J. WALLACE, 38â€"50p OF FARM FERTILIZERS The following article will no doubt be of special interest to a great many readers of The Advance. It is kindly furnished to The Advance by Mr. J. P. Ballantyne, Superintendent of the Experimental Station at Kapuskasing, Ont. :â€"â€" In a climate such as is found in Northern Ontario, where the frost is' severe in winter, the handling of winâ€" ter manure is not an easy problem if: the manure is left in the yard. For a time before the snow becomes too deep in the fields it is quite certain that where manure can be applied from the barn to the field that it is the cheapest and most economical way to handle it ; but at the Dominion Exâ€" perimental Station, Kapuskasing, it has been found that where manure is applied from the barn direct to the field the weed seeds in the manure are ‘‘Not an Easy Problem,‘‘ Says the Head of the Kapuskasing Exâ€" perimental Farm killed. On the other hand, however, when the spring comes the manure is on the land and seeding operations may begin as soon as the land is ready to work, which is one of the main facâ€" tors in maturing crops in Northern Ontario. If the manure be left to acâ€" cumulate in the yard it cannot be apâ€" plied in the spring and the land seedâ€" ed early enough to allow the crops sufficient time to fully mature. The elay soil of Northern Ontario will not stand driving on with wagons or manâ€" ure spreaders when it is wet. When the soil will permit of driving on it, it is time to seed rather than to apâ€" ply manure. ~ A "ty The most satisfactory method found at this Station has been to apply manâ€" ure on the timothy soil before fall ploughing. The land is then ready for hoed crop in the spring and as soon as the soil is fit, seeding may begin. One difficulty with this method 18 that manure is not always available to apply to the hoed erop land in the fall, and must be applied in the winter or spring. At the present time, the manure is spread on in the fall until such time as the snow becomes too deep. After this occurs, the manure is put in piles in the field and spread on in the spring, which gives fair reâ€" sults, but where the straw is long diffiâ€" culty is experienced in getting it proâ€" perly disked in. Another solution is to pile the manure for a summer and then apply when it is properly rotted and the weed seeds killed, Calgary.â€"What is credited to be the largest potato ever produced in Alberta, one of the most producive potato growing areas in Western Caâ€" nada, has recently been dug by E.

It measures 24 inches lengthwise and 14%, inches at the narrowest part of the girth. Safe Speedy Relief TEMY®ET Ti Two Thousand Expected at Banquet to Lieut.â€"Governor THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The banquet to be held in the Royal Coliseum, Toronto, on January 18th. in honour of Colonel Henry Cockâ€" shutt, LL.D., who retires from the Lieutâ€"Governorship a week earlier, is the largest affair of its kind ever held in Canada. Not only will the attendanceâ€"2,â€" 000 are expectedâ€"break all records, but in many other ways a high mark will be set. Such an event has never before been ever thought of and its magnitude will be readily understood when it is stated that nearly three hundred cooks, waiters, dishâ€"washers, checkâ€"room â€" attendants and ushers will be needed to attend to the wants of the enormous crowds. New York in proâ€"Volstead days saw many eccentic banquets. On one ocâ€" casion members of a famous hunt club sat astride their horses and ate from high tables; other banquets have had an equine flavuur vained by the presâ€" ence of famous raceâ€"horses as pamperâ€" ed guests of honour, who delicately mbhlcd sugar proffered by fair finrrer.s. But never, even in New York, has the tanbark ring served as a dining room. Armies of workmen are now engaged in the work of converting the huge area at the Exhibition into a banquet hall. Over half an acre of canvas will be required to cover the tanbark with, beneath it, nearly a mile and a half of a yardâ€"wide heavy brown wrapping paper. Music, during the dinner, is to be rendered by the famous Toronto Transportation â€" Commission Concert Band of fortyâ€"eight pieces. The outâ€" standing artistic contribution to the programme will come from the Toronâ€" VETERAN MATTAWA MAYOR DEFEATED AT ELECTION Despatches from Mattawa say that at the recent election. after having served almost continuously on the council since 1886, George L. Lamothe, veteran mayor of Mattawa, was deâ€" feated at the polls by John Lindsay, his opponent, by 17 votes. After serving on the council for fifteen years Mr. Lamothe was elected mayor for the first time in 1901 and. since that time, has held that office for twentyâ€"one terms. Councillors electâ€" ed were Frank Baker, A. J. Fink, Steven Sloan, Felix Turcotte, Phillip Simpson and Samuel Tongue. DISCOVERY CREDITED TO ELECTRICAL SURVEY It is officially announced that the Boischatel Mines have contracted with Mr. Shewin F.

A mining en< gineer and geologist, he secured his training in the operation of electrical prospecting equipment directly under io y 7 Fas | t dsn sns mdns on Mc w s .2 T the instruction of Prof. Schlumberger. He had explored for ore bodies in France. Roumania and Algiers, as well as considerable work on oil, gas and other minerals in Texas and the Southern Amerian States. The Schlumberger system has been operated successfully by Mr. Kelly in Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba and the discovery of the large ""E‘"‘ and e C TT NP OE (H‘‘ ore bodies on the Noranda Mines are credited to him, while he also worked out an accurate delimitaâ€" tion of the ore zones on the Flin Flon property in Manitoba. Mr. Kelly‘s most recent work has been done in the new Red Lake camp. Operating for the Department of Mines, he spent the summer of 1925 on the properties of the Torontoâ€"Red Lake Exploration Syndicate and the Dunlop Syndicates. in Red Lake. A body of sulphide ore was mapped on the Toronto Red Lake property suttiâ€" cient to warrant the recommendation of extensive diamond drilling. While his contract in the Department of Mines has not been fully completed, Mr. Kelly has received leave of abâ€" sence to undertake the work for the Boischatel â€" Mines. A number of other mining companies, both in Onâ€" tario and Quebec, are arranging to use the Schlumberger system and exâ€" tra equipment has been ordered from France and experienced operators enâ€" eaged to come to Canada‘ The next band concert is scheduled for Sunday evening, Jan. 16th. in the Goldfields Theatre after the chugeh services.
