MOTOR TRANSPORTATION The recent 'inauguration of cheap week -'end trips, by the railroads, ap- parentlywith the object of regain- ing business fromthe buses brings forcibly to our attention the trem- endous changes which have taken place in transportation during the last 'decade. Railroads had virtually a monop- oly of both freight and passenger traffic until a few years ago. With the rapid improvements to the high- ways, motor vehicle competition of buses and trucks was inevitable and we cannot but feel that their effect would have been less severe, upon the receipts of the railroads, had ,means been taken to offset this competition. Recently Sir Henry Thornton an- nounced that the railways were go- ing into motor transportation, but it looks like a case of locking the sta- ble door after the horse has run away. The service given the outly- ing agricultural districts has left a great deal to be desired and we hope that any changes now made for the better will not be confined to the larger centres, This country has been, for years, paying large salaries for what we have been led to believe, are the best railroad brains obtainable, but, these executives have not shown the foresight and business acumen with which they were credited. The railways now realize if they are to continue operating success- fully they must enter the motor transportation field, but the cost of buying out franchises, already given to others, will be tremendous. This TH1 WTNGHAM, ADVANCE -TIMES expense could. and should have been avoided had the railroad executives' been alive to the situation at the proper time. ,I: * * * SPRINGTIME THOUGHTS A few Weeks ago we mentioned in our paper that "Beautiful Canada" is a siogan that the Horticultural So- cieties ocieties across Canada have adopted. These spring-like days will soon have the ground in shape, so that we will have the pleasure of getting our gardens and lawns in shape for the coming summer. If we are to take an active part in beautifying Canada we should make our plans at once and resolve to do our share to make Wingham marc beautiful. There are a great number of peo- ple here who interest themselves greatly in Horticulture, but there are again many who could do more in this regard. Some towns are having difficulty in keeping their Horticultural Society going; We have here a good live organization, and if you have not joined as yet, do so without delay as the executive are very anxious to make this year a banner year for the society. * * 4' * May 1st will be the first day of trout fishing this year—liquor goes up 10c a bottle. that day also. • * * * In spring the modern young man's fancy turns to the new model cars. a: * * * The Hydro investigation is ad- journed for a couple of weeks.

This charming hymn, expressing devotion and willing self-sacrifice to Our Lord ' and Saviour Jesus Christ,. was written by the Reverend Canon William John Sparrow Simp- son, of St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon- don, Eng., in 1887. He was educat- ed at Trinity College, Cambridge, and ordained to the sacred ministry in 1882, the year of his graduation. 'After filling various appointments in London and other curacies he was called to the important chap- laincy of St. Mary's Hospital, Great Ilford in 1904. This position af- forded him opportunities for a con- siderable amount of literary work, and many theological, devotional and biographical books were writ- ten by him. One of these "Our Lord's Resurrection,” is greatly valued and is a fair example of Canon Sparrow Simpson's clear style, learning and deep insight in- to things spiritual. Early in life he had shown liter- ary aptitude and poetic ability that had attracted the attention of many prominent men, among whom was Sir John Stainer, the organist of St. Paul's Cathedral. This renowned musician', who stood in the first rank of the world's famous compos- ers of organ and other music, con- templated writing a fairly simple and if possible tuneful oratorio, up- on or around the Crucifixion of our Blessed, Lord. It was to be capable of reproduction by such choirs of boys and men as are to be found in all the good sized churches in Eng- 'land, ng-'land,, with hymns interspersed that might be joined in with by the con-' gi egation. At the same time it was if -possible to carry sufficient dig- nity as to enable its to be sung by the professional choirs of vast ca- thedrals, like St. Paul's, Canter- bury, York Minister or Westminst- er. Simple but not : trivial, tuneful but not undignified, pleasing but never irreverent—these were to be the characteristics of the proposed work. Sir John after consultations, approached the then Mr. Sparrow Siinpson with the suggestion that he should prepare the words, or as in secular music it would