ME CLINTON MINTS -RECORD; Loss by Potato Blight Investigations' "show t -'.that the farmer may lose as/much ae fifty, per cent. of his ',stored potatoe, crop• -due' chiefly to the ;action of tinier rots particularly`;that caused Eby; late ,(the so-called dry rot);, „While thi,5 rot':, does ' R.Ot comonly spread, fiom'tuber to tuber in thwe hint under poor conditions this injury paves the -way for'' organism's •producing other rots that do spread and cause' heavy losses. Much of the loss can be avoid- ed by ren ov`ahg all late blight -infect, ad tubers. There' are also other tub- er -rotting fungi capable of causing enormous losses, The following com- bination ':of precautions is •suggested: (1) Prevent digger and handling in- juries. (2),Control the blight foliage infection., (3) Avoid exposing poi" tatoes • to temperature below 30 de- grees F. and above 48 degrees F. 4) Maintain good ventilation; conditions in the storage house or basement Testing the Wheat .Crop During recent weeks some splendid work has been done in testing the baking qualities of, Canada's 1929' wheat crop at 'Trent Institute, the School of Commercial Baking at 0. A. C. ]Both the hard spring wheat of the western provinces and the softer Hinter wheat of Ontario have been under test. The report oh the'former is that the quality is in every way superior to the two previous crops, while the Ontario product, which, is usle.d chiefly in cake -making; is said to be superior in both milling. and baling qualities to that produced, in 1928. There is no evidence of sprout ed wheat, which was the cause of some difficulty in handling last year's crop. On the other hand, the pro- tein is lower, but on the whole it ap• pears to be of excellent quality, Beekeeping Progress In connection with the recent con- vention of the Ontario Beekeepers' Association, Prof, E. Eric Millen of 0. A. C., secretary, points out that remarkable changes hada taken place in the beekeeping industry dur- ing the past fifty years. From an uncertain side line fifty years ago to a commercial undertaking ' today, many members now measure their erop by the ton in place of pounds. For instance, one Ontario, beekeeper, J. L. Byer, of Markham, operates about 1200 colonies. ^ There was an -xceptionally goad crop of honey in Ontario last year and two residents of the province took first and second prizes ,for honey at the dairy show in London, England, while for the sev- enth consecutive year Ontario bee- keepers carried oft • the .highest honors. Ontario Party pit Chicago Sixteen girls and fourteen boys from. Ontario farms comprised the party which journeyed to Chicago during the first week of December to attend the boys' and Girls' Club Congress in connection with the Inte2nxational Live Stock Exposi- tion. They were the winners of judging contests in their respective counties by virture of which their ex- penses were defrayed by local organ- izations. F. C. Patterson, ag+ricult- "ural representative for Norfolk, was in charge of the trip, and Mrs. Cook chaperone. In Chicage they joined a party of 1500 young American boys and girls in a six day program which included not only the live stock expos- ition but tours of\the city and one or two of the larger packing plants.

The post office is also again at- tempting to discourage the use of small cards • and envelopes in the mails. .In the first place there is danger of such mail not reaching•its proper destination before Christmas because the cancellation . stamp, which is placed on all matter' at the post office, oftimes obliterates ad- dresses. Then again there is not suf- ficient space for direction for for warding in cases where it is neces- sary to forward such matter in order to reach their addresses. Po -operation of ,manufacturers, dealers and the public generally in ,the elimination of small siz'ed cards, to the 'end that the Postal Service niay be relieved of the burden of handling them, is desired and should continue to be sought and.cultivated. It is suggested that in no case should the card or envelope be smaller than 2r by 4 inehes, a size somewhat larger being preferrable. • EXETER: A quiet but pretty wedding took place at the James Street parsonage. on Wednesday af- ternoon, November 20th, when Miss Erna E.
