The law re­ quires that each ball of binder twine sold, whether Canadian made or im­ ported, bears a label showing' the number of feet per pound in the ball. These statements as to length for example 506, 550, 600 or 650 feeding per­ il the birds g crates with in tario feet to the pound, are checked by than inspectors at the Seed Branch. I ' A certain tolerance is allowed un- I der the Act in consideration of var­ iations which naturally must occur. However, of the three hundred samples oi’ more tested annually, more than half have shown a great­ er length to the ipound than the la- j bel called for. In samples which did not meet the guarantee, the de- ! ficiences, in length per pound were ! inconsiderable, and only in occasion­ al cases did the deficiency exceed the limit allowed. Since 1930, the proportion of samples found to have shortages has not amounted to three per cent, of the total number of samples tested, the proportion in 19 3 5 being less than half of one per cent.

Far too much of the poul­ try offered on both the domestic and export markets is below the Milkfed A and Milkfed B classes for which a premium up to as high as three cents a pound is paid over the low­ er grades. The sure and certain way to raise the grade is by the comparatively simple process of ciate feeding the birds on a ration of fine-ground home grains, potatoes and sour milk There are various fattening -mix­ tures that give good results, but the Truck Tiles districts. Scald damage pronounced on early and ties than on the winter Temperatures have been tory for good colouring, ly in the case of early varieties. Fun- ' gus is less prevalent than usual, but side-worm injury is becoming no- ‘ ticeable. The apple crop in West- ■ ern and Southern Ontario is estim­ ated at 25 per cent, below last year. At August 15th, the apple crop for the entire Province was placed at SO per cent, of the 1935 output with varieties showing the following prospects, expressed as a percentage of a year ago—early varieties 83 per cent.: Wealthy, S7 per cent.; Bald- 1 win 90 per cent.; Spy 125 per cent.; I Greenings, 100 per cent.; Stark 100 I per cent.; Snow 60 per cent.; Mc- ; Intosh '63 per cent, and other var­ ieties 95 per cent. Pears have not been affected as greatly as, expected by the drought 1 and the fruit is sizing slightly below j normal. Unless early precipation is I received, however, Bartletts and ia- i ter varieties will be undersized. Pest injury so far is very slight. The 193 6 yield of pea:s will approximately be about 70 per cent, of last year’s crop. The sizinp of peaches has been fairly good to date and pest injury has been generally negligible. The drought has increased to some ex­ tent tree mortality throughout the Niagara Peninsula. With early rain­ fall peaches are expected to be a fair crop of excellent quality, and only about 3 5 percent, below the heavy yield in 1935. The grape crop is conisderably re­ duced this year and is now estimat­ ed at 60 per ©ent. of last drought is causing serious tality in many vineyards fruit is somewhat smaller mal at this time of year, particularly on vines located on poor moisture retentive soils.

The traveler on the London to Goderich comes ter, a point which is alm.st between the two places. It evident that the advanage position would be manifold from the point of the pioneer, whose mode of transportation was limited in some [ eases to walking, it would appear that Exeter would serve as an excel­ lent half-way for early travelers. Records point out that in the way of settlement, it was the first in Huron County, with the exception /of Goderich, and certain smaller sites, which never achieved promin­ ence, Also, that James Willis and his wife settled on lot 20, on the London read survey. They were the first settlers on the site of Exeter, in fact, they were the first settlers on that portion of land from where the London road left the Township of London, to where it joined with the Huron road at Clinton. This was in 1832, and it is known that the log cabin erected by Willis was the first home of a white man within a radius of 20 miles. Not only was he a stranger to this section, but ignorant, as well, of Canadian life, because lie had just immigrated from Ireland. On his way to the tract of land which he had purchas­ ed he passed through London, which was only a backwoods village con­ taining six or seven shanties. Mr. Willis remained in a home at Lon­ don until he had cleared a portion cleared well, a known shelter.” mall of the land. He not only this land, but he erected as log shanty, which he was to later term as a "mere Unable to Buy Hoe Older residents of the vicinity re­ call -many reminiscences which Mr. Willis on occasions related. In the spring when Mr. Willis had brought her from London to the new home, he had to walk all the way back to buy a hoe. He had one shilling in English money with which to buy it. When he arrived in London, it was to find that the cheapest hoe was worth almost three times the amount He had to return without one, and that year he planted his potatoes among the stumps with an axe.

Isaac Rattenbury had se­ cured the mail contract, and it was his brother John who carried it be­ tween Goderich and London for a number of years. In fine weather, and with good roads, the trip to Go­ de: icli and back from London was made in a week, At certain times of the year, his trip took at least two weeks. For several years previous to the time when it was incorporated, Exe­ ter had acquired a reputation of be­ ing a. lively .place. It was frequently mentioned as a place of importance in the dispatches of the head office of the Canada Company, When the coming of the London, Hu:on & Bruce Railroad was being agitated for, it was decided that a much stronger appeal could be made if the village -were incorporated rThe corpoiation was effected by (special act, assented to on March 29 1873. The new village was comprised of the villages of Frances and Exe­ ter, with a population of nearly 1,060 people. It also appointed William Bailey as the returning of­ ficer for the coming elections, Isaac. Carling was first reeve, and James Pickard, W. H. Verity, John Trick and Edward Drew, councillors Michael Eacrett, by a resolution was appointed to the office of clerk, Ro­ bert Saunders was treasurer, and Joseph Acheson and George Kilpat- :ick as assessors. To show how rapidly the town expanded, the assessment in 1874 was for $105,515 and in 1877 had increased to $482,355. On withdrawing from the town­ ships Exeter assumed one twenty­ seventh of the debt of Usborne, as well as one twenty-fifth of the debt of Stephen. This was levied in pro­ portion to the inhabitants and the total population. i i l Criticisms in General (Contributed)night. At times, when her band was away, she found the almost unendurable.

Mc­ Connell, previous to this, had been a resident of London Township and he was the contractor who had built the, or, to be more exact, he chop­ ped out the London road, as it was a number of years later, before any building was undertaken. He took up a quantity of land from the Canada Company, and was the original purchaser from them, of land on both sides of the London road, as well as on both sides of the Aux Sable, where Exeter was later founded. He was for many years one of the outstanding promoters of the district. It is to be noted that a child born in this family, the sum­ mer of his arrival, was the first white child to be born in the region.

Al­ though it was almost covered with forest, it was, nevertheless, flooded with water at certain times of the year. There was no promise of its development until the coming of Isaac Carling in 1847. He expressed the thought that the. location was to have a future. Attendant upon this was his action in erecting a large tannery, as well as the first store. He gave up the store, followed the tannery clusively, and built up wess. An Englishman, by James Pickard came 18'52, with scarcely anything except natural ability. In spite of the fact that it was a comparative wilderness he opened a store on a small scale. At first his business was small, but he became one of the most prosper­ ous men in Western Ontario. Later he entered the manufacturing busi­ ness, and his industries were also a factor in favor of the village. George McLeod, who was a na­ tive of Scotland, came to the local­ ity in 1843. Soon after his coming he assumed the duty of “wood-rang­ er,” in the employ of the Canada Company.
