Mrs. Rawlinson, who for the past couple of years has been keeping! house for Mr. Geo: ond, left for To- ronto on Saturday last. On March 5th, there passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.

Here she grew to girlhood and married Mr. Robert Boynton who died many years ago; leaving her a widow with nine children. Of these five predecentsd her; * Arthur; who died in infancy, Annie, who died some six yeti ago at her home here, Mrs, Lillie Me Dougal, of Toronto; Dr. W.

Mrs. Boynton was always one of the staunchest members of the Prince Albert Church and was always known for liberality towards every good cause. She ught her children up in the church and its influence and they have gone foxth in tHe world to hold positions of trust and honour. Although of late years her health has been poor the end came suddenly and unexpectedly. She took very ill in the night telling those at her bed- side that she wouldn't 'be alive in the morning, "but" said e Lord is My Shepherd." 08e her last words.

Mr. J. 8. P. Thempson, of Toronto, of the Farm Products Department, of the United Farmer's Co-Operative Company was the speaker of the evening and gave a most interesting talk on class of turnips required for the Canadian and United States mar- ket. The varieties he suggested as most suitable being the Canadian Gem and Perfection; these being a nice round and average size turnip and most suited for the retail trade. He also stressed the fact that the market was calling for turnips five inches in diameter, and stated that sowing the turnips close in the row would pro- duce this effect, plants not to be more than 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows, So great has been the demand for turnips from Ontario County which have proven to be the finest in texture and sweetness that it is almost im- possible to supply the demand for the New York market alone. Over 4000 cars were shipped from the province in 1928 and the A. & P. stores alone operating over 17,600 retail stores in New York Metropolitan district had placed an open order for over 400 cars from Ontario County providing the grade and quality was obtained. Radical changes will have to be made in the method of harvesting as many turnips were ruined by harrow cuts and other mechanical injuries. Farmers were advised to take as good care of turnips as the orange growers take with their oranges in preparing them for the market, almost to the point of wrapping them in tissue paper. A further meeting was held at Port Perry on Friday evening and a record attendance was present. At the meeting held in the Depart- ment of Agriculture rooms, Uxbridge on Tuesday afternoon last there was also a good crowd of interested farm- ers and from the opinions expressed hours were spent at Railway Stations and assistance given to 1,013 persons. It may not be generally known that the Women's Christian Temperance voted to the social and moral uplift of our country. I earnestly request the ladies to help this good work by sending in by April 1st, their Surprise Soap Trade Marks and coupons. The following coupons are used: Gillett's Cream of Tartar, and Lye, Magic. Baking Powder, Magic Soda. These coupons and Trade Marks may be left at the homes of Mrs. S. Baird or Mrs. Geo. Davey.

Mrs. Fersey, who lives with her sister Mrs. Vernon, was awakened by the light of the fire shining in her room. She at once gave the alarm. In spite of his recent ill- ness, Mr. Vernon worked to save the barn. He was ably assisted by Mr. Elwood Crosier and Mr. H. Fitchett, arrived soon after, but too late to get the two cows and two horses out of the burning barn. Elwood threw out the hens from the hen house which ttered in all di and were saved. Several loads of hay and some rain were also burned. Mr. Vyrtle rosier drove thro the village continually blowing the horn of his car and so aroused the neighborhood. By the splendid work of the neighbors and the Brooklin Fire Brigade the house was saved. It was a hard fight for there was a continuous flood of sparks dropping on the house. The Port Perry Fire Brigade was unable to get to the fire on account of the bad roads. There was some insurance on barn and contents. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon are very thankful to all those who assisted at the time of the fire. Mrs. Moore visited at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ralph Butt, in Oshawa, one day last week.
