When the people of Canadia go the polls at the next Federal election, wheth• er it be June. August or in t931. they will go on a brand new voters' list -one espec- ially compiled for the occasion. immediately the word comes from Ott- awa the returning officer will appoint en- ume,a'ors for each subdivision, who will b, sworn to make a house•to-house canvas and to list all those residing in their di ▪ vision entitled to vote. Upon the completion of the cmvass the returning officer will sit for four days, when persons missed by the enumerators may register. Then an alphabetic list will be prepared, and any who have still failed to be recorded as entitled to vote may appeal to the senior county judge in an effort to be included among those who niay vote at the ensuing Federal election Thirty-five days before the poll is taken the list must be completed, and 18 day before the poll it must be printed and 20 copies furnished to the candidates in the e onstituency for which the list is compiled Mrs. J. Henry Hoover has retured iron an extended visit with her daughter. Mrs N. Wightman, at Timmins. Ont, The care when cultivating in spring not to spoil a good job of plowing. If you use a toothed implement in working the sol you are almost sure to brag the stubble up and make more work for yourself in picking. The best method usually is t roll the soil before working it, then use a disc, and if necessary, a packer to pulver ize it. then sow with a disc drill. Underdrainage of much of Ontario's farm land is recognized as necessary if profitable returns are to be secured. Un derdraieage lowers the water level of soils removes surplus water, lenghens the period fur crop growing, makes cultivation easier and increases the efficiency of the soil. Tile drainage increases yields in both we and dry seasons. Well drained soils re- sult in lower casts of production. Owing to public demand plans are un- der way for a more strict enforcement of the Weed Act this year. Farmers will be well advised to avoid inconvenience at or near harvest time by planning now to con trot weeds. Seed should he carefully clear tied. Weed polluted fields should nit be seeded without proper preparation even i this requires late ,owing of a special crop Weed inspectors have an opportunity to do their most helpful and pleasant wort' between now and planting time. Registration of real estate brokers and salesmen in a similar manner to that o stuck brakers and salesmen is provided for in a bill introduced in the Legislature by Premier Ferguson. IIe explained that the restrictions were similar in character to those imposed on brokerage salesmen. The bill states that no one shall deal in real estate unless he is registered. Thi also applies to salesmen or any person directly connected with the business, ex cept banks, assignees, custodians, etc. At this time of year there are usually some agents offering new varieties o grain and other crops at fancy prices. Es travagant claims are made for these which are alleged to offset the price and leave a very favorable balance. If farmers can procure more suitable sorts than they are now using they should do so, by all means but why not permit the government farm 1u do the experimenting. Trained exper imenters an these stations are testing hun dreds of varieties every year and no farm er is justified in paying a high price fo "something" until he learns how these kinds have produced in comparison with others on government farms.
