We left on August 5th and drove through Quebec round the Gaspe, across New Brunswick and Nova Scotia calling at St. John, Frederic­ ton and Halifax, then crossed to Prince Edward Island where we vis­ ited Summerside and Charlotte­ town. We returned by Maine, New WINCHEL5EA Mr. and Mrs. Mervin Pym and family spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John Prance. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bradshaw and David, of Elimville, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Horace Delbridge. Miss Alma Lawrence, of Seaforth spent a couple of days last week with Miss Ethel Pooley. Mr. Leslie and Miss Ella Robin­ son, of near Thames Road, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood Brock. Miss Betty Delbridge, of St. Marys, spent last week with Miss Gladys Batten. Miss Ella Francis, Misses Ethel and Dorothy Pooley and Miss Kath­ ryn Batten spent the week-end at Turnbull’s Grove. Mr. George Jaques, of Exeter, called on his sister, Mrs. Frank Brock, on Sunday. Mr. .and Mrs. H. Bailey spent Sunday with their daughter Mrs. A. Collier, of Kirkton. Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Johns visit­ ed on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. P. Passmore, of Thames Road. Quite a number from this com­ munity attended the decoration ser­ vice held in Zion cemetery on Sun­ day. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Delbridge and Jackie, of St. Marys, visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Batten. Hampshire, Vermont and New York, crossed Lake Champlain and spent some time at Lake Placid, that fam­ ed resort. We returned to Canada by the Lewiston-Queenston bridge and vis­ ited the Falls which that day was thronged with tourists. Because of a previous visit to Montreal and Quebec we hastened to round the Gaspe which took the greater part of two days. The road lound this drive is good, but rather hilly in places. Some grades were over a mile in length and the curv­ es round projecting and overhanging cliffs made the drive rather excit­ ing. Here we saw ox-teams, dog­ carts, crude implements, displays of home made mats and quilts offered for sale and Indian handiwork. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were rather disappointing to us in that we expected to see up-to-date farms, but instead along the sections crossed bush lands prevailed and the settlers were busy cutting, barking and hauling the pulp wood. At Moncton we heard the roar of the Tidal Bore as it moved up the river passed our cabins after night. The encamped motorists turned on their car lights but these shone above the white wall as it passed. The Reversible Falls on the St. John River was quite interesting. The tidal water as it rose, drove back the flow of the river for hours, then when the tide receded the rush of the river moved seaward. Near THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE WHALEN Miss Adelaide Parkinson, of Gran­ ton, is spending a few weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Parkinson. Mr. and Mrs. H.

TestedJFtecipes SOUFFLES THAT DON’T FLOR There is one member of a lunch­ eon party which should never sit down. It’s very embarrassing to the hostess when her guests are seated at the table, to have the main dish, the souffle, not only sit down but fall flat on its face. But as wise cooks know, this need never hap­ pen. So if in the past you have hesitated to make a souffle because it might fall, try this delicious recipe and banish that bogey forever. The addition of quick-cooking tapioca to the souffle will keep it high and handsome all the way through, This salmon souffle is ideal tor a summer luncheon, It is easy to make and has a delightful flavour. A light salad and a simple dessert are suggested to complete the luncheon. Mr. W. J. Veal was removed to St. Joseph' Hospital, London on Sat­ urday of last week and at the time of writing is in a critical condition.

Barns Burned Near Lakeside Two barns and a shed on the farm of Gordon Gregory, three miles north of Lakeside, in East Nissouri, together with the season’s crop of grain were destroyed by fire Sunday night. Burned were 2,500 bushels of grain and 40 tons of hay. The loss is estimated at $16,000. There are three main activities in connection with the work of Prairie Farm Rehabilitation: cultural work, land utilization and water conserva­ tion. 'Cultural work, directed prin­ cipally by the Dominion Experimen­ tal Farms, deals with the control and prevention of soil drifting and sound farm practices suited to the drought area, Land utilization has to do with resettlement based upon a soil survey. One of the principal fea­ tures of land utilization has been the establishment of community pastures on shbmargina] lands. Water con­ ervation or development takes care of large and small irrigation pro­ jects and stock-watering dams and dugouts for retaining the spring runoff of snow on farms.

