ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE s Afterâ€" harvest cultivation Now is the time when weeds can be killed most cheaply and effectively It is easiest to kill perennials like twitch grass and sow thistle now because their vigor has been somewhat exhausted by growing a crop. The hot sun and drying winds will work Thousands of weed seeds may be caused to sprout by light cultivation. These young plants will afterwards be killed. For this purpose a disc is effectiveâ€"a gang plow or cultivator may be used. Economize in manual labor. Use four horses and large implements if possible. Cheapen your cost of killing weeds!

These articles, by their friendly and thoughtâ€" ful tone, show that the tour was well worth while. It has given the editors a new conception of the North, and now it is giving the North some valuâ€" able publicity. Impressions of New Ontario Hospitality. Scenic Beauties of North. Kitchener Editor Sees Potential Mineral and Agricultural Wealth of the North Land. Pleased with Visit to Timmins and Iroquois Falls. One of the best articles resulting from the trip and coming to the attenâ€" tion of The Advance is published in a recent issue of The Kitchener Daily Record. It is from the very able pen of Mr. A. H. Lowe, news editor of The Kitchener Daily Record, who is also of particular interest to people here, beâ€" cause of the fact that he is a brother of that cldâ€"timer of the North, Mr. G. $. Lowe. The article in The Kitchener Daily Record is, in part, as follows:â€" "Ontarions have often scoffed at Gothamites that they did not know New York let alone the rest of the States or other countries but how many Ontario people have any real concepâ€" tion of the size, the beauty and the possibilities of that great stretch of land north of North Bay, Sudbury and Sault Ste.

"During the latter part of August a party of editors and their wives numâ€" bering 48, representing Montreal and Ontario city dailies, had the pleasure of a 1,500 mile trip from Toronto through the mining belt of Northern Ontario, across the Transcontinental to Hearst and down the Algoma Central Railway to Sault Ste. Marie from which point the return trip was made by boat to Port McNicholl and train to the Queen City. "The newspapermen learned mucnhn and at every point were treated with the utmost cordiality and consideraâ€" tion which gave them an excellent opportuntty to learn facts about a country that in the next few decades will witness an expension stil unrealizâ€" ed in south Ontario. Up in the secâ€" tions served by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario and the Algoma Central Railway are practically boundâ€" less areas whose resources have been but scratched. Fifteen years ago Norâ€" thern Ontario was a series of mining communities with shacktowns prominâ€" ent and the country along the Transâ€" continental sparsely populated. Today Northern Ontario boasts as well orderâ€" ed communities as those of Southern Ontario and along the Transcontinentâ€" CHLIHB al communities are springing up with the banner settlement of Kapuskasing which a few years ago was an internâ€" ment camp. Today it is an upâ€"toâ€"date town of 5,000 people with an optimism that is refreshing for a place so far from ‘the main highways. Back of Sault Ste. Marie is another vast counâ€" try, a land with beauty unequalled anyâ€" where. The grandeur of the Agawa Canyon and the Montreal River is boâ€" yond adequate description. In this secâ€" tion the mineral wealth is not known except that there are millions of tons of iron ore. Upon this fact is based the prediction that Sault Ste. Marie will become one of the greatest cenâ€" tres in Canada, as soon as electric treatment makes it commercially posâ€" sible for the great Algoma Steel Corâ€" poration to use this ore instead of ore brought from the United States. | | "Perhaps it will amaze the resident of Southern Ontario to learn that 80 per cent. of Ontario lies north of North Bay. If 20 "*per cent. of Ontario can provide its present output, what about the future in the other 80 per cent.? In this connection Premier Ferguson at Sault Ste. Marie made an interesting statement. Government engineers are drilling in the James Bay section for coal and oil and he said that the reâ€" sult had been so pleasing that the govâ€" ernment had withdrawn large areas from staking. On Thursday of this week the Premier announced in addition the definite location at Blacksmith Rapids on the Abitibi River, of a coal field one miles long and a halfâ€"mile wide, and capable of producing 10,000,000 tons of goodâ€"grade lignite. "In the opinion of the department, enough has been disclosed to warrant the discovery being described as the most important development in the mining field of the province in many years. "The reader may be surprised that 80 per cent. of Ontario