During the war she was busily engaged in knitting for the Red Cross and knitted over fifty pairs of socks, in addition to sweaters, etc. She has crocheted four beautiful bedspreads in the past twenty-five years. Mrs. Lammie is active about the house and is able to prepare the meals and do light housework to help her daughter, Greta, and still knits and does, some crocheting. An active member of the United Church, she is a life member of the Women's Missionary Society.

Stewart, of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture Execu- tive, has compiled the following 15 points that might be of assistance to farmers when filling out their income tax forms for 1950: 1. You may include as an ex- pense for wages, an amount up to 5500.00 paid to a dependent for use- ful work without affecting the us- ual dependent allowance. 2. You may pay a child under 21 up to $1,000.00 for useful work without including the value of room and board and therefore without making the child taxable. You may not also claim dependent allowance. 3. Where amounts are claimed to be paid to children for useful work done, it must be paid. If not, it may get you into trouble later. 4. Depreciation may now be claimed at any rate up to the maxi- mum quoted in the Guide. Calcu- late your income without deprecia- tibn first and don't claim more than you have taxable income to 'cover. 5. Study the new method of cal- culating depreciation. It'' is op- tional and has some advantages, but also some disadvantages. Don't change until you feel it to be to your advantage. 6. Depletion allowance on wood - lots is new this year. If you have sales from your woodlot, don't miss this new allowance, 7. Depreciation is now allowed on tile drain installations. It is not necessary that it be .a new drainage system since no allow- ance has been- allowed previously. 8. To the extent that it can be shown that a new asset such as a bridge, fence, drain. etc., is a re- placement, to that extent it may be claimed as a repair and an ex- pense. 9. Twenty-five per cent of the farm home is recognized as an of- fice. You may charge 25 per cent of all repairs and depreciation on 25 per cent of the cost of the home, Full repairs and depreciation may be claimed on the hired man's residence. 10. If you have filed on time for four years, you may now average your income for the past five years if it is to your advantage. 11. If you have a breeding herd of livestock, don't fail to secure the directive and application form for a basic herd from your District Of- fice. It must be applied for at least 30 days before a sale and it is much more satisfactorily done be- fore there is an estate to settle. 12. Get the Farmer's Guide for the preparation of 1950 income tax returns from your Post Office. Be sure it is for the right year. 13. Be sure to read the Guide. 14. District office officials area willing and anxidus to help you, without charge. Don't hesitate to consult them. 15. If for any reason you feel that you are not being fairly 'treat- ed, considering the circumstances, consult your own organization, the Federation of Agriculture. You will not only be helping yourself, if we can straighten up inequitable or ir- regular practice with your assist- ance, it will help every other farm- er who may have a similar prob- lem. At the March directors' meeting of the Huron. County Federation of Agriculture, held in Clinton on. March 20, a resolution was passed and forwarded to the Ontario De- partment of Highways, asking that. gas tag; refunds be paid within 60 days of receipt of application. it. was also suggested that. the De- partment send the farmer a receipt stating that. the application has been received at the Department of Highways office. In some eas- es a farmer bas had to wait six months before receiving- payment for his rebate on tractor gas used In doing farm work. When we owe the Government money It is paid promptl—or else.

