JOHN LAMBE Last Wednesday, December 19th, Mrs. Elizabeth Lambe, wife of John Lambe went to her reward. She-was born 77 years ago. Mrs. Lambe had been ailing for a number of years and on the 3rd of October she finally took to her bed. The funeral service was held at the home of her son, Mr. Geo. Lambe, on Friday, 21st inst. A good many of Hier. old friends and acquaintances were present in spite of the inclemency of the weather. Mrs. Lambe was born in the Town- ship of Reach and she lived in that vicinity practically all her life. . A few years ago she moved to Uxbridge. The deceased leaves to. mourn her loss a devoted husband, Mr, John Lambe, two daughters, Mrs. William | Asling and Mrs, Wm. Armstrohb, both of the Township of Reach, and three sons, William of Toronto, George of Her brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton, Here brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton, INTERESTING TESTS IN ONTARIO COUNTY During the past summer four in- 172.3 bushels per acre. 0 4-8-10 at 1600 Ibs. per" acre yielded yielded 132 bushels per acre teresting tests were conducted by the] - local Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the Department of / Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, with reference to the use of fertilizer on three of the important crops of the county. One test on oats on the farm of Mr. C. Ashenhurst, Uxbridge, was con- ducted as a demonstration. Those who visited Mr. Ashenhurst's farm during the summer were able to com- pare returns from 0-12-56 and 2-12-6 with those from no fertilizer. In the tests over the Province during the past year fertilizers have given about , the same yield when applied at 'the "Yate of 2 bags per acre, but they have given an increase of 16 bushels over no fertilizer. Two interesting potato tests were conducted, one on the farm of Mr. H. Morrison, where an unfortunate scourge of blight ruined the test, and the other on the farm of Mr. A. Mel- ville, Uxbridge. On Mr. Melville's farm a special study was made of the rates at which fertilizers were applied. " 4-8-10 mixture was used in view of the fact it has proven so génerally suit: able to the particular crop, 'and the re. _pults obtained were as follows: 2 4-8-10 at 600 Ibs. per acre yielded fray 815 bushels per acre. tbs. per acre yielded bushels per acre. 000 Ibs. per acre yielded 'bushels' per acre. From the figures obtained on Mr. Melville's test it appears that under normal conditions 4-8-10 can be used with considerable profit on his soil up to 1000 Ibs. per acre. The big point in conducting rate tests on potatoes or any other crop, is to apply the ferti. lizer-- with such care, especially. in higher amounts, so that it will not injure the seed or seed pieces. Mr. Melville's potatoe soil is a sandy loam which grew a crop of oats last year followed by clover. Mr. Melville had an increase-of about 153 bushels per acre for an application of 1000 Ibs. of fertilizer per acre. Under anything like normal conditions for potato prices, this would prove exceed- ingly profitable. On the farm of Mr. J. Mark, Sea- grave, another test was conducted with turnips. Mr. Mark's soil is a clay loam which grew wheat jn 1933 and received 16 loads of manure per acre in preparation for the 1934 crop. The results obtained in the test with 4 fertilizers are as follows: 0-12-10 at ¥75 Ibs. per acre yielded 21.7 tons per acre. 2-12-10 at 8756 Ibs. per acre yielded 23.8 tons per acre. 2-16-6 at 876 Ibs. per acre yielded 28.2 tons per acre. 0-16-0 at 876 Ibs. per acre yielded 20.9 tons per acre. yielded 22.4 tons per acre It will be seen that the largest increase of 1.4 tons .per acre or 46 0 predeceased her last year, whilst her sisters Mrs. Weir of Roseville, and Mrs. Cherry, of Chicago, and her brothers Edward and James, of Reach, and William of Roseville, still Survie her. Mrs. Lambe had a most favorable disposition and is greatly missed by her many friends. 'Rev. Joseph Denny, who was her minister on the Epsom circuit, had charge of the funeral service. EPSOM It is expected that the Epsom Ladies' Aid will be held at the home of the President, Mrs. A. Claughton, on Thursday afternoon next, December 27th. It is hoped that a good number may be present. A great number of the Epsom peo- ple last Friday attended the funeral of Mrs. John Lambé at the residence of her son, Mr, George Lambe, at Ux- writhge. Next Sunday the children's choir will take charge of the, musical ar- rangements at the Bethesda Appoint- meht on the Epsom Circuit: The Sunday. School meeting of the Epsom Appointment will be held in the basement of the Church next Fri- day afternoon. Let your interest be manifested by your attendance. The fine weather last Sunday even- ing brought a fine crowd to the Christ- mas service at night, which attendance was much appreciated. Each of the Christmas Trees were much enjoyed on all the Appoint ments, The children were well trained and much credit is due to those who had charge of arrangements. : SUNDERLAND Rev. R. M, Patterson, minister of the local. United Church, has received |: a letter from W. W. Champ, Regina, Sask,, chairman' of the Voluntary Rural Relief Committee of that Pro- vince, expressing the appreciation of the citizens of Western Canada for the car of provisions sent to the Henley | section by the people of this distriet. The letter stated that all the goods arrived in good condition and described the scene at the distribution of the goods. Mr, Champ stated that dozens of farmers stand around the distribut- ing depot awaiting their turn for the supplies which they urgently need, speaking quietly to one another as though hushed by the great weight of their debt for the kindness. ' The hospitality and kindly. undex- standing of the folks of Eastern Can- ada is incomparable, writer Ir, Champ, who toured the East last Sum- mer in the interests of his organiza- tion. Were the people of the East able to visualize it all they would be thrilled to see the happiness they have occasioned our stricken people. I feel that some day these great acts of kindness will be chronicled as one of the most inspirational gestures in Canadian history. Certainly if Canadianism means anything this means a great deal in the shaping of a true and loyal national conscious- ness. ) Sunderland is. one municipality in Ontario - which is experiencing a business revival, Several new busi- nesses have been established: here within recent months and many new families have taken up residence here.
