Acting Manager. a lapse of 50 years, shows that the township is not suted for purposes of agrieulture. We quote the concluding words of Mr, Langford‘s letter. below in short lines : ‘‘Some of our 2200 readers may think this a dark future but I assure them that I have the welfare of this township in mind as I have been a reâ€" sident since the first log cabin was built in the year 1870. J have seen the growth, stagnation and decline of farming here and have no hesitation in saying that the hardships and privaâ€" tions endured and the labour expendâ€" ed in clearing land not fit for agriâ€" culture is nothing less than tragedy and that it was a colossal blunder when the townships of MceLean and Ridout were opened for settlement under the Free Grant and Homestead Act of 1868."" Among the>~ newspapers taking thoughtful and helpful part in the discussion of the act proposed by Hon. Mr. Finlayson for better settlement and for reforestation, none have been more informative or shown ‘a more patriotic attitude then The New Laisâ€" keard Speaker. The Speaker is in particularly good position to speak on the question having a thorough knowâ€" ledge from long residence in both places concernedâ€"the Muskoka area and the North Land‘s Clay Belt. Last week The New Liskeard Speaker had another editorial article on the quesâ€" tion and this article should prove of great advantage in giving the general public the right perspective on Hon. Mr. Finlayson‘s carefully considerâ€" ed plan. The Speaker says :â€" ‘‘Mr. Mark Langford, of MceLean, Muskoka, has a letter in the Braceâ€" brdge Gazette on the Hon. Wim. Finâ€" layson‘s bill for removing unsuccessâ€" ful farmers in the Free Grant Disâ€" tricts to better farming land and the planting of trees on the vacated and other lands in these districts. ‘‘No man in Muskoka is better fitâ€" ted to give information to Mr. Finlayâ€" son, nor is there any man whose word stands for more in Muskoka than our old friend, Mark Langford. ecourse, Mr. Langford favours the Finlayson bill, and supports his views by quoting figures to show the decline of farming in his township. Leaving out reference to the decline in assessment the fact that whereas prior to 1875 there were 48 persons living on their farms in MeLean, there were only 33 settlers living on their farms in that township in 1926, after Reference to Decrease in Population of One Township Settled Fifty Years, â€" False Sentiment Should be Dropped in the Matter. "It may be seen that Mr. Langford refers to the sentimentalism of some of the oldâ€"time settlers as Mr. Hamâ€" mell, exâ€"M.P., did in his letter. It seems to us that the sooner all perâ€" sons concerned in the important matâ€" ter the minister has in hand should forget sentimentality the better for them. The Government of toâ€"day at least are not responsible for the ‘‘"colossal blunder‘‘ of 1868. Mr. Finlayson is busy on a plan to make the best of that bunder, and surely he has the right to expect that the setâ€" tlers who made the blunder of staying on this infefior land all these years will help him all they can. In our first reference to this subject two weeks ago, we stated that the Governâ€" ment would not remove any farmer in the Free Grant districs against his wish. Since then we notice by the Timmins Advance that Mr. Finlayson has made a statement to this effect. So, sentimentalists now living in the Free Grant districts may rest assured that they will not be disturbed. Inâ€" deed one cannot but sympathize with them. Years and years of toil has been wasted, and now many of them are unable to commence again on new uncleared land, no matter how good the soil, and free from rock and stones. FUTHRER PROOF OF THE VALUE OF FINLAYSON AGT ‘"We again repeat what we said two weeks ago, viz.: that farmers who are doing well in the Free Grant distrcts should stay there. The man who setâ€" tles on a green bush farm in Temusâ€" kaming cannot make a living on is location for several years and it is best that this fact be known. Also, let the fact be known that when a man in the Clay Belt has his farm THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO HERE Is A SWEET]| THE CANADA STARCH CO., LIMITED â€" MONTREAL NOURISHING DELICIOUS tPaL is @1 CE cleared he has a good farm, that is, unless he makes a mistake in his locaâ€" tion which is something he need not do, nor have any exeuse for doing.‘*. The Haileyburian last week says :â€"â€" "Several citizens had a good view of a red fox on the ice of the lake here on Friday last. The animal had apparently come from â€" somewhere down the lake and when observed was going in the direction of Dawson‘s Point. He came in fairly close to shore near the Haileybury wharf and conld be plainly seen from Ferguson avenue. It is a rare occurrence for these animals to leave the woods and there is always something interesting in observing their movements."‘ RED FOX WATCHED ON LAKE TEMISKAMING RECENTLY. CANADIANS SHOULD ATTEND WORLD POULTRY CONGRESS Reference was made last week to. the fact that Mr. D. R. MeDonald will exhibit some of his prize=winning. poultry at the World‘s Poultry Conâ€" gress at Ottawa this summer. It is to ibe hoped that other poultry fanâ€" ciers in Timmins and district will #olâ€" low the same example. There arve several poultry fanciers here who have birds that they need not be aâ€" shamed to exhibit against any others in their class. _ Furthermore, there seems to be special need for exhibits by Canadians, if the Dominion is to get the most possible out of Congress. The Congress will include leading poultry exhibits from all over the world, but that need not frighten Caâ€" nadians, as is plain from what one celebrated poultry expert told a parâ€" liamentary committee last week. The poultry world is following the develâ€" opment of the industry in Canada and at the coming world‘s poultry conâ€" gress Canadian exhibits will agaim dominate, according to F. C. Eliford, poultry division, Dominion â€" Experiâ€" mental Farms, who addressed the agricultural committee of the House of Commons. Canada holds all re, cords for eggâ€"laying and while phenoâ€" menal production may not be desivrâ€" able in the whole, its value as an adâ€" vertisement for the Dominion has been great, Mr. Elford said. Mr. Elford said that at least 30 countries and probably 40 would be at the congress. The United States would send 3,000 accredited delegates and he stressed the need for a large attendance of ©Canadian delegates if the representatives of overseas counâ€" tries were to go back home praising Canadian poultry and not United States poultry.

Following the accident he was taken to North Bay and the piece of rock was successfully extracted. Later however, a cataract formed. Last week through the efforts of â€"the Canaâ€" dian Legion, he was again sent to North Bay for treatment and an operâ€" ation for the removal of the cataract was performed with such suceess that in a letter he states that he has recoâ€" vered about 40 per cent. of his sight.
