"Yes, tea atn" and "No. ma'am; and "No, Sir" and "Yes, Ste" to adults? A. "Yea, sir" as still correct for a boy when speaking to his father or other men, but a girl should use the name of the per. son spoken to, as "Yes, Mrs. Jones." The word ,"Ma'am." is no lodger ein good form, and when a child doesn't know the name of the person, he should add something to "yes" or "00" as, "Yes, it is," or "'No. I donet think so." Q. is it permissible to sip water while one has food in Inds mouth? A. No, this is considered bad manners.

It seems to me it should be the responsibility of town- ship councils to see that old cerne- teries are not allowed to become neglected, weed -infested areas. Weed -spraying machines are used to keep down noxious growth on country maces -- why not a good spraying tor the• old pioneer cemeteries? Not that we particu- larly favour the weed -spraying unless it is followed by a clean- up job on the unsightly debris Of dead weeds and shrubs that are left behind. In the case of Genre_ teries that could easily be done.

Mimes and lal'in buildings used to be an indication u1' a prosperous farm community. But conditions have changed. Quite a number of. tarn, houses are occupied by people who are not farming at all. lit some cases farm property has been split up 'mese and buildings belonging to one man who may be working in alt industrial plant ct few miles away and earm acreage sold to a neighboring farmer, All this may not be obvious '1,o the motor- ing publie but farm people can see pretty well what is going on. '1 visited one little village last week, et one time the eentre Of a farming communily, and I was told that not one 0f the adjacent farms was now being cultivated, the older folk being past heavy work and the younger folie attrac- ted by the wages paid in nearby industrial planta Of course, some of the farmers have most of their fields dnwn hi grass and keep. a few cattle. I suppose we may be included in that eeditedy as we still have fifteen head at cattle. However, this year wo gave "e junior farmer' a chancre to put in twelve acres of oats for him- self and pasture tor seven head of cattle. This young fellow is not 0 junior farinm in the sense that that term is generally un- derstood. He is just a young chap trying to make 1 go of things on his own. It would appear thele •are two types Of junior fanners In one type we find the sons of successful farmers, who not having the sole responsibility 01 the home farm on their shoul- ders are thus able to get out and take advantage 01 short courses, demonstrations and field days in connection with the various branches of agriculture and ani- mal husbandry. There is also another type of junior farmer struggling along unassisted, who deserves to be encouraged. It might be said of him that he is learning the hard way as he is too busy making a living to take in short courses or compete with organized junior farmers at fairs and exhibitions.. He is not necessarily ignorant or less interested, He c a n read ARTICLES in farm magazines or keep up with the modern farm- ing methods by radio — and usu- ally does Ten years from now tt will be interesting to note which type of young fellow has made the better farmer Here is a note o.t comfort — just do case you are feeling the heat! This is the longest day — the year is halt gone already. It won't be long before we are shovelling snow again and laying in our winter's supply of oil or meal. How Far Can You See? As we stand un the seashore the sky acid the sea seem to meet, way off in the distance. 'Phe meeting -place is the horizon. If we stand on a level plain we can, if there are no trees or buildings in the way, see where, the end of the land seems to touch the bot- tom trim of the dome we call the sky. That also is the norizon. The distance to the horizon depends on how lliglt our eyes are above the level of the sea or above the level of the land across which we are looking. A. boy standing on the shore looks out on the sea from a height about four feet greater than the !eel of the sea—the height of his eyes above sea level.
