It is important that there are no cracks or openings in the rear and end walls. They must be tight to grevent he entrance of cold and draughts. Banking with soil is helpful. In Western Canada, cov- ering the roof, rear, and end walls with straw is recommended by poultry authorities. Many poultrymen build a temporary fence four or five feet from the building and fill the enclos- IM•i•NII I 1•••••••••• tire with straw well tamped dows.

At Sept. 30, 1043, these degissits had grown to 54,085,- 000,000, Bank notes climber from $210,000,000 to $747,000,000, In four years our total trade jumped 167 per cent, and our national income from less titan five billions to something. around $9,000,000,000. * * * It may not be generally known yet, but farmers and other primary produc- ers can purchase lumber for new build- ings essential for storing grain or housing livestock at 10 per cent be- low current retail price through pay- ment of a subsidy by the Stability Corporation, a branch of the Wartime Prices tnd Trade Board. The subsidy is also payable to fishermen, co-oper- atives, unincorporated associations and in corporated farms. It also may be granted in assisting the restoration of essential business buildings when the proprietor is himself bearing the cost of rebuilding. The ruling says: "Any civilian purchasing lumber for use in assisting the primary production of essential foods is eligible ,for a con- sumer subsidy.'! • * * Here and there: One Norwegian tanker, of hundreds sailing for the United Nations, just crossed the At- lantic for the 45th time since the ou- break of war, carrying 300,000 tons (105,000,000 gallons) of oil across the ocean, enough for 100 „raids over Ger-. many of a thousand bombers each; and had never seen a U-boat. . . , the 1943 production of children's knit- ted underwear is expected to break all previous records with output of more than ten million garments and a con- tinuous flow to retailers; the board says diapers, for instance are up more than 30 per cent over 1941, and flan- nelette garments are far in excess of pre-war years. . . .

A recent week saw all-tiine slaughtering of tbout 192,000 hogs, greater by 1&,000 than any prev- ious week. The congested situation was not conned to Canada, but pre- vailed in the United States, too.
