Anderson's Gar ge Darning Notice re Corn AND rer Act Helpful Suggestions on Clean-up Your are hereby notified that the Corn Borer Act is in force in your county. This means that all corn must either be cut level with the ground and all remnants gathered and burned; or, if cut higher, the stubble must be ploughed under completely either this fall or next spring, and that any stubble or pieces of stalks dragged up again must be gathered and burned. If you are putting in winter wheat, remember that the field must first be cleaned from all corn remnants as outlined above SUGGESTIONS FOR LESSENING THE AMOUNT OF HAND-PICKING AND BURNING. 1. Cut the corn low. Low cutting attachments for binders are now avail- able, costing about $20.00. On small plots the corn with a hoe, not a sickle. 2. If the stubble is more than two inches high, crush it thoroughly before ploughing by running a heavy roller or planker over it twice, length. wise the rows; or disc it twice; or lift it out with a plough and level it with the the harrow. Crushing the stubble kills many borers. 8. Use a wide -farrow plough, never a narrow. Tractor ploughs should have a roller coulter and skimmer; walking ploughs a skimmer and a fin or high share or a knife coulter. Sometimes a chain or long wire is also necessary. 4. Never plough crosswise, but always lengthwise, •of the rows. 5. Plough 6 inches sleep, if possible, and run the last furrow before the stubble row as close to it as possible, so that on the next round' tete stubble will all fall flat into the furrow and. be buried completely. 6. Never plough when the ground is too dry to do a good job, 7. Spring ploughing usually results in less picking, but fall ploughing, especially after crushing the stubble, saves,time for other spring work, 8. When cultivating in spring, use a disc, and in sowing a disc drill. Toothed implements drag up the stubble 9. Rolling in spring before cultivating often helps to lessen the amount of stubble dragged up, PLOUGHING KILLS THE BORERS ONLY IF THE SURFACE IS CLEAN They nearly all come up to the surface after being ploughed' and, if there are no pieces of corn or stubble to chicle in, they perish from ex- posure or are destroyed by birds, ants, beetles or other enemies. SWEET CORN USUALLY SUFFERS MOST FROM BORERS; HENCE DO NOT OVERLOOK EVEN SMALL GARDEN PLOTS The best wayto deal with them is to leave thein until spring and then pull the stalks up plough or spade tlground, Every person, Nether he receives this notice or not, is required to comply with the Act. The inspector has been instructed to, enforce the Act without fear or favor. Nothing but thorough work will control the borer. by the roots and all coarse weeds, and burn them; then Issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture.

Keep as close ne is Safely possible to the rear of the car ahead and the result- ing reflection will give excellent iu- direct Illumination. The driver of the car ahead takes the glare from approaching machines. CORRECT CARE OF TUBES Tubes should be rolled flat with soft cotton between the layer,.. A strip of cotton flannel rolled up with a tube is excellent. 'Phe roll should then be placed in a thick cloth beg with the stem protruding and the mouth of the bag tied around the stem. It is a good plan to dust talc- urn powdca• in the bag. LUBRICATING THE COMMUT- ATOR. Grease should not be used for the lubrication of the commutator; cyli- nder 011 18 the proper lubricant, and it should be sparingly used. Tins applies to all commutators or ignition distributors. When grease is used in the commutator it is quite likely to prevent the distributor turn from making contact, and an annoying type of ignition trouble, ensues. THAT GRINDING NOISE When a grinding noise is heard in the transmission case, it will be found to be caused by one of the following conditions. Lubrication failure, either the oil' has leaked out or is too thin in body to do its appointed task; the shafts may be out of alignment, bearings may be badly worn or broken, or there may be clips from injured teeth in the case. Whatever the cause it should be run down and eliminated immediately. NEGLECT RUINS CAR Reckless driving will put a car in the junk pile in short order, but stupi- dity has accounted for many a "slow" wreck of a perfectly reliable machine. The reason is the average driver fails to consider the importance of lubri- cation. Without proper oiling a car cannot be expected to carry its owner mile after mile along the highways, no matter how good such highways may be. Few motorists think of proper lubrication. If they have to run their car a few hundred miles during the week, they put it away Saturday night, confident it will stand a long trip Sunday. The result is frequently a breakdown, for a car properly oiled and greased will last immeasurably longer than one neg- lected. WORTH REMEMBERING Never retard the spark to slow down the speed of an engine. This practice causes carbon formation and l putting of valves in addition to placing more work on the engine and causing a waste of fuel. When in the act of slowing down the speed of the engine, close the throttle, and as the engine speed dies, regulate the spark accordingly. If it is des- ired to cut down the speed of a env when in motion, close the throttle, disconnect the engine by means of the clutch and apply the brake:. When proper speed is attained speed up the engine slightly and engage the clutch slowly. Or close the engine throttle and allow the car to idle along to the speed wanted without disengaging the clutch. 'HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL When driving keep the hands on the sides of the steeringwheel, and as far apart as possible for good leverage, Never grip the wheel at the top or bottom with the hands close together. AUTOMOBILISTS ARE WARNED TO FOLLOW SIGNS' ADVICE When the motor wearer travel- ing a strange road encounters one of those signs which reads, in effect, "steep hill, go into second gear," it pays to take the advice literally. Many do not and with disastrous results. Ordinarily, these signs have been. erected only after the highway department has had experience which fully justifies their use. The fore- sighted motorist will realize this. CLEANING THE ENGINE Keep the engine clean. It will repay the extra effort. A spray p't- ntp run by electricity or compressed air is good, but where brush will not be able to reach spout is substiutecl. The .dirt can then be workeod down with a long -handled brush. If a spr- ayer is not availiable a tin can may be used to hold 'the liquid, but the brush will not able to reach every part reached by a sprayer. Nothing but kerosene should be used for this work. It cuts the grease and dick quickly and does not evaporate before working it down with a brush. It . gives a disagreeable smell when the engine is first heated up, but this soon pas- ses away. Gasoline is too `danger, ous to be employed in this work because there is always danger that some of it may not have evaporated. A flash of flame --•and the ear may be a total loss.

