I TOLMES ADDRESSES HOSPITAL AID (Continued from page 1)tees followed and the correspondence was read. There ,was some discussion and it was finally decided to hold a Hospi- talDay, May 12th, which is National Hospital Day or Florence Nightin- gale Day, Mrs. Rhynas, the Presi- dent of the Provincial: Hospital Aids Association will be epeeial speaker for the occasion and further an- nouncement will be made later. • Mrs, Chas. Holmes of Seaforth ad- dressed the meeting at this time. In a very pleasing• manner she complim- ented the Clinton ladies on their or- ganization so far, and then told us some of her r reasons for supporting Hospital work. Apart from being a nurse herself and having special in- terest in the nursing profession, she supported the work of •the• hospital because it employed quite a number of persons and was an asset to the town from the material side and It was nice to have a place to take our dear ones when they are sick and need special care, and for a better and higher motive to bring help and heal- ing to those who suffer and to stip ply little delicacies, flowers, fruit and other things such as, even clothing, to those who need it, Mrs. Holmes was the one who started the Seaforth Hospital Aid and she now represents the Aid on the hospital Board. She stated that one reason of their suc- cess was that they followed the mot- to, namely, ;'We do not wish to run hospitals but to aid them." Under three heads, membership, meetings and money, Mrs. Holmes told us what their Association is doing, but as each Association has to work those things out as best suited to their own community, we need not enlarge. Closing her address, Mrs, Holmes said that they always followed the, constitution and opened each meeting with prayer, and when you have the Lord with you, it is always well. Open discussion followed and a social hour was enjoyed. The Social Committee did not spare any trouble in having a very attrac- tive tea .table. The table ,was laid with a beautiful linen cut -work table cloth and decorated with daffodils and Iris and lighted candles. Tea was poured by Mrs. Col. Combe and Mrs. (Dr.) Shaw, and dainty sandwiches and cookies were served. Before the meeting adjourned Mrs. A. T. Cooper and Mrs. Harold Law- son moved a very hearty vote of thanks to the speaker of the evening and Mrs. Morley Counter presented Mrs. Holmes with a bouquet of Spring Flowers. The tweeting closed with God Save the Ring. SEED CLEANING Important Farin Job Many natural and uncontrollable risks' must be taken in producing crops. There are, however, many factors that enter into crop produc- tion which are controllable. Atnong these is the preparation of grain for seed. This is 'a farm job that can usually be done during the five months after threshing in the fall to within one month of seeding in the spring. When cleaning and grading of seed is left until the busy seeding time, the work is sometimes rushed and consequently not so carefully done. Best results are obtained when the capacity of the seed cleaning and gradingmachines is not overtaxed. Many machines do much better work when they are operated considerably under their commercially rated capa- cities. It seems to be a good plan to have the work of preparing seed done when the weather; is favourable, and at least one month before seeding. There are three main reasons for cleaning seed, namely, the removal of weed seeds; to retain well developed seeds of high vitality, and to have seed of -uniform size and freedom from obstructions. The annual loss due to weed seeds is very great. Where .soil moisture becomes more limited, the control of weed growth becomes »more. essential. Noxious weeds, especially those which are likely to be introduced on farms where they are not yet 'prevalent, should removed. ix d be With regard to retaining well de- veloped seeds of high vitality, plump seeds of strong vitality may endure adverse growing conditions ' because of the stronger seedlings which are supported by the greater food re- serves of the well developed seed. Uniformity of seed is' important. Uni- form seed free from awns, hoods, and inert material will run' through the drill cups' freely. Seed which can be delivered through the drill with the highest degree of regularity is more evenly spaced in the drill rows in the ground and: is thus able to compete more effectively with weed growth. Full information about the clean- ing of cereal grain$, flax, grass, and clover seeds is given in the bulletin of ?'Weeds and Weed Seeds" which may be obtained free on application to the Publicity and Extension Branch Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. •• Accidents and Compensation During the month of February there were 4,942 accidents reported to The Workmen's ,Compensation Board, as compared with 4,689 during Jan- uary, n- uarY and 4,428 during February a -year ago. The benefits awarded amounted' to $484,875.03, of which $395,825.82 was for compensation and $89,049,71 for medical aid.

No, you don't need to laugh at that either. We saw you wink. Last Friday evening was certainly an enjoyable one in the social life of our young students. There were two good basketball games. The girls teams, whose names we do not know, put up a keen struggle. We must, however, accuse them of being, some- what short-winded. They seemed to be taking "time out" every time they ran to the end of the gym. Speed Limit On Highways May Be Abolished It appears almost certain that the present speed limit of 35 miles an hour may be abolished. A measure has been beinto the House dealing with this matter, and we will no doubt hear more about it in the near future, We think the blue-bloomered-babes defeated the white -waisted -winners. For confirmation of this see any 01 the girls teams. Sorry we cannot publish the names of the teams, but since we never ate seen in the cam- pany of young ladies we are not equippedwith the above : information. Miss Beattie was the very capable. referee. The boys put up a real struggle if scratches and scrapes count for any- thing. Two teams, the Whites and the Greys waged battle. The Whites symbolical of innocence, lost by the` score of 12 to 8. They could have won, but always keeping up to their name innocence, they did not dispute with the referee, cheat as their op- ponents were strongly suspected of doing, nor did they tramp on their opponents toes. The referee on this occasion was Mr. Franks. We cer- tainly like his manner of refereeing. The teams: Greys—Holmes, Biggart, Clegg, Monteith, Corless, Filshie.. Whites — Hovey, Finch, Haw Meteit, Dougan, Clancy. • "equipped (-- A PERSONAL MESSAGE f rD�$9 FredBray I believe that 1937 will be a profitable year for the poultry - . man Who lays his plans well and carries them out thoroughly— who refuses to be stampeded one whsn Ire would stay "i b: - The present relationship be - tween feed prices and egg and poultry prices is only teenier - ary, What is' more important to 'your poultry plans is the probable relationship between hem next summer and fall, What with more employment in the cities, heavier tourist traf- fie. and the general slaughter of laying flocks, I expect to see egg prices more than offset Feed prices before midsummer. lit fact, T expect to see an. act. nal shortage of eggs by then.
