The .de- ceased man, who had been in failing health since early in the summer had gone to the hospital for treatment a- bout a week previous to his death, and an operation was necessary. He survived the operationwhich was for a disease considered incurable, only about two days. IIe had spent sev- eral weeks earlier in -the summer in the hospital, but returned to his home, as he was feeling somewhat bettor.

Herman Moll, whose name is known to all interested in the early snaps of the world, was born in Holland ,and came to England . in 1635. While in holland he was trained in the art of map making and when he came to England he made individual maps of the cities of England and. Scotland. A num- ber of copies of his works are ;to be. seen in the map room of the Domin- ion Arehives ;and his maps and his early atlas,• Which was compiled be- tween 1700 and 1720, are of unusual interest. In an early map of North America, which ..is .remarkably accurate for that early •dat.e, it is noted'that, he calls Florida Louisianna and other discrepancies 'are . clearly depicted. In the same may he pictures Cali forma' as' an Island, a ,befief,whicfi was rampant at that date. t I ' the'p s icture which accompany is :Moll's, maps which have made them •famous.' They are valuable- :and have been copied • for use as lamp- shades and even in decorating rooms of houses "A view of the manner in which the fishing for,• curing and drying of cod fish is made is one of the notable ;pictures he made. The 'scene is depicted at ''New Found Laud" . and is colored. Immediately it is seen that the habit of the 'fish- erman is almost identical with the clothes :they, use;.today', the long 'rub- ber boots and the short coat and ap- ron. The fishing boats, with their masts, and the women engaged in drying the cod is veryrealistic and it is quiekly seen that Moll had, an artist's eye for the beautiful and the unusual as well.

GIVE •INTERESTINGG RESULTS As a result of experiments with Sow Thistle carried on by the De- partment of Agricutlure ore the farm of W. D: "Hyslop, • Stratford, July plowing and thorough subsequent cultivation seems to be the most suc- cessful' and econcimidal' method of controling• Sow Thistle. - Late . sown Barley and a• double crap- of Buck- wheat' are also ' giving satisfactory results when the growing season is sultabie: '• The experiments were conducted in a field so badly infested with, Sow Thistle' that the 1920 crop 'of mixed grainwas a,failure, yielding only •15 bushels per acre. lslot I 'was plowed October 25, 1929 and sown to 'Barley June lst 1930. This crop came along very, nicely and gives evidence of a' very satisfactory yield, Plot 2 was disked in August and 'Mowed in, October, and was sown to Buckwheat on' May' 9th. This crop was plowed down the middle of lune and resown to Buckwheat the,last week of June. riot 3 was 'disked in August of last year. plowed in October and sown to mixed grain and seeded down on May 9th. Plot 4 was plowed in :7uly, allowed to dry out 3 weeks and worked the remainder of the FMA. Mixed grain was sown on May 8th. One acre in -each plot was fertil- izecl wia 2-12-6 mur. at the rate of 3th75;pounds perixtacre,e, RESULTS The fertilized areas showed a narked increase in stand over un- fertilized areas. Fertilized plots would appear to yield from 5 to 10 bushels per acre more than the un- fertilized portions. Sow Thistle is still present in all four plots bat very little of it in Meta 1, 2 and 4 developed suffi- ciently to bloom. PIot 4 will yield a heavy crop of at least 45 bushels per acre, with very little of the Thistle getting a- bove the grain. Plot 3 yielded only a fair crop of perhaps 85 bushels per acre with a considerable amount of Sow Thistle bloom. Plot 2 with the late sown Bucic- wheat by actual count had the small- est number of Sow Thistle plants per square yard of any of the four plots. Plot .l sown late will yield a g'o'od crop of barley providing weather conditions are, favourable. An enthusistic eyening meeting of some 60 farmers was held.on Mr. H:vslop's farm on Friday, August 8. C. 'D. Graham, Agricultural Re- presentative for Perth County acted. as Chairman. Mr. J. A. Carroll, Di - actor of the Crops and Markets Branch, Toronto,- outlined the experi- ments and pointed out the results that had been obtained. Dr. 11 E. Stone, of the Botany Department, 0.A.C., discussed general principals in killing weeds: In answer to en- quiries with, regard to Chemical Weed .Killers, Dr. Stone outlined sev- oral experiments that had been con- ducted. IIe summed up the re- sults by saying that Chemical. Weed Killers would. play an, important part in Ontario Agriculture, but up .to'thn present with cetrain weather condi- tions there appeared tp be atoxic af- ter effect with some of the chemicals • which is injurious to the succeeding crop. Mr. II. G. Bell of the Chemis- try Depatrment, O.A.C., Guelph out- lined the use of fertilizer on farm crops and pointed out how fertilizers assisted. in Weed Control by giving the grain crop a quick start in the Spring and, thereby enabling . it to 'keep -ahead of the weeds. ' Mr. 'Hyslop states that every day all through the growing'season peo- ple interested in the progress of the experiments..hav,e stopped to inspect the field.