McKEo, 18 Laurier Ave., Toronto, Ontario. than usual, it is best to drop into low when using the engine as a brake in descending very steep hills. Mabbly wheels injure the tread of fires and wear out bearings. A derangement of one degree drags the wheel sideways 020 feet for each 1,000 miles travelled. If the car shows a tendency to skid when the four-wheel brakes are appli- ed try using the holding brakes simul- taneously. O£tee this will counte- ract the unequal adjustment of the service -brakes. Try to play fair with other drivers and never park a car near a high- way or street intersection with the headlights turned on. To those drivers it looks as if a moving car were about to cross their path. Hitting a deep hole with the brakes set is sure to result in broken springs. There is a double strain on the front springs if the brakes are applied when the wheels strike a hole or similar obstruction.

DISEASES IN FOREST TREES ALWAYS REMEMBER Pulp wood forests, like most other Remember always to apply the vegetation, are subject to loss by brakes gently. When brakes are `decay. To arrive at reasonable conclusions as to the cause of this condition and the practiability cf applying methods of control, the Botanical Division of the Experimen- tal Farms conducted a series of stud- ies in pulp wood timber limits in the province of Quebec. The work was carried on by Mr. A. W. McCallum, Forest Pathologist, who has issued a report of his findings in Bulletin No. 104 of the Department of Agri- culture at Ottawa. The studies were confined to decays in balsam fir in which it was found that three decays of importance were discovered, one that effects the heart of the tree, and two that attack the butts. These are designated red rot, feather rot, and brown rot. The red rot, it was found, gains it entrance to the heart jammed hard it puts a severe strain on the tires and may cause one wheel to lock and slide, wearing the tread at that point. Judge the distance and momentum, and stop by using brakes as little as possible. CHECK UP Car owners miss an opportunity 1f they fail to check up on the condition of the valve springs when cleaning carbon. Many of them do fail to do this. Furthermore, if the carbon job is turned over to the service station, it pays to specify a checkup on the springs as part of the work. A weak valve spring contributes a good deal to poor engine performa- nce. It is doing so in a great many instances every hour of the clay, and needlessly, ' wood principally by the way of BE SURE. branch stubs, while the butt rots Be sure the car is standing on level enter their 'host cheifly through the ground when oil is acicled to the roots. it was further discovered that these rots do not occur until the'cree arrives at a considerable age, and it is this fact which will enable,.sembly roost of the Goderich Cel- improvement. the forester to manage the stand so as to avoid loss of this nature to a large estent. For instance, in the Lake St. Joint county it was found that decay in balsam fir does not become serious until the stand has reached 80 years of age. With this knowledge the forester is in a position to fix the rotation, or approximate length of time for which the stand is to be allowed to grow, with some assurance that at the time of harvesting the crop will not have been seriously effected by decay. It is only in this way that decay In forest trees can be cin - trolled. for under present enonomic conditions expenditure of stoney for direct control treasures would bo prohibitive. • The bulletin, which 10 obtainable from the Publications Branch of the Department of agri- culture at Ottawa, should be of in- terest to pulp manufacturers, stude- nts of forest pathology, and to others who aro interested in the lumbering industry. MINISTER HONORED BY THREE CHARGES Rev. W. B. Hawkins Who Is Going to Forest, Given Well -Filled Purse Blyth, Oct. 5.—A very pleasing event took place in Memorial Hall where the congregations of Trinity church, Blyth; Trinity, Belgrave, and St. Mark's, Auburn, assembled to bid farwell to Rev. W. 33. Hawkins prior to his departure for his new pariah at Forest, Chas, Watson, Belgrave, read an address and George Hamil- ton of Auburn made the presentation in the form of a purse containing a handsome sum of money.. During the evening, Wilma, tit charming little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Watson, presented Mrs. Hawkins with a beautiful bouquet of roses. At a meeting of the Maple Leaf Club held at the home of Miss Pearl Gidley recently, Mrs. (Rev) W. B. Hawldns, who has been a valued member of the club, was presented with a pretty set of candlesticks, accompanied by a fitting address, as a token from the members on her leaving town, Members of the W. A, and Ladise' Guild of the congregation of Trinity cahurch. assembled at the home of Mrs .F, . Rogerson on Wednesday, showed their appreciation to the worth of their beloved member, Mrs. Hawkins by presenting her with a life member's certificate and an address. Members of. the Hawkins family were recipients of gifts from their school friends showing the esteem in which the whole family were held in town and community and the re- gret that is felt at their departure.

