To Hold Union Services.—A vdte to determine whether St. Andrew's and Queen St. United Congregations would enter into an arrangement for holding union services in the two churches six months alternately, was taken recently. The vote in the for- mer church stood 7,7 for and 28 against, while the latter voted voted 107 in favor to 28 against. The vote was not as large as antioipated but is considered a fair expression of opin- ion froth the fact that the weather was stormy prevented many from being present.

This village, seven- teen miles east of Parry Sound, has a !Women's Institute which utilizes lo- cal talent to very good purpose alt the regular monthly educational meetings, and it is usual for one of the local nursing demonstrations from time to time. They provide wholesome social opportunities for their members and are rendering a splendid service to the community. Like tate majority of the communities which support Women's Tnstitutes in the north, they have this year been able to look after the needy, except for one poor family, for which large supplies were sent by an Insti- tute in Old Ontario, and in addition, they spent $87.00 in providing linen for a hospital in the district, They also sent to the House of Refuge Crhistmas Gifts, and every •new baby in the district is provided with a warm jacket and all' persons who are ill in the township receive flowers, and some times other luxuries. Buy Quality Seed "As never before in the history of farming should care be exercised in the purchase of seeds for planting this spring," is the advice of one ,well- known authority, who adds that it is doubly important to make sure that purchases have been government tested as a result of last ye'ar's drought and the reduced supply of high quality stock. Demand For Asparagus ' 'From information gathered' by the Ontario Growers' Markets Council, a strong demand by Ilse canners for a- sparagus is anticipated, dt is under- stood that the market for canned a- sparagus. has shown a steady, expan- sion with the result that an increase in the pack is to be looked for. The 'Comrcil is of the opinion that 13 cents per pound will constitute a fair price for the 1932 crop. 'Various cann'i'ng companies are now endeav- oring to secure cotetracts but no ef- fort has been made to set the price. Some growers have undertaken deliv- ery on the promise of the canning companies to pay prevailing market price, but efforts to have the canners indicate their opinion as to what will constitute a fair market price have failed, A Farming Journal An example which might well be followed in other counties is that of the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce in issuing an annual Agricultural Journal. The fourth annual issue has just been distributed free of charge to 5,000 farmers in the county, It is an eight -page pu'bl'icat'ion and con- tains a wealth of information relating to the ,farming industry, :Almo e every • phase of agriculture as carried' on in the county is discussed, such as poultry breeding, reforestation, to- bacco raising, fertilizers, fruit and vegetable growing. Numerous pic- tures of Iocal interest are" used' to brighten the pages. 'The local agri- cultural representative, F. C. Pater- son, who is also secretary of; the Chamber of Commerce, has been lar- gely respbnsibl'e for the success of this valuable publication.

The Federal Fertilizer Act requires that every fertilizer delivered to a fanner must be labelled with the guaranteed analysis in. terms of nitrogen, phos- ph!oric acid and potash. 'Therefore the faraner.should check the guaran- teed analysis of the fertilizer when it arrives. IIf short one per cent, nitro- gen, it is worth about $2.50 a ton less. than the purchase price and phos- phoric acid and potash are wort' about $1 for each per cent: Purchaser. are advised to refuse ac'cept'ance a. fertilizer , which is not labelled pre- cisely the same guaranteed analysis as that purchased, .Should any farts- er have reason to doubt the value' of a fertilizer delivered to him, he is ad- vised to ,communicate with the near- est fertilizer inspector or the district representative of agriculture.
