TO CHATHAM MAN
J. C. Graham Victim of Motor Col-,
lisiou Near Hensall—Cars Meet; at
Corner—John Essen, St, Thomas,
and Companion Escape Injury.
Hensel], Oct. 21,—J, C. Graham; of
Chatham, representative of the Ren-
nie Seed Company, of Toronto, died
here this evening from injuries re-
ceived a couple of hours earlier in a
Motor ear accident on the London
Road, just .out -side of Hensall.
Mr. Graham was alone in a small
car and had just left Hensall and
was on his way to Exeter when be
was met, when turning at the London
read corner, by a larger ear driven
by Jack Essen, of St, Thomas, who
was accompanied by Richard Hindey,
of the same city, who were coming
into Hensel!. The Esson ear struck
the machine of Mr. Graham at the
corner, driving it into the ditch and
badly wrecking it. The occupant
was badly cut about the head and
taken to Mrs. Patterson'a private hos-
pital here, and was unconscious whet?
admitted. The accident occurred a-
bout 4 o'clock this afternoon and
death came at 6.80 this evening.
From the first examination doctors
knew that the case was critical, as the
patient was suffering from serious
concussion.
A post-morto)n examination of de-
ceased is bating held this evening by
Coroner Dr. Hyndman. of Exeter,
and Dr. Shaw, of, Clinton.
The late Mr. Graham, who was a
resident of Chatham, had been corn-
ing to Hensall here and throughout
the district. Ile leaves a widow and
two children.

Hensall, Oct. 21.—The body of
Prank Fitzgerald, well-known and
highly respectedresident of this dis-
trict, was found hanging in the barn
on his farm a few miles east of here
at noon today. While a formal cor-
oner's statement has not been issued,
suicide is presumed.
The late Mr. Fitzgerald was a pas-
senger in a motor car with Trueman
Brintnell some time ago when the lat-
ter was seriously injured at Lucan
Crossing, through the car the latter
was driving running into a railway
engine. While Mr. Fitzgerald es-
caped physical injury upon that oc-

the accident he was at times unac-
countably depressed and it is felt
by his friends that his action today
was the outcome of such an attack.
Mr. Fitzgerald had long been a'
resident here and stood in high re-
spect. He leaves a widow and four
children.
Former Huron Co.
Rector -Is Retiring
Rev. Canon C. R. Gunne Ends His
Ministry Extending Over 32
Years
Diocesan authorities announces the
retirement of Rev, Canon Charles
Robert Gunne from the active minis-
try of the church after the end of the
present year, .
Canon Gunne was born in Fior-
ence, Lambton County, ' Ontario, the
son of the Rev. John Gunne, pioneer
Anglican clergyman of the province.
He took holy orders in 1893, being
ordained to the diaconate in that
year after preliminary studies at
Trinity University in Toronto, and
was pricsted the following year.
After being stationed in various
rural parishes in Huron diocese, the
canon was named in 1911 to the rec-
torship, of Christ church, London,
from which position he is now retir-
ing. In the year 1914, Mr. Gunne
was named honorary canon of St.
Paul's cathedral, London.
On account of advancing years
Canon Gunne is retiring after 32
years devoted to the service of the
church
Rev. Canon Gunne was a former
rector of the Gerrie Anglican church
and at Clinton for a number of
years.

Government Will Help
to Market Apples
"From the stanpoint of quality,
this year's apple crop is one of the
best Ontario has ever gathered," said
Hon, John S. Martin, Minister of,
Agriculture. "In view of this fact,
the government feels justified in par-
ticularly commending it to the people.
of Ontario and elsewhere. We. have
a special interest in the crop because
in the early growing months we were
able to render considerable assistance
to the growers in spraying the trees
and the application of the best meth-
ods of production. Partly clue to this
fact an extraordinary percentage of
the crop will grade No. 1. We feel
that the consumers should take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to secure
this high class orchard product. It
will be available everywhere at mod-
erate prices. •
"In order to facilitate the market-
ing of thieesplendid crop," the Min-
ister added, "the Department is ren-
dering assistance in two ways. In the
first place, it is supervising the grad-
ing and handling, and guaranteeing.
the prier in connection with exports
of certain leading standard varieties;
to the. extent of 126,000 barrels. Most
of this will go into undeveloped near•
kets and as it will bear the Govern-
ment stamp as to quality, it is ex-
pected to establish the name of On
tatio for apples of high 'quality. A.
large portion of the crop will, of
course, go to the British market and
the Western market, but there will
be plenty for the people in. Ontario.
'in order to bring this opportunity to
the attention of all the people, the
Department is sponsoring an adver-
tising campaign which will place the
value of apples prominently before
the consumer by means of the daily
and weekly press. Consumers will not
only get good value for their money
but will also assist in establisihng
utero firmly an important branch of
our fruit industry. The apples will
be handled through the regular chan-
nels of trade and all that is necessary
for the consumer'io do IL to ask for
Ontario apples.'
Behind the advertising •of Ontario
apples will be an intensive mer-
eiiandising effort in which all fruit
dealers, wholesale and vetell, and all
growers ate invited to co-operate.

