IbIst UP TO STRENOTH Interesting Letter from .Adjutant V(in- Stone to Relatives Witley, Surrey, Dear father and all;— Moved over to this Camp on Tues. day last and are very comfortably settled. Received our first draft of wen on Wednesday, 62, and strange yo eay they were from the tth Reserve Battalion at West Sandling, This is the tame Battalion with which we were quartered while at Candling Camp and as they fully expected to absorb us it was ratheio turning the tables to have men come from them. These fit men came from the 142ad (London's Own) and the 168th (Oxford County) and so are all Western Ou- tario'e. Expect to be brought up to etrength in the course of a week or ten days, put in a month's final train- ing and all be in France about the middle of March. Everyone is right on the bit since we received the word that we were to go across as a Unit. It is a very high compliment as it is twenty months since a battalion has gone as such. All others *have been broken up and absorbed just se we are now absorbing men of the 142nd and 168th. Witley is an ideal clamp for comfort and training; The eoil is rather sandy and so no mud to bother ue. Nice huts, heated and with electric lights for everyone. Large dining -room, which will seat 1000, for the men, and they also have a good sized writing and recreation room. The sergeante have their own quarters and mess The officers have u good meas -room and a nicely furaiebe;l lounge room and very fine sleeping quarters. I have a room to myself, 10'115', with coat fire place, iron bed, waeh stand and chest of drawers, so am in clover. Some difference from what we had in our three previous camps but it alt goes in a soldier's life. This is a won- derful experience and 1 would nos have missed is, and anyone who •comes through will have recollections enough to lasta life tune.. Tbie Camp is in Surrey, only 38 mites from London, and right on the London. Portemouth highway which is one of the best roade in England having been an old Roman road, There • is an int • misuse Artillery Camp quite close and yesterday we saw the artillery pass, the line being coneiderably over ainile in length. Just received your letter to -day dated Dec. 29„h and 1 also had one from Urace dated Jan 17th. it will ehow yon that the mail is very irregu- lar. Also had Freda's letter just be- fore leaving Sandling and I nen anx- ioiuely awaiting the parcel containing the applee, tobacco and cigars. Mid is Sunday evening and this af- ternoon a half dozen of us took a walk to Godalming, a little town of 6,000 about three miles away. Guildford is the biggest place in this neighborhood about 50,000 and is eight miles away and Aldershot is only 14 miles from here. ,Before the war Aldershot wars the permanent Camp for all Imperial troops and up until last Sept. the lines and huts we now have were oc• cupled by Imperial troops.

Brooks, Press Rep- resentative, Annette Kellerman in Neptuue's Daughter, • When Miss AnnetteeKellerman last appeared in the Hippodrome, her grace and charm and accomplishments led the alert Loudon representative of the Uaiversal;Fiim Cu. to approach her with a suggestion regarding starr- ing on Broadway. The result of his suggestion was witnessed this season at the Globe Theatre, New York, when Mies Kellerman with "Neptune's Daughtei" as her vehicle, created new records for Broadway motion picture productions. Blase playgoers were electrified; jaded critics rubbed their oyes and wondered, rival film produc- ers gnashed their teeth, and the direct- ors of the universal Film. 0o. smiled' broad smiles—once again they had delivered the goods! "Neptune,s Daughter" made Broadway sit up and take notice, just as it will delight the audiences when this famous photoplay production ie sees at the Picture House Where it commences a run of two nights on Wednesday and Thurs- day March 2let and 22nd. Miss Kel- lerman is sans douse the world's great- est woman natatorial expert.

