Fall Rally of
Huron Presbyterial
The fall rally of the Huron Pres-
byterial Women's Missionary Soci-
ety of the Presbyterian Church in
Canada was held in Carmel Presby-
terian Church, Hensall, on Tuesday,;
September 10th, with morning and
afternoon sessions.
The Presbyterial president, Mrs.
W,'S.. Thompson of Seaforth, wel-
comed the delegates, who came from
Auburn, Blyth, Belgrave, Clinton,
Exeter, Goderich, Hensall and Sea -

One member from each auxiliary
took part in the devotional period,

the plans for the new world we were
hopingfor, and 'greed and material-

of the world,
"There is only' one cure, said the
speaker, "for the misery in the
world today. It is Jesus Himself
who said, '], if 1 be lifted up, will
draw, all men unto ale.' "
Mrs. McKellar stated that the mo-

CLEARING FARM LAND
OF TREE STUMPS
From the farmer's point of view,
the methods of removal of tree
stumps will depend on the general
object in view, because stump re-
moval may be considered from three
different aspects, namely, green
stumps, dead stumps, and decayed
stumps. If the land to be cleared is
required immediately, stumps are
normally removed in the summer,
following timbering operations. This
is the most expensive procedure and
will involve the use of heavy equip-
ment, if the work is'to be done
quickly.
Where the amount of land under
cultivation is being only gradually
extended, the usual procedure is to
seed down the stump land and •past-
ure it for a few years to kill off the
slump shoots and allow the stumps
to die. Dead stumps can be . more
easily removed than green:ones.
Where time is not a factor, stumps
may be allowed to decay. In this
condition they can be readily re-
moved with a minimum of labour
and equipment.
The work and expense involved in
removing green stumps should not
be under -estimated. The method
selected will, of course, depend on
the size of the stump, the acreage
to be cleared, and the time, labour
and equipment available. Hand grub-
bing is very laborious and can be
done only if a few stumps are to be
removed. A team cannot pull more

BEST TIME TO
FATTEN POULTRY
The question as to when poultry
of different classes should be fatten-
ed depends for a satisfactory an-
swer upon several factors, states the
Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture publication "Fattening' Poultry
for Market". Of these factors, the
price paid is one of the most import-
ant. Broilers should be fattened as
BEES SIGNAL CARPS
ALWAYS ON ALERT
Bees have a highly developed code
of signals by which they communi•
cate quickly with one another, as for
instance in passing the word that the
way is clear for plundering a cer-
tain hive. During July and August,
a shortage of nectar secretion in
flowers causes the field bees to stay
around the apiary. Should the 'bee-
keeper in a careless examination of
his colonies leave the supers or hives
exposed for some time, the bees
from the strong hives will steal the
nectar. These robber bees at once
pass the information to the field
bees in their own hive. Then the re-
inforced troops go on a robbing
spree and, if the robber .bees can
overpower the guards of a weak col-
ony, they will remove 30 to 50 .lbs of
honey in two or three hours, leaving
the inmates of the hive and their
queens to starve to death.

BANK CREDIT BRIDGES THE FINANCIAL GAP
Every day, business firms make use of bank loans to keep men working,
machines running, goods flowing. This bank credit may be used to meet
continuing expenses while goods are being processed; to build up stocks
of raw materials; to purchase component parts. As finished goods reach
the market and paymeat is received, the loan is repaid:
Enterprising farmers, fishermen, merchants—all make similar use of
bank credit to meet their short-term financial needs. Thus your bank helps
Canadians maintain steady operations—to take advantage of market oppor-
