A Successful Play.—On Friday ev-
ening, March 28th, the citizens of the
village of Blyth and vicinity enjoyed
a great treat when that popular three -
act comedy, "A Pair of Sixes," was
presented in the Memorial Hall. It
was sponsored by the Citizen's Band
and proved to be 011e of the most suc-
cessful affairs ever given in the vil-
lage. The players were greeted with
a large enthusiastic audience that was
most appreciative, The following was
the cast: The business partners, Mr.
Bray of Bank of Commerce and Dr
Toll; the bookkeeper, Fred Somers;

the heavier portions in the pay and
called forth most favorable comment

Lignite coal fields at Blacksmith

CORN BORER ACT
At a recent conference at {London
of the corn borer inspectors and the
Provincial En•tainoiogist it was stated:
that many farmers were under the
impression that because : the borer
had,been reduced 'in most !counties un-.
der the Act, it was no longer a seri-
ous 'menace, and therefore the Act
would not be strictly enforced this
year. If this statement was correct
it is unfortunate and very misleading'
As stated by 'Professor tL.' Caesar,
Provincial Entomologist, the borer is
justas dangerous an inseet to -day as
it ever was and all it needs to enable
it to play havoc with our corn is to
be given a chance seat as :it would
have if the Corn Borer Act was not
enforced. Corngrowers in Ontario
will have to become accustomed to
the fact that cleaning up corn cem-
nants thoroughly each Spring will
henceforth be a regular part of farm-
operations. There is no other known.
way of combating the borer. Even in
Europe .this is the only way of preti
enting heavy losses.
The Corn Borer Act will be enforc-
ed` this year as in former years. Ev-
ery man will be required to clean' up
the corn remnants on his ' property
either by gathering or burning them
or by ploughing tltent under and not
dragging them up later. The Corn
Borer inspector for Huron, County,
Mr. O. Ginn states that the. clean up
in the past has been -satisfactory. The
same procedure must be followed this
year and: in 'future years, Non enforce-
ment of the Act would be the {undoing
of all accomplished so far iii the con-
trol bF this pest and wolud soon result
in the ruin 'of the hopes of all to
whom corn is a valuable crop:,•.• -.

More No. 1 Apples
[Drastic changes are possible -in the
Fruit Act at au early date. Under
the new iameudments to the act, the
number two and three apples would
be eliminated and all apples of good
color and No, 1 quality with a minim-
um diameter o'f one and seven -eighths
inches in the case of the small type
and two inohes in the larger type w••ilf
be graded No. 1, while tower colored
fruit or that with a little scab will be
classed domestic. There will be only
two grades in place of the four naw
existent. This is a result of. the .pre-
judice often expressed by carisu•nsers
against anything marked No. 2 or 3.
The new law would also insist that
the small No. l's be put in one pack-
age and the larger ones in another.
Egg Market Settles Down
The imports of eggs from the Un-
ited States has now practically ceased
for the current" season, A few car-

market has settled down quite early
this year to a spring storing basis
and prices at a majority of producing

judging from reports' df agricultural
representatives .of the various counties
in the province. ,Bruce County re-
ports tall 'wheat to be in a fair condi-
tion with the same to be said for alf-
alfa anid sweet clover. Fronteaae
Clover and alfalfa have. been subjected
to 'late frosts which tnay result in
some kiting. In Haldimand the fall
wheat situation is acute and this re-
port is duplicated by Kent where it is
said that some of the acreage will
have to be replanted. In Lincoln the
hard frosts at night have been playing
havoc with this crop. Middlesex and
Peterboro Counties have been fortun-
ate and the crop seems to be in fair
condition, The recent fall of snow
trill improve conditions appreciably.
Lime and Acidity
Success in graiitt growing and gar-
dening often hinges upon the amount
of lithe in the soil, it has been found,
':Alfalta, however, 'cauliflower and
beets,' to mention a- feet- of the crops,
require'etiough lime to reduce the ac-
idity. It is a matter fop •.the chemist
and the experimental farms to deter-
mine where lime is lacking and what
quantity needed to be applied. It is
well known, however, that there is a
relationship between potato scab and
lime, . 'This is explained by saying
that while an acid soil eliminates scab
it may, if too acid, reduce the yield.
Etperiments have shown that the
.range ' o'f acidity which will prevent
stub and'.'yet not reduce the yield, is
very short; so that actually the farm -1
er needs very careful lime service to i
determine his exact need of lime.
Most vegetable crops as a matter of
tact,. do better under slightly acid
conditions.
developed along other agricultural
lines the industry would be placed on
a more prosperous 'bases than ever
before. -
Value of Co=Operative
At a recent meeting o'f the Vege-
table .Growers' !Association, the vice-
president, Joseph Cyr, ;pointed out an
interesting case where an American
buyer was in Canada' looking for sev-
eral hundred tons of .garden beets for
canting in distad form. The order
could not be filled in Ontario as there
was no organization here ;through
which the beets could be secured at
such short notice. The Federated 'Co -
Operative of Quebec, to which he was
referred, through its local organiza-
tions, experienced little -difficulty in
finding and, grading sufficient beets
for the order. The incident points
out plainly the value of co-operative
marketing.