Painful Boils Bad Blood the Cause When boils start to break out on different parts of the body it is ah evidence that the blood is loaded up with impurities. Just when you think you are rid of one, another crops up to take its place and prolong your misery. All the lancing and poulticing you may do will not stop more coming. Why not give that old, reliable, blood purifying medicine Burdock Blood Bitters a chance to banish the boils? Thousands have used it for this purpose during the past 60 years. Take B.B.B. and get rid of the bad blood and the boils too* Th« T, Milbtim Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont. Moncton we visited the Magnetic Hill. Out on a country road, five miles from the city, wTe saw strange behaviour of automobiles. The hill is about 25 rods long and about 20 degrees slope. Autos standing at the bottom with motors shut off and brakes released back up the hill to the top propelled by some inexplain- able force apparently underground. On the opposite face of this hill cars stall in high gear and lag even in low. A stream of water along tho edge of this slope runs up hill to the peak where it crosses the high­ way under the roadbed. Even ped­ estrians attempting to walk down the hill find some force holding them back, but going up are propel­ led to a swifter gait though stag­ gering. ISeveral, skeptics, like our­ selves, tried these experiments a number of times, both backing up and running forward and left the spot convinced that it was not optic­ al illusion. We called at and were guided about the citadels of Quebec and Halifax and visited the many towers and monuments along the way. We were shown through a lobster can­ nery at Shediac and a fishing estab­ lishment at Liverpool where we saw rooms 256 feet by 20 feet by 12 feet at temperatures ranging from freezing to 10 degrees below zero packed with tiers of frozen fish ready for shipment. Here, too, we saw a tuna weighing 35.0 pounds with head and tail severed. We were told some are caught which weigh 700 to 800 pounds. At an­ other place we saw cod being cured for shipment and were given first­ hand information of that industry. The Annapolis Valley, with its apple orchards, presented a sight to be remembered. The old trees were loaded to the breaking point with fruit and along the highway were numerous stands where purchases of the early varieties could be ’made. The land of Evangeline at Grand Pre lies along this valley. There we saw the old well, the cemetery and the replaced church, now a museum. At Annapolis Royal the remains of the first Acadian settle­ ment and the old Fort were viewed. Prince Edward Island made us think of home. Here the farms, with larger fields of grain and hay, are laid out as in Ontario. Numer­ ous fox farms were seen as We drove along. The four Parliament Buildings were of interest to us and guides showed us the seats occupied by the King and Queen, their signatures, even the pens used specially on that occasion. We were fortunate to arrive at the Malton Airport to see a Trans­ Canada airplane being refueled and take off. At Sheriac, N.B. also, we saw the Dixie Clipper arrive, take on passengers and take off bound for Europe. The few hours we spent at the Ralls convinced us that we have near home an attraction. unsurpas­ sed for its beauty. We have now driven across Canada from Ocean to Ocean and have seen many beauty spots—-the West is scenic, the East historic. G, S.

The only thing is to decide which kind of meat and what other vege­ table so that meals become almost routine. Why not break the mono­ tony of such meals and as a start, think of fish instead of meat? There is such a wide variety of fish available to the Canadian housewife at all times that it can be served frequently and not grow tiresome. And then there are so many ways of serving it, such delicious garnishes to accompany it that a whole new field of culinary exploration is open­ ed up. As the next step in getting away from routine, serve a salad or cole slaw instead of cooking a veg­ etable. That is a particularly ap­ propriate step at this time of the year. As for desserts there is no reason to be in a rut there, hut if you are, the recipe below will please you. With this suggester menu, say good-bye to boredom and start a new dinner table menu. There is nothing elaborate or difficult to pre­ pare,—it’s just a change for the bet­ ter.

