SPITE OF BAD
WEATHER
There was a very good attendance

ing the weather, which was the
worst in. the history of the society,
snow, sleet and rain alternating.
There never was a show before when
they showed teams with sleighs and
cuttersas they did Tuesday. The
classes were fairly well filled but
the stock exhibited was very fine,
many remarks on its exeel'lenee be-
ing heard. The following is the list

HURON FARMERS IN-
TERESTED IN .BET-
TER SEED AND
FERTILIZERS
A
series of .fifteen Weed, Seed
• Fertilizer ertilizer meetings' were held in
Heron County February 24th to
11farch .8th. These' meetings were
under the direction` of the Ontario
Department ' of Agriculture, Clinton,
and were so arranged as to cover the
entire county. In all 825 farmers
attended these meetings making an
'average of '55 at each of the follow-
ing centres:- • ,
Clinton, Blyth, Dungannon Au-
burn, Walton, Brussels, gingham,
Fordwich, Wiroxeter, Belgrave, Varna,
Hensall, Zurich, Crediton and Sea -
forth.
Subjects ;dealing with Better Seed
were :discussed. The results of the
seed drill survey made h the pro -
'vi -nee of Ontario would indicate that
more care was necessary in prepar-
ation of grain for seeding, ^ In that
survey it was found that 34% of the
seed being. .sown graded rejected.
This •can be improved upon at little
or no expense and methods of im-
provement were recommended. The
matter of standard varieties of grain
was dealt with and fawners were
strongly advised to sow only reliable
home grown varieties that had yield-
ed well under test, Control meas
ares for smuts of cereal•_ crops were
given and methods outlined which
would check these diseases in 'such
crops. The weed 'situation and the
weed act were under discussion. Far-
mers thrughout, the county are real-
izing the necessity of co-operating
and are ready to lend their support
in snaking this act now effective and
tense of greater ,value. Soil fertil-
ity touching on drainage, crop rota-
tion, fertilizers and lime proved a
Very timely and interesting subject.
Drainage forms the building stone of
all soil fertility work. Crop rotations
play a large part in controlling weeds
and disease and maintaining soil fere
tility: The subject of commercial
fertilizer ceneerns almost every far-
mer, Tonage of fertilizer applica-
tions is increasing annually and in -
'formation relating to commercial fer-
tilizers proved of interest to all far-
mers attending these meetings.
The subjects of Better Seed, Stand-
ard varieties, Smut control measures
and the Weed Act were dealt with
by Mr. C. E. Toole, of Newmarket
Discussions in soil fertility problems
were dealt with by G. A. Mc,Cague,
agricultural representative.
FIRST WHEAT SHIPPED OVER
HUDSON BAY ROUTE IN
ARCHIVES
Lord Willingdon, governor general
of Canada, made a presentation last
week to the Dominion Archives of a
small bag of wheat, containing about
a pound of excellent grain, which
had been sent him by the )Hudson Bay
Company. The bag was marked No.
1, so it is judged that Lord 'Willing-
ton was the first to receive a sample'
of the wheat. At the same time the
Dominion Archives received a sample
pound marked 14.
The letter which accompanied the
portion which was sent the Dominion
Archives is of interest to Canadians
at the present time and will be inter-
esting history for generations to
cone, The letter reads:
London, January 3rd,.1930
Dr. A. G. Doughty,
Dominion Archives, Ottawa,
Dear Sir: We have pleasure in
sending for your acceptance a sample
of. Canadian Wheat, 1.929arras being
part of the _First • shipment by the new
route from. the Prairies via' Huiison,
Bay to the United. State Kin'gclom,
This shipment; prepared by Messrs.
James'Ilacha'dson and Sons, Ltd„ of
Winnipeg, was made passible by the
courtesy of Ilon. Charles Dunning,
Canadian Minister of Railways, who
kindly gave facilities for the use of
the temporary rails as soon as they
were laid to Churchill in the month of
September. The permanent way, the
terminal works, the docks and grain.
elevators are in course of construc-
tion and will all be ready for opera-
tion when the harbor works are com-
pleted in 1931.
This event will open a new chapter
in the history of Churchill so named
in 1688 in honor of John Churchill
the first Duke of Marlborough' and
governor of Hudson Bay Company'.
from 1685 to 1691. The selection ,of
this port as the terminus of the rail-
way adds. "interest to the following
extracts from the Company's record,
London Minute Book; 13th October;"
1866; "Captain Albraham, .late Gov-
ernor at Port Neilson, .came before
ye committee acquainteing yens of his
proceedings yere & how he did ye
last Spring sayle. 50 Leagues north-
ward of Port Nelson & discovered
there a faire river. Ordered he bring
in writeing the said discovery."
'smitten Minute Book, 8th Feb-
ruary 1688: "This Committee does
resolve and agree as fofoweth:That
Churchill River be settled this year
with a good shippe, a compenent car-
goe,for Trade and Materials for
White Wjhale fishings.
Churchill Report of Chief Factor,
Thomas Staynes, 1797; "The harbour
of Churchill is the finest in the bay,
for the'ship, and where her cargoes
could be the soonest discharged."
Yours' faithfully,
Charles V. Sales, Governor.
The shipping' tag which accompan-
ies the bag contains an interesting
note and reads: "For over 250 years
the vessels of the Hudson Bay Com-
pany have made their annual voyages
from Great Britain to the shores of
the hudson Bay.
Tho construction of a new railway
to the enterior opens a new era in
transportation to and from the Prair-
ie Provinces and to mark this event
the Hudson Bay Company have tran-
sported this wheat from Winnipeg
over the temporary rails of the Hud-
son Bay Company (by courtesy of
Hon. Charles Dunning, Minister of
Raihvys) to Churchill, thence over-
seas to Liverpool where it was landed
by the Company's steam. ship Nes-
copic on the IOth.:eof October, 1929.
DUNGANNON: Mfr. and Mrs.
Samuel Pentland, esteemed residents
of Dungannon for the past fifteen
years, celebrated their golden wed-
ding anniversary at their home Mon-

