G O O n R I C H cJafetii' TIRES THOS. COATES Main St.,Exeter FRANCIS REUNIONA FREAK FRUIT A cherry tree at the home of G. G. Holman, Goderich, that is bear­ ing freak formation of fruit, has aroused tihe curiosity of botanical students and laymen. Where each ■blossom had given way to a fruit, large air filled elongated globules have appeared. They are from two to six times the size of an ordinary cherry and are greenish yellow in color, with a tough skin, having an exterior much the same type ae that of an orange. The inside of the growth is a net­ work of stringy fibre and there is not pit, but a small sac, apparently a carpel containing two ovules. Every fruit on the tree has been transformed into one of these queer growths, a sample of which is be­ ing sent to the 0. A. C. at Guelph. Botaniets here believe th© change is due to some bacteria, the Working of which has caused fermentation resulting in the unusual growth. The annual Francis Reunion was held at the home of Mr. John Flet­ cher, of Winchelsea, on Saturday last about, one hundred being pres­ ent for both dinner and supper. A short program was given in the .after­ noon after which there were sports,, ball games and horse-shoe pitching. Thox-e present from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Francis, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Francis, Mr. Will Francis Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Brown and Mar­ jorie, Mr and Mrs. Paul Straffon, Mr. and Mrs. Will Straffon, Mr. and MW.

Sueccs- isional sowings made at intervals M ten days in the same field are a g oil way te get early e rn. Should the first planting succeed the second or third plantings may lie h aul out, oi if the first plantings bo killed by frost the third or fourth planting may th velop unhampered. MOTORCYCLE CRASHES As a Result of crashing into the side of a car driven by James O’Con­ ner, Reg. Smith, of Clinton, was thrown from his motorcycle and was unconscious for nearly half an hour. Tht1 accident occurred at Seaforth. Weeders Possibly one <of the most satLfa - factory implements for the control of wet ds in a growing grain crop is what is kn-vii as the finger weeder. This implement c-insists of a series ef 1 ng slender teeth which form a very light .harrow. The finger weed­ er niaj lie U’st-d to advantage on an­ nual weeds, shortly after germination both hef u’e and after the grain er q» has emerged and until the erep s 'me two t..i four inches high. is Don’t Forget the Gardens Thousands of families throuhout the country are planning now to use the available garden land to provide food. If people on the land would consider the number of meals that must be prepared during the year and estimate the actual earning pow­ er of a garden, more and better gar­ dens would be planted in .order to provided a continuous supply of sum­ mer an winter vegetables. A garden'ada. of one-quarter to one-half an in extent, properly cared fur, provide enough vegetables for average family. Her Hands Were Helpless with Rheumatism At ‘lie time she thought she would 1- ;-e the use of her right hand. But “a blessing”—in the form of Krus- i-hen Salts—put lit r right, again. “I was sure in a had estate,” she writes. “In fact, I could not do my huuseweik, 1 was so bad with rheu­ matism in my arms and hands. I lould not sleep at night, and I thought I would hse the use of my right hand. I could not hold any­ thing. nor could I sew a button on. My arm would go (load.

In 1934 production was approximately 12,000,000 lbs. Of this total roughly 2,250,00 0 lbs. wire exported to Great Britain and Holland and another 1,500,000 lbs. sold outside Ontario but within Can- ___. „d— The balance, somewhat over acre i 8,iioo,000 lbs., is consumed within the Province.” Under the supervision of Agricul­ tural Representative Ian McLeod, the Huron County livestock judging competition was held recently with the largest number of contestants in the history of similiar events in the county, there being sixty entrants. Judging was done on the follow­ ing farms in the vicinity of Blyth; Norman Sanderson, Yorkshire sows; Alex McEwen, two classes of Jerseys Duncan McCallum, draft horses; Jo­ seph Grey, Clydesdale .mares; Frank Woods, two classes of Shorthorn cat­ tle; Orville McGoum two classes <ol’ sheep. The judges of the work in the various classes were: G. R. Patter­ son, Walkerton, Bruce County Agri­ cultural Representative, dairy cattle; R. S- McKerdher, Dublin, beef cattle C. D. Graham, Perth County Agri­ cultural Representative, horses; T. S. Cooper; Markdale, Grey County Agricultural Representative, sheep; H. L. Atkinson, Clinton, swine. Contestants were in senior and junior classes, the age limit being 26 years or under, and the winner’s were as ‘follows: William Pepper, Seaforth, silver cup for highest point From a possible 750 he scored 67 4 points. Silver medal, Fred McQuillan Lucknow, 671; Canadian National Exhibition shield for novice class, Harold Lobb, Clinton, 660.

