-Too Many Accidents
With the advent of .haying time
farmers should pay particular atten-
tion to the avoidance of accidents
which have occurred all too frequent-
ly in past seasons. The life of more
than one child has been taken by the
sickle -bar because tthe driver of the
team was, not watching;the field ahead
of him. Workmen by the score have
been injured by not taking the proper
care when working-arotmd the Mach-
inery. and rho accidents caused by
carelessness with pitchforks must
reach an appalling. total, •Every farm-
er should first be impressed with dan-
gers
ap
gers himself and then warn his men
to exercise the utmost care..
Specialize in Turnips.
Wellington farmers have Just com-
pleted the rowing of 9,000 acres of
turnips which is about one-eighth of
the total acreage for the province.
Two thirds of these turnips will be
sold for table purposes in United
States cities. .Many turnip fields re-
ceived very special cuttivation this
year. Some of the fields were sum-
mer followed last July and August
and ridged up in September, matured
this spring, thoroughly worked down
,then played again, harrowed, rolled,
fertilized and ridged and rolled again
until many of the fields , look like
market gardens. Some start to scuffle
their turnips before the seed is up in
order to endourage rapid growth of
the plants and easier hoeing'. Constant
cultivation produces a crisp, sweet
product of high quality, free of wood-
iness and very tasty.
WOMEN'S INSTITUTE.
The district annual meeting of the
West Huron iWomen's Institute was
held at Auburn on June 17 with 250
delegates present.
An executive meeting was held at
9.30 a.m. The morning session opened
at 10 o'clock by the singing of the In-
stitute ode, Mrs. Geddes of \\'ingham
read the scripture lesson after which
Mrs. Mortimer led in prayer.
. The secretary's report was read and
on motion of Mrs, Elliott and Mrs.
Beckett was approved. The reports
of the different branches, eleven in all,
were received. They have been 'busy
in their different activities and doing
splendid work. We have a member-
ship of 545, and 134 meetings were
held during the year with an atten-
dance off 4329, an increase of 289 over
the previous year. Money raiseddur-
ing tate year $5,1.89;56, with an ex-
penditure of $2150.82.
The standing committees on Im-
migration, Horne Economics, 'Health.
Canadian Industries, Relief, Commun-
ity Activities, Historical Research,
Child Welfare, Legislation, Agricul-
ture and Education, were theta given.
These were much better than last
year and we hope for still better re -
.sults in the future. A resolution com-
mittee composed of Mrs. Bisset of
Goderich, Mrs. \\rightntan of Blvth,
and Mrs. Clegg of \Vingham, were ap-
pointed to look after same. The meet-
ing then adjourned for dinner,
The afternoon session opened at
1.30 with community singing conduct-
ed by the Auburn ladies. Rev. Mr.
Mortimer welcomed the ladies and
complimented the members of the
\\'omen's Institute on the noble work
they are doing for the betterment of
our communities.
ifrs. Colclough of Blyth replied to
this address. We were then favoured
with a solo by Mrs. Clegg of Bel -
grave. Next carie the president's ad-
dress, site had visited all the branches
in the district and •it was both a sat-
isfaction and gratifying to know they
were getting along so well. We have
passed another 'milestone and sug-
gested a closer co-operation with tea-
chers, pupils and .school boards. If
:hey are to be 'better citizens we must
give them our assistance. Mins Eadie
from the department then spoke on
Institute work, 'The first institute was
founded in 1897. Since that time it has
been continually increasing and today
we have 1156 branches with a mem-
bership of over 40,000. Similar erg
anizations have been formed alt over
the land, but our Women's Institutes
have always set the example for other
pountries.
Mrs. Wilson of 'Goderich then fav-
oredus with a reading which brought
a hearts. encore.
Mrs. \Vardia r of Ethel, Fede atien
Representative, spoke for a few min-
utes on the weed question which to-
day ;o malty of our farmers have to
contend with. There have been fifty
million dollars spent in trying to de-
stroy the weeds in our country, yet
so many are indifferent about trying
to keep them down.
We had a Scotch dance by _Miss
.McKenzie of Kintaii, also a quartette
by the Myth ladies.
A motion was passed to this effect:
That we respectfully request the Pre-
mier of Ontario to arrange that live
:heusanl girls of this province go to
Inc Royal Winter Fair as guests of
the province. The - resolution com-
mittee then presented the following

