DAY, sap-remsaa-8.. 1927? ..-..-.... -v ..,~-..- \lvIvo "" ' _ I This year the quarantine area inl Ontario, set up -by the departmen`r.' .some years ago, has been "extended: until now the clay belt, north of the} height of land in Northern Ontario,i is about the only area in the province into which _corn cannot be shipped.

Broken stalks are the first indication of its presence- It eats the heart out: `of the stalk and finally attacks the? lcob. No damage is noticeable untilg lthe 'corn starts to silk out. b ; . The presence of the corn borer was reported by a Mr. Holden who has an ,estate a-t Shanty Bay. Samples have ;been sent to Guelph Agricultural Col- 'lege and identification made. Alex. Cockburn, of Barrie Collegiate staff, has also identified the presence of the : pest from samples taken from the! Holden gardens. a I If Weatherconditions continue fav- orable signs point` to an excellent I yield this season -of potatoes, one of the most remunerative ' of S_imcoe Ccunty s field crops, according to a survey `just made by Stewart L. Page, district agricultural representative. Other roots promise a fair crop, -but nothing unusual, he states. An in- teresting observation `is'_ that the wheat this year is much better in the I `sou-th than in the -north of the county, except for a, few isolated cases. This is probably due to the fact that the south had several August rains which ,. did not visit the northern parts, and |. _ the bsence of which prevented the]? whea from filling out. A small sec-: tion around Stayner alone shows an average wheat yield in North Simcoe. Corn Borer Identified There is nothing to be alarmed I I , about in the reported invasion of the J 1 corn borer in Barrie district, Mr. Page 1 states. Its presence-has been report- 1 ed in these parts for some years, par- < ticularly in the Orillia district, where` it `has seriously checked the yield of 1 sweet corn. But farmers hereabouts l are no longer growing a great deal of] : silage corn. Sweet clover has been! found to prove an excellent substitute I and is being stored in the silos of ,] Northi-Simcoe with good success, Mr. Page states. . b .1 CORN Boaian. lDENTlFlEDi `But No Alarm Is Felt--Sweet!

He i had a small army of witnesses pre- ' sent, soldiers from the camp, but at * the last moment decided to plead ` guilty. On August 29 last, McCul- lough rounded a curve on the wrong side of the road just opposite the Clark property, at the` lower end of Burton avenue, and crashed into a car,driven by D. R. Brown of North Cobalt Both cars were more or less smashed, McCullough having since settled with D.` R. Brown. It was while this wreckage was being clear- ed away that Maurice W. Brown, also of Camp Borden, now out on $1.000 bail, crashed into a group of cars, in- juring Morley Livingston, in charge of the wrecking car. Maurice Brown will appear on Sept. `27.

Mr. Peacock was black and blue _from head to foot. Has License Suspended I J. McCullough, a Camp Borden s_oldier, was fined $15 and costs and had his license suspended for ten days, when convicted of reckless driving. McCullough didn't see_m to understand that he would not be able to drive his car back to the camp. You leave it just where it is in Barrie and come back for it in ten days, - Magistrate Jeffs further ex- plained. Constable Bowman volun- teered to look after it.` jm rrmay morning's traffic court, Has he fined Tony Caruso, Colling- lwood fruit dealer, $25 and costs for -`reckless driving. Caruso had pre- qviously adjudged himself of the of- ? `fence and assessed his own fine, send- ing a cheque for $13.25, but this idid not satisfy the court at all, and `Caruso s appearance was required last Friday, when the magistrate call- 'ed the tune"`and Caruso obliged. 5 The prosecution arose out of an v,?cident which occurred on August i 2 last when F. W. Peacock, an em- lployee engaged on the provincial highway between the 12th and 13th A concessions of Innisfil, was struck by Caruso s truck while he was standing with one foo-t on the run- ninguboard of a standing car, talking to the driver. Evidence was that Caruso was coming fast, steadily `gaining on another car just ahead of him.- Caruso s counsel explained that fit was a matter of striking the car `ahead and going in the same direc- tion, or of endeavoring to steer in be- tween it and the. standing car. This latter he did and in doing so struck `Mr. Peacock, painfully injuring him, [driving his body against the standing Icar so hard that a door was smashed !in. At last accounts Caruso had set- ltled with the owner of the standing icar- Hut uni: Mr Deanna`! z 1 11111 A } Such was the verdict of the coron- er s jury inquiring into the double fatality near Crown Hill on Saturday night last, in which John A.

Mr; Baker chose as his even- L ing subject: Danger Currents in Education, choosing his text from St. John's Gospel, 7-16. He endeav- ored to show that Jesus in the words of the text `indicated that in His wis- dom and His `power to impart instruc- tion originatd in God; that He lay claim to no power Himself or, in oth- er words, was simply the medium for transmitting knowledge. All teach- ers,g the minister stated, could,prop- erly function in the - highest form only as_theygfol~Iowed the Christ ex- ample and `were the mediums for in- terpreting the divine will -in their spheres of opportunity. The secret f of the marvellous effect in Christ's ~ teaching lay in the purity of its - source . and the fidelity` with which 1 Hemadhered to it. 1.. - _-_-_\_II ,, ' A . Particularly timely was the ser- mon Sunday evening last of Rev. A. E. Baker, the recently inducted min- . ister . of V Central United Church, : who spoke to large and representative congregations morning and evening on the great problem of Education. The second Sunday in` September had been set aside by Central `Church as Educational Sunday, and the Ses- sion had issued special invitations to the parents and teachers and those charged with responsibility, to be present. With the -opening. of school just a few days past it was indeed a fitting and appropriate time to em- phasize some features -of their impor- tant duties, and this the minister did in a most capable and pleasing man- ner. The evening service, which was attended by members of the Board of .' Education and teaching staffs of the secondary and primary schools, was featured by a most instructive and` helpful sermon.
