Creeks were swollen by the rain and in some cases cross- ed the roads at a depth of six to twelve inches. No crops were reported damaged by the heavy rain this week and on the contrary it proved a lboon to farmers and fruit growers. ‘The steady downpour soaked the ground and, as a result, earlier crops of po- tatoes and other garden vegetables are expected. Three or four cellars On Sunday the heavy downpour again washed Out the driveways leading to the golf courses north of Thornhill. Red lanterns were put alongside the road to warn motor- ists of undermined ditches. Cars were stopped both in Thornhill and‘ Richmond Hill because of the poor visibility. HAY FEVER Hay fever is caused by the irrita- tion to the mucous membrane of the nose and throat frOm the pollen or dust of plants and graSSes by per- sons sensitive to such irritation. The offending plants are trees, grasses and weeds, and the particular offend; er in a given case may be recog- nized by skin tests. Pollen or dust, to be effective in causing hay fever in sensitive per- sons must contain an excitant to this condition: it must rbe capable of be. ing carried ."by winds and for con- siderable distances; the source must be abundant and the plants widely distributed. In the early spring, trees carry the causative pollens. Then come the grasses, say about June, and then the weeds in Autumn. On the American Continent the wind-pollinated trees are those carry- ing catkins, such as the poplar, oak, birch, walnut, beach, hazel and alder. Others are the maple, ash, hackâ€" berry, sycamore and mullberry. The willow pollen is the only one of these not carried by winds. Trees pro- ducing perifect flowers,. such as the elm and mesquite, are also wind- pollinated. On the Western prairies, the poplar is the chief offender a- mong trees and timothy is the worst of the grasses. The heavy rain during the 3past few weeks has caused quite a bit of damage in both Thornhill and Rich- mond Hill districts. On Friday night the six o‘clock radial car was struck by lightning in front of the post off- ice in the village. It caught fire but Motorman Edgar Badger of To- ronto was prompt with a fire ex- tinguisher and immediaetly put it out. There were no passengers in the radial at the time and the mot- orman was not hurt. Dr. Heber C. Jamieson, of Edmonâ€" ton, writing in the Canadian Medical 'Association Journal,‘ defines the three hayâ€"fever areas of the province of Alberta. One of these stretches from the Red Deer River to the northern boundary. A second com- prises the southern section of this region with its upper limit the Peace River country, while the third exâ€" tends from the Reed Deer south to the international boundary. Of trees, the poplar is the impor- tant one so far as hay fever in A]â€" berta is concerned. From midâ€"April on is the season for its ravages. Timothy pollinates from the middle of June. Weeds are the chief causes of auâ€" tumn hay fever. These comprise the ragâ€"weed family and the thistle fam- ily. The effects of these are found from July onwards. Golden rod, popularly supposed to excite hay fev- er, has been practically exonerated. The sufferer from hay fever sees the first signs in what appears to be a violent cold in the head which may be associated with asthma. There are attacks of sneezing, eyes itch, headache and lassitude. Old persons are practically exempt. Storms Do Damage important point. To disc0ver the cause, skin tests are done on the suffera' using suspected dusts and’ pollens. The cause having been found a vaccine is prepared from the ‘ offending substances. This, method' of prevention is effectual in the ma- jority of cases. ‘ Prevention of the condition is thel â€"â€"By J. W. S. McCullough, M.D., D.P.H. of the Health League of Canâ€". ada. LITTLE BROS.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Ontario Weeds cost Canada between $250,â€" 000 and $300,000 yearly in loss of production diminution of land values, cutting, spraying, etc., Dr. W. J. Stephen of the crops, weeds and seeds branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture declared at Wil- |lowdale Tuesday at a weedâ€"spraying demonstration which was attended by weed inspectors and municipal offi- lcials from all parts of York County. ‘ In Ontario alone the cost annually [is $310,000, said Dr. Stephen. Thou- sands of acres were taken out of lproduction each year by everâ€"spread- ling weeds, he said. } Lellers from The People In the first place the Balmoral Pipe Band is not defunct (if Mr. Zue_ felt knows the meaning of the word) but is very much alive and the thouâ€" sands that heard us and‘ the ap- plause we received on the route of March in Barrie on July 12th spoke for itself. At another point he states that the newly organized Pipe Band has no connection whatever with the defunct Balmoral Pipe Band, for that we are glad as our Band nowi consists of firstâ€"class pipers and not dummies. It, is rather surprising what harm can be done any organ- ization (by one or two disgruntledi members. In conclusion I may say that we are in a good financial p051.“ tion, have no debts, have consider. able equipment and have $61 out on loan at the present time. The demonstration was organized by department officials and‘ North York council. Among the speakers were John D. McLeod, assistant di- rector of the crops, weeds and seeds branch, W. M. Cochburn, York Coun- ty agricultural representative. We the undersigned members of the Balmoral Pipe Band wish to cor- rect a statement which appeared in last week’s issue of The Liberal unâ€" der the signature of L. W. Zuefelt and- which reads as follows: A Pipe Band has been organized for the Village of Richmond Hill by three former members of the defunct Bal- moral Pipe Band, to the known as the Richmond Hill Pipe Band. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space and wishing the newâ€" ly organized Richmond Hill Pipe Band of 3 pipers every success. Signed, W. G.

The sprayer, equipped with a long, liftafole boom, with nozzles every few inches along it, stprayed‘ every inch of the shoulder of the road and. ditch. All weeds there would be dead in three days, it waa stated, and re- peated sprayings would eradicate them entirely.
