Ice water, ears and dogs.
I can't think of anything' less con-
nected, biit that's what we're going
to talk about today. Ice water, cars and dogs.
Perhaps iii, a moment it will begin to make sense,
Especially if you have a pooch who comes tearing outafter
your year, or chases. every ear and truck that passes,
The dent clog makes a nuisance of himself, makes you
Jittery at, the wheel and is Iiable to get himself run over
any day.
Mere is a sure • fire cure, ,

Have someone- sit in the back seat with the window
rolled down on the side Fido usually 'chooses for his yapping.
As the dog starts tagging your tailpipe, the friend planted ht
the back seat leans out the window and douses Fido square
in the jaw with a bucket full of ice water. The colder the.
better (but with no ice in it , of course),
it may be an aWful shock, but it's harmless enough,
and is recommended by. a dog -loving friend of mine as a safe
but sure cure for car -chasing pooches.
. 'Course, there's a time when putting on a little clog
is just the right thing. There's nothing like the feel•of good,
sound, looks -like -new car to give you a feeling of safety and
siweness and satisfaction. With new, and used cars turning.
over so rapidly these -days, we have some of the inost•luxur-
t us cars of the last few years on our lot right now, And,
they've !mocked them right out of the luxury price class.
It's quite frue that luxury, if' you Want it, is available for
everyone these days. •

Leading' Agricultural Writers Say About

Sugar Bee
Globe and Mail, March 18,.1955
"RURAL ROUNDUP" BY EL'tON. STONEHOUSE
The .new sugar • beet con-
tract for "growers in South-
western Ontario is 'expected
to have it great influence on
crop •programs of farmers in
that part of the province this
season.
The 1955 'contract per-
- nits growers to plant . as
many acres of beets as they
wash, and guarantees othe
market price for all beets
based on sugar Content.
Tt is the first year that
these conditions have been
written into the contiaet dur-
ing, the 53 years of . ,beet
groiVing in Ontario.
The minimum for average
sugar. content, 17' per cent,
will be $12 a ton, an increase
over recent years. For 18 per
•cent beets the price will be.
$12.70.
Another factor likely to
eontriibute to '`a heavy beet
crop is the "fact that the
agreement calls for the mini-
mum price to be the initial
payment, which means farm-
ers will not• have to wait ,for
their money when the crop is
sold.
Later, of course; growers
will get additional payments
/nom the sale of .such 'by •
-
products as dried beet pulp
• and molasses. And when the
' sugiar is sold, if •sugar prices
have gone up, growers will
benefit from this increase.
Both processors' and grow=
ers- have" bagel the 'contract
as the best in the history of.

. ince

" . That Sugar beet contract with the guaranteed,
full payment looks much better against a background of cur-
rent .. . factors . . . " .
Farmer's Advocate and Canadian Countryman,
April • 9, 1955
Editorial,:
The Sugar ',Company in
Western Ontario declares,
and growers agree, that 'the
195$ sttgar beet cOntMct is
a good one from the produc-
er's point of view. A satis-
factory minimum price ($12
per ton With 17 per cent
sugar content) and full
grower participation in the
sale of sugar and all by-
products creates a partner-
ship without parallel in the
marketing of farm products.

SIGN YOUR SUGAR BEET CONTRACT
WITHOUT DELAY
•
With this happy agreement
consttmated, the Canada and
Dominion Sugar COmpany
has set out td'- eontract forty
thousand acres or bust, and
there is no good reason why
this modest 'objective should
not be reached ,
Beets have paid oft a great
ii ny itortgag•es ,,and, if
given 'a eha,nee, they will con-
tinue to bolster up the farm
income. In the 1065 contrn.ct
and in. the erOp itself there
are real opportunities.

Pea Acreage

The largest acreage of peas in

Manager H. K. Penhale said this
week.
• Although the company declines
to state total • acreage, Mr. Pen-
hale said it is 200 to 300 acres
more• than last year,
The eompany's-scheduled
planting started Wednesday of
last week, and will spread over a
20 -day period. This method, in-
troduced two years ago, helps to
extend the harvesting period.
Mr. Penhale said the company

Earth
By D. I. HOOPER
Changes Can Be Made?
. With the mild Easter weather
many farmers are getting along
with the seeding and at the end
of the day come in tired and bone
weary. After supper • they stili
leave approximately two hours of
hare, labour or drudging in the
form of "barn chores". .
It was suggested -by a farm
engineer in a magazine article
we were reading the other day
"that the time to plan the re-
modelling of your stable is in the
spring",
-That's the time when minutes
are precious as hours, and after
a long day in fields a couple of
hours chores looms larger than
the whole day on the tractor.
- The • idea sounded common
sense to us. In order to change
the stable plan in most barns it
will be found necessary to do
some "jacking". At no other time
of the year will it be possible to
do this job so easily—the mows
are as empty as they ever will
be. Also he suggested, that if
you had to obtain the services of
a• cement contractor, the odds
were with •you on getting the job
finished in time for the cement
to set before you put the hay in.
The other day we happened to
be talking to a man who spent
approximately $700 in cement
stablingin the form of horse and
cow stalls, water .bowls, etc,
Never have we seen a man . who
was more disgusted with Jiis in-
vestment. At the time he thought
that it was the only thing (and
admits it), tut now he is think-
ing of hiring a •strong, man with
a good sledgehammer. At best,
the chunks• of cement will retake
good fill for that hole in the
barnyard.
;For .years it has been recom-
mended by agricultural author-
ities, livestock is healthier if per-
mitted to 'take daily exercise.
Agricultural engineers recom-
mend that • before you finally
settle on a stable plan that you
investigate, -the advantages of
loose housing. To fist but a few—
low initial `cost, less labour to
feed and care for livestock and
greater flexibility.
It has also been suggested
that the sante capital investment
required to install the conven-
