THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 + THE » DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE "Northern Messenger" Ends Its Long Career > Montreal, July 6 (CP). -- John Dougall and Son of Montreal today put out their last edition of the Northern Messenger to end more than 11¢ years of publishing. Frederick E. Dougall, 83, last surviving member of the family, wrote a farewell editorial in which he said he could find no one finan- cially capable as well as willing to carry on and had no other alterna- tive but to discontinue "the last of 'our papers while yet its sole sur- viving member is able to meet all its obligations." "We could have sold the paper for thousands of dollars to exploit- ers, but we would not do that," he added. The Messenger, sent to hotnes and Sunday schools for 87 years, once had a circulation of 63,000 but dropped to 23,000 in recent years. The Montreal Daily Witness, ah- other family publication, was dis= continued in 1938 after it steadily lost money. Referring to the Witness, Mr. Dougall said: "It was the most morally courageous newspaper Can- ada ever had. In the hardest of all fields, it championed the cause of righteousness and fought against the popular evils of the day, econ- omic, social and political--its in- dependent fight for right would fill a large volume. "It is with sadness that I must now close the vault, with its com- bination lock, on the three- generation-long adventures of the Dougalls--finished!" The Messenger, a 16-page weekly publication, dealt mainly with fe- ligious matters. | It was founded more than a century ago by John Dougall, shu operated it until his death when his son, John Redpath Dougail. Jr., took oveer.- He died in 1934 with the present publisher under- taking the management. Mr. Dougall's only son was killed while serving with the R.C.AF. during | the Second World War. !

Power seed cutters, requiring a crew of two men, are now available that will automatically cut sed grower. Planters may be either the as- sisted feed or picker type of ma- chine. The picker type is fully au- tomatic and plants sets with little error. The assisted feed machine requires one man per row to atterd the seeding mechanism but a very high degree of accuracy is possible. Boih types of planters may be equipped wtih fertilizer attachments that distribute the fertilizer in hands on each side of the row. Standard row crop cultivators may be used for weed control be- tween the rows. To control the weeds within the row and to mould the earth around the plants, disc or mouldboard hillers are used. Sprayers or dusters are necessary} to control disease and insects in the crop. Power driven or tractor mounted units are more easily ad- justed to apply a uniform amount of dust, Sprayers capable of apply- ing 60 to 150 gallons per acre are necessary. To reduce crop injury these machines should have an ad= justable width of wheel tread. With heavy crops, it may be ne= cessary to 'attach vine lifters (o the tractors and wheeled equipment to reduce injury to the potato vines during the growing season.
