AT PEACE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS Last week Hon. Cordell Hull, Sec­ retary of State for the United States, was the guest of the Governor-Gen­ eral of Canada. His visit to Canada at this particular time brings to mind that on the thousands of miles of border line between Canada and the United States there are no defense preparations and that neither country has a system of forts or a standing army along its borders to protect one against the other, What a happy re­ lationship this is. Compare this con­ dition with the distrust the nations of Europe apparently have for each other. There the peoples are heavily .taxed so that large armies are ever ■ready for duty and the border lines •of all the countries are heavily forti­ fied from one end to the other. It surely is a l>e at peace with try. t ** ❖ wonderful thing to a neighboring coun- *5S EAST MEETS WEST The response this year throughout Eastern Canada for ‘food for the ■drought areas of the West, is a won­ derful thing. It is expected that near­ ly 800 carloads will be shipped to the dried-out areas of Saskatchewan. This practical demonstration of “Love thy neighbor” should do much to cement the' friendship of the people of West­ ern and Eastern Canada. In the dried-out areas of the West the people have had a very hard time for these past few years. How they •can continue to retain that optimism which always seems to prevail in the West is difficult -to comprehend. The large shipments this year of food pro­ ducts from the East should be of •great, assistance to them and should lielp any who are losing faith in their fellow man to restore that confidence. ‘The goods shipped West ar’e dis­ tributed by a Joint Committee of the Churches for Western Relief. This committee have a difficult task. The distribution will entail a tremendous amount of work and organization but the great effort it will take will be •done cheerfully and with care. The fact that their countrymen and wo­ men of the East have shown their •sympathy in •good for the the East. * a tangible manner is West and is good for * THERE IS ONLY ONE TAXPAYER Members of the Rowell Commis­ sion are p.ery busy with the organiza­ tion of their work.

The municipalit­ ies will, present their case for enlarg­ ed revenues. There will be plenty of •witnesses to urge that the Dominion’s taxing powers be not reduced.

Died of Injuries Kenneth Farrish, 24, Goderich, died in Kincardine Hospital, Wednesday last week from a fractured skull and other injuries suffered when he was* caught in the shaft of a gravel-crush­ ing machine in. operation at Lome, 7 miles north of Kincardine Tuesday. The accident took place at a gravel pit on the farm of James Robinson, where gravel is being removed for construction work on the Blue Water Highway between Tiverton and Kin­ cardine. Fhrrish was said to have had his clothes caught in the moving ma­ chine, into which he was drawn and badly mangled before it could be stopped. Eye Injured by Flying Chip Ernie, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Pletch, met with a very serious accident. While chopping wood, a chip flew up and struck him in the eye with such force as to punc­ ture the pupil. Ernie was rushed to Hanover, where a specialist perform­ ed an operation in an effort to save the sight. The boy is now in Walk­ erton Hospital where he will remain for some time. Little hope -is held that the unfortunate victim will have the sight of his injured pupil on re­ covery.—Teeswater News. 1 54 Years Married Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Asquith, Au­ burn, observed the '54th anniversary of their, wedding at their home in Auburn.’ Mr. Asquith was for many year an apple buyer and packer.

Nine years he retired from active business. ago Seaforth Plan Addition to Collegiate A $20,000 addition is planned to the Seaforth Collegiate building to provide accommodation for the new domestic science and manual training courses.

The addition will also include a gymnas­ ium and aduitorium, both, lacking in the present school, erected in 1879.

Canadian Eggs to Britain Exports of Canadian eggs to Great Britain inf the export season which started recently are expected to ag­ gregate in the neighborhood of one and one-quarter million dozen. The export season extends from the mid­ dle of September to the latter part of November and at the end of Sep­ tember about 9,000 Cases—3,240,000 eggs—had gone forward. The export trade at this season is made up of eggs laid in the spring which are held under Refrigeration unijil shipping date.

You’ll be surprised at the number of people who really want you to have a telephone, Many of them don’t even know you but they’re in­ terested nevertheless because of what your tele- ; phone means to their service. Too few tele- j phones curtails service and the' value of each | individual instrument as well. The more tele- .. phones in service, the greater the value to each ! user. From the/viewpoints of both service cost and service scope, every farmer is interested in seeing that every other farmer has a telephone. NEW LOW RATES for farm telephone service are now in effect! There has been little used, drought much better, and consider­ able seed from the first cutting of the 1037 crop has been harvested in Ontario. however, from second crop alfalfa. A fair crop of sweet clover seed is also in prospect. Timothy seed production is about normal and with the substantial carryover from last year there will be no shortage of seed of this kind. for this purpose recommended by the Provincial Fertilizer Boards are 0-12-6, 0-12-10, 0-12-15, 0-16-6, 0-16-10, 0-16-12, applied at the rate of at least 300 pounds per acre. It would be wasteful to apply a com­ plete fertilizer in the fall, that is, one containing nitrogen in addition to the phosphoric acid and potash, as most of the nitrogen would be lost by leeching or ammoniation before plant growth had started in the spring. Walkerton Couple 65 Years Married Mr. and Mrs. Paul Orteby, well- known residents of Walkerton, cele­ brated. their 65th wedding anniversary Wednesday,, their span of married life believed to be a record in this dis­ trict.

Storing Vegetables; i Keeping vegetables from the home garden for winter use is one‘way to save; those who have no gardens still save by buying fruits and vegetables at relatively lower prices in the fall and keeping them for later use when prices are higher. Good vegetables can be kept in good condition for a long time with the proper temperature and the right degree of humidity or moisture in the air. With few exceptions, vegetables keep best at a temperature of about 32 degrees Fahrenheit. ‘Root crops and leafy vegetables require a high degree of humidity. The best storage- conditions for the vegetables comnioWy stored may be summarized as follows: Cool and' moist: Beets, carrots, parsnips, salsify,. turnips, winter rad­ ishes and celery. Cool and moderately moist: Cab­ bage and potatoes. The atmosphere should be- moist, but not enough to allow accumulation of water in drops •Upon the' stored product. Cool and dry: Onions and dry beans. * Warm ahd dry: Squashes, pump­ kins and sweet potatoes. A dirt floor usually provides more moisture in the air than a concrete cellar floor, ahd sprinkling the cellar floor helps to provide enough mois­ ture in many cellars. • Before storing vegetables, sort out carefully and dis­ card any that are diseased or bruised. Fall Fertilizing, of Pastures The value of the application of fer­ tilizers in' the fall to pastures and alfalfa, and particularly to permanent pastures, is becoming mpre generally recognized. The fertilizers used for this.purpose, being composed of phos­ phates and potashes, dd not leech from winter snows and rains, and the plant food they supply is ready to give the desired results with the first growth in the spring. Further, the fall application is a saving of time in the spring when so many other farm operations demand attention, The application' may be made either be­ fore or after the freeze up. The specialy balanced fertilizers The busybodies who are always wanting to tax something which has not been taxed before (and of course, something which they have not got) are now suggesting a tax on peram­ bulators. ’ If anything, more is heard of this, all the babies of ’Canada will be up in arms!
