Do yo' get any advantage when you go for "imported" products? In textiles, at least, the answer is simple. Canadian mills turn out fabrics and yarns that match or better the production of easy other textile country, of the world in quality. They are made by Canadians who are paid good Canadian wages; they are designed to please Canadian tastes, meet Canadian needs. This is no plea to shun "imported" materials. They should be considered along with domestic products by every Canadian consumer, but on a strict what-do..1-get-for-my-dollar basis. Ask for Canadian textiles if you want the best - for your money.

The Fanning Mill by Bob Carbert These days the farmers are busy seeding, and it won't be too long until the fields are taking on a new colour and a new hue. Yes, the fields will start out by turning green, and then later on this summer, they will develop the yellows and the golds of harvest. Somewhere along the line a lot of fields are going to turn other colours, blue, yellow, black and white and green, These colorful scenes, usually referred to by our urban cousins, as bright and typical of the rural coun- tryside, are at the same time, colours that most good farmers try and stay away from. I am referring to the blue of the chicory plants, the yellow of the wild mustard, the black and white of the ox-eyed daisy or black eyed susahs, and the greens and blues of the common thistles. These colours may attract the eye of the motorist passing by but to the fanner they are almost about as wel- come as a bad, attack of pink eye or the.measles. They mean that the yields of grain are cut down, that the qual- ity of the grain is lowered, and that it's going td cost plenty in time and expense to bring those weeds under control. For example, the wild mustard. It has been said that the average plant of wild mustard will yield in the neighbourhood of 15,000 seeds, and that is a pretty productive neighbour- hood, In other words, if you have one plant this year you stand a very good chance of having several thousands next year, depending of course upon the germination of that seed, Oddly enough weed seeds always seem to have a high germination rate. Then of course the same thing can be said for the other weeds that we mentioned earlier. In many cases where there is just an odd plant in the field of grain, you can walk through the field and pull these daisies, mustard and chicory plants, spud out the thistles sad such weeds andaeleatt up much of this col- cur that its 'to be found around the rural areas. However, in extreme cases, such as we find in so many areas, and espec- ially following a planting of flax, or some other small seeded crop, there remains one or two alternatives. Spraying with a chemical that is de- signed to clear up the pest, or constant: cultivation, Either way costs a little money, but they will pay off. Accord- ing to the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, a crop of mustard will use enough moisture to produce another 10 bushels of grain per acre and enough nitrogen and phosphorus to produce twice that amount of grain. Weeds may be attractive to the passerby, who is unaware of their nuisance value, but to the farmer they are a pain in the neck, When you have a nein in the neck you get to the chiropractor and have him take that kink out, Why not do the same with the weeds this year? 'Plant clean peed, Work the land well, and keep a con- stant watch for weeds that might poke their heads up above your grain and attempt to make a flower garden out of ,the field. Varied Drama Fare At Goderich Festival Comedy and mystery will provide varied fare for this year's Goderich Drama. Festival to be held at MacKay Hall, April 27, 28 and 29. The local ex- ecutive expect this to be one of the best festivals to date because of the wide range of entries, Ong of Canada's outstanding play- wrights, Robertson Davies, will have one of his plays in competition when the Galt entry performs his well known "Etats at Breakfast."

The Auburn Group Will present "Diet Be- gins Tomorrow" while inuagannon will present "Fetehin' Pa Around." As yet InitclumeraWaterloo and Sar- nia have not informed the local execu- tive of their choice of plays but It is expected that they will have strong contenders, Sarnia is considered of- ficially to be one' of the strongest en- tries since it ranked high in the re- cent regional festival held for the Dominion Drama Festival. As announced earlier, the Goderich Little Theatre Group will present a mystery entitled "The Monkey's Paw." The Goderich Collegiate entry has withdrawn from this year's festi- val.
