Too Much Silage Expert See Flo Future for Hemp Production Hemp, once u profitable crop Ip this country, and the lost its market limit'd that in the eari,\ Colonial days it took the product of acres of hemp to make the ropes necessary to outfit a single sailing vessel of any size. Now ships bring jute from India and this importation, due to Its much low­ er price, has driven hemp from the market to a large extent. In spite of this loss of market, glowing pictures of prosperity to he had from hemp growing are paintpd for farmers who have had no experience with the crop. Agents with something to sell have induced many farmers to attempt 'crops, but little hope of success is held out by Department of'Agricul­ ture officials, who point out that by no means is the genera) run of land Suitable for hemp production. Even If it were, there sfill remains the fact that the demand for hemp is more than filled by present sources, with the result that the prices are too low to make a crop an attractive proposh tlon financially for the grower.—Wash­ ington Star.

IS MAN'S STAFF RICE OR WHEAT Montreal, january-^RR^t carried from Briti 'll Guiana to Canada in Canadian National ships, is to the tropical colony what wheat is tc Canada, says the current issue oj the West India Committee Circular. The Circular gives some littl'e- known facts about ricQ and wheat. It claims that whether wheat or rice is the most important food grain pro­ duced in the world remains to be an open question; that Empire1, pro­ duction of rice far exceeds the Em­ pire production of wheat; that vice is the only/grain in which “the Em­ pire proportion of the world’s pro­ duction is commensurate with the area,'of the Empire in compari On with the world”; that less than 20 per -cent, of the world’s wheat ana 'barley, less than 15 per cent of its oats and very much less of its maize and rye are grown in the Empire; that export of rice from China is prohibited; that nobody knows the extent of China’s tremendous rice fields. Weekly Crop Report zThe continued mild weather in the first part of January made it pos­ sible for live stock to get plenty of outdoor exercise regularly and in most di tricts generally speaking all classes of .stock are in good condi­ tion. From Lincoln County comes the report that less grain and mors hay are being fed to the average farm herd than in the past, thus re­ ducing the cost of feeding to a con eiderable extent. In Lincoln, also production of milk is being wel1 maintained. There is a gratifying tendency toward weeding out low- testing and low-producing cows m ’many herds which are supplying milk for city or town trade. From Huron County comes word of a fair­ ly good demand for poultry with prices firm for best quality milk-fed •birds. The mild weather has re­ sulted in the heaving of clovers in many districts. As a resit of scarcity of feed in Glengarry County, live stock is somewhat thinner than usual at this time of year and on a r great anany farms hay and straw will be about all used up in another few weeks. Down in Leeds County a T. B. testing program has been un- derway with slightly more than hall the county now completed and show­ ing less, than 3 per cent, reactors Advice from Renfrew states that good quality hay is finding plenty of demand at $13.00 per ton baled and delivered. Renfrew also has an ex­ cellent supply of registered and No 1 seed of practically all varieties. Good Dairy Cow Ration are fed in ad-roots roots are available added at the rate of three of the mixed available supply of Hulless Oats Interest in hulless oats continues to grow in Ontario according tc speakers at the recent meeting of the Experimental Union at Guelph Enquiries from all over the Province came into the authorities at Guelph during the past twelve months Though they decline to recqmmend hulless oats for general purposes) mmbers of the Field Husbandry staff of the Ontario Agricultura’ College agree that this grain pro­ duce an excellent feed for young live stock and poultry. In recem years more and more farmers, par­ ticularly dairymen and poultry keep­ ers are making a practice of grow­ ing a few acres of the hulle s oat: just for the chickens and calves Lacking the objectionable and Jome- times dangerous hulls, these oats can be fed safely either whole or grounc and remarkable gains are reported For some years a group of Haldi­ mand County farmers under the di­ rection of L. B. Mehlenbacher of Cayuga, have been developing a special '.election of Liberty Hulless oats. The seed was originally se­ cured from the Experimental Farm authorities at Ottawa and gradually spread, over several farms around Cayuga. As a result of careful cleaning, the ■ eed each yea-r has been brought up to tHe higher govern­ ment grades. In normal years the Liberty Hulless in Haldimand ha: been found to exceed the yield oi ordinary oats, returns up to. 40 bus per acre, weighing close to 5 0 lbs to the bushel, being reported. When it i1' considered that tlie ordinary oat is .made up of 20 per cent, hul1 and this hull has a- feeding value only equal to straw, still more weigh* must be given the argument for the hulless. During the past season the oat crop in Western Ontario, war one of the poorest in years and th» Liberty Hulless along with the other varieties suffered. As a re­ sult, the expectations of the hulless grower1-) in Haldimand to produce a large fulfilled surplus Iguassu Falls One of t Wonders of the World The Iguassu falls of Brazil are said to be the most wonderful in the world. In the Wide World Magazine burton writes: “Half a mile vast mass of water seemed forth from the sky. Tt was which, after wandering quietly through the forests of Brazil, had come at length to the edge of a great plateau. There it girds itself for a grand cli­ max to its career—a climax so spectac­ ular that no one who sees can ever forget that this river surpasses all others in the sublime beauty of its passing, leaving behind one of the wonders of the world. With one mighty charge along a front 10,000 feet in length it hurls over the brink, in superb 200 foot cataracts of foam. Niagara may have greater volume, Victoria greater height, but for artistry and coloring Iguassu stands alone.” Historic Eastern Spot Shimoda, on the eastern coast of the Izu peninsula, came into the American spotlight in the middle of the |ast century, when a treaty was ratified there which first opened Ja­ pan to foreign trade. In 1853 Capt. Matthew Galbraith Perry, United States navy, sailed up the bay of Sagami to Shimoda, went ashore with 300 men and delivered letters from President Fillmore to a representative of the Japanese em­ peror. In the spring of 1855 the first treaty between America and Japan, providing, among other things, for the opening of Shimoda to American trad­ ing vessels, was proclaimed. America’s first diplomatic repre­ sentative to Japan resided at Shimoda.

