WUUN I AMILV TORONTO ol The serious task of providing an assured heavy crop confronts every farmer in a most imperative manner at the present time. Crops and more crops wil be required . Two methods may result in attainâ€"| ing that aim: | 1. Increased acreage. | 2. Heavier yields by the use 0f,| better and cleaner seed. . Kindly permit _ the repeating .of | Hon. P. M. Dewan‘s statement that subâ€"marginal or poor land shouldl not be broken up at the present time but that the second method,b which is easier, safer and most sat-[ isfactory be adopted, that is Clean, Grade and Sow on‘y the plumpesl.‘ heaviest and best seed of the highâ€" est yielding varieties â€" available on | the prepared land of your farm. 1 In the County of Grey are two. privately owned but farmer controlâ€" led seed cleaning plantsâ€" Messrs. J. Hemstock, Chatsworth, and H. C. Moody, Dundalk. In addition to the above, other privately owned cleanâ€" ers are available, such as Messrs. Adam Brown & Sons, Owen Sound. F. T. Hill & Company, Meaford and Markdale, Knechtel Co., Hanover, and Squire and Newton, ‘Thornbury. EThere may be plants located at Durâ€" ham, Ho‘stein, Ayton, Neustadt and ‘other places. This information is not at hand. If any are located at these points, information will be given next week. Many farmers have fanning mills of their own. Some are in good conâ€" dition but many others are not operâ€" ated because the screens have beâ€" come broken or rusted . These can be replaced, as new screens can be secured through your local hardware dealer. Shou‘d he not be able to supply you â€" with the _ necessary screens, the information where these can be purchased will be gladly givâ€" en. DEPT. OF AG@ICULTURE Now is the time to clean your seed when a large quantity remains from which to select the plumpest grain. Plow out at least one half. This can be chopped and fed to cattle qnite satiefactorily. Too many farmers may feel that because their grain is very plump cleaning is unnecessary. It is necesâ€" sarv. if for no other reason than to remove weed seeds which are found in every bushe! of grain grown. Please clean your seed in 1940â€"for your own sake; for the sake of your farm; for the sake of your communâ€" ity and for the sake of our Own and Empire forces struggling for us. Those who say a lot don‘t always know Before taking ofense, be sure that ‘t was intended. One needs a lot v" strength to overeom: his own weakness.

Describing the attack and robbery Constable Petch said: " After I was sluggzed on the head on Main St., I tried to put up a fight, but the men in the car subdued me. They forced me to march down the lane to the Wesley Church driving shed with my arms above my head. I tried to fight again and they said if I was not quiet they would have to shoot Again Petch was slugged _ and knocked down . A car was waiting there and he was forced into the back seat where his hands and legs were tied together in a torturing manner. He asked that his bonds| be loosened but was told " shut up.‘"; After two of the s‘ugs had sucâ€" ceeded in gaining entry into the Patterson Bros. building, Petch was taken in and guarded by the third man, while the others went ~about their business of rabbing the store of suits, stockings, ties and tobacco. The rear window, over which is a metal door, was pried cpen, the window smashed and four half inch bars bent to permit a man‘s body to squeeze through . Other doors were then smashed or unbolited to gain admission to the store proper. When their cars were loaded the thieves laid Petch on the floor with his head still bleeding, blindfolded and gagged him and drove off with their loot. ‘Ten or fifteen minutes later Petch‘ had struggled free from his bonds and staggered in a fainting condiâ€" tion to the home of Prov.
