THINGS THAT COUNT
IN AGRICULTURE.
Mr. Gavin Barbour Addresses the BCC -
miller Farmers Club.
On Friday evening last Mr. Gavin
Barbour, of Crosahill, gave a very in-,
teresting address before the BenmilI.I ,
Pelmets' Club on "Things that flaunt
in Agriculture." In oosnectioo with
the Farmers' Institutes, Mr. Barbour
was already well known in this neigh -1
borhood as a speaker on agricultural
topics
"('o -operation." he said, "is very
necessary in agriculture." It is Im-
portant in all lines of work and no
people require it more than the ,
farmers, who have• greater diversity
of products. In Decent her the On lips
farmers discussed eo-operation of pro- ;
duction. One of the questions under 1
discussion was why the Eastern Prov- 1
ince. have secured the potato market
i In Ontario. The answer was that they
have co-operation of production. They
concentrate on one varietyof pots-
1toes, whereas in Ontario wen a car is
loaded we find seven or eight varieties.
In the Mount Forest vicinity the
farmers all produce one type of horses
and they are able to get much higher
trices for them.
Another thing that counts is uni-
formity of work. In South Perth a
farmer won a prize from the Western
Dairyman's Association for the best
herd of cows. On his farm were a
large number of Ac1ol.tein cows uni-
form in size, marking and color. in
hia horse stable there was nothing but
Clydesdale Borges. He wade an ab-
solute success with a view to uniform-
ity of breed.
Education is a very important thing
for the present-day farmer. Who are
the men doing the labor in the coun-
try ? They are the uneducated men.
Education will allow the men on farms

The rural w:bool fair stimulates
great interest in things grown. •

products which have been grown un

these vegetables gives a greater in-

observation and adds to the health.

than enlistment. The farmer is doing

Another matter of importance is the
inveetmeot of money. Many people
invest their money in real estate and
stocks, but this is haphazard buying
and uncertain et all times. The place
to invest your surplus is back oo the
farm, to make it a greater producing
concern. Poor stock costs as much as
good. Then why not keep all pure-

The farmers form the highest claw

to see that the type does not deterior-
ate. How are they to keep up the
standard ? They must put forth
greater efforts for co-operation and

Hatay Battalion Maintains Its Good
Rstord—Ready to Leave for the Front.
The Signal was pleased to receive a
few days ago a letter lruw Sergi. -
Major George James, of the "Humor,'•
who wrote from Witley Camp. bort .y,
England, under date of Match 31.1 :
I thought i would drop • few lilies
to The Signal to give some persons a
taint idea of the doings. of the 161st
Battalion. We are at prosiest sta-
tioned at Witley, an Al camp, but do
not koow what minute we will get
orders to leave for France. We are
under orders of tbm general tooMllza-
tioo and are kept in readiness to leave
at any minute. At the time of the
mobilization I was at Aldershot on a
special course In physical training
and was grabbed off the street and
shipped back to my Battalion. [heel
helmets and gas masks were issued,
but things grew quiet and we are once
more down to work. i must say that
the 161st is a Battalidh Huron can be
proud of. as we have less crone sheets
to deal with than any other Bsttallon,
and that is one thing that kept us as a
Battalion. The boys .nae all in fine
shape and all looking forward to tak-
ing their pert in the big drive, which
no doubt we will be in. The hoys are
well fed and the moat of them show it.
I have noticed In oce of the Huron
papers people asking what became of
the socks, To give you an idea of
what I. done with soon of them : A
fellow went to London on a four-day
leave and put up at the Maple Leaf
Club. at Hydr'Verk. He was soaking
wet when he arrived t here. One of the
ladies in attendance asked hitt if his
feet were dry. Of oour.. they were
nor, so the good soul tock his wet
ones and gave him a pair of good old
Canadian home -knitted sock., and did
not .barge one cent. This Club. or
home. is run entirely by Canadian
ladies, who are more like mothers to
the boys. The (ioderich boy' are an
well, especially Major Campbell and
Captain Sturdy sud C. M. S. Jan_
(A. H.)
Tbe weather here is quite speinglikeI
and moot farmers have their crop. in ,
and up. The 161st are provided with
their pock mules and transport horses
and the boys are getting • good stiff
route march with full packs every day.
Yours sincerely,
