Burritt met the Artemesia Council on Monday with a view oi coining to some arrangement in re- gard to having the Power lIou«e children attend the Kimberley school. It is difficult for them to go to either Eugenia of Vandeleur schools on ac- count of the hills and distance. The matter of their school has been an unsettled affair since August 1931, although only recently brought to the notice of the sections involved. The Kimbei.ey section is willing for the children to attend, while Artemesia is the township where they should at- tend. It is the distance to Kimber- ley and the hills in the home town- ship. We feel encoui-ac'ed to think that an early settlement of the difficulty may be arranged. The (iUei>lion is: who should provide foi the transportation of the pupils.

CLEAN NESTS, CLEAN EGGS It takes less time to p.acc cban straw in the nests than it takes to clean eggs. Some eggs will bejonit dirty in spite of the best of care, but the egg cleaning work is greatly re- duced if the nests are cleaned at egg gathering time when dirt is noticed and a little clean straw is added onco or twice each week. This is a good early morning job before the hens start using the nests. If you havt no straw stack, keep a bale of straw in each laying house so that a meas- ure of the loose straw can be worked up and added by handfuls to any nests where the boards are becoming ticar or the straw is soiled. A TREASURED CLOCK Peter iW. Currie, Fifth Line, Cale- don, West, has a clock which ho treasures highly. Mr. Carrie's grand tfother, an old sailor, received the clock in exchange for a watch from the Captain of the siiling vessel "Fairy Queen" on which he sailed from Toronto to Rochester in 1837 As the new owner walked north to his new farm in Caledon, carrying the clock, he was arrested at Brampton as a spy, and as he spoke oni'y Gaelic he had considerable trouble clearing himself. The clock was taken from him and he did not recover it until three years l8ter.,Thc clock, with a 30-hour weight, keeps excellent time and has been owned by three genera- tions of the Currie family. â€" Orange- ville Banner. pitcher of idolatry; 2. material ne- cessity .ind 0. unbelief.

STEWART'S DISEASE OF CORN TOO iNlUCH Sir AGii Authorities claim that silage is an extra good feed if it is no' abused 'i wo kinds of abuse are to feed too !i'U2h and to let the surnliij accumu- late in the mangers. It should mt b-? forgotten that silage is larrely water. If the eows are encoura to cram themselves with silage the expense of grain and hay they will not be getting enough nutrients- to -sustain their bodies and a profit- able flow of mi^"c. Preferably the grains should be fed on top of the silage so that it will be eaten fiist and then not more silage than v/ill b(» eaten readily. If there is a .=iurpln •â-  it is well to clean this out of the mangers dnily. -Agricultural authorities are becom- ing concerned about Stewart's Disease of Corn. This disease, so far, .s most serious in the Southern States, though it has penetrated as far nor'.ti as Ontario. Damage of one million dollar? annually has been reporteo iirom Ohio. Last season the disease made its appearance in Norfolk, Es- sex and Kent counties. Sweet coi'n and tlu' oarly-plantcd field varieties se"m to be the most susceptible. Once established it will live for at least three years in the soil, depending on weather conditions. Mild winters favor the disease. A field may be attacked any time between germination and tasseling and a badly damaged plant wilt-,, turns yellowish, becomes stunted ani, either there are no cobs or thus? are shrivelled. The whole field has thy appearance of being hit by frost or a severe drought and is often confused with these weather conditions. T. Stewart Cooper, Agricultural Representative of Grey County and Secretary of the committee which is working to bring the Provincial Plowing Match to Grey County this year, has sent a circular letter to the members of the Municipal Councils outlining the conditions and regula- tions which would exist if this plow- ing match waj held in Grey County this coming fall. Much interesting information is contained in ths letter and a summary of this information follows: Control of the match would be divided between the central' committee which is the executive of the Plow- men's Association, and a committee which would have charge of various local matters, Three members of the committee would be added to the di- rectorate of the Plowmen's Association to attend all meetings previous to. during and after the plowing match The combined county and Owen Sound grant should be §1,500 and in addition the city would have to pro- vide a banquet. The Dominion Gov. ernment grant to the plowing match would be $300 and the Provincial Gov- ernment grant $500. In addition $56 will be given by the province to tht local plowing matches, of which thei-£ are six in Grey County, making an- other $300 in grants. Grey County competitors would get the .?300 grant- ed to local plowing matches, since the match would be confined to Grey County competitors during the fii-st day, or possibly to Grey and Bruce competitors. The plowing match would be free to everybody but there would be a 25 cent charge for parking cars. The money collected in this manner wouid go to the committee. This money, to- gether with private donations and the regular provincial grants to the town- c-hip plowing matches would be used by the local committee to defray ex- penses incidental to the match. All grants and entry fees would be collect- ed by the provincial executive for distribution as prizes, etc. The farms on which the plowing is done must be given free of charge and 100 teams would have to be loaned free ol charge, but from $300 to $600 would be distributed as prizes for farmers' teams, these prizes going to the own- ers of the horses, not the drivers. In addition, all team owners wom'd be given a free ticket to the banquet. Shelburne Council has arranged to i-eceive advance payments on 1933 taxes in accordance with a schedule drawn up. Five per cent, per annum is allowed on all such payments. if BATES.
