MORAL: Spray early and keep spraying, The presence of a large propor- tion of broken or bruised kernels in seed grainseriously decreases its market value, and further loss is caused by the invasion of fungi after the seed is sown. Fall wheat and clovers have wint- ered in good condition: This is the report from. the majority' of repre- se/natives although some districts afford notable exceptions, A great- ly stimulated interest in pruning and spraying is observed among orchard- ists throughout Ontariq, l ,_ms's :air: o---�1-- !. O. A. C. Students an Trip A party of O.A,C. students have been guests of Thema; E. Wilson of the Wilson Packing Company of Chicago. These students are grad- uates •cf London Collegiate Institutes and have received the Thos. E. Wil- son Scholarship. Mr. Wilson for the past two years has offered these scholarships of $300 each to three graduates of London 'Collegiate In• stitutes and to boys who are from the farm and still interested in Ag- riculture. He is an old Ontario boy who still has a deep interest in the province. Assistance For Dairy Business is Planned The Department will announce plans shortly whereby financial aid will be provided for the improve- ment of dairy herds. The scheme is designed to assist every producer of milk, provided he is willing to purchase a high grade bull, of known pedigree. This, it is felt, will help the dairyman, and in- crease the present low yield of dairy cows in Ontario. 7t: -J ter to drink in the usual chick faun -I tains. Chick -size gritghonld be placed before themin shallow pans, and hoppers of mash may then be put at their .disposal. It is important that sufficient hopper apt fountain space be provided so that all chicks may get sufficient food and water without crowding. 'Once the hoppers are put down they are not again re- moved as there is no danger of over- feeding. Brooding feeds usually consist of the following essentials: chick scratch grain, mash, grit, shell, char- coal and green feed. For grain, a commercial chick size mixture may be purchased and it is not usually fed for a week or ten days. The mash ordinarily will contain gi'ol]nd grainer mineral feeds, such its bone meal; 'aniutal feeds, sltolt as heat tical, fish heal, milk powder, etc„ salt and cod liver oil. Unleee the chicks have access to sunshine with- in the first week or ten days it will be wisdom to insist that cod liver oil be a component of the mash if a commercial product is fed. Spring Lanib Offerings . Under Market Standard Discussing the lamb situation, C. C. Lyster, Federal Government Mar- ket Representative, Union Stock Yards, said: "Lamb marketings macre to catch the Easter trade were rath- er disappointing. Producers were either ill-advised, or not thoroughly acquainted with market conditions. "Of shipments totalling some 500 head, more than 125 were returned to the farms as unsaleable, while half of the remainder were below market requirements for weight and finish. ' "In these times it is essential that quality be the first consideration if prices are to be sustained, or ad- vances merited." c=zscee Free Flowing Fertilizer An important point to be kept in mind when purchasing fertilizer is its condition or capability of uniform distribution. To bring this about some manufacturers are putting out their fertilizers in fine granular form. Within recent years the trend has been towards a higher concentra- tion of the plant food constitutents. The higher the concentration of the fertilizer, the more important it is that it should permit of an even dis- tribution. Inview of the practice of applying fertilizer by machine it is very desirable that the condition of the fertilizer should be free flowing, condition should be such that stoppage or clogging of the material in the drill is not likely to occur. ee A1C-= The scrub bull campaign will be pressed again this year by the Live- stock Improvement Association of Elgin County. At the annual meet- ing in St. Thomas it Was decided to organize sub -committees in each township to work personallly among the owners 'of scrub bulls in the hope of reducing the 357 animals at pre- sent in use in Elgin. •selreseell Agriculture Is Major Factor .. In Canada's Export Trade Agriculture, according to the On- tario Marketing Board, provides roughly one-half of Canada's export trade, the most important items be- ing grain and grain products, cheese, live stock and live stock products, potatoes and apples. Fruit Shipment to Great Britain The Ontario Fruit Growers' As- sociation announce they shipped this year some 800 cars of apples, pears and plums to their European com- mercial representative. One hundred and thirty-five cars of plums and pears were exported to Great Bri- tain. This is the first attempt to ship abroad these fruits from, Ontario, The business will be, extended this . year.

