E. McIntosh, Do- minion Fruit Commissioner. This was the first visit of the Commissioner to this district, and he expressed himself to the “Review-Herald” as being sur- prised and delighted with the orchards he saw in this district. In fact, he went so far as to say that he had seen a more promising crop here than in most Ontario districts which he visited. He was escorted on the local tour of local orchards by Mr. George Carna- han. of Meaford, inspector under the Fruit Act. and was given the oppor- tunity of seeing many of the good or- chards in this district.â€"Thornbury Review.

Foremost among these is the labor saving feature. Farmers are all reminiscent of the hours of sweat- ing and hustlingâ€"with prayerful looks at the weather-vane sandwiched in betweenâ€"in the days when every sheaf was hauled into the barn, whereas to- day a 15-acre field is easily threshed and trucked to market in a single day, without even one little bead of perspirâ€" ation being allowed to trickle down the rafters of a stuffy mow. Regarding wheat, it has long been considered expedient to thresh this crop in the field. The doctrine of an early market, which seems to rule the minds of wheat growers, has been largely responsible for this. Then, with the increase in acreage of all grains, a great many farmers are find- ing themselves cramped for barn room, this predicament rendering the employment of the new method a ne- cessity. This was clearly exemplified. this season. If there had been a less expeditious bean harvest in 1927, there- by allowing no time for the planting of fall wheat in the bean ground, it is not likely that these “emergency” field threshings would have been so frequent. But when it comes to oats and other grains the time is not far behind when it was the next thing to a curiosity when anyone failed to make use of the flat rack and slings in har- vesting these crOps. But while someone is breezing through so much work so easily an- other less venturesome farmer may be endeavoring to harvest his crop in the old-fashioned manner at the very mo- ment when he is called away to help the other fellow thresh in the field. This is not only unfortunate, but sometimes an aggravating nuisance. This same situation is therefore setting the stage for the exit of those good old Ontario threshing bees hankered after by farmers as a real social feature. Field threshers already prefer to hire Agriculture, the “never changeable” has undergone some revolutionizing in Southwestern Ontario during the past decade which ha driven the old- timers to shaking their heads and wondering “what kind of a ranch is this country going to be, anyhow ?” At harvest time their skepticism is cli- maxed for the season. To them the westerm'zing of our grain fields by dis- carding the old practice of hauling in- to the barn, in favor of field thresh- ing, is little short of madness. But, notwithstanding, the amount of Western Ontario grain being drawn in- to the barn is decreasing year by year. In fact, in Essex and Kent, this system is practically eclipsed. at the present time. Middlesex, Norfolk and Elgin are more reluctant to part with the old safety first method. Slowly but surely, however, field threshings are beginning to predominate in this end of the peninsula. hands rather than ask a. neighbor to leave his grain standing out precari- ously under the theatening sky in , or- der to help somebody thresh. The time is imminent when all field thresh- ings will be conducted in this manner in our particular section 01' the pro- STOOK THRESHING IS COMING TO FORE Gradually Supplanting Older Methods as Speed Becomes More Important. Syndicate machines already have been inaugurated, most notioeably in Kent. When farmers get ready to thresh grain from the field they do not want to risk having it spoiled while waiting for a maéhine.

He claims that typhoid germs are killed in a soap solution only as warm as the tempearture of the body, while cold solutions would not kill them. The pneumonia germ is killed by a weak solution of the sodium ingredients in soap, while the typhoid germ is not af- fected by the same substance even if the solution is concentrated to 2,000 times as strong.
