Mfrs S Fitton was in London on Frietat in connection with' the pur- chase of two field kitchens for the soldiers at London, The ladies pur- chases the field kitchens—a large and a small one—and these were formally presented to the 33rd batallion 'at noon on Wednesday of this week, the presentation being made by the sec- retary Mrs Fitton, and an address being given by Dr. Shaw of Clinton, A. neumber of Exeter people were in attendance. "The largest area ever sown to wheat in Canada" is how the Can- adian Government describes present conditions in a bulletin just issued. The bulletin says—Wheat is estimated to occupy this year a total. of 12,896,- 000 acres, which is more by 1,602,- 150 acres, or 14.8 per cent, than the area shown for 1914, and by 2,602,100 acres,, or 25 per cent., tb 'an the area harvested in 1914, the area _sown for last year having been reduced by 939,600 acres. We were a little surprised the ether day to find fifty dollars on the road beside the hedge at the corner of a prominent farmer's house, and nore so to find that it had, lain for several weeks unmolested and was beginning to loon_ much the worse for exposure. The money was in the shape of a corn planter ,which will have to be re- placed by .a new one before another season unless cared for better. If we had the money that is lost every year by neglect of farm machinery, we would not be running a newspaper. Because the fly is small and does not roar like a lion or devour its prey at a mouthful, mankind pays little at- tention to it. But the fly is as deadly a foe to civilization as any of the pests .of more fearsome aspect, which man makes it his business to destroy. The fly's attack isirrsidious and there- fore the more to be guarded against He buzzes into the house, drops his deadly disease germs where they will fertilize and buzzes out again to pick. up a fresh cargo.
