Dryden, Ont, May 2nd 1924 Number 48 | Standing Field Crop Competition | Owing to there being no potatoes on "the list this year, and no registered seed oats available, Dryden Agricul tural Society have decided to enter in the Standing Field 'Crop Competition only. INSU A hh ; RULES AND REGULATIONS. : ° 1. Societies can enter two crops to P 1IGNoC S | be selected by the Board of Directors, | each field entered to consist of not less AND | than three acres. 2 If a field contains more acreage than the above, the whole field must be scored. 3 Competition will be limited to paid-up members of the agricultural Society for the current year, and the fields entered should be not more than fifteen miles from its headquarmters. Competitors will be allowed to make entry in one Society only, for not more than two crops, and only one entry can ' be made in each kind of crop. A father . and son, or two or more persons re- 'siding on the same farm and working it in partnership cannot make separ- 'ate entries. Individual entries must be freeads fed to the Secretary on or before May Tooth, 1924, except for corn, which will i be received up to June 15th. Selection must be made from the following crops, viz.: white oats, clover alsike, clover, or other staple crops grown for seed in Ontario. In order to encourage selection of the best varieties of grain and pota- toes it has been decided that the Field Crop Competitors should select from the following varieties for this eonpe- tition: GATS -- Banner, Alaska, Abundance, Gold Rain. CORN--White Cap Yellow Dent, Golden Glow. POTATOES (late).--Green Moun- tain, Dooley. This does not prohibit the use of any other variety than those named, but, when the judge is scoring a field, if any other variety than the above- named is grown, two points will be de- ducted from the total score for grain. The Secretaries should urge competi- tors to select the same variety of grain, potatoes, etc., and have them sown as nearly as possible during the same i week. By so doing the crops will be "nearly in the same stage of ripeness, 'and the work of the judge facilitated. Competitors are expected to notify their Secretary, and the Secretary in turn notify me, not less than four days before the crops are ready for the judge. The Ontario Department of Agri- culture supplies judges free of charge. The Government grant to a Society for each crop will be $50, making a total of $100 if two crops are entered. This amount must be supplemented by the Society to the extent of $25 for each competition. In the event of one crop being entered, the total amount of prize money offered will be $75; for two crops the prize will be $150. In the event of prizes being offered at the exhibition of a Society which has entered the crop competitions, the prize-winners must exhibit at such local fair one sheaf of grain from the prize-winning field; said sheaf to be not less than eight inches in diameter after being firmly tied. Sheaves must 'be carefully prepared, stripped of leaves and neatly bound with three ties. Those direct from the binder S! will not be considered. The name and { variety must be attached to the sheaf and also quantity of grain for sale. The ' condition upon which prize-winners are i to exhibit is that the Society must give not less than $4, $3, and $2, as first second and third prize for such ex- ' hibits of sheaves. This will add materially to the grain department at the fair and prove good advertise- "ment for the prize-winners who have 'grain to sell. Competitors who fail to exhibit a sheaf without reasons satisfactory to the Directors may have i their money withheld. Notice of this ; change in the regulations must be 'given to the competitors at the time of making entry, and the Secretary is Remington Typewriters 8old by:-- Douglas Lane : (Post Office Building) We are showing A Splendid Line of Spring and Fall | Overcoats Regular $25.00 For $15.00 HATS CAPS, SHIRTS TIES.

Winter Fair also offer substantial cash "presentation of the above drama "My Wild Rose" The Dryden Tuxis Boys and C.G.L.T. treated the community to a very fine on Wednesday last The uniform excellence dislayed by the whole cast reflects supreme credit on the producersm, Mrs Dr Morison, Miss Lummis and Mr W. Kelso. The last rehearsals, in conjunction with the actual performance, gave an entirely professional touch to the whole, and illustrate the eternal thea- trical truth that an anxious dress re- rearsal results in a fine performance. The dialogue was well learned, and prompting was not much in evidence. The giving of parts in accordance with the individual aptitude of the several players displayed positive genius. The faults and petty jealousies often displayed in amateur theatricals were marked by their absence, and the stage atmosphere of wiling co-operation flowed over the footlights to infuse the large audience with a similar spirit of fine encouragement. The 'magquillage' was good, and cos- tumes corresponded. The acting was delightful, and at times rose actually to an undeniably professonal level, while the whole group of the players were uniformly eager and attentive to details. The audience was a superb one to work to. Musical numbers were given in the entr'actes by the talented violinist, Mr Kurtz, accompanied by Mr Angus. Raff's 'Cavatina' and 'Old Refrain' by Kreisler were played with an immacu- late interpretation and eloquent tone. Jim Gordon, town Monday. Mrs Wm.

The tickets for the drawing in aid of Dryden Red Cross Hospital are sell- ing like hot 'cakes, due partly to the general desire to benefit that institu- tion, as well as to the magnificence of the prize. It should be understood that the nore tickets are sold, the better will the car be. It should be at least a new Ford Touring, but a Sedan will be given if possible, so long as it does not limit too greatly the amount to be donated to the funds of the hospital. The plan is to hold a dance on the 30th of this month at which the draw- ing will take place. Duplicate numbers, open to inspection, will be placed in a revolving drum, and some one from the audience, blind-folded, will be asked to pick the winning number in full sight of the audience. The fact that the drawing will be conducted by a committee of the Women's Institute is, of course, full assurance of its fairness, since that honoured body would never permit its name to be associated with anything that was not strictly on the level. Better secure your ticket, and you will feel more secure while you are looking around for a place to build § me: the garage. Better get two or three tickets while you're at it, for you never know your luck till you try. Somebody is going to get that car; why not you! =r Wm. Richardson 'Becomes Hon. President. An organization meeting for the Junior Baseball was held in the Town Hall April 22nd, and Directors were chosen from the men present to help the boys. There is not much chance of Senior Baseball this year; but that is no reason why the boys should be left out. So one hundred Membership tickets at $2.00 are going to be sold by the boys during the week. It should be a good way to spend $2.00. Meanwhile, he Secretary, Norman Howe, is writing to all the outlying districts and towns and have representatives at a meeting in the Town Hall called for Wednes- day night, May 7th, at eight o'clock, The fathers and the boys should be at this meeting. However, everyone should take a two. dollar ticket, and have the best baseball year in Dryden's History, because we are helping make a lot of future good baseballers. It will be a hard-hearted man that will turn a boy down for two dollars when he is asked. : It was unanimously decided by vote to make Wm. Richardson the Hon. President of the Association. C. H. Cairns, a skilled mechanic, is now in charge at the Overland garage. Port Arthur News-Chronicle: Mayor Pitt of Dryden and T. H. Yelland of Murillo were speakers at the regulai meeting of the Fort William board of Trade Monday night, in addition to Sid Wilson, colonization agent, who discussed land settlement in this dis- trict. : Also discussing colonization, Mr Pitt especially referred to the proposed highway from the head of the lakes to Winnipeg, and mentioned that the minister, Hon. James Lyons, would be here shortly, when it would be well, he thought, for all communities concerned 'to present to him a united front with their suggestions. No good result, he said, could come from organzation at cross 'purposes. SPECIALIST.
