W. A. ARMSTRONG & SON THE PLESHERTON ADVANCE W. H. THURSTON, Editor HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF Recently a glowingr report was re* ceived through several newspapers of a big stril(e of oil on the Bruce penin- sula near Spry, under the operation of the Mulberry Creek Oil Company, and a big refinery plant was to be located at Southampton. Since then the truth has come to light and the bright hopes of a booming town have been extinguished, as the drill struck a dry pocket, showing that oil was very conspicuous by its absence. W« had the same experiment at Fleeher- ton five years ago and to-day the company has pulled up stakes and moved their outfit to more lucrative fields. One derrick, on the farm of D. McTavish on the southern out- skirts of town, is still standing, testi- fying the absence of oil here, al- though in places indications of oil had been discovered. The only person receiving any income from the local experiment is the owner of the land on which the derrick is situated, and all that the shareholders have out of their investment is the rosy thought of what might have been if oil had been struck. WONDERFUUL GROWTHS The potato crop in this vicinity is quite abnormal this year. In addi- tion to growing potatoes under ground the vines are producing small potatoes along the entire length, ac- cording to some evidence we have seen. Our exchanges from several quarters chronicle the^.same phenom- enon. Seed balls are also formed abundantly this year, which is some- thing quite unusual of late years. No sign of rot has been discovered, and the crop is likely to be an enormous one in all Ontario, owing to the cool, damp summer. Strawberry plots are producing a second crop otl the common garden variety. The Advance man has a few vines and has picked numbers of ripe, luscious berries from them with- in the past two weeks.

A Letter From Duff Mr. Ernie Wurts of Duff, Sask., a former resident here, gives us some more information about Western cropa in the following short letter. Mr. Wurtz says : â€" "I have no doubt you will be sur- prised to receive this letter from me. We read The Advance with interest each week. It is the same as a letter from some of our home-town friends. I notice in two of the last issues letters from a Mr. LeGard of Glenside. I have no doubt these letters may be a true report of his district, but they are far from giving a correct idea of the average crop condition in the three Western prov- inces. Crops in some districts are poor, while in many they are average, and in some th|ey are real good. Wheat threshing is going on in many part J at present and is yielding from 25 to 40 bushels per acre of No. 1, weighing from 62 to 70 pounds per bushel; in fact there are some vgry favorable reports coming in daily from different parts. Farming in the West is not all smooth sailing. We have our t:'oubles, the same as all other places. For instance, non-equalization of prices of farm products compared with the necessaries we have to buy."

Findlay, undertaker and furniture dealer, was in Toronto and tried his examinations on embalming at the school there, the result of which was received Saturday showing that Mr. Findlay had passed with 85 per cent of the total number of marks. This was a real fine show- ing, as sixty-seven tried the examina- tions and only twenty-two passed. We congratulate Mr. Findlay on the high marks he has received and who is now able to take full charge of a funeral ceremony.
