R. XI. Clemons, agricultural represen­ tative for the County of Wellington, believes that summer fallowing competitions would be more to the point. Midsummer plowing after laking off a crop of hay, after-har­ vest cultivation and summer fallow­ ing are three methods of weed con­ trol that are giving satisfactory re­ sults in Wellington. Mr. Clemons is of the opinion that the best meth­ od of plowing in July immediately after taking off a crop of hay. This has the advantage of allowing the farmer a crop for that season. The crop tends to dry out the soil thor­ oughly and has a greater tendency to check sow thistles roots than when plowing is done later. With re­ gard to summer fallowing competi­ tions Mr. Clemons said: "II would be a more practical scheme of encour­ aging good cultivation than present system.” Gyproc Gives PERMANENT PROTECTION MADE from Gypsum rock, Gyproc Wall­ board does not burn.

She will be very greatly miss­ ed by her parents and brothers as well as by the staff of the Mountain Sanatorium, Hamilton, of which she was a valued member. The esteem in which she was held was evidenced by the magnificent floral tributes which banked the casket and filled the room. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C. J. Moorhouse, pastor of the Main Street' United church, assisted by Canon Daw chap­ lain of the Sanatorium, who spoke very highly of the work of the de­ ceased, telling of her devotion to her patients; of the sorrow felt by them because of" hei” demise and of the love felt by everyone for her Among those who attended the fun­ eral were Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
