page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday nov 7th 1940 qjlje tflttffmll rilmne established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1400 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 5200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment stouffville a famous plow centre we doubt if there is another locality in all canada with so many famous plowmen men with provincial repu tation for their great work at international and local mat ches as is to be found in stouffville district yes now we might add that our fame has gone beyond the borders of this country since the outstanding success of fred tim bers at the state match in iowa last week if there is any thing at all in getting better results from turning a good furrow the farms around stouffville ought to be among the high producers of the province we have many cham pions of the plow here and new ones are coming on too to check motor accidents the ontario government has decided to pay 500 to those responsible for the apprehension and conviction of hit and run motorists efforts are being made to put a definite check on the mounting toll of fatal motor car accidents at torney general conant called a meeting recently at which business men and traffic officers discussed ways and means of combatting this growing menace while it has been shown that the reduction in the speed limit has lowered the number of accidents it has been found almost impossible to enforce the law adequately because of the small number of provincial traffic officers available an appeal is being made to the individual motorist to cut down his speed on good roads especially after dark asks provincial aid the barrie town council has asked the attorney- general of ontario for assistance in policing the town there had been considerable anxiety in barrie all summer but the assault of a young woman on a crowded street by an intoxicated soldier brought the situation to a head and the town requested the aid of provincial police the vast majority of the men in the canadian army are sober highlyminded citizens they come from our canadian homes and could scarcely be otherwise it is im possible however to bring together 30000 men chosen chiefly for physical fitness and not get some irresponsible individuals and probably some vicious ones both these quantities are apt to be intensified and more widely preval ent when men are in liquor barrie is quite naturally the evening rendezvous for the boys from camp borden its streets its homes its picture shows and unfortunately its beerrooms are throng ed with soldiers healthy happy lads they are out for some ordinary human interest or some fun a crowd of sober canadians is usually harmless when drink is intro duced into a crowd such as frequents barrie it is only a matter of time until some tragedy moral or physical happens because human beings under liquor are subnor mal drink undercuts fitness wastes the countrys war effort dissipates finances and weakens our economic strength disturbs public order the appeal of the barrie council is a perfectly justifiable one buckwheat as a farm crop the dominion bureau of statistics publishes an interesting and informative article on buckwheat which we pass on to our readers the great majority of whom are farmers it has been said that there should be no idle acres but frequently there is a low lying area which in some seasons cannot be properly utilized until too late for the ordinary cereals such a location might be profitably sown to buckwheat as a generalpurpose crop suited to farming conditions in eastern canada buckwheat has many advan tages it will thrive on comparatively infertile light sand or on soil which tends to be acid or lacks drainage for this reason it can be grown on land which might otherwise re main idle buckwheat is important commercially having long been considered an excellent food both for human beings and for animals the whole grain is used extensively for livestock purposes being considered by many as almost interchangeable with barley buckwheat flour is used frequently combined with flours of other grains to make a pancake flour mixture it should be sown late in the season as it is necessary to have the crop blossom after the heat of midsummer there are two types of this crop but the smooth hull ed type is more generally grown silverhull and japanese are common varieties of this type and the ones grown for milling purposes the other type is rough hulled and gives a good yield of grain for feeding purposes last year the production of buckwheat in canada totalled 6848000 bushels valued on the farm at 4 083- 000 york is proud of him it must hae been a great thrill for fred timbers of milliken to take the plowing championship of the united states at davenport iowa on tuesday this york county boy has brought a lot of honors home in the past
