NM NARROW Esaw FROM 'UNUSED WELL Mr, Linus Poechman of the South Line, Brant, had a, .'narrow escape While pleughing the garden, plot of his farm with tractor on Friday mom, ing of last, week,, While turning over the„turrews he suddenly felt the wheel pulling to the side, and thinking he had caught the root of a tree got off to investigate. Mr. Poechman was astounded when he discovered that in-_ stead of snagging„ on a root his trac- tor had crashed through the top of an old abandoned well leaving a hole four feet in diameter into the well which is thirty, feet in depth. This well must have been dug in the eigh- teenth century and was left with only a plank covering about two feet below the stirface, It was ;a narrow escape for the agrarian and the incident could easily have been attended by more Serious results.—Walkerton Herald- Times. A SILLY GOOSE„ A note from Mrs. James Dempsey, R. R. 1, Petrone, advises us of the faqt that she has a goose now laying, which is considered a very rare thing. Mrs. Dempsey raised geese for many years and never before had one lay in the fall of the year. She tells us to put this one along with the raspberries and mushrooms. Perhaps that goose is not so silly after all. With a goose laying, it post- poned her big chanties of gracing the table at Thanksgiving time. Now, if she can only keep that up until after Christmas she may get a reprieve for to continue her usefulness next spring. when all good geese are expected to do their duty in the way of reproduct- ion.—Alvinston Free Press. IT WAS ONLY A FOX NO BOUNTY AFTER ALL Ernest Greer of Glamis thought he had made $45 Sunday night when he ran down a large animal on the road to Inverhuron Beach. However, he was disappointed to discover, when getting out of his car that it was only a fox. His lights picked it up in the centre of the road but it could not dodge his speeding car. Another Glamis man, Earl Ferris, ran down a wolf in the Greenock swamp last week and be- lieves he will collect $45 bounty.—Wal- kerton Herald-Times. On Friday, October 16th, 1953, 34 boys and girls spent a memorable day at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, competing in the provincial inter-club Forestry competition. This event was the highlight of a year's Work by these people as members of 17 Forestry clubs scattered all across Ontario. rudiments of farm woodlot manage- ment, The clubs are coached by the zone foresters and in many cases by the Agricultural teachers in the 1-11gli schools. At the local Achievement day held for each club, the members must exhibit a collection of 20 leaves and a collection of 10 twigs or seeds or woods of forest trees; they must pass an identification test on leaves and a quiz pr test on the work which they have studied during the course of the club year, The top 2 members of the club art then eligible to travel to the Inter-club competitions 'at Guelph. However, there is one stipulation, a team member must be at least 16 years old before be can go to Guelph. The competition in Guelph,,includes the identification of 20 trees; 20 for- est tree leaves; 10 twigs, seeds or woods; and an oral quiz on the work they have covered in their local club programmes. A number of Forestry team mem- bers who went to Guelph were greatly surprised by the magnitude of the days' programme arrange for var- ious 4-H clubs. Some 454 boys and girls competed in the 8 competitions dealing with various 4-H club projects. For these boys and girls it was a wonderful experience, one that will not soon be forgotten.
