With solemn head-waggings they tell you that "conditions were never so bad before," that "good times will never return"; that "the wort is yet to come.". If these panicky people would do a little constructive reading and thinking, they would stop their prat- tle. For they would realize that they are merely parroting the dim forebodings of the "Gloomy Gttses" who' have time and time again at- tended the obsequies of Prosperity, .only to find that it was just a case :of suspended animation. Let us turn back a few page of industrial history. In 1818 there was "widespread poverty among farmers, manufactur- ,ers and retailers" with "recovery very doubtful." In 'L837 the country faced "unav- oidable ruin." In 1847 another panic made the. .future "dark and dismal." In 185'7 trade was "paralyzed, for- tunes swept away" and there was much cause for apprehension. In 1873 conditions seemed "hope- less." In .1893 commodities and securit- ise .crashed and there seemed "no es- .eape from bankruptcy." In 1913 there was "world-wide de- pression" and many threatening ,clouds on the business horizon. And as recently as 1921 retail trade dwindled, people were thrown -out of work, stocks hit new lows, and the gloomy saw "little reason to be optimistic." Such were the prophecies of these calamity howlers during the past 114 years. Invariably they were wrong —and • they are wrong nowt They forget that mast of the citizens of Canada are 'reasonable and courage- ous, and eventually successful. As always before, Prosperity will return. Just how soon, depends largely on ourselves. We must stop bemoaning our losses and face the future with a smile, doing our share to keep the morale of our people well above the water nark. k * * * CHAUTAUQUA IS HERE lin days gone by, and not so long -ago, people of small centres had the opportunity of attending road shows from time -to time. The day has ar- rived when these road shows, some of which verged on the terrible, no longer come to town. The speaking picture is a fine form of entertainment and one which the public are very fond of, and we are fortunate in having a well-con- ducted theatre in this town. But this week Chautauqua are pre- senting their programs of high class entertainment, sponsored by a local committee, and if the public desire , these Chautauqua programmes to Continuant Wingham in the future they must give it 'w'hole-hearted, sup- port. Be sttire and get your season tickets. The program; this year are considered above the usual high class standard set by Chautauqua. Yon will enjoy these pleasing, in •structive programs. SHOULD SUPPORT BEAUTI- ET FIC,t�TTON OF CEM ERY IDEA At the time of the erection of the rink in Gorrie, it was necessary fur 24 men of that tillage to subscribe ee- � apiece, this was dun we under- stand, a . 5Q, 1 a ie that stand, on the ttnder5t nd g t t at some future date a rebate would be made. For some time a project for the beautification of the cemetery has been contemplated, by erecting gates. Several of the prominent men. of the village have interested them- selves in the idea and have at the present time 18 of the above men are willing to allow their rebate to be applied to consumate this project. It is, however, necessary that all 24 are agreeable before the bank will hand over the money. We feel that with such a worthy objective before them the minority will accede to the wish of the majority and thereby show a real community spirit. * * * * Seven British Ministers held a con- ference on ship board, enroute to Ottawa. This is once they were at sea. * * * * The St. Lawrence Waterways agreement has been signed. Toron- to will soon be a seaport city. * * De Valera sticks to his guns. Premier Ramsay Macdonald could not persuade him to alter his stand, The Irish people will pay dearly for his leadership. * * * The Strawberries are gone — now bring on your Raspberries. * * * * Premier L. A. Taschereau describ- es the St. Lawrence waterway agree- ment as "a National Crime," He must have failed to look at this from a national standpoint. a: * * * The T. & N. O. Railway is now completed to James Bay. Ontario now has a seaport called Moosonee. Alas poor Moose Factory. * * * * Wingham batted 100% at the En- trance Examinations — a wonderful record. We extend our congratula- tions to the pupils and teachers. * * * * De Valera wants to be in the Em- pire, but out of it, at the same time. Rather Irish, is it not?

