Work on the arena will provéed within a week or two of the use of arena floor by Ritson Horse Bhow and Fair. - "People of this district just don't have any realization of what goes into making that plant ready for artificil jce freezing," commented Commission Chairman Bill Pugsley: "A person speaks, of the surface of the area as 170 feet/ by 70 feet; but when you realize /that it takes all that seven miles of pipe for the job one realizes how DIE it is." > $2.00 per year, Single Copy Be.

Good Progress With Harvesting The weekly report from the Ont- -|'ario Department of Agriculture of- fice at Uxbridge says that good pro- gress is being made with harvesting in Ontario County. Pastures are holding up well and some splendid quality second-cut hay is being har- vested. Many fields of. red clover in the county are being left to mature for seed, and look promising, the re- port adds. Reports from Durham and North- -umberland counties state that the ap- ple crop is sizing up very well, and the picking of early varieties has be- gun. Tomatoes are beginning to ri- pen, but a larger percentage than usual of blossom-end rot is reported and will influence the yield. SPEED CONTROLS. The biggest traffic killer is "speed too fast".

The sight of one of these world champs performing under their owner's hands will be a sight in itself. With good weather predicted and the track in- great shape, the fans will take to the grandstands in large numbers.

Some of the individual spi- kes were breathtaking in their love- liness. Catching the eye of gladiolus fanciers was a splendid display of seedlings, as yet unnamed, but rep- resenting patience and painstaking work on the part of the growers. Some of these .were of: wonderful quality, and fully. worthy of an abid- ing place among show varieties. Chief honor of the show, the So- ciety's Challenge Trophy for the best spike on, exhibition; was won by Dr. E. W.
