The threshing machine has been one of the agencies responsible for the ,present weed problem. If the machine is not well cleaned after. thrashing and before moving, weed seeds may be carried from one farm. to another and be distributed along roadways and lanes. Some threshers have always taken pride in their work and cleaned their outfits before moving. Others have never done so. Weed seeds are shaken or blown off such mills when moving and road- sides, fence lines and fields become polluted, Legislation in the weed control act now makes it necessary for every threshing machine to be thoroughly cleaned before moving from. eaten to farm or before travelling upon a public roadvxy. This operation will take only a few minutes and will save many dollars and much hard work. The matter of removing weed seeds from the grain when threshing and al cleaning the machine before moving is one for co-operation be- tween the thresher and the farmer. Farmers are urged to assist in clean- ing the outfit after threshing has been completed. Do not permit the threshing machine to carry weed seeds on to your farm. insist on a clean job and a clean mill irh .edea <d Ieden .;ir!s 17 to.

Machines When threshing has been com- pleted and the machine moves on, the farmer's first job should be the dis- posal of weed seeds removed during the threshing. says J. D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. The practice of shovelling them outside the born is too prevalent and should be discouraged. When this is done, millions of seeds are carried by the wind. water, animals, birds, and by ratan himself and new areas are in- edfested. Carelessness in disposal of weed seeds is one direct cause of the weed problem. it is important that all weed seeds be gathered Up im- mediately after the mill has left and burned or buried deeply. Outdoor threshing is now common throughout Ontario. Much can be said in its favor. However, if a field which is badly infested with sow thistle or Canada thistle is threshed from the etook on a windy clay, enough seeds will be carried for miles to infest an entire community. Where such con- ditions exist, farmers are urged to have some consideration for their neighbors and to selet•t if possible a location which will prevent seeds from slowing over adjacent farms. A spraying device is now being used ef- feetivsly by a number of threshers. y means of this equipment a fine tpr..y of 'wateris forced into the blower when threshing.

Our guess would be that you have not; and we are unable to tell just where you could obtain one. Another question we would like to ask is: "Did you ever use one? No!" Well then, you have missed a kind of exercise that at times would out- class for a brief spell, at least, the trials and tribulations that befell Job. In the days of pioneers al least one bootjack was in every household. In Springhill there was one in pos• session of the minister, the tavern keeper, the cobbler, the doctor, the blacksmith, the farrier, the store- keeper. the miller. tate carriage maker. 0115 every place, says Mr. J. Mac- Tavisit. in a recent article. Its use was not confined entirely for pulling off boots. with the result that although it was needed for that purpose every night, it was often a THEATRE Seaforth NOW PLAYING "Oklahoma Kid" STARRING Humphrey Bogart Jaynes Cagney Mon.

The proper, place for it was sup- posedly behind the kitchen stove, or it might be suspended by a nail in the woodshed. Seemingly it was in its proper place except the time it was wanted. Someone may have made it a stopper for the door, a prop for the window, or taken it to scare away the hens or fling at the cat. if it weren't found soon, likely the small boy would be sent to borrow one ft'onr a neighbor. The doctor owned. two or three bootjacks but on account of the bor- rowing habit he might as well have had none. The earliest recollections we have about bootjacks were of those that were hand -made from crotches off limbs; then we think of the ones that were fashioned from slabs or boards, The boards would be sawn in proper lengths, a V-shaped piece cut from one end, and just back of this a piece of wood nailed on crosswise, suffic- ient to raise the front a trifle more than heel -high. Then the day came when interest centred on a new contrivance which the store -keeper obtained and dis- played hanging from a nail just out- side the shop door, It was east from iron in the shape of a huge beetle shaped to be precisely adapted to the removal of boots. Thenthe blacksmith, who believed himself possessed of an inventive mind and determined not to be out- done in that respect, set to work with the result that before long cel" tain persons, considering themselves artistically inclined, were ordering jacks fashioned according to their own idea of design or pattern. Sa.n. there were various styles of boon jaeks to be seen in the different homes, but the home-made woode:: one continued to hold sway. Long boots predominated back it those days. tete cheapest odes mads to measure by the shoemaker being of split leather. The popular grade, however, which was superior itr wear- ing quality, contained cowhide, but a few young men who wiihed to have something exceptionally nice and out- standing for Sundays and parties, had a pair made from choice calf or kip, with heels rather high and slight and with toes plain. Boots with plain tops were most in evidence. but certain individuals pre• terred to have them adorned at the top with an inset of royal blue or red leather. The lugs for pulling the boots on were usually stitched to the inside at the top. One of the great innovations for schoolboys was the incoming of cop• Per toes. Every boy at school soon put in an appearance with the cop. per tae he displayed with narked Arida But getting back to the time when the bootjack was put to its proper use. In having a boot pulled off by aid of the bootjack, the boot wan forced into the V -space, then some. One would press 00 the toe to keep the heel from slipping away from the `•s eroteh. Whenever boots were tight -fitting, hard and unweildy or were soaked with water, the removal was difficult and tempers became tested, and to say persons swore is to put the mat- ter mildly. In order to have best results from the bootjack, it was necessary to have boots in prince condition. To get the result desired it was advisable to have them well greased. This was done by melting a mixture at lamp - Meek and tallow. then rubbing the solutini Well over the surface and into the creases till the leather Ire- can:e soft and pliable and wet- - resisting. • Changes in stylet of footwear were largely' responsible for the general disuppearance of bootjacks.