He found. the Israelites apparently caught •in ' a trap where they were` completely at his .mercy. The child- ren of Israel, lifted up their eyes, :and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after then. Intent on. their forward progress, at first they did not look behind, And they were d of ;,c re afraid: and the childrens- I rael cried out unto Jehovah. But the Israelites had not forgotten what their God had done for them, though n Pharaoh had already forgotten, a cl turned toehovah in their great dis- tress. J And they said unto Moses. Not by any means the only time they made unreasoning complaint against their great deliverer. Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilder- ness? The people were not blind to their peril, but surely expected prompt and awful death. Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt. Leaders of the people 'must labor for the love of their work, and look to God alone for their reward and praise. Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may. serve the Egypt- ians? No such protest is recorded, and it is very unlikely that any such protest was made. And Moses said unto the people. Here is an example of his meekness. Fear ye not. 'Be not afraid" are the words that were often on the lips of our Lord. Stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah. The people were looking for a way to escape, but the Lord told them to stand still. For the Egyptians whom ye have seen to -day. The mighty army even now rushing down upon you from the enveloping hills. Ye shall see them again no more for ever. What superb trust in Jehovah is here shown! And Jehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? This is a characteristic of the narrative, important to be observed with refer- ence to other missions less easily supplied." Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. This is one of the most• heroic utterances of history, and it is applicable to all persons, in all kinds of trouble. "It is astonishing the number of people that whine instead of going for- ward. GOD'S PEOPLE ARE SAFE. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. His hand, bearing the mystic staff,, symbol of his faith -fill- ed obedience. And Jehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night. God, as so often in His miracles, worked• this one the aid of natural agencies. with4�,encies. And the children of ' Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ,ground. Their act, in face. of the possibility of the return of the waters at any time, was a manifesta- tion of faith such as nearly equalled the faith of Moses, who was God's agent in working the miracle, OPENING EXERCISES AT KINTAIL The Summer School got off to a good start on Monday evening. A spirit of joyousness was in the air,. hearty goodwill was displayed by all and exubriant spirits were inevidence on every side. When the hour came to begin the opening exercises more than one hundred were gathered to hear the earnest message of the speaker. It was Rev. W. 5. West, Moderator o fthe Synod of Hamil- ton and London delivering the open- ing address. Serious were the words spoken, but more serious were the faces of the earnest, eager young people who were listening. From all over the Synod territory they had conte to spend a week at Kintail un- der the most inspiring and soul up- lifting of conditions. The simple earnestness that marked each face, spoke of a moral passion that barns within and never will any church sinlc into decay as long as the fires of moral purity are kept burning in the hearts of its young people. Mr. West spoke to the theme of "The Power of the Holy Spirit" and said in part that the success of the earthly Church depended "upon the bestowal of the Spirit as promised by the Master, and the receptivity of the Spirit and the power, given by the disciples, He mentioned that the power of the spirit is manifested through religious earnestness, unity in fellowship 'with each other and the Christ, through witnessing for 'Christ—which is . the main business of all disciples. Pentecostal power is the power of the Word of God i.e. the Bible, Peter became a powerful preacher because . he preached the Word of God. Registrations at the Summer School at pintail. Rev, C. H.

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS Published by Direction of Hon. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agriculture Increase Bacon Exports Ottawa.—An increase of 5,738,000 lbs., or nearly 285 per cent.,was shown in the export sales of Canad- ian bacon and ham to all countries for the first quarter of this year. Sales this year amounted to 7,752,- 000 lbs. as compared • with 2,013,000 lbs. in the first three months of '31. For the week ended June 10 the price of Canadian bacon in the Bri- tish market ranger from 54 to 58 shillings per long cwt. An average price which was second only to the Irish product. Sell Canadian Tobacco There is special interest in the following item which appears in the current issue of the Economic An- nalist, official organ of the Agriclu- tural Economics Branch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture: "Brands of smoking tobacco and cigarettes made wholly of Canadian grown tobacco were introduced into Great Britain during 1931 and have met with a very fair meastfre of suc- cess. Canadian manufacturers were the first to offer a Canadian pipe to- bacco and very recently a cigarette made entirely of Canadian • bright leaf has been placed on the market, Getting Rid of Ants One of the perennial problems of the greens'keeper at nearly all Can- adian golf cribs is keeping the greens free from ants. Specialists In agrostolo'gy of the Dominion Expers imental • Farms find that they can be controlled to a good extent by the use of carbon bisulphide. This is' obtained in liquid form and when re- leased turns into a heavy gas. A Mall quantity placed on each ant hill will break up that particular col- ony, A wet sack about a foot square is placed over the hill after it has been treated, which will hold the gas i in the soil and make the destructive effect more thorough. The gas is highly 'inflatnable. Tomato Cutworm Control An effective control has been dis- covered for cutworms by spreading moist, poisoned bran mash around the plants after sundown. Since cut- worms are night feeders it is impor- tant to have the mash freshly spread and in an attractive condition during the night time. The worms will take this bait and clic, Make the mash as follows, 50: pounds bran, pound. white arsenic or 1 pound of Paris Green. Mix these thoroughly toge- ther, then add water enough to make a moist