be called the libretto. His words were found to be suit- able and inspiring, although Mr. Sparrow Simpson had found it nec- essary to compose for his work- some orksome completely new hymns, four of these finding places in hymn- books subsequently. These are "Jesus the Crucified pleads for ire," "Holy Jesu by Thy passion," "I adore Thee, I adore Thee," and "All for Jesus•! All for Jesus"! It is much more of 'a tri- bute to the musical skill of Sir John Stainer than the untrained in such things ` might imagine, that these hymns always sung to the music first written for them, have perfectly well stood the strain of being taken apart from the setting in the oratorio for which they were intended The sprightly but seemly tune "All for Jesus," was. built for the words, by the reverent master of music, so finely as to weld the 'two together indissolubly, and to make one well nigh perfect and model whole of them. The hymn was ne ver . meant to be sung very slowly, nor again to be so hurried as to lose the value of the words. "Stainer's Crucifixion" at once won a secure place for itself in the minds and affections of those who heard it rendered by the lovely flute -like voices of the boy choris- ters and the superbly trained ten- ors, baritones and basses which with thein Made up the choirs of the churches • where it was first sung: It became the regular thing to present it at GoodFriday and at Holy Week services, and one of -its choruses; the tiow well-known an - thein' "God so loved the world," is frequently sung on other occasions and has take a position among the choral classics of the Church Uni- versal. Our Ryton "All for Jesus f All, for ]esus!', is also highly valued and is j most appropriately placed as the in- voluntary outcry of a soularoused, or newly awakened, to a fitting sen- se of the great love and appealing mercy of the dear God who so lov- ed the world that He gave His on- ly begotten San to suffer and to die upon the cross, that the worlds' people might be forgiven their sins, and made fit to live for .ever with Him in His heaven of everlasting bliss. News and Information for the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture) Thursday, April 28th, 1932 before drilling it up. For beans and peas, special carer should be taken to prevent seed and fertilizer coming together. Two very important point's in fertilizing all crops are: 1. Get l the fertilizer down' into the damp soil. 2. Don't let much of it come in contact with the seed or seed piece. Clipping the horse that has a heavy coat makes work' easier for both horse and attendant. Groom= ing is not always as thorough as it might be even with a clipped horse to say nothing about the one with a long, heavy covering of. hair. Too big ,a rush the first day of seeding may break the heart of the young horse that is unaccustomed to work. Even the mature horse that has been idle all winter feels the strain of the first few days on the soft ground. Bring them to a full day's work gradually. School Fairs School Fairs are being continued throughout Ontario by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. This spring, however, the pupils of the rural schools will not receive seeds as they have formerly and special judges will not be provided, but the Department expects School Fairs to be carried on much the same as in the past. The Agricultural Repre- sentatives, therefore, will require the c� -operation of various people to assist • in planning any necessary changes and to assist with the judg- ing at School Fairs . Current Crop Report Perth County shipped a carload of purebred Holstein cows to the U, S. A. reecntly, selling around the $100 mark. A Grain Club in Oats bas been organized for the Junior Farmers of Perth and has a mem- bership of 72. Preparations in Kent and Nor- folk Counties indicate that the to- bacco acreage this year will be about on a par with that of 1931. Alliston branch of the •Central Ontario Potato Growers Association marketed a quantity of Canada Fancy potatoes recently. These are being put up in 15 -pound bags and are retailing in Toronto at 18 cents. each which nets the growers about 45c per 90 pounds. A report from Temiskaming dis- trict states that aprpoximately 200 herds of cattle have been tested. for T.B. during the past winter with less than 1 per cent. reacting. Farmers in Wellington County are worried about their seed oats, and many will use seed oats from the 1930 crop, which is most unus- ual. A similar scarcity is reported in other counties too. There appears to be a more gen- eral interest in the sowing of regis- tered . seed and the growing of reg- istered grain this year than ever be- fore. Down in Renfrew County last year they had the largest number 'of registered seed .growers on record, and the