THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1932 ' i » Hunters Go North The annual trek to the north coun- try in search of the elusive red deer commenced on Wednesday of this week with two parties leaving from Flesh- erton. The Dargavel party is com- posed of J. O. Dargavel, Wm. Phillips, Howard Watson, Jos. Watson, Dava Williams, Geo. Brackenbury and Otto Loss, Otto Keeler and Bob Evert of Palmerston, and will hunt from Ard- beg. The High Falls Hunt club have their club house about five miles from Boakview and the party this year will include P. Munshaw, Chas. Stewart, W. Lever, Royden McDonald, Cecil McTavish and Messrs, A. O. Elting and P. Johnston of Chicago. The deer season opens on Saturday, November 5th, and lasts until Satur- day, November 19th. This year dogj are not allowed to run deer, which, no doubt will make it more difficult for the hunters to bring home their number. tion of weeds. At the Kemptville Agricultural School In Ontario ridg ing is considered an important tillage practice, all land ploughed early and subsequently top worked being drilled up in early fall. Another advantage of ridging is that it aids in getting on the land a few days earlier in the spring, which is a decided gain on low or heavy land. Some clays tend to run together if left in a highly cultivated state all winter, but ridg- ing up corrects this. RIDGING IN THE FALL One of the best methods of killing â- weeds is to ridge the land in the fall. There are men who claim that there is no benefit in the way of killing rootstocks of sow thistle and couch gra£3 remaining in the soil after sum- mer culdvation. Others regard ridg- ing as supplemeatary to early after- harvesting cultivation in the eradica- Hallowe'en Qaiet Hallowe'en passed off very quietly in town Monday night, very little damage being done by the bands of boys. A contributing factor to the quietness of the evening was the fact that there was a stsady downpour of rain Monday afternoon and evening that put a damper on the enthusiasni of the youngsters. When we came to work Tuesday morning we noticed one wheelbarrow, worse for wear, ano the town water tank and three boards: deposited on the squ!»re, in place ot the usual quantity of vehicles and other -araphernaliai that boys seek out.

Miss Isobel McMuUen, president of the Girls' Athletic Society, acted as chairman during the evening's activ- ities, which opened with the sword dance by Miss Catherine Mc Vicar. Third Form presented a very hum- orous skit, "Clen)entine," in whicfi Mr. Dick Stewart played the leading feminine role. "Napoleon's Farewell to his Grandmother," a short selection full of pathos, was rendered by Miss Dora Stewart. Miss K. McVicar favored the audience with a presen- tation of "The Highland Fling" in native costume. Upper school skit, "The Highwayman" was followed by a dance, "The Sailor's Hornpipe," by Miss Georgena Blackburn. Miss Bess Cairns officiated at the piano for the three dances. A Ghost story, a skit presented by First Form, brought the program to a close with a fitting ghostly atmosphere. The special feature of the evening, the promenade, displayed the many and varied costumes to advantage and ended with the presentation of prizes for costumes, by the judges. Misses Dewar and MacDonald, and Mr. Eu- bank of the Hagh School staff. The prizes were taken by Miss Audrey McCabe as best in the lady and gent- leman class, and Mr. John McVicar, as best in the comic class. Throughout the whole jvening, Miss Betty MuTray officiated at the for- tune telling booth, and was kept busy tiy fortune seekers. A sumptuous supper was served, bringing the party to a close. All present reported an enjoyable evening. Hockey Talk Hockey is commencing to be the talk amongst the sport fans of the village at the present time. Rumors have been going the rounds that both junior and senior teams will amalga- mate with Markdale and have two E:ood teams in plaae of four second- raters. It is proposed to have the junior team headquarters at Flesher- ton and the senior team at Markdale. There is some real good hockey talent in both towns and with them working together should be able to bring the Northern League hockey trophies to this section again.

