FULLERTON URGES GENERAL PLANTING
The next time you have a pall full f garbage don't burn it. Dig a hole ..nd bury it on that plot which has '¦>een set aside for your farm. Hal B. Fullerton, in j»peaklng on "Agricul¬ tural Preparedness" at the Freeport High School last Thur.sday night told this and maiy other important thintrs UboMt agriculture to a large audience. Me .tdvised everyone who has been In 'he habit of ordering lamb and veal ror their meals to cut this piece de re- .-isfancc out of the menu.
"Let the little lamb nvnv, ui> Into .-ucep, bccatis*' they ml«ht be wanted to feed onr soldiers al the front," he .-aid. "Let that calf bc-come a huge < ow ro that she will be of -ttreater -ervice in giving beef when it is mo'st needed. He rosretfed the great wa.^te fit availahle land left Idle and added .*hat the people who are frettlnjr over 'tie high cost of living haven't begun IO see to what extent the prices will -oar as the war advances.
To coiinterac'i ar?alnKt this liow- ' vor. he preached tbe doctrine of -conomy and sacrifice. Itistead of ¦hose tangoes and card parties he de- > lan-d that the people should gel out tl the f'-rms and raise the biirgest tu-oduction of vegetable crops ever re¬ corded in this country. Kven as the 'owl life is concerned every effort to increase both the number of fowl and ¦he nttijiber of oksh should be made.
He said that if the people will feed
'lie chicken well that the hens will
ay well. That little siinllower which
-hoots up (0 a great height and which
'.as heen di'^carded as a back yard or-
ament makes excellent chicken food
nd excft<>s the hen to lay. Help the
e'l prodiiw^ HO as to put a stop to
1 the' focKl barons who have bought all
the available eggs at a low price and
• have put them in cold storage to work
' off on the consumers wilh fabulous
profits, i -Mr. Fullerton's address was out of the ordinary in that he brought hiij j audience so clo.se to nature. He pre- I sented a large number of 8'\ereopti- con views showing how certain vege¬ tables grow under proper treatment He urged everyone to cultivate the land as much as possliil* and to spray the vegetable plants especially in the early part.
The speaker also made a prayer for the birds staling that these creature.^ which liavc been made the marks eye for Kunmen, are the best means o" j ridding us of ifisects. If it were not I for tbe birds the fields would be over- I run with insects and nearly all onr I efforts would be wasted. He advised j the embryo farmers lo make pump¬ kins take the- place of flowers aloni;- side the r>orch front. He said the cn- ciiinber plant >;''ows a nice looking Mower and when the pumpkins come up they will have ha4 hoth beauty and variety. '

j Cleveland Has Tried Plan for Five I Year* to Its Profit, and Many Other I Cities Have Taken Up the Idea.
"A vegetable garden for every home,'' Is the new slogan In Ontario, iin<I It is a slogan worth while. I'he provin¬ cial government hus latinched u sys¬ tematic cuiupuign for backyard agri¬ culture, aud It proposes to show every householder how he may, by domestic farming, coinbut tbe increasing cost of living and the growing scarcity of food¬ stuffs, says the Cleveland I'inin r)ealer.
One of the alms of the Ontario gov¬ ernment Is, of course, so to Increase the availahle food stii)[)ly at homt to enable the contribution of still uiore to tbe hard-pressed rnotherluiid. But the plan must be broader in its results. Backyard gardening pays. Clevelaud hns tried it, these flve years past, to Its profit, and scores of other cities have taken uj) the Idea. The earth is the source of wealth. The man who cultlva'les a plot of ground contributes to the welfare of all mankind.
The new Cunadl.-in luovetnent owes Its origin to the stress of war. It Is the kind of movement which perpetu¬ ates itself. The man. the woman or the child who onc(» knows the delight of growing things is uhvuys the better for it, aud .so is his community. 'L'his country cun follow with profit the ex¬ ample In Intensive cultivutiou whicb Ontario is to rurnlsh.

Tbe number of measures olTered on each side will be further added fo before the dny of tlnal ail.journment in spite of tbe fact that iiiiunlmoiis I'ojiseiit is retpilred for the IntriMliierion of u measure in the assembly
Si)ec-uliition as to the dnte of final ad .lournment is still rife. While it " as tent.itlvely iii^reed that the worR of tin session might be roneltided during the present v\'eek.

Assembly Ready to Adjourn. Invariably bus tbe assembly linished the bulk of it.- business first. Today that liouse is in a position to adjonrn. and the meetings each day are coin paratively short. Tbe senate, on the other hand, is keeping its members at

The war measures are the imly ones which may be said to have been ex- jieditioilsly ^eiit through both houses, l'pon even local bills there has been delay, while tijion the projiosltlons of n state wide character there has been proerasliiiiition. even unnecessary de¬ lay. .\t least some of the ¦memhers think so.