Special prize of weaning pigs, one to each highest sen. and jun. class- er in swine judging by Norman San­ derson, Blyth, won by Fred McQuil­ lan, Lucknow and Jack Turnbull, of Brussels. will an Timothy Seed Production In the past five years Canada’s position in regard to timothy seed supply has been changed from that of a heavy importer to that of a large producer, with production in 1934, amounting to almost enough for Canadian needs. This is particu- uarly fortunate at the present time ■when there are only- small supplies available for importation from other countries, owing to their greatly re­ duced production as a result of drought in 193 4. Timothy seed production in Can­ ada has increased from a few hun- red thousand pounds in 1929 to more than five million pounds in 1934. The importance of last year’s Canadian crop is not alone because of volume for the price per pound to the grower is about 16 cents. This is twice the average price for the five years previous when world pro­ duction was normal. This rapid de­ velopment and increase of the tim­ othy seed industry in Canada could not have come at a more favorable time for the seed growers. Even greater production may be expected in Canada this year but there is still ample room for further expansion, as any surplus seed produced in Can­ ada find a ready market abroad. The Province of Ontario, one of the richest areas of its size in the world, with great per capita resources of soil, mineral­ hearing rocks, forests, lakes and rivers, homes, farmsteads, factories, cities, towns and villages, now comes to its share­ holders— the people —with the soundest securities that can be offered—the bonds of your own Province, THE TREASURER OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO offers $20,000,000 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO and 3% Oebemtwres {Non-Callable) 2%% Debentures, dated June 15, 1935, due June 15, 1937. 3% Debentures, dated June 15, 1935, due June 15, 1940.

Honey Producers to Organize For Marketing of Products “Potentially there is no group in farm industry so favorably placed as the Beekeepers of this Province to ■organize their marketing of Honey,” said W. B. Somerset, Ontario’s Com­ missioner of Marketing. “Every beekeeper in the Province is registered under the Provincial plan for disease control. There are some six thousand producers in On­ tario but considerably less than one thousand produce a volume large enough to sell outside their own community and only a very rel­ atively few are carlot shippers.” “Crops are easily estimated are subject to fluctuations as to sonal conditions. Markets are certained but badly regulated, whole crop is usually forced on the market at the end of the production season whereas the product is con­ sumed gradually all through the year and the best consuming period is months later than when the crop is sold.” “Some years ago Ontario supplied all Canada with Honey and market­ ing problems were less difficult. Now Western Canada produces en­ ough fcr its .own needs and is look­ ing for other markets. Organization for export Disorganized ings abroad shipments or “Some two ers <ef the Province made real pro­ gress in collectively organizing to sell on the export market through one channel and in a uniform man­ ner. The crop that year was not only cleaned up at prices that were highly attractive in view of today’s quotations but an accumulated and embarassing surplus from preceding seasons was also sold out. Last year with an estimated short crop which turned out heavier than ex­ pected and freed from the former glut the industry allowed the move­ ment to break up into a dozen dif­ ferent overseas channels and export as a result, has now slumped back into the cutthroat conditions which proved so ruinous three or four years ago. Prices have fallen dis­ astrously. Latest overseas bids are reported to be 35c per long hundred­ weight which, with bare costs off alone and allowing nothing for com­ missions, means loss than 5c per pound to the producer at shipping station as compared with the 8£ and 9c obtained two years ago' through their own voluntary Export Associa­ tion.” “Now the beekeepers propose to re-establish their overseas effort and to accomplish unity are asking for powers under the Natural Pro­ ducts Marketing Act to establish their own local Commodity Market­ ing Boards to regulate all export but sea- as- Tlie TEACHER APPOINTED i has become essential, and competitive offer- are fatal to regulated fair prices.” years ago the beekeep- She Got Him Wrong The motorist whose car had come to a sudden standstill quickly diag­ nosed the trouble, and then applied to a neighboring cottage dtor assist­ ance. “Pardon me,” he said to the man who answered hfe knock, you by any chance possess any ricating oil?” The woman shook her head. “Any oil will do,” said the motor- fet, hopefully, “castor oil, if you have it. „ -“I ain’t got it, said the- woman shipments through one channel.

Nicolas, Adelaide, in honor of their brother Fred, from Mo'oredale, Man., who has been away for 2 5 years. Af­ ter greeting him about fifty relatives sat down to a sumptuouis dinned. The day was spent in music and a is'ocial time. After extending best wishes and good luck to Mr. F. Finkbeiner all returned home having ispent an enjoyable day. Letter from the West The following extracts were taken from a letter written by Mrs. Robert Wilson, (nee Selena Harvey) <of Er- iksdale, Man. The letter was writ­ ten from the E. M. Crowe Memorial Hospital, June 8, 1935. A week ago yesterday afternoon while coming to town in a wagon, the h'orseis bolted in fright and I was thrown violently about ten feet or more and lay there unconscious for some time until horses were subdued. I am black and blue ion hips and a four inch cut besides others and a big scar on left thigh. Two fractured ribs one an each side besides badly torn, ligaments. Crops have been so> poor. Even now grain is far behind and some garden seeds have failed to appear. Had nothing but.a short crop of potatoes last fall. Our town is at a standstill except for a rise in prices. Even the hanking office was remover leaving only the ediface which is quite a dis­ advantage at times, Hope there will a gotoclly number of old boys and girls at the reunion. Shall think of you often but expect that is all I shall be able to d'o. Selena Harvey (Mrs. Robt.
