disastrous spring flood of the past weekend for anyone to make the bold statement that a big pike had been caught in front of exmayor lob- singers canadian tire corporation store he would under ordinary circumstances be promptly dis counted and it would result in the narrator being adjudged a likely candidate for the championship of the famous liar club however this really took place it appears that clarence raster who resides west of the town was wading through the water in front of the store when he spotted a big fish in the water making a lunge to capture the finny prize the slippery fish evaded its wouldbe captor but in its rush to get away plunged full speed into the brick wall with the result that it was slightly stunned faster lost no time in taking advantage of the situation and nabbed the inert fish the prize was found to be a thirtyeight inch pike which tipped the scales at fifteen pounds which even under ordinary circumstances would be worthy of mention on

using western feed grain as seed is a step in the wrong direction and must be dis couraged says john m macleod director of the crops seeds and weeds branch ontario department of agriculture while feed grain may have a good appearance he points out there are several other factors which must be considered from a seed standpoint in the first place there is no assurance as to the variety of grain whether it is early or late maturing resistant to rust or adapted to local conditions in the second place western feed oats are usually a mixture of early and late varieties and the crop grown from such grain would mature unevenly furthermore the varieties may not be suitable to local conditions and the grain may have been frozen prior to harvest resulting in low germination and poor yields there is also the possibility says mr macleod of introducing new weeds into the farm there is a plentiful supply of high quality adaptable varieties of seed oats and barley in the province information regarding available seed may be obtained from local seed dealers agricultural repre sentatives or the crops seeds and weeds branch parliament build ings toronto considerable time effort and expense are involved in the preparation of the seed bed so it is not good business for farmers to gamble on using feed grain as seed their motto should be know what you sow were inslrancemlvdkd over 45
