It is a delight to thrive through this
district just now. Notwithstanding
the severe Wintet, the clover and
wheat have come through very well,
and the splendid showers recently
have brought along the grass and
wheat. It) the ettrher seeding, the
ground seemed boggy and dead, bit
the warm weather arid rain have dis-
sipated all that and the ground makes
excellent, seed -bed. Unlike South
Huron, Howick, which is in Northeast
Huron, has not many grass farms,
particularly around Gorrie and Ford-
wioh, so that everywhere the farmers
are busy seeding. This week Will

usual acreage has been put in. This
year plans are being made for a larger
planting of potatoes. .A dollar and a
half a bag •is tempting ; thus many
will double their usual amount of
planting.
