The choir, under the leadership of Mr. Gordon Rennie, and with Miss Edith Hillen presiding at the organ, will render special music. The life of 'Caren Church as an or- ganized body goes back to 1875, -.when in July of that year a. petition•for organization as a congregation was presented to the Presbytery of Hur- on through 'the session of Duff's Church, 'McKillop. The petition was .signed by 23 members "and 21 adher- ents of Duff's Church, residing in the Winthrop distriet. The Presbytery on August 10, 1875, granted the re- quest and Rev. Hr. Thompson, pastor of Duff's Church, was instructed to organize the congregation. The meet- ing for organization was held in Duff's :Church on August 19, 1875. The original members of Caven Church were 24 in number, of whom the only one living is Mrs. James Hillen, who resides in the Winthrop district with her son, :Calvin Hillen. Thi first church built was a large frame structure, and it was opened on December 29, 1875. During the pas- torate of Rev. Mr. Carswell the pres- ent ahurch was :built. It is the large brick church with stone foundation that one passes when travelling on the Seaforth-Brussels road. Until the time of Union 'of the churches, in Canada, Duff's Church, McKillop, and Caven Church, Win- throp, formed a pastoral charge of the :Presbyterian Ohurdh. At the time of Union in 1925, these :two churches entered into union. They, together with the Bethel appoint - n enla !form. the !I'VI!cKillop pastoral. charge :of the United Church. .Throughout the years, ' :the church has had thriving organizations, The Sunday 'Scholl was organized in 1874 and has been a wonderful power for good in the community, It has had but two Superintendents during its lung existence. Mr. Andrew Goven- lock was the first Superintendent, and he retained the superintendency for a quarter of a century. Ever since the beginning of the present century Mr. Thomas Dodds :has been the capable and efficient Superintendent. He has a faithful group of teachers and of- ficers to back him in his work. ' The Young People's organizations have played a large part in the life of the eomnipnity. The first Young People's Society was formed in 1905. The .president of the society at the present time is Mr. Neil Montgomery. The first woman's organization in the congregation began on Septem- ber 18, 1900, and was known as the Ladies' Society of Christian Workers. i he Society worked both for missions and for the local congregation. In 1915 it became an associate society` of the W.M.S. and in 1919 it was or- ganized as a regular auxiliary of the W.M.S. The president of the wo- man's 'organization for the current year, is Mrs. C. Hillen. Threughiout all its history the Wo- man's Organization h a s worked faithfully. It is largely through the untiring efforts of the Woman's As- sociation that the church is so beau- tifully decorated for the Jubilee. In •1907 :when the present church was built, the ladies' organization under- took to seat the auditorium 'of the church. And throughout the years the Board of Management has been active in the administration of the temporal matters, the present chair- man being Mr. Robert McFarlane. In spiritual affairs the Session have been earnest and faithful in their ef- forts. Mr. Alex. Cuthill is now the Clerk of Session. Caven Church, Winthrop, has been served by six ministers: Rev. T. Thompson, Rev. P. Musgrove, Rev.,D. Carswell, Rev. J. A. Ferguson, B.A., Rev. W. F. Smith, and the present pastor, Rev. G. E. Morrow, B.A. :Caven Church, Winthrop, situated as it is in the heart of Huron Coun- ty, has had through its many years of service, an opportunity to influence for good the lives of many. bt is ministering to the needs of a large community. The Lime Question A valuable pamphlet has just been issued by bh•e Department 'Of Chemis- try, O.A:C., on the subject, "Lime and Its Uses." The pamphlet, after discussing the nature of soil acidity, points out that it is caused by lime being leached from the soil and re- moved by crops. Soil acidity is of increasing im- portance since otr acid soils, soluble phosphates form combinations that are•not readily available to growing crops. In other words, available l.hosph:oric acid in manure and in fer- tilizers applied to an acid soil does not help bh•e crop to the fullest ex- tent since it becomes Locked up in un- aveiiable forms. This is the immed iate cause for greater interest in 'liming of soils. Different farm and garden crops can tolerate different degrees of soil acidity. A classification of crops is given in the pamphlet.

Farm Notes Spring Fairs While the majority of Agricultur- al Society fairs are held in the aut- umn, several spring fairs are con- ducted and May 24th is ,a popular date. The shows at Bro•oklin in South Ontario and Richmond Hill; in York County, were well attended on the holiday, and entries were. numerous and. of good quality. • Fall Fairs are not held at these points. This also applies to the fair at Clairville,. Peel County, on May 29, and to the summer show of the Kemptvdlle Society on June 18th to 20th. • County Agricultural Meetings County meetings of Agricultural Society Officers were held recently in Perth, Huron and Middlesex. Almost 100 per cent. representation was re- alized at .Stratford and 'Clinton and at London every Society in Middlesex County was represented. This is evidence of increasing en- thusiasm on the part of Agricultural Society Officers. A broader programme for Agricul- tural' Societies was • discussed and many important features of, fair manaigem+ent 'received consideration. At each meeting the classification of horses promoted lively exchange of views as evidently this is found to be a problem at many, fairs. The consensus of opinion seemed to be, rules on horse classes should be more strictly enforced and exhibitors should be permitted to enter in pro- per classes, only. The educational value of Fairs is depreciated if prizes are awarded to ai:imals out of class. Weeds in the Pasture Keeping the `izceds clown in the pasture means work at intervals dur- ing the season if they are all to be killed. If left for any length of time or even for a short time in favorable weather, they will ripen and ,scatter their seed. This being an extra job for which time has to be found some- where in the midst of the press of work, quick methods are most desir- able. The tall growing weeds should first be eliminated, wild carrot, fern and ragweed which can be destroyed by mowing, cutting. grubbing or pull- ing. • Close systematic mowing prob- ably accomplishes the most'"good with the least amount of man labor, and if faithfully followed will destroy most weeds. There are others such 's hawkweed and dandelion that grow SPECIAL Vacation FARES Get particulars of these Bargains in comfortable travel before plan- ning your vacation. Save money.

