AT PEACE
WITH OUR NEIGHBORS
Last week Hon. Cordell Hull, Sec
retary of State for the United States,
was the guest of the Governor-Gen
eral of Canada. His visit to Canada
at this particular time brings to mind
that on the thousands of miles of
border line between Canada and the
United States there are no defense
preparations and that neither country
has a system of forts or a standing
army along its borders to protect one
against the other, What a happy re
lationship this is. Compare this con
dition with the distrust the nations
of Europe apparently have for each
other. There the peoples are heavily
.taxed so that large armies are ever
■ready for duty and the border lines
•of all the countries are heavily forti
fied from one end to the other.
It surely is a
l>e at peace with

EAST MEETS WEST
The response this year throughout
Eastern Canada for ‘food for the
■drought areas of the West, is a won
derful thing. It is expected that near
ly 800 carloads will be shipped to the
dried-out areas of Saskatchewan. This
practical demonstration of “Love thy
neighbor” should do much to cement
the' friendship of the people of West
ern and Eastern Canada.
In the dried-out areas of the West
the people have had a very hard time
for these past few years. How they
•can continue to retain that optimism
which always seems to prevail in the
West is difficult -to comprehend. The
large shipments this year of food pro
ducts from the East should be of
•great, assistance to them and should
lielp any who are losing faith in their
fellow man to restore that confidence.
‘The goods shipped West ar’e dis
tributed by a Joint Committee of the
Churches for Western Relief. This
committee have a difficult task. The
distribution will entail a tremendous
amount of work and organization but
the great effort it will take will be
•done cheerfully and with care. The
fact that their countrymen and wo
men of the East have shown their

Canadian Eggs to Britain
Exports of Canadian eggs to Great
Britain inf the export season which
started recently are expected to ag
gregate in the neighborhood of one
and one-quarter million dozen. The
export season extends from the mid
dle of September to the latter part
of November and at the end of Sep
tember about 9,000 Cases—3,240,000
eggs—had gone forward.
The export trade at this season is
made up of eggs laid in the spring
which are held under Refrigeration

Manitoba and Ontario are the chief
exporting provinces, with Quebec
and Alberta, making smaller ship
ments. -*

Storing Vegetables; i
Keeping vegetables from the home
garden for winter use is one‘way to
save; those who have no gardens still
save by buying fruits and vegetables
at relatively lower prices in the fall
and keeping them for later use when
prices are higher.
Good vegetables can be kept in
good condition for a long time with
the proper temperature and the right
degree of humidity or moisture in the
air. With few exceptions, vegetables
keep best at a temperature of about
32 degrees Fahrenheit. ‘Root crops
and leafy vegetables require a high
degree of humidity.
The best storage- conditions for the
vegetables comnioWy stored may be
summarized as follows:
Cool and' moist: Beets, carrots,
parsnips, salsify,. turnips, winter rad
ishes and celery.
Cool and moderately moist: Cab
bage and potatoes. The atmosphere
should be- moist, but not enough to
allow accumulation of water in drops
•Upon the' stored product.
Cool and dry: Onions and dry
beans. *
Warm ahd dry: Squashes, pump
kins and sweet potatoes.
A dirt floor usually provides more
moisture in the air than a concrete
cellar floor, ahd sprinkling the cellar
floor helps to provide enough mois
ture in many cellars. • Before storing
vegetables, sort out carefully and dis
card any that are diseased or bruised.
Fall Fertilizing, of Pastures
The value of the application of fer
tilizers in' the fall to pastures and
alfalfa, and particularly to permanent
pastures, is becoming mpre generally
recognized. The fertilizers used for
this.purpose, being composed of phos
phates and potashes, dd not leech
from winter snows and rains, and the
plant food they supply is ready to
give the desired results with the first
growth in the spring. Further, the
fall application is a saving of time in
the spring when so many other farm
operations demand attention, The
application' may be made either be
fore or after the freeze up.
The specialy balanced fertilizers
The busybodies who are always
wanting to tax something which has
not been taxed before (and of course,
something which they have not got)
are now suggesting a tax on peram
bulators. ’
If anything, more is heard of this,

Poor Seed Crops
As a result of the extreme dryness
in the summer of 1936 and the lack
of sufficient snow cover last winter,
the 1937 clover seed crofts in Canada
are the poorest in many years. In
fact, total failures are reporter over
.large areas of Ontario and Quebec
which normally produce large quan
tities of clover seed. This is partie-
utarly true of atsike in Ontario and
ted clover in Quebec, For Canada as
a whole, the red clover seed produc
tion is not expected to exceed 10%
of normab while alsike will be even
‘less.
