BURNING OF STRAW STACKS The burning of straw stacks by farmers has been a cause of some anxiety to our ^townspeople until they knew what was burning, lest some farmers barn or house- was being destroyed by fire. Some people question the wisdoip of burning these stacks. They think there is 'quite a loss of manurial values. At least one farmer used to blow the straw into his barnyard which was hollowed out like a saucer. , Here the straw was thrown around as fast as the cattle could tramp it down and the rains provided mois­ ture for rotting it. This man grew splendid crops of fall wheat for many years and he attributed a large part of his success to return­ ing, this straw' to 'the land in form of barnyard manure.

They are all keyed up with with the enthusiasm . of youth to pitch in to their share of the world’s wonk. Bi|-t there is no place for them. Some are marking time, waiting for an opening, by staying on at school. Others are simply idling. Many who -cannot afford to be unemployed at h-ome," have taken to the road. Thousands of bright- lads who should have a useful fu­ ture; are through dint of unfortun­ ate circumstances, hitting the high­ ways'these days. It is surely poor, training for our youths. One the effect it may have on the moral fibre of worthy lads who are the vic­ tims of present conditions. L/wws
