Currie is attending the United Farmers' Con-. ereation at Toronto this week. — Rev. Chester Wilkinson, of Ripley, visited with his unrle, C. B. Wilkinson one day last week.—The snow has made it had for cars travelling on the back treads. Some places are impassable and the highways are filling up also, and the weather is keeping very frosty and stormy for so early in the season. —A number of the rural schools are Cousy preparing Christmas concerts.— j. Brydiges, of Detroit, is spending the week end with his parents. "Our Neighbers."—A short three - act comedy, entitled, "Our Neighbors" was presented in the Sunday school room of the 'United Church on Tues- day evening, December 3rd, by the members of the Victory Mission Cie- cle, before a packed house. To lend local color to the play, the names of the ladies living near the corner of John and Shuter Streets, were chosen to represent the different characters in the play. which was, of course an exaggerated story of how you may let your imagination run wild. The comed-y begins when Mrs. G. Spotton runs hurriedly across to Mrs. A. Wal- ker to tell her about some person moving into a vacant house near by. Wes. Walker then goes to tell her neighbor, that neighbor doing like- wise, until the story has been twisted and changed that it bears no resembl- ance to the original at all, the person even going so far as to say that Mrs. Spotton was dead and had fixed the hour of her funeral, when he makes her appearance and demands an ex- planation. Finding that their gossip was all untrue but that they found 'Out who really did move into the vac- ant house, it being a promising young local dentist and his bride, they were glad at least that they had had some- thing to talk about, because as they said, "Women must talk, you know." Following are the names of the play- ers with the names of the persons with whom they had been represent- ing: Mrs. J. 0. Habkirk as MTS. George Spotton; Mee. C. R. Copeland as Mrs. A. J. Walker; Miss A. Hop- per as Mrs. W. H. Willis; Miss P. I. Johns as Mtrs. R. Beattie; Miss M. Copeland as Mrs. G. H. Ross; Miss E. Simpson as Mrs. C. Adams; Miss E. Hetherington as Mrs. J. A. Morton; Miss L. Hopper as Mrs. W. Dore. A ohort programme, which was also ap- preciated, was given before the play and also in between the acts, 4 onsist- ing of an instrumental by Mr. Arnold Vint; a solo by Mr. J. M. 1VIcKay; a reading by Mrs. Forbes; an instru- mental by Misses M. Gar -nes, G. Rob- erteon and solo by Mrs. Jack Reavie. vertices thea Outario Beekeepe Association, Prof. E, Erie Allen, o2 O.A.C., eacretary, pointe out that ree markable changes lave taken place in the beekeeping industry during the past fifty years. From an uncertain side line fifty years ago to a commer- cial undertaking to -day, many mein -- hers now measure their crop by the ton in place of pounds. For instance, one Ontario beekeeper, J. L. Byer, of Markham, operates about 1200 colo- nies. There was an exceptionally good crop of honey in Ontario last year and two residents of the prov- ince took first and second prizes for honey at the dairy show in London, England, while for the seventh con- secutive year Ontario beekeepers car- ried off the highest honors. Loss by Potato tlight. JU $(5 Investigations show that the farmer may lose as much as fifty per cent. of his stored potato crop due chiefly to the action of tuber rots, particular- ly that caused by late blight (the so- called dry rat). While this rot does not commonly spread from tuber to tuber in the bin, under poor condi- tions this injury paves the way for organisms producing other rots that do spread and causes heavy losses. Much of the loss can be avoided by removing all late blight -infected tub- ers. There are also other tuber -rot- ting fungi capable of causing enorm- ous losses. The following combina- tion of precautions is suggested: (1) Prevent digger and handling injuries. (2) Control late blight foliage infec- tion. (3) Avoid exposing- potatoes to temperature below 30 degrees F. and above 48 degrees F. (4) Maintain good ventilation conditions :n the storage house or basement. US IR 1. NE NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER A calf was conveyed to the Royal Winter Fair by airplane. That's the nearest approach to the cow jumping ever the moon that we have noticed, remarks one editor. A total of $7,000,000 will be ex- pended next year throughout the eurnties and townships of Ontario in he improvement •of sideroads. This 's nearly three times, the amount ;pent during the past year and will 'oubtless prove of great value to many farmers. Council IViinutes. — The municipal council of the Township of Usborne met lit the Township Hall, Elimville, on December 7th, 1929, in its regular monthly meeting. All the members of council were present with Reeve Bei- lantyne in the chair. The minutes of the meeting of November 2nd were read and approved on motion of Dew - Berry.

