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.

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.

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 71/2 0 of each dollar received. Of this; 40 was paid to shareholders; the reg. maining 31/20 was used to replace worn-out equipment and to make sure we can supply your future oil needs: IMPERIAL OIL LIMITED •11 livisk•-• • country str:ong