only about 60c a pound, and a pound
will treat once -a very large kitchen
and usually would be sufficient for
all the treatments for an ordinary
private house.
The method of applying is to put
the mixture into a, can with a per-
forated 11d„ or into a salt -cellar, and
then dust it moderately heavily along
the floor beneath the water pipes and
sinks, on the window sills, in the back

The substance kills both by con-

feet and body to remove the powder
when they happen to run over it.
A small dust gun or bellows, cost-
ing about $1.60, is an excellent thing
to apply the powder with, and is
much superior to the dusting can,
as It enables a personto blow the
substance into cracks and crevices
where the Insects may be hiding and
where they Lould not be reached by
the can.
How to Prepare for Treatment.
Before each treatment sweep the
room well, and (hely leave the Pow-
der undisturbed for several days.
Sweep up again and make another
application. This may have to be re-
peated several times, and each time
care should be taken to discover, if
possible, overlooked areas and treat
them. Usually two or three dustings
will destroy almost all the cock-
roaches, even in a large institution,
but sometimes -it le en difficult to find
all the hiding places that several
applications will be necessary. All
that is required, however, ..to eradi-
cate the pest is care and persever-
ance. That the powder does kill the
cockroaches will be shown plainly
after the first treatment; for in a
day's time numerous cockroaches will
be found dead here and there over
the floor.
The above treatment is the cheap-
est the writer knows, and much more
effective than any spray that can bo
given, because it remains active as
long as left on the floor, whereas the
sprays are only effective at the time
of application, and only. If they hit
the insects --J. L. Caesar, 0. A. Col-

Bot Flies.
Measures should be to pre-
, vent horses becoming infested with
the larvae of bot flies by protecting
them from the egg laying attackof
the parent fly. The clipping of the
,.long hairs from the region of the
head, breast, shoulders. and legs af-
fords some protection in that it re-
duces the probability of the fly being
able, to attach Its eggs. The areas
where the egg laying fly usually de-
posits her eggs should be frequently
soaked with oil or grease. This pre,
vents the eggs from adhering to the
hair Pieces of cotton or cheesecloth

such a manner as to cover the under
surface of the jaws, the breast and

The water so polluted should be
ateriltsed before being used tor

be accomplished either by boiling the
water or by the addition of a suit-
able disinfectant. The disinfectant
most suitable for this purpose is a
hypochlorite solution.

tic,atlon.
This hypochlorite solution may be
prepared and applied as follows:
1. Mix one-half pound of chloride
of Lime (33 per cent. available
chlorine) with one pint of water.
2. Add sufficient water to make
one gallon,
3. Dissolve 13 ounces of sal soda
crystals lo two quarts of lukewarm
water.

6. Pour off the clear liquid from
the white sediment into a jug and fill
into bottles, well stoppered, and keep
cool in a dark place. This "stock i
hypochlorite" will contain approxi-
' mately the equivalent of 3 per cent.
of chloride of lime or 1 per cent. of
available chlorine.
i • Application.
Mix one ounce of this stock 'solu-
tion to five gallons of water that is
to be used for drinking purposes. i
After mixing allow to stand for half
an hour before use. -
The solution may be added in small
quantities to water atter it has been
drawn from the well, or, the quantity
of water inthe well or cistern may

