In a special bul- letin he makes the following an- nouncement: The highest yielding varieties of several classes of farm crops en On- tario have been originated at the Ontario Agricultural College through hybridization and selection. Lead- ing varieties of other classes of farm crops have been secured locally or through importation. The co-oper- ative experiments to be conducted throughout Ontario in 1926 through the medium of the Experimental Un- ion will contain some of the very best varieties of farm crops as de- termined in past years by experi- ments conducted at the Ontario Ag- ricultural College. The following list indicates the material available for the co-operative tests for 1926: 1, three varieties of oats; 2, 0. A. C.

PROGRESSIVE MERCHANTS ADVERTISE Issued by Clariadian Weekly Ne apemen; Aseociation N.. Her Own Detective A Girl Suspect C -:.ars Herself By ELINOR MARSI-I We were a "bunch" of a dozen boys end girls, averaging in age perhaps seventeen years. We were young enough to get up parties on the prine eiple of "Duteb treat" and not old enough for a boy to feel that if he asked one of the girls to go to an amusement be must hire a carriage for the purpose of taking her. We had mformal dances in each other's houses and each boy WUS detailed, as they say in the army, to escort a partdcular girl td the dance. In this way all the girls were transported without doubling up. All went well, and we were having a merry time when Roy Stivers, one of the boys who had gone sweet 071 a girl outside the set, insisted on introducing her among us. We girls were not pleased at the introduction of one we knew nothing about, but we yielded gracefully, and I consented to Roy bringing her to a deuce that was to come off at my house. It is marvelous how a nice, well bred boy will go daft on a girl entirely out of his sphere and in every way be- aeath him. The moment we girls saw Roy's friend, Sarah Stearns, we knew that a firebrand had been introduced among us. But it is easier to let a per- son into a social clique than to get him or her out Roy was one of our nicest fellows, and we did not wish to offend him. Sarah Stearns was not invited again to any of our little dances, but Roy asked her to go with him on ex- cursions, theater parties and the like. He was the only soa of a widow who gave him all the money he wished and, among other luxuries, a splendid mo- torcar. He was accustomed to take us all out in it between dances when we were holding our informal parties, and also took us on longer rides. Of course we could not object to his inviting Sarah to go on exeursions in his car, and while so enger.ed we endeavored to treat her civilly. Just before the spcing opened Roy in- vited us all to go tc his mother's coun- try place for a week end. Of course Sarah Stearns would be of the parte', Roy being at liberty to invite whom he pleased to his On'll home. Two-thirds of our "hunch" accented, and Boy took us to our destination in his car. Tlie others would not go on account te Sarah Stearns being of the enu•ty. I wished very much to enjoy the fun, but Eleanor Trevor was my particular girl chum, and she was one who in. tended to stay away. I persuaded her to go, however, since my pleasure de- pended oil her doing so. Roy's mother acted as chaperon and did all ill her power to make our stay in her house enjoyable. Oue evening we were dancing when all of a sudden the electric lights ceased to glow, and we were left in total darkness. My friend Eleanor was dancing with Charlie Hunt at the time. Charlie, like Roy, was given everything be wanted, and among other things he possessed was a valuable gold watch. Soon after the lights were extinguished there was a tug at his watch chain and, feeling for it, he found it broken. Etis watch was gone. He was dancing with Eleanor when the darkness came, and of course they ceased to whirl and dis- eugaged themselves. Five minutes later, when the ligiets continted to glow, they were still standing near each other. Charlie, not wishing to mar our fes- tivities, said nothing nt the time about the loss of the watch, but the matter soon leaked out An unpleasant fea- ture of the matter was tbat he was dancing with Eleanor when the lights went out, and the logical infereuce was that she had relieved hint of it. Never- theless, none of us believed anything of the kind. Our host was very much troubled. It was evident that there was a thief among us. So far as circumstantial evidence was concerned it pointed to Eleanor Trevor, She knew nothing about Charlie's loss or the position in which she stood until I told her. She was not a person to cringe under such circumstances. With woman's intui- tion she at once spotted Sarah Stearns as being at the bottom of the trouble. Sho did not believe that Sarah had stolen the evatcb for the watch itself. but that she might inculpate Eleanor, Eleanor's theory was tbat Sarah had seen her dancing with Charlie when the lights had gone out and an 09901'- tunity had appeared to her of penish- ing the girl who she knew was in fa- vor of ostracizing her from our set. But Eleanor told no one except me of her suspicion, and 1 confess it seemed to me rather farfetched, though I did not say thie to Eleanor. "I've got a detective problem on my hands," said Eleanor to me, 'land I'm especially interested in working it out. I wish you would give me the cold sboulder and ask the other girls be do the same." "Why so?" I asked. "There's not one of us that believes for a moment e that you