the straight side of the furrows'
Holes or pits should be dug in, the
bottom of the furrow every ten or

place to get out. 'They can then
be' destroyed 'with blun t stick or
by 'horning !straw over them,.

TragiC Death At Pt, Dover. -
z A New Way to Kill
Port Dover July 16—A. M. Todd
aged 55, formerly of Goderich and late
ly assistant editor of the Port Dover
Maple Leaf was drowned here today.
Nothing was known of his death until
two little girls who were paddling
stumbled over the body lying in two
feet deep about twenty feet from
shore,
Startled by what they had felt un.
der their feet and feeling sure that it
was a body hurried to the beach and
Messrs. West and Patterson of Brant-
ford who they told, went in and
br iught the body to the beach.
Nothing could be done to revive Mr.
Todd. Upon inquiry it was learned
that he went down for his usual swirn
about nine o'clock this morning with
Harry Bloxson aged 8, with whose par
encs be boarded. The two swain
about for awhile and then the boy
went home,
He never thought anything of Mr,
Todd's absence as often be went to the
newspaper office,
Corner Dr. Cook, after investigating
came to the conclusion that Mr. Todd
suffered fit of apopexty as he was it,
swimming and fell uncouscious as he
was trying to make his way to the
beach and was drowned. He will not
hold any in puest.
Mr. Todd and his wife had been liv-
ing, separated. She is at resent in
Toronto Four children ttleo survive

student of this county. He first came
to prominence by the establishment of

of Customs at Oduton. The publiee-
tion of the third paper in Goderich not
proving profitable the plant was
moved to Cliuton and amalgamated
with the Recurd nider tile of News
Record, Mr. Todd remaining one
of its publishers until it was pin'
chased by its present owner Mr. Mit
Mr. Todd then went to C4oderich
and became partner in the publiee
lion of the Goderich Star where he re
mai ned until three years ;Ago. Moving
to Toronto he purchased a job print
ing plant Whiell NVilS operated for a
short time under the title of Todd &
Sons, but competition in the city was
too much keen and this was distiontin
ued Mr, Todd going to Port Dover as
stated above, He leaves a widow and
three sons the former was a Miss Shap
pard cf Goderich Township. She is
still a resident of Torontn. mr. Todd •
was a member of the Masonic and

several fraternal socities.
i The Army Worm 1
iThe Guelph Mercury has a for.
mule, for killing the army worm:
o "Army worms are invading
5, rural Ontario. Hero's one way
to kill 'em : Cover the ground
with the lying maps that the
Conservatives used in their re-
cent campaign to show the prog-
ress of temperance. As soon as
the worms crawl over these they
would shrivel up and die.
