WHY?
(eyA, a. K.)
if Wee Angus has a fishing Pole,
of string he has a goodly ,roll, two
hooks I think he's got; then after
four along with Joe, they gather up
their stuff and so, they fish an awful
lot,
• Wee Angus' pole is jut a limb,
but it is geed enough far him, for
neth ne more be yearns; then he
ar.d Joe dig in the yard, they say it
Isn't very hard, to find a can of
worMS.
r• my neighbor A he fishes too,.
argil all his tackle ;n brand new, I
know it must be good; he's, scien-
tittc in his way. and he will go and
fish all day. and do things like he
should.
e He understands his fish I know,
and -ay, he knows the place to go,
just hew to pick am choose he
know= the hour they bite the best,
and knows fret having made bis
tent, the bait he ought to use.
✓ i knew he went out yee'erday,
be muse.. have travelled far away,
for he come hone quite late; he
didn't have neat luck he said, and
he was talking blue and red, much
like a chant of hate,
C But Joe and Angus got home
quick, they'd used their humble
line and s:5ek, their worms weren't
nearly done; they had three fish of
goodly size, and there was pleasure
in their eyes—they'd had a heap of
fun.

Farm Land Values
For the third year in succession,
average values of occupied farm
land, In Canada are estimated at
$24 per acre, Farm land values
have been declining since 192e
when they were repented at 838 per
acre, A low point. of 3.23 Ter acre
.was reached an 1934 and an in-
crease of $24 occurred in 1936
since when the values have remain-
ed at that figure.
Tent Caterpillar
Now le the time to control tent
caterpillars. The whitish webs
construcesi by the Insects are
only tan commonly seen On ne-
gler'ted f:•cit trees, and an roadside

csterpiil•ers may be readily k-11ed
by spraying 1ri'estcd trees with lead
arsenate 2 p;;undo in 40 gallons, or
by deetroy'ang the tents by hand
when the caterpillars are inside
them, which is usually on cloudy
days and early in the morning.
Burring the nests with a torch is
very egeetive, but care must be
taken not to gurn the tree.
It is pose ble to destroy these
early and thrs save labor and loss

many cases the damage to a certa

One erecaution is not to P

to put dry hay in barna that haw
leaky roofs. It is also risky t

With regard to elect:etc equipmen
it is dangerous, to use fuses' of to

Care should be taken to s:ee tha
lightning rode remain proper'
grounded, and defective electrlc
wiring should be repaired promptly
The nese of kerosene or gasolin
to kindle fires or quicken a sln
fire has been responsible no
only for many fires' but also fo
many deaths on farms and jus
because there has never been a

to neni,:a -precaution tinder the
belief t'.::'t the buildings will never
