halloween linked with agriculture halloween in spite of its legendary spooks may be said to have had an agricultural origin and to the present day is associated with the fruits of the earth particularly apples there are reasons for this in tlie christian church holloween or all hallows eve is the name s evenl of tho 31st of october as the vigil of hallowmass or ah saints day before the christian era however the eve of- the a 1st of october was the occasion of harvst and other ceremonies in various countries and the festivities which gradually gathered around the christian halloween at a later date for the most part in countries under the sway of the druid religion chiefly britain plus a few indoor and outdoor celebrations borrowed from the pagan roman festival to the goddess of fruit tlie two chief characteristics of ancient halloween were the lighting or bonfires and the belief that halloween was the only night of the year in which ghosts warlocks witches and evil spirits were permitted to wander on earth on the 1st of november the druids held their great fall festival and lighted fires in lionour of the sungod in thanksgiving for harvest it was also a firm belief in the religion of the druids that on tho eve of this festival halloween as we know it saman lord of death called together the wicked souls that within the past twelve months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals with regard to this belief it is interesting to note that in parts of ireland the 31st of october was and even still is known as oidhche shamhna tho vigil of saman on or about the 1st of november also the iroman festival in honour of pomona was held pomona was the goddess of the fruit of trees hence the words pomologlst grower of fruit and pomolyogy at this pomona festival nuts and apples as representing the winter store of fruits played an important part and thus originated the custom of roasting nuts and apple ducking attempting to seize with tho teeth an apple floating in a tub of water a sport in which many later genera tions of young folk havo celebrated the eve of 31st of october some cynics aver that the evil spirits of old druldlcal times still exist in tho shape of thoughtless youths whose rough pranks on halloween often result in injury to persons and much to property their pranks aro tho survival of the licentious part ot the pomona fruit festival tho custom of lighting halloween fires survived generally until recent years in tho highlands of scotland and wales and still is in voguo in some of the remoter parts in the dying embers of the fire it was usual to place as many small stones as there were persons around and next morning a search was made if any of the stones were displac ed it was regarded as an omen that the person represented would die within 12 months never in the 12 years existence of the north york plowing association have their annual matches been on quite so splendid land for plowing at last weeks competition on the farm of mr walter f blanchard just east ot newmarket and due north of van- dorf there wasnt a stone to be seen and the loamy soil acted well to the turn of the plow especially in tractor field unfortunately the day was the coldest one this fall with squalls and biting wind whioh pre vented a larger crowd from enjoy ing the match alex black of guelph was award ed the cup for best plowed land in the match and it was a picture and plowmen of long years experience marvelled at jt james benton a queensville lad 12 years took the prize for youngest plowman the teams committee had ample horses fine ones too for all who wished to plow so that the match went off without a hitch walter wood genial president was here there and all over the farm w h botham of aurora won the special prize of 5 for best outfit plowing hope ladies aid served lunch in the spacious drive shed on the blanchard farm but tlie unexpected turn to colder weather made the place not too inviting and
