Templetons, 142 King W., Toronto Local Agent—Dr. J. W. Browning Organiser for League of Red Oros' Societies Tells of Need of Europe's Orphans. "While we at home are latent on industrial expansion and a place in the sun, Europe in its war -weakened condition is fighting for its eery existence," said Donald W. Brown, director of the department of organi- sation in the League of Red Cross Societies of the World, which has its headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland. He resited Toronto to learn the peace program of the Canadian Red Cross Society and to establish closer contact between it and the league. Millions of War Orphans. Having just arrived from Europe, Mr. Brown was able to give the Cana- dian Red Cross some first hand in- formation concerning the people of Europe. He called attention particu- larly to the condition of the children, so many of whom are now orphans. While the exact number who have lost one or both parents during the war cannot be determined, the most conservative estimate places the num- ber at over ten millions. This num- ber seems quite consistent with the heavy war casualties among so many nations. Dependent Upon Charity. The condition of these children is in most cases very pitiable. Many of them have no homes and they are dependent upon whoever may be charitable and kind enough to help them. But there are few who are able to give such help for the mass of the people of Russia, Poland, parts of Roumania, Czecho-Slovakia and other countries are so poor that they have not necessaries for themselves. Consequently in the great area be- tween the Baltic, the Black and the Adriatic Seas, there are millions of children who face the next few years, and particularly the coming winter, without hope of proper care unless outside assistance is given them. Disease Prevalent. In addition to the unhappy con- dition of the children the adult popu- lations are in the direst of misery on account of disease. Suffering has been accentuated by lack of food and clothing, nursing and medical atten- tion, and tuberculosis, smallpox, typhus and dysentery are continuing unchecked. Typhus which has so often pro-ved a scourge and menace to the human race is again prevalent, and unless checked will most likely extend its ravages to an alarming degree. British Empire Appeal. For these urgent reasons, Mr. Brown said, the League of Red Cross Societies has made an earnest appeal to the people of the British Empire and he was glad to hear that the cause of the suffering children was being taken up in Canada. He had learned that an appeal on behalf of the British Empire Fund would be made in Canada by the Canadian Red Cross during Armistice week and wished for It every success. Typhus In Canada. in its earlier days Canada suffered from the ravages of a disease then known as "spotted fever" but now known generally by the name of typhus. It is a disease that spreads rapidly and is very destructive of human life. In the years 1846-47 it was brought to Canada by immigrants and caused great loss of life. It is only by taking urgent measures to stamp it out in the cen- tres where it is now raging that it can be prevented from extending. ; THE STORING OF CROPS horn to Keep Over Fruit, Roots, Cabbages, Celery, Etc. All Specimens Should Be Sound and Healthy --Careful Handling Very Important -- Bents on Fall Work In ,Field and (Garden and Among Live Stock. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) N the storing of roots, tubers, cab bage and celery it is a compara- tively simple matter if the mater- ials are sound to begin with. Although the decay -producing bac- teria, yeasts and molds are always on these they cannot do any injury until the materials are first damaged in some way as by bruising, heating or freezing. After such injury has been done the deerty bacteria and molds are able to feed on the dam- ageds tissue and as a result of this action decay or rot takes place and gradually spreads until all is spoiled. -Therefore, in storing roots,, tubers, cabbage or celery, it is necessary,--- lst. To have only sound, healthy specimens. 2nd. To handle with care so as not to bruise or otherwisedamage the tissues. 3rd. Store in a cool, well -ventilat- ed place where there will be no dan- ger of either over -heating or freezing. Overheating or freezing will usual-. ly kill the living tissue of which the roots are composed, after which they will readily decay as a result of the rapid multiplication of bacteria and molds in the dead tissue. In the storing at such fruits as apples and pears which can be stored without canning we have to prevent the development of molds and yeasts. These are always present on the sur- face of the fruit. Bacteria do not damage fruits as they do vegetables or meats on aceount of the sugar and acid nature of the fruits, which is not satisfactory for bacterial develop- ment, but is just what is needed for molds and yeasts. But even molds and yeasts will not develop on sound apples and pears that are properly stored. If, however, the fruit is damaged in the picking, handling or packing, then the bruised spots en- able the mold spores or yeast cells that are on the surface to germinate and grow and multiply, and when once they get a start they will con- tinue to spread even through the sound healthy tissue and from fruit to fruit until the whole pack may be spoiled. Therefore in the storing of such fruits as apples and pears it is essential: 1. To have only sound specimens. 2. To pack carefully without bruising. 3. To store in a cool, well ven- tilated place where they will neither be overheated nor frozen.—Prof. D. 11. Jones, 0. A. College, Guelph. Hints for Field Work In the Fall. Watch every opportunity for ploughing land in preparation for spring crops. See that all crops are carefully stored so as to avoid damage in case of an early winter. When harvesting potatoes for storage or for market be careful to remove as much of the dirt and as many of the small, irregular, bruised or diseased potatoes as possible. If manure is available it is an ex- cellent plan to spread it over plough- ed land and then place the soil into ridges about thirty inches apart by means of a single or double mould- board plough. This preserves the fer- tility, improves the sub -soil and leaves the land in excellent condition In the spring, especially for cultivat- ed crops. Complete all ploughing which is required to be done in the autumn. When practicable, gather and feed or burn all remnants of vegetable crops and other refuse. Select in the field from the grow- ing crop some of the best ears of corn for seed for the following spring. When filling the silo the third cut- ting of alfalfa might be mixed with the corn for improving the quality of the silage. Fall Work In the