BEER • HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By CARL HEMINGWAY On March 17 the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture Co-opera- tors' Insurance Conference was held in the King Edward Hotel, • Toronto. Since its formation some twelve years ago, the progress of this organization has been amaz- ing. In the past five years it has al- most doubled its automobile poli- cies, from 56,000 to 101,000, and its other lines policies from 2,000 to 17,000. Through the years your • company has endeavoured suc- cessfully to provide you with bet- ter and better protection at• rea- sonable cost. At the same time, it has been able to pay reason- able interest on all share capital. Suggestions for improvement in providing the coverage you want „ are always welcome. It is your project in self-help. Let's make it even better. Co-operators' Life Insurance, which was launched just over a year ago, reported outstanding success. Perhaps for the first time in history a life insurance company has been able to pay • dividends to policyholders at the end of its first year of operation. With over six million life insur- ance in force at the end of 1960, we hope to make it over 15 mil- lion by the end of '61. Since the press and radio and TV have done a good job of bring- +, ing a report of the business ac- tivities of the recent Hog Produc- ers annual, I will not comment on this part of the meeting. How- ever, there were a couple of items in the program that were appar- ently overlooked. These sidelights developed at the annual dinner on March 21. Farm organizations, particularly the Hog Producers, have at times been criticized for their laxity in recog- nition . of political personalities. This oversight of the past was cor- rected by the presence of the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Biggs, Geo McKague, Opposition Leader • Oliver, and CCF Leader MacDon- ald, at the head table. It was surprisingly evident that the Minister of Agriculture and the Government he represents has lost the confidence of the hog producer delegates to an amazingly high de- gree. This fact reflected .quite clearly in the minister's face from time to time. Many delegates commented on this after the din- ner and some, at least, had hopes that it would have some affect on s STARTED PULLETS December and January , HATCHED Honeggar Pullets ELZAR MOUSSEAU •e • • 4 • • Hensall Phone HENSALL 278 W 4 WANTED ,LIVE FOWL Picked Up At the Farm TOP PRICES Phone 751 J 12 — SEAFORTH or 393 J 15 — BRUSSELS RONALD BENNETT WALTON ODORLESS CLEAN BURNING FURNACE OIL STOVE OIL D.

In the light of this it came as quite a shock to me to hear it reported over CFPL Radio on the morning of March 24, that the Ontario Minister. of Agriculture now feels the time has arrived to remove the ban on the sale of col- ored margarine in Ontario. Have we` -farm people, dropped so low in the eyes of Government that a show of our displeasure has no affect on our elected represent- atives? I resent getting kicked, but to be considered too dumb to know it really adds insult to in- jury. Perhaps the Hog Producers can find some comfort in having the Cream Producers join them in lick- ing each others wounds, but I wonder who will be next on the list of second-rate citizens? Garden Planning It Takes Many Kinds People may wonder why some grass mixtures are priced higher than others, and why there are mixtures at all. There is no mys- tery about this once we understand that a good lawn grass seed, like good tea or tobacco, is a blend of several different kinds of grasses and different blends are used for different purposes. Moreover some of the varieties are com- paratively rare and expensive and may have been imported from the other side of the world. A lawn is not a hay field, and what we want is something that will be green all through the sea- son. For a sunny position we will use one type of mixture; for a lawn that will be largely shaded we use another. For a Lawn that must carry a lot of traffic or is used for a special purpose like bowling or tennis, we use still an- other blend. To stay green and luxuriant aa11 through the growing season, we must use a variety of grasses, some that start to grow early, some that do not grow until late. In this way some of them will always be at their best and green when others are starting to turn brown and mature. By using blends of grasses chosen, especial- ly for Canadian conditions, we can have something that rivals the best broadloom from early spring until the snow comes. Never Too Eearly For Shrubbery While there is no advantage and much risk in planting most flowers and vegetables too early and one is strongly advised to be patient, this does not apply to nursery stock, which is the professional's name for such things as shrub- bery, trees and vines. As a rule the sooner these things are plant- ed in the Spring, the better, though if dormant (that is with no growth or buds started) as they should be when purchased or delivered, we can go on planting until well into May or even June. In any case, however, they should be put in the soil just as soon as received, even if we are not ready to plant in their permanent place. The ex- perts strongly advise to open the parcel, and temporarily plant in a shallow trench where the roots will be covered and stay moist. Tech- nically this is known as "heeling in One doesn't have to have a green thumb to achieve perfect results with trees, shrubbery or even rose bushes. But there are three or four points that are important. First, the getting into the ground quickly so that the stock does not get `a chance to dry out or be exposed to the air. Second, and of very great importance, is wa- tering. After the soil is packed thoroughly about the roots, water liberally and keep on watering ev- ery day or so if necessary until growth starts. With big things like trees, either fruit or ornamental, it is also advisable to tie firmly to a stake to prevent the wind loosening. Why a Canadian Seed Catalogue ' Why specify a Canadian seed catalogue for reference, guidance and practical help rather than any of the similar and excellent pub- lications that may be put out in other countries? The answer is simple—because we have a Cana- dian climate and'Canadians condi- tions that are entirely different from those found anywhere else in the world.

