EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
IN WINGHAM
Under the auspices of the local
High School Board, in co-operation
with the Canadian Educational Guid-
ance Ivfovernent, an informal Confer-
ence will be held in the Wingham
High School on Friday and. Saturday,
January 30th, and 31st.
The general topic for consideration
will be Vocational Guidance' and Edu-
cational Counsel.
On Friday . morning, Mr, Herbert
L. Troyer, the Executive Secretary of
the. Guidance Movement, will speak to
pupils of the High School. ort "The
Choice of Life -Work" and will report
some results of his recent surprise
visit.
During Friday afternoon, Dr. James
Brebner, for nearly forty years Reg-
istrarof the Ueiversity of Toronto,
will be at the School kr consultation
with parents, teachers and pupils on.

The Conference will continue on
Saturday morning from 9 to 12 under
the leadership of our guest -speakers,
assisted by representatives of the
University of Western. Ontario. In-
vitations to this meeting have been
sent to Principals and masters of
nearby secondary schools, Chairmen
of Boards, Public School Principals,
Trustees, Inspectors, and to profes-
sional business and agricultural lead-
ers in the community. Parents inter-
ested in educational matters are invit-
ed to attend this session,
A recent editorial in the Hamilton
Spectator says—"It has for a long
time been recognized that the in-
creasing competition of life demands
the kind of direction which it is the
object of the Canadian Educational
Guidance Movement to supply, That
the plan has received the enthusiastic
endorsation of Premier Henry, who in
his capacity of acting Minister of Ed-
ucation, promises the support of the
government, means that it will be
successfully carried through to com-
pletion. Parents should welcome the
help offered, for there is no more im-
portant decision than the choice of a
career. It is a problem which be-
comes increasingly difficult as the
years go by, for all fields of endeavor
are crowded, and it is so easy to mis-
judge natural aptitudes. The tragedy
of the misfit—of the young person
who enters on a line of life -work for
which he, or she, is entirely unsuited.
—is all too common: Satisfaction
and contentment in life -as well as
success—come from the performance
of congenial tasks for which one is a-
dapted. Every facility should be giv-
en:for the discovery of these capabil-
ities and the encouragement of their.
development."
At the organization meeting of the
Movement, it was announced that Mr.
E. W. Beatty, President of the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway, had consented
to act as Honorary President of the
National Council. Sir Arthur Currie,
Sir Robert Falconer, Principal Fyfe
of Queen's University; Chancellor.
Whidden of McMaster University;
President Fox of Western Univers-
ity; Dr. Charles Bishop, Principal of
Albert College, are among the mem-
bers of the Advisory Committee. The
Board of Directors of the Ontario
Council includes E. A. Miller, Senior
Principal of the London Coflegiates;
Principal Lowe of Windsor -Walker
ville Technical School; Principal As-
bury of Sarnia Collegiate and Techni-
cal School; Principal Salter of St.
Catherines Collegiate and Vocational
School; .Dr. Althouse, Headmaster of

Mrs. W. R. Morris, Peterboro, Presi-
dent of the Ontario Federation of
Home and School Clubs; and Miss
Emily Guest of the Women's Insti-
tutes Branch, Department of Agricul-
ture.
It will be a matter of interest to
many in this district to know that Mr.
Troyer, the National Secretary of the
new Movement, was born in Teeswat-
er and began his education there. The
Conference to be held here is the
first of 'a series, and -we shall thus
have an opportunity of sharing in the
beginnings of what is generally re-
garded as the most significant and
far-reaching movements of recent
years,
WEST WAWANOSH
RESULT UNCHANGED
The West Wawanosh recount be-
fore judge James L. Killoran was
held in Goderich on Friday, resulting
in W. J. Stewart receiving the reeve -
ship by a majority of 2;
This is the same majority obtained
by Mr. Stewart in the recent election
over his opponet, 'William Mole, who
asked for the recount.
As a result of the recount no
change whatever was 'made in the
figures of the 687 ballots allowed by
the deputy returning officers in six
divisions. Not one was challenged by
the respective lawyers or disallowed
by the judge. There were a number
of blank and spoiled ballots but these
were found in order and did not 'make
any change in the result. The work
of the election officials was perfect,
and they were complimented by Jud-
ge Killoran. There is not so much
as an incorporated village in the twp.
of West Wawanosh,
R, C. Hays, of Goderich, was eoun-
sel for Mr; Stewart, and Dudley E.
Holmes, fin, appeared for'Mole.

