The new case is Jimmy Foxton, 4 -year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert - ton, Bluevale Road. The little fellow was taken ill about seven days ago and it was not long before his illness was diagnosed as infantile, paralysis. This is the second case to develop here this fall. — Wingham Advance - Times. Farm Purchased Mr. and IMrs. Gordon Hayter, of Detroit, have purchased the farm of the late Archie Towers on the Thames Road. The farm; was sold by auction Thursday of last week, the price_ being $3,850. The farm •consists of 100 acres and on it is an L-shaped bank barn, two-storey brick house and a frame drive shed. -There is also a hardwood bush of between six and seven acres. On the day• of the sale an offer of $1,000 was made for •the bush alone. F. Taylor was the auctioneer.—Exeter Times -Advocate. Arrives in England Rev. William Mair of Thomas Road received a cablegram on Monday from his son, Stuart, stating that he bad arrived safely in England. Stuart is a wireless operator with the Cana- dian Navy. He ,had been stationed at Halifax. Stuart has numerous rel- atives in Great Britain. He has grandparents atuxton Derbyshire and at Paisley, geotland. — Exeter Times -Advocate. A Fact a Week About Canada From the Dominion Boresn of Statistics FARM MANURE Farmyard manure' is the oldestand best known method of fertilizing land, the chief trouble being that rarely Can the farmer get enough of it. Experiments conducted -'over a per- iod of sixteen years at the Quebec Experimental Station of the Domin- ion Governm•en•t, give interesting com- parisons of the value of manure and commercial fertilizers. Ina four-year rotation of potatoes, oats, clover and timothy, sixteen -tons of manure, ten tons•,.of manure suppientented by 450 - pounds of fertilizer and 1,800 pounds of fertilizer gave practically the cams yields on the average of 16 years. The ma. ure plots produced a few more ove ize potatoes than those with -the manure plus the fertilizer or the ones with fertilizer alone. 'Phus 16 tons of manure would be • about eq- ual in value to 1,800 pounds of fertili- zer. In order to maintain. the fertility of farm land, it is generally consid- ered advisable to make an applica- tion of manure equal to four tons per sere per- year. This is not applied every year, but usually once or twice during a rotation, depending on the crop grown. In a• four-year rotatA4rn, starting with a shoed crop, the sixteen tons of manure is spread before the crop. In a grain •and hay rotation, this amount of manure before the grain crop would cause it to lodge. The best practice is to use eight tons before the grain and use the other eight tons as a top dressing on the fray' land. Where there is not suffici- ent manure, it may be supplemented to good advantage by chemical fer- tilizer. In the wartime series of bulletins issued by the Agricultural Supplies Board, No. 27 deals exclusively with farmyard manure, and No. 25 with fertilizers fol• various crops. Other bulletins deal with the fertilizing of specific crops. These bulletins may be obtained free. • A sturdy little universal carrier, one of the many which have been turned out of Canada's automotive plants, is put through its paces on the testing ground. Canada At War (Continued-. rom Page 2) hicle assembly line. The military units pass down the assembly line, each part at hand on a moving con- veyor line at the time scheduled. As the sunits move, the .bddies are fas- tened on to the chassis, the fenders, doors, wheels, etc„ put in place, un- til the unit comes to the last opera- tion where a gallon of gasoline is poured into the tank, and the unit drives off the assembly. line under i,s own power. This one factory turns out 450 military vehicles each 24 hours. I think that the two' most interest- ing types of military mechanized un- its are the universal carriers and the four-wheel drive ' artillery tractors. The universal carrier, formerly called the Bren gun carrier, is a low -slung vehicle, propelled by means of tank - like treads. They are. armoured against small arms and can travel ov- er extremely rough country with great manoeuvrability and speed. The four- wheel • drive artillery tractor drives the front wheels as well as the rear. Should the front wheels become bog- ged down, the back wheels will push them out, and if the bCek wheels be- come bogged down, the front wheels will pull the back wheels out. The units can climb a grade as steep as 60 per cent. In other words, for ev- ery ten feet they travel forward, they are able to climb six feet. Motor Men Turn Out Guns! Let's journey now to another auto- motive plant. Here "we find an as- sembly line similar in principle to ,he one just described. The same type of units are being produced as described in the previous plant, but with a smaller volume of production. When the government was faced with the necessity of producing, field guns and naval guns, it turned to the automotive industry for help. This factory undertook to direct operation of a new armament plant that had just been built, and get it into pro- duction. Today; field guns are roll- ing off an assembly line, for the first time in Canadian` history, is produc- ing heavy calibre field guns. All the genius and efficiency of this automo- tive factory has gone into the prd- duction of these guns. Another item that this plant is producing ,in quan- tity is motors, to be used in Britain to haul down the balloons in the bar- rages over land and sea. Over 3,000 motors for this purpose were deliver- ed in the space of a few months. We have time for a hurried visit to one more factory. This plant is also producing equipment similar- to that in the other two. plants. In ad- dition to this, however, a large new building is under construction, cover- ing several acres, and will be into production in a few months with 2,- 700 men producing small" arms, for the fighting forces. This plant has already produced a total of more than 112;000 motors.