lies north of | North Bay, but the claim of the north that 90 cents of every dollar made in that country is spent in southern Onâ€" tario may be more of a surprise. In other words Northern Ontario and Alâ€" goma residents point out that the prosperity of the north is the prosperâ€" ity of the south and that the latter should lend sympathetic ears to the problems of the north. In fact one speaker, was told in Toronto that the reason for the great expansion in the Queen City, particularly in regard to building, was that most of the money had come from northern Ontario. "Briefly the north asks the assistâ€" ance of southern Ontario on four points, (1) Money for development, (2) assistance for the steel industry, from the Ontario and Dominion govâ€" ernments, (3) more roads, and (4) additional help for the settlers pushâ€" ing back the barriers of civilization. In Algoma there is a fear that Canaâ€" dians will not be alive to the posâ€" sibilities there until too late, as Amerâ€" icans are beginning to take an active interest in the country. The steel inâ€" dustry will be greatly assisted by the bounty of one cent per unit announced by Premier Ferguson and it is expectâ€" ed that further aid will be forthcomâ€" ing from the Dominion government in regard to an improved tariff. Two members of the tariff commission are now in the Soo looking over the situation. "Apart froam the vastness of the country and the possibilities the points which particularly impressed the ediâ€" tors were the size and beauty of the lakes and rivers with the possibilities for fishing, the natural beauty of Iroâ€" quois Falls nestling away in the northâ€" ern section, the wonderful color of the fowers in the northern section, the hues being far more pronounced than in southern Ontario, the size and neatâ€" ness of Timmins, Ontario‘s most northâ€" ern city, the farmlands in the vicinity of New Liskeard, Cochrane and along the Transcontinental and the magâ€" nificence and granduer of the Agawa Canyon and the Montreal River and Falls in the Algoma district. How such a splendid country has been hidâ€" den from the glare of publicity so long is a mystery that the newspapermen could not fathom." of which is adaptable for farming. The finest farms seen on the trip were at New Liskeard. These were a treat being as good as most farms "The Ontario claybelt and the disâ€" tricts of Nipissing and Algoma conâ€" tain 75,680,000 acres of land, most of which is adaptable for farming. The finest farms seen on the trip in the south. At Cochrane the party on August 20th had the unusual pleasâ€" ure of eating luscious strawberries equa! to those of the south. This was on a government experimental farm. It will be news to many that the blueâ€" berry is the "national fruit" of northâ€" em Ontario, being extremely plentiful, particularly around the Timmins secâ€" tion and along the Algoma Central railway. "While at Cochrane the visitors were driven about 25 miles north toâ€" ward James Bay, over a territory ravaged by forest fires. The country is rough but the cleared sections apâ€" peared to be good farming land. Speaking of forest fires residents of Cochrane can tell some harrowing tales. There was the bushman who, to escape the flames, crawled down a well and immersed hi:aself up to his nose. His body was found in the bottom of the welil with the top of the head burned off. At another time 15 people went into the lake And wrapped wet blankets around their heads to keep from smothering. Unâ€" fortunately the smoke was so dense that it choked them to desth. "People in the north country enjoy their jokes. One of the best heard on the trip was sprung at Cochr_gnc where the T. N.O. ends. Naturally at this point there are more apt to be late trains than anywhere else. The natives have nicknamed the railway, "Time No Object," the conditions are not so bad as that. There is a slow train southâ€" ward and it is called the "Blue Flea," while the train running north 735 miles on the new branch toward James Bay is called the "Polar Bear." "Optimism and hospitality are two outstanding traits in the northerner, be he Frenchman, Canadian, Finn or Indian. The doors are open and any guest in welcomeâ€"except the bears which have a nasty habit in Algoma of ransacking lumbermen‘s huts for food. Bear stories are rather overâ€" done, but there are enough Bruins to make life interesting and the tourist saw a beautiful specimen on a hill. The animal calmly surveyed the scribes but evidently didn‘t like the appearâ€" ance of the tenderfeet and ambled off into the woods. "In order to let people see the north for themselves, the suggestion was offered that a road be built from Timmins to Sudbury, so that a tourâ€" ing party woud not have to return home by the Ferguson highway, the only road at present to the south. The Ferguson highway, tho it is not