Crops Train, says “we are getting all the people we can handle properly. Questions are numerous on many problems but particularly those connected with soil management, chemical fertilizers and weed control." This train. directed by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture co-operating with the Canadian National and Can- adian Pacific Railways, is making 55 stops in Eastern Ontario. The attend- ance to date has averaged over 360 at each stop, the highest being 1,000 at Bellevillc. At this time of year there are usual- ly some agents offering new varieties of grain and other crOps at fancy prices. Extravagant claims are made for these which are alleged to offset the price and leave a very favorable balance. If farmers can procure more suitable sorts than they are now using they should do so, by all means, but why not permit the government farms to do the experimenting. Trained ex- perimenters at these stations are test- ing hundreds of varieties every year and no farmer is justified in paying a high price for “something new” until he learns how these kinds have produc- ed in comparison with others on the government farms. The crop report for the latter part of March comments on the increased interest which has been manifested in better seed. The demand for registered grain and certified potatoes is keen and supplies of such stock are rapidly becoming depleted. Although it is too early yet to make definite statements about the condition of fall wheat and clover. a great deal of anxiety prevails throughout the southern part of the province. Renewed attacks on the corn borer are described in the report from Essex County. Brood sows are bringing as much as $75 apiece at sales in Lanark County. while in Leeds farmers have been disappointed over the stopping of the sap flow. In Muskoka and Parry Sound live stock is better than had been anticipated with conditions in general about normal. Norfolk will use about 325 cars of fertilizer in 1930. This is governed by regulations of the Destructive Insect and Pest Act. amendments to which became eflective on March 12:. 1930. Seed Potatoes The term “Seed” when applied to potatoes must mean something in fu- ture. It is illegal to advertise or ofler for sale potatoes described as “”Seed unless they are vigorous and free from serious diseases and have been so certi- fied by an inspector of the Federal De- partment of Agriculture. who has in- spected the growing crop and also the tuber: after harvesc. cult to persuade them to leave their privete aflalrs to render this public { That farmers are anxious to improve ;their condition is evidenced by the ilarge attendance at special crop meet- gings this year. Special speakers were ; provided by the Ontario Department of iAgriculture to communities requesting ,their services. G. A. McCague, agricul- ftural representative in Huron, reports ’an attendance of 825 at a series of 15 ;meetings in all parts or the county. This was an average of 55 at each point. The Lincoln County average was 75. In Welland the average was over 100. Special meetings of this kind are being conducted in about 30 counties. The demand for speakers is so great that there has been difliculty in supplying suitable speakers.

The cost of the provements will actually increase the money value of the place by many times the amount spent in a simple plan of home planting. It will make it more valuable as a home and it will cer- tainly command a better price if out up for sale. It is surprising how a few improvements will turn a mere house into a real home.

OF RED CLOVER THE DURHAM CHRONICLE “Thanks for the Buggy Ride, ’ ’ Said the Little Locomotive Conservative speakers suggested that It was tantamount to a violation of the spirit of the election law. It was, they pointed out, the equivalent of a threat against five of the great Cana- dian provinces. The election law pro- vided against threats or inducements upon the part of an individual. Did it say nothing about threats or induce- ments coming from a Prime Minister? Upon the score of Federal responsi- bility, I. McDougall (Cons. Inverness) has shown in the course of the debate that if the present government would enact the protection to which Cana- dian industry is entitled, there would be no unemployment. If Canadians only made at home one-half of the goods which they import from abroad, he emphasized, additional employment t or 500,000 workmen would be provided. In lieu of the prosperity which a pro- tective tarifl policy would bring, unem- ployment had come. For this condi- tion, Mr. McDougall emphasized, the government was directly responsible. The debate is still continuing in the chamber. It is altogether probable that a vote will be reached upon it this: Tuesday. Uncertainty over the fate or the liquor clearance bill in the Senate was removed by the withdrawal by the Conservatives of their apposition to the second reading of the measure. After two days of debate the Tory members of the Upper Chamber recog- nized that they were in a small but definite minority in their contention that the legislation should go to a special committee of investigation. As they were in agreement upon the principle of the bill and had only de- sired the information that a committee hearing would have secured. they aban- doned their fight and supported the motion for second reading. At any rate it has proven a highly provocative statement aggravated by the fact that it was reiterated by the Prime Minister after the Conservative benches had greeted it with cries of “shame” it was attacked by Hon. Hugh Guthrie of the Conservative group m “the greatest impropriety of which 8 Prime Minister has ever been guilty.” For 9. Prime Minster to openly draw the “color line” politically in the matter of disbursements from the Federal treasury was altogether unprecedented in the chamber. It is generally agreed amongst both parties that the declaration, which was thrown out entirely gratuitiously in the course of the Prime Minister’s ad- dress, was a major indiscretion. It was unnecessary to Rt. Hon. Mr. King’s ar- gument, which was to the effect that unemployment, while national in its scope, was not emergent and was a local,â€"or at most a provincialâ€"prob- lem. Ottawa, Ont., April 4, 1930 Prime Minister King in the course of the House of Commons debate on un- employment has declared that he will “not give one five cent piece to any Conservative Govermnent". Thereby he has stirred up political commentary, both Liberal and Conservative, to a new high pitch of interest.

I know of a case of a motorist whose lights had suddenly blown from such a cause who drove into a station and bought two new headlight bulbs. He just asked the attendant to install them. never indicating that something was wrong. He was in too much of a hurry to be bothered. Well, the minute he switched on the lights and stepped on the starter, the whole system went dead. He blamed the attendant, which is not my idea of being fair. The moral of all this, of course, is to keep an eye on the lightin’ system, or have the service station do it now and then. Usually, however, the car owner's given a. tip when somethin’s wrong with the lighting system. If it’s a loose wire or something wrong with the switch, the lights are likely to burn al- ternately bright and dim. That's the motorist’s cue to stop and check things or drive into the first service or fillin' station he sees. A jarring bump, shift- ing the wires around is likely to finish everything at one time. The point I want to make about all these lights is that when they blow out, as lights still do when something goes wrong with some part of the wir- in’, the motorist is out considerably more money than he used to be. Yes. sir, when he has to buy a whole new set of bulbs at one time he's spendin' more money than he ever would have though: necessary. The old mechanic says: It takes a lot of bulbs to light a modem automobile. The motorist needn’t look very long nor hard to discover that fact for himself. Not with headlights, cowl lights, dome lights, tail lights, stop lights and park- in’ lights scattered all around him. KEEP WEATHER EYE motives came to get a ride acid-finite“ train.

One of these animals had loosened a panel of cement sheathing. which had fallen upon the stone floor and broken into sharp pieces. These were being hurled at visitors through the bars. in deliberate fashion and with excellent aim. The crowd had retreat- ed to form a large semi-circle. and the fragments flew straight and hard. and with enough force to produce serious injury. It has been very positively stated that none among the apes and monkeys can accurately hurl a missle or will attempt to use a weapon. Dr. Raymond Dit- mars, chief curator of the Zoo in New York, says that he has never seen a savage monkey or baboon attempt to use a stick or club in defensive or of- fensive tactics, nor has he ever noted any except baboons accurately cast a missle, but he relates the following in- cident that occurred at the Zoo: BABOONS CAN THROW WITH EXCELLENT Goods Delivered Anywhere In Town Pastry Flour 24 lb $1.00 Baker Confectioner E.
