News and Information For the Busy Farmer • Plan Speaking Contest As a special feature in connection with the club contests to be conduct­ ed' at the Royal Winter Fair next November, a public speaking cotnest was planned at a meeting of the Ex­ ecutive Committee of the Canadian Council on Boys* and Girl’s - Club W. This public speaking contests will be open to boys who are members of organized junior clubs. The age limits are from 18 to 20 years inclus­ ive. The number of contestants is limited to one from each province. The subject matter of each address is to be related to the opportunity or position of youth in agriculture, with some reference to club work. The contest will be conducted under the direction of the Canadian Council. It is intended to expand and im­ prove the display of club exhibits of seed grain and potatoes. Corn classes are being provided this year for the first time. The regular club project contests will be conducted in much the same manner as in 1935 and the same six projects will be included— dairy cattle, beef cattle, poultry, seed grain and seed potatoes. Seed Selection Important While Canada as a whole will har­ vest a light grain crop this year, fortunately there are normal crops throughout the Maritime Provinces, in Quebec .and in certain areas of the other provinces. However, these crops will scarcely offset the shortages 'which exsist in other parts of the country. By judicious planning even a light crop may be used so advantageously that no serious inconveniences will be entailed .In so plannig first thought must be given to the seed supply for the following year, he ex­ plained. Indeed, seed supply is the prime consideration, whether the crop be light or abundant. Wli*en, as in 1936, the bulk of grain from which seed is to be selected is much less than normal, the matter of seed selec­ tion is paramount and should receive the early and careful consideration of farmers. Some crops harvested may be al­ most entirely unfit for seed owing to lack of weight or because of injury to germination through weathering, but on most Canadian farms, at least part of the grain harvested will be of'a quality fit for seed, if properly cleaned and graded. Farmers who take stock of their grain supply soon after harvest and reserve, wherever possible, a portion of the best quality of their wheat, oat&> barley or other grain for seed next year will not only benefit them­ selves, but will perform a valued pub­ lic service. Threshing—An Important Phase of Crop Production Threshing is one of the most im­ portant operations in crop production. The product of a whole year’s labour is handled several times by the thresh­ ing crew, and in less than one minute from the time the sheaves are deliver­ ed into the feeder the grain is thresh­ ed from the heads, separated, cleaned, weighed anddelivered into the bags or granary. It can, therefore, be seen that the responsibility of the thresher is very great ■ • ■ Considerable experience is neces­ sary in order to operate a machine successfully when threshing the var­ ious crops and under the constantly varying conditions .that are met with. It is very important that the thresh­ er possess a knowledge of the prin­ ciples, operation and adjustment of the machine, a well set machine run­ ning at correct speed, a cylinder and concaves with a full set- of straight new teeth. Concaves, chaffer, sieves and wind blast should be properly adjusted. A weed screen the width of the <hoe and as long as it will per­ mit together with steady even feed­ ing are important factors in im­ proving the efficiency of the thresh­ ing machine and the quality of work being done. A registered, well equipped, clean threshing outfit is an indication to the farmer that the operator is inter­ ested and efficient and should lead to more business, revenue and profits. The co-operation of every thresher is solicited irt improving this import­ ant phase of crop production and in helping to place it on a more profit­ able basis, Plowing Match Plans Further definite indications that the 24th annual International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery demon­ stration to be held at Cornwall, Ont., from Oct. 6 to 9 was to be “the big­ gest and best ever” were received this week by J. A. Carroll, Secretary-Man­ ager of the Ontario Plowmen’s As­ sociation, in the form of an unpre­ cedented number of applications for exhibition space -m the concession area. "This year’s 'Tented City’, as the area is always known," stated Mr. Carroll, "will house the largest and most complete exhibition of farm im­ plements and equipment that has ev­ er been assembled in Canada.” He said that the committee had found it necessary to revise the ground plan for the "Tented City” so that it could readily be expanded to accommodate the many exhibitors who were applying for space. More than 30 industrial and agricultural or­ ganizations had been granted conces­ sions, Mr. Carroll stated, as well as a great many to concessionaires whose chief concern would be to see that the vast throng of 100,000 per­ sons who will attend the match are well-fed. Of the many new features being in­ troduced at this year’s match which are expected to attract wide interest and attention, Mr. Carroll remarked, are the demonstrations to be given by ex-champion plowmen and Dr. E. S. Hopkins, chief of field, husbandry for the Dominion Department of Ag­ riculture. x The plow demonstration by exper­ ienced match plowmen and capable demonstrators, will be conducted each day near the match headquarters. Differences between types of plows will be explained and plow settings will be discussed and actually demon­ strated . This year will be the first time this feature has been included on the program of the International Match, Mr. Carroll pointed out. Land will be provided at a con­ venient location on which manufac­ turers will demonstrate agricultural implements of every description and the “exercise paddock” for high-spir­ ited but controllable tractors will again be a feature of interest. Multiple-hitch demonstrations, con­ sisting of three to five horses work­ ing in one team, properly hitched and. driven, will be given each afternoon and the different operations exhibited by competent experts. Maple Sugar and Syrup Canada’s maple trees are estimat­ ed to have yielded maple syrup and maple sugar to the value of $3,713,781 during the 1936 season, an increase of 5.4 per cent, over 1935. The pro­ duction of maple syrup is placed at 2,022,719 gallons valued at $2,655,719 and the output of maple sugar is es­ timated at 9,231,803 pounds valued at $1,058,062. In 1935 the production of maple syrup was 2,250,769 gallons valued at $2,782,275, while maple sug­ ar production amounted to 6,538,960 pounds valued at $740,145. The 1936 season was. not quite so favourable as in 1935 in the Maritime Provinces and Ontario because of unusual wea­ ther conditions with very little frost in the ground and few night frosts, although in some districts of Ontario there was a good run of sap, with syrup of excellent quality.

