"We will awaye have horses, good horses, and Caro must be tak- en of their feet," said Mr, Carroll.

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. ductionof the borer this year, thousands of acres are beim! out level with the ground by a short heavy hoe, Solite individuals there have cut as mum, ase 50 to 200 acres In 111s waY, Wher corn Is crit level win. else 5100(11 1""'l Some Brief Notes r the regttlwtions allow the forme to dispense with g wishes to do so, althengb plowtn even in each cases is :advocate as a help in still Wither lesseu:n the number of borers. 011ie countries are also beginning to Use the hoe, and all, who do so are well pleased with 'the result, Where binders' are used they should be set to cut at 4 inches' if the surface of the held will permit this. 1n addition to cutting tow, we advise running a planieer or level- ler consisting of four ten inch planks lapped one on another, over the stubble in both directions to break it off, This makes: coir Mete burial easier and at the same time kills a goon many bor- ers." of the Canada r' 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 commenced in Eastern Ontario timing the last week of August. Iu Western Ontario the crop was 33:er•mlittel to grow longer owing to More favourable moisture condi- tions and silo -filling was exper'ted to he general about September 10th, The yield if fodder corn is above average. Turnips, and naan- golds are developing well and with co0itinuatece of good weather dining the next lolly' weeks should produce better than average crops, WALKER 'S FUNERAL HOS WIlllam Street, Brussels, Ontario PERSONAL ATTENDANCE 'Phone 65 Day or Night Gallo MOTOR HEARSE B G, WALKER 6 rebalmer and Funeral Director.
