TARGET FOR ARTHRITIS Sttm tel based on a study by „ tin: 4nerican Government of health conditions in- the United i' itatea• .rural sections indicate ,that e Iarmer is the chief target of e nation's greatest crippler—.arth- lrttii, •In fact, the farmer is al - Most twice as likely to be bit by aklbritis as the city dweller. This is difficult to understand, as the farmer spends most of his time in, the healthful outdoors. Yet `the cold statistics paint a grim Picture. An estimated 14 per cent of. all U.S. farm workers are vic- tiuds in some degree of this pain- ful and crippling disease. dIrthritis strikes hard at the farmer's pocketbook. The pain and misery of this chronic disease lessen his ability to' put in a full Clay's work. He must often dras- tically reduce his farmed acreage. Even if he is able • to plant his crops, he may not be able to har- vest them later. It is significant that the propor- tion of -arthritic farmers who must Cut down on their daily work loads is higher than among arthritics who live in rural areas but do oth- er types of work.The fact that he works outdoors 'in all sorts of weather and that pwho do the hardest physical la 'r are more apt to be stricken wi arth- ritis, are possible • explanafions. There is hope for the arthritic in the rural sections of Ontario in the new plans of The Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society for 1959-61. Campaigns will be conducted to raise funds to ex- tend the services of the Society further into the rural communi- ties adjacent to its 14 branches in Ontario. One feature of the plan is to provide special bed units in cer- tain hospitals in which selected arthritic patients from any part of the province may receive prolong- ed special treatment. A more intensive research pro- gram will be instituted, for in re- search lies the main hope of dis- covering the causes and eiientual conquest of "Arthritis, the Great Crippler". Research On Silage Mold Here's something new. The On- tario Department of Agriculture says that Minnesota researchers nave had good success eliminating silage mold. They used sulfur candles. The system worked best when rained -on hay was baled as low -moisture silage. The bales were covered with an air -tight plastic film 'and a lighted` sulfur candle was placed inside. The can- dle used up the mold -causing oxy- gen and -produced sulfur -dioxide gas which acts as a preservative. FOOD .and FIXIN'S Recipes For. the Busy.

Like other cuts of pork they are tender enough to cook well in dry heat. Probably because of this... you lin-WV thought much about-eook- ing pork shoelder in moist heat on top of the stove. If so, you're in for a- treat when you try these new recipes. The boiled pork dinner, .which contains a large variety of fresh vegetables, is a complete meal, with brimming good flavour and g attractive colour. The curry is the easiest one ever made—and one of the thriftiest. Since both of these recipes are destined to be- come family favourites, why not try them now, while pork shoulder is such a good buy!

Timely Farm Tips Think about the new squirrel cage or centrifugal fans if you're running into ventilation problems in your 'stabler suggests Ontario Department of, Agriculture exten- sion specialist, Ross Milne. Unlike propeller fans, they are quite ef- fective against strong winds. They 'aren't• direct'drive, either; you can change pulley sizes easily so they will run faster in warm weather anti slower in cold. Another ad- vantage: they run very quietly. * * * Now's the time to buy your Lin- coln, Achenbach or Fisher brome grass for 1960's hay and pasture mixtures, says Dr. Bill Tossel, 0. A. C. foxage, scientist. Last year's U.S. 'seed'Was the poorest in years and seed supplies are very low. Late buyers might be forced to buy the -.variety --.Canadian brome. * * * Geese will start laying anytime now and keep right on until the middle of June. As a rule they. will lay every other day if they don't go broody, says Earle Sny- der, of • Poultry Husbandry, O.A.C. To prevent broodiness, gathereggs dailand confine bids that re starting to brood away from. their mates and regular quarters. * * * Make sure your ewes get some grain the six weeks before lamb- ing time, advises Prof. Ted Need- ham, of the O.A.C, •Animal Hus- bandry Department. Feed oats and sane barley or corn. About 1A -to 11/ pounds (depending on the size of the ewe) of grain, per day will do. Don't Fatten Ewes Too Early You might want to keep ewes on fairly thin pasture after breeding, say livestock experts with the On- tario Department of Agriculture. This prevents adding fat early in the gestation period and decrease the chances of disease. - Keep Engine Clean When you remove the air clean- er or carburetor of, an engine for' servicing, "Iay a cle?n rag over the intake opening, says-O.A.C. en- gineer, Don Clark. This keeps dirt and foreign objects from dropping into the engine through the open- ing. Clean engines last longer. Tractor Tire Punctures ver punctured a tire that con- tains liquid for extra 'weigllt? Jack up the wheel and turn the punc- ture to the top, say engineers with the Ontario Department of Agri- culture. This will save most of the liquid. Safety With Electric Hand Saws When using an electric saw, choose the . right blade for -the ma- terial to be sawed, advises Hal Wright, safety etpert with the On- tario • Department of Agriculture. Use only sharp blades and don't force the saw. If the motor stalls,' pull back the saw before starting it again. How To, Stop Milkstone., Flush out your milking machine as soon as you finish milking, says Ontario Agricultural College dairy specialist, Fred Hamilton. A de- lay of even 20,t,e 30 minutes is en- ough to start the formation of milkstone. Once milkstone has started to form, you'll need a milk - stone remover to clean it out of your equipment. Better Tractor Operation For quick tractor engine warm- up 4nd operating efficiency in the winter, try covering the radiator with a blanket or burlap bags, say agricultural engineers with the Ontario'Department De p t of Agricul- ture. Remove the wrapping when +he engine becomes warm. To cut out condensation in. the fuel sys- tem, fill the fuel tank at -night and run the engine until the carburetor is filled with fresh fuel. Can You Figure Iue'Of Silage? In case you have to dicker with a neighbor over how much his sil- age is worth, buy on this basis: corn silage is worth about one- third the price of good alfalfa hay. So says Dr. Bill Tosseli, forage researcher at the 0.A.C. Accord- ing to him, "the feeding value of three, pounds of good corn silage is about equal to the feeding value of one pound of good .alfalfa hay. If the hay is selling for $21 a ton, corn Silage is worth about $7 a ton." You might still have trouble esti- mating quantity, but you can get a fair guide by using these fig- ures. A settled column of 14 x 26 feet of silage weighs about 70 tons. The density increases as you go towards the 'bottom, and the bot- tom 10 feet would weigh about 27 tons. From these figures you should be able to calculate ap- proximately how much silage you are buying • and its approximate worth. The Scripture lesson, read by Mrs. G. Murray from Matthew . 5:41.Q, was followed with prayer by Mfg'' F. Walters. Comments were giv- en by the leader. The topic on "Lot's Wife,' the Woman Who Look- ed Back," was given by 1YIrs.

