W.111 W//3 isn’t just marching behind a band and chest, isn’t a flash of fireworks one day of the year and then submerging your emotions the rest of the year. PATRIOTISM isn’t always found in the whooping of the crowd or maudlin flag-waving or surface sentiment­ alism. PATRIOTISM is the sum total of the three cardinal virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity. Faith in the prin­ ciples of our government, Hope in the future of de­ mocracy, Charity toward all and malice toward none. PATRIOTISM is a sincere affection for our awn family, devotion to our relatives and loyalty to our friends. Faithful to the “old home town” and pride in our native Province. PATRIOTISM is that spirit that makes us want to be of real help to our neighbors when they are in dis­ tress or meet with reverses, to extend our sympathy when they are stricken with grief. PATRIOTISM is the tugging at our heart-strings and a sincere kinship with those who toil ‘for a daily wage in field or shop or market place. PATRIOTISM is the emotion that makes a lump rise in our throat when some intrepid spirit strives to achieve something that no human being ever accomp­ lished before. PATRIOTISM is unashamed at the moisture that comes welling up in our tear-ducts with the passing of some great and noble soul who unselfishly devoted his life to the cause of mankind or in the service of our Nation. PATRIOTISM is loving ones country, respecting its traditions and honoring its people high or low, rich or poor. PATRIOTISM is the deep-rooted, quiet pride of fel­ lowship with a Nation of men and women who, by and large, have high ideals and who gladly and willingly respond to the demands on their time and ability over and above their regular line of duty when our country calls.

For Sale by By W. H. Johnston in the London Free Press Running roughly parallel to the east shore of Lake Huron and about six miles back from the lake in some places, from north to south in the County of Huron, is a sandy gravelly ridge with a rise of about 20 feet. Between the ridge and the lake lies a fertile level plain and the plateau above extends away to the east in another beautiful stretch of country 'but along the ridge l’or nearly half a mile wide the soil is light and in the early days was cov­ ered with a more or less dense growth'of hemlock, gome of these huge trees were over 400 years old as shown by the rings of growth. This dense growth of hemlock trees with their strong, wide branches made an ideal place for the establishment of rookeries by the enormous flocks of wood pigeons that came each spring. 20’s to the 70’s they woods for this purpose of a few years. In the of these huge rookeries was estab­ lished on the 12th concession of the Township of Ashfield in a large stretch of hemlock bush but the slaughter was so great and ruthless that they come no more are now extinct. Somewhere in the 80’s of lumber began to rise large block of hemlock forest was seen to have real good value. Thos. McKay, of the eighth concession of Ashfield, purchased 200 acres of it but his death soon afterward result­ ed in others taking it in hand. A sawmill, owned by James Grant, was erected and a lively hamlet came in­ to existence. It was honored with the name of Hemlock 'City and ow- j ing to the large amount of the fin­ est kind of lumber turned out, it became known far and wide. Thomas Henderson, an expert sawmill man for the Canadian Paci­ fic Railroad, when they were build- ling through the Rockies, was sawer and manager, giving fine satisfac­ tion and contributing not a little to the success of the enterprise. In fact, the forest, large as it had I :been, was cleared of all merchant- jable timber and it looked as though I Hemlock City’s sun had set; but no, ■ it was only hidden under a cloud. A new era appeared to be dawning for the farming community brought about by the organizaton of the Pat­ rons of Industry. Like the former Grange Society they aimed at secur­ ing needed supplies for the farmer at reduced prices and also with an enlarged ambition they hoped that in the political field they might elect enough members of the Legis­ lature to hold the balance of power. In North Huron and South Bruce they confined themselves to the 'financial part of their aim and for a time was quite successful. At Hem­ lock City a co-operative flour mill was established and equipped with stones for the grinding of the wheat. It had an enthusiastic start but its promoters did not know what they were up against. The roller mills were turning out a new, whiter and better flour thaix the stone mills could do and after one or two or more grists of flour were brought home, from the Hemlock City mill the farmers’ wives began to object. They could not make as light or as white bread as they could from the roller flour. The farmer reluctantly had to turn his back on his own mill and eat whiter bread. The lack of capital was another drawback. There were no funds to purchase extra supplies of wheat for a merchant trade in flour or for financial gains. Only meagre sup­ plies of feed were to 'be had there. Taking it all in all the mill had a slim chance to succeed and very soon the flour department was closed.

Name................................................................. (please print letters plainly) THE EFFECT OF SOIL EROSION Erosion is probably the greatest single factor causing loss of soil fer­ tility. A large percentage of the plant food in soil is present in the weathered surface layer, and may be permanently lost through the re­ moval of that layer by erosion. A familiar example may be observed in the loss of productiveness caused by the formation of gullies. The loss which accompanies the gradual, uni­ form removal of surface soil by sheet erosion may be less apparent than in gullying, but is no less real. The effect of sheet erosion in ducing soil fertility is clearly monstrated by the results of an periment which has been in progress for four years on the Central Experi­ mental Farm, Ottawa, states Wm. Dickson, of the Field Husbandry Division, in this experiment the ef­ fect of crop growth of varying de­ grees of erosion has been determin­ ed by growing barley on plots which different amounts of the surface soil has been removed. This dark sur­ face soil is approximately seven in. deep overlying soil. For the the experiment age yields per been secured from unfertilized no surface soil removed, 39.5 els; three inches of surface soil re­ moved, 32.7 bushels; six inches of surface soil removed, 18.0 bushels; and all surface soil removed, bushels. These results indicate that loss in productivity accompanying soil erosion has increased rapidly in proportion to the depth of surface soil removed, the productivity of ex­ posed subsoil being less than one- seventh that of undisturbed surface soil. re- de- ex- lighter colour sub- four-year period of the following acre of barley aver- have land, bush- 5.2 the In the same experiment, where fertilizer equivalent to 220 lbs. per acre of a 4-8-6 mixture was drilled in with the seed, the average yields of barley were as follows: no sur­ face soil removed, 52.4 bushels; 3 inches removed, 43.3 bushels; 6 in. removed, 28.2 bushels; all surface soil removed, 14.0 bushels per acre. It will be seen that the fertilizer used in this experiment has compensated in part only for the losses caused by erosion. Moreover, the fertilizer has been less effective in restoring productivity on completely eroded than on undisturbed soil, the cor­ responding increases in yield per acre being S.S and 12.9 bushels respec­ tively. The foregoing results suggest the importance of employing soil con- hay, and of soil having cultural prac- hay, and of soi having cutural prac­ tices, such as across the slope tillage wherever danger of erosion exists. The fertile layer of surface soil is the result of centuries of weathering and biological action, and its replace­ ment when lost may prove a slow and costly process.
