More than 150 lawyers from
•al] parts .of Western Ontario met
in London Saturday for a special
series of lectures on the prob
lems in counselling small busi
ness men.
The lectures, given by six legal
and financial experts, are part
of a unique legal education pro
ject ^sponsored by The Law So
ciety of Upper Canada and the
Ontario Section of the Canadian
Bar Association.
The project developed from a
regular series of spring lectures,
designed to keep Ontario lawyers
up-to-date in specialized aspects
of law, sponsored in Toronto for
the last five years by The Law
Society. This year, for the first
time, lectures are being held In
Ottawa and London as well as
Toronto — to permit wider par
ticipation by members of the le
gal profession — and are being
sponsored jointly by The Law
Society and the Canadian Bar
Association. »
Among those attending the lec
tures were Elmer D. Bell, Q.C.;
and C. V. Laughton, of Exeter.

Drilling and fertilizing speed and efficiency hit a new high
when you use a John Deere-Van Brunt Model "FB" Grain Drill.
With a Model "FB" you make planting and fertilizing one
speedy, low-cost job . . . drill accurately and distribute ferti
lizer in the rows at speeds up to six miles per hour!
Automotive-type wheels and Timken tapered roller bearings
make possible this smoother, faster travel. Low-wheel construc
tion provides a shorter seed drop for more uniform placement
of seed. Adjustable-gate fluted force-feeds operate with un
failing accuracy. Jackknife spring pressure on the furrow
dpeners assures even drilling depth in depressions and over
ridges. Star feeds distribute from 24 to 1,680 pounds of com
mercial fertilizer per acre. See us for complete information.

reports sent in. In Lambton
County, where there was only
one forum a few years ago, there
are now 57.
Mr. Waite gave suggestions on
conducting forum meetings and

The lumberjacks and laborers,
who harvested the minerals of
our country, needed a better way
to spend their spare time and a
definite goal in life. They started
to study minerology. A TdTonto
professor came to help and they
studied history and poetry after
the day’s work. So- men from the
universities were challenged to
come and share their educational
benefits and this started the
labor-teacher .movement.
Mr, Waite said there is a high
degree of illiteracy in Newfound
land. There are poor schools,
poorly paid and poorly trained
teachers. These labour-teachers
help here, with study at night.
He told of work among the
new Canadians and • their pride
when they learn to write their
own names instead of placing an
"X” on their cheques. 1-Ie told

By D. I. HOOPERSeed Act
Protects
Farmers
All seed trading in Canada
comes under the Federal Seed
Act. This legislation was estab
lished for two main puroses:
1. To protect the purchaser
of seeds from unscrupulous seed
peddlers or dealers and thereby
assure -the purchaser .that he ac
tually receives goods as shown
on his invoice.
2. To protect the seed trade
as a whole, and to put the seed
business on a strict set of uni
form standards for inter - pro
vincial or inter-national trading.
The Act stipulates the germ
ination and purity of all grades
of seed sold in Canada either
singly or in mixtures; and the
Government employs a force of
inspectors to oversee and enforce
the Act to the mutual benefit of
buyer and seller. The Govern
ment has also established Seed
Testing Laboratories across Can
ada, to ensure just and efficient
standards and grades
available to the public
ral use.
The enforcement of
combined with the cost
lishing and manning the regional
offices and laboratories is for
one purpose, only; to ensure the
Canadian consumer that when
■he buys Grade No. 1 Seed, he
actually receives it.
.Since this Act became law
many years ago, the benefits of
its protection have been tre
mendous to the Canadian farm
er.
In all things controlled by
individuals, however, there are
people who try to circumvent
the law. The most common in
fractions of the Seed Act are

ling of ungraded seed through
