hibition mile by the famous Little 'Cal
unlet Calculation, fastest •free leg pacer
in Canada owned by Jini Brown of
New Liskeard. Calumet Calculation
lowered the track record held by the

The Potato Crop
The 19317- Ontario potato crop is
well -cleared from most districts. There
are practically no potatoes for sale
within 100 miles' of Toronto. The mar-
ket advanced 30c to 40c per bag and'
wholesale dealers will pay 80c to 55c
for good 'firm potatoes delivered at the
warehouse, There are a few thousand
bags of Ontarios in storage. The
planting of 'Irish Cobblers is 'less than
in 1937, but some growers have sub-
stituted -Katandins for early planting
and this crop will' be harvested close-
ly after the early Cobblers. The acre-
age planted to Katandins has been
greatly increased and that of Dooleys
decreased. There will be a slight re-
duction in the acreage •of late pota-
toes. Planting has been earlier on ac-
count of an early spring and also the
desire of many growers to get better
maturity and be able 'to harvest earlier
so as to avoid possible frost damage.
The new :crap in Ontario has been
slow in starting on account of cool
weather conditions since early plant-
ing time. Frost on May 34th caused
damage in the Dundas and Burling-
ton districts. In Ontario County, too.
the advanced Cob,b'lers were injured
but not destroyed.
New Bulletins on Poultry Disease and
Potatoes
Two new bulletins .have recently
been issued by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture, both prepared by
members of the staff at the O.A.C,
One is on poultry diseases which
give, the latest and best information
on poultry diseases and treatment, in-
cluding sanitation and fumigation of
incubators. Nutritional diseases as
well as communicablee diseases are
considered.
The other bulletin is .on potato pro-
duction. It outlines the good and bad
points of leading varieties, discusses
fertilizers, soil preparation, seed disin-
fecting, time rate and depth of plant-
ing and gives directions 'for control of
blight and insect pests. There is also
information on harvesting, grading
and storing. Copies may be secured
from the Statistics and Publications
Branch, Ontario Department of Agri-
culture, Parliament Buildings, Toron-
to.
Field Crop Prospects
Crops con'di'tions in Ontario at the
znd of the first week of June were de-
cidedly promising. Seeding of spring
grains was completed early this sea-
son and germination was very good,
with the resu'lt'that most 'fields have a
very even stand. Cool weather during
the last 'h'alf •of May with frost retard-
ed growth, but did not cause any seri-
ous damage. Frost injury was .confined
chiefly to early strawberry blossom's
in Western 'Ontario and early pota-
toes in the Hamilton area. Moisture
supplies are reported good to excel-
lent throughout most of Ontario.
The numerical condition of spring
grains at the .first of `Jenne was report-
ed at about 98 per cent of normal, as
compared with 93 per cent at the
same date in each of the two previous
years. ,Fall wheat is about ten days
further advanced than :usual. The
condition 'figure at the first of June
for :fall wheat and fall rye, at 96 per
cent normal, was practically the same
as in 111937 and '1936. New saedings 'of
hay and clover and pastures are excel-
lent in all sections of the Province.
Old stands of alfalfa suffered consid-
erable winter lolling in Central and
tiVestern Ontario, 'hut a'fi hay and clo-
ver fields are making good growth and
for the province as a whole a heavy
hay crop is in prospect.
Observes 66th
Anniversary
Large Crowd Attend Anniversary of.
Trinity Church, Belgrave
For 66 years, Trinity Church, Bell -
grave, has served the Church of Eng-
land people in the community, On
Sunday last, June 26th, a crowd Of
'happy people met once again to offer
thanks to Gad for the great 'benefits.
bestowed in the past, to honor the
memory of the founders 'of the his-
toric church, and to rededicate them-
selves anew to the great canoe of
Christ and His 'Church. •
The 'music of the two anniversary
services, which was ander the direc-
tion of .Miss (Nora Vastcanap, organist,"
was of a very . .high order. At the
morning service, . the choir sang the
age-old chant: "Te ,Deum Laudamus,"
the Church's Hymn of Thanksgiving.