uel Pentland, son of the late John

'1'IIE WOMEN CAN ASSIST
There are not enough opporti ni-!
ties afforded the women of the O-
kanagan Valley to hear addresses on
the topics of the day. The larger
communities have service dubs,
Boards of Trade and branches of the
Canadian Club, whose activities, at
least partly, are to secure speakers
to deliver addresses for ,the benefit.
of their members. In this way the
men of the community, or those of
them who desire to, can keep at
least partially abreast of the times.
What about the large number of in-
telligent and well-read women? In
the present scheme of things they
must sit at home, and from their
menfolk, or the newspapers; hear
and read of the matters 'discussed
before the clubs and organizations.
What is the result? The women
are at a disadvantage. It :may be
true that many of them have .no .de-
sire for the advantages and the
broadening 'irofluences which con-
sideration of greater prebems bring.
If so, it is probaby due to a stifling
of early desires for a share in the
larger affairs. Anyone who studies
the matter at all ken that our
Canadian women have the capacity
for participation in the affaires of
the community and the nation,' and
that in virtually shutting them out
the communities are losing • much
valuable help.
In evory one of the activities of
the communities the women are,
should be, or will be, deeply inter-
ested when they participate in them,•
And the community which, thorugh
a realignment of its organizations or
a broadening of them, ,encourages
the women to active assistance, will
secure the friendly help of a new
and enthusiastic body of zealous,
competent workers. -Vernon (B,C,)

ASK CHAIN OF AIRPORTS IN
CANADA
A coast to coast chain of airports
across Canada is the suggestion of
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
which is pressing tor such action in
the interests of Canadian aviation,
The Chamber proposes that some of
these airports be provided by the
Dominion Government, in eases
where the local municipalities are not
in a position to provide then, and
where they are necessary for the
transcontinental airway.
Most of the large cities in the
country are now fairly well equipped
with airports, but great distances
separate them, and in the present
stage of aviation it is felt that there
is need for intermediate stations, if
commercial aviation is to develop as
it should.
HELPFUL HINTS
White of egg used instead of wa-
ter in mixing a mustard poultice
prevents the skin from blistering.
A little white of egg spread over
a burn promptly, eases the pain and
prevents the formation of blisters.
A little lemon juice in a glass of
water snakes an excellent tooth and
mouth wash.
'Warm a knife -board before using
ib and the knives will polish easily.
