PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, August 31 Fall Fair Time It is only a few days until Sep- tember and with September comes the tang of autumn and the season of fall fairs. Agricultural fairs are as old• as recorded history. The first organiz- ed one in Canada was held at Wind- sor, Nova Scotia, in 1765. Since then fairs, predominantly agricultural, have spread westward until now there is an annual exhibition in hun- dreds of cities, towns and villages. They have made, and continue to make, an immeasurable contribution toward the solidarity and progress of Canada. Large or small, agricultural fairs are now well-established features of community' life. Besides providing all the fun of the fair they are an ideal meeting -place for farmers in, surrounding areas to gather and get some idea of what other farmers are .doing and to find out what is new in agriculture. To the farm boys and ,girls they are often the culmination of weeks of work when their entries of livestock, grains, and other farm products are judged. The increasing interest shown in agricultural fairs by the general pub- lic has been most marked during the last decade and many of these visi- tors are genuinely intere ted in find- ing out more about Canada's basic in- dustry. They are too, the farmers' customers and the more they can learn of farming and farm problems the more understanding they will be of the difficulties which farmers of- ten face and the decisions they are called upon to make. Of all our social institutions, prob- ably none caters so well to the many and varied demands of the commun- ity—urban as well as rural, as does the fall fair. Providing in capsule - like form a picture of the activities of the district, it permits the urban dweller to see at first hand the best in farm stock and production, and at the same time the farmer has the op- portunity to learn of the latest in machinery and labor-saving devices. to them by treaty and by prev(oua' legislation. First among these rights are those which attach to the reserves, those sections of land which remain in per- petuity in the hands of Indians alone and on which trespass is punishable by law. The reserve rights have been strengthened under the new law. Un- der the old act the government on its own authority could grant timber cutting rights and could lease unused land on reserves. Now any suggest- ed arrangements of this kind must receive the approval of the band lo- cated on the reserve concerned. The band councils also have great- er authority over expenditures from the Indian trust fund revenues. The Indian trust fund, which has accumu- lated from the sale of lands and leas- es and from revenues derived from timber, mineral and oil rights (of special import at this time in the western prairies) amounts at this time to over $21,000,000. One of the rights attaching to re- serves for which the Indians might be envied by other Canadians is that income earned from activities on the reserves is not subject to income tax- es. If elections to band councils whose responsibilities are now increased, women as well as men have the right to vote. A few months ago the gen- eral franchise to Indians in federal elections was granted. In British Columbia, Indians have the right to vote in provincial elections, and have a member" of their race in the Legis- lature. • Indians Assume New Status Canada's original citizens, the In- dians, assume a new and more im- portant status as a result of the pro- clamation of the Indian Act which was enacted by Parliament at the last session. The Act is to be proclaim- ed on September 4. Long a contentious subject, the position of the Indian and the extent to which he was to be given author- ity over his own affairs, has finally been settled. Responsibility for the change was that of Citizenship and Immigration Minister Hon. Walter E. Harris, who gave sympathetic and practical consideration to the com- plaints of the Indians. One result of the new Act will be to give a greater measure of author- ity to the Indians of this country in their band or quasi -municipal affairs and will give them greater powers over their own property. • In these and other ways, such as the easing of trade restrictions on tribesmen in the prairie provinces and the granting of the right of ap- peal to the courts on the administra- tion of Indian estates, further steps are being taken toward ultimate gilitieal and economic equality of the Indians with other Canadians. The new code is based on the band and reserve system and on continued recognition of those ancient and in- aI11MM.ble rights which the Indians adinror as the aborigines of this coun- 703.x0h We been guaranteed Enfranchised Indians, however, no longer are considered "Indians," and no longer come under- the pro- visions applying to reserve Indians. Thus an Indian, or an entire band, must decide to break with the his- toric reserve system in assuming full Canadian citizenship. If an Indian, does so decide, he is assisted by the government in establishing himself on the "outside." What Other Papers Say: CROSSROADS (By James Scott) SCHOOL DAYS I wonder what's happening over at the schoolyard? Do you suppose they still play the same good old games? In my day, on the boys' side