The "Jubilate" and 'the "Venite" also
struck a note 'of thanksgiving. During
the offertory; the anthem: "0, for a
thousand tongues to sing my great
Redeemer's praise," was sung very
effectively. The double duet in the an-
them was 'taken by Mrs. Wm.
Budges and Mrs. Marks, soprano,
and ,Mrs. C. \Vade and Mrs, IN.
Geddes, alto; Mrs. R. M. Weekes and
Mrs. N. Montgomery sang the single
duet. 'Mr. James McCrae offered a
'beautuiful solo: Wearer my God to
Thee." Special 'hymns and prayers
were also used at this service,
Those who had worked and wor-
shipped in Trinity Church, and who
were now in Paradise, 'were especial-
ly remembered by a moment's sil-
ence which was broken by the 'consol-
ing words of the prayer "Requiescat
in Pace," after which the .congrega-
tion and choir joined in the hymn;
"For all the saints who from their
labors rest."
The rector, Rev, R. 'M. 'Weekes,
preached the sermon, taking as his
subject: "Adventurers For 'God, He
said that the pioneers were advent-
urers for God. They built this !church
that we, their children, 'tight worship
in it. They built in •faith believing that
we too would be faithfuul to the
cause which was so near to their
hearts.
Rev, Dr. 'R. P. D. Hurford, rector
of $t. Thomas' Church, Seaforth, was
the preacher at the evening service.
He based his remarks on the words.
of the Psalmist: "Bless the Lord, 0
my soul, and forget not all His'bane-
fit;," He pointed +out that many of.
the blessings which God bestows
upon us are very often taken for
granted. The 'blessings of 'home, of
health, of loved ones, and of the
Church, were conte .which were fne-
quently. overlooked. He urged his
hearers to 'forget mot all His (bene-
fits," 'but to render thanks to Al-
mighty God, giving Hint the hohor
due unto His Name,"
Mr. Stanley Sibthorpe, of Blyth,
was the guest soloist at this service,
offering the solo: 'Anchored "Feat"
He was accompanied at the organ 'by
Miss Louise Herrington, also of
Blyth. The words of the anthem sung
by the choir were "Praise the Lord."
Mrs. R. M. Weekes and Mr. 'James
McCrae took the solo parts in the
anthem. The 'obligato was sung by
Mrs, C. Wade and Mrs. IN. 'Geddes.
"The Magnifreat" was sung to a'beau-
tiful setting, and the "Nuns Dimittis"
was also sung very effectively,
The First Lesson was read by•Rev.
J. B. Townend, pastor of 'the ad -
grave United Church.
Beautiful bouquets of pink and
white chrysanthemums, with tali
spikes of blue delphinium with roses,
enhanced the beauty of the sanctuary
and chancel.
Those from a 'distance attending
these services were Mr. and Mrs,
George Hunter and spn Earl, of Sas-
katchewan; Misses Lizzie and Rach-
el McCurdy, of 'W'inghain, and a 'bro-
ther, Mr. Geonge McCurdy, of Sas-
katchewan, and Mrs. Louis Hayes, of
Ilyria, Ohio, U.S.A. These .were all
former members of Trinity Church,
Belgrave.
The congregation of Trinity Church
look back to the past .years with
thanksgiving, and to -the. future with
faith, resolving to work ,and worship
faithfully, passing on to future •gen-
'erations something of; the :glorious
heritage that the founders ..of this
church 'have (bequeath:ed:to them.
Two fishermen were angling in a
river when one suddenly. dropped 'his
rod.
"Heavens," he 'ejaculated, "Did you
sec that -feller fall off that cliff over
there .into the river?"
"Don't get excited, Bail," said the
other, "Perhaps it was a movie actor
making pictures."
"But, my 'stars! How can we tell?';
"Well,' replied 'the other, "if he
'frowns, he ain't."

Wingham Girl Dies Froin Burns
Received in Auto Accident—
Helen 'Hammond, Winghant high
school student, in her 1117th year, died
in the Wingham general 'hospital on•
Saturday, as a result of burns , suf-
fered in an accident last !Wednesday.
The accident °coursed 'at Bluevale,
when gasoline fumes exploded in a
car in which she was a passenger.
