DISTRICT
Attacking. Tomatoes
From some quarters, large green
worms have been reported to be
stripping tomato vines. These worms.,
are'"stated in some instances to beas
long and as thick through as a man's
finger. The latter part of the week,
we were shown one, which although
somewhat sinaller than this, convinced
us that some would easily attain such
a size as stated. The worm has a large
mouth, with four short legs just hack
of the ?underside of the head. The re-
mainder of the body is segmented. It
is light green in color and attacks all
parts of the tomato stalks, ,eaves and
fruit.—Lucknow Sentinel.
Cow Killed by Car
A Mount Forest resident, driving
southerly on the highway, encountered
a herd of cows opposite Edward
Waechter's farm. The presence of the
cattle on the highway is very rare,
and the motorist evidently taken by
surprise, charged into tixe bovines.
(One cow, a good sized animal, owned
'by`Harvey Weber, of Deemerton, was
killed by the impact, and the •car, a
'�F-ord coupe, owned by E. Mc'Kechnie
of Durham, was badly damaged. The
owner of the car is seeking 'to collect
the price of repairing the car from the

A Big Fish
Mr. Wm. Somerville doesn't need
to tell about the big one that got
away. He brought it home—thirty-six
inches of pike, weighing eight. pounds,
conclusive proof as he tells the story.
Mr. Somerville hooked the "whopper"
while fishing at the mouth of the
Maitland River. The fish is one of
the largest pike ever caught at that
point.—Goderich Signal. .
Drill into Underground Stream
Well drillers working on the prop-
erty of E. J. Skelton at Walkerton,
hit a flowing stream at a depth of
105 feet and the owner of the prop-
erty now has a flowing well which
issues forth at the rate of 100 gallons
of water per minute. The water is of
the finest quality, it is said. The new
stream is diverted into the channel of
Silver Creek which flows through Mr.
Skelton's property and he expects to
put it to use for some household pur-
pose as well as for beautifying his
lawn.
