The difficulties attending this occupation will be overcome through experience. The preparation of the soil, the care of the plants, methods of harvesting, preparing and marketing. The local seed dealer will welcome the oppor- tunity of buying a supply of home grown seeds, which would work out to the advantage of the farmer. As it is now, the imported seeds have transportation, duties, if any, and sometimes two or three middlemen’s profits added to the cost, whereas the local grown product would be marketâ€" ed with only the distributors profit, and the whole transaction would bene- fit none others than Canadians. The seed division of the Departâ€" ment of Agriculture at Ottawa will provide an intending grower with much helpful information if he makes application. who is by far the largest seed supply of Canada. pays its labor as much as we do. It is true that they have some conditions of climate which we do not have and could therefore pro- duce varieties that we cannot. The price of our labor is so depressed that we can now compete with conjested Europe. I am. however, of the opinion that a part of our trouble is that seed growing has not been tried out by the average farmer. It is true that we grow much of our field seeds here, but it seems to be only incidental to the regular farm operations. I do not advocate farmers entering into wholesale seed growing. Some very good work can be done, and knowledge gained along this line by attempting to cultivate one or two kinds of seeds, and selecting only one popular variety of each kind so that it will remain true to that variety on account of avoiding pollenization from other varieties in proximity to this plot. Holland is our next largest contrib- utor, with no outstanding: quantity of any particular seed. France comes next with four’ hundred and sixty thousand pounds of red clover and a few other seeds. Germany provides us with three hundred and forty-four thousand pounds of sugar beet seed. We import another two hundred ten million pounds came from the United States. Of this amount more than six million pounds is timothy seed, and one and three quarter mil- lion pounds of field corn, and quarter of a million pounds of garden seeds,, exclusive of peas, corn and beans.

THE BAND CARNIVAL The Band Carnival which had been anxiously looked forward to for some time, came off on Tuesdav eve-nine: last, and was a pronounced success. 7* is a well known fact that whenever the ladies of Richmond Hill take anv- thing in hand, success is assured. and when it became known that the av- rangements for the above carnival were in the hands of a ladies commit- tee, expectations of something good were raised, and. as the event proved. were not raised in vain. The chief attraction of the evening was the Inâ€" ternational Drill, in which twenty“- four ladies and gentlemen took part as follows: To the insoirinq strains of Rule Britannia. the Union Jack. represented bv Miss Marv Trench. glided gracefullv around the rink to a nosition in the centre.

ON RIDING ON A FAST TRAIN By Neil Burton Did you ever travel on one of those fast trains that run between Monâ€" treal and Toronto? They are among the fastest in the world. You get on at Montreal and before you are aware of it you are jerked into the Union Station at Toronto at a cost of so much per jerk. A mile a minute with all the comforts of a toboggan slide and all the sensations of a sea voyage. If you paid your fare in the train you wouldn’t have time to get your change back before you got there. You travel so fast that when you are jerked into Toronto you have to set your watch back a half hour to give the sun a chance to catch up with you. the The York Blacksmith’s Association held a business meeting and banquet in Forester’s Hall, Wednesday evenâ€" ing of last week. The receipts at the Firemen’s Skat- ing: Benefit last evening amounted to $21.85. Those present enjoyed every band. and the rink closed at 10:30.
