This meeting was well attended with -about fifty- five present, made up of commercial potato growers from different parts of the County and interested fanners from the Londesboro district. The meeting was called for 6.00 p.m. and about one hour was spent in looking over a splendid field•- of potatoes on Mr. Moon's farm. A fertilizer test was laid down on this field in the spring using a fertilizer of 4-8-10 analysis, at four different rates of application. Mr. G. R, Snider of the Chemistry De- partment, O.A.C., Guelph, explained to those present the • manner in which the different fertilizer plots were laid out. Astthe field was planted to late potatoes no check could be made at this time on the yield from the diff- erent plots, but those present were able to note a marked difference in the top growth between th fertilizer plots and the rest of the field which received no commercial fertilizer. Mr. John Tucker, :Division of Bot- any, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, gave a talk on the identification of the more ,common potato diseases and then conducted the party through part of the potato field and pointed out a number of different diseases as they appeared in the, growing crop. Later on Mr. Tucker gave an outline of the history of potato growing dur- ing the past 20 years, making particu- lar reference to the advances made in the production of high quality seed. He also outlined control measures to be observed in combatting diseases and answered a number of questions in connection with general cultural practices. Professor Henry G. Bell of the Chemistry Department, 0. A. C., Guelph, gave a very interesting talk on fertilizers and their application, dealing largely with commercial fer- tilizers:as applied to the potato crop, but mentioned briefly the recommend- ed fertilizers for other farm crops: His address was illustrated by a series of lantern slides which served to illus- trate many points mentioned by Pro- fessor Bell, This gathering was the first meet- ing of potato growers held in the County and from the interest display- ed would appear that this could well be male an anneal event, The meet- ing was tinder the direction of the Huron County Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture.

MANY DRUNKS AT GODERICI-I, The following is an extract of an article which appeared in last week's, Goderich Signal. "Beer went on sale on Friday after- noon and for a few days at least busies ncss was very brisk. On Saturday night disgraceful scenes were seen irl the vicinity of the Bedford hotel. Young fellows, mostly front the conit•. try apparently, reeled and shouted on and off the sidewalk, and more drunks were seen that one night than had been "seen in a dozen ' years in the town. There was a separate beverage room in the hotel ,for women drinkers,. but on the sidewalk girls were fre- quently seen arm in arm with befud- dled boys—whether trying to get them from the booze or partners in their folly one could not say, It seems to be the general opinion:that -sale should not be allowed after 7 o'clock, at any rate on Saturday evenings. The pee-. ple of Goderich will not tolerate a continuance of the disgusting spec, tacle' of last Saturday [tight.
