur Currie "for his own glorification" had needlessly sacrificed Canadian lives in an attack on Mons just previous to the armistice. A potato bulletin, recently compiled by Prof. W. .1. Squirrell and Prof. A. 11. MacLennan of the' Ontario Agricultural College, clears up many of the old controversies of potato grow- Experiments conducted at the O. A. C. and cooperative tests on a very large number of Ontario farms, show that immature potatoes have a greater seed value than the matured tubers; that the size of the seed planted has a very marked influence on the yield produced and that the larger sets of two ounce weight produced a much higher yield both of the total number of bushels harvested and of the number fit for market. Many growers have claimed that potato sets should be planted with the cut surface downward but in experiments in which one lot was planted with the cut surface up and the other with it down, the results were practically identical and nothing could be gained bv pointing the sets in any special direction. Another interesting set of results was obtained in tests with sets having one, two, three, four, and five eyes respectively. The sets with fewer eyes produced a higher percentage of marketable potatoes but those with the five eyes gave a very substantial increase in yield. Another subject, of controversy with growers is whether or not potatoes should be cut several days before planting. Experiments recorded in the bulletin show that potatoes cut and planted the same day gave higher yields than those cut four or five days previous to planting. Other results show that the coating of sets with slacked lime and ground plaster increases the yield and that the ground plaster is superior to slacked lime. Such potatoes as these, which have been argued about for years by potato growers, make the bulletin interesting. Other topics treated are those of climate and soil, rotation, manure and fertilizers, preparation of soil and seed, varieties, planting distances, cultivation after planting, spraying and the treatment for disease. Under -the discussion of spraying a very pertinent principle is voiced: "It should be borne in mind that spraying only pays when it is thoroughly j Storing and marketing are discus- \ sed and, what will be a handy memo for all potato growers,, is a summary j of the regulations certification and the sale of commercial potatoes. Everything A/HEN A FIRE STARTS When a fire breaks out inhome o." place of business, the person who sees it instinctively tries to put it out. If he succeeds, nothing is heard of the matter. If he fails, he turns in an alarm to the department, and, very often, by the time the fire apparatus ha? arrived the fire has done considerable damage, or Las gone so far that the fire-men must devote their attention i; t to the burning building, but to saving those nearby. The time the amateur fireman has spent in attenpt-ing to conquer the blaze .with his inadequate means has meant just'the difference between success and defeat iu jiie attempt to save the building. The thing to do. when a fire starts.-if it is of any magnitude at all, is to call the men whose business it is t > fight fire, and to call them while there is still some hope that they can succeed in their work. Turn in the alarm when the fire starts. Then, if you think you can quench the flames out yourself, by all means do so. But don't get into a panic, fight the fire all alone and forget that there is a well-equipped department at your call foi giving just that service.

Now. why not let the Sherbrooke citizens have a report from the Department of Agriculture. Ottawa, Quebec, ot" the Experimental Farm at Lennoxville. We consider that we should be consulted by the health committee of the city council concerning the appointment of an inspector for stich important work so as to assure the appointment of a thoroughly qualified man and that we will be fairly treated. The city council is not doing its duty to the community unless they ask some of these recognized authorities for a rating. We want this done as often as these experienced agricultural men will be good enough to do so. We are willing to co-operate under all circumstances with a proper competent officail who should be appointed having the required qualifications in crder that the city may be assured of a continuance of a supply of pure milk to its citiz- East Bridgewater, Mass., shoe company has bought biplane for salesmen who will fly with samples from city to city.
