NEWS OF HAPPENINGS
IN THE COUNTY AND
DISTRICT
EXPENSIVE FEED OF PEAS
One of Mount Forest's enthusiastic
gardeners, Eric Ilutchinson, had been
looking forward to an excellent crop
of garden peas from his patch on the
outskirts of town, as their growth
had been heavy. When he was about
to pick a good supply for his home
use, he found someone had preceded
him and stripped the plants clean.
Examining plants at the other end of
the garden he noticed a wrNtwatch
dangling from one
of the plants
where it had fallen from the wrist of
the vegetable thief. The watch was
later valued at $10 and the garden
enthusiast thinks the owner of the.
watch will hardly wish to reclaim it.

COW PERFORMS STRANGE FEAT
A cow owned by Wm. MacKenzie
of Langside is performing a strange
feat, which has occurred only once
before in the experience of the local
veterinary, Dr. C. C. Evely.
Following an illness, the outer skin
of the animal dried up like a shingle
and was shed in pieces, leaving the
Animal "as pink as a new-born babe".
A heart condition - that the animal
had is believed to be the cause of the
strange occurrence, which resulted
in an improper' circulation of blood,
causing the outer skin to die.
The cow is getting a new hide and
is growing fat and healthy after per-
forming this feat, that qualifies it
forthe believe it or not column.

CHICKEN' WITH FOUR LEGS
Every so often nature veers from
her set course and the results are wild
and weird,, none more so than a four -
legged chicken hatched at the faun
of Jack Cuyler, Kincardine township.
For eight weeks the chick wandered
with its fellows through grass and
hay, scratched in the barnyard and
led a normal life. Sunday it died
from natural causes. The chick was
normal in dvery respect except that
it had two -sets of legs, one at the
front, the other at the rear of its body..

DOINGS IN THE SCOUT
WORLD
A Boy Scout Cliff Rescue
The rescue after two hours of ef-
fort of a young woman clinging to
the face of a cliff was an achieve-
ment this summer of the 6th Bridge-
water Boy Scout Troop, Somerset,
England. A young man and his fian-
cee had been caught ht bythe tide in
a cove, and attempted to scale the
cliff. The young 'woman was unable
to complete the ascent, and her com-
panion, finally gaining thetop, dis-
covered the Scouts, and called upon
them for help. With rope and tackle
the Scouts descended the cliff by .an-
other route, then ascended to the
young lady, secured her with their
lines, and climbing ahead, hauled her
by stages to safety.

William McLeod
Former Bund Leader, Musician and
Dancer of Note.
"Music and dancing as hobbies and
professions, have played ed maJor roles
in the life of Will MacLeod, 711 Stan-
ton Street, for more than 50 years,"
says The Pott Huron Times Herald,
of a former well known resident of
Seaforth.
"Mac," as Ise is called by many
friends and acquaintances in Port
Huron, was born in Seaforth, Ont.,
May •7th, 1873. He was the son of
Malcolm and Catherine MacLeod, of
Scotch ancestry. As a boy, "Mac"
learned- the wood -carving trade in a
furniture factory. He also learned
to play the cornet and became so
proficient that he joined the Thirty-
third battalion band,. of the Ontario
militia, at the age of 18. Two years
later he became director of the or-
ganization and he held the position
for twenty years.
During this time he operated a
anisic store and for several years di-
rected the Clinton, Ont., band.
In 1910 he came to Port Huron and
has been cornetist with local -bands
since. He is a member of Port Hur-
on city band.
Mr. MacLeod was one of Canada's
finest Irish jig and Scotch dancers
many years and claims he was never
defeated in competition after winning
the Dominion championship when a
voting man. He travelled with a pro-
fessional troupe out of Toronto for
many years, playing leading theatres
in Western Canada, adding comedy
to his dance routines. When his an-
nual tours ended, he returned to Sea -
forth, continued his band .work and
taught dancing and instrumental mu-
sic.
Since coming ' to Port Huron Mr.
MacLeod has been a salesman for
Grinnell •Bros. music house, except
for two years, when he was manager
of the state ligtior store. He resign-
ed a few months ago and returned to
the Grinnell company as a piano
salesman.
Since leaving•Ontario, he has often
returned to -Clinton to "conduct its.
band .ancl on several occasions has of-
ficiated asJ g ud •e in Scotch and Irish.
dance contests in Ontario cities.

