RE ram---- ONTARIO COUNTY BOYS' CROP IMPROVEMENT CLUBS AND FER- TILIZER DEMONSTRATIONS, Farm boys and young men from 14 to 20 throughout Ontario County have through the local Branch of the On- tario Department of Agriculture been given the chance this spring to secure enough Registered Seed Grain to sow 1 to 5 acres, W. M. Croskery, the local Agricultural Representative, located and distributed Registered seed of the following yarieties, at cost, |. Oats--Alaska (Early), Banner, and 0. A. C. No. 72, Barley--O. A. C. No. 21. Peas--O. A. C. No. 181 In addition to the seed each con- testant was supplied free of charge 50 Ibs. chemical fertilizer; 0-14-6,| which means 0% nitrogen, 14% phos- phoric acid, and 6% potash was sup- plied for the oats and 2--12-6 for bar- ley and peas. . This fertilizer was to be applied on 1/5 acre at the rate of 250 Ibs. per acre. The contestants are required to keep records as to yield and some data as to whether it pays to apply com- mercial fertilizer on cheap crops like spring grains should be through this boys work. The boys getting oats were supplied with a 4 oz. sample of formalin to- gether with instructions for treating seed for smut. In addition to the grain plots, over 100 boys in the Uxbridge, Zephyr and Goodwood districts are taking part in} Potato Club work. These boys are using certified Dooley seed and are trying out an application of 4-8-10 fertilizer at 500 Ibs per acre. Last year some very interesting results were obtained with 2-12-6 fertilizer. 47 boys had an average yield of 211 bushels per acre. , 51 boys applied 600 Ibs per acre of 2-12-6 and got an increase in yield from its application of 39.5 bus. per acre, The cost of the application was $12.00 per acre, 12 men in the "300" Bushel Club ap- plied 6756 Ibs per acre of 3-8-10 and got an average increase in yield of 70.5 bushels. The cost of the applica- tion in this case was $16.70 per acre. Those getting the highest yields produced their crops at the lowest net cost per bus. in every case. FOUR DAY ROYAL FAIR TRIP The Four Day Educational Trip to be awarded again this fall to 10 On- tario County young men 16 to 21 has a string to it. This year in order to be eligible for the Live Stock and Crops Judging Competition to be held in October and through which the trip winners are selected, a boy must first submit to the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Uxbridge, a statement pertaining to the cost of producing some farm product or performing some farm operation. The projects upon which such a statement may be based are almost in- numerable. The following are sug- gested for illustrations: (a) Cost of producing any crop, i.e, oats, sugar beets, soy beans, tomatoes, apples, ete. a given period, i.e, calf, litter of pigs, baby beef, cow, etc. (c) Cost of feeding a poultry flock over a given period. (d) Cost of planting a wind break. (d) Cost of shingling a building. (f) Cost of draining a field. (g) Cost of ploughing or of oper- ating a tractor, ete.

Members of the Gom- mittee were in Whitby on Friday evening, and reported that throughout the county the roads are in splendid shape, owing to the fine spring wea- ther. No bridges or culyerts were washed out this spring. Considerable construction and main- tenance work as adopted at the Jan- uary session of the County Council, will be undertaken this year. In fact, the year's programme is now under way. Thousands of dollars will be spent, the government paying fifty per cent. of most of the expenditures, The budget for the year as adopted by the County Council is as follows: Road construction .......... $40,000 Road maintenance ..........

This is station X.Y.Z. owned and operated by a group of good citizens of a very picturesque little hamlet by the Nonguon River, with your Old Scribe announcing. Our broadcasting mike has been out of commission for some time past, and only in complying with the request of a number of friends and critics we are end ing to make a back. All those familiar with sport know that most attempted comebacks sel- dom meet with success and need not be surprised should this attempt meet with the same fate. + Many old timers were heard to re- mark following two weeks of excep- tionally fine weather that we all en- joyed. "We are going to have a real old fashioned spring and summer. Well, the weather man was a modern- ist and has a rather a distaste for things old fashioned, and has given us real weather that we have grown ac- customed to during the past few years. Even the modern young flapper would like to have the old fashioned kind in preference to the kind in vogue. It is a number of years since our country- side made such a remarkably quick change in her spring attire, from the dull drab, to the picturesque, harmon- izing colors of the blossoming trees and budding flowers against a back- ground of many shades of green. Nature has truly done her work well, have the rest of us done our part? The members of the school board of 8. S. No. 16 have secured a number of trees from the Government Forestry Branch to be planted around the acre of land recently acquired for the ex- tension of the school grounds. The boys of the future generations, will, when climbing from branch to branch, more fully appreciate the efforts of those who had them planted. A no- ticable increase in the interest being taken in the beautifying of the home surroundings of the country homes. A most enjoyable evening was spent on Friday last in the United Church under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid. The Church was well filled and the entertainment given by the Orchestra of the Port Perry United Church, un- der the leadership of Mr. Andrus, and Dr. George Hall, Sr., of Little Britain, was thoroughly enjoyed. The motion pictures shown by Dr. Hall, were taken on his European tour, and in- cluded the battlefields of France and Belgium, also pictures of local inter- est. The Ladies intend using the pro- ceeds for the purchasing of dishes for the church. Lunch was served to the entertainers at the close. Mothers' Day was observed in our Sunday School by a special program, taken partly from the prepared leaflet and suplimented by additional pro- gram. Mrs. Christie, of Port Perry, was guest speaker, and gave a very pleasing address. Mrs. A. Bruce also gave a very appropriate address. A record attendance did honour to that immortal name "Mother." The Ladies' Aid met last Wednes- day at the home of Mrs. C. W. Clarke. A good number were present, and business was completed in record time. . Preparations are being made for our S. C. Anniversary which is to be held on Sunday and Monday, June 15 and 16, Committees have been ap- pointed to make all arrangements for the making of a bigegr and better an- niversary than ever before. Further details will be given later. Services in the United Church were withdrawn on Sunday evening.last in favor of the Anniversary services at Zion.
