THURSDAY,' JUNE 12, 1947
HONOR DAD, BUILDER OFOUR
CHILDREN'S FUTURE!
0 lily a few short weeks.ago, we hald the privilege
of celebrating Mother's Davy, at which time all
tribute to our mothers
of us .attempted to pay fir`t'h
for their many fine qualities. Now, the big occasion is
Father's Day, which will be marked tilts coming Sunday,
June 15.
Up until this year—acid especially ,during the war
period very little iattenti'on was paid to this annual event,
and this is the first time in Canada that a national cam-
paign in connection with Father's Day ever has been at.,
tempted. It its true, however, ;that 'some attention has
been paid in the 'past to 'Father's Day, but the Canadian
Farther's Day Committee pans to go all out next year
to establish Father's • Day as a national institution.
Father, Dad, Papa, or whatever name the individual
has ibeen accustomed to calling the head of the home, is
immaterial, but the fact remains 'that no boy or girl ever
had a finer friend than his or her father. Those who
have had the misfortune to lose their fathers by death,
can 'afttest to the sense of vacancy Which seems to exist
following such occurrences. No young man nor woman
properly appreciates his or her father until the hand of
death intervenes.
JUST DOGS
The so-called "dog question" Is not confined to any
one town or 'community; it is universal. Possibly
since the beginning of time, dogs have had both
their friends and their enemies, with varying degrees of
vocality, depending on what side of the fence they happen
to be on. For the poor neutral, like ourselves, the argu-
ments for 'and against dogs are rather bewildering.
Locally, the matter is rapidly coming to a head.
Those who claim their gardens are 'being destroyed by
wandering taniine's, are determined to stop their losses,
while those who own the dogs a>plyarently are planning
to do nothing about it.
Actually, it is not illegal for dogs to run at large
in Clinton: It is in Toronto, London, Goderich, Palmerston,
Sebfarth, and other ,co'mmunvti'es-ibut not Clinton. The
simple reason is that ,Clinton Town Council has not passed
a 'byl'aw ordering the canines to be tied up in the Spring
and summer months, as in these other .communities. , An
effort in Council last year proved abortive; this year no'
one suggested it.
It is rumored that dogs—or at least one dog—
have been 'shot in Clinton within the past few days, and
that police oharges may pend. If the story we hear is
true that a dog was shot 'at and mortally wounded, but
not killed outright—them there is tine that something
should be done by 'somebody. We don't own a dog, but
we like dogs. We own a garden, and we like gardens,
too. But we fail to see that doing to death one of God's
own creatures in cold blood is justified by any e:on'sidera-
tion. If anyone is failing down on the job, it is the dog -
owner for not keeping 'close enough watch on his pet, If
he values his dog, wlhy shouldn't he take some care of it',
• From our neutral perch, we think there may be
fault on both sides. But for the sake,'of the dogs—and
the gardens—let us have a .solution ,at, once, even if the
Town Council is forced to pass a bylaw to protect the
dog owners from losk g their own dogs.
LATE SEEDING MAY PRODUCE
FAIR YIELDS
A'lthough Huron County finds itself in a serious
enough position regarding late seeding, 'generally
.speaking, the situation is not as bad here 'as in
some 'other counties, partiicul'arily to the north and east
of here, and is mot entirely hopeless.
Evidence to this effect is given by John D. Mac-
Leod, Director of the •Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch,
Ontario Department of Agriculture, from a five-year ex-
periment which was concluded let the Central Experimental
• Farm, O'tttawa, • inn which barley s'eede'd on June 1 yielded
34.2 bushels per acme; on June 15, 29.5 (bushels per acre;
and on July 1, 22.7 bushels per acre. Alaska oats seeded
on June 1 yielded 45.2 bushels per 'acre ; on June 15, 35.7
bushels; and on July 1, 14.6 'bushels,
Using this as a guide, Mr. MacLeod makes the
following . 'recommendations:
1. That barley be sown either done or in 'a mixture
with. early oasts and buckrt;tfeat 'as .soon 'as 'possible and
up to July 1.
2. That early oats be not ,sown: Malone after the middle
of June.
3. That consideration be given to seeding the follow-
ing seed mixtures as early 'ars possible in June and up to
July 1;—(a) Alaska or Cattier oats, 50 pounds; OAC.
No. 21 barley, 50 pounds, a total ;of 100 pounds per acre.
(lb) Ajax oatts, 50 pounds; Barlboff or Galore barley, 50
pounds, a total rate of seeding of 100 pounds per sere.
(!c) Barley, one bushel; buckrwthealt, 3 to 4 pecks per 'acre.
In addition to the above mixtures ,early maturing
varieties of hybrid corny barley, soy 'beans, grain millets
and 'buckwh'eat may still be sown,

District fanners are of the iepinion that prices will
not be affected very greatly by this week's further de-
control of prices of iagricullbural products. In fact, some
suggest that prices may go slightly lower in an open
market, especially butter fat this season of the year.
