We are being equipped with steel helmets and ga•i ,nate k,, etc, and have our parka ready, to move at a motnent.'s notice, but where v'o ate going to I don't kuuw, You t. wit i•ot be surprised if you hear ne ace in France, or in some other part of this country next time 1 write. We have no idea whatever of where or when we aro goingi, tut we have orders to Stand to, and Le p everything ready so that th ire will not be any delay. Have been prettT.,busy during; the last week, taking cofrecce bombing' and ant; -gas. Thursday and Friday afternoons, we went 'out to some trenche, quite a distance from camp, and practised bomb throwing. Dum- my bombs were used for practising with but we had to throw on live bomb eaoh, These we threw from behind a parapet and bad to bob down after so that none of the shrapnel would hit ue. In our anti -gas course we had to take several marches' with our gas weeks on, BO as to get used to wearing them, On Saturday morning we had to go through a trench into wte :h a jet prison of poison gas was d?re.ted. We wore our masks andI S knew y s her n w we were passing through anything, We also had to pass through ", s,•tarn- bar filled with a gas called the 'veep-. gee. As soon as we got inside our eyes started to smart and we could not keep them open. We never were any masks going through this, just going in to see how it affected our eyes, As soon as we got through the tears, were running just as though we had been pealing onions, but in a few minutes we were alright again. The Germane used this gas to blind the English while making an attack but a kind of glasses are supplied now which are proof against this gas, - Yesterday, Sunday, wo had •.hureh parade at nine o'clock. After that we were kept busy ail day getting every- tbing packed up, and gettiog our equipment together. • -Have not had any di ills today but have had to parade in full mi >euing order two or three times to he inspect- ed by the Colonel or Divisional Oflio. ere, Wo won't be sorry when, wo c:o move, because we have testily in ,amp and are being called out on parade every few minutes. The offi3er..keep inspecting ps to see that we nil ..wear our equipment alike. They • even make us all wear. our bootlaces the same way.

FIFLD CROP COMPETITION Rules and Regulations of the Standibg Field Crop Competitions, 1917 NATtrttn oJ' Ct»u't.TLT1oN.--Societies can enter two crops, to be selected by the I3card of Direotors, Eaoh field en- tered must consist of not lessthan five acres nor more than twenty, in one block; but for beans, potatoee, mangles, turnips, clover or alfalfa, the minimum plot must bo not less than one acre. In Northern Ontario, the miniature for grain will be three acres, and for roots one• -half acre. If a field contains more than five acres and the competitor wishes to re- duce it to , the minimum acreage al- lowed, it will bo necessary for him to either cut a swath between the part to be judged and the balance of tho field, or set a row of stakes not less than four feet high for a division line. Un - Jess this is done the judge will be re- quired uired to score b w hothe 1e field. Selection must be made from the following (Imps, viz., springor fall wheat, white oats, barley, rye, flint corn, dent corn, peas, aleike clover, alfalfa, red clover, potatoee, mangele, turnips, beaus, or ether staple crop grown for seed in Ontario. 2 CO3IPETITo11s,-Competition will be limited to those who are paid-up members of an Agricultural Society for the current year, and fields enter-• ed must be not more than fifteen miles from its headquartere. Competitors wilt be allowed to make entry in one So• ciety only, for one or two varieties of crop, and only one entry can be made by each competitor in each kind of crop. A father and son residing on the same farm cannot make separate entries, 3 SOCIETY'S ENTRY. -Societies de siring to entee this competition must send list not later than the first day h of May. except for corn, the latest dare for making entry in which will be May 15.h. Not lees than ten bona fide entries for each crop in any Soci- ety will be accepted. 1 IentvueCAL ENTRIES. -Individual entries ,oust be forwarded by the Sec- retary of each Society to me, on or before May 5th, 1017, except entries for corn which can be rent in up to June 15,b. 5 A Society may charge an entry. fee of not more than one dollar for crop entered by a competitor, but this is optional with the Directors. 0 The Government Grant to a Soci- ety will be $50 for each crop, making a total of $100 if two crops are entered. This amount must be supplemented by the Society to the extent of $25 for each competition, In the event of one crop being entered the total amount of prize money offered will be $75; for two crops the prizes to be awarded will be $150. , In the event of prizes being offered at the exhibition of a Society which has entered the Crop competition, the prize winners should exhibit at such local fair not less than one bushel of grain and a sheaf; saidsheaf to be not less than 8 inches in diameter at the binder. The condition upon which prize winners are to exhibit is that 4,ot less than $5, $1, and e3 be given as first, second and third prizes for such exhibits of grain and sheaves. The ainopnt cpnteibuted by the Soci- ety of $25 for each crop can be counted in as expenditure for agricultural pur poses in the yearly financial state• mens on which tho regular Annual (r}rant is based. If au entry fee is charged fur each crop the net amount paid bya Seciett' wouldbe verysmall when tiro Targe financial benefits re. ceived by.ti e members who take part in these competitions are considered. 7.