Prompt action by employees of the
Biuevaie creamery, in extinguishing
the ,flames with water, prevented more
serious consequences at the time,
Louise Doerr and. William Sturdee,
the latter the .car driver, 'suffered
minor 'burns. The others succeeded in
leaping from the machine, as it was
brought to a stop in front of the
creamery building, but Miss Ham-
mond was apparently ,unable to extri-
cate herself. }Employees of the cream-
ery saw the 'fauces a'i'd hurled water
into the •machine, while ,the girl was
dragged out. It was reported explos-
ion of gasoline fumes from a ,can car-
ried in the motorcar was responsible
for the fire. The can, it was said, over-
turned andwas righted. Apparently,
however, some' of the'Ifluid must have
trickled down on. the exhaust pipe, for
an :explosion followed and the interior
of the machine burst into ;flames. All.
three, it was reported, were in the
front seat of the machine, •a sedan.
The can is said to have been directly
behind Miss Hammond. 'Consideralble
gasoline still remained in the can af-
ter the fire, ,it was said. Miss Ham-
mond, had !been badly burned about
the 'body. She was removed to, the
hospital, where site remained 'until tite
time of 'her death. As her condition
grew more serious on .Friday night,
it was decided to give a .blood trans-
fusion. Miss Hammond was popular
itt young people's work. She was en
active member of the C. G. I. T.
of St. ,Andrew's ;Presbyterian 'Church,
Wingham, as .well as a ,member of
the chair. She was a daughter of Mr.
and .M'rs, W. E. Hammond. The +fuin-
eral' was held on Monday.

Potato Beetle Poison Spray
Potato beetles lay their eggs on the
under -side of the leaves of the potato
plant in. yellow masses and when a
number of these have hatched the first
application of poison spray should 'be
made. The bestand cheapest poison to
use is calcium arsenate, at the rate of
one and a 'half to two pounds in 40
gallons of Bordeau mixture '(copper
sulphate'6 pounds, lime 4 .pounds, wa-
ter 40 gallons), Should arsenate of
lead or Paris green be preferred as a
Poison, two to three popunds of the
arsenate and one-half to one ,pound of
Paris green may ,bet)strbstitu'ted for
each 40 gallon barrel of spray.
Growers who prefer to apply the
poison in powder form should use a
dust composed of one part of arsenate
of lead to six parts of 'hydrated lime.
In dusting, .best results will be secur-
ed if the application is made in the
early morning or late evening when
the vines are wet with •dew and when
the air' is calm.
In spraying potatoes, the poison
should alwaysmixed with Bordeau,
as this material is not only a valuable
fungicide but repels the attack of de-
structive insects like 'flea beetles and
leaNli'oppers. Two or three applica-
tions in a season should give sufficient
protection from all insects when cap -
'pilled thoroughly and at a time when
the new damage first 'becomes evident
in each case. In spraying, cover both
the upper and lower surfaces of the
leaves and use an :abundance of mater-
ial. When the plants are small, 30 to
75 gallons per acre,F and when fully
grown '100 to Ilea gallons are not 'too
much at each application.
The standard fertilizer usually re-
commended: for late :potatoes, man -
gels, and most late hoe crops, is the
formula 4-6-1.0 (four parts of nitrogen
to eight of phosphoric acid and ten of
potash). This fertilizer certainly in-
creases the yields when properly used
an these crops. The rate of applica-
tion for potatoes is from 800' to 11;500
pounds per acre according to the fer-
tility of the land, and for mangels
from 600 to 800 pounds per acre, in
addition to manure. 2-12-6 is general-
ly accepted as the fertilizer for grain
and corn and is as good as any for
beans and pastures.
Of course, there are special types
of soil and some 'crops that may do
better with fertilizers of different ana-
lyses than the above, but generally
speaking the 4-S-10 and 24216 are as
dependalble as any for the above
crops,
The Provincial fertilizer councils
have gone into the detail of this, and
every !farmer should have his copy of
the recommendations so as to be able
to buy and use fertilizers for ,best re-
sults, Copies of the recommendations
may ibe obtained from the Depart-
ment,
