Strothers, "Essex should be in a

tion of the Canadian seed corn trade

A Beal. Opportunity.
Some idea of the opportunity for
Ontario farmers to develop the ex-
port trade.in hog and pork products
is afforded by official figures with
respect to dead Wheat imports into
Great Britain. For the first ten
months of 1930, bacon imports had
reached a total of 7,414,020 cwt.,
valued at £34,922,063, and of this
volume Canada supplied only 87,=
109 cwt., which had a value of
£433;955. During the same period
imports of hams totalled 865,035
c'f 'which the United States supplied
715,352 cwt., or more than ten times
the 70,968 cwt., supplied by Canada.
These were the only two in a long
list of dead meat imports in which
the Canadian contribution was large
enough to list separately.

•
Rural Hydro. e.'hi :'(vs
•
Latest available figures show a
total. of 7,100 miles of rural hydro
lines in Ontario and it is proposed
to add almost'2,000 more during the
coming year. Reduction in rates
has had a lot to do with the recent
rapid growth. Nearly every county
now has hydro in the rural districts.
Theaverage cost for current to light
the house and barn and run ordin-
ary toasters, washing machines and
irons, is about $5.00 per month.
It runs considerably higher where a
motor and a stove are operated. In
addition to providing needed con-
veniences, the development of rural
hydro 'is expected to prove one . of
.tlh biggest factors in improving farm
conditions in Ontario in the future.
Manitoulin Turkeys ,
During. the month of December
ever 8,00.0„ turkeys were shipped
froth 'Manitoulin Island to different
parts of Canada and the United
States. The average weight of these
birds was about 20 pounds, which
speaks highly for the quality of pro-
duction there. It is worthy of note
that the turkey -was introduced into
the island for the purpose of cheek-
ing a plague of grasshoppers, which
it did effectively. The . 'farmers
were not- slow, however, to see. that
there was molly in turkeys and from
a sideline they have become a, lead-
ing industry of the island
0. A. C. Exhibits
:Warm' tribute has been paid to
the 0,A.C. by the International Live-
stock Exposition officialfor the ex-
cellent character of the College's ex-
hibit at tho recent shows in Chicago.
During the last four years a series
of four educational exhibits have
bong placed at the International by
0. A. 'C. 'The first one referred to
the use of legumes in erop rotations;
the second to the development and.
usefulness• of the Canadian type of
bacon ,hog, the third to Canadian
lamb, and the fourth to Hardy Al-
falfa. These exhibits have not only
been of outstanding value at the big
exposition,. but have also bpen a
splendid medium of advertising for
Ontario products. The college IS to
be congratulated on its very useful
work in this connection.
• .xperiinentai Union Gathering
Prominent agriculturists from all
parts of Ontario were in attendance
at a banquet given last week in con-
nection with the 82nd annual meet
fug of the Ontario .Agriouttlral and
:xpeirinental Union at O. A. C.
`Praising the wonderful work car-
ried on by the Union, Hon, Thomas
L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture,
issued a strong appeal to the young
men of Ontario to stay on the farms
and be proud .ef their calling4 Dr:,
Archibald, .director of the Ontario
Experimental Farah at Ottawa, and
Mr. J, B. Fairbairn, Deputy lllinis-
tor of Agriculture, also delivered ad-
dress.. A strain of optimism paved -
'ed the address of Mr. D, G. Gibson,
of Caledonia, president of the Union
wsho in referring to prevailing un-.
.satisfactory conditions in the farm-
ing industry, declared that' farmers
should ibe in no way discouraged as
similiar conditions, have existed be-
fore. "History repeats its self," he
said. "The past is -a, guarantee of
the future.- And Just an an era 'of
prosperity followed the serious de-
pression •of 35 years ago, so there
will .come in the near future better
tithes for the farmer as well as for
others."
Experimental Work
At the Experimental Union gath-
ering in Guelph last week, the se-
cretary, Prof W. J. Squirrels, report-
ed that material had been distri-
buted in 1930 for a total of 48 co-
operative experimental projects
which covered practically all of the
cultivated crops of Ontario. The
work was entirely voluntary on the
part of the experimenters, this con-
stituting a big factor in the success
achieved, President Gibson stressed
the value of the co-operative experi-
ments in enabling the farmer in his
particular locality to decide what,
variety is best for the soil. "Success-
ful farming," he declared, "depends
on successful crop growing. But
that is only half the story. Live-
stock should interlock with crop pro-
duction, and Ontario farmers must
include good livestock in their busi-
ness in order to be prosperbus."
Advice to Dairymen

wall last week. He urged herd own-
ers to keep only profitable stock, us-

He felt that consumers 'should be
critical and demand the best.
Short Corses Prove Popular
The three month course in agri-
cultural and home economics which
opened en Deceiivber last are proving
quite popular in their respective
communities. Eight such courses
are being held by the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture in as many
different counties, namely: Bruise,
I actings, Linc011i, Middlesex, Nor-
folk, Waterloo, Wentworth and York
An average of 38 young, inen were
enrolled in' the. courses in agricul-
ture and 28 young • women in home
economies courses during the month
of December, In addition to these,
34 one-month courses are being stag-
ed in as many different counties or
districts by the agricultural repre-
sentatives'during the months •of Jan-
ttary and February. Short courses
in agriculture were first instituted
in 1912'. 'Since that time 638
month's courses in agriculture have
been held with . an attendance of 17,-
852. This is an average of over 03
per. year with an average attendetce
of 28. The first three -months'
courses in agriettlture and home
,economics were staged in .1921.2.
Since then 71 such courses have been
organized With a total attendance of
2748 boys and ;3080 girls.

Keeps Poultry Free fromWORMS
Mr. Wm. Jarrott, of Brigden, wrote us a year ago stating that his poultry had
become badly infected with worms. We advised him to use 2 lbs. of Royal Purple
Poultry Specific in each 100. lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue
throughout the Winter with 1 lb. After using it for three weeks he wrote us stating
that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro-
duction had gone up 100%. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months he pur-
chased. 600 lbs. of .this Poultry Specific. 'We received a letter from him the latter
part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry
were entirely free from worms, and that .during August of this year his production
was 100% larger than last year.
It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or if he mires his
own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds
of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de-
stroys the worms, it at the, same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive
organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling there to take from 15%
to 20% more good from the feed they eat. This is naturally reflected in increased
egg production.
Worths to poultry is often mistaken far other diseases. The, birds become very '
thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea. . Wheri badly infested they will die.

said. "The past is -a, guarantee of
the future.- And Just an an era 'of
prosperity followed the serious de-

others."
Experimental Work
At the Experimental Union gath-
ering in Guelph last week, the se-
cretary, Prof W. J. Squirrels, report-
ed that material had been distri-
buted in 1930 for a total of 48 co-
operative experimental projects
which covered practically all of the
cultivated crops of Ontario. The
work was entirely voluntary on the
part of the experimenters, this con-
stituting a big factor in the success
achieved, President Gibson stressed
the value of the co-operative experi-
ments in enabling the farmer in his
particular locality to decide what,
variety is best for the soil. "Success-
ful farming," he declared, "depends
on successful crop growing. But
that is only half the story. Live-
stock should interlock with crop pro-
duction, and Ontario farmers must
include good livestock in their busi-
ness in order to be prosperbus."

Eastern Ontario Dairymen .at Corn-
wall last week. He urged herd own-
ers to keep only profitable stock, us-
ing the scales and Babcock test to
eliminate "boarders" from their
herds. He pointed out that the
