In an attempt to anSWer this im- portant question a interesting test has been laid down by the Department of Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural College, in co-operation with Mr. R. E. hite, Agricultural Representative or York County. This test is locat- _ d on the farm of Mr. Earl Toole, of jNewmarket. Satisfactory yields of alfalfa are fairly common in many parts of On- tario, yet many farmers are anxious to find means of strengthening the crop and increasing the production of this highly valuable legume. It is a well known fact that alfalfa makes use of large quantities of potash, but just what quantities of suitable fertilizers will be best to apply to it is a question many practical farmers of York Coun- ty would like to have answered.

COOPER VICTORIA SQUARE Richmond Hill Richmond Hill 10=o==lo=g Hardwar'e Plgoprietor Jntario The traffic over the holiday was heavy on Yonge Street. One serious accident and several minor smashes marred the weekâ€"end but on the whole traffic was well controlled. Busses proved to be totally inade- quate in handling the traffic over the holiday. They caused congestion on the highway and gave poor service for those who wished transportation to and from the city. The absence of the old reliable street cars kept the attendance at the Richmond Hill Fair below what it should have been had there been an adeduate transportation service on Yonge Street. North Yonge Street ratepayers who turned out and voted for a car service on May 3rd hoped that the cars would have been in operation by May 24th. “Conductor, help me off the train.” “sure.” “You see, I’m stout, and I have to get off the train backward; the porter thinks I’m getting on, and gives me a shove on again. I’m five stations past my destination now.” ert?” Robert â€" “Well, I saw a sign down fhe street that said: ‘School ahead â€" go slow’ . ” On Thursday, June 5th at 7 p. m.

Last week the minister who had married them was an honored guest at the diamond wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Burton, of Whitevale in Markham township. He was Rev. J. B. Moore who 60 years before had performed the ceremony in the little village of White Hill Mills. Members of outstanding pioneer fam- ilies, Mr. Burton is now 85 years old and Mrs. Burton is 81. Mr. Burton’s grandfather, Major Milligan, fought under General Brock at Queenston Heights and saw him fall in the battle. Mrs. Burton’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Reesor, were the first fami- ly to settle in Markham township, g0- ing there in 1798 when Mr. Reesor was 19 and Mrs. Reesor was 15. Three were injured in a bad auto accident on Yonge Street near Bond Lake on Sunday morning about 11 o’clock. Alexander McKinley, his wife and Edward Cook all of Toronto were travelling south at what is said a moderate rate of speed when Mcâ€" Kinley in lighting a cigarette appar- ently lost control and crashed into a large maple tree. The car was com- pletely wrecked and the occupants serâ€" iously injured. The unfortunate people were rushed to the General Hospital in Wright and Taylor’s ambulance in :1 record time of nineteen minites. Traffic Officer Reid going ahead and clearing trafl‘ic'. Following the sham battle and mili- tary manoevoures at Aurora on Sat- urday, May 24th, Sir William Mulock was host to the officers of the partici- pating units. A unique feature was the announcement by General Ashton Officer Commanding Military District No. 2 that William Pate Mulock, grandson of Sir William had been ap- pointed Honorary Lieutenant Colonel of the York Rangers. The father of Sir William Mulock and an uncle Rev. John Mulock were identified with the York Rangers about one hundred years ago. “Those new skirts need some watch- ing,” says the Orillia.