of the fence anyway, we used to play cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers, until there wasn't a seat of trous- ers or a pair of kneee without patches. We used to play a game called pump,pumgspuli away, too, and that was first-rate for tearing the sleeves out of sweaters. We used to build snow forts in the win- ter and beleaguer the enemy with snowballs. And, of course, there were softball games in summer and hockey games in winter. I wasn't any good et either. But looking back, it seems like a golden era and I just caught my- self sighing, "Kids don't have as much fun as they used to." If I'm not caret l I'll soon be saying that the children of nowa- days are different. And when you hear a grown-up say that, what he .really means is that they are worse. Sometimes it astonishes me how much a fellow can forget about his own youth. Today 1 am constantly hearing the oldsters talkingabout the young 'uns as if they were all ready for Reformatory treatment after two years in Public School, and as if there were no doubt but that all teen-agers should be sent to Penitentiary, preferably with the lash thrown in for good mea- sure. And yet I can remember a girl in one of my own Public School classes being strapped until there were ugly swollen welts right up to her elbows. She had been "luso- lent"; she was a problem child. (She turned out to be a delightful woman and a good mother, but ,I bet the flogging she got didn't have anything to do with it). It seems to me that we were all bad when we were kids—that is if our parents' generation was to be believed, and yet, again, I seem to recall a favorite uncle of mine chuckling over the time he and some of his friends threw a teach- er in the woodboxsand kept her there. I guess they were what we've learned to call "juvenile delin- quents," elisquents," but as far as I know they all turned out to be sober and re- spectable citizens. So I took a walk down a city street just to see for myself •how bad today's children are. Across the street in the park I saw a lot of teen-age boys playing football. They didn't look or act depraved. A little farther along I'I saw some younger lads digging a cave in the side of a terraced lawn. Not so good for the turf, but wonderful for the kids. When 1 got to the main corner I saw two lads—maybe thirteen or fourteen— amoking cigarettes in front of the drug store. I can't remember a single fellow of my generation who hadn"t tried a cigarette by that age except one fellow, whose father had promised him a gold watch if he waited till he was twenty-one. He did and he's a chain -smoker today. I'll have to admit that some of the clothes these youngsters were wearing were a little astonishing, test if there was ever a gaudier 'garment than the yellow slicker (I used' ter have one and liked it), 1'd be glad if some one would tell me what it is. And I remember one year when all the blades in our town were wearing what were called. "whoopee hats"—they came in all colors from canary yellow to flaming red. On my whole tour I never once saw any article of clothing as flamboyant as the "whoopee hat." No, I don't think clothes make the dean after all. What's more, I'm not so sure that fashions in recreation make the man either. Maybe they're not playing pump - pump -pull-away and cowboys and Indians in the schoolyard anY more. I don't think it really mat- ters. A little faith and understanding is all they need. They're no worse than you were. They're probably a lot better than I was. Captain Can't Marry You (Brandon Sun) For some unfathomable reason people thrown together on long sea voyages get a sort of romantic fever which seems only to be cured by marriage. Then the fiction comes aboard that the captain of the ship can marry them. it used to be so on the old windjammers which were very long on the oceans. The status of the matter -now dates from 1914 when an international convention of the big maritime powers, held in Lon- don, put a stop .to all that. It produc- ed the Merchant Shipping Conven- tion Act which provides that ,a ship's official log book must carry this no- tice: "Masters are reminded that they have no power to perform the marriage ceremony on board their ship, and if such a ceremony is per- formed by them the marriage will not be a Iegal one." • Haircuts For "Habs" Just Thirty - Five Cents (Fergus News -Record) As the tourist business has grown, some of the inhabitants have become greedy. A cottage owner who doesn't complain is considered fair game. One story, told by a well- known minister, amused us. This man apparently goes native during his month in Muskoka. He goes up there in clerical clothes, shaven and shorn and citified. At the end of a month, cutting down trees, doing his own carpentry work and letting his hair grow long, it is hard to tell him from one of the year- round residents. Getting ready to go back to his church, the minister went to a bar- ber shop in a Muskoka village and got a hair -cut. "How much?" he asked. "Thirty-five cents for us `nabs'," the barber told him, "but seventy-five cents for summer tourists." The minister paid 'his thirty-five cent; without a single qualm of con- science, When fishing's fine and big ones fighting, Don't let flies do all the biting.