THE PART PROTEIN PLAYS' IN HUMAN -•NUTRITION Many favorite food combinations supply the 'necessary body-building proteins. Cereal and milk, poach- ed egg on toast, macaroni and cheese' and many other popular mixtures do this job. High' quality or complete pro- teins have what is needed for both growth and repair, while the in- complete proteins will not support growth although they can look af- ter repair and maintenance. It's fairly simple to remember which are complete proteins, according to the Home Economics $ervice ' i1 the Ontario Departmentoof Agri- culture. Foods from animal sourc- es, suchas meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and cheese, 'contain' :all the essential proteins, usually in sufficient quantities. .On the other hand, the proteins in cereals, nuts and dry 'vegetables lack one or more of the essentials, or else they are present in too small amounts to do the job. properly. And all these components must be present in the blood stream at the satne time if growth is to be maximum.

It: 845 s Zfli eI Planning Group Condemns Growth Along Highways �Jlleontrolled "strip" or "ribbon" velopment along main highways outside towns was condemned by directors of the Mid -Western On- tario Development Association, at their meeting Wednesday evening in Stratford. Elmer Goebel, MODA general manager, said Thursday that the association was a strong support- er of controlled planning, which must go hand-in-hand with in- dustrial development in' an area. "It is our hope . that some solu- tion can be found to overcome this problem, existing as it does throughout the whole of Southern Ontario," Mr. Goebel' said. "The worst spots ,are to be found mostly in those rural areas that have .taken no steps yet to prevent this kind of uncontrolled development. These steps should consist of passing controlling by- laws, such as were recently ap- proved in Wallace township. "That is an area which will see a vast expansion in population in the next year or so," Mr. Goebel continued, "because of new indus- tries springing up in the neighbor- ing town of Palmerston, and the Ontario hospital expected to be buil in the area." r. Goebel said he hoped that MODA would soon be able to spon- sor similar bylaws in E1ina town- ship. Another way to tackle the problem, he said, would, lieto dis, cuss it with the„Ontario Regional Development... Council, Province - wide body connecting, the work of all seven active area development associations and perhaps '• to de- vise sortie concerted effort at the provincial level, MODA is also taking stepsto bring about changes in govern- ment regulations on sale of indus- trial land by municipalities. Pre- sent rules, contained.in the indus-' trial sites section of the more than 20 years old municipal. act, are time-consuming and expensive. Two Appraisals • "Among other things,” -Mr. Goe- bel said, "they require municipali- ties selling land to an industrial developerr to have two separate appraisals on each individual sale." MODA-directors felt this placed municipalities in a difficult posi- tion when trying to deal with a prospective industrial buyer, Mr. Goebel pointed out, since they can- not quote a "firm price until the surveys have been completed. There had also been complaints of delays in approval of....such sales at the provincial government level, he added.
