St. David's Day Choir Recital From Wales Once, long ago, longbovemen of Wales won a spectacular victory on a battlefield where leeks thrived. That, it is said, is why the leek is one—and the senior—of the two national em- blems of Britain's oldest nation. The other is the daffodil, adopted only in recent times and the claim of which to national regard is still disputed.

Tobacco Production Tobacco acreage in Canada increas- ed by 20.7 per cent, in 1:935 and the crop of 916 million pounds was the largest ever harvested. The main ex- pansion was in the flue -cured ,produc- ingarea of Ontario where the increase was undertaken with a view to replen- ishment of depleted stocks of old leaf and to 'provide for an anticipated greater demand ie the United King - dont market, The higher production of 11938 will result in a material increase in the stacks of 'flue -cured tobacco in Cana- da, unless there is a substantial ex- pansion of exports to the United Kingdon. There was a sharp increase in exports to the United Kingdom during 11938 over 1937 but this was attributed to the relatively short stacks of Candadian tobacco in the United Kingdom at that time and to the fact that there was in Canada a large supply of high quality leaf from the 119317 crop available for export, Stocks in the t'nited Kingdom are now large and a recurrence of the (heavy exports of '1939 is considered unlikely for 11939. 'rhe flue -cured crop Is largely marketed through ,grower-buver .ar- rangement,, The negotiated minimum average price for the 1938 crop was set at 22.5 rents per pound or 2 cents belaw the 11937 minimum average. The 1937 crop was actually sold at 27.3 cents per pound or 2.8 cents above the negotiated minitnunh price. Since 193'6 there has -been a general tendency for 'prices to decline as a consequence of the "rapid decrease in !production, Current Farm Report Cattle brought particularly good prices at auction sales in Wellington County during the past month.

John Ross Had' Remarkable Career (By W, H. Johlislh tohat th London Pre;•ss.) There are few of the people of the Present generation who know any- thing of the ,pioneers' longing for . a religious service or a visit from a minister in their homes. Sometimes a member of the family would' 'pass away and in the absence of a clergy- man, the father or a neighbor would try to give a 'burial service, At other times, an elder or class leader would hold prayer meetings in the homes. Rut great was the joy when some minister would arrive and announce that he would 'be glad to !told a ser- vice in some .home in the neighbor- hood. Even though his visits were but once a month, early settlers look- ed forward to then eagerly. Such were the conditions in Bruce - field and vicinity until 1651; when, af- ter a church sial been built and a congregation organized, a call was extended to Rev, John Ross, a young man, recently ordained. Fresh from the Highlands of Scotland, he seemed to be imbued by a mysticism in his religious life that was never fully understood by many of his people. • He was a ,deep thinker, a man of .pro- found learning, with a faith in the absolute sovereignty of God that could nit be shaken. He might well have been likened to many of the prophets of the Old Testament, Possessed of an unfaltering faith in the Scriptures as a perfect guide for right living for everybody, he carried a copy with hini everywhere. Almost invariably he opened fhe Book at random when making a call or meeting a new acquaintance and read to then the verse that first caught his eye. Mr. Ross had full confidence that the passage thus found applied to each particular case. One day an elderly woman told the writer that she had stet the min- ister at three different times and each time he read the same passage and it was one that suited her case par- ticularly well. She lived some miles front Brucefield and did not know that Mr. Ross knew anything about her. At the beginning of the Franca - Prussian war he was talking to one of his -elders and said: "I am not afraid of Louis Napoleon—I have hint under a text and he cannot stir from it." The text was Isaiah 4003- 24. When the young Prince Imperial Was (killed 'by the Zulus, he said, "My text has been ;fulfilled to the bitter end," Turn up the passage and read it. Just one more instance. There was one man, named Archie, of large 'build, strong and brave, with a kind rheart and musical ability, 'hut Archie was a devotee of Bacchus and when tinder the influence, he was a ronght, quarrelsome man. One day in Brucefield, while on one of his sprees and staking the welkin ring, the min- ister ran across hila and rebuked him. 3Ir. Ross said, "It is the whisky in yon. Rome with you, but let us see what t•he Boole sayeth," Opening the Bible, he read, "The' Lord• hath need n{ ghee to work in His vineyard." Both men were sairprised with the words. Soon after this; as related by Dr. James Grassick, of Grand Forks, N. D., in itis brochure on brash folk. Archie hired with Elder Geordie For- rest, a quiet ratan. Under the influence of this worthy man and his wife. Archie changed his habits and later he became an elder of the kirk and an advocate of temperance. Known far and wide as a man of exceptional ability and learning, he had a number of calls to other places and, in fact, he was offered a profes- sorship in Knox College, but he re- fused, preferring to remain in his rural community. At the time of tate union of two Presbyterian denominations, Mr. Ross objected to the wording of part of the basis of union and would not go into the new 'body. A large percentage of his people held with him and those who did not left the church building and property to hint and his follow- ers, The others 'built .a new church and called a minister. But time is the great healer and today the Brucefield con•gregatien is a •prosperous one in the . United .Church with the Rev,' Harold 'Wright as pastor. After the opening of the Huron and Bruce Railroad in the spring of 118716, one Sunday afternoon the whistle of a locomotive disturbed the good people along the line. The next Sunday it was heard once more and Mr, Ross thought it was time to take action. He aroused the coninrunhtv,, appealed to the railroad company anti was given the 'promise that it would not occur again. In 11886, after 315 years of strenuous service, his ministry' closed with :his passing, His accomplished wife, Mrs. Anna Duncan Ross, 'pays a 'beautiful trib- ute to his ministry in her story ; of The Man with the Book,