Ransford arrived in Britain last Saturday. He will return about May 24th. The 25 Club will 'be officered for the next six mange by President W. P, Spaulding; ,Secretary -treasurer M. McTaggart and a committee of D. Macpherson, J. McMurehie and N. Fair. Lieut. H. T. Rance is said to be the peoples' officer of the 83rd Bat- tallion; Capt. Combe a gentleman of discipline and comes down like a thousand of brick, and he generally gets there;—promotion is looked fol. Dr. Shaw is a host in himself, but it takes nearly ill his spare time look- ing after' Capt, flttyes. Ski Correct: our town cotem says that "Out of thirty-seven liquor lic- enses granted in West Huron, more than three quarters of them are held by Conservatives" The sitatem'ent is not correct. The classified names would be interesting reading in view of such a bold statement. Annually The New Era makes the salve asser- tion and is as often checked for mis- representing the facts. Will our cotem please be truthful once in a year. The Wind Storm: Last Wednesday night and Thursday there was a very severe windstorm in this section .. . one of the worst and most violent ever known in this section, but as yet we have not learned of any loss of life. Lime Subvention Policy Renewed According to a recent announce- ment made by the Hon. Thos. L. Kennedy, the Dominion and Provin- cial, Governments in co-operation with the leading Railway Companies have renewed an agreement whereby the railways will carry ground lime- stone for agricultural purposes at a rate of 25 per cent below the stan- dard tariff and the Dominion and Provincial Governments through a subvention policy will still further re- duce the cost of transportation by paying 50 per cent of the remaining freight up to a maximum subvention of $1.00 per ton. If the standard rail tariff is $1.00 per ton, the railway reduces the rate 20c per ton; the subvention policy pays 40c and the farmer pays the re- maining 40c. Under the regulations the mini- mum car is set at 30 tons. Limestone for agricultural purposes must be in a condition that 100 per cent will pass through a 10 mesh sieve, 50 per cent through a 40 mesh sieve. and 30 per cent through a 100 Mesh sieve. Limestone must also contain a mini- mum of 80 per cent calcium carbon. ate or its equivalent in magnesium carbonate. The Maximum selling price is set at $3.00 per ton F.O.B. shipping point. The purchaser may place his order with 'any ,Company in Canada but all limestone purchased under the subvetion policy is subject to sampling and analysis. Any farmer wishing to secure a car of limestone applies for a permit from the local Agricultural Repre- sentative. The original copy of the permit accompanies the order, and a copy _ is forwarded to Parliament Buildings, Toronto. The lime company on receipt of an order ships the car and prepays the freight and in turn forwards an account to, Queen's Park for the a- mount of freight payable under sub- vention and collects the remaining amount of freight from the purchas- e/. This policy Col. Kennedy states will result in a large saving to far- mers needing dime, will increase yields and improve the quality of farm products on sour soils and will make liinestone available at a rea- sonable price to all parts of Ontatio, As soon as the chicks areremoved' from the incubator to the brooder they may be fed. After seeing to it that the chicks are comfortable they 'should be given slightly warmed wa:- BLYTH: 91r. Franklin Bainton received a large shipment of sheep- skins from a Toronto firm, with whom behas contracted for 0,000 pelts' which will make a considerable amount of work.

