CLAIMS STUDENT MINISTER STAYED BUT THREE DAYS Statements of Kirkton Young Man Brings Spirited Reply From West (Stratford Beacon Herald) “Gladmar Replies—Bittie Town Hits Back With Facts,” says a head­ ing in a recent issue of the Leader- Post, of Regina, Sask. Gladmar is the western hamlet that was too preoccupied with its troubles to pay any attention to a student mission­ ary. So said J. Carman Hazlewood, of Kirkton, Ont., who was sent to Gladmar a few weeks ago by the United Church, stayed fcr two weeks and then started back home. On July 4, Mr. Hazelwood was in­ terviewed by a Beacon-Herald re­ porter. Hazelwood said that Glad­ mar had been particularly hard hit by drought and depression, that nobody would accept him as a boarder and that he didn’t have a chance to hold a service of worship. Apparently some of the Gladmar folk feel that Hazlewood’s com­ ments have been unfair to them. So a spirited defence of Gladmar and its people written by a member of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the United Church in Gladmar, appears in the Regina Leader-Post. The letter is here quoted in full: Gladmar, a small hamlet of 53 people, is located on the C. P. R. Estevan-Minton line, six miles east of No. 6 highway. The district was first settled in 1910 and pioneer residents and newcomers alike have remained in the district to make their homes and still encour­ age and assist with worthy com­ munity enterprises, including those of school, sport and church. The town has two elevators, three oil companies, two garages, one hardware store, post office, cafe and confectionery, two .general stores, community hall, lumber yard, stat­ ion and section house, dray and livery, two implement agencies, and until a few months ago a bank. One and a half miles north of town two coal mines operate the year around. These mines are at the site of “Old” Gladmar. A two roomed school teaches up to and including grade 12 work. It is the only high school in the R.M, of Surprise Valley No. 9. They Play Tennis There is an active tennis club and a live board of trade. The Luth­ eran church women have a ladies’ aid and the United church woman can boast of a women’s missionary society of 14 members who meet regularly every month. The W-M.S. has been highly praised by church and presbytery for its splendid work and spirit throughout the drought years. It is this organiza­ tion that greatly resents the false statements made in the -press re­ cently by J. Carman Hazlewood, of Kirkton, Ont., who was in the Glad­ mar district for three days in May as a student minister of_the United chUTCh. 415 Pails for $1 This student says no one wanted to keep him except a Chinese. The Chinese at Gladmar do not keep anyone as they only have a cafe and confectionery and no accom­ modation for roomers. It was un­ necessary to share drinking water from the Chinese as there is a town well with windmill which has tested water—a well that has never been pumped dry. Beside it there is a large cistern for use as fire pro­ tection and reserve supply. Drink­ ing water is also hauled into town twice a week from a well half a mile from town and is sold at 45 pails for $1 (not shipped in by tram and sold 16 for $1 as stated). Glad­ mar and district is not and has never been short of water supply, but the student says they’ve been without for eight years. Ministers “Batch” The student could not have call­ ed on the family who boarded the theology student last year as no one has boarded the student for several years. There have been stu­ dent ministers in this district for over 20 years, but during the sum­ mers of H934-35-36 the ministers “batched in a two-roomed building kept clean and furnished by the women’s missionary society. They preferred doing that as they were absent so much in their field. This year the same building was cleaned and in readiness for the student when he arrived in May, 1937. It contained an iron bed, springs, mat­ tress, all-wool comforter new this spring, new pillow, white sheets, clean quilts, kitchen table, study table bedside table, two rockers, an easy chair, a three-burned gas stove, a heater, dresser, supply of towels, sheets, pillow slips, dishes, pots and pans, silverware, as well as small articles to make the place comfortable, including rugs on the floor. It is six years, not eight as stated that residents here have received relief. It is, however, only four years since & great number were forced on relief. This number has increased each year, but even at the pi'esent time there are some who are not on relief. True, this Is a hard-hit drled-Out area and no crop will be harvested this year, In that ... announcing ... The Agnew-Surpass Shoe Stores Ltd., take pleasure in announcing the appointment of the F, G. Wright & Co., of Exeter, as sole distributors for their shoes in Exeter and the surrounding district. On and after Sept. 1st Ibis store will be equipped and fully stocked with the very latest in both men’s and women’s smart style shoes. These shoes will be priged exactly as will be found in all of the 72 stores of this great Coast to Coast organisation. In the meantime every shoe in this store at the present time must be cleared by August 15th regardless of cost. Take advantage of these Drastic Reductions while the sizes are complete. Agnew-Surpass also specialize in Children’s, Misses’ and Growing Girls’ styles and proper widths. Mr. Hazlewood was correct. How­ ever, the spirit of the people is still I good and the adherents of the < church hospitable and interested in ' the work. Why did this student, after only three days' stay, desert a community so in need of en­ couragement, example and leader­ ship without even saying he was going. “See It Through” All denominations have free use