POLLING IN Nh
MAN CONTEST
Two New Members . Are
Elected in Wednes-
day Voting.
Slippery roads and the first snow
of the season combined to reduce
the vote in Seaforth Wednesday to
60.7 per cent of those eligible. In
the last municipal election in Sea -
forth two years ago, 75 per cent
of the electors voted. First re-
turns came from Polls 5 and 6
shortly 'before 7 o'clock,
Voters recognized the manner in
which Councillor E. H. Close, for
two years ohairman of the Street
Committee, had carried out a dif-
ficult task, when they returned
him for another year at the head
of the poll. He received 430 votes
and made a strong run at all three
polling stations.
B. F. Christie, who headed the
poll two years ago, and who has
headed the Fite and Water Com-
mittees of council, was in second
place, with 426 votes. He was top
candidate in 3, 4, 5 and 6 polls.
Two new councillors were elect-
ed. James A. Stewart, being in
third place with 384 votes, and
Norman Scoins, in fifth place with
347 votes.
Dr. E. A. McMaster, in fourth
position with 363 votes, was re-
elected for his third term, as was
W. A. Ross, in sixth place with
341 votes.
Voters in Polls 1 and 2 turned
out 62.9 per cent strong to make
the best showing, while those in
Divisions 3 and 4 showed the least
interest, when only 58 per cent
voted.
Confusing the municipal election
with provincial contests, some
voters arrived at the polls too.late
to cast their ballots. The polls
closed at 5 p.m.
Voting took place at polling
booths located at the Carnegie Lib-
rary, Cardno's store and Seaforth
Motors. Officials in charge of the.
eiection included: D. H. Wilson,
returning officer; C. A. Barber, J.
A. Cardno and H. Trapnell•„ deputy
returning officers; and S. P. Bell,

Warns Of Danger Of
Lessening Soil Fertility
Huron - Perth Shorthorn
Club Names Dr. M. W.
Stapleton First Vice -
President.
Cattle producers should give
serious consideration to the dwind-
ling fertility of soil, Prof. R. G.
Knox told- the annual meeting of
the Perth -Huron Shorthorn Club
at Clinton Wednesday. Beef ani-
mals are not getting the food
from an acre of pasture that they
were getting from the same land
at theen f the 19th century,
said th� raker, why?cl of
the ar. t1\h>eaieiry department
at the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege, Guelph.
"This province has been exploit-
ed to a considerable extent so far
es soil fertility goes," Prof. Knox
told his audience of Shorthorn
breeders. "We are not harvesting
the crops that they did in 1885, or
in 1900, or in 1910. We are not
harvesting the hay, and . we are
not gettlnr the pounds of beef
off our pastures,"
The acreage of hay and pasture
in Ontariq reached its peal( about.
1923, said 'Prof, Knox, and has been
dwindling since. Ontario farms
carried virtually as many cattle in
1907 as they do how; Ontario pas
tures were carrying 1,80.0,000 sheep
in 1885„ and are feeding only 500,-
000
00;000 now; the hog population was
as great 40 years ago as it is now,
even though hogs were then fedi
up to 300 pounds, and are now us-
ually marketed at about 200
pounds.
There are many pastures in
Western Ontario that have deteri-
orated into thorn -patches, and
many in Eastern Ontario that now
produce chiefly devil's paint -brush,
Prof. Knox asserted. "If we don't
look after our rolls, Nattire will
provide a coveaing of some kind."
"There are thousands of acres
in Old Ontario," he continued,
"that don't lend themselves to
dairy farming, IJnfortunatelyi

am only getting one Christmas
present, and that's for you, as
there isn't much in the stores over
here to buy. I sent about 30 Christ-
mas cards the other day to remind
some of my friends that I'm still
thinking of them.
We bave a poor team in Perth
this year, as we have only oi?two
of our past 14 games. We tiedfour
of them though. I don't know what
is the matter with the teats, but
we just can't win. There are two
new players coming up from Eng-
land to join our team, to that
means there will be two of us go-
ing home. I don't think it will be,
me, but one can never tell. I'm
third in the scoring for aur team.
There is going to be is big write-
up in the program about me next
week, so I will send you one,
It has been raining quite a bit
over hem -lately and I haven't hair' -much chance to go golfing, al-
though I did get out to Blairgow-
rie golf course the other day. It
is a. championship course and is
really nice. Bobby Locke, the.
famous South African, was out
playing on it in the summertime.
It is about 20 miles from Perth,
and on the road back we passed a
famous hedge of beech trees.
These beech trees are supposed to
be about 200 years old, and when
you look at it from the end it just
looks , like a high wall about 80
rods long.
Nov- 27: I was up to Dundee on
Sunday with Russ Murphy, one'ol
the players. He used to play for.
Dundee, so be knows the city pret-
ty
re(ty well and he was showing me
the sights. You probably have
heard that famous song about The
Overgate. It 'goes something like
this: "As I was walking down the
Overgate, I met wee Johnny Sea-
bie," and so on.
We played three games this
week and lost two and tied one -
not a very good average, is it? I
got two goals and three assist in
the three games. I got a wattle
of programs at the rink last night
with my life history in it, and I
am going to send one to yell. It
is a poor picture, but it will littee
to do. There may be a few ,little
fibs In the write-up, but we cat,'(
help that.
