This commanding importance is in reality the outcome of one of the most (progressive and encouraging movements of modern times, name­ ly, farm dub organization for girls and boys. Officially known as “Boys’ and Girls’ Farm Club work in Canada.” the movement is de­ signed to develop interest in the farm and farm life; to provide a practical ^education in agriculture and home economics; to improve farm practices; to encourage the use nf better livestock and seed; and to train young people for citi­ zenship in their respective districts. 40) and water, to which has been added a small amount of laundry soap is the easiest and best method of control. In small amounts, two teaspoonfuls of nicotine should be used in a gallon of soap water. For larger amounts, nicotine should be used at the rate of %ths of a ipint to 40‘ galons of water with two to three pounds of soap added. The material should be applied on a hot, calm day, drenching both upper and lower surfaces of the leaves so as to actually hit all the insects.. In .protecting field -crops, at least 100 gallons of the spray should be used per acre at each application. Two or three applications at week­ ly intervals will be necessay for complete control. In buying nico­ tine sulphate in quantity, large con­ tainers should be purchased in pre­ ference to a number of small bottles or cans, because the cost is much reduced by buying in lots.

Stewart, Osgoode, Ont, when more than 30 0 representative sheep farmers accompanied by their wives and women folk were in attendance. The meeting was also a remarkable tribute to the keenness of the sheep breeders and the farmers interested in sheep from the fact that they ga­ thered in full force from the coun­ ties of Eastern Ontario and West­ ern Quebec to set their official seal on the newly formed Ottawa Valley Sheep Breeders’ Association by electing their first officers. Thus the first field day was the first an­ nual general meeting of the assoc­ iation. The society intends to play important phases of eloping a cities of other towns in the Ottawa Valley. The objects of the Associaticn also include help in the development of better facilities for marketing wool, lambs and purebred stock. The ■Ottawa Valley district is particu­ larly well -suited to the (raising of sheep, including the production of good quality wool and choice com­ mercial An example of super-salesmanship was given by Wm. Sweitzer, former warden of Huron County, when, on the strength of “what might have been,” he sold a $5,000 life insurance policy to John Regier, of Crediton, while they awaited a traffic officer beside their wrecked a-utos after crashing. By the time County Of­ ficer Lever arrived, the enthusias­ tic salesman was working on a sec­ ond prospect with the cheerful view “Look what happened to us; how are you fixed?” Unfortunately the officer* interuipted the second sales talk.—Goderich Star.

Net result of the day’s drive was two air guns. They seemed to disappear as if by magic after the first seizure. lambs. Crop Conditions latest crop report prepared Statistics Branch shows that The by the field crops generally in Old Ontario made phenomenal growth in the month of June. An abundance of moisture and fairly cool weather provided the best growing condi­ tions experienced in years. Fall wheat and fall rye, hay and clover, spring grains and pastures grew very rapidly. Fall wheat is now ripen­ ing Western Ontario and in the more southerly part harvesting will commence within a very few days. Bumper yields will be obtained on most fields, but lodging has reduc­ ed the yield somewhat on some stands. Spring grains have devel­ oped so rapidly in most of Centra'l and Southwestern Ontario as to completely offset the extreme late­ ness of seeding. Early oats and barley promise excellent yields. In Eastern Ontario spring grains have made good growth but are still below aevrage. In Lake Counties frequent rains have interfered with haying operations and made curing diffi­ cult. As a result a considerable quantity of hay in this section will be of inferior quality. Weeds are the worst in years as late seeding and wet conditions of the soil have prevented cultivating. However crop conditions on the whole are quite promising in Old Ontario. In the major portions of Northern On­ tario the weather since seeding has been too dry for satisfactory growth The hay crop is especially poor and spring grains are backward and need rain for continued development. Grasshoppers are .causing consider­ able damage in sections of Sudbury, Algoma and Manitoulin and appli­ cation^ of poison bran have been necessary.
