"COUNTRY CONCERT" There's a tinge» of freest' Ila the' air and a cheery fire 'of good dry maple in the little heater in the front room and I've been slating, here for an hour trying to collect my scattered wits I just can't figure out why I'm not writing anything . , and then. I re- alize it must be the fowl supper at the church. We attended it' last night, and s usual I. shocked Mrs. Phil because I ate too much. She said that ,people would think I never got anything at ''home. Well, last year I wrote one letter on the fowl supper. This year I want to speak about the concert. Goodness knows, there's been prac- tising for it almost every night dur- ing the past two months. At first 9t was once a week, then twice a week and it's been:evety night for the past two' weeks. The young folks were as tickled and tee*. as if they had been opening in a command performance before the Kiting and Queen. Everybody was well fed . the tables were cleared away and we sat c'.pwn to wait for the play. There a -as the rumbling of tables and chairs and the excited giggling of Millie Simpkins, and occasionally a face would peer out from a rent in the curtain to see if we were having a full house. After two or three false starts the orchestra under the direc- tion of Jim White, started off with Yankee Doodle and then evidently thinking better of it, they changed tc playing something that was a cross between a very sick Turkey in the Straw and a dyseeptie kitten on the keys. They came to an abrupt stop, but. Ed Jenks, playing second fiddle, kept on bravely and played to the ' end. . . . he. was quite a way behind. Everybody applauded: Then that Daniels boy from town, the one who works in, the chain gro- eery"and wears "smelling -grease" on . his hair, came out and made a very pretty speech. He sounded to me as he expressed hope that people would enjoy their humble efforts, as 'if he would talk the same way trying to pawn off a pound of wormy raisins,. But everybody applauded that too. Then the curtain was drawn back, and there was the same scenery on the stage khat has been there ever since the Uncle Tom's Cabin show broke down in '08. Of course, they had one of those gilt-edged mottoes, "God Bless Our Happy Home," on the wall and a new calendar on the wall, but it looked pretty Well con- sidering the fact that it's beep doing Service for thirty years. As usual George Hendry was, sit- ting up on the red settee with the, false whiskers on (there's one pair) and with his stockinged feet up on the chair beside the table with the three legs.

D. McLeod, of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch. It is a biennial and requires ttvo years to produce need. Flowers may be seen from July to September in white clusters which are flat topped when open. When nearing maturity these flower clusters curl up and if plants are not destroi'- ed they will break off during fall and winter, scattering millions of seeds over frozen ground and. snow. Thus it will be seen that clean areas miles distant may be infested if plants are permitted to mature seed., The im- portance of destroying all plants' im- m,ediately after they come in flower cannot be emphasized too strongly, Mr. McLeod' states. The seeds of Wild Carrot, thou- sands of which may be found on an at'erage plant, bear rows of prickles whie`h stick to animals, clothing, etc., and are thus carried long distan " This weed does not give any dif- ficu]ty in fields where thorough cult- ivation and a, short rotation of crops is practised. However, in meadows, wrh4ch are down two years or more. clover and timothy fields which are being kept for seed and in pas- ture fields, fence lines, waste places and roadsides it is rapidly becoming une of our worst weeds in that it smothers out pasture and hay crops, robs the soilof plant food and mois- ture and lowers the market value of seed crops, A short rotation—clovers, buck- wheat, hoed crops and early summer cultivation, followed by fall wheat or rye are excellent methods of control- ling this pest. Pulling, spudding or cutting for two years in svccessdon will not give new plants an oppor- tunity to mature seed and will les- sen the amount of Wild Carrot con- siderably. When a single plant or a small patch is observed all ot)le'tr work should be dropped until every plant is eradicated. Ail clover and timothy fields being' kept for Seed should be gone over 'carefuily and all Wild Carrot plants rogued out. Sheep will keep wild carrot ero•p- lsed close if permitted to pasture on an infested area before plants'become too far iadvanceica Pasture fields or hay ileitis where a si•nigte cut of hay 'has been taken off• early should be trimmed again first in September and. if plants have reached the curling up stage the whole area-stould be raked up • and burned. - Chemical weed killers are the only practical solution for the control of thisweed on rorltiisldes, fence lines and all areas whetle It. is impossible to cultivate. Experiments oonductecl at various points throughout the Prov- ince have proven conclusively that this weed can be destroyed by spray- ing with Sodium Chlorate ' Without any permanent' injury to the grass, using from ry4 to le a ,pound per gal- lon of water. Plants should be qprayed to -saturation a day or two toot the fira1; blooms have appeared using a high pressers sprayer.

