.Field Mice Menace to Crops
in Middlesex
Grain fields Overrun by Unusual
Number of These. Rodents
Comparatively harmless when pres-
ent in small numbers, field mice are
threatening to cause heavy damage
an Middlesex this coming winter. At
present there are mare field mice in
district grain fields than for the past
several years, H. N. Webster, of the
-orchard ,certification . branch for the
provincial department of agriculture
--reports.
This indicates that thousands of
:rodents will be foragingi for food
during the coming months rand fruit
tree bark is one of their @haef art-
icles of diet.
Mr, Webster warns fruit. growers
that precautions muse be taken if
trees are situated near grain fields
or localities where the mice are
abundant. He advises that grass be
cut within a radius of three feet, of
the tree trunks. In some fruit areas
growers ,are preparing to erect met-
allic lathfences about their orchard

citement on Monday afternoon when
it Was learned that supposedly, two
Gypsy women entered the home, of
Mr. John Baker who lives alone on
'the boundary between Hay and
Stanley townships and asked Baker
for some halt and napper, and • while
he was in the act of getting salt
out of a banmel he felt something
in his hip pocket where he carried
his purse containing $300, but he
;felt the purse was still there, and
a while after the two women who
were -accompanied by men in a car,
were gone, Mr. Baker disc vexed
that he was carrying a empty 'parse
in his pocket, as the money was all'
gone, and what he had felt was the
pickpocket returning to his pocket
the empty purse. He immediately
gave alarm and .Peovincial Constable
McCoy of Goderich soon got on the

were tomatoes, peaches, butter, ol-
ives, oranges and cereal. But the
tourist Was relieved of his groceries
by a watchful policeman, In Magis-
trate Makins' court the grocer was

OLD PORT COMING BACK
Earliest port in the Kincardine
districts Stoney Island, also called.
Port Head, 'is coming into its own
again, with the erection of a summer
colony there. -
In '1850,, when thispart of West -
est Ontario was opened, boats, did
'a thriving trade, at Stoney. Island,
three miles north of Kincardine,
landing passengers and supplies
there. A harbor, stores and other
buildings flourished, bot in 1857 a
storm carried away the worehousee
on the island.
This 'summer a pier has been built
on the south side of the island, af-
fording a landing place for small^
boats and fourcottageshave been
built not far from the original set-
tlement.

Making a Living from
Worms
Dew worm avenue is being sug-
gested •as a new name for e.. street
in Barrie, owing to the countless
signs advertising 'the' sale of dew -
worms. Like taking in tourists over-
inight,, it is a profitable business,
and there are said to' be 300 people
who live on earth -worms during the
summer months in Midland alone.
People there who are cut obi relief
during the summer make a living
gathering and selling dew -worms to
fishermen at a cent apiece or $1 per
100. A dealer there says he sells
10,000 a week, and figures there
must be about ten times as many
sold in that town. The pickers are
paid 25e a hundred, -so they Make
much more if they can sell them dir-
ect to the trade instead of to deal-
ers. The man who sells 10,000 a
week has 16 people on his payroll,
and they spend the hours other peo-
ple are sleeping in gathering the
worms. The pickers are mostly
women, girls and boys. They must
keep the worms two days, and, if
they are then alive and full of ging-
er, the dealer buys therm, puts them
in clamp moss for two weeks, feeds
them, and then sells then out. One
active young lad, selling worms at
the wharf, is reputed to make be-
tween $500 and $000 a year.
Just a Printer's Error
What a difference one little lettet
makes. The other day while read-
ing a daily paper we came across
this startling heading, 'I"Scalded,
Child Wanders; Leads Hunt for
Hours". Reading the article we learn-
ed that a little lad near Glencoe
had wandered away from home and
was last seen near a cornfield ad-
joining a bush a short distance from
his home.
We also learned that instead of
the word "scalded", the unfortunate
lad had merely been scolded. Yes,
he was found a few hours later and
everyone was happy except the malt
who set the headinig for the article.
We imagine he knows all about print-
ers errors by this time, As an aet
of courtesy we won't[mention the
name of the paper. We make mis-
takes ourselves.

Lord Tweedsmuir To Visit
International Plowing
Match, October 13th
Governor-General Of Canada to be
Guest of Honor at World's Largest
Plowing Match, the International,
Near Barrie, Thursday, October 13,
Toronto, July 31:—An official visit
by ilis l8xcellency,, Lord Tweedsmuir,
Governor-General of Canada, to the
International Plowing Thatch at Mine:
sing, near Barrie, Ont., on Thursday,
October i'3th, was announced today
'by J. A Carroll, Manager of this an-
neal agricultural :event, the greatest
glowing match not only in the Br=
tisk Empire, but in the entire world.
Last year the attendance was over
109,000 at the four day event and this
record,' it' is expected, will to shatter-
ed this year. The dates are October
filth to lith inclusive.
'There is no doubt,"said ➢ir. Car-
roll, "that the \invitation of the On-
tario Plowmen's Association was ac-
cepted by His I3xcellency because of
his genuine interest in all phases of
agriculture a n d particularly good
Plowing ' and fine horses."
Scotland, the birthplace of. Lord
Tweedsmuir, is rich in plowing lore,
and her sons, well -skilled in the art,
have transplaatea a desire for good
cultivation in every part of the Bri-
tish 'Empire, particularly Canada,
where for over 100 years .plowing
matebes have been held.
"While there may be 79 or more
modern and powerfaL tractors in oper-
ation on a limey day double that num-
ber, about 1410 competitors, will use
strong reliable and well-groomed hoe-
ses, the cream of the plowing teams
in Canada. "A Horse Show is a spe-
cial feature of the Match" said Mr.
Carroll.
As His Excellency has expressed a
desire to spend about three hours at
Minesing, his hosts, the officers. of
the Ontario Plowmen's Association
are planning an interesting itinerary,
which will permit an inspection of
the nearby Forestry plantation, some
of the good farms in the area, the tent-
ed city, with its numerous exhibits er
farnn implements and home conveni-
ences, practical field demonstrations
and other interesting features.
We believe, said Mr. Carroll, "that
His Excellency will watch the plowing
contests with a knowing and keen In-
terest, and should he decide to put
his hand to the plow, thee is no doubt
a furrow straight, balanced and well
packed, will follow him across the
field."

WE HOPE FOR THE BEST
It is to be hoped the rumours com-
ing out of the West about the grass-
hopper plague are greatly exaggerat-
ed.. They seem to be, judging from
news dispatches, One would think
these rumours were Behead by some -
ono interested is boosting the price
of wheat, but where this would bane -
fit is hard to say,• Immediately after
the news that the West was being,
eaten up ,'ly grasshoppers game the
reassuring news that the plague was
hot nearly as bad as et first reported.
We trust the West is not going
through any more years of depression:
and that the crops in that part of the
country Bold tip to Spring expects
tions. Westerners, especially in the
drought areas, have put up with
enough these past seven or eight.
years and should have a respite.
We would like to see a few good
years in the West and have former
residents of Ointerio come back home
in thewinter sporting the coon"coats
they used to wear in days gone by.