From a recent announcement of the Vegetable Growers' Association of North America, it appears that Geo. Bycroft, who resides , near London Ont., is the "Celery King of America." Mr. Bycroft grows the new Paris Gol- dee variety and his celery soil is a sandy loam watered by an overhead negation system. A good coat of . manure was plowed down in the spring and before the plants were set out, 2,500 nounds to the acre of 0-12 —15 mixture was broadcast and worked in. When the plants were a foot high they were side -dressed with Chilean nitrate of soda at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre. This was re- peated two or three times. By giving his plants an adequate supply of plant food, Mr. Bycroft was able to secure the succulent growth neces- sary in high quality celery. The plants were bleached by boarding the sides of the rows. Several of Ontario's foremost agri- eultural experts served as judges at recent International Live Stock Exposition in Chicago. They includ- ed: John Miller of Ashburn (Short- 1-orn cattle class): H. Noel Gibson, of Kokoma (Shropshire sheep); Duncan Johnson, of Appin (Oxfordsheep); end W. T. G. Wiener, Ottawa, (small grains). Ontario Agricultural College s usual, sent a live stock judging team to compete against the pick of the United States. Growing Nut Trees. A new development in the work of beautifying the countryside of On- tario is seen in the organization of an association in Elgin County with a view of stimulating the planting of nut trees. This association hopes- to secure the co-operation of the Elgin County Council in planting rows of nut trees on both sides of No. 3 High- way from border to border of the county. In addition, the annual yield of these trees and their timber value merit consideration. Hydro For the Farm. Electrification of Ontario farms will be stimulated during 1930 by the pro- gramme of expansion recently an- nounced which will result in the build- ing of 2,000 miles of hydro lines in the rural districts, as comparesi with 1,100 during the past year. It is al- so expected that service charges will he reduced and loans made available for installation of electrical equipment on the farm. The mileage added dur- ing 1929 will serve 6700 new custom- ers and bring the total to 5,000 miles already in operation. Any elaborate account of Canada's nsrt in the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago is rendered pro- hibitive in this column due to lack of space. However, we believe that e‘snadian farmers generally followed with keen interest and pride the daily newspaper reports of remarkable vic- tories scored by Canadians in the de- partments of field crops, live stock. poultry and others. Curbing Chicken Thefts. • Chicken thieving is on the wane in Ontsrio, according to a recent state- ment by Hen. John S. Martin, Minis- ter of Agriculture, and the legislation passed at the last session of the leg- islature is given a big share of the credit for the satisfactory situation now prevailing. Thefts are still oc- curring but they are scattered and hear little resemblance to the epidem- ics which prevailed for a time. The new legislation empowers police of - &era to search poultry transports and compels, truckers and others to keep close check on the birds they are transporting. Not only have $106 fines been levied. hut a total of 92 of the offenders were sent to jail in the year ending October 31st last. STEWART' BROS. SEE sTEIVAIRT OS: 11.

Small, unmerchantable potatoes may very profitably be fed to poultry. An experiment to compare boiled pot- atoes with corn meal in the laying mash showed that the potato -fed pens did even better than when corn meal was used. Each group was fed a scratch mixture of two parts of crack- ed corn, two parts wheat, and one part oats. One group received a dry mash containing equal parts of corn meal, wheat bran, wheat middlings, and crushed oats. The other group received a moist mash consisting of 'ouai parts of wheat bran, wheat mid- dlings and crushed oats mixed with boiled potatoes. The proportions fed were two parts potatoes and one part mash. Each group received charcoal grit, milk, green feed and water. Both egg production and hatching results showed an advantage in the case of: the potato -fed poultry. York County is reputed to have more great young Jersey bulls than any other country in America. One ieason is that there are three Bagg herds in the county and for two de- cades only outstanding sires have been used in these herds. Production com- bined with show ring quality is con- sidered essentiaL therefore sites are selected only from families known both in the show ring and at the pail. An outstanding feature of the re- cent International Live Stock Show at Chicago was the 0. A. C. exhibit built around the theme "Canadian amb Has a Place in the Sun." It was prepared under the direction of John Buchanan, director of extension nt OA.C., in co-operation with the Industrial and Development Council of the Canadian Meat Packers. Testing the Wheat Cree. During recent weeks some splen- did work has been done in testing the eking qualities of Canada's 1929 •eheat erop at Trent Institute, the School of Commercial Baking at 0. N. C. Roth the hard spring wheat of !he western provinces and the softer winter wheats of Ontario have been miler test. The report on the former is that the quality is in every way superior to the two previous crops, while the Ontario product, which is used chiefly eake-making. is said to he superior in both milling and flaking qualities to that produced in 1928. There is no evidence of sprout ed wheat, which was the cause o1' some difficulty in handling but year's crop. On the other hand. the protein is lower, but on the while it appears to be of excellent quality. Meekeeping Progress. In conneetion with the reeent eon - Z. E.

