Interest Developed in Dairying Two Ontario Bounties have : re- cently shown an increase interest in the dairy cow whieh bids very well indeed for the dairy industry an the province. In Northumberland, the agricultural representative; Walter II: Smith, has persuaded 'lvir. Cham- bers, the Provincial Dairy Products Inspector at Belleville to open an of- fice to assist his dairy farmers. At the beginning of the work twenty-oue samples were taken 'for testing and the new office promises to become a very useful adjunct tothe depart- ment. In Leeds county the dairymen have arranged to hold a number of meeting of farmers sending milk to various groups of factories with the idea of improving the guality of the milk submitted for cheesemaking.

Grubs and Strawberry Plants A flew strawberry plantation th likely to cone t6 •grief if it is on sod land -where white grubs make their home, At least two vegetable crops should be taken from the land before strawberry plants are set out. June beetles .lay their eggs commonly in grassy land and the white grubs which batch frpm thein require two or more years to develop. In newly ploughed sod, therefore, there will be some halfgrown larvae. In the year following, they will be nearly full grown and very voracious and straw- berry roots are a favorite food, with the result that an entire plantation may be easily wiped out.

It is a well known fact that alfalfa snakes use of large quantities of pot ash 'bet just what quantities of suit- able fertilizers will be best to apply to it, is a question hi which many practical farmers are interested,. 'In an attempt to answer this important question, a very interesting .test is being worked out by, the Department of Chemistry, ; Ontaiio Agricultural College, in co-operation with R. E. White, Agricultuial Representative in Newmarket, on the farm of Earl Toole, Newmarket, Grapes and Soy Beans Elgin Senn, assistant manager of the Border Cities Chamber of Com- merce at a recent meeting in Essex County said that it would be well for that county to go in for the cul- tivation of soy beans and, grapes which' are in high demand; and can be easily grown there, Recently he had learned that a Border Winery had brought in five hundred tons of grapes from the Niagara District last year. Soy beans are a differentpro- position.. The value of the crop is two -fold. The bean carries a valuable oil which is used in the manufacture of paint etc. ' And the residue after the oil has been extracted makes a better hog feed than the original seed. "Exploitation of the -soy bean would have a telling effect on Esser agriculture" Mr. Senn declared" em- phatically. It is not unlikely that the advice of Mr. Senn might be ap- plicable to other parts of Ontario. Labor -Saving Devices Already e. great deal of diseus- sion has been indulged in by_ poultry raisers concerning the use of electric ity in 'producing more eggs per then However, the use of "electric day- light" is not the only way in which the useful commodity can be employ- ed on the farm. With the increased use o cheap hydro power, electric labor saving devices will be in more general use and the day is not far distant when electricity will run the farm as completely as it now runs the modern factory; Completed for Donation Aiinouncemeut is made by J. Lockie Wilson, superintendent of the Agri- cultural Societies Branch, that the A. J. H. Eckardt donation will' be completed for in 1930 at the following county fairs; Russell, Kingston In- dustrial, Robins Mlills, Victoria, Sint coo, Lincoln, Norfolk, Len -Aston, El- gin, Bruce. H'aliburton, Nipissing. It will alto be competed for at Agricultural Societies' Fairs in York County as follows; Aurora, Agin- court, Markham, Richmond Hill, Schomberg, Sutton, Woodbridge.

There are few of us who can- not learn something by observing what -farmers in other parts of the province are doing: and how they do it.

Plow in July "Plow in July while it's dry„ is the slogan adopted by farmers of Wel- lington County in their combat to el iininate,the "Million Dollar 'Menace" --the sow thistle. The method' de- scribed by Ralph Clemens ageicuI- aural 'representative, is perhaps the best adapted to the poorly drained heavy clay soils on which sow thistle best thrives: A. modern two -furrow plow is used, dsawn.+by fourhorses or a tractor. The hay isgottenoff early and the land is plowed while Try to a depth of six to eigth inches. The clod thus turned up, if left for a few' days will dry out 'se tlhat the sun( and air will kill perhaps 71) per cent. of the sow thistle roots. After a week, if rain has not intervened, a heavy broad -toothed cultivator • of heavy disc is used to expose all the roots to the killing effects of heat and drouth. District Meeting of Women's Institute The District Annual meeting of the West Huron Women's Institute was held in the Forester's hall, Auburn on June 17th.

Mrs. Colelough of Blyth replied to this address. They were then favoured with a solo by Mrs. Clegg of Belgrave. Their sired - deet then addressed them. She had visited all the branches in the dis- trict and it was both a satisfaction and gratifying to know they were gettitsg along so well. They have pas- sed another milestone and suggested a closer co-operation with teachers, children and school boards. If they are to be better citizens they must give thein their assistance. Miss Eadie from the department then spoke on Institute work. The first Institute was organized at Stoney Creek in 1897. Since that, time it has been constantly increasing and today they have 1156 branches with 40,000 mem- bers.

SINUS TROUBLE In our skulls, there are bony cavi- ties, lined with a delicate membrane which is continuous with the mucous membrane of the nose and throat. These cavities are the head sinuses. They are located above the eyebrows, behind the eye sockets, back of the upper part of the nose, cn either side of the nose below the eyes, anti be- hind the ears. These sinuses have certain points in common. They are situated close to vital structures, the openings into them are very small and are shut off by any swelling of the lining mem- brane which may result from infec- tion causing inflammation. They are frequently subject to infection which gains entrance along the membrane from the nose or throat, or which is carried to the sinus by the blood stream from some focus of infec- tion, as, for example, diseased teeth or tonsils. Infectiosl eauses inflammation, and one symptom of inflammation is swelling. The swelling shuts off the opening from the sinus. If the infec-. ticn develops, pus is formed. The pus cannot drain out beeause• the exit is blocked by the swelling, and, as a result, a serious condition develops. The infection may subside and the swelling go down, and then the pus is discharged. Otherwise,' there is an abscess Iocked in this bony cavity from which it may spread by the blood stream to other parts, or de- stroy tissue and burst through into some vital area. In order to avoid sinus trouble, everything_._...__ possible should be done to prevent colds and other respirat- ory infections which may be the be- ginning of the condition. If such in fections are contracted, then prompt and proper treatment should be taken to avoid the possible serious com- plications, one of which is sinus in- fection. Bed is the.plaee for a person with a respiratory infection. Rest, elimination, warmth and a suitable diet increase the fighting power of the body against the invading germs Care should continue during conval- escence, as, in all probability, there are some germs still remaining ac- tive and ready to seize any opportun- ity to cause trouble. A person who carries around a foc- us of infection in teeth or tonsils is always open to the danger of the spread of infection from such a focus. The removal of food of infection is a measure of prevention against sinus infection.
