Among other early clergymen of
the Brucefleld and 'Varna area were
Rev. William Graham and Rev. J.
Moffatt. The former, the Free
Church minister, was stationed at
Egmondviile, six utiles, east of Bruce-

of The Old Kirk at Varna. Frequent

"Man With Bible"
By M,V,W, in the London Free
Press.
In a sailing vessel, on the Atlantic,
114 years ago, was a Scottish lad of
8, who was destined to become one
of the noted Canadian divines of the
last century—"The Man With The
Book"—Rev. John Roes, preacher in
the Scottish settlement f the Bruce -
field district, Stanley Township,
Huron County,
The Ross family, like many other
Highlanders from Sutherlandshire
and Ross, settled on the rolling
lands of Zorra Township, Oxford
'County. There John Ross received his
early education, under the super-
vision or his parents, David and
Bessie Malay Rosa, and such in-
structors as Rev Donald McKenzie,
minister and teacher of classics, and.
Lachlan McPherson, divinity stud-.
eat, who had charge of the public
school, and who later was a widely
known Presbyterian clergyman or•
East Williams, Middlesex County,
passing away at Ailsa Craig, in 1880.
In the school of Lachlan McPherson,
religious instruction received quite as
much attention as any ether subject
on the curriculum.
In 1845 John Ross entered the heo-
logical seminary, established the
home of Prof. Esson, James • street,
Toronto, and during the summer
months he was Gaelic preacher on
mission fields, Ile wasnoted as an
excellent reader. In 1850 he wrote his
final examination. One year was.

in s
It was at a communion in Lobo,
where he met Neil Ross from Bruce -
field, who was eager to secure a Gael-
ic preacher for the Scottish folk of
that district, Although John Ross ac-
companied Neil Ross to Huron Coun-
ty, he journeyed on to Kincardine.
On his return, however, he preach-
ed at Brucefleld. In 1851 he received
a call to the latter appointment.
There was also a call from the Ald-
borough settlement in Elgin County.
"Brumfield will be an 'open door
to the mission fields 'of' the north,"
Mr. Ross• stated. And to Brucefleld
the Gaelic teacher went. For 35
years,- Rev, .John Ross traveled up
and down the countryside, reading
the Scripture to men he met by the
way, to workmen oh the road, to
people on the streets of towns and
villages,.and to young and old in the
hones of his parish. So appropriate
were the passages selected that all
paused to listen. Not only was John
Ross the preacher but he was also
the friend • of the Huron County
people.

a student. The volume, "The Man

Facts About Weeds
Besides being responsible for re
timed returns or increased costs,
weeds , frequently interfere in more
involved ways with production pro-
grams. Weeds are often subject to
the diseases of related cultivated
plants, and, being overlooked, serve
as centres of pollution, for example,
white rust on wild members of the
mustard fa.niily may infect those in
cultivation. Even unrelated plants
niay be alternate hosts, as when
coinmon barberry and European
buckthorn, formerly much planted,
support respectively the stem rust of
wheat and other grains and crown
rust of oats, They are now outlawed.
Isolated or hedge plantings of these
shrubs may commonly be seen in the
centres of much heavier infection of
the crop in the vicinity than at a
great distance. Chokecherry is also
reported to be the alternate host with
peach for what has come to be known
as X -disease of peach.
Wild cherries and• plums have been
shown to over -winter insects which,
returning to an alternate host, serve
to spread its diseases. Plant lice, mi-
grating from -potato to these hedge-
row trees and back again on the re-
turn of another crop, spread virus
diseases wherever they meet it and
proceed in their feeding; and leaf-
hoppers moving from wild plum to
peach are credited f with doing about
the same for peach yellows. Whether
herbs, shrubs or trees, seek alternate.
hosts are weeds to be eradicated
where the situation warrants.
An example of somewhat different
pollution is afforded by the presence
c fiwl dcarrot in areas where seed of
cultivated carrot is to be produced.
Cross pollination of the crop by the
weed would quickly, nullify the gains
of centuries of breeding and ' selec-
tion. Where infestation is light, erad-
1catioln may be possible, but in Can.

Winter Wheat in
Ontario
This year whiter wheat seeding in
Ontario will likely receive more con-
sideration by farmers due to the
very wet conditions at the time of
seeding sprtngc rops, which prevent-
ed the full use of their land in 1943.
Flails for seeding winter wheat
should be in hand very soon. Success
with this crop depends on proper till-
age of the soil, adequate fertility, sel-
ection of fields with good surface
drainage, seeding at the proper time.
the use of good seed of approved var-
ieties and seed treatment, says, A.
G. 0, Whiteside, Cereal Division,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
If winter wheat is -to follow sod,
ploughing should commence four to
six weeks before seeding and the land
worked to bring it into good tilth.
Winter wheat may follow summer
fallow or inter -tilled crops where
these orops can he harvested early
enough to seed at the proper time.
For most localities the best dates to
sow winter Wheat are the last week
of. August to the end • of the first
weak of September, except in the
southwest coiner of the province
whbre the time might be extended
another week.
Winter wheat responds to good
fertility. Where fertility is apt to be
low, apply a good dressing of farm-
yard manure. If manure is scarce,
the application of artificial fertilizer
for grains, such as 212.0 at 260 lbs,
per 0010 000110/2t by means oft
a fsftil
iter attaclzmefor drill at the time
of seeding, will pay good returns.
Gr1'tss seed may be sown at the
time of sowing the ,fall wheat, bot
the clovers should not be sown until
early spying.
Seed of winter wheat should be.
treated with one of the mercurial
dusts, This will not only protect the
crop from bunt or stinking smut, but
will be a safeguard against damage
from root rota that attack the young
seedlings. Loose smut, another troll-
blesonte disease, can be lessened by
using seed from previous crops which
were free, or by the hot water treat-
ment.
Many farmers ill Ontario are grow-
ing impure varieties of winter
wheat. From a collection of winter
wheat samples examined by the Cer-
eal Division, Dominion Experimental
Farms Service, and obtained from
most of the important wheat produc-
ing counties last year, 30 per cent of
these samples were mixtures of red
and white kernels. Seed of the chosen
type anchtg d Purity may lee obtained

mental Station, 00 the local Agricul-

variety of winter wheat in Western
Ontario, and is favored by most
growers except in Kent County where.

inate. For Eastern Ontario a new var-
iety, Rideau.
The average yield in pounds per
acre for the past ten years has been
higher for winter wheat than for .bar-
ley or oats. Many farmers, therefore,
have found winter wheat a profitable
crop to grow for feeding purposes. It
has also been looked upon as a pro-
fitable cash crop in Western Ontario
at least, as it enjoys a steady market
for milling purposes.

SOLDIER of the SOIL
THIS year the Canadian Farmer urgently needs
help. He needs your help to produce the food so
necessary for victory. Many thousands of farad
workers are serving in the Forces, so that the farmer
—the Soldier of the Soil—is shorthanded, but
shorthanded as he is, he is called upon to produce
more food than ever before. Food is one of themost
powerful weapons of war. Grains, bacon, dairy pro.
duets, eggs, beef, fruit, vegetables -FOOD to feed
our armies, our allies and our people we must have.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
You may be a school teacher, student, business or
professional man, an office or store clerk—no matter
what you are, if you have a few hours, days, weeks,
or months of free time this summer, you can do
your country and the farmer a great and patriotic
service by helping out on the farm. You may be
inexperienced, but you still can help. You will find
work on the farm healthy and congenial. It will give
you the satisfaction of feeling that you have brought
Victory nearer.
