The basement of the church presented a pretty scene, being decorated, in green and white, which was artistically draped over the entrance and ceiling as well as being entwined in profusion around the pil- lars, A booth was arranged in one corner, of pure whtte,and was adorned with large green leaves of shamrock, In the booth Mr. Chas.

Scott as an Irish School Teacher with G. Fergust?n as pupil demonstrated a history and gee. graphy lesson. The culminating quee. tion was, Where is Wingham?, and the reply was, Wingham isthe place where they have the Sweets Act and where the people got awfully mad when Barney closed his shed, This brought forth a good deal of merriment. A musical contest was conducted and the dear little ehawrocks were die- tributed, whereby partners were se- lected for tea. Both of these features created a great deal of hillarity. An old time spelling match brought the program to a close which was conduct- ed by P. W. Scott. The words were taken from the map of Ireland. The captains were Nelson Higgins and Alex, Porterfield.

G. Pratt, M. V. P,, of South Nor- folk. About 2000, mostly agricuitur- iets, wore present, and a Weal fernier fromTucksremith, Mr. John Bamford, occupied the chair. Mr. Pratt mentioned Denmark as a splendid example of what co-operation can do for the farmer and showed how the people of that country have been able to raise and market their pro- ducts with surprising results, under the co-operative plan, The speaker's own county of Nor- folk bas benefitted largely .by" the scheme and he saw no reason why the eplendid county of Huron could not materially increase their output of fruit and vegetables of aII kinds to the great advantage of the producer. Several farmers asked questions which were fully answered by Mr. Pratt, and it was strongly advisable that Huron County should have a district repre• sentative to give advise and assistance in the effort for more intense and scientific farming. No organization has been formed here as yet, but there is a great need for a movement to most profitably utilize the splendid soil to be found in Huron County. Ethel. b.
