ADDITIONAL LOCALS The directors of East Grey Agri- cultural Society were royally enter- tained at the home of the President, Kr. Robert Richardson, on Monday evening of this week. Thin was a regular meeting of the directors, call- ed for business, although not a groat deal of business was done. The first Vice-President, Mr. Pindlay, oc- cupied the chair. The matter of a field crop competition was taken up, and after conaiderable dtsenasion it was decided to take up mangolds this year instead of oata, owing to the difficulty of getting good seed in the latter. I Some rumors had been going around that the Secretary had negteeted to ' pay certain prize monies. A definite i statement had been noade by an exhib itor to one of the directora that he had not been paid his prize money in 1925. The Secretary produced the cheque sent this man in January of 192S, con- taining his endorsation, showing pay- ment at Markdale. It ia remarkable how a man can make a false state- ment of this kind.
