A striking. example of the effectiveness
of a machine,. in helping farmers operate
successfully under difficult conditions,. is
found in the One-Way Disc. Introduced
during the drought spell and period of
prices• for farm. products, it helped
farmers cut: down. their produCtion costs,.
thereby Leaving" them more margin
for profit.
It is little wonder- then that the One.
Way Disc• Seeder speedily became one
of the most popular machines on the
market; Preparing, the soil and sowing
the seed in' one operation, the One-Way
Disc Seeder saves, time and expense'.
Used as- a tillage. machine it destroys
weeds and leaves the land in a condition
to resist sod. drifting. In effect the Onei.
Way Disc offers the usefulness of two
machines at little more cost than the
price of one.
In design and construction the
MASSEY-HARRIS One-Way Disc offers
special advantages that appeal to users..
The sturdy frame ,construction, long
wear replaceable bearings, patented
stone jumper, easily adjusted direct draft
hitch, and quick action power lift are

The buts; of airplanes which for

its place a new Commando eourse for

all of the officers, who acted as ite-
stractore for the pilots in training,
have been posted elsewhere and only
a few of the ground crew, which num-
bered several hundred, have been kept
on the station. Many of them, who
have made their homes in Exeter,
have been posted out the last few

Takes Over Listowel Business

By Harry J. Boyle
I was reading in a newspaper the
other day about an exhibition of post-
war farm homes. The fellow writing
this article was complaining about the
designs, It seems as if these city
chaps who were designing the houses
had overlooked one thing. While they
concentrated on sun houses, heated
and lighted by the sun and a lot of
other new ideas, they completely over-
looked the cellar.
I agree with the writer, A farm
home just isn't complete without a
cellar. In this wonderful, new world
that the advertisements tell us about
we may live by turning steitches that
regulate the temperature and all that
. . but we must have cellars. A
cellar is just about the most important
thing in the world.
On these hot days of summer, the
cool sanctuary of a cellar is something
a person can really live for. Go down
the cellar ateps and feel that dampish
cool air and the clean, restful smell
of the earth that seems to cling around
a cellar. When, the sun gets a bit
too much for you, there's nothing like
an excuse to poke around and tinker
with something that needs repairing in
the cellar.
The cellar here at Lazy Meadows
has always been a good place. The
rows of preserve jars with the fruit
and pickles and jam are always worth
looking at. In the other corner we
have potatoes either the ones to
do for the early part of the winter
that are supplemented by ones taken
t of the pit in very early spring
- . - boxes of apples and sand in a
barrel with carrots stowed away.
Even the pile -of beach and maple
emote stored at one end of the cellar
for use in the furnace seems to give
a certain touch of something to the
place. It is another smell . . that
clean good smell of seasoned wood.
and pick it up. We have nectar of
the gods . . . a small barrel of apple
cider that gets a nip as the months
go by, The walls are gleaming white
at the moment with a fresh coat of
whitewash. That adds a clean look
and a clean smell to the whole place.
Grandmother used to have a wond-
erful cellar at her place. In a big
crock under the cellar steps she had
pickles the kind with a nippy tang
of vinegar and they had a brittleness
about them that was really good.
Grandpa was a great man for experi-
mentation with cider and various con-
coctions made_ from dandelions or
'chokecherries andeven rhubarb. Some
of it turned out to have about the
wallop of that high test gasoline they
use in airplanes, Those were the good
experiments and grandpa was always
flying high when an experiment turned
out well:

harm done by the warble fly. In
some district farmers are trying to
combat this pest and with some succeSs.
But until the Government makes erad-
ication of the warble fly compulsory
very little can be done. Symptoms
of hang's disease were discussed by
the speaker who stated that vaccina-
tion of all heifer calves by the age of
S months is the only cure for this dis-
ease. After this interesting and in-
formative talk Dr,„ McLennan answer-

WORLD 'WITHOUT WAR
The generation who are fighting this
war for us have in their memory a
World War 1, Some of them have
:only a dim recollection while others
do not remember this great struggle.
Both of these wars were fought for
the same purpose, to end wars. The
First Great War failed in its objec-
tive as Germany was left with a set
up that in :a 'eery short time was again
preparing for world cangaeet. Tine
should not happen again and it may
not as the German people this time
have felt the weight of war and have
suffered as they never have before.
Then the San Francisco conference,
which dosed last week has formulated
ed a charter which it is hoped will
prevent such struggles in the days that
lie ahead. This charter if followed in
Spirit, will give peace to the world.
