MAY . MONTH OF
CLOUD AND .RAIN
The .month of May 'was one of
cloudiness and rain to a degree that
created a serious problem in some
districts. Locally this area has been:
more fortunate, and seeding .opjer-
ations .were finally: completed "be-
° tween 'showers."
' In the Listowel and Artily areas,
it was reported here last week that
only a fraction of seeding had been
accomplished; and ithas now reached
a Y point ' when only late crops can
be sown with much assurance of a
satisfactory harvest.
Last week's Seafarth Expositor
told of . similar difficulties experienced
in that area where on low-lying farina
;many fields were still flooded. In the
Seaforth and Mitchell areas, W, ):
Anderson stated last week weather
and land conditions were causing a
serious problem in getting flax
sowed.
In• the Lucknow vicinity rain fell
some . time during • the, 24 hours: on
•
each of • 21 days, although the total
rainfall for the month was officially'
recorded at 2.66 inches which' is not
partieularly excessive. There was lit-
tle sunshine however, and° .a eon-
- tinued
on--tinued period of damp days.. , •
During twelve days of 'the month
there was no sunshine. On eleven
days there.. was an 80 per cent . sun-
shine, with lesser degrees of sunshine.
during the remaining 8 days. -
ge .
Mr. Paterson •to date' has failed to
interest the Government in his sug-
gested plan of having this area de-
veloped an•d • protected under Govern-
ment supervision, shduld ..he b& sac-
cessful in bringing in oil, which he
is certain: exists in4he area.
Asa result, if' Mr. Paterson is to
drill a well: in the Holyrood district,
it :will be . necessary for him to pro-
teed under the usual, but slow' meth-
od of first securing a block of leases;
all of which would be explained in de-
tail at the proposed . Holyrood meet
ing. •
•
To 'Drill At Owen Sound .
In company with a well 'driller from
Hepworth,- Mr. Paterson visited •the
•Owen Sound district last week where
dtfinite• ..evidences ' of oil ', exist;
although not • in the same volume as
is. indicated locally. A year ago a
well was drilled and oil was struck
at Owen Sound, and samples 'of it
were (brought' back by Mr. Peter-
sen. Ile believes that this, well ,was
just on the edge 'of the field and as
a result was not a commercial pro-
ducer.
Plans for drilling another well at
Owen Sound are now underway and
it is possible that drilling may start
in the near future. While Mr. Pater-
son is associated with this effort at
Owen Sound, he. hesitates'to pass up
the local prospects, and is hopeful
that there will 'be. a favourable re-
action to his Nproposal to take up a
block of :leases, 'which is essential he -
fore ''drilling 'could be undertaken
here: , .

It was in 1908 before The Gideois:
commenced- their program ' of placing
Bibles in hotel 'rooms,, and 'since then
more than 1,600,000 have been placed
in United: States, and Canada. Their

expanded to take. in: hotels, schools,
penal,linstitutions; steamships.. and air

imonies of the influence and coi}ver-
sions their •Bibles had' affected in the
various institutions. •
