The Village Smithy Stands
The above lines of Oliver Gold-
smith might well be paraphrased
in these days and time M "used
to stand." Blacksmith shops in
Ontario are becoming almost es
ecaree as fried :chicken at the
North Pole. It is a serious aitus-
tion froni a fanning standpoint
and fully realized by the Ontario
Plowmen's Association,
The cream of Canadian and On-
tario plowmen will be Competing
for the highest plowing honors in
the world at the International
Match at .11inesing, near Barrie,
October 11, 12, 13 and 14 this year
so why not have horseshoeing
compeeilions for the farmers'
friend, the blacksmith, reasoned
officials of the Ontario Plowmen's
Association. With th1a thought in
mind, conenetitions for mature
and junior blacksmiths will be
held each day et 2 p.m, during the
match, Prize lists and rules may
be, obtained by writing to Bert
Guest, Guthrie, cbairmau of this
committee, or to J. A. Carroll,
Parliament Buildings, Toronto,
Ontario,
Mr, Carroll, secretary o.f the
International,* is most enthusias-
tic over the horseshoeleg contests.
"We will awaye have horses,
good horses, and Caro must be tak-
en of their feet," said Mr, Carroll.
"We will either have to have more

LOW CUTTING OF CORN
HELPS CONTROL BORER
Professor L. Caesar, Provincial
Entomol•igist, 0.A,C., Guelph,
nogcs low canting of corn this fall
as a help in the control or the bor-
er and as a means of avoiding the
un leesant task of handepieking
stubble In the spring, Professor
Caesar writes as follows:
"There is a ktrge crop oh corn
almost all over the province this
fall and as a result many persons
will be tempted to cut it high. TQ
deo so would be a mistake because
the borer is decidedly more abun-
dant this year fin most counties
than usual and aura care wilt
have to go taken to hold it in con-
trol. Long stubble means that
several trues as many borers Will
be left In the fields atter remov-
ing the stalks' as there would bo
1f the corn had bean cut low.
Moreover it is very much More
ddff1celt to plow long stubble en-
der .completely and not drag it up
again. in spr(ug when working lite
field; hence fanners wishing to
avoid the necessity oe hand-pick-
ing their fields next spring should
enc their corn as low as predic-
able,
In J1ssew and }Colt, .there fort
nnmtely there has been soave• re.

thousands of acres are beim! out

1n addition to cutting tow, we
advise running a planieer or level-

hR Temperance Act
el No, 2—The Reason for Its Revival
g Provisions for 'mhtaicilla+t local
r option, which had become a part 01
Ole lltuntclpal Mt but had somehow
been draRPed, were In the early
111100ties revived and incorporated
into the Liquor License Aot of On-
tario. They provided for prohi-
bition of retail sale In taverns and
Whops in vdilsgas, towns, cities and
townships. Being Pant of the
License Act, there was no question
as to respansibllkty for enforce-
ment, The law which became
operative on a simple majority was
popular and was widely utilized in
Ontario.
'Sir James Whitney, whose en-
forcement of tre law was particu-
larly vigorous, early in his regime
introduced the fegulrement of a
slbty per cent, nlajerity of a
greatly retarded the progress• of the
local iption movement,
In the years 1914 and 1915, sever-
al counliee in Ontario, having
carded restriction of sale by muni-
cipal local option as: far as seemed
possible with the sixty per cent,
ltanddcap, found the persistent sale
in municipalities remaining under
lecense a nuisance and such a
menace to the. success of the local
option law that to clean up so far as
possible a witer area and protect
their own people they reverted to
the county measure, the Canada'
Temperance Act. This did nob
destroy the existence of local op-
tion, or the various provisions of
the License law. Its only effect
on that Act was in regard to prose-
cution for sale. It paralleled these
provisions in the provincial Act and
in so far as, it did so, took prece-
dence over them. The two laws op-
erated concurrently, charges. for
sale being laid under .the Canada
Temperance Act and other charges'
under the Liquor License Law The'
duel operation of ,the provincial
and Dominion law was continued
under the. Ontario Temperance Act'
u31 till the time of the suspension'
which occurred about 1920.
CURRENT CROP REPORT
Yields per acre of spring grains
are considerably hyper in 0111-
aria than in 1937 and 1936, in both
of which years yields were below
nolnn01 Present estimates intri-
cate that the yield of spring
wheat, oats, and .bailey will be
Just about normal. Fall wheat
was below average with a large
quantity of tie grain produced In
the northern counties of Western
Ontario lather poor due to
shrunken kernels caused by rust
and late frosts. 'Oats are gener-
ally reported to be of good qual-
ity, but barley is only fair to good
with some discolourings and a con-
siderable amount of light grain,
Rust -resistant varieties od spring
wheat are of good quality, but the
nonereseetant types were affected
by rust, especially in Eastern on -
(ark,
The yaields of spring wheat 8or
Ontario as a whole is' now esti-
mated at 18.. bushels in 1937
and a preceideng ten-year average
of 19,2 bushels. Oats are placed at
46,7 bushels ,per acre as counlparod
with 32.6 bushels last year and a
ten-year average or 33.7 bushels.
For barley the yields are 31,5
23.8; and 40.6 ibushels per acre
for the samne periods respectively,
and fall wheat 27.0 36.0; and 24,7
bushels. The first estimtae for
hay and clover production shows
the aveeage for the province at
1.69 tons per acre, which is the
same as a year ago, with the field
in Southern, Western and Central
Ontaro louver .than in 1937, slight-
ly higher in Eastern Ontario and
considerably greater On Northern
Ontario.
Pastures are reported lir good
coudIton for this time of year in
Practically all counties except
Middlesex, South Simcoe, and the
four or five counties along the St.
Lawrence River where supple-
mentary feeding of dairy cows has
been resorted to o11 account of
.poor pasturage. Milk flow dur-
ing August was well maintained
and was above no1v101. Live
11odic are in average to slightly
above average condition,
Late mope generally give prani-
ise of good yields, with the ex-
ception of potatoes `vh.:ch are
reported to be below average in
most counties due to inserts, dry
weather, and blight. In many
fields the number of tubers per
13111 is reduced, although the +size
and quality are good. The main
crop of buckwheat is now in full
blossomy and promises a very good
yield throughout, but in the noun-
ties along the .St. Lawrence 1101
weather which prevailed at a
critical period will result in be-
low average yeld.s, 'Corn for en-
silage has matured unusually
early this season and silo -Riling

Western Ontario the crop was

above average. Turnips, and naan-
golds are developing well and
