THE FAIR.
Oh, yes, Exeter is going to have
Fall Fair this year as usual. 'There is
mo doubt of it whatever. The dates
lave long been fla.ed for Sept, 19th and
20th. This year it is ander the control
of the South Heron Agricultut•al
Society in conjunction with the Ste-
phen and. Usborne Brauch. The sroall
amount of advertising that has been
done, there being a great scarcity of
hills posted or newspaper advertising,
has been remarked by many of our
eitizens. It is doubtful whether one-
half the people of the neighborhood
know that there is goiug to be a fair
here, and only for the fact Exeter has
never failed to have a fait, for naany
years on the Monday and Tuesday
irnmediately succeeding the London
Fair, we doubt whether the farmers
of the vicinity or the citizens of town
would dream of the near approach of
an event that foryearshas been known
as second only in importance in
the western part of Ontario to that
held iD London. We believe that the
adyertising is under the control of the
South Huron Agricultural Society, and
we are very much surprised at their
loose and disjointed methods of ad-
vertising. The only means they have
used to any extent seems to be the
Prize Lists. While they are good it
should be borne in mind that they do
not reach more than one in twenty of
the people interested in a Fall Fair at
Exeter. Everybody should endeavor
to make it a success, and the directors
much more so than others. It is to
be hoped that the fair will be even a
greater success than in the previous
years. Those who have something to
show shonld show it, and they with
everybody else should come out to see
whatis shown, and to enjoy a good
day.

One of ehe prominent features in
connection with the farmers' institute
work is the establishment of liabaries
in the different ridings. One of the in-
stitutes fotmed in the northern part of
the province in 1896 hae in the past,
three years spent about $500 on three
libraries for the benefit of the riding,
and it is intended to spend a consider-
able sum each year in addiog to these.
The books deal chiefly with agricultor-
al subjects, field agricalture,hve stock,

added books of special interest to wo-

11"4,T THE FALL SHOW DECLINES.
A dalmteniporarY says: "One of the
obstacles which agricultural managers
have to contend against is the unwill-
ingness of young men to take stock
and otber exhibits to the fair, as their
sires were wont to do a generation ago.
The modern youngman, never lacking
i
in pocket money, s disposed to take
only a fine roadster, a nice carriage
and a pretty girl to the annual exhibi-
tion of the agricultural society, his idea
being to have a pleasant, social time
rather than to win prizes.Hence the
list of exhibits, apart from the horse
ring, has been dwindled down to a fine
point and the life of the society is in
danger. The officers of the society
would fain have the modern young
man understand that their aim is to
conduct an agricultural exhibition,not
a matrimonial bureau."

In August the Town Council of
Clinton decided on motion upon the
petition of 230 ratepayers represent-
ing capital of $162,875, to submit the
question ot Local Option to the voters
at the next January election. Last
week Mr. John Elmsford presented a
counter petition, signed by 254 rate -
papers representing capital of $281,855,
asking that the motion be rescinded.
In presenting the petition Mr.. Rans-
ford read an address containing many
arguments against Local Option, and
cited naany reasons why the second
petition was more representitive of
the ratepayers of the town than the
first petition. He attempted to prove
that Local Option was adverse to the
business and moral interest of the
town, and that it was hnpossible to
stop drinking in small quantities as
long as liquor was manufactured and
sold in large etnantities. The Council
decided to discuss the matter at the
October meeting. Meanwhile the -war
is waxing warm between the two
parties.

" Noxious Weeds of Ontario. ,
Weeds not only cause a great deal
of unnecessary work and annoyance
during the harvesting, threshing and
cleaning of grain, but they sap the
very vitality from the plants or crops
grown; Impure seed, particularly of
grasses and clovers, is largely respons-
ible for the alarming spread of nox-
ious weeds, consequently it is always
aadveisable to sow the best seed avail-
blEarly maturing crops, such as clover
hay, can be cut before the seeds me-
tope, thus preventing the distribution
of weeds. Summer cultivation of the
stubble land, followed next season by
a hoed -crop properly cared for, will
destroy all the Weed seeds sufficiently
near the surface to germinate.
To eradicate weeds it is important
to know something of their nature
and growth. Some excellent advice
regarding the cornmonec varieties is
given by Mr. Simpson Rennie, owner
of...the gold medal farm of Ontario.
THE CANADA THISTLE AND PEREN-
NIAL Sow TerieTna-These can be en-
tirely killed in a single season by a
pr operly worked corn or root crop.
The main thing is to keep tliern from
showing above ground. As soon as
the thistle is allowed to grow up and
develop leaves it commences to store
away plant food in its underground
stern and roots, so that by the time
it is in full bloom it will belie stared
sufficient food to live through another
season, no matter what cultivation is
given the land. Where a sumnier fal-
low is resorted to there is no trouble
in clearing the land of perennial thiet-
les, either by shallow plowing or by
using a cultivator with wide -Points Oil
the teeth, going over the land at least
once every three weeks until August.
BIND WEED. -This a perennial and
one of the most difficult weeds to er-
adicate. On account of its twining
nature and deep roots it can scarce-
ly be killed in a single season, even
where the land is a hoed crop. The
only way to kill it thoroughly is with
sunanaer fallow, worked every eight
or ten days with a broad -shared culti-
vator.
Couca GRASS. --To eradicate this
troublesoine perennial it is advisable
to plow immediately after harvest,
but not more than four or five inches
deep, as the rootlets are near the sur-
face. When the weather is dry, the
roots earl be gathered into rows by
means of the harrow and sulky horse -
rake. The spring -tooth cultivator is
also very effective in drawing the
roots to the surface where they are
not so numerous as to block is up in-
tirely. The roots collected should be
allowed to dry and then burned. A
well -worked corn or root crop the next
year will help materially in subduing
the weed.
OX -EYE DAIST.-The daisy is most
troublesome in pasture and sod land,
but is not much seen in well -cultivated
fields. It may be got rid of by seeding
only to clover, cutting this before the
daisy seeds ripen, and. plowing up the
sod. after the first crop.
FALSE FLAX, PIGEON WEED AND
CHESS. -All these weeds start to grow
in the fall and produce seed the next
season. If fall wheat be left out of
the rotation, they may be eradicated
by regular summer cultivation after
harvest, thus germinating and destroy-
ing the seed.
RA.0 WEED. --By growing early ma-
turing crops and plowing up the land
immediately after the crops are off,
the seed of the Rag Weed will be pre-
vented from maturing, and in a few
years this weed will be destroyed.
WILD OATS. -AI thoug4 only an
annual, this weed is very troublesome
in some sections. It is best to work
the land as soon as the crop is taken
off, thus encouraging the seeds to
germinate. The next season a, hoed
crop shoeld he put, in. The second
spring the land should be sown with
some grain without plowing and seed-
ed down to grass. If the land is left
in sod for three or four years most of
the seed will have lost its germinating
power.
WILD MUSTARD.-,--AltbOOgh only an
annual, this weed is very troublesome
on account of the vitality of its seeds.
They may lie in the ground for years
end yet, when btouglat to the surface,
will germinate. Thorongb surface
cultivaticin from harvest to time of
freezing up, followed by a lined crop
the next spring will largely eradicate
mustard. It .may Also be destroyed
in grain crops -by spraying with a two
per cent solution of mapper solphate at
the rate of fifty gallons to the acre.
If the rnusterd plants ate in bloom a,
strOnger solution will be necessary,
say three to four per cent.
Although only e few of 'the mottoes
weeds are here men thane& if the above
methods are ea ivied out they will des-
troy et the seine time scores of others
of less (mportance.
