Functions of the Weekly Paper Outâ€" lined at Bangquet Given by Monâ€" treal Journal to the Weekly Publishers. There should, for instance, be very special interest in the reference to the weekly newspapers made by Lord Atholstan, publisher of The Montreal Daily Star, The Family Herald and Weekly Star, and other publications. Lord Atholstan was unable to be presâ€" ent, but sent the following message to the bangquet:â€" "‘To our Guests: I was delighted when your executive gave me an opâ€" portunity to invite you to dinner. I felt it was a real privilege, and now have to regret being unahble to join beâ€" cause my doctor will not suffer disâ€" obedience. * "‘The weekly paper is in many reâ€" spects the backbone of the press of the country. It is far closer to the people whom it serves than a great city jourâ€" nal can possibly be. Its constituency is more stable. The cities have ineviiâ€" ably a large proportion of floating population. Even those who stay long are not securely rooted, A little brighter prospect somewhere élse, and they are off. But tite town and counâ€" try population of Canada is its perâ€" manent and substantial {foundation. The press which is in most .intimate touch with its readers, is the press which most accurately voices the opinâ€" ions and the conscience of the Dominâ€" ion. "‘HMappily, the days of the hardâ€" pressed country weekly are past. The owners of weekly papers are now amcong our shrewdest business men and they make good money where their predecessors were supposedâ€"at least by the humoristsâ€"to take cordwood and pumpkins for subscriptions. I hear,of these more modern publishers spending their winters in Florida and buying up city dailies, and it is delightful to hear it. A good local paper well deserves all the support it can possibly get. No community ever makes a more profitâ€", ab‘> investment than when it mainâ€" tains and keeps alive and independent its own weekly journal. I offer my best wishes for the continued success of the country newspapers. In his opening remarks, Mr. Gordonâ€" smith of The Family Herald and Weekâ€" ly Star, who presided, said:â€"The counâ€" try weekly newspapers of Canada are an institution. The day is long past when there was antagonism between the country weekly and the metropoliâ€" tan weeklies. Each class meets a parâ€" ticular need, and it might be said that one is the complement of the other. The country weekly covers its field *as no.other paper can; it is affectionately called ‘our home town paper‘ by those who have gone out beyond its natural sphere of influence, and they never forâ€" get it. The editor of a country paper is always one of the great men of the neighborhood. His personality stamps itself on his community to an extent to which no editor of a metropolitan weekly can aspire. The county editor may become a town councillor, a memâ€" ber of parliament, a senator, and even a cabinet minister. The story of the development of the weekly press in Canada is ons of which none of us nesd be ashamed." There were several outstanding adâ€" dresses during the evening, the speakâ€" ers including Rev. Canon Chatford, the eloquent divine of Montreal. Other speakers were David Williams, presiâ€" dent of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec division, George Legge, Leaderâ€"Mail, Granby, Que., E. Roy Sayles, manager, Canaâ€" dian Weekly Newspapers Association. the Mercury, Renfrew, Ont., and Camâ€" eron McIntosh, MP. for North Battleâ€" ford. J. T. Leishman, of The Haileyburian, was elected a director of the Ontario and Quebec division of the Canadian Weskly Newspapers Association. The convention was largely attended and quite successful, due in large measure to the excellent preparation made by President David Williams of the Colâ€" lingwood Bulletin and Secretary Geo. W. James of the Bowmanville Statesâ€" man and to the highly efficient manâ€" ner in which Mr. Williams conducted the programme. An outstanding feaâ€" ture of the business sessions was 2 practical and helpful address by H. R. Cockfield, president of Cockfield, Brown Co.. one of the largest and most progressive advertising agencies in Canada. The Montreal Daily Star gave a very full report of the convention and banâ€" quet. The big Montreal daily also published a fiveâ€"column halfâ€"tone picture of the banquet tables. In this picture may be noted:â€"J. T. Leishâ€" man, of The Haileyburian, Haileybury; E. Stephenson, of The Northern Triâ€" bune, Kapuskasing; and Geo. Lake, of The Advance, Timmins. A New Liskeard firm of barbers are advertising "new prices in barbering." A gentleman‘s haircut is quoted at 25¢.; a shave, 15c.; plain massage, 25¢.; hair singe, razors honed, 25¢. These don‘t look like new prizes; they appear to be the prices of long, long ago. The Advance would scarcely become enâ€" thusiasticâ€"over such prices, because it does not seem possible to maintain them without decreasing the service, reducing the wages of barbers or otherâ€" wise interfering with the improved conditions in the past few years. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO THE IMPORTANGE OF EARLY SFEDING OF ROOT GROPS "With the object of obtaining some further information on this point an experiment has been conducted at the Experimental Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, for a number of years. In this test the seed was sown at interâ€" vals of seven days, commencing as earâ€" ly as possible and continuing until six dates were sown. Fall turnips, Swede turnips, mangels and carrots were inâ€" cluded. Over a period of years the average results in pounds per acre and in order of seeding are as follows:â€" Value of Root Crops to Farmers in This Part of the North. Experiments Made at Experimental Station at Kapuskasing. A.: Belzile, of the Dominion Experiâ€" mental Station, Kapuskasing, writes The Advance as follows:â€" "Although the soil and climate of Northern Ontario are very well suited to the production of fair yields of gooc quality root crops, so far these crops have not been extensively grown. However, some of the farmers are growing a certain amount and are findâ€" ing them exceedingly valuable for sucâ€" culence to the ration of the dairy herd, and also as a conditioner for sheep, pigs and