Lew is an energetic young matt and is un- questionably going to .make a suc- cess of 'tits inenrence welt in Which he has embarked, The purchaser Of the cottage was Mr. John Garbed of Hulled, who intends to move into Clinton. And the Hen Died: The other day Mr. David Cantelon 'brought in for The News -Record's inspection a hen's egg which measured 81-4 by 6 7-8 Mace and weighed 41 ounces. It was from a Black Minorca hen which in each of the ten days previous laid an egg of almost equal weight. The eleventh, however, was too much for the Minorca and she turned up her toes. I. 0. 0. F. Attend Service: About sixty members of the I.O.O.F. met in the hall of the local lodge en Sunday evening and front thence marched, with Mr. H. B. Chant as conductor, to St. Paul's church where an im- ptessive sermon was delivered by the Rev. C. R. Gunne, M.A., the rec- tor of the church.... The always excellent choir. of St. Paul's even ex- celled itself on this occasion. On the return of the brethren to their hall a cordial vote of thanks to the rec- tor, the choir and the churchwardens was adopted. From The New Era, April 28, 1893: Mr. A. 0. Pattison, G.T.R. agent has disposed of his driver to a gen- tleman in London. A. 0. says that anything short of a 40 -mile an hour locomotive is too slow for him. The remains of the late Mrs. Bow- ers, who died at Helena, were ac- companied to town by her two sons! Harry and Charlie, and were interred on Saturday afternoon last. A. meeting of some of bicylists of town was held in the town clerk's of- fice on Tuesday for the formation of a Club, the following officers were chosen: President, H. B. Oombe; Vice, • G. F. Emmerson; secretary, A. T. Cooper; captain, S. Kitt; com- mittee, Messrs. Yellowlees, Hovey and Gould. Mr. J. E. Hovey is now the posses- sor of a Cornet road scorcher and may be seen practising in the back shop and longing for good roads. Ern will make it warm for some of the cracks before the season is over. Licenses: The Commissioners of West Huron met here on Saturday to consider the final disposition of Wingham licenses and after very careful consideration of the whole matter, decided to license Row's and Sweet's hotels and cut off Orr's and Dinsley's. Taking the Fences Down: Now that animals are not allowed to run at large, people are commencing to re- move their front fences, Mr. Arthur Cook of Albert street being the first to do so. Effects of the Storm: The wind last week played havoc with things generally. . . . In town we escaped without much harm being done but out in the country fences were lev- elled, trees by the score blown over and barns unroofed. Part of the roof of McGarva's salt block was blown off,,part of the flax mill blown down, a windmill on Mr. Torrester's farm was blown over and one on the farm of Mr. Thomas Churchill, God- erich township, was completely des- troyed. . .. estroyed.... Among the barns in this vicinity that lost either the whole or part of their /oaf were those of James Nott and John Stevens, Lon- don Road, Mrs. Hitch and E. Sibbins, Hulled; James Steep, George 'Cante- Ion, W. H. Elliott, G. Steep and Ro- bert Miller, •Goderich township. One farmer saw the entire roof of his barn life up a foot and then drop back; into its place. Quickly procur- ring a hay fork tackling and with the help of his hired man he secured the roof on. Eolmesville: What might have been a serious or fatal accident oc• eurred last Monday as Master Nel- son Trewartha, eldest son of Mr. John Trewartha, was engaged tying up a horse, it kicked, and the wander was it didn't hill him, but be only re- ceived a severe bruise on his leg. He is able to be around again. WHEN THE PRESENT CENTURY WAS YOUNG From The News -Record, Apr. 30, 1908 The Provincial elections will take place on Monday, June 8th. Go To Lucknow: The male and mixed quartettes of Ontario, street church go to Lucknow on Saturday From The New Era, Apr. 30th, 1908: Mr. James Livermore, who was engineer for the Clinton Thresher Company, has taken a situation as engineer for the Doherty Organ and Piano Company. He is a good, re- liable and qualified man. Back To His First Love: A rumor is current to the effect that Mr. An- drew Porter, late manager of the Sovereign Bank, Goderich, and a well-known former Clintonian, may take an interest in the Goderich Star. Mr. Porter is a practical print- er, having spent some time at the business, and he would make an ex- ceptionally able and popular newspa- perman. Checkers: On Friday evening last Mr. W. T. Walton of Seaforth, who holds the championship for Ontario, as a checker player, gave a demonstra- tion of his skill in the council cham- ber here. He played against- eight of Clinton's checker experts, all at one time, each having a hoard before them, and out of fifteen games he won ten, losing one and four being a draw. The players were Messrs. H. Houlden, W. Grant, George Ro- bertson, J. B. Hoover, Levi Wiltse, J. Watt, James Cook and E. Johnson. Hoover managed to win one game while