Spring grains are going to be short in stalk there and a report of an outbreak of army Worm in wheat fields and meadows has been received.

Crops are looking fine in Oxford, with wheat beginning to turn and showing a good stand. Corn and root crops are com ing along well under favorable grow ing conditions. Earlier varieties of oats are well out in head in Went worth and are of fair height. The strawberry crop there has been very light and the price firm, The yield from canning peas will be below average in Hastings. There is a much higher percentage of clover this year than last in the Muskoka and Parry Sound district. Prince Ed ward County enjoyed rains which were badly needed, in fact most of Eastern Ontario profited by an abun dance of moisture which fell two days in early July. The strawberry crop in Lennox and Addington dropped off very short at the last, with prices holding around 10 cents per box. Prospects for peas in that county do not look too good owing to dry wea ther. The hay crop in Renfrew was the heaviest on record, alfalfa and red clover on many farms running from’ 3.4 tons per acre. Two heavy rains greatly revived crops of spring grains on light fields and heavy clay, where the crops were suffering from lack of moisture. and take they are they can IN MEMORIAM • • pt EDGAR—In. loving memory of my dear husband and father, William - C.

News and Information For The Busy Farmer Garden Slug Control Garden slugs are frequently num erous on heavy land where they do considerable damage to beans, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower and similar crops. Like other pests, slugs can be more easily controlled if remedial measures are used when the animals are small and few in number. To control them the .infested plants (and the slugs) should be dusted with hydrated lime in the evening when the sun has gone. down $md .feeding has commenced. Care should be taker! to cover the Up per and lower surfaces of the leaves and the soil immediately surrounding the plants. Hydrated lime is effective only when in the form of a light, dry powder, < • ■ Lime becomes hard when subject ed to moisture and in that condition is non-injurious to the slugs. For this reason, a few light applications of lime at intervals of three or four days thereto, having regard only to claims are much more effective than one f n I 4- tn yv tn 1 - .

Another method of con trol frequently recommended is to spray the infested plants thoroughly with Bordeau mixture. This material is repellent to slugs, and if the foli age of the plants is ^completely cov ered by the mixture, the slugs will confine their attention to weeds grow ing in the field. Current Crop Report Haying operations have been com pleted over a considerable section of the province, with reports of good quality hay being general. Prospects in Halton county for an alfalfa seed crop are practically negligible and most alfalfa will be cut for hay. Al- silke however is filling out well. A much-improved quality of hay Is not ed in Haldimand, where grain crops are also doing well. The alsike acre age being left for seed there is much above normal, almost equal to that of 1D2U, The red clover acreage is also quite large there. Lambton reports its corn crop well-advanced.and showing a good growth.

Acid Indigestion, Colds, Headaches, Bilious Attacks, Constipation OFTEN START THIS WAY Some people are what are known as acid-makers. They can’t help it—-end ojten they don't know it. The results of an excess of acid may jeew: just like ordinary stomach trouble >— but they can’t be put right by ordinary stomach remedies’. Excess acid may be the reason why you wake up flat, sour, bleary-eyed, bilious — and the reason why fierce purgatives only leaye you in the grip of a weakening habit and the same old symptoms. But there’s one thing that acid can’t face. That’s the neutralizing power of Vange Salts, the alkaline remedy with the natural mineral spa action. A tea spoonful in warm water surges through your, system just like the medicinal spring water far away in England where Vange Salts come from. Excess acid is neutralized quickly, painlessly, Your blood is purified of poisons. Your sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines is softened gently, naturally, and passed out of yoiir body. Then do you feel good! It’s marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Salts are only 60 cents a tin! At your, drug gist now—-but if you’re wise, on your bathroom shelf tonight! and one At and During the financial panic a farm er went to the bank for some money. He was told the bank was not paying out money but was using cashier’s checks. He could not understand this insisted on money. The officers took him in hand, after another, with little effect, last the president tried his hand, after a long and minute explanation some inkling of the situation seemed to be dawning on the farmer’s mind. Much encouraged, the president said: “You understand now how it is, don’t you?” “I think I do,’ ’admitted the farm er. “It’s like this: When my baby wakes up at night and wants some mjlk, I give him a milk ticket.” The lawyer for the defendant was waxing 'eloquent. Everyone hung pn his words. “Gentlemen of the jury,” he said, “I ask you, where could the prisoner have hidden the ring? The arresting officer has told you he searched the man. The rin^ was not in his pock ets; not in his shoes—no, not in his clothes. Then where was it hidden?” - As he paused for the dramatic ef fect of his words, the prisoner spoke up. “Please, boss, I put it in my hat.” Special Commercial Course WINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL offers a comnicrcial course for students who have taken two years of high school work.

REBELS* GREAT OFFENSIVE SUMMONED TO INQUEST “What’s your name?” the grocery store manager asked the young ap plicant for a job. “Scott,” replied the lad. “And your first name?” “Walter.” “That’s a pretty well known name,” remarked the manager, With a smile. Tlie boy looked pleased. “It ought to be,” he replied. “I’ve been delivering groceries around here for two years,” ALCAHIZ » p/XlH I Poultry “To avoid possible congestion on the poultry market during the pres ent year it is advisable that poultry producers should market a portiop^tff their .chickens at between three and five pounds dressed weight particular care to see that fattened before sale so that be exported if necessary.” This was the conclusion arrived at by a widely representative meeting convened under the auspices of the Poultry industries Committee of On tario to consider-steps to be taken to handle the 3,938 crop of dressed poul try. Last year the American market took upwards of six million pounds of Canadian poultry. This year it ap pears that this amount will be very materially curtailed on account of lower prices, » /-■:%; * Notwithstanding the lower prices on the American market this year; a good deal of confidence was express ed that, with the small stocks of poul try in storage this year and the fav ourable outlook on the British mar ket, there is an outlet to take care of all the well finished poultry Canadian producers have to offer. Canadian chicken, as result of previous exports, is in good demand on the British market and prices there are higher than they have been for many years. To bring the best prices poultry has to be well fleshed and fattened to the point of grading Milk fed A or Milkfed B. It was pointed out that a substantial premium is offered byjhe trade for well finished chick ens. With feed costing less this sea son it appears that it will be more profitable than eyer for producers to properly finish their chickens. The best demand on the export market is for a medium weight chick en. It was felt th$t it would be ad visable to market as many cockerels as possible at a dressed weight of three to five pounds. .Producers pre sent at the meeting said this could be done with good finish on the birds, by keeping them on full feed until they reached the desired weight. Translated in terms of the individ ual producer’s operations, the mar keting of a certain percentage of his chickens at export weights is a form of insurance of the balance of his crop.

Each gathering should be placed in the coolest part of the cellar if no other cool spot is available, as soon as gathered. Eggs should not be put into cartons or cases immediately if this can be avoided. The ideal con tainer for cooling eggs is a wire tray. A wire basket is the next best, and perhaps the most practical.
