Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Toronto. When roadside weeds are neglect ed, farmers who are making an effort to maintain farms free of weeds be come discouraged and the public in general lose faith in rural Ontario as a producer of agricultural products of high quality, states John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto. It; should be remembered that weeds on roadsides will mature seed which may result in an infestation of adjoining farm land; will spread plant diseases; will prove dangerous to traf fic; will gather and hold snow; will clog ditches on roadsides and thus hinder the flow of water and proper drainage of the road bed; will prove dangerous from a fire standpoint; are unsightly to residents and to tourists. Many Municipal Councils have ask ed ratepayers in the interests of econ omy to prevent weeds from maturing seed on roadsides adjoining their pro perty. Such work should be consid ered as a war measure and should re ceive the consideration and support of every property owner, Mr. MacLeod declares. A clean attractive roadside is an ad vertisement for adjoining farms, he points out, and may be considered as : being the show window of the farm. The removal of old fences and fence bottoms, eradication of weeds and j brush, removal of stumps and stones, j and plowing, levelling, and seeding i down of.roadsides is suggested as be- By following this plan, the appear ance of one’s property will be improv- the bride travelling in a -rust tweed • coat with matching accessories.

That’s what I though when I read it, but after due consideration I’ve come to the con clusion that it really is a problem. My father always used to say: “There are two kinds of hired men— the washed . . . and the unwashed.” Mother weeded out the unwashed ones, however, at the end of the first week. On Saturday evening she would look up from the supper table and say "We always take a bath in the wood shed on Saturday evening.” She would watch his face quite closely, and if his expression showed a genu ine interest in the removal of the ac- cuiigulated dust of a deek, she would continue by saying, "I’ll leave a towel out for you.” If he just mumbled something and went on eating, she wouldn’t say any more except to send One of her meafiiiig lodlts dt Fatlieft The new hired” man would! be 'paid his weeW’wagids, taken into-town and Fatheij Would start looking for a new - on Music by Florence Sauer BANDS PARTICIPATING TEESWATER, BLYTH, BRUSSELS, HEN- SALL, LUCKNOW PIPE, WINGHAM.

Mother nev er would tolerate an “unwashed” hired man. But this question of feet bathing was always a ticklish one. I’ll always remember “Pinky” as we called him. He had a girl on the next concession and made a regular Wednesday even ink visit to see her. After supper he would repair to the woodshed with the wash basin and we younger mem bers would sit around in fascination as he removed a coating of sweat and dust from his feet. We were reward ed by sight of his big to.e, which he once had broken when a horse step ped on it. He could wriggle and con tort it into the strangest positions. Each of us vowed that when we grexy up, we would arrange to have a sim ilar operation performed by one of the horses in the stable. This washing of the feet always seemed like a sacred duty with the hired men, It seems like yesterday since one of our hired men shocked Mother terribly. We had a visit from the clergyman and everyone was sit ting on the front lawn enjoying the evening breeze when he appeared in the front door in his bare feet and carrying a towel and a basin of wat er. Sitting down on the steps he calm ly planted his feet in the basin for soaking and joined in the conversa tion. Mother was mortified into sil ence as the party shifted from wind ward to leeward of the basin. Still another hired man had corns. He wrote to companies in all parts of the country for corn-cures, and in dulged each evening in a “foot soak ing and corn-paring” spree. It seem ed that every time we had company, one of the visitors would have to men tion something about their feet. The 4‘ hired man would immediately start and lecture on the care of the feet, and.,he generally concluded .by start ing to take off his boot to illustrate his -lecture. Father always managed to find some errand for him at the barn. One of the last hired men we had when I was a boy was very shy; The usual question Mother asked him if he was •’going away any evening was: "Would-you like to wash your feet?” He would always say “I washed them last night.” We never did know? where he washed them until one even ing father came upon him dousing his- feet in the horse trough and drying them with a clean seed bag. Father,, being quite the diplomat, didn’t men tion it, saying to Mother, '“It’s better to have him washing them down there , than splashing around the; kitchen.” I guess it’s an age-old problem that will always be with us on the farm, this washing of the hireman’s feet’ ROUND TRIP Bargain Fares OCTOBER 4 - 5 WINGHAM TO TORONTO........$3.05 Hamilton............ $3.05 Chatham................$7.55 London................ $5.90 Oshawa ............>. $3.90 Peterboro . .............$5.00 Smith’s Falls .... $8.25 Going: Afternoon a(nd Evening trains Oct. 4-5.