Most farmers in the southern part of the county have completed threshing, while others in the cen- tral and northern sections still have some grain to cut.' 'Consider- able plowing has been done in pre- paration for fall wheat, and a num bor of inquiries are being received concerning fall wheat for sale. Is 2-4-D Dangerous? Soybeans, turnips and field beans "Is 2-4-D dangerous?" This quer in the county look very good, and tion is often asked by 'both rural good yields are expected, and urban dwellers alike. As Mr. Ken Fallis, Fieldman for the Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture points out, 2-4-D is described as non -inflammable, non- toxic and non -corrosive. Yet in order to be called a weed killer, it must have some damaging effect, but this only seems to be on plants. Mr. Fallis declares that 2-4-D is highly selective, and therefore can be used to control weeds growing in the presence of crops. Howev- er, he contends that one of the main dangers from 2-4-D is from overdosage. By this statement, Mr. Fallis means that under normal conditions cereal crops will not be injured by doses sufficient to kill most weeds present. However, if amounts of 2-4-D larger than re- commended are used, the cereal crop may also be killed or damag- ed. Since clovers are susceptible to 2-4-D in doses sufficient to kill perennial weeds, care should be exercised in using this weed killer. IiIr. Fallis recommends that not more than 4 ounces of 2-4-1) per acre be used in the presence of clover. This amount is sufficiently strong to kill most annuals and yet not damage the legumes. Thus ase feels that one of the dangers of 2-4-D is from overdos- ages. However, if the instructions on the container are followed, he says that no severe damage will be done to anything but the weeds. At the same time he points out that even when the instructions are followed, there is some danger from drift — that is from wind- borne spray being carried to plants not intended to be sprayed. Evi- dence of this is often seen along roadsides, where trees have been sprayed inadvertently. He suggests that spraying be done on calm days and care be taken in apply- ing this weed killer. This is true of most weed killers, not gust 2-4-1). He states that lowere pressures give a coarser spray and minimize the danger of the spray drifting. The Brodget nozzle is recommend- ed by Mr. Fallis. It has a large opening and therefore there is less likelihood of clogging. For best results the pressure should be about 60 .pounds for roadsides and 30 pounds for crops In summing up 2-4-D, Mr. Fallis contends that as long as direc- tions are followed there is little or no danger from it. However, he adds that it is up to the operator of the 'sprayer to get the desired results. * * 4e Ragweed can only be eliminated by a determined effort on the part of both rural and urban people. Any one of three methods can be used—weed killers, clipping and hand pulling—and all will reduce the sneezing of Ontario residents. * 36 a6 Mr. Murdoch Stewart, son of Mr, and Mrs. Duncan Stewart, of Men- sall, left last week for the West where he will spend a short time with relatives and friends. Thursday evening while the weatherman was none too kind, an exceptionally good crowd attend- ed the Lions and Band tattoo held at the Driving Park. Nothing but praise was heard from every spec- tator. There were . seven bands in attendance. The performance of the Guelph Band, under the lead ership of Thos. Miller, lived up tc all expectations, Misses Gretta Ross and Glady: Thompson, of town, have returned after a two months' visit to Eng- land and the Continent. 'Miss Myrtle Sharkey, a gradu- ate of Stratford Normal, has ac- cepted a position on the staff of Port McNichol public school. Mr. Archie Middlemost, of Ham- ilton, gave a well -rendered solo at St. Thomas' Anglican Church Sun- day morning. In the small but historic village of Londesboro there stands an old grist mill of interest to all the resi- dents of Huron County. For nearly three-quarters of a century it has served the farmers and is still travelling on the course. Mr. John Dodds, of London, and a former well-known resident of Seaforth, was in town last week and his many old friends were glad to see him looking so well. Fifteen men members and twelve ladies from the Seaforth Golf and Country Club went to Goderich on Saturday afternoon to play a friendly match with the Blue Wa- ter Club. Unfortunately the fierce storm which was general over the county, put an end to play before any of the games were finished. In spite of the wetting they received, all enjoyed the afternoon and the Iunch served on the verandah. .*** Ragweed Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifo- lia L) which coiild almost be call- ed "Sneeze Weed," is causiug a great concern to both city and country people, as it is the basis of over 80 per cent of hay feeer suffering in Ontario. This is a very serious matter not only for the people of Ontario, but also tot tour- ists. If they know there is R::2. - weed around, it may tend to keep them away, particularly in late summer, and hence we lose many thousands of tourist dollars. This statement was made Eby K. E. Fal - lis, Fieldman for the Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture. He gives as still another reason for keeping Ragweed under don- trol, the fact that if too much is present in pasture or hay it tends to give the milk an off -flavor. Mr. Fallis points out Ragweed is equally at home in the city or country, on waste or cultivated places. It is fast spreading to Northern Ontario which was, once, a Ragweed free area and hence a haven for hay fever victims. An annual weed with a tap root, ragweed has a branched, slightly hairy, erect stem. The flower heads for slender spikes at the ends of the branches and the seed is borne in the axil of the leaves ' Mr. Fallis states that although Ragweed is very susceptible to all forms of chemical weed killers, two of its habits make control and eradication difficult. In the first place, it is a late seeding weed and springs up after harvesting or cultivation operations have ceased. Secondly, the seeds are borne low in .the stem and therefore only very close mowing will prevent seed formation. Under the circumstances, Mr. Fallis suggests that cultivation is the . best means of control. Un - seeded stubble field shiiirld be cultivated immediately following harvest and cultivation continued as late as possible. Fields that are seeded down with clover may be closely clipped following har- vest. Some success has been ob- tained' from after -harvest spraying with 3 ounces 2,4-D acid per acre. As am important step in control- ling further spread of Ragweed he emphasizes that ' only the best clover seeds—those known to be free from Ragweed—should be us- ed. When mowing along roadsides and on waste places, the imipert- ant factor to remember is to Clip close. Additional mowings may be necessary to control later matur. ing plants. Mr• Fallis declares that July spraying is about optimum fOr Home Gutted By Fire Fire and water damage at the - home of Edwin Sil.lick, Teeswater, will amount to about $4,000 as the, result of a blaze which was dis- covered at five o'clock Monday morning.