of the community hall fcr chuirch services and this is the building in which services have been held by United church students for 12 years. The United church charge here covers an area of about 30 miles by 12 miles. This spring’s student only remained in the district three days and made one call. How could he say, “They’ve sort of lost faith after all these years,” when past records showed the past students had received co-operation? The western spirit is Gladmar’s spirit and in spite of failures and disappointments they are determin­ ed to see it through. Combatting Garden Insects Garden Plants are liable to at­ tack by many kinds of destructive insects. -Some of the these destroy the foliage, others the flowers, while others bore into the stems and even into the roots, Injurious insects may be divided roughly into two classes by the nature of their mouthpieces, namely (1) biting insects which bite and chew their food, such as cutworms and other caterpillars, and pear-eating beetles, and ((2) sucking insects which suck up their food by means of their beaks, such as aphids, the true bugs, and the scale insects. If the insect is one with biting mouthparts, a stomach poison such as paris green, or arsenate of lead, is usually applicable, but if the in­ sect has sucking mouthparts, such poison would be useless because the insect would insert its bea<k thro’ the poison and reach a safe feeding place beneath. For sucking insects therefore, contact insectitudes, those commonly used being kerosene emulsion, hale oil soap, and prepar­ ations containing tobacco. HURONDALE W. I. PICNIC The annual picnic of the Huron- dale Institute was held on Thurs­ day, July gth at Grand Bend. De­ spite the very hot weather a very pleasant afternoon was spent in ’races and contests. Afterwards many spent a happy hour swimming. At six o’clock about 90 of the members and their families sat down to a delicious supper. Great enthusiasm was- displayed later in a lively ball game. The results of winners in sports: Peanut scramble for the children; girls under 8, Margaret Rundle, N.

BDYTiH—While hay hauling was in progress on the farm of Robert Wightman, the collie dog got under the wagon and was taken up on the loader. Ln trying to free the dog Harold Wightman was bitten sever­ al places on the arms. Farm News Control of Pear and Cherry Slug For the control of the pear and cherry slug, all young year and cherry trees, including nursery stock which have not been sprayed with a poison, should be sprayed immed­ iately with 1 1-2 lbs lead arsenate in 40 gallons 3-6-40 Bordeau mix­ ture. Livestock Feeds The problem of the dairyman to­ day is to produce at a profit or break even under existing circum­ stances. Greater economy in feeding should hot mean less efficiency. Ways of improving home-grown crops can De found, thus necessitat­ ing fewer (purchasing feeds. Dairy­ men who have alfalfa hay and corn silage can readily get along with a lower protein concentrate ration than the farmer with poor hay and no silage. Even alfalfa hay varies considerably In nutritive value, de­ pending on when it is cut. Farm-; ers should cut their alfalfa at a time when, they are fairly certain of pro­ curing a valuable feeding material than If left until too far advanced. Curing is also important and the more green leaves than can be har­ vested and the greater the retention of color, the higher the feeding val­ ue that will he realized in the feed- ing-omt (Pto’efess next winter. The Cabbage Worm The cabbage worm is a velvety green caterpillar commonly found feeding, on cabbages and cauliflow­ ers. It also attacks turnips, rape, Brussels sprouts, kale and radish. It eats large circular holes in the cabbage leaves and frequently bores into the the centre of the cabbage heads, making the cabbage unfit for market and spoiling them for home consumption. Control measures should be applied as soon as injury to the plants becomes evident. Dusting with arsenate of lead and hydrated lime is the mostly widely recommended remedy. One part of the poison should be mixed with eight parts of hydrated lime and the mixture dusted on the plants in the early morning or late evening when the leaves are wet with dew. Par- ticuar care should be paid to .the central portion of the cabbage and cauliflowers since it is usually the favourite spot for feeding. Two .or three applications of the mixture should be made as required, care, be­ ing taken to apply the dust immed­ iately feeding becomes evident. Due to the waxy condition of the leaves the use -of a poison spray has not given satisfactory results. War Against Weeds Dry weather and bright, hot sun­ shine are the farmers’ greatest al­ lies in the war against weeds. July and August are busy months for the farmers, and it is during these months when the weather is usual­ ly hot and dry that the maximum damage can be done to weeds with the minimum of effort. July plowing and early after har­ vest cultivation is to be highly re­ commended. Hay fields Known to be dirty should be ploughed immediate after haying, the furrows left to bake out for 10 days or two weeks then cul­ tivated frequently as a .Summer Fal­ low and seeded to Fall wheat early in September. This so called dry cleaning method is very effective on Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion and other perennial weeds. Straight ,Summerfallow is also very effective, although somewhat more expensive. Late sown buckwheat followed the next year with rape or loots is a splendid method of check­ ing weeds. The cleanest farms in Ontario are operated by farmers who practise a short three or four year Crop rota­ tion, who are .particular in the use of clean, well graded seeds and Who practise thorough and adequate cul­ tivation methods.
