this fall information for busy farmer the historical facts about goodwood cemetery the goodwood cemetery grounds which was enlarged just recently from a plot of one acre to that of one and a half acrethe new section of which was dedicated last monday has an interesting history it dates back for nearly a century the first deed was granted by one william long who came rrom pickering and who occupied the farm on which the first land of the cemetery came off it is known as the uastou farm from which the c n k have in recent years been removing a great amount of gravel to toronto the local deed was issu ed about the year 1s35 long who granted the land later moved to michigan where he died two of his family of ten or twelve children were however interred in the grounds which their father gave they are mrs edward davis mother of our mr davis and also a brother jos whose body was brought here from hallantrae at this early date the third concession was settled fairly well by well remembered families many of whose descend ants are still with us as the waggs stovers dillons ann purdy hilts nibbs degcers woolmans storrvs meyers stewarts shavers mc- guehins todds lancers staffords watsons collins while we might go on and mention the dowswell family and many others from the surround ing locality off the third line in recent years the cemetery got into disrepair hut since mr isaac wagg moved to goodwood ten years ago he has interested himself great ly in the betterment of this city of the dead until today it is a resting place worthy of those interred tliere- n simualtaneous with the granting of the deed a church was built and the old wooden structure stood there for long years until it was myster iously burned thereby ending a squabble as to who owned or had the right to the disbanded old struct ure the evangelical body held meet ings in the church for years but alter they gave up the ivork the building was never used again for regular services at the time the church was most active the settle ment was heavily timbered and said mr wagg to the tribune i have heard my father say that in isis the third concession north was only a blazed trail and he helped cut down the trees that cleared the roadway thomas wagg father of our isaac wagg of goodwood was among the most active pioneers of he district the settlement north and west of goodwood was known as the wagg settlement isaac wagg as we said before did much to bring about better condi- lluim at the cemetery after he re tired in goodwood lie is now honor ary president of the cemetery board which was organized two years ago and has accomplished much in its short history a line fence surrounds the property the grounds are nicely levelled and the grass kept cut now with the addition of the

show will be held in cooperation with the palis argicultural society on september 20th classes are provided for four breeds of dairy cattle with a prize list of over 1- 000 offered in 192u at this show there were 220 cattle shown from some of the outstanding herds in western ontario o valuable meadow results good ordinary meadow mixtures of clover and timothy can be in creased as high as 49 per cent green weight by proper fertilization this is the average result of ten carefully conducted tests throughout the province last summer by the depart ment of chemistry in these tests onehalf acre blocks of meadow were measured off during early spring and fertilizer of various mixtures was ay- plied in most cases the fertilizer as sown with the drill the average gain for the entire lest was a little over a ton per acre green weight this showed a nice return on the money invested in fertilizers the addition made to the meadows in these tests averaged about 300 pounds per acre or represented an investment of five to six dollars per acre crop poiuiiiions recent reports from agricultural representatives would indicate that the yields of fall wheat and spring grains have been exceptionally good weather conditions have been ideal for the storing of grain and for stook threshing which is becoming very popular crops such as potatoes beans sugar beets corn and tobacco will have light fields due to lack of rainfall the yields of all fruits especially apples and grapes will be detrimentally affected pastures in many sections were severely burned and many dairymen especially in western ontario have had to resort to feeding their cattle grain and ensilage this expense in addition to the low price paid for milk at the cheese factories has caused the farmers no little concern the short age of pasture has also increased the shipments of cattle and lambs with the result that many cattle will be sold at a loss doing valuable work the work done at the hidgetown experimental farm in selecting and propagating a variety of beans that is freer from disease and gives a much greater yield than varieties formerly grown has alone justified the establishment of this farm this is only one branch of work uhlpr- takeu there which is of substantial benefit to individual farmers of southwestern ontario and to the province as a whole valuable work has been done with tobacco canning factory crops cereal grains and hogs resides this w r reed the super intendent and his staff have been in strumental in helping along the good work done at the agricultural vocational school on ridgetown a contrast in weather the contrast in weather condi tions during the present summer in southern and northern ontario and in quebec has been of a most astonishing nature and holds more than a touch of irony for farmers generally in the north and in que bec the rain came in such copious ijunrititiea that crops were injured seriously in some districts in old ontario particularly in the soiith- west crops sweltered day after day under a merciless sun for a period of nearly two months rainfall figur es for july afford the most striking illustration of what the countryside has borne in southern ontario the rainfall was 53 inches whereas the average figure is 35 inches of mois ture quebec on the other hand had the greatest rainfall in thirty years- the total for the mouth was 50 inches as compared with a normal of 37 inches use plenty of litter it is good policy to use an abun dance of clean fresh litter in the laying pens and a poor economy to restrict the quality even when auction