mash, and add one pint of cheap molasses to sweeten the bait. -Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Britain Takes More Cattle The Dominion Live Stock Market report for the week ended June 9, carries some particularly interesting information with respect to the movement of cattleto markets in Great Britain. The overseas ship- ments to Birkenhead for the week covered by the report totalled 1008 head, bringing the total volume of exports in beef cattle to date to '7, 567, an increase of 1,049 over the corresponding period for 1931. Adopt Egg Regulations An•tendements to the federal egg, regulations have now been finally adopted by the province of Ontario by proclamation in the official On- tario Gazette, according to a state- ment issued by G. B. Rothwell, Do- minion Live Stock' Commissioner. The egg regulations are administer- ed by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa under the authority of federal statute, and their adoption by Ontario makes them fully operative throughout the Dominion. The gen- eral principle of the regulations is not altered in any way in the amend- ments. Some changes have been made in country buying regulations designed to secure for the producer full graded value for his product. Average Is Higher An increase of 17 eggs per hen in the average production of farm flocks throughout Canada is indicat- ed in a report just issued by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics. These showe that in 1931 there were 30,- 940,616 egg -producing hens on farms which laid a total of 286,882,447 dozen eggs, or an average of 112. eggs per bird as compared with the average of 95 eggs per bird for 1928, 1929 and 1930, Equally significant is the reduction in the number of laying hens—from, over 35,000,000 in 1930 to less than 30,000,000 in 1931. This also supports the claim by produce teen now being freely voiced that there is likely to be a shortage of dressed fowl for the coming poultry season. Indications are that the crop of chicken will be fairly heavy in volume and particularly well fin- ished but that fowl may be scarce. Weed Classified Under the Seeds Act, administer- ed by the Dominion Seed Branch at Ottawa, weeds are classified as fol- lows: (1) Primary noxious, the nine members of which are: couch grass, bladder, campion, dodder, field bind- weed, Johnson grass, ox -eye daisy, perennial sow thistle, white cockle and wild mustard. (2) Secondary noxious: ball mus- tard, blue weed, Canada thistle, chic- ory, cow cockle, darnel, docks, false flax, forked catchfly, purple weed (great), ragweed (perennial), rib grass, Russian thistle, stick -seed, stinkweed, tumbling mustard, hare's ear mustard, night -flowering catch- fly, wild carrot, wild oats, and wild radish. (3) Other Weeds. This group con- tains the long list of lesser weeds such as catnip, lamb's quarters, pep pergrass, etc. Nature's Use of Water Probably the most important sin- gle factor in plant life is water. One of the marvels of the universe is nature's use of this element as the principal medium in the growth de- velopment and transportation of con- sistent chetnical elements from the soil and from the air for transforma- tion into plant structure, and in this work a lot of water is used, Seven years' study carried out by experts of the Dominion Experimental Farms at Swift Current Station, show, for instance, that itt the pro- duction of wheat from 1,000 t.a 1,974 pounds of water have actuailly been used in the production of one pound of grain. ' To put it another way, for each bushel of grain produced 30 to 59.4 tons or 150 to 297 barrels of water were used. There was also found that one inch of rainfall over an acre of land is equwalent to 1.13 tons of water. Quality Increases Sales An increase of over 2,000,000 lbs., representing some 3,525 head of beef cattle, for the first four months of the present yearis indicated in the last issue of the Live. Stock and Meat Trade Review prepared by the Markets Intelligence Service of the Dominion Live Stock Branch. Sales for the first four months of 1931 to- talled 5,03',396 lbs., while for the corresponding period in 1932 they to- talled 7,047,365 lbs. Cattle Exports Grow Figures appearing in the official Review 'of the Origin and Quality of Commercial Live Stock Marketed in Canada, issued by the Markets In- telligence Service of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, present an inter- esting picture of cattle exports, which were, by provinces: For All Dairy Other Total Purposes Cattle 1931 Br.

While the export of cattle for dairy purposes dropped by over 4,000 head the in- crease in other types of cattle, to- talling 17,000 head, makes up the dif- ference. Like Seed Cleaning Farmers in the Swift Current dis- trict are highly appreciative of the facilities accorded them at the Fed- eral Experimental Station in the form of a Custom Cleaning Plant for seed grain. Last year upwards of 6,500 bushels , were cleaned at a rate of 5c per hundred pounds of unclean- ed grain. A great deal of the seed brought in by farmers contained wild oats, French weed and Russian thistle, the latter proving particular- ly difficult to clean from flax seed: Trade Representatives The Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' interests will be advanced by the recent appointment of Karl B. Conger as trade promotion repre- sentative on the Montreal and dis- trict markets this year. Mr. Conger is well-known in the perishable pro- duce business in Eastern Canada, be= ing formerly associated with the Do- minion Fruit Exchange at Ottawa. Growers have expressed themselves as pleased with the appointment, feeling that everyone will be given fair and honest representation and that defects in grading and. packing will be eliminated gradually. The Markets Council has also reappoint- ed H. E. Toms as trade representa- tive on the Prairie markets. It will be recalled that Mr. Toms demon- strated very clearly the value of an. Ontario Representative to promote the sale of Ontario produce in the West last year. He has just return- ed to Winnipeg after visiting the principal markets on the Prairies and reports conditions greatly improved over a year ago, with prospects for a record being established for Ontario produce on Western markets this year. There will also be -a representative of the growers handling their pro- duce in the Maritimes. Mrs. Hilton: "William, what are these Russian steppes that I read so much about in the newspapers?" Mr. Hilton: "One of the new -fang-• led dances, I s'pose!" * * * * "Bothered much by hikers asking for rides when you're out driving?" "Not now. Tried a new plan.