you see me across the street?"

Mayor Stewart of Toronto, it will
be remembered, was elected by 313
votes; then the recount followed and
the result was that he still had 313,
In West Wawanosh on voting day
William Stewart was elected reeve by
the narrow margin of two votes, and
there also an effort was made to de-
throne a Stewart by the recount me-
thod, but the result was that the
Stewart majority stayed just where
it was—two to • the good.
The parallel gets down and walks
on, all fours fairly well. William
Stewart won in Toronto on voting
day, and a recount declared his ma-
jority io be unchanged.
William. Stewart won in West Wa-
wanosh on voting day, and a recount
leaves his majority the same. There
is but one difference and that seems
to be in favor of West Wawanosh.
Judge Killoran, after going over all
the ballots, found them to be in ex-
cellent condition; and was able to
compliment the gentlemen who had
attended to the work on election' day.
In Toronto the judge found that a
good deal of the work of election of-
ficers had been done so poorly that he
ordered many of them to be removed
from the list for future service.
So it looks as though election of-
ficials in West Wawanosh could teach
their colleagues in Toronto some-
thing about sucking eggs or conduct-
ing a spell of voting.—Stratford Bea-
con -Herald.
News and Information
For the Busy Farmer
(Furnished by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
A special radio program of music,
college songs, yells, etc. will be
broadcast over Station CKGW, Tor-
onto, from 9 to 10 p.m., Friday, Jan.
80th, from the annual conversazione
at the Ontario Agricultural College.
No doubt many alumnae of the O.
A. C. and MacDonald Institute will
be interested if they tune in on this
program.
In the opinion of Dr. E. S. Archi-
bald, head of the Dominion Experi-
mental Farms, the farrier can help
himself out of present difficulties by
increasing his yield of crop per acre,
and in this respect good seed and
fertilizer, together with more horse-
power on cultivating and other ma-
chinery, should play a prominent
part.
Coming Events
The following important agricul-
tural meetings will be held at King.
Edward Hotel, Toronto, early in
February:
Ontario Field Crop and Seed Grow-
ers' Association annual meeting on
Feb. 3.
Ontario Plowmen's Association an-
nual sheeting, Feb. 4.
Ontario Association of Fairs and
Exhibitions annual convention, Feb.
5 and 6.
Ontario Vegetable Growers' Asso-
ciation annual meeting, Feb. 10; and
annual convention, Feb. 11.
Movement of Seed Corn
'The double corn borer quarantine
which for several years was placed
on the seed corn producing counties
of. Ontario, has now been lifted, so
that it is now permissible to ship seed
corn on the ear anywhere within the
quarantine area . which now takes in
all of Old Ontario,
Partners in the silo corn sections
of Ontario will welcome this inform-
ation because it will again insure a
source of seed corn proven by,exper-
ience to be ofhigh germination and
vigor.
Producers of seed corn will partic-
ularly appreciate the lifting of this
regulation, because they have at pre-
sent large quantities of excellent seed
corn on hand and they now have an
opportunity of distributing this that.
trial on the ear over the province,
It must be remembered, however,
that although ear corn may stove
fri`d=ly throughout Old Ontario, the
corn borer quarantine is still on and
no movement of corn can take place
from a quarantine area to a free area.
Corn borer regulations have during
the past five years lessened to a very
marked degree in the corn -producing
counties of Southwestern Ontario,
The percentage of infested stalks in
Essex has. been reduced from 83 to
16,7, in Kent from 34 to 7.4, in Mid-
dlesex from 28 to 9, in Elgin from
40 to 9, and in Norfolk from 16 to 5.
Prof. L. Caesar of the O.A.C,, who
is incharge of corn borer control
ri':ethods,'is well pleased with the re-
sults. He points out, however, that
dry summers are very beneficials in
corn borer control, while in wet sea-
sons, with all control methods avail-
able, little little more can be done than to
keep the . borers from materially in-
creasing in numbers,
To still further control corn borers
Prof. Caesar is now recommending
that a stationary cutting knife be at-
tached to the corn binder so that cut-
ing may take place at the surface of
the soil. This eliminates' the danger
of leaving large numbers of borer in
the corn stubble and at thesametime
adds around 1800 pounds per acre
more to the corn crop.
D. A. C. "Short Courses
An interesting series of Short
Courses has been arranged for the
month of February at the Ontario
Agricultural College. Lectures' will be
given by 0. A. C. professors, officials
of the Department of Agriculture, and
outstanding Ontario authorities on
the various subjects. The program
follows; Short Course in Fruit Grow-
ing, Feb. 2nd to 7th; Short Course in
Vegetable Gardening, Feb. Oth to 14;
Short Course in Landscape Garden-
ing, Feb. 16th to 20th; ,Short Course
in Floriculture, Feb. 23rd to 27th.
These courses will be carried out un-
der supervision of the O. A. C. De-
partment of Horticulture and will
provide much valuable information
for those who desire to attend.
Roots in Cattle Rations
That silage alone for dairy cattle
is not sufficient and roots should also
be included in ' the regular rations,
Prof. J. C. Steckley of O. A. C. stat-
ed at the Experimental Union meet-
ing. He was supported by W. J. Bell
of the Kemptville Agricultural school
who pointed out that the cost of pro-
ducing roots was not excessive, par-
ticularly where the ground had been
thoroughly cultivated before sowing.
In all the rations quoted for dairy
cattle, Prof. Steckley urged feeding
roots at the rate of two pounds daily
for every hundred pounds of live
weight of the animal, in addition to
one pound of alfalfa or red clover
hay and two pounds of silage. Where
no silage was available, four pounds
of roots should be fed, he said. In
feeding beef cattle, roots also occupy
a prominent place, the speaker advo-

