Veterinary college and by veterinar-
ians attached to the staffs of several
agricultural colleges in Canada.
Issued Report
In the last annual report which has
just been issued, the principal of the
Ontario Veterinary College, Dr. C.1
D. McGilveay says: "Throughout the
year we received daily from veterin-
ary surgeons and owners of animals
a large number. of speehnents for
laboratory examination. The mater-
ial received related to all classes of
live stock and was especially notice-
able in the ease of swine, sheep,
poultry and silver -black foves. As a
result of these examinations it is ap-
parent that parastic infestations of
animals are becoming more fully
known. Owners are beginning to
realize that parastic pests are a
fruitful source of unthriftiness and
losses among animals. There is no
longer any doubt that a great deal
of useful work could be accomplish-
ed towards the control and eradica-
tion of parasitic diseases if one or
• more veterinarians were available
for special field work. The proposal
as to the assignment of one or more
men qualified for this special work
and possessed of sufficient profee.
sioner zeal to properly organize and
push the work mould, I am sure he
of lasting benefit to the live stock
interests of the province. By this
means a survey of affected flocks in
given localities could be made to de-
termine the nature and extent of the '
different parasitisme existing so as
to form the basis for definite pre-
ventive control work."
In sections where seeding is late
many farmers have found that
bar-
ley gives more satisfactory yields
than oats. Ths is an apparent con-
tradiction to experimental results ob-
tained at Guelph and Ottawa, where
it has been found that spring wheat,
barley, oats and peas should be
sown in the order named.
Late Tests.
It would appear, however, that the
tests at the 0. A. C. and Central ex-
perimental farm were not carried on
late c•"ough into the season. For
insta'ce, in the Ottawa tests it was
found that if the sowing of barley
was delayed one week after the best
time for seeding, the yield was out
24 per cent., while four weeks' de-
lay resulted in a loss of 46 per cent.
With oats the corresponding reduc-
tions were 15 per cent. and 46 per
cent. Delay in seeding apparently
reduces barley yields more than oat
yields up to a certain point. After
that farmers' experience would seem
to favor barley over oats for real
late seeding, and their experience is
supported by the authorities at Ohio
experimental station, who state: "If
necessary to delay the planting of
any kind of the spring grains, barley
will sutler lees than either spring
wheat or oats."
'ARRANGE
Help Owners •
At Macdonald College, the veterin-
arian, Dr. R. L. Conklin, has devel-
oped a highly useful service in de-
termining the condition of breeding
animals and their ability from ai
health standpoint, to reproduce their
kind. He has supplied a number of
breeders in Quebec with information
as to the health of their herd sires
through a system of microscopic ex-
aminations. If breeders with anim-
als that do not function normally or
appear unthrifty will take advantage
of the facilities offered by these in-
stitutions rapid progress may be
made in combating some of the ills
from which the live stock industry is
suffering.

BREEDING
The X -Ray; Registration and R. O. P.
"New and improved species of
chicken will in the near future," ac-
cording to Dr. W. H. Doiffenbach of
the Flower Hospital, New York, "be
produced by the treatment of fertile
eggs with the X-ray." He claims to
have produced a definite deviation
from the normal sex ratio in the
chickens hatched from X-ray eggs,
this resulting in a greater percentage
of female chicks.
This is quoted from a New York
despatch without comment, but it
necessarily reminds as of Canada's
two great poultry breeding policies
viz, Registration and Record of
Performance.
Canada is the only country admitt-
ing the hen to National Live Stock
Records. This is done through the
Registration policy, and consists of
the making of official qualifying re-
cords under Government supervision
through the medium of Egg Laying
Contests conducted on the Dominion
Experimental Farms.
The qualifying—records under the
Record of Performance policy are
made on the breeders own plant,
which is under constant government
inspection. The policy is administer-
ed by the Dominion Live Stock
Branch.
Both policies are to encourage
pedigree breeding of poultry for
production, and to originate a source
of supply of male birds of known
ancestry. The use of such males will
be one of the great factors in Cana-
dian poultry development, increasing
al it must the average flock product-
ion, and as a result increasing the re-
venue, and making even more profit-
able an already prosperous indus-
try.
Pedigree breeding is the surest,
safest, and sanest way to develop the
poultry industry.
WEL DECREASE
POTATO SUPPLY
American Farmers Warned Against
Heavy Planting — Movement to
Reduce Acreage Not Favored
Here.
Following up the general policy of
limiting acreage of crops, the farm
leaders of the United States are
warning against heavy planting of
potatoes this season, fearing that
there will be glut following the good
prices of last year. Plantings al-
ready in progress in the southern
and middle states are said to be five
to ten per cent. in excess of last
year, while in the northern states,
particularly Minnesota, the increase
may be even greater in growers can-
not be convinced of their error.
Good Year.
There is no question that 1927
was a good potato year, both for
yield and for steadiness of the mar-
ket. It is for this reason that in-
dividual growers are inclined to plant
heavily while on the other hand state
boards of agriculture are urging
caution. More definite reports,
which will be issued in the next
month or so,, will enable Canadian
farmers to form an opinion on the
season's prospect. It is likely that
growers in the United States will
consider their own interests first and
plant the usual acerage, in which
case he market will be fairly sup-
plied, Short crops are due to un-
favorable seasons—too dry or too
wet and no Canadian farmer can
depend on market scarcity through
any movement or reduced planting.

NOT SO FUNNY
He was an elder of his kirk in
a small Scottish town, and had
consulted a specialist about his
health. Told that he had a
floating kidney he was much dis-
turbed, for the complaint had all
the terror of mystery.
Approaching the minister of
his church, he made a request
that the prayers of the congre-
gation might be offered.
"1 don't know," said the min-
ister, "I'm afraid that at the
mention of floating kidney the
congregation might laugh."
"I see nothing to laugh at,"
replied the sufferer. "It was only
last Sabbath that you prayed for

"REDUCING" .IS DANGEROUS.
Dr. V. V. Anderson Says It Often
Leads to Underweight.
Tho craze to reduce, indulged in by
many members of the gentler sex, is
not regarded with favor by Dr. V. V.
Anderson, director of medical re-
search for the R. H. Macy Company
of New York, judging from his re-
marks made during the course of an
address in Convocation Hall, Toronto,
recently on "Vocational Guidance and
Mental Hygiene in Industry."
"In our investigations we have
found that this craze to get thin leads
in many cases to underweight and has
resulted in low blood pressure," he
said, "These women develop into a
.low production problem and become
a liability to their department, We
have discovered that many have fail-
ed to all their jobs aatisfacturily ow-
ing to late hours and insufficient food.
Too much emphasis cannot he placed
on the small things relating to physi-
cal and mental health."
By psychological tests the fitness of
any person for any particular job
could be determined, Dr, Anderson
said, Employment in the long run,
according to hint, was a clinical diag-
nostic business, the bringing to bear
of scientific methods of determining
fitness by obtaining the social, home,
health and work histories of the in-
dividual, In this way a great deal
could be done for workers in finding
out the personality eleut'ents that
made for success or failure.
"Every business and industrial
concern should go over its employes
from time to time to find out if they
are in the positions which are best
suited to them," the speaker said.
