Railway men describe the Cana- dian National Exhibition as the greatest creator of traffic on the,con- tinent. HE welfare of new,agricultural communities in this Province requires that land clearing be done with the cheapest ,agent at hand -Fire. Therefore, restrictions must hamper settlers as little as is consistent with safety to lives and property. .Dis- astrous experience proves that in hot, dry weather unregulated use of fire in thickly wooded Northern Ontario means a menace to the lives and property of settlers and destruction of the provincial forest resources upon which a large part of Ontario's revenue and the livelihood of thousands of her citi- zens depend. That is why Ontario adopted a "Close Season" and the "Permit System" for setting out fire. But, remember, whether you have a permit or not, you are responsible for damages caused by any fire you light. Be careful— The "Close Season" for setting out fire in Northern; Ontario is from April 15th to September 30th. During that time within the Per- mit Area no one may set out fire for clearing land, disposing of de- bris or other inflammable' waste, or for any industrial purpose, without first obtaining a written fire permit from a Fire Ranger. This applies not only to settlers but to railway section crews, camp and mill crews, road builders, including Govern- ment employees, and all other per -- sons. When starting fire for cooking and camping, the law requires that a place be selected free fromin- flammable material, that every rea- sonable precaution be taken to pre- vent such fire spreading and that it be thoroughly extinguished be- fore quitting the place. The "Close Season" applies to all Ontario north of Bobcaygeon and Smith's` Falls and west of the line irfrom there to Renfrew. The Permit Arca includes those parts of Nipissing, Sudbury, Temis ke nisig and Algoma lying north of the C.P.R. between Mattawa. and North Bay and north of ..the C. N. R. westward to a point some 35 miles beyond Hornepayne. The remainder of the Province forms the Exempt Area. Within the sparsely peopled Exempt Area no permits are generally issued, but those setting out fires in the "Close Season" are ,required to exercise every reasonable precau- tion and a Chief Fire Ranger, if he deems it wise, may serve a Pro- hibitory' Notice and require a per- son to take out a permit. The Fire Ranger does his best to follow the happy medium be- tween the desire of the settler to +`get a good burn" and the require- ments of Public Safety. Help him all you can.

THE LATE WM. J, BRAY, OF VIRDlEN, MAN. The many friends com- munity of the late Wnt.in `J.this Bray,, of Virden, Man., will read width interest the following obituary which appear- ed in the Virden Empire Advance. e. ., "William John Bray,who has been a sufferer for a considerable time, the latter part of which, with- out hope of recovery, passed ; away at his home, Virden, Thursday, July 21, 1921, aged 59 years, 8 months and 16 days. 1 -lis: sickness and death has been the cause of general regret on the part of all who knew him in the community where he lived so long, and where zzo man enjoyed more genuine friendship and re- spect. Mr. Bray came to the west from Exeter, Ontario, in 1839, and settled in the Joslin district, later buying the farm where he made his home until a couple of years ago when he retired and secured a home in Virden. In 1892, he joined the benedicts, >marrying Miss Sarah J. Heman and by this marriage had 2 children who survive him, viz., Len- ora and Dora, both of whom 'are' at home. His first wife died In 1905. In March 1909 he took as a bride Miss Anna Delbridge, of Exeter, Ont., who together with the children named above and a sister Mrs. Smith Spence of London, Ont., are left to mourn his comparatively early death. Need- less to say they all have the sincere sympathy of the community in their great bereavement. In religion Mr. Bray was a Presbyterian, a Member of Knox church, Wallace, of which he held the position of elder for many years. He was an honored member of the Canadian Order of Foresters. In the public life of ` the community he was an unostentatious but willing worker. esides serving his school district as trustee, he serv- ed ward five and the whole of the municipality of Wallace as a Coun- cillor for a period of ten years -1906 to 1915. He held high ideals in ref- erence to public service and it is safe to say that he never profited ted p erson- ally to the extent of a single dollar for any work or indemnity in con- nection with his municipal activities. Where payment for services was forced upon him he invariably used it in improvements for the benefit of the people. A quiet, kind-hearted man, he performed many an act of kindness unknown to any but the recipients. No wonder he was held in such sincere respect. As a friend and neighbor he is spoken of in the highest terns. He served to antici- pate need and was always ready to offer it. The funeral was one of the largest seen in this district.

