Awake early one merning last
week, the writer- heard the card-
inals whistling. It was a welcome
sound and she hastened to ring
".53r2, Bayfield,". The lady of /the
house, who is steeped in bind lore,
told her that they'd been .singing.
since February 15, And: that Ali
lest week, the male cardinal had
allowed the female on the feeding
board---e sure sign of the err ating
season,
The woodpeckers and the chick-
adees have been singing for two
weeks.
-The first crow was sighted here
on February 17 which is 0. little
early, Mrs. J. E. Howard usually
looks for them about the 19th of
February,
On -Sunday when out walking,
Mrs, J. E, Howard and Mrs,
Blair noticed a number of song
sparrows flitting about quite ac-
tively in the cedars. They do not
migrate. but - only come out on
mild days.
By and large the birds have
been doing very well with all the
feeding stations in Bayfield.
H. H. Ormond reports that in
the flock of evening grosbeaks
which frequent his station is one
beautiful bird which is banded.
George Little has had ten card-
inals feeding at his place recently.
Two weeks -ago Mrs, Malcolm
Toms counted eight cardinals and
of course the blue jays flashing
about where the sunflower seeds
are most abundant, scream their
news of weather changes. But it
all points to an early spring - it
is hoped!

Parr Line Farm
Forum
(By our Hensall Correspondent)
The Parr Line Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross
Love with the topic for discussion,
"The Farm Organization Story in
College".
Question 1 - Many people feel
that college graduates have no un-
derstanding of the function of
farm organizations. Do you believe
this to be true? Is lack of this
knowledge a serious handicap in
working with farm people? An-
swer-Yes, most college graduates
are not familiar with farm organ-
izations. It is a handicap if the
graduate is dealing or working
with farm organizations in his
career, Farmers who must earn
a living by farming and also serve
farm organizations, while doing as
good a job as possible cannot put
the time into their organization
that is required. Boards will have
to hire the best trained men they
can to run their affairs.
Question 2-Do you -think that
college graduates working in agri-
culture should be able to obtain
short courses in farm organization
? Should they obtain this
before graduation? Answer-Yes,
college graduates should be able
to obtain short courses in farm
organization policies. These cours-
es could be taken as a subject in
the Farm Economics Option.

Government appointed board. Un-
der this arrangement a bushel of
wheat will purchase less for the
Canadian producer than any otne
er bushel of wheat in the world,
In spite of these recognized facts
our Ontario Government Ueems
determined to impose the same
type of selling egency for our On-
tario Hogs in particular and pav-
ing the way for this method in all
farm products. If Bill 86 is pas-
sed in its present form it will be
possible for the Ontario Govern-
ment to take aver any Producer

With the period January
through March for deficiency pay-
Ments on eggsejust about up we
can' make some observations. The
present weighted market price
for • eggs in Canada Grade AEL
and AL is 21.8 as of March 11.
This is an increase of two cents
over the previous week. This will
probably mean that there will be
a much smaller deficiency pay-
ment than was expected. In our
own case, With a flock of about
275 hens, we will probably encl .-up
with an average price for the A
large sizes of 35 or 36 cents.
From this we might conclude that
there will be a . little profit but
from the production of 275 hens
we certainly will not be able to
buy many groceries.

Mr. Harkness, Minister of Agri-
culture, made a nice comparison
at the CFA Annual meeting when
he gave the prices of butter in
several countries. From these
figures he was able to conclude
that Canadian Cream producers
were getting the highest price in
the world for their butter. Let's
look at it another way.
Recently I was told that a
Volkswagen car selling for -$1,-!
800 in Canada could be purchased
in West Germany for $1,100.00.
Related to the butter prices it
would take 2,812 pounds of but-
ter to purchase the ear -in Canada
bat only 1,762 pounds of butter
to purehaSe the same car in Welt
Germany. On this basis Canad-
ian butter is only wofth 40 cents
a pound.
Wheat prices would also fare
badly under similar comparison
yet this product is sold under a
