TOWN TOPICS •
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
Ye Singin' Skewl.
Cardno's Hall was well filled on
Friday night last, when the curtain
went tap and disclosed the Donation
party. The participants were dressed
in, the old styles of fifty years ago ands
their actions provoked much merri-
ment .among, the audience. Scene
two intr'od'uced "The Singin' Slcewl"
with Mr. 'Sung in charge: The chorus-
es, ,"The iSingitt' "ISkewd," "`The -I Land
of Bolan," and "We Are All ,Nodd'
ing," were all very good. "A: Teach-
er Born" by Mr, Sing was well exe-
cuted. "There was a Lone Woman,"
by 'Jonas Jordan -was well receiveid.
The elopement of Mr. Sing with his.
favorite pupil provoked much laugh-,
ter. Mr. Gee delighted the audience
by several selections on the cornet,
"My Girl from Dixie" 'by the boys
was good, while a song by Mr. Phil
!Burgard with chorus, "Mother Says
I .Mustn't;" was well received. A
Chorus by eight little Friend's from
japan brought dawn the house. It
was composed of the Misses Reid,
.Ethel Grieve, Bessie Hays, Helen
iLarkin, Cora Dodds, Alva Graves,
Maggie Scott and Aggie Snaith. til
song by Miss Gertie• Laidlaw, "A
Rose in Heaven," was very pretty. A
song ,by Miss Grace .i\l•dFaul and ichor -
us was one of the best of the even-
ing. A ladies' chorus cdmprised of
Miss Hattie Murray, Miss. Linda
Box, Mrs. H. Laidlaw, Miss MdFaui,
Mrs. W. Meredith, Miss Nellie Beat-
tie, Miss Hays and' Miss Campbell,
without accompaniment, was one of
the hits of the evening. Tally -Ho
party was here introduced and pre-
sented one of the prettiest scenes
ever seen in Seaforth. The colors,
were most artistically arranged and
the ladies looked very handsome in-
deed, all being tastefully attired in
gay colors. The concert closed with
a "Hunting Chorus," which was one
of the best numbers. Mr. DelLacey
as Prof. Sing played the part to per-
fection, while Mrs. W. W. Meredith,
,Miss Birdie Stephens and Miss Grace
MciFaul contributed largely to the
success of the entertainment. The
proceeds, which were in aid of the
'Presbyterian church, amounted to
$160.

Serious Accident.
Mr. Harry Stewart was the victim
of an unfortunate accident on Thurs-
day morning by which part of his
right foot was nearly severed. He had
gone out to split wood, using a newly
sharpened. axe. While bringing it
down for a stroke it caught in the
branch of a tree, misdirecting the
blow and striking his foot midway
between ' -'the ankle and toes,- cutting
through into the 'bone.' Mr. Stewart
imm'edi'ately started for the office of
Drs. Scott & Matck'ay, but evidently
overestimated his strength as he
fainted from loss of blood ,before
reaching there. He was taken 'home
by the neighbors., by which time me-
dical assistance arrived. Nine stitches
were required to close the wound and
it will be many weeks before he will
be able to resume his usual duties.
His many friends were shocked to
learn of the accident and much sym-
pathy is expressed by every one.
Invents Ice Chopper.
Mr. John McIntosh has invented a
machine for breaking ice and has ap-

Production Important
"This modern statement that we
don't need to pay, any more atten'tion
to production, but rather concentrate
on marketing our products is not al-
together correct, and manyfarmers
Who are voicing it are really doing
'harm to themselves," declared Dr. G.
I. Christie, president of O.'A.C., in an
address before the Westerns Ontario
Dairymen's Association. "You can-
not market your cheese 'unless the
farmers use the be-st :quality of milk
in producing it. You c'annot disre-i
gard production since it is the first
step in the marketing of your pro-
duce. The problem of production h'as
been left to the men on the farms
too much and it is 'u'p to others to
step in and help then if they too are
to prosper. So long as we have a
barrier 'betw'een the farmer -producer
and the men who m'arke't his goods
there .can be 110 real progress. Sus-
picion and sellfishne'ss ,prevent it.
There must be co -:operation between
'these two,"
Register Now 1
Fruit and vegetable growers should
send in their registration form's at
once. There is very little time be-
tween now and the opening of the
1932 season to shape marketing plans
and policies. The Ontario Growers'
Markets. Council is going to be hard
pressed even as it is, to list and tab-
u'late all the information to enable
then to put growers in touch with
profitable markets.
There is only one way in which
they can do this and that is through
co-operating with growers and let-
ting them know what crops they
grow and in what quantities. The
Growers' Market Council is constant-
ly getting enquiries• from buyers.who
are anxious to get supplies and. so
far they have not been able to find
enough supplies to fill the demand.
I1 any grower has supplies of win-
ter vegetables on hand he should
note this specially on brie registration
form. Only last week the Growers'
(Market Council ,received an enquiry
for a large quantity of squash and.
'al't'hough one or two carloads were
available a great deal' more could
have been sold and at prices about
twice what the local markets have
been paying.
There is also a good demand for
winter carrots and beets. All regis-
tration forms properly filled in should
be sent to Mr. Chas. W. Bauer, Sec-
retary, Ontario 'Growers' Markets
Council, Bruce Building, Hamilton,
Ontario.
Fruit Growers to Meet,
Mlle annual meeting of the Ontario
iFruit Grower? Association is ,being

naught Hotel on February 9tth, 10th,

Corn Borer More Active
!S'tatis'tics showing that the corn
-borer had increased its depredations
in Ontario in 1931 far the first time
since the Corn Borer A'c't went into
!force five years ago were given by
(Professor L. Caesar, Provincial Ent-
omologist, in an, address at the recent
'con'ven'tion of the Ontario Agricult-
ural and Experimental ,Union at
'Guel'ph,
iExiplain'ing that the increase was
attributable to weather conditions,
chiefly in July and August. • Prof.
Caesar did net treat the matter as
alarming, bunt stated that the situa-
-ion may- be of same benelht 'n stimu-
lating renewed effort in the drive
against the pest. He said the in-
crease had been noted principally

there was none.

'When asked for an opinion regard-

no doubt in the minds of dealers or

Short Courses Well Attended
In nearly every county and dis'tric't
oT the Province at the present time
Short courses in agriculture and home.
economics are being conducted under
the direction of the local Agricultural
Representative. In general! the
courses are of, two types—Three-,
Month Courses , and One-Moirth
Month Courses.
A't tise agricultural classes the
young men get instruction in respect
to the care alid mana'gemen't of live
stock; the balancing of rations, soil
management, crops and cultural me-
thods essential to economical produc-
tion; marketing, in'sec't and disease
control, stock and seed judging, rope
splicing, public speaking and many
other subjects with which- the suc-
cessful farmer of 1932 must be fam-
iliar.
The young ladies, on the other
hand, receive instruction 'in such do-
mestic arts as cookery, laundering,
sewing, home nursing and first aid
and the innumerable other subjects
•which go towards the snake -up of the
efficient rural homemaker.
The seven Three -(Months' Courses
are being held as follows: -

For the first 'month there -was a to-
tal enrolment at the seven courses of
189 boy's and 726 girls.
One -Month Courses are being held
in 24 counties in Southern Ontario
during the month of January and an
additional six similar courses will be

tidns and are organized by the Agri-
cu'ltural Representatives of the local