PREVENTING FIRES It is up to the motorist to see that no destructive forest fire starts from a cigarette or cigar stub thrown from his car. Until the first of October and even laterthere is constant dan- ger of bush fires, and lives and pro- perty are menaced whenever fire is carelessly, handled by tourists or campers. The State fire Chiefs As- sociation of the state of Oregon has under consideration and sponsoring of a bill making it compulsory for motorists to install receptacles in their motor cars for the disposal of lighted matches, cigar and cigarette stumps, and expect to present it to ;the 1931 session of the Legislature for enactment. ' In Canada there is no law which compels the installa- tion of any such equipment, and it is pointed out that ' the • law itself would.be useless without a spirit of co-operation on the part of the mot- orist. Regardless of legal enact- ments, . however, strictest caution should be observed when touring along highways which border the forests. • "Dr. C. .r. Hamilton, ex-M.P., is well' known as a good physician, but we'll have to tell you a true story to .show that he has also qualified as a good nurse.. Going • into a home where there were four perfectly good' Conservative' votes, and asking the voters to exercise their franchise on behalf of Mr. Shaver, the Doctor was told by one of the young women that she couldn't go because she had no person to care for ,her baby, a child of some three or four months. ' "Get into your clothes," said the Doctor, "and I will act as nurse while you are gone," So till mother, leaving the infant in Dr.. Hamilton's ,arms, and hire others for him to Look after. besides,; and the young woman's par- ents and sister were all placed in a waiting automobile and conveyed to the polling booth and all were thus enabled to vote at the one time, giv- ing Mr. Shaver quite a boost from one household. This was the; last act Dr. 'Hamilton, performed for his friend,. Mr. Shaver, in the strenuous •campaign in which he played such an important part. We • might add that Mr. Shaver was elected.." CHANGE IN COLOUR SCHEME, Next year's .license plate'' color scheme -is to be somewhat changed. After having black lettering on a white background or vice versa, for such a number of years, black letter- ing on an pld gold background • will give 'a snappier appearance. Sample plates have already been stamped and on them, "Ont. 1981" will appear at the top of the marker instead of" at the bottom as in former years, as this will snake it the easier ,seen. The bolt holes will also be macre at the tole of the plate. HOW IS' IT WITH ,YOUR BOY? Scores' of folks, are asking them- selves, now that their youngsters have passed the entrance exams. what they ate to do With him. When thereis a school where steam is put into a boy there is nothing like send- ing.liim to school till he has at least passed the matriculation examina- tion. That 'stage is a vantage point whence he may betake himself on at least a dozen routes to the land of making a living for himself. This suggestion is offered on the condi- tion that the boy is not lazy and that he is not a smart ales and that the school he attends is the real thing. If any of these three conditions exist there is no place where a youth, eith- er male or female, may so disas- trously waste time, and money as at High School: 'Exeter Times -Advo- cate. TIIE TOLL WILL BE HEAVY In .1,928, the last year. for ` which complete -statistics were available, 4028 persons were drowned in the Dominion of Canada, as against 1,081 automobile fatalities.
