Good seed's plumb wasted on morass soil like that, It needs draining. 1t needs the surplus liquor taken off and has to be dug so that sunshine and fresh air gets a look in. © A sower can sow ten bushel of good seed to the acre on land like this and the whole business will rot in the soggy ~ ground. Better get a ditching machine or a good spade and drain that lot first, then come #long with your seed. You'll be surer of a crop.

It was as scifish as a poor sport as wants to win a game by tricks. + That there was good land that raised the twitch grass, but it got all cluttered up with this kind of meanness, and of course it hadn't no use for any other kind of growth. But Jim Jones, he wasn't 'going to be fooled out of what was his'n that way, so he hitched up his team to the plow and went rip tearing through that quack grass until there was a heep of them strong roots showing on top. Then he dragged out more with the cultivator and the harrows, and after that he put the old mare in the rake and gathered all of that "there grass together that he could and burnt it. . It took him all summer . to get that field clean, for twitch grass is terrible stuff to spread ; but he can put his seed in now all right and gets dandy crops. Good folks must go farming with new machinery--sowing seed ain't most of the time is spent in going to drain the land or rip out the willows or burn the twitch grass: There's something more to be done than sowing. We'll have to use just ordinary tools like the business plow that turns out a straight, clean furrow every day, -clean cut and even, one to be * trusted always, It's a man's job plowing like this every day and not ng spots where the weeds of dishonesty can grow.. ' ~~ Women folks can do their part letting in the sunshine of good will . and charity, and forgetting to say some biting things about folks. Every- body can Sow a little of the salt of decency. _ And 'the "young people can Yun the cultivator of clean sport. 5 There's jobs for us all and we'd better get busy or some of us will find ; the weed patch growing sa large that it covers our fields too. g to There'll. be work for some to see that there ain't no noxious weeds let grow on the sides of the highways of life. : There's a heap to do in summer fallowing little fields that has got choked up with things as spoils - life--sour, soggy lives as is plumb discouraged. . There's jobs as has to . be done alone--only you and the other fellow what you're summer fal- fallowing knows what's going on, and he don't know all about it either, Jim Jones never said a word about sowing good seed; he kept that idea 1n the back of his head though, and was right on hand with the seed when the proper time come. aL .

That the Hydro Electric Commis- sion seek to take over all available water powers in Ontario for the de- velopment and distribution of electri- city in the Province. 2. The Federal Government is to be asked to grant the bonus of $6,400 per mile to Radial Railways within Ontario upon the ground that they are of general utility and benefit to the people.
