SCHOOL FAIRS CANCELLED A few weeks ago we made mention in this column that it was with regret that we noticed the Minister of Agri culture was about to announce the, cancelling of school fairs. Since that, definite word has been received that there will be no such fairs sponsored by the Ontario government this year, These fair in the community have geen built up to be about the best in the province if not the best. It is said that Belgrave fair is the largest in the province. To let these fairs pass out of existence for the time being is not for 'the gopd of our community, so we hope that. jthe directors of the school fairs in this community will try and interest the townships in their areas to assist them in great measure than before to carry on this important work, in order that the fairs may be held tins year. * ♦ * * ELECTION DRAWING CLOSE One can hardly realize that the el ection is less than two weeks away.

However, since then the war has de veloped and little was thought of the 85,000-ton liner that was being work ed on m the Clyde. Then like a bolt from the blue came the announcement that she was almost in New York har bour where she will spend the balance of the war days in the peaceful sur roundings of that great harbour. The boat was navigated across the Atlan tic by a comparatively small crew. The secrecy with which she sailed and the fact that she crossed the ocean unknown to the world speaks well of the plans made and the way those “in the know” kept their counsel. It was a brave thing to take this $30,000,000 beauty out into sub-infested waters. But the British are like that. It was the thing to do, so it was done. IM DISTRICT WHAT CANADA SAYS ABOUT OUR CANDIDATE “I ran into Air, Deachman’s speech in going over Hansard and I have read it twice since. In fact, I have used a good part of it in my mag azine. I want to say that it was one of (he finest addresses on agriculture that I have ever read or heard and I propose to make very considerable use of it in my work, strictly non-partisan and strictly farmer movement." Chas. A. Hayden, Editor “Country Life in ’B. C.” “I would appreciate very much your giving me the information as to how you arrived at your figures on farm income. I would be glad to use it In our brief to the Royal Cmnmissfon on transportation. Having already had it presented to the House of Commons would add consider able weight,” H. H. Hannam, United Farmers of Ontario.

Deachman, member for North Huron, is one of Canada’s outstanding authorities on econ omics. He is an ardent low tariff advocate who has read widely on all questions of vital interest in the days which lie ahead. Mr. Deachman has been one of the most efficient members of the Banking and Commerce Committee of the House of Commons where upstart economists delight to air their un workable monetary theories and where the restrain ing hand of knowledge skilfully and conservatively handled is invaluable.” Editorial, Chesley Enterprise.

Accident Victim Awarded $950 In Supreme Court at Goderich, Jus* The use of superphosphate in barn stable gutters is a practice to be gen erally recommended, says the Advis ory Fertilizer Board of Ontario. Since manure is low in phosphate in pro portion to its content of nitrogen and potash, and since phosphate deficien cy is general in Ontario soils, rein forcement with twenty per cent sup erphosphate makes a better-balanced and more valuable manure. In addition, the use of 20% super- phophate in the gutters aids in pre venting the loss of nitrogen in the form of ammonia, and improves stable Sanitation, arid assists in retaining li quid manure. In the dairy’barn, one-half pound of superphosphate spread in the gutter behind each animal each day, or after cleaning the Stable, is satisfactory. In the horse stable the application is best made just before cleaning the stable.
