March.1st, 1914 J. E. Tamlyn, M. D. About West Africa Editor of Advance : I find many of your readers very much interested in news from North- ern Nigeria, West Arica, where it has been my lot to labour as a missionary for the past three years and as I find it impossible to meet all personally I thought we could reach many through the columna of your valuable paper. Northern Nigeria, West Africa, is a part.that is very little known about to Canadians. So many speak of me as retutning from South Africa but this is possibly two thousand miles from where I have been working, I have many questions asked me • relative to the customs and habits of the people. A few of these I will try to answer, "What'do the people do P'' "What! do they make 1 heir living at ?" Many of the people are farmers. Yet we must not think of them as farmers in the sense we farm in Ontario. All their farming is done by the aid of just hand hoes of a very crude make, made by the na lee blacksmith. yet it ie surprising what they really do accomplish with these crude im- plements. Horses or oxen are never used. Horses will not live long in the Niger Valley because a certain fly bites them and they go into a rapid decline and die. One missionary tried keeping a horse and buried four in a very short time. The heat is so intense that oxen could not stand hard work. Thus the men do the cultivating with a hoe and the women are the l:easte of burden and do all the carrying of the' crops home on their heads from the fields. Another question will naturally arise in the m n 1 andth at ii "What do they grow ?" There are various things grown such as Guinea corn which is a. Small grain growing up in the tassel of a corn -like stalk. It is a chief part of their food diet, The mother or daughter grinds the corn between two s' ones and makes it into a thick por- ridge which is eaten with the fingers. Our Indian corn is also cultivated two crops a year can be grown as the growing season is much longer than ours, there being no frost or cold weather. The thermometer scarcely ever going below 00 degrees. Yams are grown in large quantities. They grow in the ground and are in shape much like a large mengo'.a. The mis- sionaries use them to take the place of potatoes which will not grow in this part of Africa. The natives almost live on them durir g certain parts of the year. Sweet potatoes are grown and are relished by the missionaries. Rice is grown in the low lands and if we want to make a feast for the natives we must furnish them with a pot of boiled rice. Bananas, pawpaws and oranges are cultivated and grown in most parte, Peanuts are grown and exported in large gteantities. Many train kale pass through Jebba on their way to the Coast to be loaded on the ocean liners. The government has been encouraging the natives to grow cotton for export. They furnish the seed and superintend the growing in a general way. Tho chief natural products of the country are Palm }Kernels, Palm Oil, Kola nuts and shear butter nuts, Further up north cattle, sheep, goats and horses are raised and brought down to the coast in large herds and fucks. Very few of our Canadian vegetables can be grown suecessfully, however, tomatooe and a few others like lettuce, raddishen and cucumbers may be grown. Lest year 1 had bushels of tomatoes, The vines grow to a height of six or eight feet. Many of the natives are traders. They are born traders. Get ahead of a black trader if you can. They will ask four times the worth of an article and often get twice its value from the new missionary. But experience teaches In time. Others of the native young men are laborers for the Gov- arrnmeat on the trallwaye, others are clerks for the European Official. As in most tropical countries we have just the two seasons—the wet season from about April let to Nov. let and the remaining part of the year is known as the dry season. Many ask --"Are the natives capable of receiving knowledge ?" Let me mention two examples—Take the little black boy 'Ijola' who was one of my small boys on the Jebba Mission station and not over seven years of age. This boy can read his Yoruba Bible perfectly and when I left in April he was reading the third book in English and writes beautifully and is also well up in arithmetic. Then take another boy called 'Tom' when he came on the Mission. Compound a little over two years ago he did not know the letters of his native langu. age, but in six months he could read his Bible quite well and in one of his recent letters to me he said he had the missionary send to the coast for his fourth Eoglish reader. Along the 1 nes of religious instructions I have found them just as capable of receiv- ing. I have never seen more devoted followers of Christ than many of those poor ignorant heathen Soule. Rain or shine they are always found in their places at the church services,. Much more might be written but already I have taken too much of your valuable space. I have indeed enjoyed my visit baek to the old town. I see some improvements. The fine cement pave- ment on front street does much to improve the appearance of the town. Chas. T. Helmuth.

