A special meeting of the Town Conn- ] was held on Monday evening with il members in their place except Mr. lliott. The Mayor presided. The Mayor reported that T. Harry ones of Brantford had been engaged y the Street Committee to lay out pro- osed sewers. A petition was read, asking that an ght inch sewer and six inch cellar rain be laid on Edward street from atrick to John street and on John treet from Edward to Josephine street. Moved by Couns. Isbister and Patter - on, that the petition be accepted when roperly signed and that Street Commit- ee proceed with the work if the ngineer finds the levels satisfactory.— arried. Moved by Reeve McKibbon and Coun. oung, that the Street and Sewer Com- ittee engage T. Harry .loues, of rantford'to survey ground covered by roposed sewers and any contemplated ewers and name proper points to con- ect with main sewer.—Carried.

Isbister took exception to what ad been stated in last week's TIMES re he engaging of Mr. Barber as inspect - r of paving work on Josephine street, laiming the Council approved of the ppointment. In reply to Conn. Isbister e might say that we raised no objection, ast week to last year's committee eking the appointment. The commit- ee followed the precedent set in 1910. We can simply say that after again ex - mining the minute book covering the work of last year's Council, we fail to nd any record showing that the ap- pointment of Mr. Barber hhd been pproved by Council, omen's Institute Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Wingham branch of the Women's In- titute will be held at the home of Mrs. W. J. Adair in Turnberry on the afternoon of Thursday, July 30th.

The list this year contains the names of 921 voters, and there are 394 persons quali- fied to serve as jurors. There are thirty days from the 17th of July in which appeals may be made.

Ile indicated many methods people ought to practice to help' prevent the spread of this scourge. He showed the work of the Muskoka Free Hospital and why it was free and deserved the support of the public.

On account of the crops in some dist- ricts being badly attacked by this pest, it is advisable for every farmer to be on the lookout and ready to combat it if comes his way. • The army worm is about one and one- half inches long when full grown, and is striped with black, yellow and green, of a dingy appearance and much re- sembling the cutworm. When detected all efforts should be centred on keeping the worms out of crops not yet attacked. A deep furrow (several furrows are better) ploughed around the fields with the vertical or steep side of the furrow next to the crop to be protected, serves as a barrier to prevent the march of the worme, as they will not be able to crawl up the straight side of the fur- row. Holes or pits should be dug in the bottom of the furrow every ten or twelve feet to catch the worms as they erawl along looking for a place to get out. They can then be destroyed with a blunt stick or by burning straw over them. By thoroughly spraying or dusting a small strip of the crop in advance of the worms with Paris green, and liber- ally distributing poisoned bran kmixed at the rate of fifty pounds bran and one pound Paris green With enough molasses and water to sweeten it) large numbers may be destroyed. A field so poisoned must not be pastured until rain has thoroughly washed it. Whatever is done must be done quickly and at once, for a single day's delay may often mean the ruin of a valuable crop.
