It is important that a market be found at once to prevent serious loss to the growers. We cannot at present export this crop. Imported fruit is now -used to such an extent that apples are not in vogue as they were a few years ago. We heard one man say that a few years ago he would have several barrels of apples in his cellar for the family’s use. Now this family does not use one-quarter the apples. There are so many ways that ap­ ples can be used, tasty dishes that are a delight It would be a wonderful .thing for the apple growers if each housewife would get out the old cook book and look up all the apple dishes she can find — then use them. Apples, in.'hand, as the kids say, are refreshing and healthful. Remem­ ber that old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” 5|S TAKEN MUCH TOO SERIOUSLY The newspapers of late have had quite a lot to say about Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in criticism of a speech he made recently, and in which he Criticised Canada for declaring war on Germany and preferring to remain a part of the British Empire in prefer­ ence to enjoying the liberty of the United States. Colonel Lindbergh has a short me­ mory. It is not long since he fled his United States and sought liberty, peace and quietness in Britain. The Colonel, however, should not be tak­ en too seriously. His opinions on in­ ternational politics are naturally lim­ ited, and while some ten years ago he was a popular .idol in his own country because he flew solo from New York to Paris, that is no indi­ cation that his opinion should be par­ ticularly weighty regarding Europe, Canada, or even the United States. His flight from New York to Paris was a foolish boy’s prank. True, he was successful but he might easily not have been. On his return home he was feted and honoured, elevated to the head of one of the well-known flying companies, which seems ' to have gone to his head. Despite any­ thing Colonel Lindbergh may say, the great bulk of the American people are behind Britain and France in their fight against Naziism. It is said fully 85%< of the German population of the great republic are hoping that the Al­ lies win and that the German people will be freed from tyranny. No criticism can be made of Col. Lindbergh as an aviator. There are few better, but his greatness ends there. His speech the other day show­ ed how little he knew of international affairs, and the press of his own country have taken him to task for what they term his asinine remarks, wholly uncalled for and ‘entirely lack­ ing in good taste. So far. as Canada is concerned she does not relish war any more than does the United States. We believe, however, that the present conflict is the business of democracies of the world. If this thing called democracy is worth while, surely it is worth fighting for. Whether we like it or not, the democratic countries of the world are vitally interested, and if the United States wants to stand back and allow other democracies to fight Missing Girl in Car Crash Complaint of an Ashfield farmer, Clare Irwin, that his daughter h^d not returned to her home and that he fear­ ed she had been in a motor accident, set police investigating.

They are Miss Dor­ othy Irwin, head and arm lacerations; David Hardy, three broken ribs, and Howard Martin, gashes On one arm. Miss Cecile Watts, of near Dungann­ on, driver of the car, was uninjured. All reside in Ashfield Township. Safes Robbed Loot of about $400 was obtained in two safe robberies in Lambton and Huron Counties Thursday night of last week. The. safe of the For­ est Creamery was blown open, and a 400-pound safe of the Canada Pack­ ers’ at Clinton was carried away. It contained $100 in cash. After the Forest robbery, six' men in a car sped out of the town toward London. Au­ thorities are seeking to determine if the same gang was responsible for each robbery. Huron authorities re­ call that several raids have been stag­ ed on dairy and creamery plants in Western Ontario in recent weeks. Other raids have been at Tara, Luck­ now and New Dundee. Rag Man’s Lucky Day A Fergus boy was left alone in his home while his parents were absent for a while.

A search is being conducted for the rag man. — News- Record. HYDRO LAMPS Z.:.

Under Detention for Disloyal Talk Karl Kropp, aged about 35, who has been farming in Normanby town­ ship for some years, was placed in detention by the,, police of the district. It is said that he has been in Canada about 11 years. A week or two ago, Constable Langille of Owen Sound, Officer McClevis. of Walkerton and Chief (Meyer of Hanover were in con­ sultation about aliens who have been reported to them, and they went down to Normanby to see Kropp, and others who had made complaints about his conduct since the war broke out. As a result, we understand he was placed under detention, first in the Grey county jail, and later remov­ ed to Toronto. — Hanover Post. Kincardine Man Flying Instructor A.

CRANBERRY CRAFT By Betty Barclay There’ll be lots more cranberries around this year than last, because the crop is more than 150,000 barrels higher in volume than the short 1938 crop, our market authority tells us. And that’s a good enough reason for putting some of the interesting new cranberry dishes right into the daily menu. Here are two—a meat dish and a dessert.

EFFECTS OF VARYING RATES OF LIMESTONE FOR CLOV- , ER PRODUCTION (Exjerimental Farms .News) Durihg the past years, crop after crop lias been taken from the soil, zacid-forming fertilizers have been ap­ plied, and in many cases the top Soil has been washed away. All this has tended to increase acidity. As a result many of the soils throughout Eastern Canada need the addition of lime­ stone for optimum production. The leguminous crops, such as Fed Clover, are the first to suffer from a lack of lime in the soil. This is due in part to the fact that they depend to a very large .extent on the abund­ ant growth of cerain soil organisms. These organisms cannot grow and ra function in an acid soil. This shows the importance of limestone. In order to determine the optimum amount of lime to be applied, in 1936, an experiment comparing three tons, two tons, one ton, and no limestone was laid down on all Illustration Stations in New Brunswick, states L. J. Bellefleur, Dominion Experimental Station, Fredericton, N.B. The. idea of this experiment was to compare the value or detrimental effects of • limestone at the various rates men­ tioned on the different crops, but es­ pecially on the growth of clover. In 1938 the effect of the application of ground limestone on the yields of clo­ ver hay was determined.. Records were taken from the four treatments at twelve stations and showed the fol­ lowing average yields: Limestone applied 3 tons 2 tons 1 ton 0\ons These figures not much difference in clover^ yield between the three-ton, two-ton, and one-ton applications. However, all limed areas gave considerably larger yields than the unlimed area. The 3- ton application will aid the growth of clover for a longer period of years, but, on the other hand, a heavy ap­ plication encourages the development of potato scab and brown—heart of turnips. Consequently, a lighter ap­ plication is advised, such as one or two tons to the acre. This may be re­ peated when necessary. show Clover yields 2.11 tons 1.96 tons 1.88 .tons 1.30 tons that there is The worn traveler wondered whe­ ther she could board the sleeping car in the yards, and retire, .ahead of the departure of the train. “Can I get on No. 6 before it , starts?” she asked.