Beer Exeter, Ontario The Weed of the Week......Bindweed Bindweed is the most difficult of all Ontario weeds to eradicate once it becomes established in a field, says J. D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart- ’ment of Agriculture. Probably no ‘other weed threatens the farmers of Ontario with such loss as Bindweed does. It even puts Perennial Sow Thistle in second place, though the weeds are not spread far and wide by the find as in the case with the thistle. No crop will grow once Bindweed is well established. It will thrive on almost all kinds soil and neither wet or dry seasons seem to affect its growth. Its root system is so deep and so extensive and gets such a hold upon the land that nothing less than • a strenuous and determined effort i will ever eradicate it. Some farms in Ontario have already been aban­ doned on account of this weed. Bindweed has increased rapidly the last few years, chiefly owing to the fact that farmers are not familar enough with it and so do not recog­ nize it in time to prevent it from get­ ting established here and there in their field in patches from which its roots are soon scattered all over the field by farm implements such as the harrow and cultivator. One reason the farmer does not spot it when it first appears in his fields is because it usually takes two or three years to come into blossom. It is impor­ tant, therefore, to be familial' with its leaves and roots, as well as with its flowers. This most troublesome perennial weed, which came here from Europe, has very extensive, creeping, cord­ like rootstocks which penetrate the soil to a depth of four feet or more, and any piece of rootstock possess­ ing one or more buds is capable of starting a new plant. It has num­ erous, slender branching stems that either trail on the ground or climb by twisting around other plants. The leaves are rather small somewhat arrow shaped with blunt or rounded tips. It flowers from June to Septembei' and produces seeds from August to October. The flowers are borne on slender stalks, about the length of the leaves. They are bell shaped, i white or rose colored and about an j inch across. The seeds are large, j brown, angular, three or four being : produced in each spherical seed pod. 1 Farmers should insist that thresh- iing separators should be thoroughly j cleared before operating. They may contain Bindweed seed. Patches of Bindweed should be isolated from the rest of the field and worked separately to avoid dragging the rootstocks on imple­ ment teeth from infested to non-in- fested areas. It is usually advis­ able to destroy patches of Bindweed with a chemical weed killer, and thus avoid the risk of spreading it by cul- [ tivation. Many farmers stop fighting Bind­ weed t-oo soon, When they have kill­ ed ninety percent of the rootstocks they forget about it and leave the remaining ten per cent, to start fur­ ther trouble. It is usually advisable to follow a two years’ summer fallow by seed­ ing down to clover, preferably alfal­ fa, and leave the sod in as long as profitable. This builds up the soil, and the cutting of the alfalfa crop two or three times each year will pre­ vent the ’Bindweed seeds from ma­ turing and its rootstocks from spreading. “Which of these two men is the bridegroom?” “The anxious-looking one — the cheerful one is the bride’s father.” The area under the provisions oi the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act covers approximately 105 million acres of land in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta Within this area there are about 47,000,000 acres of improved farm land, represening about 55 per cent of the total improved acreage or farm land in Canada. In addition the area contains 27,000,000 acres of natural pastunpe land.

TURNIP CROPS MOVE TO STATES First shipments of the 1939 turnip crop will leave Exeter, Lucan and Lambeth for United States markets this week, J. J. Johnson, Dominion fruit and vegetable inspector for this district, reported. This section of Western Ontario will be able to provide a larger crop this year to fill the requirements of U. S. buyers due to considerably increased acreage. Acreage of the Ontario crop, the inspector said, will be approximately the same as last year. Growers are optimistic over pros­ pects of this year’s crop. The quality of turnips generally is higher than in previous seasons and in increasing demand for Ontario table turnips across the line indicates prices will be firm again this year. Mr, Johnson estimated that 1,500,- 000 bushels of “rutabagas” will be exported from Western Ontario to the United States during the 1939- 40 season, Blyth and Wingham, in Huron County, will be in the field this year with new turnip-waxing plants. Waxing operations will commence within the next month. The waxing process has come into increased prominence during the past three years for export shipments.
