THE FASTER.. CHICKS GROW
THE MORE MASH THEY NEED
During , the first eight weeks of its life, a normal chick
increases its body' weight more than 15 times over its
day-old, weight. During those weeks, chicks need a higher
percentage of body-building protein in their diet than at
any other' time.
That's why, during those important eight weeks, chicks should
be fed the "National fresh -mix way" on a tasty, all -mash
mixture containing a high percentpge of protein and
essential minerals and vitamin:.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Tlaf is tl}e seventh of a series
of weekly stories which John
A. Carroll, assistant deputy '
minister of agriculture for On-
tario and formerly .sectetary-
manager of the Ontario Plow-
men's Association, is writing
About the visit of Canada's
champion plowmen to the Bri-
tish Isles, Germany, Denmark
and Sweden.
BALFA"ST,,,N. IRELAND. — To-
morrow the'youdgest plowing team
ever to represent Canada in an in-
ternational competition avill match
Its skills against those of 125 of
Europe's best.
The large entry here for the
Northern .Ireland International
Match is, I think, indieative of the
increasing interest in plowing
matches that we have met all
through our trip. Entries have
been received from Switzerland,
Norway. Holland, Dire, Scotland,
Wales, England, Isle of Man, Ulster;
and of course, ourselves.

been paid.
The attitude of many Englishmen
jowards . the cost of tobacco was
summed up in a comment one of
them made to met "I can't cut

It is difficult to compare prices

"Shocking." --But it was less than
50 cents a pound. Hardly shocking
to ,Canadians , who have paid con-
siderably more than that for bacon.
Controls and rationing are still,
severe, particularly on pensioners
and others who cannot get to
restaurants for an additional meal,
or who cannot afford to buy lux-

Farmers are blaming the high
price of real estate en city' men.
They say' city residents are buying
all available rural real estate for
four reagens: the first as a hedge
against inflation: the second as an
income manoeuvre: the third as
a move to evade succession diitties,
and fourth from a straight, desire
to live in, the country. What we
have seen -would' lead us to believe
that this is correct.
There seems to he little desire
on the apart of Britisl8 farmers' to
change the present range of returns
ret'elved for their products. It
could be that their apparent in-
difference is because they feel they
can do nothing about them and
might just as well mecept the"situ-
ation. 4)n the other hand it "could
b i di ation that the British
e an n e
farmer is pleased with his present
returns.
, The situation is similar to that
of the farmers in Sweden. We
gained the impression that dairy
product prices were higher in
Sweden than,in Denmark and that
the farmers were content with their
returns. The influence of the 'social-
ist Swedish state has spread, to
agriculture. For example in Sweden
the price of milk Is equalized so
there is little difference in the price
of milk no matter for what purpose