Garden. Harvest the late cabbage, cauli- flower and celery; much of this can be put away carefully in storage and held until well on through the win- ter. Slight moisture and 36 deg. F. for roots, dry and cool for onions, and dry 72 deg. F. for winter squash. At this time the garden should be well manured and deeply ploughed so as to admit the frost to mellow it. Cut off and burn the asparagus tops, and clean up the rhebarb bed for next year, giving it a coating of manure. Take up some parsleyplants, put them in pots or boxes and allow them to grow in the house. Some counsel given early: All vines killed by frost should bo clean- ed up. Root crops except the parsley and salsify should be taken out be- fore the ground becomes too wet. Squash and pumpkins should be gathered before frosted. On vacant ground sow rye at the rate of three bushel to the acre to give a green crop for ploughing down in the spring. Late celery should be billed up to start the bleaching process be- fore it is put it. storage. October Hints for Live Stock. Feeders can generally be selected to advantage this month. Dipping ewes and Iambs this month will clean ,,them up, and make then comfortable and thrifty during the winter. If ewes are given good pasture they will begin to gain, and be in best possible condition for breeding, ensuring more lambs. Stables which are swept down and whitewashed alter the fall threshing make more sanitary quarters for the stock during winter. R:AGTORING ON FARMS A Survey of theTractor Situs. tion in Ontario, Many elites of the Machine on 'the Farm -- Ploughing, Hauling anti General Belt Work — Speed a Great Factor In Its Use. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) N order to secure as complete authentic information as possible concerning the tractor situation in the Province, Messrs. P. C. Conon and J. A. Steele of the On- tario Agricultural College, under the direction of the Physies Department of the College, prepared a..question- naire which was replied to by over one hundred tractor owners in Ontario. As far as possible, all phases of the tractor situation were covered in this questionnaire in ,order to detefl t'w$th. the greatest possible accuracy information re the future place of the tractor relative to other tneaus:xof ;seeing.power for the farm. The following information backed by the statements of over ono hundred farmers owning and operat- ing tractors will possibly be of biter - est both to those owners and to others who are contemplating the supplementing, (not replacing) of horse power with tractor power. The chief advantages of the tractor as a power machine would appear to be listed in order of importance as. follows: Speed, belt work, work done at the proper time (especially ploughing), labor saving, hot weath- er worker, economy, improved work. The quickness with which work can be accomplished with the aid of a tractor has possibly been given the premier place of importance on the above list, due to the necessity of speeding up production during the past five years. This condition is likely to obtain for some years to come until the returning sanity of the nations of the world results in a re- turning to the principle of seeking happiness from producing and living rather than gaining and existing. The saving of hauling costs and the "convenience" of the tractor as a source of po.ver for grinding and silo filling seems to have appealed strong- ly to a large number. Had the significance of the third mentioned item 011 the list been bet- ter understood, especially on farms where the land is heavy and difficult to work, it would no doubt have headed the list. Too much stress can- not be laid on this feature of the use- fulness of the tractor. Condition of the soil with respect to tilth is Ilia first and foremost problem to be looked after when greater production is the aim and object of the agri- culturist. Had the number of men on the farm been equal to the task, there is little doubt but that the tractor would still be considered mainly as a luxury to be possessed only by those who had made good on the farm, and not by those who are us- ing it as a means of making good. The fact of his always being "behind with the work" has driven many a man to buy a tractor in order to feel for once in the last five years that he has caught up with the work, and can have an hour to discuss with his neighbor the latest information rela- tive to farm or city conditions. Many men have procured tractors exclusively for the belt work which they are able to do with it. These, combining their own work with some' custom work, have made the tractor a paying proposition. The fact of having work done at the proper time, including early fall ploughing, and getting the crop in during the short available time in the spring is perhaps the most important feature in tractor efficiency. It takos the peak load off the horses and per- mits the farther to get rid of the horses which are kept for this purpose. In the majority of cases where tractors are used, it results in a de- crease of man labor. There is a wide difference, however, in the estimate made by various individuals as to the saving in man power; and ranges in extent from "making it easier" to a Oman's yearly wages." As a hot weather worker the tractor has no rival. Thousands of horses were ruin- ed last year due to the effect of heat. The tractor works on regardless of the temperature, and it is, on this account, even more in favor during the hot spring and early fall seasons. As far as economy in tractor oper- ation is concerned, there are few farmers who keep accurate records in connection with operating costs, and it is therefore very diuicult to give definite information in this re- spect. In only six eases out of one hundred is there any definite state- ment made that the tractor is not a profitable investment. In casds where the tractor is han- dled by experts it is an accepted fact that the land where the tractor has been used is in a better state of tilth than where horse power is used. This is mainly or entirely clue to the fact that the ground is covered oftener in tillage operations since the extra speed of the tractor makes this possible. The next few years may see either a marked increase or decrease in the number. of tractors sold in Ontario. There will no doubt be a tendency to standardize the make of machines which are to hold their place on the Ontario farm. Better design of parts to give greater efficiency and greater accessibility will be necessary if the tractor is going to hold its place as an efficient Iabor-swing device on the farm.—W. C. Blackwood, 0. A. Col- teg•e, Guelph. Live Stock Observations. Under certain conditions fall colts aro just as satisfactory as those foal- ed in the spring of the year.
