GROWING MASH
LARGE EGGS
I
Your pullets need real growth if they are to
be in tip-top shape next fall to produce
large eggs early, during the high price
season, and keep on laying steadily.
To get that real growth the. pullets must be
fed a good balanced ration. It is not good
enough to raise pullets just on ppsture and
grain. They will not . lay as many eggs
during the following year — nor will they
produce large eggs as early as balance-led.
SHUR-GAIN Growing Mash is fully tested under
Canadian farm conditions. It is manufactured local-
ly, eliminating freight costs and middleman profits,
and sold directly to the consumer.

Patience Is a Virtue
If ever there was a person who must
"be patient," it is the farmer, From
the clay that he is born, until the day
that he is laid away, the farmer prac-
tices being patient, for farming is not
something that can be hurried. You
have to take your time, take things
as they come, and there is little that
can be done to speed up nature and
her process of development and re-
production. More than anyone else in
the world has to be a "patient" man.
May we quote a few examples.
You have to be patient with the
weatherman. You may not like the
kind of weather that he provides but
what can you do about it? The man
in industry, usually has his business
indoors, under a roof and come rain
or shine his business goes on as usual,
When it rains the storekeeper and
the blacksmith make a killing, for
more and more people do business,
with them. But bad weather brings
only grunts of disapproval from the
farmer who has no other alternative.
He can't do anything about the weath-
er but wait 'til it improves, and about
the only pleasure he can get out of
the situation is to express his disgust
and disapproval.
The farmer plants his seed in the
spring and he has to wait patiently
till it shows through the ground be-
fore he knows whether it got a good
start, Like the old saying that a
"watched pot never boils," a watched
field seemed to take longer to grow,
although it jiist seems that way. The
farmer has to be patient through the
process of growth and ripening, before
he can get at the harvest. He takes
this when it comes, and there is no
hurrying, no delaying it. Patience, is
his constant companion.
The farmer waits for the balky
horse to make up his mind to start
again. He waits for the cow to give
down her milk. He waits for the pul-
lets to start laying, and the hogs to
make pigs of themselves.
He has to be patient with the mar-
ket prices, take the bitter with the
sweet. He is a patient listener to all
the so-called experts and some times
he is prone to wonder which is right,
which is wrong. Eventually he ends up
patiently listening to them all to try
and sort out the grain from the chaff,
the sheep from the goats.
You'll never make a successful far-
mer or farmer's wife, if you haven't
learned to practice the art of patience.
Patience must be-your constant com-
panion. It may seem like a slow, ted-
ious life to some people, but there is
one coiisolation, It gives you time to
think. In this world of hustle and
bustle, What we need more than any-
thing else are a few more people who
have time and patience to sit down
and think. The farmer is in a good
position to do just that.
Generally speaking, if you were to
walk into a farmer'' barn some time,
unawares and surprise him at his
chores, you would probably find him
talking away quite briskly about the
problems of yesterday and today.
Don't express the fear that he is men-
tally unbalanced. Most farmers work
alone and most farmers work cut
their pros and cons alone, It offers
the world's greatest opportunity to
think, plan and be patient.
ST. HELENS
Tells W. L Of Northern Indians
Rev. H. L, Jennings of Lucknow,
was the guest speaker at the meeting
of the Women's Institute held at the
home of Mrs. Gordon MacPherson.
Mr. Jennings gave an intimate sketch
of his impressions during 5 years spent
as a missionary to the Indians in the
North West territories at Fort Nor-
man just 100 miles south of the Arctic
Circle. After his address which proved
most interesting and informative, Mr.
Jennings showed some moccasins,
gloves and parkas, many of them
decorated with beautiful needlework
and beadwork by the Indians.
Mrs. Jas. Curran presided and the
roll call, responded to by the 24 ladies
present, was "Something My Mother
Taught Me." Mrs. Andrew Gaunt read
favourite verses from St. John's Gos-
pel. Letters of thanks read by the Nee-
reary included one from a pupil of
Fordyce School, in which it was stated
they were using their gift from the
W. I, toward the purchase of instru-
ments for a 23 piece rhythm band,
Miss W. D. Rutherford gave a short
report of the short course held at Dun-
gannon on "What Makes a Good Of-
ficer." Mrs. Gaunt gave a reading
"What Girls Want in Mothers." A $10
donation was voted to the St, Helens
Public Library and it was agreed to
have a booth at the school area field
day, with Mrs. MacPherson, Mrs. L.
Woods and Mrs. Frank McQuillin to
make arrangements.
At the conclusion lunch was served
with Mrs. Ross Errington and Miss
Jean Aitchison as hostesses.

How long does
an oil well last?
The average well goes dry in 20 to 30 years. To keep
your car rolling and your home warm, a new well
must be found to take its place. That's why the
search for oil never ends; why Imperial, for instance,
spent almost $50 millions to find and develop new oil
in western Canada last year.
Oil has become one of Canada's important industries
How many of these questions about it can you
answer?
Which of the following contain
petroleum
lipstick? binder twine?
printing ink? insect spray?
Oil is a part' of all the products named
and of hundreds of others wi-ich con-
tribute to our everyday living.
FOLLOWING THE
'TRAIL-BLAZERS
As Canadians push back the frontier —
developing new areas, building new
enterprises — banking service still follows
the pioneer. Today, there are more bank
branches to meet the needs of changing,
growing Canada... they are
being used more..'.they are doing
more for more people... than ever before.
Since 1906, branches of the chartered
banks have increased from 700 to 3,800.
In the past ten years alone, 3,750,000
bank accounts have been opened.
THE BANKS SERVING YOUR. COMMUNITY
En 1946 Canada produced less thin
10% of the oil she used. How much
of her needs does she produce now
18%? 40%? 55%i
How many service stations would
you say Imperial operates across
Canada
19,500? 10,000? 0?
In oil field language, a "roughneck"
is one of the crew of a drilling rig.
What is a "toolpusher"
tool salesman? drilling foreman?
motor mechanic?
Opinion surveys show that most
Canadians believe a business is en-
titled to a profit of 15¢ on a dollar of
revenue. Last year Imperial earned
7140 190?
About 40°0—and we use twice as
nnj:h as in 1946. Today's production
would meet 80% of the demand at
that time.
None. Approximately 10,000 stations
carry the Imperial Esso sign, but they
are operated by independent dealers,
each in business for himself.
foreman. Oil field slang is
colorful. A "Christmas tree," for
instance, is a combination of pipes and
valves to regulate the flow of oil from
a well.
In 1952 Imperial earned a profit of
