Seeds Are Weed Menace Studies carried out by Canadia'n , weed speciali's'ts show strikingly the menace of weeds through the multi- tude •of their seeds. For instance, a single plant, of wild •nius'terd, stink- weed, foxltail, pfgweed, or cam!pi'ott, pro'duce's 10,000 to 20,000 seeds; ,vorrn-seed mustard about 25,000; shep'herd's purse about 50,000, and the Tumbling mustard about 1,1500;000, Moral: Weeds should never be a11'o'w- ed to go to seed. As it is now becoming practi'ce to market comMericial grain ,direct from the threshing rni'l1 without further Gleaning, it is 'mos't important that the grain •donne from the t'hres'hing m'il'l' in a fairly dean state, and one 'of the ,ob- jects 'of the Bmotherhood'of Thresher - men, is, through their organiz'afa'i'on to Improve the 'quality of wo'r'k done by the average thre's'her. An Attractive Home. "Oh, what an oppontunity if I only, ,, Bad the timer This is the remark of, a lady visitor at the Ontario Agriet l - lural College' recently, She had come to the .College to make enquiry about benediction. certain perennials which she ,`wishe'd to plant in the yard, of ,her farm home, and was told about the short course of instruction in landscape gardening to be given at the College from Feb, 15th to 19th•. On `looking over the program of this short course she saw that there were to be instructions and demonstrations .in garden planning and the selection of th'e Mast suitable kind's of trees, shrubs and flo'we'rs, and s'he longed to take the course. The opportunity is there for ,her and for many Otherls, and no better way could be found for farm women, or men either For that matter, to spend a happy, interesting week in the middle of winter in studying and making plans for the beautification ,d1 their Earns homes So that their lives might be more enjoyable in the year's to come. All persons interested in this coairse should understand that there, pis no charge for in's'truction an'd thata pro- gram -o'f the course nia,y. be had for the asking. C. G. I. T. The.

Historical Research Is WI Topic The regular meeting af the Wo- men,s Institute was held on Wednes- day afternoon at the biotin of Miss Josephine Edge, Main Street, with a good abtendanrce. The meeting open- ed at 2:30. Att instrumental was given •,by Miss Ethel Jac'ks'on.. Roll call was anslwered by "A First Day's Experience at School." (An interest- ing display of antiques ,was inspected by the members. Atte topic, an his- torical research, was ably taken by Miss Thelma El'gie, whose address was as 'follows:. Seaforth in 1850. The people .of to -day can hardly realize, when we read of the pros- pects 0f this tract of land fifty or seventy -'five years ago. This tract of l.aitd went unheeded by thousands o'f pioneers who went farther on s,ceking more favourable locations to settle on. The first one, who had courage to settle in the swamp, Was Andrew Steene, who located on Lot 26, Con. 1, MaKil'1'op, at an early day in the history of the tdwnship. He made a clearing and built a log Amuse on the south east corner of the tot,—this was the first human habitation Qh w'ha't now com- prises the town of ,Seafanbh, Thus Seaforth had 'its first existence in 1855. The second 'h'abitation was a 'tav- ern. This publ'ic place was built where the present Queen's 'Hotel stand's. The .old tavern ,Was ,destroyed, by fire 'in 11877. 'T'hese Iwo bieildings were the only ones there until the in- auguration o'f the Buffalo, Brantford and Gaderieli Railway, afterwards the Buffalo and Lake Huron, About this 'time H'arpurhey, locat- ed a mile away, Was the -town bet- ween Stratford and Clinton, The ,m'a'in ,gravel road was hu.il!t by the Canada Co., exten'd'ing from Baylfield to Bellmore, this road took in its route What is nolw•the main street of Sea- for4h, • At this time Harpurhey was more densely populated and there- were more industries going on. There was a flour ;null, a saw milt, a d'istil'lery, a carding mill, and a store. tT,he first Presbyterian 'Ohitr'ch was erected in E'gmon'dville where the present tEg'tnondivilie cemetery is. Rev. 'Mr. Graham was the first pas- tor. The people began to leave H'arpur- hey and Egttvondville to move into Seaforth, the first to move in being J'a'mes Dickson, then the leading mer- chant of Egunondvi'lle and M.P. for the county of Huron. He builtthe first brick building in Seaforth, on the west side of IMAM street. Iii 1862 Seaforth had a pop'ula'tion of 300 an'd in 1+866 there were 600 to 700 residents. It .was in this year that the first public school was built. In 11967 it received tnunioi'pal' re- cognition as r, village and in 1874 as an inconporat d town.

Office over Keating's Drug Store swept by fire; it was almost two years before building commenced. Lt was then that our, present Cardno blocs was built by Aiterander Card - no, ,enld it was then a beautiful build- ing, a two storey white brick, ,with brown stone trimming etc In the meantime Christianity was becoming stronger and the result was the building of churches, the ;Church of England taking the le'a'd in '1863; about the same time the Wesleyan Methodists built a frame edifice which has since been supplanted *y the (fine brick church, now the North. Side United, The Presbyterians and Cath'olics also built fine place's of worship. There were alsio l ethd1st Episcopal and 'B'aptist •deno4nmations, these 'last two none of. us will rem- ember. lIn . 11868 there were 1'1 dry goods stores, 3 drug stores, 3 stove store's, etc. Everything nearly do'itble then to what it is at present, ,Seafortlt is surrounded' by an agri- cultural country, which ranks among the Holiest in Canada. The fact that one firm exported over a ni'lbion dol- lars 'worth of grain' per day, another 9000 b'a'rrels of eggs; this shows what the town derives 'from the country. Manufacturing claims a large s'•hare. olf attention: 2 foundries, 2 cabinet fadtories, 2 .stove factories, 2 planing tn'i'lis, 10 blacksm'i'th ships, flaxmil'ls, but the salt ,industry was the chief one. This firm employed 60 to 75 men.,the average output per day 500 barrels. Only half this went for 'mar- keting; none being shipped much far- ther ea's't than :Toronto; fiber brands in limited quantities to St. John and Halifax. This es'tab'lishment was lenown as the Seaior'th'Saltt Works. The oatmeal mill added its quota to the foreign exports. The first high school was organized on January 7lth, 418719, The building and grounds cost $16;000. The build- in,g was built in a T-shape, containing eight rooms, there were seven teach- ers in charge of an attendance of 500. The Mech'anics Institute was or- ganized' in H'arpurhey but when the town moved down to Seaforth •the Institute did likewise. I't possessed a library of il500 volumes and a mem- bersh'ip of 2105. 'Such is the past hi's'tory and present cond'itio'n af a town which has grown up from 'a swamp 'and terrible wild- erttess. The visitors to Seaforth cannot but be pleased with the appearance; the town plot is ,'quite level: the streets intersect eaoh other at right angles. There is nothing savouring of a'n'tiqu- ity, however. Everything is of to- day. The business blocks, churches and private resid'e'nces; • are modern, they impress one as being built for a'ccom- inocla'tfon .of generations yet non- exi's'tan t, • STANLEY.
