What is good tillage? Firstâ€"to plough thoroughly; secondly â€"â€" to plough, and thirdly â€" to manure. The other part of tillage is to have good seed, to sow plentifully, and to take up all the weeds which may grow during the season. This information is not new, It was givâ€" en by Cato, a Roman Statesman, two thousand years ago. Clean Seed is Best This is a time of year when atâ€" tention is being given to seed supâ€" plies. If growers are using their own seed it is important to have it well cleaned and graded, to reâ€" move small, shrunken, immature or broken kernels, inert matter and weed seeds. It is not too early to bring the fanning mill out from its winter quarters, make necossary reâ€" pairs to the mill and screens, and commence cleaning operations. It is well not to hurry the cleaning of seed. The seed should be fed evenâ€" 1y and slowly into the mill and cleaned a second or third time if Ploughing, Sowing Now Proceeding Secret Of Good Tillage Shoald Be Learned For Best Artificial means of producing music have also done much to disâ€" rourage amateur effort, the speakâ€" ar believed.

This is well over a quarter of the populaâ€" tion of the province. As to possiâ€" ble frauds under the relief system, the minister reported that there were investigation; into relief adâ€" ministration in six municipalities last year. Some alleged frauds unâ€" der the reliet system have been before the courts over recent days. Statements in the Saskatchewan Legislature by Hon. R. J. M.

Considerable progress was reâ€" ported in the constrrâ€"tion of the plant at the Helen Iron ore mine in the Michipicoten district and it was anticipated this plant would be producing iron ore suitable for furnace treatme . at the rate of 300,000 tons a year, Total value of all mine producâ€" tion in Canada in 1938 approximatâ€" ed $455,000,000, of which Ontario produced $221,000,000. Gold proâ€" duction in Ontario was $101,900, 000, a gain of 12.6 per cent. and almost 60 per cent. of Canada‘s gold production. Dividends paid shareholders of Ontario mining companies in 1938 amounted to $64,800,000, the Onâ€" tario Legislature heard in the budâ€" get address of Premier Hepburn.

At least the car driver would remember the helpless engineer in his cab who can‘t s‘op his train as quickly as they can stop. their cars."

Restricted hunting and a large _ measure _ of _ control through the issuing of a limited number of special licenses for each regulated area have had the effect of eliminating a great deal of illegal taking and deâ€" structive practices and have alâ€" so resulted in creating a definâ€" itely better fecling between farmer and hunter.

Therefore, there must be coâ€"operation and goodwill between hunter and landowner, or posted lands will vresult and hunting become greatly restricted. Mr. Nixon also told the orâ€" ganization meeting, at which W. L. Miller, Liberal member for Algomaâ€"Manitoulin, was elâ€" ected chairman of this year‘s Committee, that a record was reached in 1988 in the distriâ€" bution of game birds in Ontarâ€" io by his Department. Twenty thousand mature birds were disâ€" tributed last year and about 30,000 would be handled in 1989 most of which would be pheasants,. Indications of this fact were given recently (March 29) by Ontario‘s Minister of Game and Fisheries, the Hon. Harry C. Nixon, when he told the memâ€" bers of the Ontario Legislaâ€" ture‘s Fish and Game Commitâ€" tee that interest in the province in hunting and fishing was inâ€" creasing by leaps and bounds each year, particularly among women. & ONTARIO MNORE ACTIVE IN HUNTING AND FISHING It‘s great sport to go aâ€"fishâ€" ing and pleasant relaxation to turn from our labours to rod and gun whenever the opporâ€" tunity presents itself. Ontaâ€" rio‘s citizens seem to â€"realize this simple truth more than any other group of Canadians beâ€" cause this province is listed as one of the most active in huntâ€" ing and fishing sports in Canâ€" ada. .. PRESS OF THE "Pah! ‘That is a foolish idea," retorted Guph, irritably, but he knew in his heart that the King was right. "The First and Foremost is a particular friend of mine and will do us no harm, for when I was there he even invited me into his house." The General neglected to tell the King that he had been dragged into the hut of the First and Foremost by means of a brass hoop, and that he had been treated other than courteously by that creature.
