FLOODS INTERFERE • WITIIPPROCESS OF FISH PROPAGATION The recent floods in British Colum- bia have rather upset the geneeal or- der of things in salmon spawning. The abnormal conditions undoubtedly interfered with commercial fishing, allowing mon than the normal mon_ bey of fish to etscend the rivers' and seed the apawning grounds. On the other band the natural beds have been seriously disturbed by Nature's violence and the work of the govern- ment hirtcheries has been hampered, 011 the whole jt is doubtful that a sufficient number of salmon above the normel has escaped the fishermen to compensate for the large number of eggs destroYed in the beds. Despite this set back to fish cultur- al work, general results in the Brit- ish Columbia hatcheries have been good. •In connection evith the Pember- ton hatchery, for example, the run dt solmon was not .as great as last year, but it was,eaual to that of 1919 .and 1918, and fully five times that of 1917 the last 'bug run year," which weld appear to be a very encouraging in- dication . The total collection of egigt in thle djetrict while not as large as last yeati, totalled 27,000,000, which is con- sidered exceedingly satisfactinee in view ,of conditione.

Plant Food Must Be Supplied— Mother learth Has Rer Seven Rules for Poultry !misers —Breaideg up Broody Rens. (contributed by ()inapt° Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Lands that have been farmed for half a. century usually show a de- crease in crop production. A few farms that have been well managed in the various sections of Oniado are still very productive.

Nitrogen exhaustion Is a very common condition noticeable in lands that have been culLiVated for more than twenty-five years. After all, the soil is only a storehouse for those elements required in the Atte pro- cesses of the food plants that the farmer groWs. • In that storehouse various forms 'of life ate at work converting the unusable to a usable or food condition for the plant. If we crop for years and exhaust the nitrogen orthepotash or the phos- phorous to a point where nny of such could not be supplied In quantity suf- ficient to poet the- full demands Of the growing plant then we have a _condition of plant mal-nutrftion or starvation, 1, Plant Food Must Be Supplied.

They find by experience that this practice is worth while. Di much milk is pro- duced on the farm, so much greater the need for storing some ice. The Problem Deserves Consideration. 'The problem of storage should be considered carefully and plans decid- ed tmen well In advance or the liar-' vesting of the ice, as it may he neces- sary to make repr.irs to the present storage Pouse, or a new one may be needed. . Construction work on the farm is more easily and cheaply done In good weather, so It is desirable to get the ice siorage ready for the next crop ofice before the wintry weather begins, or just as soon as the fall work will permit. It maY be noecssauy to lo some of the work right away, e.g., concrete work, and leave the rest until later, in all peob- ability until the freeze-up drives men aud teams off the land. 1'.1 ft./LS of Storage Vary.. The kind of storage for the ice mop will vary with the conditions eit the farm, and the ideals and tastes of the farmer himself. 'One thing is certainly true, namely, 'that the stor- age need not be elaborate in con- struction and costly in order to be efficient. Many farmers have used for years such Mexpensive and sim- ple storages as a large bio. made of Old boards and planks and located in some weli sheltered place, such as under an open shed, In mow of barn, or in corner or woodshed, a simple single wall lean-to on the shady side or a building., an old abaudoned silo, or any convenient enclosure well pro- tected fro511 the sun's direct rays.•The form and style of the storage for the ice does. not matter materially pro- vided the following named conditions are faithfully fulfilled. These con- ditions apply to any kind of ice storage house, and require special emphasis, as usually some of them are frequently overlooked, Note care- fully what they are: Protection from eon's rays, plenty of some material a poor conductor of heat about the ice on all sides, top and bottom, good circulation of air over the ice bin, Le., ,between the top of the ice and any roof that" may be above it In other word± religiously avoid the closed attic or loft condition le bot weather because stagettitt air andel; a. closed lioef. becomes very hot, ,and so -heat will naturally pass down through the covering over the ice and melt it very fast.

FISH PRICES ON THE DE- CLINE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY Retail dealers welcome low prices— Cheapness of commodity chief inducement to buy until people are educated. Evidence 'of declining fish prices is noticeable in many parts of the country. While it may be difficult to convince the consuming public of the fact, no one welcomes a drop in Prices more than the retail fish mei:thane While doubtless some branches of the industry are losing money, or making none, during this period of readjustment, and, the fact is to be regretted, at the game time cheaper fish is 'bound to have a salutary affect on the trade. The Fisheries Department, Ottawa has established a direct connection with the retail trade and is endeav- ouring to study the problems of this department of the merchandising machinery. Retailers in all quarters declare that their obstaele in increasing the market for fish, is the price of commodity. There is no reason why fish should not command' a reasonable -price in Acmparison with other foods, approximately on a pan in palatability and food constituents, but there is no evading the fact that people will not pay an equal price.ln other words the low price of the community must for years to come be offered as the big inducement to purchase. Not until housewives have been thoroughly educated in methods of cooking fish until they have a proper apprection .of ,its economic and dietary advantages, ma retail fish 'prices safelyseek the level justified by a mathematical comparison of food values. This is no new theory. It is a fact that it is .quite well appreciated in all branches of fish merchandizing. But when it cornea to locating a reason for high-priced fish it is any direction and say—" There is an to point one's finger in impossible undulel large profit being taken here." —Just at the present time there are ver35 few branches of the fishing industry malting evenil faie lieofile As a mattet fs± faili the industry, like a good matey othelis, is ,merely jogging along, hoping Los' a brighter future: High prices are et legacy of the war. In the primary healing operationthe.. acteal cost of fishing gear and equipment speed in some cases four hundred per cent, and fishermen must get a price for thole commodity that will pay for depreciation and maintenance of high-peiced equipment. They are not in a fleancial pOSition M *orb in a lump the depreciated Value or their iegaillqitct • purchaeed on h hig n It is ?Mild to lay the blame ?or high fish nriees in any One place.

There is the bread expanse of the North Atlantic and the prolitic Pacific, tiot to mentien the 220,000 square miles of inland waters, inviting all and elindry to come and take fish. Frequently one heatis the argument —"Why shouldn't fish he cheap ? It emits nothing to prodttee." The . same may be said of grain or oats.
