Phone Willowdale 63.1 Wine Step 6 Yenge St., Lansing Many hreameries have advocated the new regulations for some time and were largely responsible for With close inspection not only would the grading be reliable and give the consumer a better guarantee of quality but it may also eliminate improper storage of butter, which allows gnades to deteriorate. A creamer-y official stated that the step would be of great benefit both to the consumer and those cream- eri'es which have maintained a cor- rect grading of butter voluntarily. Many creameries have been offering a First Grade butter for many years, he said, but some have been slipping in Second Grade butter as First Grade.

SPECIAL PAGE SIX Including Examination The increase in the number of bor- ers forecast above does not mean 1that the corn crOp will be ruined, and that we will have returned! to the conditions of 1925-26. It means only that in some fields borers will be ‘conspicuous and do more damage-than during the past two years, and that ‘in other fields they will be more numerous but still do little chmage. There is a. warning, however, in, the predicted increase in that growers should realize that, although there will not be much commercial damage this year, the borer under favourâ€" able conditions, Will increase marked- ly, and if two or three such seasons occur in succession it may increase enough to ruin the crop if strict clean-up measures are not practised, year after year. 7 in: entering the plant. However, at the present time, we know that dur- ing the flight season this year more moths laid considerably more eggs per plant than during the last two years. It is too early yet to secure the mortality of larvae after hatching and before they become established in the corn plant. The infestation in the autumn depends to a. large extent upon the success of the borer The moths observed in the plots increased from 27 in 1934 and 29 in 1935 to 132 during the present year, while the number of eggs laid per plant increased from .5 in 1934 and 1.9 in 1935 to 13.8 in the present year. An increase in the numbers of corn borers in the present corn crop is indicated by the number of moths in flight and the number of eggs laid per plant in experimental plots of the Dominion Entomological La- boratory «at Chatham‘ during the pre- sent season. sent season. l Corn Borer Increasing Various reports have appeared re- garding the effect of the corn borer on the 1936 crop., Apparently there has been considerably more activity on the part of the moths than for several years past, and the entomo- logists emphasize the importance of a thorough clean-up of the corn fields in order to prevent a return of con- ditions as we had them in the cornâ€" g'rowing district some ten years ago.

Wellington has had some rain, described as a godsend to late potatoes, roots, pastures and to those now preparing for fall wheat. Yields in Haldimand are generally quite low, particularly spring crops. Total yields of 200 to 300 bushels on 100~ acre farms are reported. Very few. catches of small seeds are in evi- dence and as a result there is a great deal of afterâ€"harvest cultivation beâ€" .ing carried on.