The routes recommended in ,,a circular published by the executive committee of the North West ' Emi- gration ,Society and reprinted in The Huron Expositor, 26 May, 1871, were as follows: 1. Toronto to Coll.iugwood, via the Northern Railway; to Duluth by steamer; to St. Paul by rail; to Benson by the St. Paul and North- ern Pacific Railway; to Twenty- five Mile Point on Red River by stage and from there to Fort Garry Eby steamer, down the Red River. 2. Toronto to Collingwood, as above; to Fort William' by the same steamers as above; to Shebandow- an forty miles by wagon road, and from there by boats and steamers to the North West angle of the Lake of the Woods; then over a wagon road to Fort Garry, a dis- tance of between 90 and 100 miles. 3. The same as the first route to Duluth; to St. Paul and St. Cloud. by rail; across country in wagons to Pembina, and from that point 60 miles by road to Fort Garry. 4. Toronto to St. Paul and Ben, son by rail, via Detroit and Mil- waukee; by team and coach to Twenty -Five Mile Point, and from there by steamer to Fort Garry. The first route was the most ex- peditious, eleven days from Toron- to. Other advantages were that goods could be sent through in bond by Hill, Griggs & Co.; and travellers had shelter throughout the journey and did not have to camp out. Nor were the charges much higher than those on. other routes. National reasons made the second route attractive to some travellers, but the projected steam- ers and shelters were not complet- ed, and the transport of cattle and bulky freight was out of the ques- tion. This was the route for young unencumbered men. The third route was the best for taking live- stock, as it avoided lengthy rail travel and cattle could be driven from St. Paul or St. Cloud to Fort Garry. The fourth route was popu- lar with those who did not wish to travel by water. The North West Emigration Aid Society estimated that a family re- quired not less than $500 •to emi- grate, including equipment taken, while a single man might get along very well with from $200 to $250. The reasons behdrrd the migration probably were as numerous as the migrants themselves. But, if the contemporary newspapers are to be believed, they do not seem to have been a poverty-stricken group of transients moving away from an unfriendly atmosphere and failure. A correspondent to The Huron Ex- positor, 26 May, 1871, referred to the 'departure of some of the old- est and best citizens of this dis- trict.' The account of the sailing of the Keweenaw from Goderich for Duluth, with 73 passengers, in the same issue, showed that the migrants had 26 spans of horses and 26 heavy wagons, 'all loaded to overflowing,' besides a number of buggies, a reaping machine, etc. On 12 May, 1871, the same news- paper reported that a firm in Strathroy had sold two combined reapers and mowers to parties who intended to take them to Manitoba. The Manitoban, 15 July, 1871, not- ed the arrival of L. Hayward, of Mitchell. He bad formerly been of the Royal Canadian Bank, Strat- ford. When he left Mitchell 'he was the recipient of a very gratify- ing demonstration from his numer- ous friends.' Examples of appar- ently well to-do settlers could be multiplied. Perhaps the writer to The Huron Expositor, 26 May, quoted above, described these peo- ple best when he called them 'har- dy emigrants who are leaving home and friends, in the hope of bettering their circumstances in the North West.' Later, on 2 June, The Huron Ex- positor came back to the subject, 'It would also seem that many of those who have given up their homes in this country, for the pur- pose of building up for themselves and their families, homes in the North West, are men possessed of considerable means and of indus- trious habits. Most of them are the descendants of the hardy pio- neers of this country, who have as- sisted their fathers to clear up the old homestead, and who are now desirous of doing for themselves and laying up something for those who may come after them.' There can be little doubt that great enthusiasm was stirred up by glowing reports which came out of the West. The Manitoban, 22 July, 1871, had a great deal to say on this in an editorial headed 'Superlatives'. 'Some people have a failing in the matter of superlatives. . . 'And the Red River country has good reason to complain of some of its superlative friends. For years they have been at work, — some with newspapers—some with books —some with parliamentary evi- dence—and the whole burden of their song has been that for fertil ity, produce, wood, fruits and every conceivable convenience and at- traction, the country is without parallel in the world. Such pota- toes, such crops, never were pro- duced anywhere as in the valley of the Red River, and those who wast- ed their energies anywhere else were accounted as fools. La.terly the lecturing style has been adopt- ed as the most suitable for singing the praises of Red River, and th \ halls of Ontario and Quebec, have resounded with the most fulsome descriptions of our province, and men who had comfort and plenty around them on every side, have grown weary in their well -doing, and relaxed their energies, think- ing it absurd any longer to toil and moll on their farms below. while such a land of milk and ,honey, lies away in the North-West.' Tbe editor did not wish to have ff understood that he was question- ing the natural capabilities of the Province. All he wanted was to advise his 'peripatetic friends to draw it a little mild.'

"In comparingOntario and 049i toba, one of the most striking 447' vantages in favor of the latter, was: the quantity of prairie land. To clear a wooded farm in: the back- woods of Ontario would .cost about $22 per acre, and this generally oc- cupied about ten, years befoze the trees and stumps could all' be re- moved; but in Manitoba the prairie broken up in June or July o! one year, was thoroughly available for crops the following year, and thus a farm of, say 100 acres, could he placed in thorough condition the second year, while in Ontario, it would require about ten to do the same thing. Then the question of roads was another important one. In the woodland of Canada it cost about $500 per mile to construct roads, and there were roads and crossroads to be made, and this re- quired a great expenditure. Well, the prairies of Manitoba are just as good the day you set foot upon them as the Canadian roads are 10 Jtl! ►ps}44ltin9 �ta;ila�lll hhs s�{ 147 eelietide t i,vilulti and eeilliPMent A,l sea _, frontier moved $ r4F more, the •propetiemtl• k 'failed to Mahe intp acco,i luo of the lumber t tri farms of .Huro=n, Br<loe ,mid. =colla, or the value of ppta$�4y earlier days ;an(l': 3n the• oidei of On=tario.
