More Than a Weed Killer Regular cultivation in the gar- den does a great deal more than merely keeping down the weeds,. Actually that end of the business is only part of the service. Cultiva tion keeps -the soil open and fine and 'thus makes it capable of ab- sorbing and retaining moisture, letting in certain amount of air and making it a first class medium for plant growth. And it is amaz- ing what a simple job it is to run over the flower and vegetable gar- den once a week in the growing season and less often later in July and August with a rake or cultiva- tor. It is not necessary to stir deeply, the shallower the better as the season advances. But regular cultivation will keep things grow- ing and healthy and add much to the neat appearance of the gar- den. - KITTY NOTES From the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club ' (Short, Sweet and ;to the Point) (Contributed by Bowles) - Information coming to our atten- tion reveals that Doc MacLennan's "Pot of Gold" tournament had a good beginning on Tuesday last with a goodly number of the old amestros on hand trying to pick up that very elusive shekel at the end of the season. Good luck, boys! Sure hope we can horn in on a few. * *.. * President Frank Sills sure has started the club off on the right foot this season as a number of new faces were seen on the greens for the mixed events of Thursday evening, and guess what? One of thos% same tenderfoots ran off with the major prize! Keep up the good work, boys; we'll have Sea - forth Club at the top of the list yet. * * * Winners of the various events were as follows: men's first, Bert Clausen (a greener); second, Ken ,Willis; ladies' first, Janet Ford; second, Katie Phillips. * * * Wonder why any women would come home and present her hubby with a dish towel as first prize. Someone sure must have talked her into • that one! Heard rumb- lings where Bev had a stacked team against him last week, which naturally eliminated his ' name from the usual list of prize win- ners. ' - New Members All members of the club welcome the following new participants to this "Seaforth's yrtosf popular sum- mer pastime": Mrs. Bessie Broome, Mrs, Mae Watterworth, Mr. Bert Clausen. Rumours have it that all of .the above were really sharp. Keep up the good work and I am sure that you will enjoy the sport as much 'as we have. FUNERALS SISTER M. CHRISTINA Rev. Sister, M.. Christina died at Mount St. Joseph, London, on Sun- day.

Use one pound of 2,4-D amre (or low vola- tile ester) per ape in 40 gallons of water for broad leaf weeds. One and a half- pounds of brush kill (2,4,5-D) per acre in 40 gallons of water will knock out the hard -to - kill weeds like milk weed, wild carrot and even small hawthorns, says Glen Anderson, OAC Field Husbandry Department. About $4 to $8 will buy the material needed to spray all the fence rows on an average 100 -acre farm. Sell that unnecessary piece of furniture through a Huron Exposi- tor Classified Ad. Phdhe 141.
