And The Floods -Came If seasons run in cycles, it would appear, that possibly this winter and spring ushered in a new era. After a decade of mild winters, this year we had one of,the old-fashioned kind that older people are so fond of reminiscing over. At least) we had much more snow than in many years' and . with fewer breaks in the wea- ther. Spring did not even appear to be just around the corner until last week. After the blizzard of ten- days ago, there were some country roads in this district that were . not opened until the end of last week, and then they,were but trenches with piles of snow on each side that reached up over the car tops. On Good Friday it looked very much as if it would take at least three weeks more be- fore motor traffic would have a free run on these roads, while the snow on many concession roads looked as if it would last until the end of May. F7 -: But spring came in, with a rush on r': iday and Saturday. The ice went out of the creeks and rivers, and al- though much of the snow disappear- ed as if by magic, the sudden break- up created much more water than there was an outlet for. Every pond, creek and river, regardless of size, over -ran.. their.... banks in. , the _ course' _ .. of a few hours, causing floods the like of which old-timers like to talk about too. Perhaps they were not as bad as many we have, heard about in earlier days in this immediate district, but they were certainly , bad enough to raise the fears of the . taxpayers. Several bridges of considerable -size were - carriedaway,or upended, and. will have to be rebuilt or new ones put in their places, while in addition, the damage to roads and highways will run into many thousands of dol- lars. But even at that, Nature made"' a quicker, better and cheaper job of snow removal than all the expensive -machinery of towns, townships and' county combined. Should Mabe Street Names Visible At different times in recent months strangers 'to this town have written 'The Expositor calling attention to the difficulty they have experienced in finding street dames. And some of these letters have been, published. It is not a new complaint, as the same . complaint is registered' against . almost every town in Western On- tario. But the complaint is certainly justified. ,The streets of all towns are named, and these names and their lo- cation are generally, familiar to the average • citizen. Consequently, • he has no trouble in finding his way about. : But to.. . tell „a. stranger that . John Doe lives across the road from John White °on sucli and such a street does not impart much information to a stranger, particularly so when even if he' drove through every street in the. town, he wouldn't encounter .a single street._ sign to identify that street. This common complaint is one which should not exist. And as far. as Se,iforth is concerned it won't ex- ist for long in view of council's action at a recent meeting when . the Street Committee ;was instructed to review the entire matter of proper street signs and to bring in a recommenda- tion and estimate. This is now be - ....in -worked outby the Street Com- mittee and ,it is anticipated, will be presented to council at an early meeting. g. That is the proper proce- dure, and once council has before it the committee's report there' will be no ;,need: for further delay because the council of every town or village, is empowered to' pass .a,'by-law "for ,Ithcitig the names at street corners on ° public .or private property," anc r Iso or nwAiberiug:, the buildings ndlots :;long the highways and for a Xing numbers tQ the buildiug0 and for charging the owner or oeeu- pant -with the expense incidentto the numbering of his building or lot." Every street in Seaforth has a name/ and even if the houses are not numbered, thename of the street should be so located" and displayed that it _will give • guidance to all strangers, not only in the daytime, but at night as well. • Dampish Britain The people of Great Britain have suffered, possibly,, the most severe ' winter, the most rains and theworst floods in their history. Millions of dollars of damage has been done to the land and crops, as well as millions of dollars additional damage has been suffered by property , owners' and municipal governments as a re- sult' of these' floods. --Rut the British are an amazing people, who possess an unconquer- able spirit. And they seem to be tak- ing the weather disasters, like the nnor, n their stride. At least they are ying too much about it, and not much of that is by way of complaint: It was always that way. One hun- dred years ago Ralph Waldo .. Emer- son, the great American writer, on his first visit to England, had this to say: First he apologized for eating their food "in this time of gloom and commercial ' disaster, of affliction and beggary." In the Midlands, "the night and the day are too nearly of a color, the fine soot or blacks dark- en the day, give white sheep the col- or of black sheep, discolor the human saliva, contaminate 'the air, poison many plants, and corrode the"monu- merits and buildings." In that year, England; Emerson said, was "a -cold, foggy and mourn- ful