a perfect road, presents one of the prettiest drives in Ontario with its} winding road and billowing surface. A traveller can go 35 miles an hour comfortably and see some very pretty country indeed, especially in the Temâ€" agami and New Liskeard sections. In addition one can secure an insight inâ€" to the forestry patrol work carried on by the government. This is done alâ€" most entirely by planes, an admirable method of locating trouble promptly in such a vast country." Constant daily testing and blending of the world‘s choicest teas give Red Rose Tea its inimitable flavor and neverâ€"varying goodness. Every package guaranteed. "64 Mr. Lowe gives a detailed account of a trip into the bush at Franz, then continuing:â€" "‘These people of the woods love the silence of the north but they also like to have visitors and as a result their nospitality is beyond reproach, When the party passed by the Hormavirth camp the next day on the way to Sault Ste. Marie worked out on a board in flowers was the sign "Come Again." While this trip was made the women were taken to Michipicoten Falls, anâ€" other beauty spot of Algoma. ‘TE A is good tea RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE is extra good "The first stop was made at Timâ€" mins where the town and clubs banâ€" quetted the vistors. The speakers pleaded for a better understanding beâ€" tween the north and south, pointing out that what benefits the north also benefits the south in increased busiâ€" ness. More roads to the north country, a road to Sudbury and help for the settlers were the main points emphaâ€" sized. "It may surprise many to know that in this town 500 miles north of Toronto 15,000 people reside and they have all the city conveniences including paved streets. Timmins has 1,425 resiâ€" dences, 400 places of business, five churches, four hotels, seven schools and two hospitals. Here is situated the Hollinger mine and the party saw the immense mills in action, the officials courteously explaining the various in â€" tricate processes before the gold is takâ€" en from the dross and made into gold bars. "Another pleasant shock awaited the party at Iroquois Falls, located across the T. N.O. seven miles from Porâ€" quis Junction. Iroquois Falls is the model city of the north and even in Timmins they refer with pride to their neighbor, and not without reason. There is a pretty civic square about which the residences of the town cluster. The park, the stores and the dwellings are almost buried in green and flowers, the spot being by far the prettiest in the mining section. . Proâ€" bably no southern town of a similar population, 1,500, can approach the beauty of Iroquois Falls which clearly shows the benefits of careful planning. Almost next door is Ansonville, a clean, pleasant community, where the working people reside. ‘This has a population of 2,800. "At the Falls the party was enterâ€" tained to dinner after having visitâ€" ed the Abitibi paper plant, one of the largest in the world. The payroll is $3.000,000 annually and the mill has a capacity of 550 tons daily or 22 car loads. This means that 700 cords of wood are uced daily, 17 tons of sulâ€" phur, 24 tons of limestone, and 29,000,â€" 000 gallons of water, more than Kitchâ€" ener uses in a week! "The logs are rafted to the plant. Here the slasher cuts them into suitâ€" able lengths and they are ficoated in a large trough to the barkers. After the bark has been removed they are chipâ€" ped or ground into sulphite pulp or groundwood. Acid is added to the sulphite pulp in the digesters where it is cooked by steam. The sulphite pulp is then combined with about 75 per cent. of the finely screened groundâ€" wood and conveyed to the machines to be made into paper. About 150,000 gallons of water are used for every on of pulp manufactured. "At the Soo the members were quartered in private homes and in hoteis. No detail of hospitality was overilooked to make the visitors comâ€" fortable. The trip culminated with a banguet at the Sault Golf Club with Premier Ferguson as the main guest. At this function the newspapermen took occasion to express their great appreciation of the hospitality extendâ€" ed to them and the work done by J. wW. Curran, proprietor of the Sault Star, who organized and piloted the party. As a memento he was presentâ€" ed with a wrist watch by his colleaâ€" gues." OLDâ€"TIME PROSPECTOR OF NORTH BURIED LAST WEEhR The Haileyburian last week says:â€" ‘"The funcral of Barry Webster, an old timer of the North, who died last week in the Mines Fiospital at Cobalt, was held on Sunday afternoon when, after a funeral service in the Cobalt Angliâ€" can Church, the remains were interred in the Haileybury Cemetery. For the past few years Mr. Webster had been living at Latchford. He was at on time well known in prospecting and mining circles of the district."
