Sentence was de- ferred until Dec. 8. The assault fol- lowed a drinking "bout, in which the accused consumed two and a half quarts of homemade -corn wine and three quarters of a bottle of moon- shine liquor. He then went to his grandfather's house and created a disturbance. Jackson, who called to deliver some goods, V was asked "to take `Poulette away, whereupon the` latter `struck him several times in the face. The assault occurred on Oct. 25 last. The liquor was purchased from a man named Poucette, who is now serving time as a result of the fracas. A T.V__2J _._ -- -.E (`1_..-...._ _--2L..,......._ .... J... WILD Lcyul.

Growers must get down to producing one variety. Buyers will not accept shipments that con- tain both long and round potatoes. The grower must help the sell in the market that is flooded from all parts of the country. .The speaker stated that the potato fair was a splendid start and if an effort is continued Simcoe county potatoes can be made as well known as those from New Brunswick.

BEST METHODS IN- .P,0'l'ATO CULTURE. row BY nxrms About_100 men and boys inter- ested ine potato culture met in the Public Library hall last__Saturday af- ternoon while the exhibits in- the open competition were being judged in the town`hall_ and listened to ad- dresses on various phases of potato growing by experts. Agricultural Representative Stewart Page, who presided, emphasized the importance of co-operation on the -part of Simcoe potato growers to produce a better product than has been` done in the past. He pointed out that Simcoe grows more potatoes than an other countyin the province and t at the soil is splendid, but until the pro- duct is improved local growers can't hope to get into the larger markets.

If anything else requires attention the potatoes can wait. Seed is the most important factor in potato growing, for unless the finest seed is used, the grower is up against a losing proposition from `the start. Large potatoes are not looked on with favor in the markets, the ideal size being from eight to twelve ounces. In order to produce a uni- form size , the seed should be planted fairly close together, about ten or twelve inches, though if the -`%oil is dry more room would be required. nu ' 1 ..9- ,`I 3.. 1].. 2 "Some diseases are carried in the `seed and cannot -be seen.

C. Hart, director of the co-operation and markets branch of the department of atri- culture, and emphasized by him throughout his address. Ontario, he stated, has a bad reputation among potato dealers because some farmers are turning out scabby, rotten pota- toes and putting them on the market. This discredits all Ontario growers and is unfair, because many growers are producing splendid potatoes. The potato market is different from others in that theresis no other crop where thereis such a variation in pricein different localities at {the same time. The speaker expressed the opinion that the or2;anization_ for marketing and distributing, needs some looking into. `Eu.

By directing their atten- tion to the production of one type of -potatoes and working up a reputa- tion for the `quality of their product they could make Simcoe county as famous for its potatoes as Peel is for alfalfa. To do this requires organ- ized effort. He stated that the pre- sent organization which operates at Craighurst benefits the growers, gives an improved -quality to cus- tomers and makes sales easier and `he advised the extension of the or- ganization to cover the potato dis- tricts of the county.

The first concern of the i race, he said, is to find something to eat. As there is no more universal crop than potatoes it is fitting that all should be interested in it. There `are two main classes of these tubers. :The_one we know best is called the [Irish potato to distinguish it from `the sweet variety, although it did not I originate in Ireland. Potatoes and` corn `are two great crops native of -America. Most of the corn is grown in Ainerica but not so with potatoes. In many parts of the world the per capita consumption is higher than here. It is probable that the class we know best was called Irish be- cause of the large part this `food plays in the Irish diet. -,, _ _- __--_,-_.`l.'.'l L_l I.--J- -.- ---V _--_-. -.-v-. Mr. Buchanan then- proceeded to give a botanical talk on potato repro- duction. Potatoes are enlarged tips of underground ' stems. Potatoes used to seed freely, but this is not common now." A desire .for large potatoes causedtthe sending of the nourishment from the seed down into the tubers. New varieties are got from seed. No matter how many l varieties were planted in a_ hill, there :'would be no blending. ` ---Wonderful bargains in ladies , misses and children's winter cloth coats. Complete clearance of ' all coats.