country, where nothing . grew well in the open air, but r obust men and virtuous women, and these of a wonderful fibre and endurance, that their best parts were slowly reveal- ed.; their virtues did not come out until they quarreled; they did not strike twelve the first time ; good lovers;' good haters, and you could know little about them till you had seen them long, . and little good of them till you had seen them in action; that in prosperity they were moody and dampish, but in. adversity ' they were grand." "England," Emerson said, "sees a little better in a cloudy day, and in ' ) i storm of battle and calamity she has a secret vigor and a pulse Iike a can- non." It is . quite evident that a century has not changed the English wea- ther, nor has it changed the weather of the British people's spirit. • How About Ontario? "Anything smaller?" asked. Bert Hershey, toll collector on the Mis- souri River bridge at Nebraska City on. April 3rd, after a motorist hand- ed shim a $10 bill. "Don't you know," the motorist replied, "that farmers don't, have anything smaller than $10 bills these days!" . The collectorr took the bill and gave.:. thefarmer his •change. What apo°ut our Ontario farmers?; Can't he go his American cousin just one better? We think he might at. that, "because we have seen an un- precedently large number of $20 bills in the hands of our Ontario farmers in recent months. We know, because the sight of a $20 bill in a weekly newspaper office is 'something that is not soon forgotten. • Mrs. O'Learp's Cow If Mrs. O'Leary's cow actually set offthe great Chicago fire in 1871 by kicking over a lantern, she has cer- tainly caused Uncle Sam no end of bookkeeping trouble. The United States T'reasury in re-: porting the value of paper currency in circulation , in February last at $26,927,777,931, disclosed . that for 76 years it has carried on the ,books an even' $1,000,000 in bills) of unstated denomination, marked up as "un - destroyed." The' Department believes bills in that amount- were destroyed in the Chicago fire when a Treasury sub- station burned. But since it is not definitely known, the amount still is carried -on the books. fl� ears one, leteereeting items picked Brom. 'The Esposito of $ft7. end tweeter ve learn ago.

Huron Federation Of A riculture--FarmNews' Useful Hints For Shearing Sheep, With the wool harvest at hand "a few hints on how to remove the clip may be 'helpful, ' Some ,sheep raisers are inclined .to view the wool returns from the flock as of little consequence and hardly worth its removal from the sheep. Canada consumed) in 1946. approxi- mately 0O million pounds of grease or fleece wool, worth about $23, million dollars. Canada's annual production of grease and pulled wools approxi- mate 18 million pound's, leaving 72 million pounds to •be. imported Prom other sheep growing countries of the world. Canada has a market at a world value for the wool of 12,857,142 sheep or practically four "times its present sheep population. As a means of increasing yield or profit from theflock great care should be shown in the 'removal of the wool clips.' In shearing sheep the follow- ing points should be observed: Pro- vide an extremely clean place 'in which to shear. Shear only when wool is dry; never when damp or wet. Keep the holding pen for the sheep clean and free of droppings) 'which may discolor the wooL Be gen- tle in handling the sheep. Set the sheep' on its rump. ' Begin shearing on brisket, then belly, crutch, right rear leg, left rear 'leg and over left side. of rump, Fore- head next, then brisket to jaw, and over back of head:. Now clean the left front leg, then lowering the .sheep on its back begin at rear left flank and shear to front left' flank or length- wise of the body, carry on this, stroke until just over centre of the back. Raise the sheep and finish right side by shearing from 'the ,spine to 'front of neck following, down over tete right front leg, then to belly, rear right leg and *nisei at the rump. The technique is simple and may. be done with' com- fort to both shearer and; sheep. Try .and avoid second cuts. Make a smoothy job; it adds value to the clip. ' e Egg ` Inspection Under Dominion Regulations, sup- ported by ' ,provincial legislation to cover the fields of purely provincial ,jurisdiction, it is required that all eggsbought and sold in Canada must be handled on a basis. of grade. A•11 grading is according to the Canadian Standard Egg Grades and is d'4ne on- ly) in Registered Egg Grading Stations with the single exception that a .pro- ducer may grade his own eggs for sale. • I,t is the function of the staff of the Poultry Products Inspection Ser- i/ice, Dopjnion Department of Agri- culture, to check and supervise grad .ing stations, including graded retirees to producers, to check the. grading of eggs as sold) in wholesale and retail channels, and to inspect and) issue 'grade certificates for eggs roving in Carlota between' provinces or to ex- port markets. The fact that Canada has a, completely established system of egg grading and 'egg marketing greatly facilitated, the shipment of eggs. to Britain during the war and sines then.