S; The army worm is a stout, smooth - bodied caterpillar, blackish or brown- ish' in color, with two yellowish stripes, tinged with red, along each side. When full grown it is about 1 iuches long, The adult is • a moth which lays her eggs chiefly on grass in lope lands. The caterpillars tbemsel- Tee never lay eggs or produce living young. The favorite food plants are grasses, timothy, oats, corn and millet, When food becomes scarce the worms move in enormous numbers in search of new feeding grounds. As the pest is being reported from numerous counties, every farmer should examine his fields from time to time to see if they are being attacked. If the insects have become distributed all over the field before being' noticed, the wisest course will be to cut the crop at once if it is timothy or grain and cure for hay, but if it is corn, scatter lightly through the field a poison mixture, made of 1 lb. of paris green mixed thoroughly in 25 lbs. of bran, and then moisten with water, sweetened with molasses. Make the mixture just moist enough to fall through the fingers like sawdust—not sloppy. If the crop is threatened or attacked only ip part, dig a trench immediately in front of where the worms are. In the case where the crop is partly at- tacked, it will be found advisable to cut a swath through the grain, and rake this off before the trench is dug. The trench is often uneatisfaetory, especially in clay soil, if it is not properly made. It should be at least I8 inches deep, in clay soil, with a straight clean side towards the crop to be protected. Post -holes at least a foot in depth must be sunk every 15 feet iu the bottom of the .trench. In sandy soil the trench works excellent- ly, but in clay soil it is often advisable as an extra precaution to heap up the loose earth on the crop right along the trench. The small particles of earth loosen and cause the climbing worms to drop. Bence in clay, or much soil it may be advisable to scratch the face of the wall lightly with a garden rake. Do this also after rain. When the worms, are unable to climb the wall they will pass lengthwise through the trench, and collect in, the post -holes, where they may be killed by crushing or other means. In digging the trench ploughs may be used, but the balance of the work , should be done with spades to insure a clean deep trench. Wherever the worms are .found, prompt action is very important.

Tee many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Stapleton will be glad to learn that their household ie now iu the midst of celebrating a family reunion, the first to be enjoyed by all members after a separation covering a period of eleven years. The return of their eldest daughter Pearl, together with her husband, Mr. P. B. Champlin, from their home at Providence, R. I., 1J. S. A., marks their initial visit to Wingham, and the event has not only been one of great joy and happiness to the parents and members of the family residing at home, but it has attracted these from other parte of the country—Misses Betty and Jean from 'reroute, also Mr. Percy Stapleton from Detroit. The family circle being once more complete, one and all have joined hands to make this occasion surpassanything that has ever been penned on home coming. 13Mtn Frxter—In Wingham, Jniy 21st, to Mr. and Mrs. I1 trry lier..er, a daugh- ter.

THOUSANDS OF FIRMS TESTIFY. Owing to the great iuduetrial expan sion, Canada is calling as never before for young people with an expert busi- ness training. For ten years the grad- uates of the Wingham Business Col- lege have been getting the best posi- tions and foregoing to the front. Over one thousand firms in Canadian and American towns and cities have testi- fied that W. B. 0., graduates are superior. The Wingham Business College is a link in Canada's greatest chain of High-grade Schools located in many t awns and cities during the past thirty years, also affiliated with the Com- mercial Elucators Association 9f Canada. Scores of young people from this town and vicinity have attended the Wingham Business College and the Spotton Business College, London, and a post card will bring you the names of these so that you may con- fer with them and get their opinion. You can study all at home, all at College, or partly at home and partly at College, end fees can be paid at any time. A lady graduate last year earn- ed $1,020.00, one thousand and twenty dollars, another lady graduate of seven years ago earned $1,500, fifteen hun- dred dollars, ask for their testimony. Gregg and Pitman Shorthand.. Young people interested in a busi- ness education should drop a postal to the Wingham Business College, or the Spotton Business College, London, for full particulars. 11111111/110. Junk Shop Law. The following has been taken from the legal columns of the Mail and Em- pire and may throw some light on the Wiugham controversy re our junk shop. D. M., Ripley—Qu.—A owns a junk shop, and it has been in the same place for about 17 years. Neighbors who have been living there for five years are trying to have A forced to remove his shop. Can this be legally done? Ans.—Even if it can be shown that the junk ehop is a private nuisance, that of itself is not sufficient to entitle any private individual to obtain a decree from the court ordering its re- moval. A junk shop is not necessarily a nuisance, It has been carried on in the same place for the past 17 years, therefore no new comer has any right to complain. It seems to me that you have not shown any sufficient reason for commencing an action to compel A to remove his shop to another locality. Ring Around A Rosy. The Council are to be congratulated in so regulating main street traffic 80 that vehicles must face right way, keep right side and turn the corners square but the wonder of the day is the red circles around the manholes, Some say that they aro there for the Councillors to play "Ring Around A Rosy" around. Others say that the Main street is to be turned into a golf links. People visiting our town should not be annoyed and harassed with tom -foolery not in vogue in cities of 500,000 souls, If the red circles are to be seen at night a candle should be placed in each manhole. ocat items Mr. Calvert of Diagonal Street is re- ported to have possibly the best garden in town. A large number from Wingham will attend the Old Boys' Reunion at Seaforth this week. All orders left at D. Bell's Music store for plane tuning and repairing will be promptly attended to.