FUR TRADING FOR CASH TAKES PLAGE OF BARTER .Montreal, January,—With the ending of the fox pelt season in the Maritimes this month a striking con­ tract is made between fur sales in the early days and as carried on to­ day. At the beginning of the fur trade, the Indian traded his skins for beads, knives, tomahawks; and later on, rifles, amunition and -up- plies1 were added to the barter. Then the white trapper came upon the scene and he traded for money and supplies. The trapper, in some re­ mote districts, still carries on as his predecessors’ did' but in the more settled parts o,f the country the trade in certain furs has become more domesticated and today fur farming is conducted on an extensive scale. Ranches where black foxes' and other fur-bearing animals are bred for their skins dot the landscape In many parts of Canada and the In­ dustry is in a highly commercialized basis, according to the Natural Re­ sources Department of the Canadian National Railways. .

The new guarantee, planned io re­ move all contentious possibilitie1 warrants tires used in private pas­ senger car service for 9 months or 12 months, depending on the type of tire, and a guarantee certificate accompanies) each tire. All road hazards, excepting punc­ tures and running flat, are covered by the new guarantee and provision is made for a satisfactory repair or a pro rata adjustment based on the term of the guarantee. It will be seen that under this new warranty allowances will be made for such in­ juries as blow-outs, cuts, bruises rim cuts .under inflation, wheels out of line, faulty brakes, etc., not pre­ viously covered by tire guarantee--' This is a new and definite advan­ tage to the tire user. Dealers are now selling tires un­ der the new guarantee and ./motorist? are warned that a certificate should be obtained with each new tire. The new guarantee covers, ah-o tires sold as equipment on new passenger cars to be used in private service. Leading tire manufacturers believe the new warranty will result in more- satisfactory automobile service through the elimination of disputes and the broadened coverage of the warranty. r A ration for a cow in milk that supplies about fifteen pounds of pea and oat hay per day and crushed oats) and barley, one .pound to each three pounds of milk, is about a .bal­ anced ration if dition.

LUCAN RESIDENTS MARRIED IN 1883 a beauti­ ful maiden by sending her over Niag­ ara fall* In a canoe was practiced by the Indian tribes about the falls. The maiden selected paddled a white canoe, filled with fruits and flowers, over the falls. It was counted a great honor t* be chosen a* the sacrificial victim. Qnce the only daughter of a Seneca Chief was selected by the gathered tribes. Her father loved her dearly, yet he shewed no sign of grief. The revels continued during the whole day, and when night came and the moon rose the girl paddled her canoe to­ ward; the falls, amidst much tumult . and shouting. Suddenly another white canoe darted from the opposite bank. It contained the chief, her father; the canoe* met, and together they went to their death over the falls. Organization Needed “The need of the hour to the fruit and vegetable industry of Ontario is organization of the growers and co-operation between the growers jobbers and shippers of this pro­ vince,” said W.

They were united in marriage by the late Rev. T‘. A. Ma- gahy, then rector of Holy Trinity Church, Lucan. The first 25 years of their married life was spent on the groom’s' farm in Biddulph. Later they retired and moved to Lucan where Mr. Abbott carried on a whole­ sale poultry business for over 20 years. Mrs. Abbott’s maiden name was Katherine A. Sadler.