The Editor, The Hrinen eepesitor: ' Dear Sir:' About ,two weeks ago 11 read with ?mirk interest in the 'Free" Press a letter by Murray L, Hopper,: under the above -title;" It was in ,ani sewer to a letter written by a minis- ter, I did not see the first letter, but ' , M. i oppor etaten the: wrlter, hard- put/ the onus of empty churches on the laymen. Mr.: Hopper is surely correct when, he. states that the ,Christian Church was at its, beat at the origin when at Pentecost ,the . 120 members in the upper ' room were all filled .with the , Holy Spirit and were fe8,rless in their, witness, of faith in the Risen Christ.'. They were accused of being 'dirunk, but Peter rose to the .occasion "and stated , that this Spiritllling was promised by the Prophet Tael. Fear feel upon alt, and great grace was in them all. Persecution soon followed,. and many were scattered abroad who went and there preached) the Gospel. Great 'signs and) wonders were wrought by the Apostles. Saul of Tarsus had a ddvhle call -to go and preach, and he says, "I was not dis- obedient "tee the.heaventy. vision." ' This spiritual 'oonddtion continued; for'about 300 years, when th,e Roman Empire was well reached by the Gos- pel. Christ, and five:). nth t time on _ he Constantine the Church seemed to .,t ,ake on worldly things and lost their true witness, and for• 1100 years the •Church had a checkered expetience, Wycliffe, Huss and Jerome of Prague were men' which held up the,. torch of life and ,then Martin Luther, with his illumination of faith' in Christ, became • the centre of the great Reformation. Knox in Scotland and Wesley and: Whitfield did much to call men to re- pentance and faith. We do not hear .of any empty churches under Johnathan Edwards; Finney, Moody'or Billy Sunday. Mr. Hopper has some fine things to sayin his letter, but we are sorry to . see.' him drop entirely faith in Chris- tianity, and ridicules the thought of conversion; or a changed heart, and asks us to accept the man-made'thome of 'man know thyself." I fear he does not know the: first principles of the Christian faith, Our great founder of Christianity says: "Except ye be con- verted onverted ye cannot see the kingdom. of heaven," (Matt. 18:3-4). Now as to tike theme, "Man, 'know theyself," Paul has "a splendid answer;.

Clean nest material is the. only way to prevent .staining. In the laying , house no dirty litter should be allowed, and frequent col lection.of eggs avoids dirt caused by birds walking over or soiling other eggs already in the nest. The point is to keep eggs clean and avoid, the ne- cessity and labor in cleaning them: Canada has •attained a notable repu- tation on the British market for clean eggs. . • Have Given Farmers Millions.of. Trees Free trees are supplied to farmers in the Prairie Provinces, for shelter - belt planting by the Dominion Forest;, Nursery Stations at Indian Head and Sutherland, Sask. These trees are grown and distributed, by, th,e Stations., Broadleaf trees are supplied free of charge, while a small charge is ,made for evergreen trees, the planters pay- ing express charges 'on shipment. Up to and including the .Spring of 1946, over 200 millions of broadleaf trees have been distributed to more than 4,000 planters every year, and prec- -tically five millions • of evergreen trees to more than 800 planters 'an- nually. For the most part, the Forest Nurs- ery Stations and the planters have concentrated attention .on establish - ling 'farm and home shelter belts for the purpose of providing protection to ,people, •livestock; .gardens and buil& ings, bile during the past 15 years many farmers. have:gieen some ,atten- tion ttention to planting field shelterbeds for the purpose of improving conditions for crops •growler -under field condi- tions., Full information on the subject is given in publication 785 on "Planning and Planting Fieldhelterbelts" by -John Walker, Superintendent, Forest Nursery Station, Indian.

In esellfilled churches we se'e 'men filled with the' Spirit and are fearless to speak the truth, while in some others we are afraid that the pastors fear man mere than God, our Father, and preach hall truths and soft-pedal on the conse- quences of sin, and are not faithful to. the . solemn challenge they ;received) at ordination, and fail to follow' the teachings of Christ.
