The weather- man, after providing a couple of springlike days, played a dismal trick, even though it was April Fool's Day. It was dull on Saturday, buteven the most optimistic had their hopes of spring dashed .when sheets of wet snow made highways and streets a soggy mess. By early evening the snow was being driven before a wind of proportions that gave every indi- cation of a real blizzard. It was a good time to be in the house before a fireplace. An overcast Sunday could not al- together eliminate a stubborn belief that it should be Spring, and must be Spring. It was not too cold to pre- vent the. sap rising among the Maples. But again the optimistic were fooled. A driving rain was fol- lowed by more wet, heavy snow. There is no doubt about it. The new spring hats and topcoats may be out at Easter, but certainly not be- fore. • A Fine History Writing in the Fergus News -Re- cord, Dr. Hugh Templin, himself a well-known writer and student of the history of the Fergus district, found the late Professor Brenton Kerr's "From Scotland to Huron—A History of the Kerr Family," the fin- est history of an Ontario family that he had seen. The book , was issued shortly before Professor Kerr's death some . months ago. In his review, Dr. Templin says in part: "We do not recall Professor Kerr, and we aren't familiar with the Kerr family of the Seaforth dis- trict, but we think this is the finest history of an Ontario family that we have seen. That is partly due to the intimate style of writing, which gives so many unimportant little details that the reader comes to feel that he knew these people, even the ones who died before he was born. In addition, the book has splendid.illustrations, including maps of the parts of Scot- land and Huron County, which figure in the. narrative. To complete the book there are pictures of most of the persons mentioned in it. "Professor Kerr started his family history in the proper place, by going back to Dunipace, in Scotland, and looking over the ground and search- ing out family records himself. He begins with the life of Alexander Kerr, born in 178 and died in 1852, his wife, Janet Reid, whom he mar- ried in 1819, and their family, most of whom came to Canada. There is a tremendous amount of information in this book about how the pioneers lived in Huron, what they did and why, tracing the families down through the generations to the pre- sent. Finally, the back of the book contains many family records and letters. The author did a fine job for the Kerr Family. He also preserved a -priceless bit of early Western On- tario history. "Incidentally, John Kerr, leaving ;a'ltpans, Dunipace, Scotland, in 1852, carried with him a letter for :,john Morris, a farmer at Fergus." s' ermanent Licenses Now that the annual rush to ob- Yain new car licenses is over for this ear, there is time to give some h'ottght to the use of permanent tis. The difficulties which motor- nese every year as they battle Pty . bolts and new plates will 4heir n'hindb, bole the problem las been discussed in various prov- inces, but until this year no action was taken." However, British Colum- bia has now announced a dedsiorx to use five-year lieenSe plates On motor vehicles. While fiM details of the scheme are not yet available, the 200,000 drivers of that Province are hopeful that it will not be long be- fore they. can enjoy the benefits of permanent plates.' Of course there will be many prob- lems and details to work out, particu- larly those having to do with some ready means of determining whether the license fee for a particular year has been paid. This, however, should_ not be an insurmountable problem, since it has been overcome in other places. In any event, the advantag- es of permanent plates as opposed to the present system of annual plates, would seem to be sufficiently great to justify a thorough investigation and test by the responsible authorities. • From Farm to City There has always been heard com- plaint that attractions of the cities result in young Canadians leaving the farm. Probably the complaint is well founded. Certainly from the time cities were founded they have gained much of their population from the town, village and farm. It is from this movement that have de- veloped the large cities, for it is doubtful that urban birth rates are ever high enough to do much more than offset urban deaths and remov= ais. Discussing the problem, the "Printed Word" points out that "urban growth does not necessarily connote rural depopulation, although during wartime booms the number of young men and women who for- sake the family farms may be un- duly large. Sociologists have had some cause for worry in recent years over the increasing age level of the farmers who have remained on the land. If the farming population be- came to& old for effective farming there would be a serious condition for Canada." A new trend is seen when it goes on to suggest that "almost unnoticed is the reverse movement of popula- tion now that the wartime boom is over. The love of the lands seems to be hereditary even in Canadians two or three generations removed from the farm. Some city dwellers, and not only those of the `gentleman - farmer' class, begin their return by buying a country place for week- ends, introducing their children gra- dually to the work and the satisfac- tions of the farm. Before long, they find they are spending more and more of their time in rural sur- roundings, andeventually they de- sert the city. "It may be that families like these