Probably the erre w o no a n, whose broom was a tree branch, schooled her daughters_ similarly in the "Art of Sweeping." Benjamin Fre':'in introduced broomcorn in America. While visiting in Euceee, he plucked a single seed fconn his hostess's whisk broom,. terepped it in cot- ton, and put it in his gold snuff- box. Like Mr. Finney's turnip, 'it grew, and it greet'.

For many years Amsterdam, N.Y., led the country in bi•oommaking. Broomcorn continued its way westward to McPherson county, tan., where Frank G. Hawkin- son, Swedish emigrant, brought It in 1809, The crop fitted well into the agricultural picture le Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebras- ka. Almost every community had a broom man - a termer who not only grew broomcorn but also made brooms. Before spurring work opened up on the farm, the broom man would load his spring wagon with brooms. There would he big brooms for Mother, whisk brooms for Father, and little brooms for little girls. Everybody welcomed our broom man, Johnny Jones. His coating meant that winter, our season of leisure, was past. Fa- ther must get into the fields, Mother to leer house cleaning and garden making, and we children to our annual task of yardwork. Nightmare 'frith i A Happy Ending It was one of those night- marish moments every parent prays won't happen. The well was 40 feet deep and dark. Peering through the snail opening in its sealed cover, you could hardly see the water some 2e feet down unless a glint u£ light struck its surface. The faint gleam that met the eves of 21 -year-old Mrs. Wayne Curdle when she peered into the well ane clay last month looked at first like such a reflection. Them with a shock of horror she realized what it was: "I saw time blond hair of nay baby floating near the surface." What she did next, Mrs. Cor- clle could scarcely remember af- terward. She recalled shouting for heap hoping to be heard by neighbors nearest the Cord'ie house outside the small North Georgia town of LaFayette. It was late morning, and her hus- band was at work. She couldn't be sure if anybody had heard her cries or not. She couldn't wait to find out, either. Iter 17 -month-old daughter had tod- dled out of the kitchen into the yard only a matter of minutes before. The child could still be alive. But certainly she couldn't be alive much longer. Somehow the young mother squeezed herself through the 1 - foot -wide opening. In the dim- ness she found she could brace her feet against one side of the shaft - it was a little more than a yard in diameter and her back against the other. The shalt's walls of rough fieldstone offered footholds and handholds. Slowly she worked her way down, fighting off the impulse to let herself drop. Finally she reached the water. groped beneath its surface, fish- ed out the limp body. It seemed lifeless. Still braced against the shaft walls, she got the child onto her lap. "I pumped her arms, then I blew into her mouth like I had read about people doing. I didn't know if it was the right thing or not. Then all cf a sudden she started crying." How long it took her to weak her way back up the shaft, inch by inch, clutching the child in one arm, Mrs. Cordle didn't know. All she knew was that she made it, that helping hands of a neighbour were waiting et the top and -- above all else - that her baby was alive. CROSSWORD PUZZLE' IL.