aro a thief," "It will put Sarah Stearns off her guard and give me a beeter chanee. If she took the watch -and I am sure she did -she must get rid of it. I'll take all poselble pains to see tbat she doeen't send it away. I shall hem) fib eye on her all the While and mete everything ;she does," "I Will OM you in hat," 2 eakb te 2e tee 4 eiltielletted The incident occurred on Saturday evening. All day Sunday either Elea nor Or I kept watch on Sarah. Sunday afternoon $110 started with n letter in her hand for the postotlece, 2 tole her Met I had written a letter that I wish cel mailed. She offered to mail it for me. 1 went to ray menu for it, and when I came down had my hat and coat on and told her that I would go with her. To that she assented with at hetet apparent willingness, Whethee or no she was going to get rid of the watch, she bad uo chance to do so, for I did not lot her out of my sight for a moment. Elem.= interfered with her going out latex* in the evening to take the air on the porch. We all went to bed early or at least to our rooms, We girls were roomed on the second floor, and each was given a room to herself Eleanor was ia my room till 11 o'clock. She said she expected to be up all night to see that Sarah Stearns did not get rid of the watch, and her watch would not commence till all in th,e house were supposed to be asleep. "What are you going to do?"l asked. "I'm going to stay in the hall." "Go to bed," I urged. "None of us believes that you are a thief. Besides, you are acting ou a theory. You will lose your sleep for nothing." "I have more chance of success than you think," she said. "Charlie has been very nice to me and has told me certain things about the watch that it is well for me M know." "Then he knows you are hunting for it?" "No, what he told Inc was said casu- ally. But he does not believe I robbed him. At least be says he doesn't" "But I don't see how any mark on the watch can do you any good except to identify it when you have got it, and you will have to get it before you can identify it." Eleanor made no reply to this, She simply kissed me good night and event to ber room. I was a long while get- ting to sleep, but when I did 1 slept till 4 o'clock in the morning, when I was awakened by her. She told me that she had been awake all night and asked me to get up and continue the watch that she might get some sleep. I did as she asked, but it was evident that slee had failed, and I believed she was on a wild goose chase. She was up for an 8 o'clock tweak - fast and looked quite fresh, consider- ing that she had gone to bed so late. During the day I helped her occasion- ally in her vigil and again prevented Sarah Stearns from going out alone. This time I could see that she sus- pected me, though she concealed the fact quite well. "The party is to break up tomorrow," said Eleanor to me. "We were only invited tin Tuesday morning. Either I must get that watch tonight or remain smirclied for the rest of my life." I assured her that sbe was not nor ever would be smirched by any one of us, to which she replied that Sarah Stearns would spread the matter abroad in a way that could not be countered. Roy took us to drive during the after- noon. Eleanor feigned a headache and remained at home. She charged Inc to keep my eyes upon Sarah Stearns every moment. I suggested to Eleanor that she was remaining at home that she iniiht search for the missing watch, but sbe said that would be useless, for if Sarah had left it she had uudoubted- ly hidden it in a safe place, but she believed Sarah had it with her, and Eleanor relied on me to see that she (Ma not get rid of it during the ride. I did my wore, but without results. That night, when Eleanor and I went to our rooms, as we passed Sarah Stearns' room I saw Eleanor look up at the transom. Then she went with me into my room and took from my closet a bamboo stick with a book ou one end and carried it away to her room. Just before 3 in the morning she came into my room and, holding Iter watch to my ear, asked me if I could hear it tick. I told her that I could hear 'it very distinctly. She re- moved it farther and farther from me, with each removal asking me if I could still bear it tick. When she had taken It some four or five yards from me I could still hear it. "That will do," she said. "Your ear Is far more keen than Thine. It is now a few minutes before 3. Come with rue." She led me by the hand through the darkness to Sarah Stearns' door. Then she took the bamboo stick with the hook on the end and, feeling care- fully for the transom by means of the hook, pulled it partly open. accom- plishing the work without the sligliteet sound. Tbis done, she put her arms trronna my knees and lifted me so that my ear was near the transom. She had held me there perhaps three min- utes when 1 heard what sounded like a far distant chime faintly strike the hour of 3. "Put me down," 2 whispered to Elea- nor. "Have you heard anything?" asked Eleanor. "Yes; a chime," She lowered Inc to the floor and, throwing ber arras around my neck, gave me a bear bug, "Now go and awaken some of the girls and, bring them here," she 'said. I did bet' bidding and collected every girl in the hall, Then Eleanor turned on the electric light and knocked gen- tly on Sarah's doot, The door Was unlocked, and eve all Went into the room Eleanor went to the bed and from under a pIlloev took out tbe lost watch. There was a chime etrike In It and Eleanor, knowing this, had based het operations on hearing it.