The derrick being used is of a different construe - tion, having one mast and mounted on wheels..It will probably be several days, yet before drilling starts as we understand there is more machinery yet to come.—Clinton NewsLRecord. Ladies Fire Brigade A number of ladies acted. as a volunteer fire brigade on Tuesday afternoon and prevented what might have been a serious fire. A • small bonfire had been lighted on Princess Street in the ditch. The strong south wind which was blowing at the time carried the flames across ,the sidewalk to a lawn where other leaves had ac- cumulated. The fire spread rapidly and raced toward a nearby residence. Fortunately a lady niotieed the dan- ger and quickly raised the alarm. Her neighbors were quickly on hand with rakes and bitckets of water to pre- vent any'damage.—Clinton News -Re- cord. Perch Fishing is Popular Sport Even old-timers are shaking their heads' in wonder at the enormous catches of perch being taken from the lake here by rod and line fishermen type last few daps. Some whose mem- ory goes back a lopg way say they cannot remember when the perch run was so heavy as it has been lately. A,nid the fishing public ,has been quick to take advantage of the run. Break- waters, have been lined at the gap wee fishermen, and scores have dot- ted the piers the last few days, and every one has caught as many fish as he wanted or even as many as he could carry.—Goderich Signal -Star. Car Wrecked by Deer On Monday morning when Mr. M. Sheffield, of the Shelager Store, was motoring to Wingliam from Shel- bourne, a deer ran onto the road and crashed into his ear. Mr. Sheffield escaped injury but his car was dam- aged to the extent cf about $250.00. Most of the damage was done to the front of the car. The deer was kill- ed. The accident happened between Shelbourne and Orangeville.—Wing- ham Advance -Times.

Glamis Mill and Garage Burned Commonly known as Full•erton's, thechopping mill at Glamis is a to- tal loss as the result of fizie which broke out when a spark ignited gaso- line used in the engine which power- ed the chopping machinery. The gaso- line tank exploded, setting the mill ablaze—quickly it spread to a garage on the property of David Gamble, which also was lost, along with an- other little shed in the . vicinity.— Wingtham Advance -Times. Thirteen First Prizes Mr. William Decker, of Zurich, has a chestnut team of general purpose horses, the finest to be found in this section. At the fall fairs that have just been concluded this team won thirteen first pnizes and one second.

SUGAR BEET YIELD GOOD Although the acreage of this crop amounted to only 28,200 acres this year as compared with 30,300 acres in 1937, estimated' production is plac- ed at 293,000 tons as against 240,400 tons in 1937. Owing to favorable weather conditions the yield per acre will be slightly more than 10 tons. whereas a year ago the yield was 7.94 tons per acre- Sugar content wall av- erage over 15 per cent. Harvesting commenced about October' 1st and Inc. tories srtartel operations on. October' 5th. Prices this season are $6.25 per tun for "clenn" beets testing 14 per cant. sugar, delivered at factory, or $$5 50 per ton if delivered to weigh stations. INSECT RAVAGES '1 he Europeri. corn borer, as men - tarried in the September Report, de - c eased in number in Estee and Kent counties, nut is still quite abundant, there in some ltmallties. East of To- rcLto it is about the same, on the a"crage, as in 1937. In Middlesex, Lantbton, Elgin and Norfolk counties there has been a decided increase. Elgin and i.ambbon at present are the most heavily infested counties. White grubs are very numerous in artndsod in Hastings and Y areas Peterborough counties. As they are only in the first stage they will do much more damage next year when they will be in the second year stage turd therefore larger than in 1938. In York, Ontario, and Durham counties, the white grubs'are• in their second year stage and have injured severely a number of timothy meadows and old pastures, and also 'have been troublesome to vegetables. In these ;atter areas there will he little or no bauble next year. Squash bugs are still numerous, es- pecially in gardens. Grasshoppers are more abundant than usual in al- most every area visited, It is prob- Able that if the weather next spring is favorable they may cause a good deal of damage, especially in as e lands, old pastures and meado s and crops immediately surrounding h Zebra caterpillars in the northern part of Peel and a few other areas re. v :•tenant on turnips. Tee variegated cutworm and the g'•eenhou•se leaf tyer have inpured some fields of celery in the •Burling- ton area.

