Crop Conditions
:Follo'win'g is a summary of crop
conditions in Ontario at the end of
July: The harvesting of fall wheat
was practically complete,d'. Yields
were about average and the quality of
grain splendid except in fields damag-
ed by Hessian Fly or lodged. Spring
wheat, rags, 'barley and mixed gratin(s
were improved -by rainfall but' yields
will be lower than last year due to un-
favoralble weather at seeding time and

:SEMEN OIJO(SE BROTHERS
ALL MUSI'CIAINS
An interview with a (brother of Mr.
g..H."O1as'e 51•Seaforth, Which recent-
ly appeared in the Stratford Beacon -
Herald, is given `below:
ISought out for an interview W. H.
'Close, an old resident of .South East -
hope and a laver of 'bands since boy-
hood days, was found slowly and con-
tentedly walking to his home through
the 'fields with his cow and dog by his.
side. He looked more or less quizzical
When it was made known that the re-
porter wanted to get some informa-
tion for a story from him, 'but when
he 'learned that it was in connection
With his life as a member of various
(bands he immediately smiled and said:
"Sure II111 give you some information
about that. You knlo•w I have loved
band music ever since I can remember
and I learned to 'play a band instru-
anent when I was very young."
"You see, our whole family was
fend of that type of music. There
were seven of us boys and every one
of us would' rather have played in-
estnumen!t's than to have done anything
else,"
'Mr, Close then launched into a
story which was , interesting in every
detail and which dated back to the
days gone 'by when bands were con-
sidered sontewh'at of a novelty and
evenyone would walk a long way to
hear the music. •
"My 'brothers are all living now
with the exception of Foster who was
killed in an accident in the West, and
Yalta. 'The others, George, Peter, Elg-
in and Charlie will no doubt read' this
little story and it will bring back to
their minds, too, those days we spent
(together as members of the same
bands. But that is getting ahead al try
story," he said.
California and Back.
''Our boyhood home was in Nor-
wich and it was right in our home that
the love ,for music was taught My
parents suddenly took hold of the idea
that they would like to go to ,Califor-
nia and so away we went. However.
the old saying .is, `far •away fields foot:
green," and so we found it. It was apt
all that we thought it would be and
after a short time there we, or rather
my Mother and father, decided that
they woat'ld come 'back closer to our
native country. We got as far as Chi-
cago and at that time the entire ,seven
of us, my six (brothers and myself,'
formed a small band known .as the
'Close (Brothers Brand. Sante of the
(pe'apte in Chicago;thought that it was
a great novellty.to see and 'hear seven
brothers relaying and they tried to
persuade us to stay. However, the
spirit moved us and we started out.
,As luck would have it. we came to
S
tratford,
'Mr. Close ,paused here and smiled
as if he were remembering something
which h'ad hap'pe'ned in, the olden
days, something of a very amusing
nature. He stressed the fact that there
was .no special reas'oti floe their com-
ing to Stratford but they just stop-
ped' off in this city, then, of course;
a town, and decid'e'd to make their re-
sidence on Douro street. '1tnmedia'te'13';
upon arriving he and, of course, the
six others, decided to join the Regi-.
meat B'an'd' tinder the leadership of
;Tames Bradt,. 'Slh;orltly 'after this they
moved to the farm.
"Those were the dlaya," he contin-
ued, "Wheat great tirnes we' used to
have at practise. Certainly, we walk-
ed in to practise twice a week the •en-
tiire seven of us, all carrying our in-
struments ovele our shoulders. It did-
n't matter Whether ,it was winter or

ed on the old 'band stand which was
o ttated where the tottttntenit n'o'w
stands. Let line tell you, we, used 110.
have targe crowds gather to hear us,
too:"
Mr; Lose went on to say that
shortly tidier Mr. Bradt gave up th(e
(leader h:p, there was a young Eng-
lishman, quite a ` hotahe'aded chap,"
at the head orf the band. One night
when all were at pia''ct, e, the leader
looked at William Close and told him.
that' he was sort handling his instru-
ment properly. Mr. Close did not,' like
the rnannor, in the leader spoke to
Lim and he picked up his'ins'tru'menit ,-
and: walked t. 'T e tthe of
d l sed ou 'True o blood,
the six trotters picked up their in-
strutnenits and also walked out. M'r,
Close, in relating the incident lattgh-
ed heartily at the picture which the
seven of them must have presented as
they paraded• indignantly 'from the
morn. The rest of the neemlbers were
more or lesls tired of the "leader and
they offered h'i'm $100 if he Would
leave. He accelpted.'the offer and made
his exit.
Areother amusing picture conjured
up in the mind of Mr. 'Close was in
connection with a com'peti'tion' in
which the 'band took pant. The 'event
was taking place at Woodsltdeir and
when t'he ban'ds'men left Stratford it
was- with the 'idea in mind' that al-
though
'1-
though they did not think they could
win a prize, it would be well worth
the try. They arrived there to find
that there were about eighteen 'bands
in the competktion, Wlhen their turn
came to play they did so with extra
zeal, and imagine .their astonislhment
when they carried off first prize. Im-
agine their further .astonishment when
they saw what the prize was --an or -
.gam. "Home the conquering heroes
came with the organ."
!Foster Close, brother of Willialtn
Close, became temporary leader. lin,
relating the tale's' of the olid days Mr.
Close said that the time for the great-
est fun was when the band would go
to the skating rink to play. The skat-
ing rink at that time was situated
where bhe tennis courts`
now are: Once a week there would' be
skating and since there were a large
number in the bl'a'nd' and they took up
a good deal of space, it was arrang-
ed that half of the 'band would play
'one week and ,the other half woutld
play the next week. There would be
a goad deal of joviality and amuse-
ment. 'The (band's:men would receive
about one ddliar each for such en-
gagements.
"And now we are all separated,"
Mr. 'Clo'se said. One by one the boys
kept d'ri'fting away until I( was the
only one left on the homestead. Tien
I married and since my wife did not
with to be 'left alone .practically- every
evening in the week, T gave no band
music and gave away my instrument.
I often wish that those days were
here again."
The brothers 01 whom 'Mr, Close
spoke are living in various parts of
the country, 'There is George .of
Kingsville, Peter whb is a Justice of
the Peace and storekeeper, in Rose-
dale, British Columbia, Elgin H. alt