Messrs. Houlden, Watt, Cook and Wiltse managed to get a draw. Mr. Walton afterwards played a game with Mr. Hoover, the latter making his moves on a board as usual, but Walton depending entire- ly on his memory, without the use'of a board, and won this also. Mrs. H. Fowler and little Miss Gertrude were visitors at London and Pat'lchill during Easter week. Miss May Webb and W. C. Mead of Toronto spent Easter holidays at the bonne of the former's mother, Mrs. W. H. Webb. Mr. Fred Stephenson of London, with two pother gentlemen of that city gave an excellent address in the town hall of Strathroy to the Y.M. C.A. on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Stephenson is a son of Mr. John Stephenson of town. Some Clintonians know that Mr. R. A. Worthington; eldest son of the late Dr. Worthington, has been study- ing medicine at London Medical Cole lege but very few ate aware of the fact that he has been putting himself through, and to that extent was handicapped, added eto which is also the fact that a delicate sister claimed considerable of his time. When he was able, under, these cir- cumstances, to not only pass with first class honours, but to win a sil- ver medal as well, he is certainly de- serving eserving of great credit. THIS PROBLEM OF PHONETICS The conductor and a brakeman on a Montana railroad differ as to the proper pronunciation of the name Eurelia. Passengers are often start- led upoit arrival at this station to hear the conductor yell: "You're a liar! You're a liar!" Then from the brakeman at the other end comes the. cry. "Yon- really are! Yon really are!" • TO FAF THURS., APRIL 27, 1933 ANDA -, E IDEAL VACATION -SAND' A COUNTRY OF,SCRNIC CHARM AND OUTDOOR RECREATION UNEXCELLED IN ABUNDANCE AND VARIETY OF HOLIDAY ATTRACTIONS N recent years Carnada has become one of the most popular playgrounds of the North American continent and millions of tourists visit this country annually, in search of recreation, Ci' /nada, possacses an extensive sys- Sem of modern highways, with good seoonda•y roads linking together the main routes of travel. Excellent train services are in operation be- tween the principal cities, while steamship lines connect lake and ocean ports. Every clam of travel accommodation is available, front tourist camp to luxurious hotel. Our larger Canadian cities possess some of the finest hotels in the world and the majority of smaller cities and towns have modern establishments which cater to the travelling public. Recreational Attractions Nearby Within reasonable touring dis- tance of the main centres of popu- lation, recreational attractions of outstunding merit are to be found. Lakes and rivers well stocked with fish, hunting areas of vast extent and camping grounds in their natural state, are only a few of the many features which make the country a popular vacation land during all sea- sons of the year. An atmosphere of old France permeates Quebec and the Marithnes, while Ontario and the Western provinces have much to offer by way of historic sites and monuments. Numerous Canoe Trips For those who desire a vacation close to nature, a canoe trip is ideal and Canada's extensive system of rivers and lakes offers a limitless choice of route and type of trip. For the novice there are many trips close to civilization, which may be taken with comfort end perfect safety, while unmapped and even unexplored regions challenge the ex- pert and the adventurous. Canoes and equipment may be rented and guides are available in practically all districts. Subject to reasonable fire prevention regulations the canoe camper,, camera hunter or student of wild life, may come and go, unrestricted, through the coun- try's vast forested area. Excellent Fishing Canada's fishih;; waters, on ac- count of their extent and diversified nature, provide an exceptional range of sport for the angler, au game fish include, saurian, brook trout, lake trout, bass, maskinonge, pike, pick- erel, grayling, steelhead and tuna. Intelligent protection and constant re -stocking help to keep up the sup- ply of fish in the popular districts, while in the more remote areas there are still plenty of virgin waters. The. cost of fishing licences is moderato and the open seasons are long. Golf and Tennis Popular Canada is well supplied with golf courses and new ones are,being built in every province. No city is without at least one golf club and most of the larger towns and popular summer re- sorts have courses. Tennis is aso- popular in all parts of the country,.. Government Bureau Free Information Service A ember of specially prepared! booklets on Canada's recreational attractions and automobile road maps indicating the main connecting high -- ways between one province and an- other may be obtained free of charge by adults, from the National De- velopment Bureau of the Depart- ment of the Interior, at Ottawa. Thr. Bureau also has on file information, concerning practically all phases of recreation in Canada, which will' be gladly provided, upon request.

