Forrest Sell Contracting Business — W. L. ("Big Bill") Forrest, for over 30 years a prominent dredging con- tractor on the Great Lakes, with headquarters in Goderich, has sold his business and equipment to the McNamara Construction Company, Toronto, and dredges and scows are new in the process of being outfitted for movement to Owen Sound. A .massive man, with flowing mustache and 10 -gallop hat, "Big Bill" Forrest is a colorful figure, widely known in many parts of Canada. He has had a flare for adventure, and his interests, which are large, have taken him Into gold mining and oil drilling, his faith in Canada's future knowing no bounds, For years, Mr, Forrest, a bachelor, has lived at the water -front at Goderich close to his boats and dredges, yet in his own way he has done much charitable work, he being a generous giver. He has had much to do with the building up of Goder- ich's harbor. He helped to finance the drilling for oil near Clinton and other 'Western Ontario points, where he believes oil abounds. He thinks and forcefully says billions of gold abounds in Northern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada, and that any enterprising man can still go out and make the proverbial million in jig. time.

He once was the subject of a whole page write up in the papers. What his future plans are, only Mr. Forrest knows, and so far he's not told anyone, Drowned In Lake Simcoe — Joseph Arthur Writt, 35, well known Stratford young man, and also a former Seaforth resident, and vet- eran of the present war, was drown- ed in Lake Simcoe, at Atherley, near Or'illia, Friday morning.

Alcoholics Join Science For Cure Read , , . as told in The American Weekly"with this Sunday's (July 11) issue of The Detroit Sunday Times ...about Alcoholics Anonymous, a society of rehabilitated drunkards aiding science in its struggle to stamp out excessive drinking. Get Sunday's Detroit Times i Want and For Sade Ads, It week tit Facts About Weeds It ,has been estimated in a much quoted report of the' Chamber of Commerce of the United States that 'The weed tax In America amounts to as much s $3,000,000,000 annual - y. This amount is 12 times the loss- es from animal diseases, nearly twice the estimated losses caused by plant diseases, and ,three times the estim- ated annual losses from insect pests of plants." If by America is meant the United States, then, on the basis of acreage under crap in the two countries, Canada's weed losses might amount to as much as $400,000,000 annual- ly. Losses caused by weeds may be through reducedreturns or through increased costs, Returns May be re-' duced when weeds crowd crop plants and deprive them of light, food and Moisture, Profits are decreased when weed impurities lower the grade of a good market sample, or otherwise af- fect quality, Increased costs begin at the preparation of a seed -bed and continue through seeding, cultivating harvesting, threshing and marketing the produce. Specific, instances are the larger consumption of twine and the extra' wear on machinery due to coarse -growing weeds. Eradication of noxious weeds is costly, and frequently interferes with rotations and choice of crops. Many weeds are unsightly aid dep- reciate the market value of land. Some are harmful to stock; others injure their products, with burrs in wool or stinkweed odor in milk. Oth- ers harbor insect and fungous pests of crops. By reduced yields alone, various published estimates based on questionnaire or experiment have placed losses ranging from 10 to 25 per cent or in special cases 50 per cent with those from the Prairie Provinces perhaps a third higher than in the rest of Canada.

With a good pasture, about half the grain norm- ally fed will be saved, but possibly the greatest interest at the moment centres around the pasturing of feeder pigs for market: Admittedly.. states Edward B. Fraser, Division of Animal Husbandry, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, wdlere proper- ly balanced feed mixtures are avail- able and cut green feed is fed, the pigs fed indoors will likely make the fastest and most economical gains, There is also more assurance of the pigs grading well, Where sufficient protein supple- ments cannot be procured, good Pas- tore does offer a partial substitute. It is important to start the pigs well, providing a balanced feed mixture for the weanlings pigs. 'From GO to 110 pounds, the growing ration fed on pasture may be somewHat lower than normal in protein content. Again, after 110 pounds, the finish- ing ration may consist only of grain without protein supplement if the latter is scarce. Following this plan, there will be a considerable saving of protein supplements through the use of pasture. It is not recommend- ed that the pigs be pastured ,from 150 pounds up to market weight. In fact, finishing under more confined conditions, either indoors or in a very small paddock, cannot be too strongly emphasized, In order to save feed but particu- larly protein supplements, it is nec- essary to have the swine pasture fresh and green.

When the pastures become bare or dry up, the feed should be increased accordingly. "Is your wife artistic?" "Artistic?
