A PLAGUE OF' WEEDS. -The annual
Provincial report of the agricultural soc-
ieties, just issued, records the fact that
during the past year the number of
societies entered In the standing field
crops competition had increased 84 per
cent. The reports of the Judges show
that there is co:telderable attention be-
ing paid by farmers to securing better
and purer seed grain. and also to im-
proved cultivation of the land and the
eradication of weeds. The report _ex-
presses anxiety over tete growth of
weeds. "The alarming rate at which

for strenuous work on the part of farm-

the truth. If you did you could not live
and your newspaper would be a failure.
The editor replied. -You are right ,and
the minister who will at all times and
under all circumstances tell the truth
about the church members alive or dead,
will not occupy till pulpit more that one
Sunday, and then he would find it neces-
sary to leave town in a hurry. Tho