KING?NEWS 1.Hu:flClar lti For frantic boast and foolish word Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord. The Titanic, advertised as unsinkable went down on its first trip, and Ad- i miral Moffett who was killed in the crash declared the Alcron the safest dirigible ever built. When his audiences applaud his "insults," Bernard Shaw must recog- nize that his day is done.- Insults are stingless that produce only cheers and laughter. . The federal government is bound to protect a dry state against the inflow of liquor from an adjoining wet •state. Thirsty souls within that dry state must often wonder if there is no such thing as riparian rights. ea"tLo After this, surely the gentlemen adventurers trading into Soyiet Rus- sua will not expect the protection of their own home governments. President Green sof the American Federation of Labor wants the gov- ernment to take over the railways for the protection of insurance com- panies and either institutions that invested heavily in railway securities. These investments' would not have been so bad if the government "had not during he war taken over control of the railways. That was a glor- ious time for the railway organiza- tions which (and not insurance com- panies) are President Green's chief concern. Referrig to dispatches emanating from Germany, Saturday Night says: "It is 'a poor defence against: the charge that a hundred persons have been massaoreed to plead that the real number is only 15." Perhaps, but" it is a matter of life or death to 85, and that is of some importance to them. "Milwaukee- is on. the snap again with the beer that made it famous. Itis celebrated too as the birthplace of the late Lord Shaugnessy whom George Ham described as "he peer that made Milwaukee famous." We thought there was .some catch in it. That memebr of parliament who was reported as opposing the expenditure of some mroney in his rid- ing was not really opposed to it. His suggestion was that the money should be handed over to himself to make sure that it was judiciously spent which in most cases means spent to political advantage. ceezlrJ-, In Germany, as in other countries. Communists who were out looking for trouble have found it, and have thereby added to their fund of griev- ances. •z=1t "Save me from nay friends" niay well be the prayer of candidates for public office, and ministers of state. An English cabinet minister, puzzled and incensed by the act of a col- league, ponce said something to the effect that against the acts and con- spiracies of an enemy we may guard but human ingenuity cannot protect us against the unconscious machina- tions of stupidity. It was pure stupidity on Burchard's part: a desire to say something al- literative and smart, without reckon- ing upon any other effect. The Sun, on tate other haled, was anything but stupid, but :it was impish' and per- haps not very particular as to whe- ther it helped or hurt. At any rate, the Democrats' of that time could not be persuaded that Mr.. Dana wanted ,Hancock elected . atm That big political . meeting of Blame's cost the Republicans a lot of money and .the net result was the _t defeat of their. candidate. Except in its magnitude it is not exceptional. When the Canadian senators are try- ing to cut down the cost of elections they might front their own exper- ience advise candidates to go easy on political meetings which run up a big bill of costs in the way •of hall rent, advertising, bill -posting, speakers, entertainers, bands and orchestras, and often injure rather than promote their interests. Imported speakers are more eager to make a rousing speech than they are careful to avoid arousing antag- onisms. This is especially trite sof city men speaking in rural districts, After a political meeting is over, the candidate may well be pleased if it has done his candidature no harm. C�1[� It is well known that James G. Blaine lost the presidency through the indiscretion of a supporter. Rev. Dr. Burchard, who stigmatized the Democrats as being allied with rum, Ronuanism and rebellion, but it is not so well known that General Hancock, Democratic candidate against Gar- field, may have lost the election through the act of a friendly news- paper, the New York Sun, describing grim as "a good man weighing 250 pounds." A candidate can stand a- buse but not ridicule. -Coining from an enemy it would not have hurt but coming from a friend it was deadly. EXETER: Application for pro- bate of the Will of the late John W.