DEAN, M.D. MEDITORIAL: The exact cause of stomach ulcers has not been determined and probably never will be. Some predisposing factors are known to occur, however, and I will discuss some of these today. A person does not inherit a stom- ach ulcer, but he may inherit a tendency for one. This tendency, coupled with excess tension, is the reason why some persons get ul- cers while others do not. The ac- tion of the stomach is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This system is a network of nerves that direct our involuntary ac- tions (sweating, blushing, intestinal movements, secretion of acids). Tension or stress of any type may, through these autonomic nerves, cause the stomach to pro- duce more acid' than is necessary. It is this excess acid that helps produce the ulcer. Tension, in the same, way, may also. cause the stomach muscles to tighten up. Thus food cannot be eliminated from the stomach for several hours, giving rise to various symp- toms of gas, bloating, indigestion. The term, "my stomach is all tied up in knots," is very expressi0e. Most stomach ulcers develop slowly over a period of a few weeks. Anybody can develop one at any time in his Life. Pain is the most common symptom. Us- ually described as a "steady hun- ger pain," it is located at the top of the stomach just below the breast bone. The pain begins from one to three hours after eating. It is most often relieved by foods, especially milk, and aggravated by alcohol and condiments. The saying, "It's not what you eat that causes a stomach ulcer, it's what's eating you that does it," sums up today's message quite well. varieties of flowers and vegetables, grass and shrubbery that may give wonderful results say in England or France or the United States, but which will not do well, if at all, in Canada. Some are much too tender; some require a longer growing season than we have in the greater part of this country— some require entirely different soil —some for various reasons might be highly susceptible to some dis- ease, blight or other enemies which may be found here but not else- where. Because of our special cli- mate and other conditions Cana- dian seed catalogues only list those varieties of flowers and vegetables, grass and so on which will normally thrive in Canada and which have been tested under Can- adian conditions and are recom- mended especially for Canadian conditions. Indeed seed firms would be foolish to follow any other course because It is in their direct interest, as well as that of the buyer thathe seeds purchas- ed should do well. Plan to add something new each season. It will greatly Increase your Interest. Alterate Old P.O. Town Council has given authori- zation to "proceed immediately" with alterations to the first floor of the old Post Office building on West Street to provide municipal offices and council chambers. The work will be under winter works program by which 25 per cent of the labor costs only will be borne by the town and the balance by the provincial and federal govern- ments. Cost of materials, labor, etc., is estimated at approximate- ly $10,000.—Goderich Signal -Star. Appoint Assessor Meeting in special session last Wednesday night, the council of the Village of Zurich hired Gordon Surerus as assessor, 'at a salary of $250 per year. Only two appli- cations were received for the posi- tion, one from Roy Lamont and the other from Mrs. Elda Wagner. After interviewing both the appli- cants, council decided to call in Mr. Surerus, who had intimated to several councillors that he would accept the position if asked to do so, although he had not applied.— Zurich Citizens -News.

Mr. and Mrs. Steve Maloney, of Cobourg, and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Has Grand Champ The grand champion bull in the Hereford division of the Ontario bull show and sale held at Oak- ville on Thursday, was owned by Heber Eedy and Sons, of Dungan- non, The champion, Cransford Battle Intense was sold for $1,100 to J. R. Nokes, of Manilla, in East- ern Ontario. The grand champion would have been offered for sale last fall at the Huron Breeders semi-annual sale, but inoculations, which the animal' had received prevented him from being con- signed. It proved quite profitable for the owners to have him for consignment in last week's sale.— Lucknow Sentinel, Where Did the Algonkian-Speaking Tribes Live? At the time of the first European contacts the Indians belonging to Algonkian-speaking tribes occupied an area larger than that of any other linguistic grouping hi North America, On the Atlantic seaboard they lived in the region from the mouth of the Hudson River north to the edge of Eskimo country on the Labrador coast; other Algon- kian-speaking tribes occupied the whole of Quebec, northern Ontario and parts of the prairies, with a further extension south into Min- nesota and Wisconsin. The name Algonkian, derived' from the Al- gonkin or Algonquin tribe of On- tario and Quebec, is used to desig- nate a family of related Indian languages. Among the tribes be- longing to the Algonkian-speaking Indian peoples were the Micmac and Malecite of the Maritimes, the Montagnais, Algonkin, Ojibwa and Cree of central Canada, and the Plains Cree, Blackfoot, Blood and Piegan in the West.