Duncan 'Phone: 54 FLESHERTON Australian Farmers Have Higher Prices The trade treaties between Canada and different parts of the Empire, particularly Great Britain, are still the only subject before the House. In the meantime the British pound ster- ling is dropping steadily which makes the treaties, as far as the Canadian farmer is concerned, null and void. Our policy of dear monsfr is ruining our farmers and all other exporters. While Ho. 1 hard wheat is bringin;,- to the farmer in Alberta 29 cents a bushel, the Australian farmers are getting' between 54 and 60 cents ^ bushel, plus a bonus of 9 cents, while at the same time the wholesale price of flour is quoted at 70 cents per 100 pounds in Australia and on the same day Canadian flour in Witinipeg was luoted at $4.15 per barrel, or about $2.08 per 100 pounds. That is, the .Australian ifarmer gets more for his wheat and pays less for his flour than the Canadian farmer. Aceodinc: to Mr. G. G. Coote Canadian wheat.

The trustees are to act independently of shareholders, government and Parlia- ment and to appoint, on terms ar- iangred by themselves, a chief operat- ing officer who will be called a pres- ident and who will be responsible only to the trustees. The trustees are to bo in complete charge of financing; they are to make an annual report, to Pw^iament, of operatnafos, receipts and expfenditures and Parliament ia to have an audit evwry year, made by auditors of its own selection. It is now thought that this section c: the session will have adjourned by the 10th of November. â€"AGNES C. MACPHAIL, House of Commons, Ottawa, October 29th, 1932. The farmer's position in Australia has been helped also by a reduction of the rate of interest. It is little wondei" that J. Maynard Kednes, noteil British economist, says that Australia has, in a financial and economic sense, rounded the corner. In the face of these facts, how can Canada compete with Australia in the British market? The jreneral restlessness has been in~ creased by a falling market for cattle, hogs, wheat, etc. It looks as though a policy of inflation must come; one wonders how much more needless suf- fering will be forced on the people before that day comes. Most members of the House of Commons received a letter of entreaty from the League for Sooial Recon- struction in Vancouver this week. In this letter it pointed out that as the Finance Act now exists provincial and municipal governments can only ob- tain advances on their bona fide se- curities from chartered banks, at an interest rate of not less than 5 per cent, per annum, w^hereas the banks themselves may obtain these advances from the government of the people of Canada at 3 per cent, per annum. It suggests that it is ridiculous thai the municipalities and provinces can- not borrow direct from the Federa) government at 3 per cen., and goes on to say : "To remedy this evil we earn- estly recommend the amending of the Finance Act so that upon the deposit of approved securities the prov!nce:< or its communities may obtain ad- vances direct from the government, instead of being compelled to use the medium of the chartered banks." Paving Being Rushed The MfCregor Paving Co. has made good progress recently in paving Highway No. 10 between Melancthon and Corbetton. If favorable weathei continues, it is expected that paving will be completed as far north a.s Cor- betton by the middle of next week. The company is rushing the work in order to complete it this fall. Shouldering work on the stretch routh of Dundalk to Corbetton is again â- |7roceeding, the Thompson Haulage Co. handling this end of the job. A steam shovel is at work on the old Shannon farm now owned by Arthur .?ioughton, from whence material is being taken for shouldering purposes. With the especially wide shoulders (they extend ten feet from the side of the pavement) the road looks par- ticularly appealing to motorists and a lessening in roadside accidents is bound to result. In fact, with such ,vide shoulders a footpath for pedes- trins could be made alongside the road with very little extra expense, at the same time contributing much to the safety of children and adults who must walk on the highway. â€" Herald.

Cassin, Ontario Department of Agriculture, late blight of potatoes has become very serious where cai-eful spraying has not j been practiced. Ho estimated the 1932 crop as twenty-five per cent, 'lower than test year, with rot serving to increase this figure. Farmers are realizing higher prices than in 1931. and further increases are anticipated Jf rot becomes more extensive. • SHOOTING MATCH A shooting match will be held on Friday, November 11th, on l»t 30, con. 2, S.D.R., Artemesia, for geese.
