Ladles Auxiliary Meeting The regular meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Wingham General Hospital, will be held next Monday evening, June 7th, at 4 15 in the Coun- cil chamber. The Gypsy Carnival which was repeated Last Thursday ler aid of the funds of the above Society, amounted to about $30. The concert was very much enjoyed by those pres- ent. Some variation was added to program by the singing of Mrs. Pater. yon of London, who was kind enough to cousent to sing, though on a very short visib to her sister, Mrs. E. B. Walker. Mrs. Paterson's singing was a rare treat to many who seldom have an opportunity of hearing singing out of Wirigham, Henry McKay. Ilenry McKay an old and esteemed resident of Culross Township dropped dead at his home there on Sunday morning, May 23rd. He was about 80 years of age, and death was no doubt due to senile decay and heart failure. For many years the late Mr. McKay was prominent in the public life of the township, serving first as c ,uncillor and later for a number of years as reeve until he voluntarily etired, His outspoken and even pugnacious manner, though it made nim.many enemies commended him to the ratepayers who recognized in him an honest man and a faithful <errant. For years after bis retire- went from municipal lite a speech by McKay was a regular feature of the +,nnual nomination meeting. In re- ligion he was a Presbyterian and in politics was an independent, . having espoused the Patron movement of the early nineties, ADVICE `'POR PEACH GROWER. Federal Bulletin Tells Him About Lo• cation of Orchard, Soil, Etc. In at least thirty-nine of ,our •forty eight states there nee peach interests of commercial importance, according to a recent United ,States farmers' bulletin, No. 031, of the department on growing peaches. This bulletin ie the first of three on the general subeect of peach growing, "Which will treat of fundamental orchard operations. It gives ranch Valuable Information ,to the fruit grower. The questions of site, propagation, planting, tillage and soil fertility are treated in the first bulletin. In locating a peach as well as any other orchard other advantages must tie considered besides the natural ones of climate and soil. If an orchard Is WO remote from a shipping station, too far away from a suitable) market, or located where ice for refrigerator cars cannot be ornvenientl;q supplied, it may not be possible to grow peaches there profitably. Peaches may do well on a wide range of soil types, including even some. of the znodorately heavy clay foams and clays. But, whattiever the type, a sell must. be thoroughly well drafted to be suitable for Beaches. • They will not succeed on poorly drain- ed soils. It follows that the heavy clay types which are so hard and im- pervious that water does not percolate through theta readily are to be avoid- ed as arule. Moreover, a soil should be moderately fertile. Ono very rich In nitrogen is not to be desired as a general rule, since it is likely to in- duce an excessive growth of folinge. On the other band, `.t Ito impression which Is somewhat common that a poor, unfettilo soil Is "good enough for peaches" Is er'ronebus, In districts in Which• alkaJ:t soils oc• cur sites should be selected with a view to avoiding them. While the peach tree can be grown Where there is a Ilmited arnount of alkali salts. they cause disaster if present In targe quantities. It Is safer therefore to aVoitl them as for as possible. As a general proposition a site that Is elevated considerably oboe° the stara rounding area Is to be preferred for a peaeh orchard.- Ilelatire elevation le generally of greater Importance than actual elevation above sea.

I am sure they are no prouder than we are. We are having a rest just now, but expect to be iii it again soon; we are all anxious to get a shot at the Germans:. I trust it won't last long (the war I mean). We get to feel a little homesick at times, and must only hope to getout of the next fight as well as we •have done. I hope you are all well at home; gives my kindest regards to all my friends and tell them we all are looking forward to getting back home some clay soon. Love to you mother and all the rest, tell them I gave the Germans one each for them. Write soon and I will write first chance I get, I hear there is not much work doing in Wingbam, sorry to hear 11, but hope it will soon take a turn for theebetter.