interested, the surroundings in which
the cattle are kept should be aetrac-
tive. One breeder who has had 're-
markable success in selling livestock
recently observed that next to the
condition and quality of the animals
for sale, the neatness and cleanliness
around the barns were the most im-
portant factors in predisposing a. man
to buy, : They indicate the farmer's
pride in his business and give the im-
pression of prosperity. When a buyer
funds a breeder enthusiastic over his
breed and proud of the success which
his herd is bringing him, it is not dif-
ficult to •sell the cattle which are be-
fore 'him.
Sweet Clover as Manure.
During recent years many farmers
have been growing sweet clover in ro-
tation with potatoes. A full crop o
sweet clover ploughed under may be
considered worth as much as 25 to
30 tpn's of barnyard manure. Where
farmers have plenty of manure avail-
able it may not be desirable to grow
sweet clover for the purpose of plots
ing it down but where the manure
supply is limited it has been profitable
to follow the above plan of action.
Culture of Roses.
In the 1930 edition "American Rose
Annual" 160 distinct varieties of roses
were reported, among these being the
report of testing at the Ontario Age: -
cultural College of seventy-one of
these varieties. The college this year
intends to double, or perhaps triple
the number of varieties raider test in
the College gardens during ,the nett
three or four years. The important
new introductions will be tested by
the Horticultural. Department there
and reported on before they are of-
fered for sale to the public. Of the
1800 rose bushes growing in the col-
lege gardens, not one was winter kill-
ed during the past winter.
Ontario Gardeners Competitions
The Ontario Vegetable Growers'
Association holds two competitions
yearly, one for field crops and the
other for a Garden• Competition to
encourage well -kept premises. In the
field trop competition various classes
of vegetables are to be grown such as
cabbage, lettuce. tomatoes. onions,
etc. For both competitions to be
hold there must not be less than ten
entries from each district. The pro-
vince is divided as follows: 1. Brock-
ville, Cyrvitle, Kingston. Limoges.
Northumberland, Ottawa, Peterboro,
Prince Edward, Rednersville Whitby.
2. Ancaster, Brantford, Beamsviile,
Burlington. Dunnville, Niagara, St.
Catharines, Vineland: and 'Welland.
3. Agincourt. Barrie, Belle River,
Chatham, Harrow, Kingsville, Lon-
don, North York, Sarnia, Scarboro.
Seaeliffe, Tecumseh, Toronto, Toron-
to township. These competitions are
open only to members of the Ontario
Vegetable Growers Association.
Pull Weeds Now
Much value can be added to all field
crops mad particularly those crops
grown for seed purposes by the pull-
ing of weeds when the ground is soft
just now after the recent rains. Many
farmers and especially those living in
the weil known seed clover districts in
Central. Eastern and Western Ontar-
io, are finding that this rouging if the
fields is not as difficult as supposed.
The weeds stand up very prominently
and ane slight pull will easily remove
them. '
"The fields seem to have more
weeds than they realty have," states a
York County observer," as many of
them usually have froth three or four
branches, but all come together with
a single pull. Owners of fields intend-
ed for seed should bear in mind that it
s almost impossible to separate many
if our worst weeds, such as sweet
clover. ca led dock and catch fly from
the commercial seed c ops and on
this account they are are'ortngly advised
to over theg fielis non.' It is
me i ed out hat the widespread rept-.
of Pee: C -Prty as in alfalfa
pr ?neer is liare•-'y dee to the facto
that foe years they have made a regu-
li'iiit ,f :tonging their fields of
weeds.
Cleanliness Needed,
If Ontario I es ek breeders are to
maintain the lucrative ata ken which
,etiiet today it is not sufficient that
1 hay? •a gbh, alfal; , to
,ell. In o : . to keep outside buyers!
The tnost essential precaution'sto be
observed in, growing sweet clover are
to make sure that the soil is not acid,
that it is well enough drained to pre --
vent heaving and that the seed is ino-
culated.
Current Crop Report.
According to reports received from
practically every county, crops ih On-
tario are looking exceptionally well
and proniiae to give heavier yields
than have been enjoyed for some' time.
Over most of the province hay will
give a larger yield than last year. F'a+ul
wheat is headed out and barley and
oats are 'beading ottt in the southern
part of the province. Cutting of all -
alio and sweet clover has been fairly
general during the past ten days and
haying is now in full swing through-
out the province. Dairy production is
at its peak but farmers are dissatis-
fied with the prices being paid for
milk products for the manufacture of
butter, cheese and condensed milk. An
abundance of rain has brought along
the pastures which are in fine condo-
tion in most sections. Picking of
strawberries and cherries is now gen-
'era] in the fruitegl'owin'g districts.

per cent of all calls
are now completed

line."
Mrs. Mitis was thrifty!
She would dearly like to talk to her
mother back home, as her friend told
her she was doing every week, but think
of the expense—
She was astonished when she learned that
a call for the distant number during the
day would cost only 60 cents, and after
7 p.m. only half a dollar.
Srate.he actually made her call after 8.30 and
it cost her only i 35 cents --the night
Now the weekly 3 -minute talk with her
mother is a regular thing, And what a
joy it is both to Mrs. Milts and her
mother. Both declare it is almost as good
as a visit 1 -