number will likely be in- creased in 1932. Most of the seed - cleaning plants have been running steadily for some time and one or two of the plants are running nights to keep up with the demand for cleaning. Plant Raspberries Early When starting a raspberry patch' or plantation the planting should take place very early in the spring, before the canes have budded out. This enables the plants to go for- ward without much shock. It is im- portant that the soil be carefully prepared and well fertilized if one is to secure abundant crops. Two general systems of planting are equally popular. With the hill system the plants are set about four feet apart each way, while if the hedge row system is used the dis- tance between the rows should be about six feet, in order to provide plenty of. room for cultivation. If the plantation is on considerable sive, the best method tci adopt is to run a furrow and set the plants in this. For a small plantation the hills may be opened with a spade with equal success. As a rule there is greater danger of shallow planting than of setting the plants too deep. The crown should be at least four inches lower than the level of the ground in such a manner that the row of plants is in a depression. Cultivation later on will level up the soil. In setting the Improving the Appearance and Value of Farms by Planting A farmer can improve the appear- ance and increase 'the value of his farm in 10 to 20 years by spending a few days in the spring planting trees and shrubs around the farm buildings. A cash outlay is not ne- cessary, as he may procure native trees and shrubs in neighboring woods and along the fence rows. The trees should be placed to give a setting for the buildings, rather than hiding them. Their ultimate sire should be kept in mind in or- der that they will be spaced proper- ly, and will not be too close to the buildings. As the root hairs that take up food from the soil are at the end of the roots, care should be taken to preserve as many of these . root hairs as possible. 'When moving trees in dry weather, the roots should be protected by wet burlap or blankets. In planting, the hole should be sufficiently large to take the roots without cramping. Rich loath should be worked in around the roots, Some of the branches should be re- plants the earth should be trampled moved to offset the loss of roots, firmly above the roots to ensure a and in pruning, the final desired proper contact between the soil and' shape of the tree should be kept in the small roots. mind, such as the distance the low- est branch should be .from the ground. The white elm, sugar maple, red maple, red oak, white ash, and the white oak are fine trees for plant- ing in all parts of Southern Ontar- io. The soft or silver maple should not be planted extensively as it has very brittle wood :which breaks bad- ly when exposed to' heavy winds and ice storms. The native sumach and dogwood make attracttive shrubs for planting. around the grounds. Early sping is the best time to plant trees in Ontario. Chances of success will be lessened greatly if left until late spring, as growth will be quite active and the moving will be a greater shock to 'the tree. Farm Horses Come Back The present low price of oats and other feeds in contrast with the higher costs of gas and oil required in tractor operation combine to in- dicaate that the horse is rapidly re- gaining favour as a medinni of farm power. The next few years will likely see a revival in horse breeding and the use of heavy draft horses on the farms 'of Canada, both east and west. Under present conditions horses can be bred and reared very cheaply and when they have reach- ed working age, the charges for de- preciation, fuel and repairs are sur- prisingly low, for the self -oiling en- gine has nothing whatever on the self -repairing heavy draft horses. How To Use Fertilizers Experience shows that fertilizer broadcast on top •of" the soil will not give nearly as good results as will the same fertilizer drilled into the soil. The exact placing of fertilizers must he determined fbr each class of crops and for each general type of soil, Fertilizer drilled into the sail for grainsgives better results than an equal quantity of the same fer- tilizer broadcast and worked into the soil. For grain, the tube appli- cation, accomplished , as accosn p d by the or- dinary grain drill fertilizer equip- ment, gives satisfactoryy application up to 400 lbs, an acre. Por potat- les fertilizer should be sown on tlier side of the seed pieces but not in contact with them, and on a level with the seed pieces, neither above nor below them, Par turnips and mangeis' grown on the drill, broad- cast the fertilizer on the land just The. girl walked into the store and dropped her bag on the counter.