Or, as in Sandra’.s~ case, too well be- loved. What did she care who he was, of where he came from? He was a conquering hero in her eyes, a figure of wild romance. A young American planter on a tiny tropical island which she pictured set like an emerald in a blue enamel sea, some- where below the equator. Last summer when Tom had (-ome north on business and She had met him at a dance, he had woven about her the spell of a personality that was magnetic and bold and dashing. as that of any bucan'eer that ever saliled the Spanish Main. Married in June and hating her husband in September â€" and loving him, too. Desperately. That insane jumble of emotions sometimes kept her awake at his side through the still hot nights that were noisy with the interminable songs of insects, the shrill, nerve wracking “kc-keeâ€" ko-kee†of myriad crickets, and from afar the bellowing of oxen punctu- ating the humming stillness. A stillâ€" ness that had a million voices. This mad land where doves cooed mono- tonously from dark until dawn. Too much life. It nearly drove her mad. And beside Sandra every day, un- der her husband’s eyes, was Lupe Bolivar. With her smooth dark skin that glowed with subdued gold of seed oranges; Lupe, with liquid dark eyes and smoothly parted hair that framed her incredibly pure features in shining wings of silken black. Lupe was instinct with the mysteriâ€" ous voluptuous life of the equator, the rich vitality that breath â€" from Tom Cathcart, too, potent as a drug. Useless because she was a failâ€" in'e at loving. Loving at Tom Cath- cart wanted: her to love. She had been his bride for only three months and yet she was tired â€"â€" tired al- ready. The pressure of intolerable heat that seemed to crush out her vital- ity as the giant orange presser ex~ pelled the golden fruit juices, leav- ing only rank, twisted rinds that decayed in the fierce blast of tro- pical sun. She felt like that â€" squeezed dry, broken, useless. A million orange blossoms â€" that had been her idea of Heaven when her mother, three months ago, had shopped all over Boston to secure a dozen sprays for her wedding veil. But a. million orange blossoms prov- ed to be too many. She longed for the cool tang of Northern seas, for the roar of breakers and the hoarse cry of gulls wheeling against a gray sky. It was dusk now, and hotter than it had been even at noon. Heat lay over the ctrus orchards in a purple pall. The scent of the waxen flow- ers that starred the dark glossy green boughs of the orange trees in steady, unwavering sweetness, smo- thering', thick as oil. Alone with hensecret. A secret she wanted so to share with him, but could not. Too much that had been rare and glorious between them had disappeared. Sandra mulled it over fbr the hundredth time that evening as she lay in a low fibre chair on the ver- andah of the hacienda, waiting for Tom to ride home for dinner. He had been inspecting the outposts of the plantation with his foreman. Tom was later than usual and Sanâ€" dra felt sickening alone, alone. There was something between themâ€"Sandra’s husband Tom Cath- cart, and Lupe Bolivar, her native maid. Something spoke secretly in the meeting of their eyes, in the significant, understanding silence that brooded between them, broken only occasionally by low-toned mono- syllables in a tongue she did not un- derstand. By Caroline Appleton “WW 9. The Liberal Short Story _ SOMETHING BETWEEN THEM THE LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Then he said to Sandra, quietly: “Don’t be impatient with Lupe, darl- ing. She means well. They lare very natural, these people. After all she’s .been through it herself a good many times.†Lupe did not understand her words, but Sandra’s tone must have been very plain to her. She grew pale to the lips and shrank back, glanc- ing at Tom swiftly. He said a word that sounded to Sandra like apology. When she came back to conscious»- ness, she was in her own bed, and Lupe was bending over her, her dark glowing face, anxious and yet curi- ously complacent. Sandra shrank into her pillows. She whnted to claw at Lupeâ€"to scream aloud in the frenzy of jealousy that tore at her. But she turned her eyes away from the faceâ€"and saw Tom. He was standing at the foot of her bed, and in his face, too, was the look of anxiety and â€"â€" wasn’t it satis~ faction? Lupe was murmuring to her soft- Tom, standing straight and tall in his white, red girdled riding clothes his sombrero shading his face in the deepening dusk so that she saw no- thing but a blur of white. She could not read his expression. And Lupe stood close to him, holding out some small white objects for his inspec- tion. He laughed again and touched her cheek lightly, a swift caress, alâ€" most of gratitude. Sandra saw no more. She turned and went across the verandah land into the house. Moving stiffly, uncertainly, she fell across the threshold of their bed»- room. Now she had to see them. She rose stiffly, involuntarily. And she saw. A little thing, but enough. Then suddenly she saw Lupe standing alone in the shadows of tall hibiscus bushes whOSe petals were already furled for the night. She was motionless as an Indian. Waiting for someone. For Tom, San- dra knew, to speak with him alone before he entered the house. In a wave of blinding, furio‘us' jealousy, she sank back into her low, deep chair, weak with fury. She c10sed her eyes, struggling for self con- trol. She mustn’t make a scene when ,Tom came. She mustn’t degrade 1herself by letting him .see that she was jealous of her maid. She must be calmâ€"poised. And in the morn- ing she must tell quite simply that she was going to leave him. That the climate, the heat, were too much for her. That she was going back home to the States. Simply that. Nothing more. She lay still. Then she heard the crisp rapid footsteps she knew so well, musi- cal with the clank of the pictur- esque rowel spurs that Tom wore â€"part of the dramatic red sashed costume of white which he liked to wear about the plantation. Sandra’s heart twisted at the sound of his step as it had the first night she saw him. She stayed in her chair only by holding hard to the wicker arms. Forcing herself not to spring up and greet him. Screened by the railing draped with bougainville vines, she heard Lupe’s soft voice say gladly: “Senorâ€"mire." That meant “Look!†Sandra un- derstood that much. Tom’s steps halted. He made some low-toned response. Then she heard him laugh softly. The low pitched, lazy, happy laugh that was Sandra’s. The ten- d‘e'r laugh that belonged to the most intimate hours they shared. Sandra stared at her husband. He was content to dream away every leisure hour which he did not employ in making love to her. How could she have tired of love mak- ing? But she did. And then she began to notice Lupe Bolivar. Lupe had been here when Sandra arrived. She had greeted Tom respectfully, but with a glowing warmth and de- light that had delighted Sandra, she thought, how they love himâ€"these people who have known him so long! But What she thought now was â€" how she loves him, this girl who has known him so long! And what is thereâ€"between them? Some curious bond of understanding. They seem- ed to share a secret. Suspicion, once aroused, devoured Sandra, poisoning every waking hour. was part of his technique of living in that deadly heat. But it infuri- ated her. He never hurried. He never exerted himself in any sort of amusementâ€"not even to play cards. TERMS:â€"Fat cattle, grain, hay, pigs, hens, ‘and all articles sglling for $25.00 and under cash.
