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. w Fostsblished Geer Forty Years.

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. ATTEND YOUR 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.
