PHIL OSIFER OF

By Harry J. Boyle
I
Patricia Ann went visiting one night
last week. Mrs. Phil wanted to take
A run into town to do some shopping
and I wanted to plead my point with
the rationing board about a new seed
drill, which they are undecided about
giving me. My cousin wanted us to
spend the time at her place . . our
yearly town party.
We didn't like the idea of having
Patricia Ann walk all over town after
ats and then have to visit up for a party
in town. There just didn't seem to
be any way out of it, so we decided
not to go. Mrs. Black who lives on a

on that occasion, She spent the
whole morning in packing and re-
packing the suitcase and picking out
the doll she wanted to take with her,
Between times she was reminding her
mother that we had soon better get
going. According to her, darkness
was liable to fall at noontime, She
wanted to be on her way as soon as
possible, .
Finally we were ready and she was
dancing around in the back seat of the
car in great glee, We pulled up to
Mrs. Blacks and she was the first one
out, I handed her out the suitcase
, . a tiny one, intended for the doll

That visit was last Wednesday.
Since then she has never stopped tell-
ing us of the wonders of that trip.
She slept in a big bed, just like ours.
She was a good girl, She had some
nice candies and Mrs. Black baked a
little cake for her and the -dolly. She
played with the pussy-cat and the dog
and she saw some of the grandest,
little thickens it was possible to be-
hold. She has enquired if 'e are
thinking of going to town again some
day. Staying with Mr. Black was a

Most stocks of food held in Can-

siderably lower as compared with the
same date a year ago, with the ex-
ception of meat-both` Canadian and
imported. For instance: cold storage
eggs on hand were less than half a
million dozen as compared with 6.8
million dozen last year; cheese held
by warehd'tises and dairy factories,
56,594,416 pounds, less by sixteen mil-

SHARP DECREASE IN .
1943 GRAIN CROP
Wheat production for 1943 is pre-
liminarily estimated at 296,250,000
bushels, or about half the 1942 crop
of 592,684,000 bushels. Production of
oats in 1943 is estimated at 499,609,-
000 bushels, a reduction of about 152,-
000,000 bushels from the yield of 651,-
954,000 bushels in 1942, The Pl'airie
Provinces produced 93,000,000 bushels
of oath less thatt Itt 1942.
The barley crop is placed at 222,-
655,000 bushels, width is about 36,-
500,000 bushels less than the 1942
crop. Western Canada accounted for
30,000,000 bushels of the total compar-
ative decrease, Rye production, esti-
mated at 8,478,000 bushels in 1943, is
only about one-third of the 1942 crop,
but the reduction is due more to the
sharp curtailment of acreage than to'
lower yield per acre.
Ontario and Quebec have made
relatively the poorest showing in the
production of coarse grains- in 1943,
particularly with respect to oats. The
two provinces in 1942 produced ap-
proximately 135,000,000 bushels of
oats, gut the first estimate for 1943
indicates a combined crop of about
only 75,000,00.0 bushels. Ontario is
also well down in the production of
barley with an indicated crop in 1943
of 6,417,000 bushels compared with
12,179,000 bushels harvested in 1942.
Ontario and Quebec are in a worse
position than in 1941 when the Dom-
inion Government introduced the