One effective way to eradicate such weeds is to apply lime and phosphate fel., tilizers to the pasture. These help the white clover, which adds nitro- gen gen to the soil and also helps the grass to grow rank enough to smoth- er out the weeds. Soil deficient in plant food cannot produce a good pasture. • The graduating class of one hun- dred and twenty at the Ontario Ag- ricultural College this year will be the second largest in the history of the institution. In 1923 there were 147 graduates, but this was due to the fact that an exceptionally large number of men who had served ovs erseas returned to complete their courses in the preceding two years, and this 'actually represented • the graduates who otherwise would have been distributed over about • four years. •More than ordinary attention will be given this year to flax and barley in Huron, Ontario. One flax mill op- erator has contracted for about '2,800 acres. In Seaforth a mill has been fitted for the manufacture of malt from selected Ontario grown barley. It is expected that' - o0,0 0 0 bushels of barley will be handled in this plant. In Glengarry County the prospects are for an increase in the.acr•eage of L'arley. Grant Four, Junior •Fairs An announcement of much interest to those concerned with junior agri- cultural activities was made by the Dominion Department of Agriculture recently, when grants were offered• to Class A and Class B exhibit:ons, and to Winter and Summer shows, to be applied specifically' to the support of boys' and girls' club work and to junior activities generally. The maxi- mum grant that may be earned by each fair, for this purpose,,is $500.• The objectives in mind "in the pr•o-c vision of these 'grants are -to sup- plement and encourage junior activi- ties as organized by department of- ficers in the areas served by the fairs, to develop new exihihitors for the future, and to stimulate a con- structive interest in fairs on the part of young people and their parents. To Kill a Society The advice given by John F. Clark at the recent Horticultural Conven- tion might well be pondered by all of us as it may be applied to any f the 'organizations with which we are connected. Mr. Clark has listed a few sure ways of killing an organiza- tron, hut fortunately has not forgot- ten some suggestions which are con- structive. Ways To Kill a Society -Do not at- tend the meetings, or always be late in entering. Criticize and find fault with everything attempted. Never assist in securing members, selling tickets or acting ort committees, and only give adverse opinions regarding the work of active members. Always demand somethings, for your services and advice. Never stand for office,. How To' Assist the Soclety-Prompt attendance at all meetings, and hearty co-operation with the officers. Be satisfied to act on committees and Aare responsibility of office. Advo- cate service to the community rather than selfishly expect premiums and personal gain from membership. Do not decline to stand for election and be slow to resign when something fads to please. Seize every oppor- tunity to advertise the Society and spread the knowledge of horticulture. British Fruit•Market Canadian apple growers have ov- ercome many difficulties in establish- ing an export market for their pro - (wets. They were pioneers in ac- cepting government grading as a means of building up a reputation for quality. In spite of discouraging prices in the past few years the ag- ents of co-operative shippers have pushed sales on the British market and stand' in a better position to -day than• ever before. In the season that has closed Canadians fared even bet- ter than the "English growers who had a large crop that brought very poor returns. Mr, A. Fulton who is the overseas,. representative of On- tario growers claims that wonderful progress has been made in packing and handling of apples in the past six years. The principal factor con- tributing to the improved quality and condition of Ontario apples has been in estalblishing central packing houses and cold storage plants in the pro- ducing areas. These modern facili- ties haSe allowed more uniform grad- ing and have largely overcame the tremendous loss in wastage that was ex+per•ienced before they were intro- duced. The elimination of numerous brands and the adoption of a few specialized marks, such as "Big 0" and "Narflolik," has been a progres- sive step. This has :been made :pa's, Bible by the local organizations which shipped in regulated fashion to meet the market demands.

A :Ota of 3421 head were transferred on the reeor;ds of the Association, representing ;28 per Bent. more sales than have been recorded in any other month in its history. United Statds buyers took 1,040 head, bringing their total for the year up to 2,454 and far exceed- ing xceeding the number shipped in any other like period. A new record 'was also created when 238 changes of owner- ship were recorded in a single day. As a result of the tremendous de- mand, both locally and for export, prices have increased about 25 per cent. and the majority of the ship- ments are now avetaging near the $100.00 mark. ' Total transfers for the first four months of 1935 number 8,117 head and show an increase bf 70 .per cent. over 1934. Total registrations in the same period numbered 10,234 head, representing an increase over last year of about 20 per eent.lc Soil Drifting Control While extensive plane for the re- habilitation of the drought areas 'of the Prairie 'Prolvinees are proceeding, a bulletin from the Dominion Depart- ment of A,grfculture has just been issued giving detailed information a- bout the most successful methods nowkrtowe for controlling soil drift- ing. Dt is available on application. Few areas on the prairies are en- tirely immune from soil drifting and observations indicate that extremely light and extremely heavy soils, such as sands and clays, are more suscept- ible tb drifting than the soils collec- tively known as loam. In wooded or park areas, with natdral protection against wind, soil drifting is rela- tively infrequent but on occasions has been serious. Generally speak• r • rnt;Southern Alberta, Southern!
