'My child!" crooned the river when
I came to it one day.
' My child!" it murmured softly, I
had been long away,
"my child!" the river welcomed nie,
forgetting I was grey.
"My little one!" the oak said, the
mighty voice was mild,-
little one!' its leaves shone as
though its spirit smiled.
"My- little one, come hither!" as I
were yet a ohild.

While on •a recent holiday I had
the
privilege, and it really was a
privilege, of spending two or three
days at a reunion at the home of
my birth, the village of Flesberton,
I have not lived in Flesherten since
I was a ehild and have visited it but
Seldom, as there are very few living
there new whom I know and they.
grow fewer each year. But several
members of my family were attend-
ing the Old Home Week,. the first in
the history of the village, and I went
along. Somehow I was not anticip-
ating much from the event except
the pleasure of being for the time in
the company of my family. But
the result far outran my anticipa-
tions. Probably everyone \vho has
attended an Old Home Reunion has
had the same experience. We met
people whom we had not met since
childhood. They came from all over
Canada and many from the States
of the Union, boys and girls grown
grey and with the !narks of maturity
upon thein, all gathering home to the
old village for a few days of relax-
ation, freedom from care, to renew
the memories of youth. We called
each other by our . first names, we
visited together former haunts, we
looked again upon the old home
which in childhood had sheltered us.
In my own case this was in the hands
of kind people who allowed us to go
through the house and recall old
memories, some happy, some sad,
for we had not been beneath its roof
before since early youth.' We atten-
ded service in the old church where
we had first been taken by our par-
ents. The edifice had no appearance
of strangeness, it looked just as of
yore, only the minister was an alien,
although be was a former pastor
back for the occasion, The choir
was made up of former members,
some of whom were members in the
long ago. And our memories went
back to the annual Sunday school en-
tertainments when wehad arisen in
fear and trembling to "say a piece,"
to the dear old Sunday school teach-
er, long' since gone to her rest, and
the many occasions when we atten-
ded services in the old church. There
was a larger congregation than is
usual, as more than half of them
were visitors, and after the service
we greeted old friends and met new
ones. Later we attended a reception
in the park, a lovely little natural
park which was formerly a "com-
mon" where school children played.
Several old boys spoke .-and were
presented with a key to the town.
(They never give a woman a chance
to speak in public), but during it all
we were impatient for the speaking
to cease so we could . go around
amongst the crowd and look for old•
friends. On the Monday there were
water sports on a little gem of a
lake "Flesher's Pond," in which our
brothers used to fish, a clear beau-
tiful little sheet of water, surround-
ed by wooded slopes, in which there
were swimming races, etc. Later
in the day a flag, presented by the
homecoming old boys and girls, was
unfurled, the lady to whom the hon-
our fell being the daughter of the
man for whom the place was named,
Mrs. Alice Sproule, widow of Dr. T.
S. Sproule, former speaker of the
House of Commons. Our party left
during the afternoon, having to leave
the park where games and races were
in progress, to catch a train.
Flesherton has less than five hun-
dred of a population but itis a smart
clean looking little town with sev-
eraI natural advantages, one of
'whieh is a wide square in the centre
of the town, in which the flag was
hoisted. The citizens had improved
the occasion by putting their resi-
dences and places of business in the
best possible shape and the programa
of entertainments' put on during the
four days' reunion would have done
credit to a much larger place. They
were ably assistedby former resi-
dents now living in Toronto, who
early organized and who raised over
$1,000 towards the expenses, It was
a most impressive sight when the
Toronto contingent motored in, on
Sunday morning, one 'hundred cars
or ` more, headed by a military band
in uniform, playing "Home, "Sweet
Home."
Old Home" gatherings are to be
commended. It gives the home com-
munity a chance to welcome its ab-
sent sons and daughters who have
gone out and made their mark, or
failed to make it, in the world and it
gives the sons and daughters a
chance to visit the old home commun-
ity under circumstances which .are
pleasant and refreshing, Individual
visits are apt to leave a lonfly,
homesick feeling.
It
is only small
communities which ,can have these
gatherings. Rural communities and
small townsand villages exist only,
it would seem, that they may, rear,
train and ,educate men and women to
be swallowed up in the great centres
and it is 'well occasionally that these
should come together at the place
of their birth to revisit old scenes
and recall their youth. It makes for
wholesomeness and kindly human-
ness, and shows that while they are
in the treadmill of the ` big cities,
they have not forgotten the home of
their birth and their innocent child-
hood years.
The tendency after a holiday, no
matter how short its duration, is to
a feeling that the peak is past, the
summer pretty well over and there is
nothing to look forward to.
This is a natural reaction, after
having spent days, weeks perhaps,
in preparing for and looking forward
to the holiday, which is spent in do-
ing unusual things, seeing unusual
slights and meeting and mingling
with different people.
But a holiday which is worthy the -
name should not only be enjoyable
but it should fit us for renewed ef-
forts in regard to our work; it should
bring us back full of energy and
vim, ready to attack hard problems
to attempt new and difficult tasks.