E. J. Skelton & Son
at West End Bridge-WALKERTON
in a. neat cottage suggested that
Patricia go up and spend the after-
noon and night with her. Now Mrs.
Black, a grandmother, is a grand old
soul who likes children. The kind
that wears an apron and always seems
to have a few candies and cookies for
you, when you call. I mean, at least
a child is never disappointed and you
can see all the children on our Con-
cession loiter on their way home from
school, when they go by her place in
the hopes that she'll hail them,
We asked the wee lady. She was
more than delighted and for the two
days previous to the one when we
were going to town she talked of
nothing else. At three and a half
years of age, she even worried about
whether she should wear the red dress
or the blue one. At six o'clock in
the morning she was banging the side
of the crib and wanting to be let out.
There was nothing else I could do but
to let the side of the crib down when
I went to the kitchen to light the
stove.
About ten minutes later she walked
out. She had her best dress on.
True the buttons were clone up a little
on the crooked side and her stockings
weren't exactly neat and she couldn't
get the buckles done up on her shoes.
She had her Spring bonnet on and she
was carrying a little suitcase. In the
suitcase she had another dress, her
nightie, her bathrobe and her little
bunny slippers. She was all set to
gd and stay with Mrs. Black.
I don't suppose that Mrs. Phil and
I ever seemed so slow to anyone in
our lives as we did to Patricia Ann
Warmth is an important factor in
egg production. Correlated with.
warmth is feeding and the time of
feeding. Nature has equipped poultry
with ample storage space which in-
cludes the crop, gizzard, and stomach.
The gizzard with its strong muscular
walls may be likened to a power-plant.
It generates heat in the !bird when the
crop is full of reserve feed. Thus the
bird is kept warm, while the feather%
keep the cold out. no the internal'
heat is dissipated during the night and
in the case of poultry not fed after
4 p,m. the store of fuel is exhausted‘
before the time it is most needed dur-
ing the coldest hours of the night in
the early morning.
Late feeding is a good system. An
example is quoted of a poultryman,
who with only a medium flock, was
able to maintain good egg production
by feeding late. He had no electric
light in the poultry house but the
birds came down to feed by the light
of a lantern. Late feeding of hard,
graids in conjunction with the use of
light in poultry houses stimulates.

For some time now the authorities
have been stressing the serious hous,-
big in St. John's, Nfld., as
a warning to troops who may be
posted in the area to dissuade rela-
tives from Joining them there unless
they have secured a. place to live in

creased from 30,000 to -50,000, and at

Another instance of the war forcing
us to overcome our .owri difficulties:
In rotary oil drilling operations in
Saskatchewan they had used as a,drill-
ing mud, "bentonite", now hard to ob-
tain from the States. A University of
Saskatchewan professor, W. G. Wor-
cester, developed the use of a substi-
tute clay "found in large quantities
around Estevan, nearby to the Bien-
fait lignite ,coal fields, and they're
using about 50 tons a week in drilling
operations now.

People oft-times get curious about
Canada's takings at the cash register,
Well, here are a few interesting facts:
Our national revenue for six months
from April. 1., 1943, to September 30,
1943, amounted to $1,292,546,903, an
increase of some $223 million over the
same period last year. Our pay-out
was $2,187,122,229, up $170 millions.
How do we, get this revenue dough?
Well, custom import duties accounted
for about $81 million; excise duties
another $67 millions; income tax and
excess profits nearly $795 millions;
post office department over $26 mil-
lions, etc. Our war expenditure in
that period was $1,624,458,052 alone.
Some dough - coining and going.

The fact that Italy declared war
against Germany now will have little
effect upon the situation in Canada
respecting enemy aliens, it is noted,
because scarcely half a dozen Italian
nationals are interned in the Domin-
ion at present. The Canadian govern-
ment, Prime Minister King said, is in
general agreement with the govern-
ments of the U.K., U.S.A. and U.S.S.
R, in their announcement with respect
to the declaration.

Agriculture Department notes:
Mainly because honey in northern
countries is gathered from clovers, it
is more wholesome for wintering bees
than honey from the south. Dande-
lion honey has proved fatal to bees.
Honey from hard maple or, from pyre
alfalfa, and honey from white golden-
rod, granulates so hard in the combs
that wintering bees are unable to use
it,. . . . . Weight of grain in a bin?
Sure, just first find' out the cubical
contents (by multiplying the length
by the depth by the breadth), and the
weight of one bushel of the particular
grain (32 quarts). As one cubic foot
measures almost 25 quarts, the weight
of one cubic foot will be 25/32nds of
the weight of one bushel. Thus one
bushel oats weighs 34 pounds. One
cubic foot of oats equals 25/32nds of
34 pounds, or 26% pounds.

The Ottawa Journal publishes some
interesting figures in connection with
