Mr. Fanslier is a member of the Bean
Growers’ Association under the Na

through the one exchange, thus real
izing a considerably higher price to
the producer.
An open forum was held at thk
close of the address and Mr. Fansher
ably dealt with the questions asked.

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,