WEND R6 if JEWELER WROXETER WEST HURON TEACHERS HOLD ANNUAL SESSION New Inspector, E. Beacom, Is Intro- duced at Goderich Convention, Goderich, Oct. 11—The 51st an- nual convention of the West Huron Teachers' Association opened at Vic- toria School, Goderich, today, and will continue tomorrow. One hun- dred and thirty-two teachers regis- tered at today's sessions. The pre- sident, Miss I. E. Sharman, principal of Central. School, Goderich, occup- ied the chair. At the morning session J. E. Tom, E who recently retired from the posi- ition of inspector, gave an address and then introduced the new inspect- or, E. Beacom. Mr. Beacom said Ise ; wished to assist the teachers in every • way possible and hoped for their co- operation in the interests of the boys and girls. Miss Anna Woods, of Bayfield, spoke on primary work and Mrs. Koehler, of Zurich, on first book work. The report of the On- tario Educational Association was given by Miss L. Robinson, of Gode- ridh, and G. S. Howard, of Exeter. At the afternoon session Mr. Pick- les, of the London Normal School, gave an interesting address on man- ual training. He spoke of manual training as a benefit in developing character as well as useful in co - relation with other subjects. Se- cond -book work was taken by Hiss G. Mason, of Exeter. In the evening the teachers Were entertained at a concert in the es- legiate Institute, t TONGUE SALAD A tasty salad for a warm day: Three cupfuls diced cooked tongue. 11 cupful diced cooked carrots, 3cieup- iful chopped green peppers, 4.cup- j fun chopped pimentoes, salt and pap- rika. Mix together and add French dressing to blend. Chill, Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce with a dab of mayonnaise atop each serving. OCCASIONALLY Don't get in the habit of using too many cream sauces on things. They • are very apt to make a number of i •vegetables and meats taste alike and therefore very monotonous. AN UNLOVELY SIGHT Cut flowers are beautiful in the home, but they are anything but bear utiful if allowed to die in their holdera' and then not thrown out. CROSSWISE Kimona aprons and dresses should: be ironed from side to side instead of lenthwgise to p"rev: nt that ugly sagging at the side seams. BLUNTED NEEDLES If you should blunt your machine needle and bare no other on hand to replace it, stitch for a few incbes through fine sandpaper. It will sharpen the point beautifully, ACHING FEET Summertime frequently brings Sts= oilen and tired feet to the persost who must bo on them all day. A. handful of Epsom salts in a foottutt of hot water is a splendid solution. to ease those aching feet. Soak them for about an hour and note the A THOUGHT FOR OTHERS Pass, on the magazines when the family has read them. There are ple- nty of institutions that will welcome them and much good will be done with little effort and no expense on your part, USEFUL HINTS Furniture polish will clean patent leather shoes beautifully. Never chop chicken or celery for salad. Dice it carefully with a sharp knife. A 'little salt added to the bluing will prevent the clothes from being streaked with color. A bowl of lime in the closet with. the preserrves and jellies will prevent mold from forming on the tops of the jars. Why should you always be having trouble? rl THER fellows use the same tires, run the same distance, cover the same roads—and have no trouble at all. Test your tire pressure every week. Don't guess it — gauge it. Run round to a Dominion Tire Depot and have the pressure checked and your tires inspected. Let an expert search for cuts and bruises. A slight repair in time may prevent a blowout, and add a, few thousand miles to the life of your tires. You are never far away from a 229 NI TIRE DEPOT E. C Cunningham DEALER —�- —• -- BRUSSELS
