plow on way out if we are to believe the words of prof g n ruhnke of the ontario agricultural college guelph the plow as a farm implement is on its way out there is no doubt about its disappearance or near disappearance says prof ruhnke this is startling news to us and will be to the faimer for the professor was commenting on one of the most re volutionary ideas of modern times in agricultural history at least since he is one of canadas foremost soil experts his words bear weight he says farmers as a class will be slow about changing to till the soil by substitute methods that have been experimented on at the colleges in canada and the states the disc harrows will do the trick says our in formant prof ruhnke referred to the experiments of an ohio farmer who believing that plowing was responsible for erosion and most other ills of the soil tested his theory by using a cultivation method of his own instead of plowing he discharrowed the soil and planted crops in the chopped up surface stubble this ohio farmer claimed that crop roots should be fed and protected by decaying plants on the surface of the soil a wellknown agricultural fact plowing buries this organic material beyond the reach of most roots and the buried vegetation forms a blotter that soaks up moisture from above and below drawing it away from the surface where it is needed discharrowing is fine for the distribut ion of this organic matter into the soil surface where it is immediately available to the roots of crops new way cost more the town of orillia will vote shortly or at the decem ber elections to determine whether or not they will cut down the size of their council from seven to five the orillia paper points out that the day is past and gone when the councillors are expected to help lay the sewers mend the sidewalks and do odd jobs that is all done today by paid help it is the duty of the council to lay down policy and guide the destinies of the municipality if what the orillia paper says is correct stouffviue council works somewhat on the old plan of supervising whatever work is to be done in an effort to keep down ex pense the corporation never engaged a man who would be boss of all work receiving his direction from the council on what is wanted but using his own discretion on how to do it the longer a municipality can keep away from the new plan the better but asking councillors to superintend and help with public works is not fair to the councillors columbus did not know about newspapers it is only a matter of hours now after our airmen or soldiers do something big that the whole world is advised of it the present generation accepts this service as a mere fact but if we had lived in the time that columbus dis covered america one couldnt read all about it there were no newspapers in 1492 newspapers did not appear until 150 years later in fact when columbus came over printing was only in its early infancy and was being used to pro duce scholarly works

1877 how far has printing advanced with its development of a great and speedy news service is worth pondering over fencecorner churchill the farmer was getting old but he had to work hard be cause in this war year there was no one else to do the work ive been thinking about churchill he said leaning against a fence post and sharpening his hoe its been puzzling me how he can keep up such a pace and still look spry now ive maybe found the answer churchill is used to these strains and excitements hes been in the midst of them all his life in a lot of ways he is like me you see i can still hoe more in a day than any of these city men that have come out to help us they are willing enough but they arent used to the work they dont get the most out of the hoe with the least effort they dont save them selves with little tricks that a man learns when hes hoeing year afer year but churchill and i were used to it thats how we manage to keep going full tilt and even have time to smile a good start it might not be long ere we see fit to criticise the new ly formed drew government and in fairness let us com mend them when something worthy of commendation is done first of all the new government appears to have lost no time in organizing for action in ontario and the first act was a good one after taking office millions of dollars in timber lease holdings were can celled with one stroke of the pen holdings given wealthy timber concerns who were required to commence operations within a given period on the forests they negected to t start and thus broke the contract it was apparent that the leases were obtained only for the purpose of holding properties for higher money with out doing any work on them the provincialgovernment was quite within their rights in cancelling the leases under these circumstances as apparently there was no idea of de veloping the properties insurance or tax the printed word from a small ontario town comes the story of one phase of unemployment insurance an elderly man retired some pears ago has been induced to help out the labor shortage by taking a job in a local shop inspectors of the unemployment insurance commission have insisted that he take out an insurance book and make his con tributions weekly his intention is to return to retirement as soon as he can be spared so that he will not be eligible for insur ance benefit even if he makes a sufficient number of con tributions to qualify for it the incident illustrates one fallacy of the unemploy ment insurance plan with fire or life insurance every in dividual is free to choose whether he wishes to be insured or not and to fit his insurance program to his own needs insurance agents are loath to admit that anyone is ever carrying enough insurance but they would be equally loathe to work for a company which had one form of policy only even though every citizen had to buy one in the case cited the weekly premium paid by the elderly employee is nothing but a tax on his right to work the compulsory payments made by many other employees fall in the same class married women who have taken war jobs stenographers who plan to get married as soon as they manage it will probably never receive any benefit from their premiums the beneficiaries will be the men who are earning good wages at war work and are or should be put ting something aside to tide them over possible unemploy ment when their jobs come to an end the tax may be necessary since the appetite of the department of national revenue is insatiable but calling it insurance does not make it more attractive to those who have to pay it it would make excess reading for me to enlaige at length on the things weekly re-loi- have rheidv heir- or read of president roosevelts visi to ottawa a few personal impres

warrior he smply radiates great ness leadership inspires confidence you can see his facj for hours after wards here is a man in whom one frvls one can trust ow destiny ajd that of our children you should have seen his face when maing that statement about being everlasting angry at those who think the four freedoms of the at lantic darter are unattainable and his broad shoulders seemed to reach up into his tanned healthy face and jutting jaw line when he said we are going to get rid of these outlaws this time you felt ready to kick off the na tional sidewalk any selfish political individuals
