'7he NEW CHEVROLET SIX A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE IV. M ediger CLINTON ONTARIO C19-24 Weekly•Crop. Report. Alfalfa and clovers are in a bet- • ter condition now than they were in 1930 according' to the weekly report of agricultural representatives. 'At the same time eggs have reached their lowest value in years. The maple syrup harvest, it is said will not be up to the standard of recent seasons. In Bruce fall wheat and clovers are still covered with snow and the farmers find the feed situation, ex- ;neptionaily good. Less seed grain will be purchased in Glengarry this season than in regent years. Low egg prices have stimulated Grenville fanners to cull tl?ir flocks. Milk production here is 25 per cent higher than last winter. Halton reports fall wheat and clovers as coating' out of the winter. in fairly satisfactory condition, In Leeds there.is consid- erable activity as regards livestock and a 'number of cheese factories have opened. Wheat and clovers in Lincoln are in better shape than in 1930 while several growers have al- ready planted early peas. Norfolk re- ports an increase in flue -cured to- bacco acreage to 20,000 acres,, The new seed cleaning plant in Ontario is being given much patronage with a good demand for the certified pro- duct. Renfrew farmers have dispos- ed of between 10,000 and 12,000 bus: hele of mixed car lots of seed barley at fair priees. Spring cultivation has started iv--the-Wielland district in the vegetable sections. Pure seed for mixing is very scarce in Wellington, the report blaming this factor for poor yields. Quack Grass Control Spring tillage or late fall tillage is not a satisfactory means of de- stroying quack or couch grass, ac- cording to one authority who has given three years' observation to the world and who declares unqualifiedly that summer is distinctly the mast dependable season for destroying quack grass by tillage, The degree of control is in direct proportion to the thoroughness of tillage, timeli.. nese of the operation and favorable- ness of weather conditions. Ordinary cultivation is not effective in con- trol. An occasional and half-hearted stirring of the soil stimulates the weed's growth. The one-wav disk Mow has been found very effective in quack grass elimination and has a low operating cost. A Valuable Booklet Prepared in the hope that it will create a keener appreciation of first- class beef on the part of Canadian consumers, a booklet on "Beef—How to choose and cook it, has been issued by the D.aparttnent of Agricul- ture at Ottawa. The booklet covers in a brief but clear manner such subjects as the food value of beef, selection and care, and the relation- ship of the higher -priced, to the low- er-priced cuts, More than half the booklet is devoted to practical sug- gestions on how best to cook beef and the last few pages contain many excellent recipes. Beef grading and its value in -protecting the consumer and stimulating the producer are thoroughly explained and the book- let should prove helpful to Canadian housewives and retail meat merch- ants. Copies can be obtained from either the provincial or federal de- partment of Agrieuiture or at your local agricultural office. Fighting Rural Fires For several years a determined fight against rural fires has been carried on by the Ontario fire mar- shal, E. P. Heaton, and his assist- ants. The barn losses in late stun - mer andefall he blames largely on spontaneous combustion, the result of storing green and damp hay in the mows. I•'or general protection the fire marshal recommends more care in the handling and storing of gasoline. This, he would place at a safe distace from inflammable ma- terial and would store in red tins, so it eould not be mistaken for any- thing else. 'Many rural fires he blames on poorly eonstructed chim- neys. These . should be built right to the ground floor, for the masonry is liable to crack and allow explos- ive gasses to leak out. Long pipes leading to the chimney are condemn- ed, and also the careless Ieading of these pipes through partitions. He would place properly insulated sleeves in the partitions. He urges the adoption of community fire -fighting apparatus or arrangements with the nearest town or village so that the apparatus would be at the call of farmers. For this work he recom- mends a light truck, equipped with chemical apparatus and several small extinguishers. Several organi- zations have already been formed where • a score or more farmers have joined in purchasing fire -fighting equipment' and transportation. The truck is stored at a strategic place and is summoned by telephone. EXETDR; , Easter was appro- priately observed in all Exeter chur- ches. in Jarnes Street, a sacred cantata, "Froin Olivet to Calvary," by Maunder, was well' rendered by the choir, under W,. R. Goulding, while in Main Street a note of happi- ness was sounded by to presence for the first time in many weeks of the pastor, Rev. C. J. Moorhouse, who was sufficiently recovered to assist Rev. Mr. Moyer, of Hamilton. A re- ception service, the sacrament, a ladies' string orchestra and Easter anthems were featured. Aft ` Cavan Presbyterian, there were special an- thems, and Easter sermons by the pastor, Rev. 3. Bernard Rhodes. At Trivitt Memorial there were special anthems and sermons and anunusu- ally large number of communicants. 14frs. N. J. Dore and B.

Depression as seen in Britain An eloquent message to American business men from a British author- ity who thinks most of our trouble is ha our heads, has been widely reprin- ted -in the press and by business and brokerage houses. It comes from Herbert N. Casson, editor of The Ef- ficiency Magazine, of London, Eng- land. Mr. Casson is a Canadian; his father being a minister of the Metho- dist Church, who held pastorates in several places in western Ontario, in- cluding Seaforth, Mitchell and Mark - dale.' Herbert early developed an original mind and has written widely on various topics, Ile also resided for some years in the United States and, presumably, knows something of the temper of its citizens. After calling attention to the, wealth and brain power of the Eng- lish speaking people of America, he proceeds to point out the "golden op- portunity" • p-portunity"• he sees.ho plainly ahead of people this Continent: "Dollars are now being sold for 30 cents.. Practically every security in the United States is now being sold at Tess than its value. Frick started his career by buying coke ovens, in the slmnp• of 1873, Carnegie made $200,000,000 buy- ing steel plants in the slumps. 'Hundreds of fortunes have been made by buying 'from pessimists. Ye gods!What a chance there is at this moment! In five years from now, most American business men will belong to the "I-Wish-S-Itad-Club," • Then, it will be too lata to buy a Huron Old Boys' As- sociation of Toronto A continual downpour of rain for five hours, interfered with the at- tendance at the Huron Old Boys' Annual Euchre and Bridge at Hygeia Hall on Wednesday even- ing Last. However, notwithstanding the elements, a goodly crowd braved it and carried on in the old Huron style. About twenty tables were used by the euchre players and the same number for bridge. The prize winners for the euchre were: Gents -1st prize, M. Adams; 2nd prize, .7. Lindsay. Ladies — 1st prize, Mrs. Philips; 2nd prize, Mrs. Jean Gilchrist. Mrs. E. Duncan won the ladies' 1st prize in bridge, and W. F. Mustard carried off the gent's 1st prize. At the conclusion of the games, delicious, refreshments were served, under the supervision of Mrs. Van - stone, convenor of the Refreshment Committee. New time and -old time dancing was indulged for the remainder of tate evening. The following are the names of some of those present: President C. G. and Mrs. Van - stone, Mr. and Mts. J. A.