Mr, Henry G. Bell, DIrector of the work of the Soil Improvement Com- mittee of Chicago, a former Ontario Boy, gave a very instructive discussion of the tillage of the soli and manage- ment of the plant food. He illustrat- ed hie remarks in a novel manner, by the use of considerable apparatus and charts. Thie was especially pleasing to all present and undoubtedly im- pressed the lessons brought out. Mr. Bell thinks that Huron County has a wonder ful opportunity to become the "Garden County" of the Province, as yet the yields of • the common farm crops of the County are far below some of the older parts of this continent and European countries, where intensive methods are employed. More in- tensive farming in Europe based upon a greater amount of band labor, which is alarmingly scarce in America and Mr. Bell thinks that modern, larger and more efficient machinery can take the place of a larger number of hand laborers. He especially made plain the necessi- ty of proper drainage of the soil and Liming. He`advieed the use of consid- erably more, lime on the heavy clay soils, especially the use of air slacked burnt lime, which not only corrected the•eourbess of the soil, but improved the coursenees of the soil particles. He said that the value of farm manure was greatly increased by protecting it from rain and snow and by adding 50 lbs of acid phosphate to a ton of man- ure, this strengthens manure in its weak points. Mr. Bell gave a special clear discus- sion of the use of fertilizers. He dis- cussed the idea of moisture with refer- ence to fertilizers, He said that they were carriers of available plant food, which is the same as that carried by manure, but he said that they should be chosen of an analysis. which should make up for the weakness of the soil and should meet the special needs of the crop. The special conditions now prevailing when an increased yield of crops 'is desired, there is no reason why Huron County could not increase its yields many per cents this coming summer, Such an increase can be ob- tained by an addition of 200 to 300 pounds per acre of euitable fertilizer, where small grains have been planted, Potatoes Gan be greatly improved in quality andincreased in yield by the addition of even double this plan t food. THERE'S A GIRL SOMEWHERE IN HURON When the call to arms was sounded, it rang from shore to shore, Proud Huron called upon her sons to play 'their part in wax,— Right nobly they responded' and as they sailed away— It seemed to me in their good-bye cheers I heard our soldiers say. Chorus There's a girl somewhere in Huron, ecmewhere there watts for me A heart of gold and a pure one; There's a girl I long to see, When the glad "cease lire" has sound= ed and we lay our guns aside, Some time, some where in Huron, some' girl w)ll be my bride. Ev'ry soldier lad Wae lonesome, each lass was lonesome too... It given us pain to leave behind, our lobed ones fond and true -- Some day there'll be a big ship tome speeding o'er the mains—• And abawe the cheer of joyful hearts we'll hear this glad refrain, Oborus The above poem was composed by Pte, Taos, Pritchard, a member of the princeee Pats Whose hams is in Goderiah. Ile will gladly Bell thie song to anyone sending in 15 dents to Maar at Qoderieh. n Mr. Bell's coming to address the farmers of this vicinity is largely due to the enterprixe of our townsman Mr, A: H. Wilford, who was one of hie college mates at Ontario Agricultural College. Mr. Purche11 a hydro electric engin- eer gave the farmers a very good re- port of the possibilities within their reach, if hydro passed their farms. It would do away with gasoline engines, windmills, the emoky dim lamps and tanterne which so often burn down buildings, and would be the means of more progressive farming. As there. is a movement on foot at present to have Hydro come to Wingbam and serve the neighbouring dietricts as wen, he was listened to very atten- tively and his suggestions were gladly received. Mr. Bell who is widely known as an authority on eoil improvement and better farming methods writes to several farmers and answers questions in the Frankfle W on ready print pages a ee of several Ontario papers. These questions and answers, while interest- ing do not in many cases, even deal with conditions in Ontario. THE AD- VANCE has arranged with Prof. Bell, to receive questions from the farmers of this district, forward them to Ohio - ago, and vpon the receipt of the answers, will publish both in our columns from week to week, This is an opportunity that the farmers will appreciate and some have already taken advantage of the question drawer, , Send in your question to THE AD. VANYCE, and Prof, Bell will answer it through our columns. The Board of Trade is to be congrat- ulated for their progressiveness in the forward step that' they have taken in bringing about the discussion of such timely and important subj sole as those Which were presented before an audience of many of Huron's best Farmers.