Management of the Dairyland Foods Limited, Spencerville, Ont. last month pleaded guilty in Magistrate's Court at Prescott to five charges of selling cheddar cheese which contained less than 48 per cent fat on the dry basis - the minimum requirement. A fine of $125 and costs of $97.50 was imposed, and the cheese was forfeited lb the Crown. 4. e Also last month, the firm of Edgar Laberge, Chicoutimi, Que., pleaded guilty to five charges of selling butter which contained fat other than milk fat. A fine of $250 and costs was imposed, and the butter was confiscated. h t. 10 Thanks to abundant hay crops in the last two years, production of timothy seed in 1960 is expect- ed to reach a record figure ex- ceeding 23 million pounds. Brome grass, too, the second most important Canadian forage grass after timothy, may produce more seed than in any year since 1952. More than half of tile timothy seed comes from western On- tario. Eastern Canada, where timothy has for generations been the basic forage grass for dairy and beef herds, increased its out- put by four million pounds this year. Yields were reported to be about 300 pounds per acre with quality generally up to average, but there was considerable hull- ing due to inexperience in har- vesting. ,. In Western Canada timothy seed production is mainly regis- tered and certified seed of the variety Climax, and 80 per cent of the acreage in Climax was in the prairie provinces. Yields, however, were below expecta- tions. Timothy production has al- most doubled from 12.7 million pounds in 1956 because ample hay harvests in 1959 and *1960 enabled farmers who generally do not grow seed, to harvest seed after their pasturage and hay requirements had been met. h e e There is at least twice as much timothy seed sold for planting each Year as any other forage grass and considerable amounts are also exported - 3.5 million ponds to the United Kingdom in time crop year ended June 30, 1960, and smaller amounts to a dozen other countries for a total of 6.4 million pounds. Although 1.1 million pounds were sold to the United States, a slightly higher amount was imported. The United States expects to have its largest timothy seed crop in five years, an estimuted 43.4 million pounds. N N ! Brome grass, the leading for- age grass of Western Canada, will increase its seed harvest this year, a spurt in Saskatchewan production Imor'e than offsetting the rut inflicted on the Peace River, Alia., region by hot, dry weather. Alberta produces more than half tete crop, The estimated 12 million pounds of Canadian brome grass seed compares with a 9.3 mil- lion pounds average for 1930-59 and is two million pounds great- er than last year's. Brome is the staple of the western pastures as timothy is of Eastern Canada. U.S. brome grass seed production may be lot': er than Canada's this year. O,Iter western grass seed pro- duction which will be as good or better than the previous year'g are crested wheat grass, meadow fescue, Kentucky blue grass and creeping red fescue which re- ceived a boost to record propor- tions from favorable weather in British Columbia's Peace River area. Canada blue grass seed, grown only in Ontario amounted to 75,- 000 pounds this year, three-quar- ters of 1959 production. H e Canada exported 50 million pounds of forage seed to a score of countries in the last crop year. Most popular in quantity was sweet clover, 10 million pounds, creeping red fescue, ten million pounds, timothy and brome grass. The biggest customer was the United States with 35.5 mil- lion pounds, three tines as much as it exported to Canada. The Soviet Union bought a token quantity, of alfalfa seed from Canada last year.

This was the prob- lem in Broadchalke village when a number of cottages needed re - thatching. Mr. Bundy, my ad- jacent farmer, was quite under- standably concerned with both expense and practicality, . . I championed beauty and im- practicability, casting my lot for a continuation of thatched roof and walls, both for the cottages adjoining my own house and for Mr, Bundy's very visible barn across the way. , After the usual ambiguities and pour-parlers, Mr. Bundy agreed that art should survive if economy were compensated. The thatchers arrived one misty June morning, seated in all their glory at the head of a golden wagon -load of special sheaves. They brought with them the timeless aura of their art, a smell of fields, an awareness of nature and a sense of human dignity that somehow wove it- self into our daily lives even as the dark, stained thatching of a decade earlier began to disap- pear beneath the bright new weave created by skillful fingers. At first sight, the instruments used by our two artists in straw seemed rather primitive. But no- thing could be more adroit than their manipulation of sickle and shears as they cut and overlaid hundreds of pounds of reed mat- ting for a single roof. Special reeds were used for the opera- tion, and had been gathered and dried some time previously. Each bundle was cut on the diagonal As the layering got under way, it was not unlike watching Lil- liputian hairdressers braiding the tresses of some Brobdingn- agian lady. Afterwards, when fine roofs were covered and all had been neatly trimmed, spe- cial triangular designs of dec- orative thatch were added to top the effect, giving the cottagee thg air of an African village. Rarely have I seen workmen with such a look of content or pride in their occupation as the two gentlemen whose mild man- ners ingratiated them to us all. . . At high noon, the artists Could be found sitting among the reeds, eating a simple lunch of cheese and bread, In the course of con- versation, they would pick up stray reeds and feel the texture, commenting on the smell, the colour of the material, its clean- Iiness and unusual design. Be- side them on the ground might be an empty wasps nest, a mini- ature alhambra of cunningly manufactured paper which they had saved to take to the village school, that the children might see an example of fantastically elaborate insect architecture. When the last thatching had been done, the men departed in the wagon they had come , in taking with them the poetry they had emanated -echoes of Shakespeare that had been evok- ed by their beautiful process of working, eating and responding to eternal verities. Left behind were the fresh results of their labours, cottages basking in honey -coloured loveliness, their simple headdresses as spectacul- ar as any worn by Marie An- toinette. -From "The Face of the World," by Cecil Beaton. 155115 44 - 1960 J LESSON By ltev.