TWO PARTIES JOCKEY
FOR POSITION
Mose, people in Ontario are probab-
ly at a loss to understand, why they
have been plunged into a general el-
ection at the present juncture. As
,far as can be seen the Hepburn Gov -i
ernment is not faced with any issue
or situation n -wluch challenges its
right to continue to administer the
affairs of the Province under the
mandate given it three years ago,
The motives for the election are pure-
ly political -= the feeling that condi-
tions are more favourable than they
maybe nearer e lea. the expiration of e
p h
Legislature's 1 term, coupled, possibly,
with the hope that an election may'
afford a way of escape from some of
the difficulties that face the Prem-
ier. For their part, the Conservative
leaders also welcome an. election, be-
cause they look forward with some
confidence to a return to power. The'
immediate factor in causing Mr. Hep-
burn to depart from his oft repeated
promise that there would be no elee-
tion this year, doubtless is the, belief
that he has caught the new Conserva-
tive leader at a disadvantage in con-
nection with his attitude to the C.I.O.
Unquestionably Mr. Rowe made a
false step there, and is finding dif-
ficulty in extricating himself from
the pit into which he fell. But it is a
question whether Mr. Hepburn will
be able to make fear of the C.I.O. the
issue � of the campaign. There
are other questions . that will influ,
ence large sections of the electorate.
Meantime, let us hope that their dis-
cussion will be carried on free from
the personalities that have'character-
ised Provincial politics of late, and
that have made a bear garden of the
Legislature. However much t h e
politicians may disagree as to the
wisdom, or eyen as to the honesty of
certain measures, they willlose noth-
ing by debating the issues in a digni-
fied way on their merits, and by re-
fraining from offensive references to
their political opponents.

fish attitude to accept everything' the
home town has to offer but give
nothing in return.
Fortunately, there are a ,consider-
able number who realize their respon-
sibility, and who wish to give some-
thing in return, not simply by paying
taxes which cover no small part of
what every citizen receives, but as
theni'
S tths Pall editor Falls dater writes:
"1 want to give more; I want
any own free. will to give enough,
that I can truthfully say, 'This is
niy town,' so that I can take pride
in its prosperity, in the honor which
comes to its citizens and , all that
inakes,it greater and better. I can
clo this only by
y , a part of
the town, by giving it generously
of myself. In this way only can
even in. a small part, pay the great b
debt I owe to any town."
A DEBT ALL OF US OWE
"If all my citizenship accounts
were balanced at this • date, I would
be the debtor. Haven't I all these
years lived within the limits of the
town and shared all its benefits?
Haven't I had the use of its library,
park and public places? Haven't I
had the protection of its fire, police
and health departments? Haven't
its people,during all this time, been
gathering for me from the four cor-
ners of the earth, food for my table,
clothing for any body and material
for my home? Hasn't this town fur-
nished the patronage for my busi-
ness? Hasn't it furnished the best
friends of my life, whose ideals
have been my inspiration, whose kind
kind words have been niy cheer and
whose helpfulness has carried ane ov-
er the greatest difficulties?"
In these words, the Smiths Falls Re-
cord -News summarizes the debt all
of us owe to our home town, and re-
calls to the mind of those who show
no inclination to put their shoulder
to the wheel and help the community
FERTILIZERS
Fertilizers are best applied at the
time the wheat is sown, through the
fertilizer compartment of a combin-
ed fertilizer and grain drill. This
provides for the fertilizer being sown'
in the drill-rowwith the grain. Usu-
ally enough soil is nixed with the
fertilizer to prevent injury from, this
active concentrated plantfood coming
into direct contact with the seed in
any considerable quantity.
Some fenders are reporting good
results from sowing fertilizer through
an attachment for the ordinary grain
drill. Some
have mixed the fertiliz-
er and seed wheat together and sown
all through an ordinary grain drill
box. In very dry weather and with
fertilizer which is dry and granulate A
ed, this may be done successfully, but '
if there is much humidity in the
air,or fertilizer does not flow
freely, there is grave danger of un-
even sowing, and of injury to the
drill
WHAT TO USE
It is impossible to give blanket re -
Commendations for wheat on all soils,
since each field has its own cropping
and manuring history. Moreover,
some fields have distinct variation in
soils and fertility levels.
It would be necessary to have a
fertility test made of every wheat
field in order to get more definite
check up on the supply of available
plantfood. While this may be desir-
able, yet in a great many cases, no
test willb a isfade.
The following recommendations as
to fertilizing fall wheat are made so
as to give practical help where indi-
vidual soil tests have not seen made:
On Loam soil, following a medium
application of mature or where clo-
ver has been plowed .under, fertilize
with 200 lbs. per acre of 20%c or 16%
Superphosphate at 250 lbs. per acre.
For Medium Heavy Clay Loams,
with manure or • clover, use 0-12-6 at
, 5
250 lbs. per acre,
For Light Loams, with clover or
manure, -use 250 1b5. per acre of 0-
12-10 or 0-12-15.
For Heavy Soils, without manure
or clover, use 250 lbs. per acre of
2-12-6 or 3-10-5, or 2-16-6 if soil is
acid in reaction,
For Light Soils, without manure
or fertilizers, use 250 lbs. per acre
to progress that it is manifestly a sel- of 2-12-10.