poultry. Swede turnips are also being grown to quite an extent rfor domestic use. "Owing to the fact that .root crops are comparatively rapid growers and also have the ability to continue growâ€" ing until quite late in the autumn, it has generally been considered that late planting would not materially reduce the yield of these crops. Fall turnips: 42,500; 35,860; 29370; 29,940; 18.730; and 11,643. Swede turnips: 22,373; 19,020; 13,673; 9,173; 5,967; and 3,073. Mangels: 21,753; 18,053; 13,733; 10,â€" 587; 6,920; and 3,207. Carrots: 17,507; 16,833; 12,747; 8,353; 3,520; and 1,133. From the figures it may be observed that in every case the earlier seedings have given the greater yields. Sudbury Star:â€"It‘s a wise premier of France who can get his picture taken, developed and published before he is thrown out of office. The average date of the first seeding has been June 3 for fal turnips and May 29 for Swede turnips, mangels and carrots. Highâ€"River Times:â€"A news item the other day told of a young lady who wept for eighteen hours. It didn‘t say whether she got the coat or not. FORMER TIMMINS RESIDENT WRITES ABOUT NOVA SGOTMA Touches on Mineral and Other Wealth of Province by the Sea. Also Makes Reference to Three Sound Pictures That Take Hi; Fancy. The letter published below was reâ€" ceived by The Advance this week, and will no doubt be read with much interâ€" est by readers here. It may be noted that what is said in reference to the talkie "Rio Rita" will find general apâ€" proval from all here who saw this feaâ€" ture last "week. It was certainly one of the best shows to date at the Goldâ€" fields, and it is not finding fault with any of the others to say that. The reâ€" ferences in the letter to the oil and coal in Nova Scotia and to the other minâ€" ing possibilities and the attractions to tourists will prove informative as well as interesting. The letter follows:â€" New Glasgow, N.S., March 12 To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"As a recent resident of your city and as I have been in Nova Scotia, my native land, for six months now. I wish you would publish this letâ€" ter in your valuable paper. By the way, I receive the paper every week from my wife who still resides in Timâ€" mins. It is a great pleasure for me to read The Advance once a week as usuâ€" al, to see the progress of the North Country, especially the. development of New Ontario and the Porcupine disâ€" trict where so much mineral lies in the bowels of the earth. I want to give you a little sketch of this part of Nova Scotia. But first of all let me tell the readers of The Advance and specially the theaâ€" treâ€"goers ‘of the wonderful things that are in store for them in the line of "talkies." No doubt you wil have in your theatres the pictures "Rio Rita," and "On With the Show." These two talkies are the two best taikies seen in these parts since the first came out and anyone missing them will be missing something worth while. "Gold Diggers of Broadway," another colourâ€" ed talkie, is so full of thrills and life at the night clubs of the other counâ€" tries that it was demanded to be shown here four or five days. All three of these talkies had bumper houses. Now then! This part of Nova Scotia has mineral wealth in the line of coal, oil, gold and iron ore. At present in this town a new plant and new equipâ€" ment is under way for the production of crude oil. This was put to a test some months ago and proved to be worth some big money. Operations will likely start here in April or May for the oil. Coal here is being mined, and it is one of the best grades of coal in the market toâ€"day in Nova Scotia, or, I may say, in Canada. At Matheson‘s foundry where I work we do a lot of work for the Holâ€" linger Mine in the line of shaftâ€"head wheels and things like that. Not long ago we shipped Hollinger big shaftâ€" head wheel about 13 feet in diameter, and it weighed almost thirteen hundred pounds. We have also the Eastern Car plant, which builds refrigerator cars, box cars, snow ploughs, etc. Then there is the big steel plant for making rails and boiler tubes and box and flat car axles. J. W. Cummings Company‘s plant also produces mining tools many of which are sold in Timâ€" mins and district. There are also many other industries that are proâ€" ducing materials here for other needs. This province is a wealthy one in all kinds of production. The highways here are all in good shape. Summer and winter tourists from all parts come here. We grow our own apples and other fruits. I think that New Ontario and Porâ€" cupine and district will be more wealâ€" thy in a few years than at present. Timmins alone is looking up to be one of the best cities in Ontario, I believe outside Toronto. In closing I must say again it is Z pleasure to read The Advance once week, as usual. If you want the news from all Northern Ontarib you get it in The Advance. In future I hope your paper will be issued daily. I advise all the theatre fans not to miss the three talkies which I have mentioned as I think they are the best on the road toâ€"day. Thanking you for the space, and wishing Timmins success, I ramain, An Old Resident, HARRY DIMOCK. Mcntreal Starâ€"The easier a girl is to look at, the harder a man will look at her There have been so many complaints in Cochrane about the number of dogs in that town and the annoyance and danger through stray dogs running around that the town council has deâ€" cided to appoint a dog catcher and enâ€" force the town‘s byâ€"law against dogs running at large. meaning now to a kiss than there is in a handshake. The only difference is there is more danger from germs." Truth (London)â€"Of the aileged inâ€" terview with the Metropolitan Sergius, who denies that there is any reliâ€" gicus persecution in Russit, and that where priests have suffered is has been for their politics, there are three posâ€" gible explanations. Either the Archâ€" bishop is ambitious and wishes to play the part of Cranmer,>â€" unfortunately outâ€"Cranmering Cranmer, or he has answered the questionnaire with the Ogpu officials standing over him. Oor the Soviet press has invented the whole interview. Of â€" three. . probabilities choose the greatest, which is that the Metropolitan‘s answers are forged.
