sear through.
\'Ve all feel so sorry for little 13t11
And would like to help flim, if it was
his will.
So we think the best thing for us to
do
is to give hire a good wife,
'then he would be happy all his life.
Yes, Londesboro is quite a place to
lty e,
The neighbors are 'friendly and will-
ing to give:
But a few things are lacking, money
and such,
And 4r.eine sorry doesn't help very
much—
We have no Doctor, should we need
one quick,
So let's hope that no one ever gets
sick --
A policeman, tri;' and strong,
To keep.good order as we travel on.
A traffic cop is needed too
To stop the cars which go speeding
through
At 80 or 90 miles per hoar.
It is not safe to cross the street,
You may be crushed to death.
Last but not least
Is !Rev. IBrenton who preaches good
sermons
The church doors are open each Sun-
day at ten,
For our soul's edification.
So come along all you folk,
And now I'll say Anlen.

POTATO BUGS
ALMOST THING 'OF PAST
The famous "Potato Bug", known
officially as the Colorado Potato
Beetle, is almost a thing of the past
in Ontario, experts of the Crops
Branch, Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture, state.
In fact parts of the province, espe-
cially some nortjilerri areas, have
never known of the pest, although
it was common in older parts of the
province until recent years.
There was 0 time, experts point
out, when children on the farm had
the after-school or holiday job of
either picking the bugs or applying
Paris Green to the plants.
However, since the advent of effi-
cient power sprayers and more mod-
ern chemicals, control of the potato
bug is the least of potato growers'
worries. In fact it is now pbssible to
go over hundreds of acres of pota-
toes without finding one,
However, officials of the Crops
Branch point out that modern pests
are flea beetles, aphids, and leaf
hoppers, as well as virus, bacterial
and fungus diseases and blight, -scab
and other afflictions. And they are
said to be just as troublesome if not
treated early in the season.

ON POISON IVY
No one really wants 'to be on
speaking terms with poison ivy, But
it is not a bad idea to be able to re-
cognize it, to know what to do 'if
you come in contact with it, and to
know how to get rid of the plants.
It has a habit of growing in the least
expected places, and unless it is re-
cognized immediately, the conse-
quences can be most unpleasant.
Some people can work in or with
poison ivy for years, or even
handle the plants without ill effects,
h
but sooner or later even these ap-
patently immune individuals become
susceptible. But these people are ex-
aesemommissiNINIZOMBar
ceptional, and to the average, it is
just what its name implies, poison,
Poison ivy occurs in all provinces
of Canada, but it grows in greatest
profusion in Ontario and western
Quebec.