Shredded Wheat. It's
the whole wheat, you
know, and has iron for

the elements for building

breakfast or lunch. I just

cious hot cereal, and with

eating fottr pounds daily for . every.
100 pounds of animal's live weight.
Both speakers claimed that it was im-
possible to get too much succulence
and, palatability in the cattle rations
and in their opinion roots constituted
one of the most important feeds in
this respect. -
Sow Thistle Experiments
To secure more definite informa-
tion on the control of sow thistle,
comparative work was done in 1930
by the 0.A.C., the Department's
Crops and Markets Branch, and W.
D. Hislop, a farmer near Stratford.
Part of Mr. Hislop's : farm: was very
badly infested with sow thistle. Four
plots of about two acres each were
used and on these the effects of sev-
eral methods of cultivation as well
as of fertilizers were tried out. On
two plots a crop of mixed grain was
grown. One of them had beendisced
in September and plowed in October
1929, while the other had been plow-
ed in July and cultivated in August
1929. A crop of mature grain wae,
taken from each of the plots in 1930,
The one plowed in. July and cultivated
in August had only about half as
much sow thistle and yielded almost
twice as much grain as the other.
i Four hundred lbs. per acre of 2-12
—6 fertilizer was applied to half of
'each plot. On all plots there was a
'very large increase in yield where the
' fertilizer was used, as well as, a not-
liceahle weakening and decrease in
the number of sowthistle plants.
