They wouldn't need to buy or rent grass farms, They could feed their cattle at bore°. Most of the grass fame ypu come by these days are in the same condition and you have to get them worth the money or they are more humbug than good. To help our Huron County farmere in their problem of gleaning up sortie of these plots, the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association and the Department of Agriculture Engineering is sponsoring a thorn tree removal day in Millet Township, on Wednesday, October .14th. There the latent in mechanical and chemical means will be demonstrated. It will be a pooling of ideas and demonstra- tion of practical methods of cleartieg away these horrid scrub growths on the farm. But, it takes more than a county- wide them tree removal dad' to clear away the thorns on the farms along the concessions. The folks may drive over to Hullett Township to logic over the latest developments, but will they do anything about it when they come home? The thorn tree day is designed to show you how and give you some ideas, You must eue those ideas into practice at home. Have a thorn tree removal day of your own, and clean away those scrubby trees that arc robbing the land of its plant food, that are harbouring the infestations of grain smuts as well as tent caterpil- lars, and a hundred and one other such pests. Clean them tip, and im- prove the value and appearance of your farm. There needs to be a lot of .thorn tree removal days in Huron, WAXING PLANT BEING REBUILD plant is being built in town and will be ready by the time the building is completed, The two boilers in the plant were not severely damaged in the fire which will mean a great sav- ing in time and cost of getting the waxing operations underway. Mr. Goetz was assisted in cleaning up the aftermath of the fire by a group of farmers and town labourers who pitched in immediately follow- ing the blaze with great zeal.—Mild- may Gazette.

But it's awfully easy to let these little jobs grow, and while our ambition may stand still, the thorn trees continue to grow briskly.