Meaford Board of Trade is assisting the local theatre in installing talking pictures by undertaking an advance sale of $2,000 worth of tickets. Rev. A. E. Marshall, pastor of the Trinity United Church at Newmarket, has tendered his resignation to the Board of Directors. It will go into effect immediately on appointment of his successor. Teacher â€" “Why are you late, Robâ€" GENERAL NEWS AND VIEWS The usual toll of motor accidents was reported'on Monday following the holiday. Down in Eastern Ontario another Canadian record has been set up. This time a twoâ€"year-old cross-bred York- shire and Tamworth sow, owned by J. E. Armstrong, of Kinburn, gave birth to a litter of 24 “squeals” on April 26. This pig had been doing great work previously and in three previous litt- ers she gave birth to ten in the first WW and fifteen in the third. Out of a total of 59 pigs, only six have died. At the approaching elections cottage owners will not be able to vote in the municipalities where they summer if their domicile is in another riding. Here’s another record and the hon- ors are shéred between the post offices of Orillia and Port Perry. Forty-six years ago J.W. Burnham, division court clerk at Port Perry, mailed a post card to J. P. Henderson, division court clerk at Orillia, informing him of a division court case under consid- eration. That occurred on December 26, 1884. Last Week J. B. Henderson, present court clerk at Orillia and son of the former clerk, received the post card in his morning mail. In these days of fast air mail the post card made rapid progress covering the one hundred and five miles between the two towns. Bala correspondent to a Bracebridge paper reports a local ministrel show as “a howling success.” Yes, we’ve heard that kind. Aurora citizens band recently held their first weekly band concert. Such concerts are good business for any town. Two men who attempted to hold up a milkman in Orillia were roughly handled. The driver gave them a strong “milk shake,” as it were. The Bracebridge Gazette says that by the reduction in duty on tea the housewife can buy herself a cup and saucer with the saving on two pounds. Premier King’s export liquor bill passed the senate Without division. The ban on liquor exports to the Unit- cd States now only awaits concurrence in a technical amendment by the house cf commons and royal assent. Within a fortnight liquor running to United States will be illegal under Canadian law. A preference to Canada on agriculâ€" tural produce and on fish has been granted by Bermuda, according to a telegram received Friday by the prime minister from the Hon. Mr. Bluck, speaker of the Legislative As- semny of Bermuda. At a special meeting of the Bolton council it was decided to improve the street lighting in the main part of the town. Eight new lights of 200 watts capacity will be installed and an equal number of the present hundred watt lights fitted with two hundred watt lamps. New style brackets will take the place of the present equipment. Scarboro’s oldest kirkâ€"St. Andrew’s Presbyterian at Bendaleâ€"will shortly observe its 113th anniversary. Breaking a pane of glass in a base- ment window and then forcing an in- ner door with a crowbar, burglars early Saturday morning gained ent- rance to the men’s furnishing store of Wyatt Moorby, on Main Street, New- market, and made their escape with goods valued at $400. A man and a woman passengers on a Danforth Highway bus were com- pletely overcome due to fumes and overcrowding last Friday evening. They were removed and given medical attention.

READ THE “ADS.” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO FERTILIZER TESTS 0N SPRING GRAIN Through the coâ€"operation of Mr. R. E. Wlfite, Newmarket, Agricultural Representative, interesting demonstra- tions of the effect of fertilizer on spring grain have been laid down in York County by the Department of Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural Coll- ege. These tests include one on bar- ley on the farm of Mr. Jas. A. Ledsen, Vandorf; and two on oats on the farms of Mr. Isaac Morton, Newmarket and Mr. R. Sennett, Queensville. It will be interesting for York Coun- ty farmers to study the effect upon growth and filling provided by the ad- dition of this readily available plant. food at a time when barley and oats particularly need help. A rmdulion of the wide range and high quality of manufactured prcducts centeiing in the twin citios of Fort William and Port Ar- thur was commented on by visitors to the “Home Industry Exhibition,” held at the former city recently.

'Do‘day trees are Iflentiful and there is hardly an es- tablished farm house but has its shelter belt or a grove of poplars, maples or some other variety of trees. Recent reports of inspec- tors of Canadian Government Forâ€" estry Service show that there are 7,600 farms thus provided and to date over 100 million trees have been distributed over the prairies, with many millions more bought from nurseries and planted on flax-ms. Alberta led the western provinces in the number of successful farm placements made in 1929 by the Canada Colonization Association when a. total of 427 families were settled on 56,808 acres, said W.