Compared with what certainly remains. to be ku:owm, however, that knowledge is still negligible. More than 2,000 fathoms deep—or feet—is' called the Abyssal Zone. It covers more than half the world's surface 90,5000,000 square miles., Its greatest depth is about six miles. Absolute daelrness exists ip that strange locality.' The 'tempera= tune is unchanging, always remain- ing at three to four degrees Fahren- heit above ; freezing point. At 3,000 fathoms there is a pressure of three tons to the square inch. There are no rocks; no vegetatiion.. The bed is apparently composed of a gently un- duiating plane of ooze. So much we know froth the results of systematic sounding and deep sea trawling, for no one has ever descended to such a depth. The maximum 'depth at which .a diver can -Work ork is still only about 45 feet. Dr. Beebe in ,his bathy- sphere, has reached a little more than 3,000 'feet. Although some highly peculiar fish have been discovered, it is pretty Certain—with depths of 5t,, miles or so still to be explored extending over vast areas of the earth's surface— that a great many just as queer, or even queerer, still remain to be found., u, Among the brilliantly colored fish are the copepods, "insects of the sea." They form three quarters of the total of any typical deep sea haul, and in parts of the North Sea have been found distributed one -to the cubic inch. They mostly have torpedo -shaped bodies and jointed tails, and a single eye is set in the middle of their foreheads. They row thefns•elves along by jerks of long feelers, like the antennae of a but- terfly. Some are transparent, but most are brilliant scarlet, purple and green. The arrow worm, which reminds one somewhat' of a woman wearing ear -rings, is actually a few inches long, and shoots through the water with flicks of the tail fins. They thrive at all levels, but are found chiefly within 2,000 feet or so, of the surface. They are usually white, or transparent. In the surface levels light still filters through palely, and most of them are e-ystal-clear, or have coats of blue and silver—blue on top to give' invisibility from the air against the reflected blue of the sea's surface, and silver on their un riei'sides as a proteetion from hungry fish swimming beneath them. Living below daylight, at levels to 'niece only the red rays of the sun penetrate, colors change to orange reds and black. The deep sea shrimp is bright scarlet. It starts out witb only six legs, but in due course 30 more grow, the original six changing into extremely capable feelers and j..ws. But the deep `sea shtmp has an even more impressive accom- plishment than that of growing legs. He can "explode"! Should anything ;,term hint he aotu•allY shoots out a ✓ inud of luminous Hued, as dazzling i;s the headlights of a Rolls Royce in a country lane. Most of the creatures he encounters, however, have equally cl,iz:eine accomplishments, and life in the' sea's underworld is therefore an enormous fireworks display! 'Some fish can throw off defense - clouds e hlch, Dr. Beebe tells us', ex- plode in a burst of inldivi°duai sparks, for all the world like Roman candles. Others carry headlights Which they can switch off and on, or little bulbs on the tip of an elongated fin. Widle- modihs lave elaborate rows of lights on their une•ersides, extending fnornr head to tail, and giving the appear- ance of illuminated portholes on an oeenn liner, A few fish shine all ov- er with luminous slime. The angler -fish has a lighted bait on the end' of an elongated feeler which looks like a fishing rod, han• tern fish carry both ]read and tail. h.^•his. Some creatures can vary the color of their lights, and deep sea cuttlefish carry lights of red, white, olid blue! The light organ is usually n powerful lens to project the days. the skin often being used to dim or shut off the light as occasion de- mands. Up to the present time the bathy- sphere has only explor•ecl half a mile down into the abyss. In the rema.iw ing 5% miles anything may live.

Next comes a' piece of pork, over which is sprinkled a bit of sauer- kraut. Down comes the cutter and out goes newly flavored pork. Then comes a snee of raw ham and a slice of veal with a sliver of cheese in between. Down comes the blades and out goes a shoe of combined pork -veal -cheese needing only two slices of bread and a customer. Sometimes a slice of round steak is rolled up with a slice of bacon, placed unsi'er the cutter, which inter- locks amd flattens them into -a slice for the layers of bread. Other new combinations are constantly being' contrived' like "spinach and lamb," "onions and steak," "corn and beef," "sausage and beef" The best news for the average 'tomo is that the•nanufaetur•er is coo•sidering a similar machine on a smaller scale to be made available' for the housewife. This, however, is still in the experimental stage, but when it does come, it is predicted the housewife will sit up nights; thinking of new 'combinations of food to fill that sandwich. Other new machines to speed the cooking in restaurants were exhibit- ed at the mart. Huge pieces of equip- ment which cook six bushels of beans at a time, for instance, giant toast- ers which turn out dozens of pieces of toast all at once for waiting cus- tomers, enormous pressure cookers. MILK PRODUCTION With the exception of two small groups of counties, one in the central portion of the province taking In Halton, Peel and Simcoe, and .the other In the East, including Lennox and Addington. Frontenac and Glen- garry., the condition of pastures is above average. As a result milk flow is holding up well and all classes of livestock are in good shape, The quantity of milk sent to cheese fac- tories and creameries. ie. September of this year as compared with Sep- tember last year, showed a consider- able increase in South Western and Central Ontario, but a very substar,- tie] decline in Eastern Ontario-, CURRENT CROP REPORT Weather conditions during late September and early October were t ery satisfactory for the development and 'harvesting a tate entre. The growth of both turnips and mangolds has, been very good and production per acre will be slightly better than last year. Sugar beets are yielding considerably higher this season with the tonnage per acre placed at 10.40 tone as compared wile only 7.94 tons in 1937. Corn for ensilage has been all cut and placed in silos. Farmers growing this crop obtained mausuai- ly good yields this season_ The iiv- erage for Ontario is now estimated at 10.30 tons per acre as compamed with 9.71 tons a year ago. The main crop of potatoes, 'however, is giving disappointing yields in most counties partictrla.rly so in Northern Ontario, and the total production for 1938 is the •l(twest wince the year 1916, with the per acre yield estimated at only 48 cwt. as against 67 cwt. last year. Fall wheat is making good growth al- thour there are many ftelds of late enwn wheat. More than the usnal mount of fall ploughing has been completed to date.