And, if we are at all wise about
choosing our holiday, it will do just
that, To the manual worker, the
one whose hands and body are en-
gaged constantly in their work, a
restful holiday is the best. They
should take plenty of sleep, prefer-
ably in the open air, taking mild
exercise to keep the body fit, and
plain, wholesome food. The brain
worker, on the other hand, may wish
an active holiday. He or she may
Want to be on the move, also pre-
ferably in the open air, tramping or
rowing or swimming or playing
games. The body should be tired
out with that delicious tiredness
which a few hours rest will com-
pletely cure. It is not at all like the
tiredness which descends upon one
as the result of months on end of
exacting toil of either Body or brain
or both. The brain worker, that is
the one whose brain works harder
than the body all_the time, is apt to
get too little physical exercise. So
it is essential that at intervals he or
she should either in work or in play,
exert the body sufficiently so that
body wastes may be carried off;
That is the reason that an active
holiday is best for the brain worker.
Care must be taken that physical ex-
ercise is not overdone, but an ordin-
ary bit of fatigue will not hurt any
healthy, normal person.
Young people, of course, like
"something doing -every minute" of
their holiday. No matter how hard
they work at •home they are not con-
tent to "take it easy" during a holi-
day. Except that they do not object
usually to taking a long sleep in the
morning. The evening, which often
stretches far into the night or the
noxa morning, is the time for action
with them. Those of us who are.
more mature in years find the night
best for sleep, the lovely, sunlit days
for activity. But youth sees things
through other. eyes and seems to like
to turn night into day. This would-
n't so much matter if the day were
always spent in resting but often this
is not possible. Conditions may not
allow of sufficient rest during the
day and the result may be that the
holidayer comes home more tired
than when he or she went away.
Solve -good colnmon sense .should be
used in choosing and in spending a
holiday if the best results are to be
obtained.
REBEKAH
After. Harvest Cultivation
Special article written for Clinton
"News -Record," . by W. R. Reek, Dir-
ector, Experimental Farm, Ridge -
town, Ontario.
RIDGETOWN, July 5th—Profits
from farm crops are determined af-
ter the cost of production, has been
deducted; many factors enter into
this cost, but among them are: pre-
paration of seed bed, control of
weeds, use of larger power units, co-
operation with natural forces, seed,
fertilizer, taxes, etc.
Wleeds rob the growing crops of
moisture, plant food and standing
room and reduce the price of the
grain sold. This is particularly' true
of some such as Sow Thistle, Twitch,
Bindweed' and many others to a
greater or lesser degree. Weeds
have to be combatted according to
the nature of their growth. Sun-
light is one of the best partners the
fanner has in the eradication of
weeds. A plant uprooted during the
heat of the summer will die. Nature
has assisted the weed to exist and
multiply, but will also assist the far-,
mer effectively . in cleaning the land
if effort is put forth at the proper
'time.
Labor is scarce and expensive;
small power units are corresponding-
ly expensive. Pour and six horse
teams should be used wherever pos•
sible by, one man, whereas twenty-
five years ago it was seldom that
more than twohorses were driven by.
one man.
Power machinery is rapidly re-
placing human and ehorse labor. Old
methods will not suffice' under new
conditions because one man now has
tocover far more acres in "the same
period of time and he roust 'accom-
plish 'more per slay. .Applied intel-
ligence is rapidly replacing sheer
muscular endeavor.
Weed control ''because of existing
conditions and because of the toll
taken during the past fifteen years
must become an integral part of the
regular ,farm programme lest the re-
turns per acre prove so small that it
will be profitable no longer to cul
ovate thousands of the most fertile
acres in ;the Province.
After -'harvest cultivations is one
of the surest methods of controlling
weeds because the summer heat will
assist. Tho extent; that this practice
should be followed Will depend upon
the amount of hoe crop which may be
grown, The plants are weakest when
the seed is ripened;: for destructive
purposes the attack should be made,
if possible, immediately previous in
order to prevent ripening of the
current year's seed as well as fight-
ing a weakened root.
When crops have been removed 11
shallow ploughing or deep discing
will kill the young plants and in-
duce seeds to sprout provided there
is sufficient 'moisture.Power im-
plements will permit this operation
in short periods of time and will en-
able tlie farmer to work, a field
though hard and: dry.
Plants cannot grow unless leaves
are developed -prevent growth above
the ground. A weekly discing or cul-
tivating during August is an excel-
lent method. Keep the ground bare.
Sow Thistle and Twitch are two
of the most difficult to combat:
Plough rather deeply after harvest.
and leave rough provided the land
will become thoroughly dried; the
heat and lack of moisture will go far
in definitely killing the roots. If
growth eo�nmences weekly cultivation
must be resorted to in order that
growth niay be prevented. Smother-
ing will then take place, or in other
words, the plant will be ,deprived of
food. Gathering and hauling, Twitch
off the land is too expensive. Deep
ploughing is effective against Twitch
-the roots are buried so deeply that
only the stronger ones are- able to
reach the surface and unless allowed
to develop leaves will not send out
creeping rootstalks under the sur -
feed,
Work put upon the land to control
weeds is of value in that the soil Is
in better condition for the succeeding
crop. For Fall Wheat, early, culti-
vation provides a fine, firm seed bed
which is required. Wherever sum-
mer cultivation is not followed, the
weeds though cut at harvest time re-
cuperate and may ripen seed that
season or store up energy for a re-
newed attack and spread the follow-
ing season.
•Consider after -harvest cultivation
as one of the jobs that must be done.
EXETER: The Depart-
ment of Public Works,
Ottawa, are calling for tenders for
a new postoffice for Exeter. Blue-
prints, plans and specifications are
now on exhibition at the postoffice.
The plans call for a one -storey build-
ing with a 26 foot frontage to be
erected in the centre of what is call-
ed Federal Park. The specifacations
call for the building to be completed
six months after the contract is
awarded. --Exeter Times -Advocate,
