THE V'HEAT YIELD Several Carrick farmers who have threshed their wheat crops are well pleased with the results. One farm- er who had twenty acres of wheat, two acres of which, was badly drown- ed out, reports that he threshed 650 bushels of wheat this year. And there are scores of farms in Carrick which will have a heavier yield than this. The oats are occupying atten- tion this week, ajid by the 6nd of the week the bulk of the harvest will be in the stock. The 1925 harvest in this section is a very bountiful one. â€" Mildmay Gazette. ..LITTLE DIFFERENCE Dixon Rutherford, manager of the B.H. Bull & Sons farm at Brampton, where the provincial plowing match was held last year, states that in in- sr»3cting the crops he finds that there is no difference between the crops grown on Unds where the high- cut classes were held and those where the jointer classes were hejd. It seemed, however as if the jointer- plowed land worked down « little more easily in the spring, and that in the case of the high cut land the com cmp required more cultivation for weed eradication. The following Proton boys have gone West en the harvester's excur- sion: Lloyd Wauchope, Elzer Park, Ernest and Stanley Lyons and Clark Wyvilte.

Word comes from Montreal that that great family and farm paper The Family Herald and Weekly Star has been enabled to reduce its subscrip- tion price to One Dollar a year. This certainly will be interesting news in every Canadian home wherti the Family Herald is known and to many who will avail themselves of the of- fei. At Two Dollars a year The Family Herald and Weekly Star was generally admitted to be good value in fact, big value, but when reduced to One Dollar a year it will certainly be the marvel of the newspaper v«>rld. Canada is proud of that great Weekly, and has every reason to be so, as it has no superior and few eq- uals in the world to-day. The Pub- lishers announce that notwithstanding the change in price e\-ery feature will not only be maintained but im- provements will follow. The Pub- lishers are fortunate in being in a financial position to do this, and Can- adian homes will have the advantage. When the new rate is made known it certainly will bring a rush of sub- scribers to the Family Herald. One Dollar is a small amount for such a great paper.