Endiividual Busiaese THOMAS DICKSON.LMr. Thomas Dickson, of the Dickson Feed and Seed Store, Main Street, Seaforth, is a native of McKillop Town- ship, where he farmed successfully for a number of years. In 1919 he retired from the farm and purchased a home in Seaforth, where he has since been a well kri)vrn resident. For six years, dur- ing the summer months, he was employed in The Bell Engine Works, and in 1926 he purchased the well known and established Flour and Feed business of Mr. W. M. Stewart. Ile carries a most complete stock of flour, feed and seedis of all kinds, and his long residence in the district, has given him a wide business connection with the farming community, which his courteous treatment and service to customer is eteadily increasing.

The explorer himself, or at least part of him. resides in West- minster Abbey. His soul remains marching through Africa. It has still a long way to march, but Liv- ingstone will be remembered as the great pioneer of racial equality so far as the blacks are concerned, and if the day ever comes when this '-quality becomes a practical reality, another immortal monument will have been erected to ' this extraordinary man. Livingstone may be regarded as a missionary, or a medical doctor, -r an explorer and scientist, for he -"as all of these, but it is mostly the stark manhood of him that won him universal respect and affection while he lived, and has persisted almost as national tradition since his death. He was a profoundly religious boy, the son of profoundly e religious pae- nts, but he was as inquiring as he vie religious and the fact that he studied Latin while he worked at his loom is an indication of that quest- ing spirit which would not let him rest in Africa until lie had sought to lay bare her hidden mysteries. He early formed the ambition to beeorne a missionary, but he was no more consumed with a desire to save the souls of Whatever heathen he might minister to as he was to heal their bodies, so he took a medical course. His original intention was ,to :go to China, but when the time came !for him to sail for foreign lands the opium was barred him from China and he turned to Africa. He declared that ihe would remain single, but that if , at some future time he should change his mind he would advertise in the • Evangelical magazines for "some de- cent widow." As matters fell out, however, when he visited Dr. Moffat lat Kuruman, he met the doctor's 'daughter Mary, whom Livingstone de- • scribed as a "matter-of-fact lady, a little, thick, black -,haired girl and all , I want." With his wife he set forth on his missionary work, and even af- ter- children came to them he tried the experiment of taking the family along. He had the experience of hunting for water while his little ones waited with the pangs of thirst and I eventually comcluded that those dear I to him were too great a handicap. So he sent them back to Scotland and proceeded alone. It was an unknown Africa that he proceeded to invade, an Africa of which little was known save a few score miles from the coast. There are probably some reading this column who can remember when the maps of the continent showed the interior in black, signifying, perhaps, the color cf the inhabitants as well as the com- plete ignorance of all other features of it. Here Livingstone busied him- self establishing stations, ministering' to mind and body, teaching the na-i dyes something of God and medical science as he -knew then e learning something from them of their habits and languages. Ile dame early in eontaet with the slave trade and we might say that in time his twin am- bitions were to extirpate this infamy and solive the geographical mysteries of the land. These seemed to him to be of more importance than curing the of a few natives or even of pres- enting them with a new theology. The ' missionary society whictl had sent him out and was supporting him did not take this view and so Livingstone resigned. Thereafter until the end of his career he may be said to have him. Perhaps it was merely his paa- sion far exploration. In any event he plunged in and vanished once more. The journey was to take him years, and it was on this occasion that Jas. Gordon Bennett, owner of the Neve York Herald, in response to the de- mand of a world-wide interest and anxiety, sent Stanley to find him - Stanley did find him deep in the heart of Africa, almost at the end of hio physical and mental resources, seem - lived on the country like any native. ingly a dying man.

So when his health had been regained he turn- ed and tramped back into the jungle. After penetrating the continent from the north and walking along equator- ial Africa to the west coast, he turn - led his attention to`the eaet. Perhaps the ambition to be the 'first man- ever to have crossed Africa appealed to
