PICKARD We welcome inquiries Insurance of all Kinds Phone 165/ Exeter Communication A statement was made in the Times-Advocate last week that there was sleighing here in April, 75 years ago. Now I have„ something that can beat that. When I wa6> in the west fanming in Manitoba wo had sleighing on the 20th of May, 1910. We drew hay from one farm tO' an­ other with the sleighs and the sleigh­ ing was good for one day. I sowed whoat that spring about the middle of April and it was up about three inches when the snow came. When the snow went away the weather turned warm and we never had a setback after and we had a good crop that year, Wm. Mitchell, Hxetor
