from New Yorkers,
There are many reasons why the
country people do not look like
country people nowadays, Perhaps
the automobile has bad a great
deal to do with it, In the horse and
buggy days farm people seldom
went to town unless the town was
only a few miles away, Any place
over 15 to 15 miles away required
a whole day to get there :and an-
othe rto come back. So the farm
folk just stayed Yarm folk
They Slicked themselves up a
bit on Sundays but only in a very
countrified sort of way like the
other wintry people,
Pew -farms are more than 30 or
40 miles from a town or city and
the adient of cheap fast auto-
oibiles takes them into town and
back again in an afternoon or a
day. Thus, city stores are right at
their doors now. Thep can pop in

son for outdoor snapshooting—whether in black -and -white or full-color.
/i UTUMN, with its .bright hues,
t� pleasant weather, and feeling of
seasonal change, is one of the most
'delightful trines of the year to be out-
doors, And it is a time rich in picture
material—a perfect season to lead
up your camera, climb iu the car or
put on hiking boots, and go afield
with an eye alert for picture chances,
Look for those picture opportuni-
ties in harvest scenes . - oil the
farms , , , wherever there is rural
.activity. Watch the skins for cloud
formations that will add glory to
your landscape shots; As leaves be.
gin to fall, and bonfires are burning,
look for atmospheric effects --sun-
bursts slanting through trees and
smoke ---for these too will make fine•
pictures.
If your camera can be loader) with
full-color film, by all means plan to
take, advantage of the brilliant. col-
ors as leaves begin to change and
assume their autumnal hugs. And
look for colon-iiluling opportunities
in the orchards where bright -colored
fruit hangs against the groen of
trees. I1 you go on group hikes at
this ideal hiking season, see that
members of your crowd wear ;i•';-
obit. costtunes—with bright touches
of color that will add appeal to your
full-color shots.
In black -and -white shooting, keep
a color filter on your lens to bring
out the clouds in landscape shots
and harvest scenes. Don't confine
yourself t0 general scenics and
views— keep 1111 eye open for close-
ups that reflect the spirit of the sea-
son. Let your pictures show people
at work , plucking fruit, husking
corn, .perhaps sowing winter cover
crops . , , SO that your autumn. record
will really portray this time of year,
and its typical activities.

Of Agriculture
Women's insituse Branch
Toronto, Ontario,
September 15, 1939
To the Officers and Iylembers
of the Women's, Insititutes
of Ontario:
At this critical time, when our
country has declared war against
Germany, the Women's Institutes
throughout the Province are ex-
pressing their desire to lend their
services to their country in every
passible way, From all sides the
question comes, "What shall we do,
and how?" When we stop to note
that the Women's Institute mem-
bers in this Province number al-
most 42,000, in' 1388 Institutes and
extend from Pelee Island to Inland
Falls and Prom Keewatin to Bains-
ville we realize how much can be
accomplished through this organiza-
tion, 'Established as the Institutes
are, .they are In an excellent
position to respond promptly to any
call,
While it ds yet too early to know
Just what are the most valuable
services which the Institutes can
render in this war some general
suggestions may be given. There
seem to be bwo ways, in which the
In'sti'tutes may work (1) To support
national plans 'by ,working in co-
operation with the Government or
other national organizations and
(2) to carry on essential work in
their own comsnunitties. While
most of our members can not leave
their homes, to which as home-
makers they, owe their first duty,
they cam nevertheless be of service.
Whatever work is done' let us 110
certain that It meets a need and
will be properly distributed,
Mrs T. J. McDowell, your Pro-
vincial President, knowing that it
would• be the wish of the Institute
members, has• sent letters to. the
Honourabel Jas. G. Gardiner, Minis-
ter of Agriculture, Ottawa and to
the. Premier of Ontario, the Honour-
able 11, F. ,Hepburn pledging the
support of the Women's Intsitutes
and offering its services in any.
ray in which the Government feels
the Institutes could, be of greatest
alue. As soon as requests for
special services come from the
Governments they will be forward -
El to every Institute at once, with
lana for their acconrtplishment.
Many enquiries have come in
oncerning co-operation with such
national organizations as the Can-
dian Red Cross. The Recl Cross
s a good channel through which to
sti•ibute emergency supplies, and
hey will welcome contributions in
nuts or supplies from the Testd-
utes. when these are needed. As
et their plans are only in the for-
ative stages; later more definite
'Meals will be made If a Red
rose Cconmdttee is being organized
your community your Institute
ay desire to have representative's
n this committee. Of course all
ch activities are voluntary, The
[livantagee of co-operation with
cli organizations is to prevent
necessary duplication of services.
t 1 think we all feel that, because
are proud of and loyal to our
•vn Institutes, which have proven
ear efficiency in, both near and
ace, we should like to work as
stitutes not lose the good spirit

Weed Is
Robber of
Soil Fertility
Appropriates Plant Food,
Steals Moisture
From Land
Weeds are real soil robbers.
They not only appropriate plant
food that •should be left in the soil
for the use of crops', but they drink
up the soil moisture so essential to
successful crop growth. Forty tons
of water is required to produce a
ton of weeds. It is highly Import-
ant that weeds be kept out of the
cornfields and: the moisture in the
soil be left for the use of the corn.
Keep After Them
Few Partners realize the amount
of water that is lost from a cul-
tivated field during ,Uie (Summer
season through evaporation from
the soil surface and. through grow-
ing plants. Egperiments show that
in producing a crop off cOrn, the
soil loses 15 inches' of water, all
but three inches passing through
the crop. When. 'weeds are using
op the soil moisture at about the
same rate, the corn crop is sure
to snffe'r.
Keep after the weeds. Eztperi-
ments have also shown that the
principal volue of cultivation lies,
in the destruction of weed's,
