Chard Died Last Week Francis James Chard, well known resident of Fevcrsham for some years, and a native of Artemesia Township, died in the Markdale hos- pital Friday of last week in his 73rd year- The late Mr. Chard had been a cripple since childhood, but was able to be out and around until a month or so ago, when he was taken to the hospital. Deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chard. He learned the trade of harness-maker and worked at his trade in Peversham. Later he went West and there was married, his wife passing awiay a nuimiber of years ago. He was of a quiet dis- position and his friends are sorry to hear of his passing. The late Mr. Chard is survived by one sister, Mrs. Chas. Hopper of To- ronto and three half brothers, Will- iam John, Leslie and Arthur, all of Fle.'herton. He was a member of St. Mary's Anglican Church, Maxwell. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, with service at the hoane of Mr. Leslie Chard, conducted by Rev. A. G. Maopherson, pastor of St. John's United Church. Interment was made in Flesherton Cemetery Chapel. The pallbearers were: Messrs. R. J. Fisher, Wallace Fisher, Jas. Rus- sell, Frank Taylor, Chas. Stafford, :,nd Cecil Betts. People used to make their own shirts on spinning wheels. Now â€" in London it seems â€" they lose them the same way.

Farmers call this mach- ine the Magic Sprayer. These sensationalr esults were ob- tained in field scale experiments conducted by the Field Hus-bandry Division, Domikiion Experimental Farm, Indian Head, SaSk., and on the Experimental Sub-station at Regina. Observations made by the Field Husbandry Division in the year 1945 led to the belief that 2, 4-D could be effectively applied in much less water than the recommended rates. Further investigations at the Cent- ral E.xipei-imental Fann, Ottawa, in the Spring of 1046 appeared to con- firm this theory. The results ob- tained at Indian Head and Regina are a further verification of this be- lief, for in these expei'iments prac- tically 100 per cent of the mustard was wiped out of wheat by 4.4 gals, per acre of a 2, 4-iD solution that contained 500 cubic centimeters, this is less than a pint of one of the brands of 2 4-D. This brand is sold in Canada for $8.00 per gallon, so that the cost of the chemical was a little less than one dollar per acre. The mustard was killed before it was large enough to retard the growth of thff grain, consequently the average increase in the yield of wheat was 2.6 bushels per acre. No other method of killing must- ard has made so great an appeal to Prairie fanmers. Speed of applica- tion, little water and low cost per acre are the outstanding advantages in favor of this novel method of killing musitai'd.

Mr. Weppler is the only Canadian breeder to win the coveted Fanners' Trophy, don- ated by the Canada Packers, for two ' successive years. HANDS AT WORK 0\TAttfO*S future prosperity depends directly on a sufficient volume of prodnciiiiii to satihfy domestic needs and assure for Canada a pre-eminent place in llic niurkets of the world. Take the elcclrical industry^for example . . . never before has the demand, hotli here and ahniad, for the products of Ontario's great electrical plants been so great. Production must be in- creased . . . but to meet new production goals, skilled hands arc needed. For iheni great op|M)rtunitie8 lie ahead. Higher wages, job Becurity, better workin"' <'oudition8 are within easier reach of those who have mastered a skilled occupation. Today, through the plan sponsored by the Department of Veterans' Affairs and other agencies, thousands of yotmg workers are being trained to meet the electrical and other industrial needs of this Province. Graduates of these rehabilitation courses are now ready to take their places in Ontario's industry. Available to you are veterans, well started on the road to skilled electrical trades such as electrical construction and mainteoanee, radio and electrical servicing and motor winding. Seek them out with ooofideoce. They are your future craftsmen.
