A fragmentary 19th or early 20th century page lists community items: manure trade and drovers, local workers like W. J. Koo, Malgue Millantu’s needs, and Pannatwolk’s work with Walker the painter. It mentions Harve dog injury, improvements at Acton Tanning Co. and Yetant recorder install, plus a Malton Woman's Institute gathering with Mrs. Torrance demonstrations on cooking meat and vegetables, sauces, desserts, dressings, and fowl.

Ontario farmers in a cooperative experimental union are testing new crop varieties once withheld by the Ontario Agricultural College. The program reports higher value per acre and potential to offset long-term college costs, with thirty five experiments in 1922 including crops like Haden Grand, Hubham Sweet Clover, Cow Cabbage, Sugar Mannels, and Gola Nugeet Corn. Ontario applicants for 1972 cooperative trials should contact C A Zavits at the Agricultural College in Guelph for details and application forms.
Inventor Robert Yi Mouleton describes a portable machine that bores four holes at once using a light hinged truss frame with gear driven boring beads. The device folds for transport and can be mounted on an automobile chassis or weight cannon, enabling rapid drilling for explosives loading, tree planting, telegraph poles, ditches, and other tasks.

A long mixed text discusses Jehoshaphat and reforms under Asa, with references to 2 Chronicles 14 and 15. It presents discussion prompts on Abijah’s era, Ame Woty Wun, and a constructive program, followed by daily readings for the next week and a product plug for a worm exterminator.