ERfiIS V E YOU Both the Community and the Exhibitor Get Publicly. it Pays to Let Others Know That You Have the Goods — Fighting the Hessian Fly --The Silo a; Proven Utility. (Contributed by OntarioDepartment of� Agriculture, Toronto.) To the general farmer who grows, good'grain for seen, to the specialist in garden and truck crops; and par- ticularly to the live stock pian, the Fall Fair offers an opportunity. It pays to advertise; the Fair is the place where the people see the goods produced, and seeing is believing. Moreover,the papersreport the win- nings, and through these the exhibi- tion gets a large amount of adver- tising free which would otherwise cost him a -considerable amount of money. Winning in close competi tions under a competent judge adds dollars to the value of stock shown and increases the market price of any commodity, as well as giving the ex- hibitor a standing not only in his own community but over a section of country corresponding to the size and influence of the show at which prizes are won. The Fair is a good place to make sales. Prospective buyers see the good exhibits made and en- quire about the breeding stock at home. Stockmen show at Fairs largely to make sales rather than to. win prizes, although the latter is a factor in the, sales and they are not disappointed as evidenced by the growing interest in the Fall Fair. Showing at the Fair, coupled with a judicious newspaper advertising pol- icy, which should never be neglected, is good business. The two go together and work hand in hand. It pays to let others know of your good stock. Use printers' ink and show at the Fall Fair.—Wade Toole, 0. A. Col- lege, Guelph. Fighting the Hessian Fly. Growers of winter wheat are ad- vised to practice immediate control measures advocated by the Depart- ment experts. ts. fihe following ng eight t cardinal control measures, if rigor- ously enforced and adhered to by every grain grower, will prevent the introduction and spread of the pest: Do not sow wheat on stubble if possible to avoid it. Plough under all infested stubble and ruined wheat where practicable soon after harvest, especially where this does not interfere with the growing of clover and forage grasses. Destroy all volunteer wheat by harrowing, disking, ploughing, ®r otherwise. Plough all winter wheat land as early and deeply as existing condi- tions permit, and prepare a thor- oughly pulverized and compacted seedbed. Conserve moisture against a period of drought at seeding time. TJse the best seed procurable. Keep the soil in good tilth and. most important of all, sow winter wheat during the fly -free period as advised by local farm advisers or experiment stations. Work, in co-operation with your neighbor in fighting this pest, as community action is essential to in- sure complete success. Late sowing is recommended, but not too late sowing, as the latter is as disastrous in its ultimate results as is too early sowing. Uncle. Sam's grain -disease doctors say that the safe date in a time of normal rain- fall usually coincides, in any one locality, with the preferable time for sowing to bring maximum yield. For example, grain growers in northern Michigan and Ontario are advised to sow after September ' 1, while the producers of southern Michigan and northern Ohio will escape fly infesta- tion if they plant their grain about September 20,—U. S. Weekly 'News Letter. Silo Almost as. Useful as Barn. The silo is rapidly becoming recog- nized as a necessary part or the farmer's equipment. A farm without a silo, at least in the corn area, is no longer up to date. The rapid adoption of the silo is accounted for by recognition of its advantages. If corn is cut at the proper stage and put into .a good silo, the whole corn plant is oaten. Silage is more convenient to feed than is any other rough feed, com- monly used on the farm. Silage is both palatable and suc- culent. The addition of a succulent feed to a ration increases the digestibility of the dry feed eaten. With a silo it is possible to save corn that might otherwise, .owing to immaturity, be largely wasted. The silo not only provides excel- lent feed in winter time, but furn- ishes a moans of keeping more for summer use feed of high quality. August Fat•nc Hints. As the grains are harvested the land which is not seeded should, when practicable, be cultivated on the surface so as to germinate the scattered seeds, hold the moisture, and better fit the land for ploughing in the autumn. Sod land calculated for winter wheat should be ploughed early in the month and harrowed every week or ten days in preparation. When. picking wild flowers do not take the whole plant. Remember leaves and roots are needed to grow again next year. .+C We ^hear much these days about planting shrubbery and flowers and osta,plishing good fruit and vegetable gardens on the farm, They all pay,in money value as well as added comfort.
