A., presided and conducted devotional exorcises, IS NOW LIEUT.-COL. WHEN SEEDING STARTED SINCE YEAR 1911. Mr. John ReinkeKippen road, Tuckersmith, has written each year since 1911, on the inside of the cover of his seed drill the date on which he started seeding. The average date is about April 23rd for the seventeen years. Judging by these figures, 1928 will not be much later than the ave- rage, as it is expected seeding will start verysoon if the weather holds fine. Mr. Reinke recalls that in 1910 Mr. William Oke, who then farmed across the road from him, started, seeding about March 20th and finish- ed by the end of March. In'1916, seeding did not start until May 6th, and bad weather prevented finishing until the end' of that month. On some farms grain ripened when it was only a few inches high. Following are the dates on the seed drill: 1911 April 19 1912 April 25 1913 April 18 1914916 April 23 1915 April 20 1May 6 111193911114765 917 AprilApril 1525 ]919 April 23 49201918., May 4 • 1921 April 13 4922 April 26 4923 April 27 1924 1925 . , .........
