The new publisher of the Walkerton paper assumes control at once. Mr. Pease served four years in the Great War with the 21st Battalion of the C. E. F. He arose from lientenant to lieutenant -colonel and commanding officer of that unit that did such mag- nificent service on the firing line in France.

ONTARIO Fall Fedor are bigger a' d better See others as well as your own The : Fall Fairs are now more interesting and more instructive than ever. They offer an educational ad- vantage as well as pleasure, and the good roads enable you to attend arid return the same day. Visit several Fall Fairs. Take thei family with you. Ask the neighbors' to come and .bring their families, and you will enjoy your community party. Meet the people of the next county and learn what's going on. You may pickup something about livestock or field crops which. will be useful to you. When you travel over miles of good roads you will think of the advantage they have: rought to you over those who lived in the last generation. They have widened your sphere of travel three or four times over. Remember this, that the roads must be maintained, and that you and other users of them will pay the cost. Use theta sanely. Don't exceed the speed limit of 25 miles, and if you use a truck don't over -load it. Because overloaded trucks break gown road found- ations and fast driven passenger cars tear up road sur faces the law provides these restrictions.

Oracle:ates the Worst of Weeds and Ieurnishes Great Abundance of titch"Hay tear the hive Stook. (Ponirlbuted by Ontdrle Department of Agriculture, Teroatu.) In a survey covering an lnvestiga- tion on 900 fame, those that were growing alfalfa showed an average net profit of $1,200 per farm against $72ii Per .farm profit for those that were not growing alfalfa. This dif- ference of pearly $590 in profit was due to the alfalfa and farm practice that goes with it. Use Hardy Strains. Ontario Variegated and the Grimm varieties are more winter proof than the common er southern. grown. These alone should be used in On- tario. The seed, may .cost a little more, but when everything is at stake i against King Winter, the additional Cost of good seed is your insurance for a return in crop. Hardy varieties .last longer, and when once establish- ed and given rational treatment, re- main vigorous and profitable for many yeare. Alfalfa's Greatest Need Is Lime. Alfalfa is a lime hungry plant; 1t cannot succeed where lime does not exist in abundance. Each ton of hay produced requires approximately 100 pounds of lime. So the attempted growing of alfalfa on soils that are sour or lacking in lime, is time, money and labor thrown away. Cor- rect the, limo deficiency first, if the soil needs it apply up to two tons Per acre every, five years. Most On- tario soils do not require more than a ton per acre every five years. With a yield of four tons of alfalfa hay per acre over a period of five years a ton of lime will be removed from the soil. So you see the need of re- turning lime to the medium in which the plant grows. A Definite Accomplishment The national debt bf Canada is not something that the government owes, :8 government may be here today and away to -morrow, but the debt stays. It is a debt that is the property of the taxpayers of Canada, en obligation just as real as a bill in- curred in purchase at a store by any one individual. When a government increases this national debt it increases the obliga- tion en every resident in the Domw*- ion to pay the interest on it and to share in: any plan made for its dis- charge, In 1923 the net debt of Canada was at its highest point, In ,recent years it has been: 1917 .... . , , $ 879,186,297 1918 ••••..•,,, , , , 1,191,884,062 1919 1,674,531,032 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 .. ,..\,L,417,'1 is ,G rg 1925 2,417,437,685 Aug. 31, 1925 2,336,933,600 The August 31 figure is given be- cause the figure above represented the standing on March 31.

Actual performance of that char- I acter is what the people of Canada want, and it is what they will support. How to Apply Lime. Apply lime to the.. surface of ploughed land. Do not slough it under;' work it in with the harrow. Lime maybe spread over the surface of the 'land by using a lime dis- tributor, the manure spreader, or shovelling from the waggon box by hand. Autumn is the best time, after the fall ploughing has been done. Vigorous Growth Follows Inoculation. Areas on which alfalfa has not been grown should be treated. through the application of 200 pounds of bacteria carrying soil per acre.

Points forthe hambing Season. Just at this season of the year it may not be out of p1oo to mention some Important considerations which must be given at the lambing season because after all the success or fail- ure of the .Iamb crop determines largely the profit for the year, It le absolutely necessary for the attendant to be on hand frequently both day and night. The loss or not a few lambs, and in some cases both mother and lambs, can bo avoided by prompt action on the part of the one in charge; A. week or two before the ewes are due to :lamb all the dung locks and dirty, straggling wool on the hindquarters of the sheep should be cut away with the ordinary sheep shears.

Perhaps be- cause Ontario has no coal resources the people were the more impress with the necessity of retaining con- trol of water powers, for public ser- vice rather than for public profit. The success of the Ontario Hydro- electric Power Commission has more than justified the confidence of the citizens who launched the movement for co-operative municipal ownership nearly twenty years ago. Although Ontario has lately been passing through an industrial depression, 1 •a there has bean a considerable in the demand for hydro electric pow- er. More than 300 municipalities in the Province have a co-operative in- terest in the Ontario -electric Power Commission.
