Considerable has been said recently in the weekly press concerning a curious phenomenon which has been noted in several localities in the shape of a capital B stamped upon the oat _leaves. The News -Record has heard of sev- eral instances and recen fily had an opportunity of examining -some oat TeIds-and sure enough, upon n a good many of the _leaves there was a mark which bore some resemblance to the letter B. On nearly all the leaves examined appeared the mark, some three or four inches from the end, but not on all could the letter be so plainly discerned. The mark also appeared on barley leaves. It is said diet the year of the end of the Boer war a similar thing happened. "B stands for Britain and so it means a British victory," says some- one, B is also the first letter of Berlin so might it not mean a vic- tory for Berlin ? say we. Personally wo don't believe it has a thing to do with the war. It is probably something in the way of a disease in the grain, nothing serious we would suppose as the grain looks perfectly healthy otherwise, but we imagine a grain expert would be more likely to be able to give an explanation of it than a seer.

Please note this change for a change in ironing day," BADGES FOR S.G.S. Mr. R. C. Sedenius of the National Council Y.M.C.A,, was in town on Thursday evening and met the local committee who aro interested in the Soldiers of the Soil 'movement. Last year a number of badges were given to boys who worked on farms during the summer but a number who were entitled to them, such as boys wlio worked on their l'ather's farms, were left out and it is the in- tention this year to see that every boy, every girl, too, from thirteen to nineteen who has put in the sum- mer on a farm, shall be presented with an Oficial National S.O.S.

Stothers, Huron's Ag- ricultural Representative, was in Guelph last -'eek attending a conven- 'tion of county representatives from all over the province. They discuss- ed the work in the different counties and exchanged ideas on methods, etc. Some of the counties have been or- ganized for ten years or more and consequently their representatives have their work well in hand. Most of the larger counties have a rep- resentative and an assistant. During the week the agricultural Wren visit- ed the experimental station at Vine- land and there studied at first hand methods of dealing with some of the pests and diseases which attack the different fruits of the field, orchard and vine. It cannot but be an ad- vantage to Huron county to have a man whose time is devoted to the furthering of the agricultural inter- ests of the county and this advan- tage will become more and more ap- parent as time goes on. "This coun- ty," remarked Mr. Stothers the other day on looking over a map of the province which the Government had just sent him, "is second to none. I've always heard -'that but as I travel over it I'm convinced of it." Most liuronites will unhesitat- ingly agree. Htiron should hold a first place among the counties of Ontario.

OUR MAIL DELAYED, The strike of Toronto mail car- riers has interfered seriously with delivery of mail from that city. Yesterday only one morning paper reached The News -Record office, Ver- ily, no one can live unto himself these days, and a general postal gtrike throughout Canada is a very great ineonvenience to people far re- moved from the cities immediately concerned. IS GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR. Mr. W. A. Crich of Seaforth has been appointed inspector of bakeries for this district and has been in Toronto getting instructions as to his duties.

Fowler of town, and for a short time was head baker at Bartliff's, A. COUPLE OF FRAUDS. Word conies from Oxford, that a couple of imposters, a man and a woman, are going about that coun- ty and "living by their wits." They are reported to have called at a farm house. and asked for a meal. Elam and eggs were served them and after they had eaten it the man in- formed the farmer they were repre- senting the Canada Food Board and demanded a fine or $50 for an in- fringment of the law in serving ham. The demand, so It is alleged, was met. ]Farmers and others should become acquainted with the food laws, ob- serve them, both in their private families and when entertaining, and then they could •tell anybody who in- terfered with them to mind their own blamed business.