(Contributed by Onta TorDepartment of
Agr ou ture, ... nit )
The methods of control are sim-
ple, inexpensive - and not contrary to
good farm practices, Says Prof. L.
Caesar of the Department of Entom-
elegy, Ontario Agricultural College.
To get a clear idea of this pest it la
necessary to keep in mind that the
borers winter over and remain until
the end of May in any part of the
corn plant above ground large enough
to conceal• them, Hence they will be
found to the stalks, stubble, cobs, or
any remnants of the crop left in the
field or elsewhere. They will also be
to some extent in stout weeds grow-
ing among the corn. Control meas-
ures, therefore, consist mainly in so
treating these that the borers will
be,, destroyed. If there is a silo this
is easy, for all that is necessary then
is to out the crop low, ensile it,
Plough the stubble under completely
and not drag it up again when cul-
tivating. The cutting knives and
fermentation kill all the,. borers that
go into the silo, and the ploughing
destroys all left in the field, provided
everydiring is kept beneath the
surface,
Plough the Field Thoroughly.
If there is no silo, or if the silo
will not hold all tbe corn, the task
is sometimes a little harder. In such
cases the fteld must be thoroughly
ploughed after the crop has been re-
moved. In addition some method
must be practiced of disposing of the
stalks and ears or cobs. The best
plan is to run .all of them through a
cutting -box or shredder, feed the cat-
tle all they will eat, throw the re-
mainder into the manure and haul
•this out and plough it under before
the end of May. If for any reason
the stalks are fed whole, the uneaten
portion should not be thrown out in-
to the manure, .but should be kept
separate and drawn out and burned.
It is better to burn the remnants
than to plough them under, because
it Is hard to over them completely
with the plough. The great point to
keep in rabid is that no stalks, pieces
of stalks or even cobs should be left
above ground in the field or
along fences or in the barn or
the barnyard or anywhere else.
Moreover, all burning or ploughing
.mustbe completed by the end of
May, for otherwise the borers will
change into moths; fly around, and
lay their eggs. (The moths appear
in June and July).
Leave Stubble and Other Remnants
Buried.
Ploughing down of the stubble and
other corn remnants plays a great
part in the control of the borers, but
to be effective what is ploughed un-
der must not be dragged up again
when cultivating the field, but must
'be left buried, for iffehey are dragged
up many borers will escape destruc-
tion. An example of this occurred
this year in a field in Elgin County,
where much of the ploughed stubble
was dragged up by a toothed cultiva-
tor. In thisdeld over 10,000 livid$
borers were found. It the stubble
Ilibeen left covered 'almost ever'
borer Would have perished. Hence
the bultivation' of the field should
not be done with a toothed implement
but with a disc, -.and a disc drill, if
possible, used in sowing. Should,
however, some r" the stubble be
brought up it will pay well, and will
not take much time to pick and
burn it.
The ploughingshould be done with
a wide -burrow plough, and should be
to a depth of at least six inches. It
may be done either in the tall or the
spring, but if in the fall the earlier
the better.
Often the stubble eannot le cover-
ed completely unless It Is first rolled
or disced, or both rolled and disced,
or Ib some eases unless a split log
or leveller is run over it to hreak it
off or loosen or pull it apart. This
is especially true when the corn has
been planted in hills or has been
eut high or beaten down by storms,
Grow Dent Corn and Not Flint.
BLYTNMERCIIflNT

In the parts of the county where
the borers are numerous it will be
advisable for a time to grow dent
corn instead of flint, because it is
stouter and so withstandsattacks
better.

who, up until a couple of years ago,
had been identified with the business
and social life of the village for over
40 years and his passing out is much

where he carried on business until
seized with a stroke of paralysis two
years and two months ago which in-
capacitated him. On Friday last he
was seized with the second stroke,
from which he succumbed.
Deceased was a past master of the
local Masonic lodge, for many years
leader of the Methodist choir and the
leader of the band here on many oc-
casions.
Deceased is survived by his widow,
four daughters and two sons, Mrs. A.

Wingham; Miss Edythe Gidley, Tor-
onto; R. Gidley, London and H Gid-
ley and Miss Pearl, Blyth,
The funeral took place on Friday
afternoon, under Masonic auspices.
It will also . help greatly in such
places if a trap crop of flint --tor ex-
ample, Smutnose —consisting of
about a dozen rows is planted about
the middle of May and the planting
of the main crop postponed until
June 1st er as late as possible with -
Out running any risk. , Tho moths
l then will lay their eggs chiefly on
the early corn and leave the main
crop largely unlnfested. The trap
rows -'should be cut lbw in August
and fed to the cattle and the borere
present thus destroyed,'
The above measures involve only
a small amount of extra work for any
farmer, The corn crop le well worth
this, and therefore we hope that each
farmer" will gladly do his part and
encourage' his neighbor to do like-
wise. Now that control measures Wye
beets discovered and made possible
the problem of saving the industry
lies with the farmers themselves.

Structure on Main Street, Occupied
by W. Simmonds, is. Destroyed
Clinton, Oct. 23. — The business
section of the town was threatened
with destruction at an early hour this
morning when ,in some mysterious
manner, the cooperage shop of Wil-
liam Simmonds, at the corner of
Mary and Isaac streets was destroyed
by fire, occasioning a loss of about
$3.000. The structure, which is
owned by S. S. Cooper of this town,
bad been occupied for some time by
Mr. Simmonds,' who came from
Godcrich.. Upwards of 700 empty
barrels were consumed with the
structure.
Fire was first noticed about 5 a.m.
and the firemen fought bravely for
hours and succeeded in confining the
flames to the one building. Snow on
the roof tops of adjacent buildings
undoubtedly saved sparks from ignit-
ing them. The loss on the building
will be in the neighborhood of $2000
and the stock $1,000. There is a
partial insurance coverage on both
building and contents.

This is highly undesirable, and can be

the soil is not acid; but where acidity
occurs lime is very essential, Phos-