will solve the problem of rural de- population. The city children, know- ing that they have improved their lives by going to the country, should• not be so keen on taking a factory or office job as the farm boy or girl whose lives have been ruled by the needs of the land and the farm ani- mals. "Migration from farm to city may be expected to continue, since the younger generation must discover for themselves, without help or ad- vice from their elders, where the good life is to be found. But there is hope that some of the younger gen- eration from the farms, seeing their contemporaries gladly forsaking the city, may decide that happiness is still to be found on the farm." • WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY: Need Right Start (The Leamington Post and News) More failures in the world can be traced to a poor start than to abso- lute incompetence on the part of the individual. In every walk of life there are thousands of men and women who cannot succeed because they are trying to do something for which they are not fitted. They waste their lives either because they will not quit, vainly hoping that if they keep on plodding and plugging they', will win, or because they know riot which way to turn. Their plight " is some- thing which must be -given increased attention by educational and social aged° es, slily `R..i. Dattentore mist . (Article No, x)'" I bare been talking about Han- nab's. barn. 'Mr, hlafi h, had a flock of splendid Southdown sheep. They were truly beautiful sheets The daddy of the fipple, a hand- some, aristocratic-loolting ram, took particular pleasure in bunting me every chance he got, Once I was stooping over the trough out in the yard, giving them salt (and that ram sure needed, salt -he was getting entirely too fresh) when Sir James tiptoed up behind me and bunted me over that, trough, sending me almost to the middle of McKillop. Townahip....I: told, that ram exactly what I •thougtht'of him and all his ancestors. He never ba -ed .a word! Just looked sheep- ish! One fall time the sheep were ex- hibited at various Fall Fairs. Mr. Hannah and I took a wagon load of perhaps a dozen sheep to the Exe- tair Fair. ° There they took many prizes, and I was might proud of the red •and blue prize cards tack- ed on the sides of the wagon box. We then drove from Exeter to Goderich, where more red and blue cards were accumulated. Then Mr. Hannah decided to go home by train, leaving me to drive the team with the sheep back to the Han- nah farm.. I did so, safely. I won- der if there are many boys nowa- days, ten years of age, a faiimer would trust a fine team and a valu- able lot of sheep to his sole care? I was the proudest boy in Huron County. There were no paved roads in those drays. I carefully guided my load down the Iong Holmesville and Stapleton hills, and felt as important as Joe Stalin or John L. Lewis. I had left in the early forenoon, and along about two o'clock I got desperately hungry. There was a roadside tavern just east of Staple- ton, and I drove in. I had no money, but I was hungry. I told the genial proprietor who I was, who owned the team and sheep, that I had no money, and that I, was hungry. Would. he charge it to Mr. Hannah? He cheerfully agreed to, and in a few minutes I was enjoying a fine dinner. Meals in those days were 25 cents. If the bill was ever sent in, I never knew. It worked. I am always willing to try anything once, Before I get too far away from Hannah's stables, I want to tell you about Sorrel Billy.. This was a handsome, light driving horse us- ed mainly for buggy driving. Billy and I were great friends. I curry- combed and brushed him till his silken yellow coat shone like gold. We loved each other. Seven or eight years later I was in Lincoln, Nebraska, working on the Nebraska. State Journal. Lin- coln is the capital of the State. It was the period when buyers from the Canadian West and the Mid - Western States were coming to Western Ontario, buying up hors- es. They 'bought many in Tucker- smith. uckersmith. One day, standing at She curb on Lincoln's main street, I heard someone say: "Here comes. a drove of 'Canadian horses." They had just been unloaded' from' the train. The words 'Canadian hors- es' got my attention at.once, and I observed them closely as they passed by. Suddenly I exclaimed, right out loud, excitedly: "Why, there's Sorrel Billy." Billy: heard' my voice, looked toward me, threw back his head and whinnied loud, ly. I ran outbeside 'him on the street, and walked along with him. He put his head down, Tubbed his face against mine, nuzzled my cheeks witla his soft, velvety lips, and continued. a low whinny. When I had' to leave him at a turn of the street, he looked back over his shoulder and watched me as lord as l was .in sight. The tears rolled down my face, to the astonishment of the by- standers. But I didn't care. I had an awful fit of nostalgia — home- sickness for Tuekersmith, and all the poignant memories that sweet animal evoked. How smart of him to recognize me after all that time. Didn't' I 'say that animals were en- dowed with brains and reasoning powers? It broke my heart to" think what Billy's subsequent fate might be with new owners on the Nebraska plains—Billy who when I knew him back home was never required to do any heavier work than draw a rubber -tired buggy. The thought that Billy might be i11 - treated caused me many unhappy thoughts. Perhaps some of you remember the yoke of oxen days, antedating the horse and buggy days? Many of the