HURON COUNTY WINS FIRST PRIZE, Russell Bolton, Me lo's, has re- ceived word that the litter of hogs he had entered in the Bacon Litter Com- petition had won first .prize in district number five, This district consisted of Huron, Perth, Grey and Bruce and also made second highest score in the whole province. This litter numbered 15 at farrowing and all were marketed weighing 3,010 lbs. when 174 days old, and grading 11 selects, 3 bacons and 1 butcher. The -Bacon Litter Competition, which was -organized under the joint auspices of the Ontario and Domin- ion Live Stock Branches, has as its objective the establishment of a stan- dard of excellence for grade brood sows kept by farmers, as well as . the study of feeding and care. It is re- cognized that those brood sows which ere prolific and rear large litters of select Macon hogs . and which are good feeders making good gains at a Mw cost are valuable and improvers of commerdial hogs. The Competi- tion aims to give such sows promi- nence as breeders, in their respective cotnniunities in the hope that their female progeny will be selected es foundation brood sows for the dis- trict. BISHOP FALLON PASSES, Rt. Rev, Michael Francis Fallon, bishop of the Roman Catholic Dio- cese of .London; died at 9.50 o'clo'ck Sunday night at his official residence, 90 Central avenue, London, in his 64th year. Stricken with illness three years ago, Bishop Fallon had been ineapac- itated from the duties of his office for an extended ,period. During the past summer he resided at his summer residence at Corunna and on his re- turn suffered a relapse from which he. had rallied, only again to suffer a relapse about four weeks ago. Sunday afternoon the bishop's condition' grew gradually more grave. While the sanctuary .boys. of St. Peter's Cathed - nal were offering prayers for the bishop the last rites of the church were administered by Rt. Rev, Mon signor J. F. Stanley, rector of St, Peter's Cathedral, assisted by Rev. J. A.. Jordan, associate rector, and Rev. F. J, Brennan. Iti attendance at the bedside were Rev, James Fallon; brother of the bishop;' Rev. J. C. Kelly, bishop's secretary; Rev. 3, A. Cook, end Rev. L. Wernplee-also a •ister-in-law, Mrs. Frank - Fallon, of London, and Sister Dolorosa, Sister Irabain and Sister St. Stephen. 'The body of Bishop Fallon will lie in state in St. Peter's Cathedral until the funeral services. An administrator of the diocese will be appointed to act until the appoint- ment of a successor. The burial will be made in a mausoleum behind the main altar of the chapel at St. Peter's Cemetery. Few men among the Roman Catho- lic clergy of Ontario, or, indeed, the clergy of any other denomination .in the province, were as well known ,as the Rt. Rev. Michael Francis Fallon. His reputation was not confined to his native ,province, however. His name was known throughout the Do- minion as that of an able cleric, a pub- lic-spirited citizen ,and a man who braved adverse criticism with es much calmness as if bricks were bouquets. He will be missed by citizens in all walks of life and his loss will be felt not only by adherents of the Roman Catholic faith, but by Protestants and the public generally, - Bishop Fallon, the son of Dominic and Bridget Fallon, naw deceased, was born in Kingston on May 17, 1867.,He was educated in the Chris- tian Brothers school and Kingston collegiate, and 'se'cured his theo- logical - training in Ottawa Univer- sity, where' he took his B.A. in 1889. From the Georgian University in Rome he received his D.D. degree in 1894, and the same year he en- tered the priesthood, He - was later Professor of English for three years in Ottawa University, and was .Vice- Rector there for another -three-year term. From 1898 until 1901 he was rec, for of St. Joseph's Church, Ottawa, and then for three years rector of Holy Angels' Church, in Buffalo, N. Y, He later held the office of Pro- vincial of the Oblate Order, and as such travelled all over the American Continent, until, in 1909, he was made Bishop of London, succeeding Bishop MdEvay,, who was made Archbishop of .Toronto. From that,titne he devoted himself to the welfare of a large and growing diocese and in church extension and Catholic education the new Bishop achieved remarkable success.

The first year it appears in the form of a rosette of leaves, ly- ing close to the ground, with short underground roots, comparatively easy to destroy by cultivation; but the second year, a stem bearing leaves and the flower is produced, the root- stocks growing longer and sending up new shoots, making the task of de- stroying them much more difficult. It is estimated that an average plant produces 2,000 or more seeds, each seed having at.its.to'p -,.tuft of silky hair which when dry enables it to be borne long distances by the wind, and by this means is being spread very rapidly. Several methods for control are here suggested which have been tried by practical men and found satisfactory, and among these each may find one or more adapted to their need and conditions- General—Take every precaution to prevent seeding and the careiage of rootstocks to other fields by the im- plements of cultivation. Sheep are fond of this weed and by being close- ly cropped by these or other animals, the rootstock is very mach weakened and faiis to send up a seed stock and in time dies by smothering. No. 1.—uWhere rape is grown, cul- tivate the field until the beginning of June, keeping the weed from reaching the light and air, ridge the land into drills and sow rape seed at the rate of 134 lbs. to the acre et a time when the land is sufficiently moist to en- sure rapid germination. Use the cultivator as long as possible, and af- ter harvesting or pasturing is over, ridge the land up again, and the next year plant a hoe crop. No. 2,—'Sow early itt the spring with barley, as soon as harvested plow the land and give frequent cultivation until the 1st or middle of September; then sow winter eye at the rate of about 2 bus, per acre. Pasture fall and spring, plow under, cultivate and seed to buckwheat at midde of June„ itt this way securing three crops in two years, with the sow thistle being fought at the same time. No.3.-A short rotation, grain seed- ed to clover, cut one crop of clover in June, plow immediately after, culti- vate and prepare for fall wheat and seed in spring to permanent grasses. No. 4, --Directly after harvest plow lightly and cultivate as long as the season permits, in following spring plow and cultivate until time to seed with fall wheat, to be effective the fallow must be kept bare, the cultiva- tor bringing to the surface as many of. the roots as possible, this implement being of the brgad shared type. No. 5.—The growing of alfalfa and other permanent hay crops is one of the most effective ways of preventing the sow thistle from seeding, while summer plowing during the hot months, with the frequent use of the broad shared- cultivator has proveh the most effective treatment of the roots of this pernicious weed... - -A, A.
