HCG PRODUCERS CAN I HOLD BRITISH MARKETS In connection with the Canadian bacon to be supplied to the British Ministry of Food up to 5,600,000 pounds weekly, or such additional quantities as may be available for export up to the limit needed, the Agricultural Supplies Board urged producers to combine quality with economical production. If a high standard of quality is maintained it will mean that Canadian bacon will be assured of an established place on the British market after the war is over. The Board emphasizes that pro ducers bear in mind that the sow and litter at farrowing and until weaning, require special care. Suit able farrowing quarters should be provided, particular attention being paid to see that they are - dry and free from drafts. Feeding should be carefully con sidered before and after farrowing; air'd sanitation is urged .to avoid in ternal parasites and other diseases. The litter should he guarded, against exposure.

COLD WEATHER HALTS , TURNIP SHIPMENT The cold snap brought a new.but temporary crimp in turnip ship ments from the district, which had just begin to return to normal after the freezing weather of a week ago. At that time waxing plants in the various Middlesex and Huron cen tres were at a standstill because the turnips could not be moved. By the first of the week waxing and ship ping activities had returned to nor mal. The American market *for district turnips is increasing continually, and whereas in the past local tur nips were being shipped only to more southern and eastern states, there is a large market for them, this year in Detroit. The killing fronts throughout the southern U. ■States is expected to be* an Impor tant factor in boosting exports to the American market. y.According’to’ the figure released by J. J. Johnston, federal fruit and vegetable inspector, the..number of turnips shipped from this district to date to the American, xharket al ready exceeds the totals for'- the whole of last year’s season, which closed at the end of April. With the present demand continuing, it is expected that turnip exports from tikis district will be more than doub led this year. 'I MRS.

HAZARDOUS ROWBOAT' TRW* BY SIX MEN OF GOBERICH SAVES ICE-CUTTING EQUIPMENT ■GODIERIICB — Six men made a hazardous trip in two row-boats 2 miles cut into Lake Huron to re cover an ice-cutting saw, gasoline engine, and other equipment, total value, $1,0'00, which had drifted with a northeast gale when the ice broke away from the shoreline dur ing the night. When 2Q-odd men engaged in the annual ice harvest reported for work at 8 o’clock Friday morning last, there was no ice or equipment to be seen — just a field of broken ice far out in the lake. 'Six men, Capt, Douglas Graham, Harvey Johnston, Frank AUiix and Carson Hoy, manned two rowboats and put into the lake. The weather was five below zero with a bitter easterly wind blowing but ice floes helped to keep the wa ter comparatively calm. The ice cutting equipment was sighted a piece of ice 25 feet square. A line was thrown over the engine, frozen in the ice and whole towed to shore by the men in the boats, which landed two miles down shore. » -Only oar power was used and the men were thankful it was thus, because rowing kept them warm. There was no ice-cutting that day. The cutting equipment was left tem porarily where it was landed. The men took the afternoon off to thaw out. The ice harvest will have to be transferred to a new location. Bert McDonald, Bruce Volland, on gas the SIGNS OF PROSPERITY — * Query and Reply J!

Swane, Dir ector, iScience Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, said that down through all history of the human race until very recent times, man has had an intermittent fear of a food shortage, of famine, and of starvation, the exception tions like the opotamia, the and the father of the family have so often expressed that dread in the ancient prayer: ‘‘Lord give us food to eat and clothing to wear.” ‘‘As recently as the late 18'9’0'’s, prominent scientific men were ex pressing the view that the world's population was increasing so rapid ly that by the 1930’s or thereabouts, there would be a world shortage of food. They appear to have been very much concerned about the fate of humanity, Actually in the 1930’s •men were sometimes saying that there was too -much wheat and fruit and meat, too much cotton and wool and rayon being produced. The reason these prophecies failed is not far to seek, During the last fifty years, scientific research has opened, many doors to increased produc tion. The ancient hope had been to make two blades grow where one . grew before. Now many blades are | been i made to grow where one »grew be- estimai fore and what is more important, it ( 8'3,2i21; Volunteers of America, is now possible in many cases to save that one blade of grass, from swift and merciless destruction by pests and disease. “Scientific agriculture is still en deavoring to increase those blades of grass, but the intent is now more clearly directed toward reducing the costs of production and improving the quality of the product; larger crops, finer quality lower costs, greater profits to’ the producer, and a lower price to the consumer — these are benefits which can be ob tained only through the result of scientific research and its wise ap plication to practical affairs.
