For some years Mrs. Jackson had

LAND STILL r,,YING FALLOW.
The people of ,Seaforth have .beep
taking the idea of increased produc-
tn seriously, so much so that last
week they ' had their recreation
grounds ploughed up and planted to
beans or something of the kind. Sea -
forth has always rather prided itself
upon o its r
ace track but proliab]}+ the
people are arguing that beans will
prove a better crop than bets-. Al-
though much has been done toward
getting a larger acreage under cul-
tivation this
ul-tivatiottthis year there is still much
uncultivated land inside and outside
the corporation of Clinton which . if
planted with beans or potatoes
might have yielded many:bush'els of
food stuff in the auttunn.