Of the total amount the United Kingdom took 11,750,000 pounds while Sweden was second on the list with 2,250e- 000 pounds. A commission of three professors in agriculture will make a survey of the province of Ontario to aseertain the soils best adapted to the culture of tobacco. The commission will act under instructions from the Minister of Agriculture. Soil tests are to be made on various farms and also at the government experi- mental stations within the tobacco districts. Government statistics show that the average wages per month paid to farm helpers in the summer of 1925 over the whole Of Canada was $40 for men and $22 for women. The value of board received was reckoned at $23 for men and $19 for women. The total received, therefor, for wages and board in 1925, was $63 per month for men and $43 for women.

Stothers, agricultural repre- sentative for the County of Huron. (London Free Press) A remarkable work in agriculture is being carried on throughout Hur- on County which is directly attribut- able to S. B. Stothers, agricultural representative for that county. Huron County opened the office of the department of agriculture at Clinton in March, 1918, . and will have completed eight years of con- tinuous service on March 10, during which time its heaviest and most con- tinuous line of work in the county has been the question of school fair% and it now boasts the largest numIer of school fairs in any county in 'the province, conducting 22 of these school fairs in 1925. The following statistic's will give an idea of school fair work in the county: Number of fairs, 22; number of entires, 11,511; attendance, children, 3,800; adults, 8,700. Short course work has been quite a feature in each and every year since its inception, and since the in- auguration of the three-month short course in agriculture and home ec- onomics, one is held each year, com- mencing at Wingham and then going to Clinton, Exeter, Brussels • and Fordwich in this order. These cour- ses have been well received in prac- tically every part of the county, and it is the usual custom, as in other counties, to organize o Junior Farm- ers' Association and Ju4.:•er Women's Institute at the close. These carry on extension and community work as they see fit in their various coin - OMENS OF THE OCEAN. Contorts Things About Sea Supersti- tions-Parsone Not Welcome.

That "rats leave the sinking ship" WO all know, but it is doubtful if sailors take much notice of that now- 9,days. It was believed that rats knew when a ship was downed and would scurry off before she sailed. Indeed, they may emnetimea be seen running shoreward along the haw - sere just before the vessel's depar- ture -though that may be because they do not want a sea voyage.

'During the past year the two features of the work have been fruit work and work amongst the poultry neon. Huron County has 10,000 to 12,000 acres of oichard, and by far the larger per- teentage of it is in very bad shape. Having been neglected for so long it is yielding little or no income. During the past two years attempts have been made to do something and put new life in this industry. In 1924 the first fruit show was held, and in 1925 spray service was C0111- rnenced along the lines of such spray service in other 'counties. By this scheme individual farmers were giv- en personal instructions and atten- tion with reference to fruit growing and it was satisfactorily demonstrat- ed that cleart fruit can be produced if we only give the care and atten- tion necessary. This work will be en- larged in 1926. The poultry cuffing campaign started with the Auburn Egg Circle, which is aided with reference to shipping a carload of live poultry to the American market. An extensive campaign was carried on to elimin- ate the boarder hen. A training school was conducted and six men trained for the culling of poultry. Briefly stated, the success of the campaign is best measured by the amount of culling done. There were eulled 265 flocks, with • 23,189 birds. The number of nonproducers in this was found to be 7,538. The alfalfa campaign for 1926 is another feature evhich is demand- ing a good deal of attention. The0 meetings have already been held in the county, averaging an attendance of 100 t 0150. The hay situation is more or less acute, owing to the par- tial failure of the 1925 crop, .and vvo look for a heavy sowing of this crop in 1926. armlet Youitioners sometimes' ciy*d the white patches of other cats and. brought them aboard. ' But the dog was quite another matter, and the presence of one on the ship was always unlucky.
