Tga Goderioh Signal of last week
speaks of a well known Brusselite as
follows :- Anybody who attends the
meetings of the Huron Coun.y Council
must be struck by the prominent part
taken in the proceedings and the
evident respect paid to a certain keen
but kindly looking gentleman who
comes year after year to take his place
at the table, no matter how many other
changes there may be in the personnel
of the Council. Counting from the
date of his birth he is over Bo years old,
but he seems to have none ot the marks
of old age -unless, indeed, it is the
great fund of experience from which he
is always able to draw when discussing
matters before the Council. This is
John Leckie, the Reeve of Brussels,
who was Warden of the County away
back in 1876 and is quite content now
to sit as an ordinary member of the
Council and help the young boys suc-
cessively occupying the Warden's chair
t3 steer a straight course -through the
yeat's business. We are pleased to see
in THE BRUSSELS POST a sketch of the
busy life which Mr. Leckie bas led, and
we reproduce it herewith.

Brussels School Board
The monthly meeting of Brussels
Public School Board was held Friday
evening of last week, tames Fox in the
chair. Minutes of last meeting read
and passed.
Inspector Mills' report of Brussels
Continuation School was presented. In
it wore suggested improvements as to
ventilation, closets, floors of furnace
room and fresh air rooms and necessary
additions to equipment. After a rather
critical analysis of the work of the
school the report concludes with the
sentence :-"On the whole very satis
factory work is being done and the
pupils are being given a fair opportunity
to get 5 start in life." Inspector Mills
urges that while public interest to the
school is very gratifying the dmger is
that people judge only by the number
of those who "pass". While this is oue
evidence of good work it is not by any
means the only evidence, nor is it al-
ways the best evidence.
Board then adjourned.

RBEVB HACKING UNSICA.TED.-Judge
Barron heard at Stratford an action
brought by John 0. Hay, Listowel,
against Reeve J. A. Hacking, of this
town, the former claiming the Reeve's
seat. Mr. Hacking was in January
elected Reeve by 392 to 194 over Mr.
Hay, who two days after nomierrion
had notice served nil Reeve Hacking
of his claim to the office, The relator
based his claim on the ground that
Mr. liaoking's nomination paper was
not signed by two ratepayers, the
name of Thomas Crittenden, one of
the nominators, not appearing on the
voters' list. On Election day, how-
ever, Returning Officer John Bright
issued a certificate to Crittenden to
vote in Gladstone Ward. On the
assessment roll Mr. Crittenden's name
appears bracketed with that of Mrs,
Julia Crittenden, the .latter as owner
and the former as a manhood franchise
voter. Judge Barron, following the
arguments of G. G. McPherson, K. 0.,
for Beeve Hacking and George Bray,
Listowel, foe Mr. Hay, said : "As to
claiming the seat, the relator has no
right to cslahn that. He can simply
notify the people that the respondent
is disqualified. Each will have to PaY
his own costs." A. new election will
be ordered.

Complete Your F1ars Now
The important thing now is to complete at once your plan for the year's work -
for increased production. By planning well in advance, each itionth's operations can be
carried through more effectively when the time comes. Delays later on, through neglect
of this, will mean loss to you and to the Empi, e.
Use the Best
Seed
This year, for the sake of the
Empire, farmers should be
exceptionally careful in the
selection of seed. Cheap seed
is often the dearest. It every
Canadian farmer would use
only the best varieties,
and sow
on properly cultivatedsoil, the
grain output of Canadian farms
would be doubled. Deal only
with reliable seedsmen. Write
at once to Canadian Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa, and to
your Provincial Agricultural De-
pariment for information as to
the best varieties of seed to be
used in your particular locality,
and use no others.

CONFERENCE
Clean Your Seed
All grain intended for seed
should be thoroughly cleaned
and selected to retain only
the strong kemela. You can
reap only what you sow. It
does not pay to sow weeds.
Clean seed means larger crops
and helps to keep the land clean.
'When you have your seed grain
ready, put it through the cleaner
once more.
The Farm Labour Problem
The Government suggests the forming of an
active committee in every town and city, composed
of town and country men and *omen. This com-
mittee would find out the sort of help the farmers
of their locality need, and get a list of the unem-
ployed in their town or city, who aro Suitable for
farm labour. With this information, the committee
would be in a good position to get the right matt for
the right place.
Councils, both rural and urban, Boards of Trade
and other organizations -could advantageously
finance such work. Every unemployed man In the
town or city who is placed on the farm becomes
inunediately a producer, instead of a mere consumer
and a civic expense.

-feet Your Seed
Test your seed for vitality,
too. Seed is not always as
good as it looks. For excunple,
oats, quite normal in appearance
and weight, may be so badly
damaged by frost that their
value for seed is completely
destroyed. If you have any
doubt as to the quality of your
seed a sample may be sent free
to the seed laboratory at Ottawa,
or Calgary, for test. But in
most cases this simple test will
prove sufficient:-
Telte a saucer and two pieces
of blittiag paper." Place seed
between blotting papers. Keep
moist and in a warm place.
In a few clays, you will be able
to see rhether the vitality is
there. A °elect io test your seed
may mean the loss of crop.
Increase Your -Live Stock
Breeding stock are today Canada's most valuable
asset. The one outstanding feature of tho world's
farming is that there will soon be a great shortage
of meat supplies. Save your breedirg stock. Plan
to increase yotr 1e rurc,re en.: the 'United
States as well as Canada v.T.1 ray higher prices for
beef, mutton and bacon in the very near future.
Do not sacrifice rtow. Ratearraim that live stock is
the only basis for prosperous agriculture. You are
farming not speculating.