An accident is a monkey-wrench thrown into delicate­ ly-adjusted works. In life’s first half organs and el­ ements are at their best, except for hang-oveis of heredity which are like old parts put into new cars; the glory of young men. is their strength. Yet in this glowing first half germs make mass attacks, and gross infections be­ set, than can. destroy a machine ut­ terly or do life-enduring damage. Measles, whooping-cough, scarlet fev­ er, tuberculosis and all the colds and ’flus are rampant. By the second half, while most of these may have spent themselves, new ones wax as the others wane, pneu­ monic, bronchitic, cardiac, renal and rheumatic types. And older tissues may get a craze of untimely youth and growth and go on the rampage in a group of disease called cancer, the crab. In the second half also, whether specially damaged or not, the tissues begin to show signs—that is symptoms—of wearing out. It may be that some one organ gives special "trouble, and an oldish man will tell you he would be all right if he could only buy a few spare parts. Or the <jvhole mechanism may wear out fair­ ly equally, like the deacon’s one-boss shay, built in such a wonderful way that no part was stronger or weaker tlian any other; so, naturally, it went to pieces all at once, all at once and nothing first, just as bubbles do when they burst. And that was the end of the one-hoss-shay. One may come to the end in a full age, like a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Touchstone the clown ""had a good idea of the two halves of life. The melancholy Jaques, the crabbed phil­ osopher, thought “all the world’s a stage”, and dramatized man socially, "his acts being seven ages, at first the infant mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms”, and finally - “Last scene of all That ends this strange eventful his­ tory In second childishness and mere ob­ livion: Sans teeth ,sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.” The clown, thinking not of the soc­ ial actor but the physical man, saw two stages, development and decline. “And thus (first half) from hopr to hour we ripe and ripe; and then (se­ cond half) from hour to hour we rot and rot, and thereby hangs a tale.” When Pasteur found disease germs and the age of the microscope began; when Lister built on this foundation a new surgery, and men like Koch a new preventive medicine: and when these mysteries became popular know­ ledge, so that every housewife applied them hourly, death-rates were cut and life-spans lengthened almost as though we had at last eaten of the tree of life in the midst of the gar­ den. Surgeons think of the Fasten r- Lister-Koch new dawn as an incalcul­ able service to mankind through the new surgery; physicians as an almost greater service through new' princi­ ples learned about many diseases, their care and cure, But the greatest I of all was the increase in ■'iservice knowledge of disease prevention and and cure that came to ordinary peo­ ple, to mothers and teachers, house­ wives and city councillors, butchers and bakers ,and candle-stick makers. A good housewife today, without special instruction, but acting on what She knows and applies at home every day, could prepare a room for an op­ eration better than the best of sur­ geons or the best of nurses could have done it before Lister. This wider spread intelligence about the ways of disease and health (and of course it should be much wider) is the best suit of the new knowledge. The first infection-ridden half life has been indeed transformed the new knowledge, but the second half of life much less, except for the advantages of the new surgery. The average life-span may reach new heights each decade because infants do not die of summer diarrhoea, or children -of diphtheria, and yet the middle-aged have not gone on smoothly to Methusaleh ages, even when they ate what was put on their plates.
