The stand in the test acre was perfect with no wireworm damage, while the balance of the field was badly infested. BENESAN increased yield by 34 bushels an acre, which gave me a 60% increase in crop value." BENESAN SEED TREATMENT far Cereal Grains—Corn—Beans BENESAN is applied by ordinary seed treating methods. An "eradication" treatment of 2 oz. per acre to seed grain reduces wireworm damage by as much as 90%, and wire worms are unlikely to cause significant damage for several years.

Thankoffering The special Easter Thanisoffering meeting of the W.M.S. Auxiliary of Knox Presbyterian Church, was held at the home of Mrs, Art Scott and was well attended. Mrs. R. J. Scott pre- sided and opened the meeting with a call to worship, The Easter hymn "Look Ye Saints, the Sight is Glor- ious," was sung and was followed by the business period. Several matters came up for discusion, and an invita- tion from the Blyth Auxiliary, to at- County Federation of Agriculture, we have been pleased I tend their Thankoffering meeting was to find that there is less of the •violent denunciation of ' accepted with pleasure.

There is no type of advertising known which will take the place of that appearance of tidi- rtess and trim beauty one sees in an up-and-coming town. Strangely enough the willingness to cean up and im- prove will spread its influence even to those who are by !nature lazy, for they begin to feel self-conscious in their `Oin,?,-y surroundings after the neighbors have laid out their plower beds and painted the garden fence. We don't suggest that Wingham residents are drastic- Llly in need of reminders about this sort of thing—but nevertheless it is a good thought to keep in mind. Visitors to our town will judge the place entirely by its appearance. Red Shield Campaign Merits Support The Red Shield Campaign, the annual drive fur funds on the part of the national body of the Salvation Army, mill open at the first of May. in Wingham the Kinsmen will have charge of the campaign and it might be well to speak at word in advance about the work. hardly ever stop to think of the tasks which the Army an- ilertakes. Only a few weeks ago the writer was privileged to hear Capt. Henry DeVries, who is in charge of the local Corps, speaking of the work of the Salvation Army. His remarks were most enlightening. We had no idea, nor had the rest of his hearers, just how much is done right in this 'district for. the needy and the unfortunate.. Whether or not you are a supporter of another depoin- Ination, you owe a debt to the Army . . . to those people :who take on the tasks in service to society which none of the rest of us worry about. The Salvation Army is at its most any "bum" on a city street can tell you about the quality of mercy which is the particular attribute of the Salvation Army. -When we are asked to donate to this cause, let us do so with a feeling of thankfulness that there are still those people who are willing to spend their time looking after those jobs which we so consistently forget. The Reasonable Attitude Is More Effective It is a rare individual who can plead a cause in which he is vitally concerned without saying too much. Reading the notes sent in to us for publication from the Huron government and capitalist than one finds in the more spirited farm writers, which are more likely to do harm than the opposite for the country people. So forceful were some of the statements, and so evil was the picture of those -who failed to see eye-to-eye with the farm leaders, that the -whole story almost smelled of treason. There has been a ranting quality to much of this material which is faintly reminiscent of the soap-box orator. Perhaps the c ,:tremists who write, or voice, such viol- ent views are not aware that their remarks have caused many a loyal supporter of farm organizations to sheer off. We prefer the style of careful reason and good common sense which best states the farmer's problems. Some Dogs Don't Behave 'There have been eT sievon S ill some quarters of the town about the dogs which are careering around fin the hmse. The dog question is always a touchy one. For some reason, the neighbor who criticizes the dog. acn)ss the street niak,'4 himself a very had friend in the dog's master. l'erhai)s all that is as it should be—provided every dog had about a hundred acre, to run in. Hut if You have ever seen the terror on a child's face when a dog has given him a bad scare, your sympathy is undoubtedly with the child. There are few dogs around here which are actually q likely to bite a child, but they can still hand out uite' a bit of worry for the children. Not Good For the Gander? Last week a group of policemen, enroute to Toronto from Windsor in new cars were charged with speeding.
