Holman with a purse on the 'anniversary ofthe 40th year of their marriage which took place in a double wedding at the home of the brother and sister's parents, the late Mr. and Mrs, M. Golightly. Both couples are still hale and hearty. Tables were quickly erected on the lawn and a bounteous supper soon spread which was enjoyed by all to the full. A double wedding cake grac- ed the. centre of the table, the lower story being in one while the ujiper stories were single, on either side of which the wedding couples took their places, The toast to the brides was propos- ed by the Rev. E, A. Thomson, of Monkton, and wag suitably responded to by the grooms. The company then struck up "They're all jolly good fel- lows."

The peace treaty having passed its third reading in the British Commons by a great majority, the people of the United Kingdom have given their ap- proval of the product of the long and painful toil at Versailles. The accep- tanee of the agreement is the culmin- ation of Lloyd George's war work. The British premier's bit makes an amazing recital of courage, states- manship and political acumen. It is not an exaggeration to say that at times Lloyd George held the Empire to its great purpose of crushing des- potism by sheer force of his person-, ality. Clemenceau, when dark hours enveloped France, scolded and prod- ded his countrymen into fresh fervor for the fight, lifting them from the mire to the mountaintop. Using other methods, but equally successful, was Lloyd George in rally- ing the British people in those hours when morale was lowered dangerous- ly by repeated disasters. It was on these occasions that Lloyd George's faith, his cheery facing of stupen- dous tasks, his superhuman overcom- ing of obstacles, restored to the na- tion the vigor and confidence that carried it to victory. Destiny may lead Lloyd George to further amaz- ing achievements, but few will sur- pass his splendid record of the war. THINK, ACT, WORK TOGETHER. » Speaking recently in the British House of Commons, Mr. Lloyd George made an appeal for national co-oper- ation--an appeal which should be re- echoed throughout every part of Can- ada. 'What have we got?" said the British Premier. "Output diminish- ed; cost of production increasing. That is exactly the opposite of the yoad which leads to prosperity. Let us think together, act together, work together. I beg that we do not de- mobilize the spirit of patriotism in this country. Keep it in the ranks until the country has won through to its real victory. That spirit alone won us the war. That spit alone can bring us a real and glorious triumph. 'No truer words were ever spoken. No more necessary advice was ever ut- tered. It is as necessary for the peo- ple of the Mother Country. Let the whole population close up the ranks think together, act together, work to- gether, Once they do so the country will be upon 'the highway to unpre- cedented prosperity, in which all classe' of the community will share. _-- = COUNTIES FINED FOR BAD ine his sheep and in the morning faut that Sie lamb had been killed ROADS. ~ Judge Madden last week found the counties of Lennox and Addington list. ple of this Dominion as for the peo-| WHO PROMPTS ?-- Shain a ' = 2 '-Parmers' Sun; >. What is the interest -- political, | commercial or financial -- which prompts the current discussion of | the marketing of this year's wheat ?' Mr. Magill, of Winnipeg, who is of the highest authorities, advises the re- | moval of all the restraints of the free- | dom of trading. In such case, and | in the ordinary course, a competi- , tive price would tend to be eStab-. lishedand if there were enough or, more than enough wheat for the world's use as there seems to be, the once would fall below that fixed by the United States. We are told, F. | however, that the price would be un- stable and that the banks would be unwilling to make advances to carry to market this fall or next spring. | We are also told that Britain will be | unable to buy Canadian wheat, and ,.companie the ineredible asertion- is made tliat | the United States will refuse the | bonding privilege under which Cana- | dian wheat is sent to the United! States seaports for shipment to Eur- ope. That is te say, the. United | States is about to ruin Canada in| order to minimize her own loss on | her wheat guarantee. It is scarcely | |necessary to say that we shall not) believe that suggestion until it is an) undeniable fact. 'The suggestion. is, | then, made that the Canadian gov- | ernment will fix the price of wheat | and Mr. White the late Minister of ! Finance is reported to have said | that the price would be fixed at aj level: not yet determined. Assuming | that. Britain is not going to, starve, | why may she not buy wheat from Canada, if she can buy from theUn- ited States, Australia or Argentina ? The farmers make no demand for price fixing or for the purchase of wheat by the Canadian government at a fixed price. The Council of Agriculture, recently in session, made no representation as to the matter. It is only likely that Can- ada's exportable wheat will exceed this year 100 million bushels and no benefit of a fixed price would accrue to those whose crops have failed, e HYMENEAL COOPER---J OHSTON The beautiful country residence of Mr. J.

Ar- mour, 227Hibernia St. The late Mr. Ratz was in his 69th year. He was born in the township of South East- hope. He had lived in Stratford for the past 18 years, and had resided in this section of the country all his life. For the past two years he had been in very poor health and had been a cripple about all his life. He was a bachelor, and is survived by one sister and three brothers-- Mrs. Mary Armour, 227 Hibernia St.; Peter Ratz, of Wiarton; Fred Ratz, of Union, Oregon, U.S.A., and Con. Ratz, of Milverton. The funeral was held from the residence of his sister, Mrs. Armour, 227 Hibernia St. to Avondale cemetery. Rev. 0. C. D. Klaehn had charge of the services.

