Cold "weather and frost in some
areas has almost stopped growth
as far as pastures are concerned,
says the Huron County Agricul-
tural report. If the frost continues,
the crops of legume hay will be
somewhat reduced. All of the
spring seeded cereals have - germ-
inated very well and although the
growth isslow most of these crops
were well rooted before the wea-
ther turned cold.
fain recently did a great .deal to
promote growth in all plants and
was acclaimed the million dollar
rain by ' farmers in this district.
A reasonably dry spring has made
it possible for farmers with early
pastures to turn some of their
livestock out for the summer. If
warm weather returns, most of the
corn will be sown during the nex
week.

Grows from a little seed,
So grew the Lions program
To fill a boyish need.
Making of the town
A working brotherhood;
Proving to the world
There's fun in doing gooa.
Kind courtesy to strangers
Causing them to feel
A real sincere welcome
For me has great appeal.
And so to Goderich Lions, -
A "Thank you," yes, indeed,
