After a lingering illness, William Jackson, life-long resident of Clin­ ton and former president and mana­ ger _of the Jackson Manufacturing Company, Limited, of Clinton, died Wednesday morning of last week. With the passing of Mr. Jackson, who was in his 74th year and who had retired from a successful busi­ ness career some five years ago. Clinton loses a repsected and highly esteemed resident.

The owners say that the price has been ,so lox that it does not pay to feed the cattle to the point of high finishing. The (cattle dealers say that the owners have stopped just short of making real money. The poorer fitted stuff sells slow­ ly and unsatisfactorily. What is needed is the patience and the art^that really puts the animals into prime condition. To do less than this seems to be the way to lose money. i)t #. # » « * 4! < • BADLY NEEDED Up to date this year we have not had a. really soaking rain. The snow got away in a delightful manner, every drop of its melt­ ing goodness soaking into the ground. So far so good. BUt so far we need rain. The woods are decidedly lacking in moisture. The swamps are away below par an water supply. The creeks are as low as we usully find them in May. All of ‘which mfeans. that abundant rains are badly needed for the supply of the shallower wells. We have not any figures to hand but we are pretty sure ■that the rainfall for the last ten months is much less than the rain­ fall of th§ average year. So here’s hoping that we’ll have plenty of rain for our crops. 4 & >> ft * « * ONE WAY OUT We have just heard of an Usborne farmer who sold a deal of his wheat price at which he a- decidedly fancy The secret? production behind who wanted a really good thing and had sufficient cash -to 'pay for the same. This year, as in other years, the man with a really good article to sell who makes his article known to the public has little difficulty in making good sales. There is still another secret in this affair. This farmer kept his eyes open for good seed himseR and bought liberally of varieties that had a,record of achievement behind them. Some cattle dealers tell us that they are keen to secure varieties of good conformation and that are well fitted. * for two dollars;,a.bnshels, We did not hear the sold .a. .great many of his oats but the- figure was one for this season.
