SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 24 t917 W. S. Railway Maferial :Sold, Tenders for the purchase of the rails and other materiel of the Wast Shore Railway wora,oponed at a meeting of ropreeentativos of the interoeted muni7 olpalities held yesterday at Kincar- dine, The tender of . the Ontario ffy- dro.oleotrie °omission was the highest and was aooepted, For the track (iu olnding rails, lish.plates, spikes, etc.) the figure was $40 2 gross ton ; for the rails at Kincardine and along the right of way. $45 a ton; for bolts oat of Ereak, $6 per cwt.; for spikes out of track, $80 per short ton ; for fish•pletea out of track, $45 per gross ton : for the structural steel, 5o. a pound, The poles and ties were not sold. It is roughly estimated that at these prions about $1211,000 will be realized re nt the sale of the material. The total liability is $400,000, Shortage of Swede Turnip Seer • Swede turnip growers -arm urged tide spring to endeavour to secure and trans- plant a few sound roots to produce. seed for themselves and their neigh hours. Owing to the abnormal condi- tions now prevailing there will likely be very little swede seed for planting in the spring of 1.918 uulese our Canadian swede turnip growers make provision for their awn supplies by growing the seed themselves. Canadian supplies of swede and most other field roots and garden seeds formerly Dame from Eur- ope, but this source is new practically out eff. The prospecte for home grown seed have been reduced by the present price of swede turnips for food pur- poses, as it would now take nearly two hundred dollars' worth of full grown swede turnips to transplant an acre for seed purpoaes. This factor has had the unfortunate effect of reducing the area in the eastern provinoe0 that would otherwise bane been planted for the, production of swede seeds. Experimental Farm Report The first volume of the Experimen • tai Farm Report for the year I916 contains much information ' of value to the farmers of Canada, At snob a time as this when prodnetion moans so much no farmer can afford to over over such iuformation as this report oontains_when it is available for the asking. It represents the work done on the Central Farm at Ottawa and the fifteen branch forme and stations distributed over Canada. Volume 1 contains the report of the Director which is a general review of the work done. An interesting statement appears in the Report whioh deals with the costs of growing certain crops, as follow, Mangels, $1,55; ensilage Dorn $1,45 oats 19 cents per bushel and hay at $5 per ton, 1t is also shown as a result of seven yearn experiments that in. fertilizing the soil a distinot advantage is nhowu in the use of barnyard manure alone over commercial fertilizer alone. Tho experiments suggests the possibil- ity of combining the two profitably when barnyard manure is scarce or high priced. Referring to new strains of grain being produced, it is stated that Wiese and beardless barleys are receising oioso attention with the promise of some exceptional results. Earlier and more productive varieties are being sought for, while now strains ef oats, peas, beans, buckwheat and fax are being tooted. These are but ex- amples of the character ef the informa• tion contained lo the 590 pages of this first volume that can be received, with- out cost, on application to the Pobiioa- tfone Branoh of the Department of Agrioulture at Ottawa.

By hay- ing a shelter the cost of r ending the children to•ontside place would be eared. Then unruly children can be better dealt with. If a Juvenile Clout is established in Huron, then such a place will have to be provided. Au Appeal will be made to the County Council at the June Session for a grant toward buying a 'building in Godorioh on which an option "is now held, It is hoped the reghest meet e liberal response The Child's Refuge will prove as helpful as the Refuge at Clinton has proved itself.

Officials of the 0 & B Lines which operate the Great Ship "SEEANDBEE and Steamers "OITY Oh' BUFFALO" and "City OF ERIE" daily between Cleveland Buffalo, predict that this season wfll surpass all others in volume of passenger and freight traffic, Never has business started with such a rush which saefly reflects the general pros- perous ooudition of the 0000117. Vacation trips which afford change from the every day scene are regarded as essential by the Amerioan people, and thousands are now turning to the Great Lakea for the alluring trips by water.
