procured from the department they were tied up in the Customs House and almost all of the material used was prepared by the staff at their homes Added to this insufficient number of active helpers

walls are up and the form er windows on the inside wall which lighted the junior room are bricked in with larger windows being completed on the west side of the junior room The front and east wall of the addition with its large group windows and classroom entrance holds the old stone name plate dated with the figures added The main entrance to the school with its columns of stone work approached by a sixfoot wide walk will present a fine appearance from the highway Large cloak rooms for both rooms of the older building replace the other rooms The main corri dor will contain a fine teachers room cupboard space and stair way leading to the basement Provision has also been made to accommodate future plumbing- There are two entrances to the new classroom and the floors will be mastic tile They are all standard rooms with no frills said Mr Herbert Horner the architect In the new room will be built a cloak room comprising three sets of two doors which will fold back into three recesses With a sin gle key the doors will swing open thus the contents of the cloak room may be under supervision of the teacher explained Mr Horner This space will be ade quately ventilated when the doors are closed Mr Horner is very proud of the fact that the old belfry has been moved to the centre roof of the main building is a certain amount of sentiment con nected with the original features of the school These should be preserved The old name plate also deserved a prominent place in the structure Mr Horner commented Teachers Earlier Did It would be a shocking state of affairs today if the

Mr J Bailiff was granted per year for six years past to include postage and sta tionery Formed from Two Sections It would seem with the growth of Springhill King City now it became necessary to form a school section about Be fore that time all children resid ing on the west side of the fourth concession attended Kinghorn school while those on the east side were pupils of school Thus according to the minutes on November 20 the clerk of King notified Dr Langstaff that he had been appointed to call the first school meeting to appoint three fit and proper persons as school trust ees for the new school section formed by the municipal council out of S S 22 and 23 Accordingly in December of that same year Benjamin Lloyd Gab riel Wells and William Curtis were elected at a public meeting held in

and Express Thursday Aug Add Contour Plowing To International Match general custodians of the school school four Nevertheless when Abraham the year hitArt in ftt am In common with other parts of Ontario York county farmers are losing considerable wheat this year with wheat breaking down from damage done by the fly and to some extent also the sawfly For about ten years the hessian fly has scarcely been seen but began to make an appearance last year Agricultural Newmarket only found it in one field last year in King twp but it is to be found in practically every wheat field this year to some extent The adult is a small mosquito like fly The eggs are laid on the leaves and the maggots from these work down between the leaf and the stem The maggots suck the juice out of the stems and cause a weakened condition and breakage at or near the ground just before harvest When the maggots are mature they turn into pupae still under the leaf sheath These look like flax seeds and so this stage is referred to as the flax seed stage This is about the only time a grower is likely to see it and this will be the stage found at cutting time The adult flies merge the latter part of August and in early September and lay on vol unteer wheat or on early seeded wheat The Ontario Agricultural Col lege recommends the following control measures 1 If the field is not seeded all wheat stubble should be ploughed under completely as soon as possible after the wheat is harvested and then worked to firm the soil Very few flies will be able to emerge from such soil If ploughing cannot be done promptly let the volunteer wheat come up If it has not already started after the crop is off run a disc or cultivator lightly over the field This wheat will be earlier than the regularly seeded wheat and will act as a trap crop for the egg laying of the flies Do not plough this under until the end of September 2 No wheat should be sown before the middle of September Contour plowing competitions will be a new feature of the big International Plowing Match and farm machinery demonstration which is being held this year on the farms of John Hargreaves and his neighbors near Woodstock This was announced by A Lashley manager of the match He states this new feature is drawing a good deal of interest and support The Upper Thames River Con servation Authority is supporting a class open to local

department of Ontario Agricultural College have selected a field within walking distance of the location of the Tented City which they feel is ideal for the purpose Additional interest will ho ad ded

contour open class as well as one who will take part in the regular competi tion In turn Bob Timbers Stouffville a former champion from the International will com pete at Bethany on August and 17 Regarding other features of the International Mr Lashley states that plans are well under way fori several important demonstrations One will be the construction of a farm pond for which prelim inary