Wit Wit is a dangerous thing, even to the possessor, if be know not how to use it discreetly.—Montaigne. Success^ Success is not to be counted in sil- ver{ nevertheless, how we use our money may help to determine the de- gree of success that we achieve, Differences Our FoodSupply (By John Atkins, Farmer -Journalist) No. 3—THEY ARE BOTH WRONG City people who have never lived on farina, and farm people who have never lived in cities, have queer ideas about each other. Town people are more fortunate. They. know farm people and farm people know them. They understand each other. They attend the same churches, belong to the same lodges and meet and work together in the Red Cross and other patriotic and charitable organizations. They live and work together and trade with each other pensonaily. . There would be no farm problem such as we haye today if town and country people had been left to solve it. But Canada has grown some big hungry cities and the people in these cities have a lot more to say about national politics than they ought to have. They have organizations for everything and these organizations are so busy promoting their own in- terests with -governments that they carry a great deal more weight than their size and importance . warrants. Town and farm people are just wak- ing up to the fact that they need to be heard at Ottawa, too, if everyone is to get a square deal. "The squeaking wheel gets the most grease" is an old farm axiom that seems to have been adopted -by some of those Who are 'heard above the din of war in the offices of government. Organizations have changed the business of democratic government until the civil services seem to be di- vided between the takers -in and the givers -out. The duty of the takers -in appears to be,to take from those who protest the least and the duty of the givers -out to give to those who yell the loudest. In the past, city people have asked too much from governments and have received too much. Rural people have asked for little, protested too little, and have lost out to the cities. They .have both been wrong. All have been Harmed. 'Today farmers are organiz- ed across Canada and town people are giving their sympathetic support to the ,Canadian Federation of Agri- culture in the sure knowledge that whatever is done to restore the bal- ance between farm and urban earn- ings—will benefit every town in Can- ada—every person in Canada. Even in personal impressions, which make or mar good -will, city and farni people who do not know each other's problems are growing apart to their common harm. City people who do not know fai m life make farm people mad. They think farm people are to be pitied— that it is too bad that farmers have to work so .hard for so little compar- ed with their high city earnings. Something ought to be done about ;t, they think—something like holding a few bridge parties, or a tag day, to help farmers. They are surprised and hurt when farmers blow up and demand justice and fair play. All that farm people want is fair The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readi ness to fall into error, but In their readiness to• acknowledge these inev stable 1aiSe0. 1tnriey;.

Farmers must have enough to pay their cost of production and to carry on. They are beginning •to' get it and when food prices get up in line with city earnings there will be a sound balance between city ands, coun- try in Canada. Maximum food pro- duction will then be attained because agriculture's fair share of war work- ers will help to produce war food. It is a mistake to look for war prosperity. There will be shortages of civilian goods, particularly luxur- ies. There are already shortages of some .foods, but we can produce our peeks in munitions and foods if a pro- per balance is struck between urban and farm earnings.