farmers 'round about in my early boyhood were still using ox- en. They were wise. stupid, slow, stumbling beasts, but they got there just the same. In breaking up the new virgin country of the Huron Tract, horses wouldn't have been nearly so efficient es the heavy ox. Very rarely one rebelled. and balked. They tell of a good old Quaker farmer in East Elgin who was still using oxen for ploughing. Of course they bore the universal name for. oxen of "Buck" and "Dandy." One day things weren't going, so well with the ploughing. T,he plow struck stumps and roots, and the Quaker got somewhat flus- teredr--for a Quaker. Then, Buck, the furrow ox, got fed up with drawing the heaviest part of the load, and balked. He stubbornly refused to budge, .At laat the good Quaker, thoroughly exasperated, grabbed Buck firmly by the tail and said, through .gritted teeth: "Buck, I will not beat thee, and will not cure thee but," he said, giving the tail as vicious twist, "I'll twist thy damned tail off!" I wonder ,how many boys of the Seaforth High School know just what "Haw" and "Gee" means? Not many, in these days, I venture to say. And yet, the 'lowly ox, when told to "haw," turned obedi- ently at once to the left, and when told to "gee" turned to the right. Horses, too, farm horses at least, know they are expected to side- step to the left or right when "gee - hawed." And not to be outdone by oxen or horses, I'll prove that I know what "Whoa" means by stopping right here. Huron Federation of Agriculture Farm News A Safety -First Farm Project Farm tractors, among the most useful pieces of equipment to farmers, can easily be among the most dangerous, unless skilfully driven and kept in tip-top mech- anical condition. Surveys of acci- dents and fires on farms shoal that tractors rank quite high as causes. This gives point to one of the projects of the Boys' Clubs. in Ontario — a tractor maintenance n e club. These clubs completed their first season with ,,tractor driving competitions during the recent convention week at the Royal Winter Fair buildings at Toronto. The best drivers from thirty-two counties competed for the provin- cial championship, which was car- ried off by Donald Steckle of Es- sex County. The competition was not one to be undertaken lightly, Contestants raced against time to hook on to a wagon, mount their tractors, drive within six inches of a plat- form, load two milk cans, negoti- ate a. few sharp turns without touching obstructions, unload again and finally back the wagon into a "shed" without material damage. But the contest was not all driving, Each contestant wrote an examination, and tried to id.en`ify fifteen defects on a tractor. These tractor tests are a devel- opment of a newly -formed junior equipment to emphasize m,ainten- an'ee for the most efficient and safe use. Fifty-nine local clubs and over 601) contestants took part in the first year of the enterprise. A similar project will be a most active part of the work of Boys' Clubs in Manitoba this year, and, club members inSaskatchewan are showing a keen interest in organ- izing equipment projects and trac- tor tests. With the ever increasing mech- anization of farm equipment, the hazards of fire and accident are increased too. A Boys' Club pro- ject that can educate and guard against these, is a 'safety -first pre - gram of real importance. Wireworm damage can be reduc- ed by providing a firm, moist seed bed, by usinr good seed, seeding not over three Inches deep, fo11o';tr- ed by heavy packing. Spring Work in the Garden It Will soon be time to tidy i1 the f(awer garden. Any dead etelpfk of perennials in the borders should be cut off at the base and dead. annual plants pulled up by the roots. A tight raking of the bed may be made. but go carefully so that tips of bulbs just below the surface of the soil are not damag- ed. As the weather becomes warm- er, a more thorough raking or light digging between plants may be done. In the rose garden some of the outer covering on the bushes should be moved as soon as the weather gets warm, and the re- mainder of the mulch at intervals of a few days. It is a -mistake, to uncover the bushes too early as the stems may he injured by dry- ing winds before the roots become active. Pruning the bushes can be delayed until the leaf buds show signs of growth. All damaged wood should be cut out and stems pruned to a good strong bud. The mangel appears to be one of the oldest of cultivated crops' and can be traced back to 2000 B.C. An old plate found in an old Egyptian tomb represents a labor- er placing a large root or mangel on a table as a sacrifice. Spring Care Of Lawns A little ewtra attention to the garden lawn in the early spring will often improve its appearance throughout the year. As soon as it is reasonably dry from winter snow, it should be well raked with a bamboo or flexible steel grass rake. A garden rake should be avoided as it is too drastic a treatment and tends to tear up the roots. Delay the raking if the ground is found to be so soft that footmarks are noticeable; high heels in particu will leave de- pressions whic&-fiaay remain all summer. Rolling is not as essen.tiai as many people think, and, is neces- sary only ih those regions where heaving results from the action of frost. Although rolling is not us- ually harmful on Iight soils, it causes heavier soils to compact, a condition detrimental to the growth of grass, A more effective and desirable method of smoothing sonar! depressions in'. ,the "'lavt~n is top -dressing.
