I FALL RYE FOR PASTURE (Experimental Farms News) Fall rye has proved to be one of the best crops for early spring pas­ ture. Seeded as early as August 1 fall rye will usually provide some fall pasture that year, but if seeded later than September 15 it should not be grazed until the following spring, states F. S. Nowsad, Division of Forage Plants, Dominion Experi­ mental Farms Service. Fall rye alone in the spring is not a very good supplementary pas­ ture to a permanent summer pasture but if seeded in a mixture with oats, it will produce good yields of nutri- trious and palatable forage. At first, the bulk of the forage will be oats, although even at that time the fall rye will give a good "bottom” to the pasture. If not grazed too close, fall rye will continue to supply con­ siderable pasture until freeze-up. The use of fall rye for early spring pasture is becoming increasingly popular. In experiments conducted at most Branch Experimental Sta­ tions and at Ottawa, fall rye has provided from two to four weeks of eaily spring pasture, if judiciously handled, and was ready at least two weeks before other pastures could be grazed. Following early spring pasture the land may be ployed, cultivated and seeded to other crops such as corn, millet, sudan grass or rape. In this "way it is possible to grow fall rye for pasture without seriously changing the usual crop rotations. Fall rye should be seeded at to 2 bushels if seeded alone or at 1 bushel if seeded in a mixture with 2 bushels of oats per acre. The varieties recommended are M.C. 514, Rosen and Crown for the very earliest, pastures. Dakold, a very hardy variety, is late and pros­ trate in habit of growth at first, but it may be used to furnish pasture a little later than the other variet­ ies mentioned. If you don’t know the words of that popular patriotic song ‘‘There’ll Always be an England,” clip this out and memorize it: I give you a toast, ladies and gentle­ men, I give you a toast, ladies and gentle­ men, , May this fair land we love so well In dignity and freedom dwell, Tho’ worlds may change and go awry While there is still one voice to cry. There'll aways he an England While there’s a country lane, Wherever there’s a cottage small Beside a field of grain. There'll always be an England While there’s a busy street, Wherever there's a taring wheel. A million marching feet Red, white and blue, Whaf does it mean to you? Surely you’re proud, shout it aloud Britons awake. The Empire too—we can depend on you. Freedom remains—these are the chains—nothing can break. There’ll always be an England And England shall be free. If England means as much to you As England means to me. ACCIDENTS INCREASE IN JULY During the month of July there were 7,9 02 accidents reported to the Workmen’s Compensation Board, as compared with 6,20 6 during the month of June, and 5,242 during the month of July a year ago. The benefits awarded amounted to $571,730.96, of which $483,740.* 34 was for compensation and $107,- 99 0.02 for medical aid. Of course, there are some people to whom Scotland means a lot more than England, and for their sake someone had added to the foregoing verses the following: There will always be an England ’ As long as Scotland stands, For it's due to dear old Scotland That England’s wealth expands. Our friendly neighbor England We always will defend, We’ll help her fight her battles. Her broken ships we’ll mend. And when the war is over, And victory has been won, We’ll sing of England’s glory And the wonders she has done. RETURNS FROM FISHING TRIP SOCIAL EVENT HELPS FUNDS OF RED CROSS j FUNERAL SEMICH HELD FOB BENJAMIN MILLIKEN Added significance is attached this year to the Military Tattoo held on Saturday night, August 24th at the Canadian, National Exhibition.

Agonizing Eczema (Salt Rheum) No rest, day or night, for those afflicted with that awful Skin dis­ ease, eczema, or salt rheum as it m commonly called. .The intense burning, itching and smarting, especially at night, or when the affected part is exposed to strong heat, or hot water, are almost unbearable, and relief m gladly welcomed. To get rid of eczema it is neces­ sary to have the blood cleansed by the use of a thoroughly reliable blood medicine such as Burdock Blood Bitters which during the past 60 years has mot with great success in relieving such diseases by its blood cleansing and purifying properties. Tho T, Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont. Messrs. Gideon Koehler and Fred Haberer, of town, accompanied by Mr. Ulric Snell, of Exeter, returned on Friday evening after having a most enjoyable fishing trip up north They had excellent fishing up in the Massey and Spanish districts. At Massey they had the pleasure of calling on Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Rembe, former residents of Zurich. They finished up this great outing by trolling for trout at Meaford where they landed among smaller ones, a large ten pound lake trout. Fish were quite plentiful and the tourist fishermen not so many as in some years.—Zurich Herald. HOW BRITISH KEEP THEIR CALM. The following appeared in a Lon­ don paper: WHAT DO I DO -When I hear a gun, explosions, air-raid warnings-—? I keep a cdol head. I take cover. I gather my family with gas masks and go quietly to my shelter or refuge room. I do NOT try to have a look. I do NOT rush around alarming people. I re­ member that a lot of the noise is GOOD noise - our guns firing at the enemy. And I remember the odds are thousands to one against my being hurt, 25 YEARS AGO Thursday, August 12, 1915 Miss Dolly Dickson left this week on a holiday trip to New York and other American points.

But ihe is engaged in fighting an evil habit and traffic which destroys spiritual as well as physical values. Nothing destroys personality and the Divine in man so quickly and so complete­ ly as the drink habit. In 1918 the Allies won peace but we seem to have lost it hy a general breakdown of character evidenced hy a lack of spiritual force and in this lowering of national ideals the drink habit and a general tolerance of the trafific even on the part of those who do not drink, has been a large factor. Germany has greatly limited the consumption of spirits. The slogan of the Storm Troopers is "your body belongs to your country. Keep fit” and hence Germany is teaching total abstinance to her soldiers. General Von Moltke before the last war said: fear from beer enemies. Have from liquor at than Germany? In December Government passed orders-in-Coun- cil prohibiting the manufacture, im­ portation and transportation of liq­ uor and the preamble stated "It is. rich, judging from the clothes they essential and indeed vital to the “wear.” "Oh, one can never tell, successful conduct, of the war that Even some of the most gorgeous wasteful and unnecessary expen di-1 flowers haven’t got a scent!”—Lam- turps should he prohibited and ihat’poon.

What can we women do? Keep on educating and agitat­ ing without being discouraged. Did you ever hear of Dame Agnes Weston? She was born a hundred years ago on March 26th 1840. In 1878 she was asked to be the sup­ erintendent of a department of work under the National Temperance League, most unusual for a woman.' Five years before in 1868 a temper-1 ance league had been started on her* Majesty’s ship Reindeer and Miss Weston was asked to form temper­ ance leagues on other ships of the British Navy. After six years’ effort, the navy she could report that the navq she could report that tically every ship of the Royal had a temperance committee. Queen Victoria took a personal interest in this work and asked that it be called the Royal Navy Temper­ ance Society, a ‘branch of the Na­ tional Temperance League. In time it was adopted that in the navy a cocoa ration could be chosen in­ stead of the rum ration. Liquor is a needless expenditure in war time. We can compute the local expenditure though is it not published. Georgetown received as the municipal refund of 20 per cent, of the tax on beer and wine sold in the beverage rooms. This tax is 5 cents per gallon. Counting sixteen glasses to the gallon, retailing at ten cents a glass, we find that beer sales in Georgetown amounted to approximately $115,000 and George­ town has nor been able to afford a much needed sewage system and an extension to the High School. Alcoholism is one of the Empire’s worst enemies and one of the greatest contributions we can make at this time one behalf of our coun­ try’s welfare is to eliminate drink­ ing and the Drink Traffic.