Troubles 'Con Be Controlled by Var: ious Means--Healthy Seed Ought To Be Used, But So Far Spraying of the Plants Has Not Proved _Very Successful. ~ ce "In many sections of the Dominion bush beans are now recognized as a profitable special crop, and the acre- age bas been greatly increaSed dur- ing the last few years. Approximate- ly 100,000 acres are,planted yielding | considerably over one million bush- els. Destructive diseases have ac- d this increase in cultiva- tion and unless the farmer takes pre- caution to eliminate diseases the crop will not continue to be as popular or profitable as it should. It is safe to say that probably 25 per cent. of the crop is frequently lost through the attacks of one or more diseases which might be largely prevented by ylanting disease-free seed. The more mportant diseases are as follows: Anthracnose is probably most, de- tructive in the Maritimé Provinces end Quebee and some years in On- tario. It is caused by a seed-borne fungus which attacks stem, | leaves, pods and seed, producing dark brown o almost black sunken spots on the stem and pods and a blackening of che veins in the leaves. When severe the plants may be completely de- oliated or even completely destroy- 2d, leaving skips in the row. Bacterial Blight is a serious problem ~to the bean-growers of Ontario and to a less extent else- where. The bacteria or germs caus- ing this disease are seed-borne and attack .the stem, leaves, pods and seed, producing on the seed light yellow blotches sometimes involvy- ing the whole seed. Infected leaves develop small irregular water-soaked areas, which later turn brown and fall out. The spots on thestem and pods are of a raised, water-soaked appearance with a yellow to reddish amber color usually smaller and not so dark as Anthracnose spots. Rust and root rots of beans occur less frequently, but nevertheless are capable of causing serious loss. In many cases these may also be car- ried on the seed. Mosaic---This is a new disease which was reported as common in Southern Ontario dast year. The leaves on infected plants develop a peculiar mottled appearance. Diseas- ed plants produced a few small=pods as compared to healthy plants. Little is known concerning it. Its nature would indicate that seed from af- fected plants would probably produce a diseased crop, therefore the use of such seed should be avoided. Plant only disease-free seed on soil which has not lately been plant- ed to beans. This ean be best accom- plished by selecting, at the time of harvesting, disease-free pods from vigorous high yielding plants. These selected pods should then be im- mersed for not more than three min- utes in disinfecting solution, allowed to dry off and stored in a clean: mus- lin bag-or other disease free con- tainer. The seed from these pods should be used the following spring to plant a bean seed plot. While this is not sufficient to ensure the obtain- ing of disease-free stock the first year, it will, if practiced regularly, reduce disease to a minimum, and thus largely remove the tause- for poor yields. Where pod. selection has not been previously practiced the first start should be made by securing seed from a field relatively free from disease. This stock should be very carefully hand-selected, removing all spotted or even slightly discolored seed. After this has been done the seed may be immersed in solution of copper sulphate 1,000 for three min- utes or in a formalin solution 1:300 for five minutes, allowed to dry and planted. Beneficial results might also be obtained by pulling out and de- stroying diseased plants as they appear from time to time during the growing season. So far spraying beans has not proven a commercial success, but probably might be used to some extent in helping to prevent the spread of disease in seed plots. Cultivating, hoeing or picking beans while the foliage is wet should be avoided, as the disease is readily carried from diseased to healthy plants under such .condi- tions, What 'Broiler' Should Weigh. A good broiler chicken should weigh not more than 2% pounds, and has to come up to weight in a hurry, yet, the younger broiler chickens do not require any different treatment than if they were going to be kept for breeding, until about ten days before they are needed, then they should be put in a dry, clean pen and confined to grain feeds until it is time to let them miss a meal or two just previous to their being kil- ed. Previous to the final ten days' crowding, the best way to feed broil- ers is to give a palatable mash, mixed with milk if possible, and to supple- ment this with some green feed if the birds are not securing a supply of green stuff on range. There is usually-money to be made by killing and dry plucking the birds before shipping to market, and this is almost always necessary when dealing with private customers, yet there are con- ditions under which it may be better to dispose of the birds alive. 'Alfalfa Is Valuable Crop. Alfalfa is one of the best soil builders, but to do its work the seed must be inoculated before sown. That is, the seed must be treated with |bacteria--soil-building bacteria we 'will call them. This can be done by coating the seed with a growth of he bacteria secured through your county agent, who will also tell you \how to use it, or by~-seattering soil from an alfalfa field upon the ground Soil on which sweet well as soil from an alfalfa field, GUELPH'S BIG WELCOME HOME RACES, BFC. .09?

In Canada, the poli- tical leader who would take such a stand would have to find other than a farming constituency to elect him. Every country but Canada seems to have an effective way of dealing with the profiteers. In Europe and the U.S. many of them are seeing the inside of the jails for the first time in their careers. Perhaps the jail accomodation in Canada is too lim- ited to make it a worth while venture. Ira Beemer, a young G,T.R. brake- man, aged 28, met with a fatal acci- dent at Simcoe, his home town, on Thursday last.
