Worthy of note is a Dual Purpose Shorthorn bull offer, Despite the heavy export during ed by CoI. T. J. Rutherford for the the past crop year of Canada's grain the Dominion enters the new crop year with a carryover of 212,000,000 bushels of wheat, or over one-third more than was on hand on August lst last year. The carry-over of other .grains will exceed 60,000,000 bushels. C3L—� Trend in Fertilizers The increasing attention given to pasture fertilization in the stock raising and dairying districts of Canada is creating an appreciable in- crease in the demand for fertilizers, more particularly those furnishing nitrogen and phosphoric acid -the former to increase the protein con- tent of the grass and the latter to give a higher ash content, says the Dominion Chemist. In recent years the trend in fertilizer practice has been towards the use of more highly concentrated materials since this means a saving in freight and hand, ling charges. This is evidenced by the increased manufacture and saloof 20 per cent and 45 per cent (triple) superphosphate and of ammonium phosphate carrying approximately 10 per cent'nitrogen and 47 per cent phosphoric acid. Attention Cattle Shippers! Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy announc- es that the Government has been fortunate in securing offers for spaces available to Ontario cattle raisers wishing to export suitable cattle to the Old Country. Shipments have to be made in car- lots and the ideal weights for export are from 1,000 pounds 'to 1,300 pounds. Farmers in different districts are arranging to make up shipments to Old Country markets. Cattle may be shipped freight collect and laid 'down in Kirkenhead or Glasgow at a cost of $24.50 to 525.00 per head. Sales costs in Great Britain are a- round $5.00 per head additional. Colonel Kennedy announces that cattle shipments to Great Britain will be met on arrival in the Old Country and every thing done to promote sales to best advantage, reports being made back to the shippers by the Agent General's office in London. Enquiries for space should be ad. dressed to the Ontario Marketing Board, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. The Farmer Controls Cost "The cost of producing crops is at all times a very important con- sideration" observes E. S. Hopkins, B.S.A., Dominion Field Husbandman. "Return values are more or less controlled by the law of supply and demand or by other prevailing con- ditions, and the producer has very little influence upon the price he will receive for his product. He has however, some control over his cost of production and the economy with which he produces his ,crop may mean the difference between profit and loss on that crop. In times of depression and low prices this is doubly important. If profits are to be maintained when prices, are low, costs must be measured according, lyy, , tereasseso Weekly Crop Report Frequent rains in most sections have helped root crops, pastures and fall wheat 'seeding. Root crops are below average, with a light yield of potatoes and turnips. A .good.. aver- age apple crop of well -coloured clean fruit is now being picked. Harvesting of a good grape crop is is .progressing satisfactorily and cutting of an average corn crop is well under way. The tobacco crop • nearly harvested, is ea y ha v sted, ,but yield and quality • are below that of last year. Fall ploughing is generally well ad- vanced, the soils have greatly bene- fited recent rains and indications by a cons are that an increased acreage will be sown to fall wheat. Ontario Ploughing Mateheis The International Ploughing Match will be held in new territory this year, the northern part of Grey best stubble ploughing by boys un- der 17 and a silver tea service from T. Stewart Cooper for best plough- ed land in any class by boy under 25. The Mayor of Owen Sound and the Warden of Grey County extend an invitation to this combined ploughing match and machinery de- monstration October 10 to 13th. No, admission fee is charged and there are no midway spielers to disturb the grounds. It is a meeting place for business men, professional men and farmers. Besides this central match there will be about thirty county or dis- trict matches held throughout On- tario, mostly in the month of Octo- ber. Air and Stored Potatoes Careless storing of wet potatoes is responsible for unnecessary an- nual. losses. Potatoes ought to be stored dry in a cool, well -ventilated cellar which is perfectly dark. Pil- ing potatoes in heaps in warm and poorly ventilated cellars creates the most favourable conditions fqr rot- ting., Before placing the potatoes in a cellar, wooden slats slightly apart should be nailed about six inches or more front the wall, and a tempor- ary floor with cracks between the boards . should be laid about six in- ches above the permanent floor. This will ensure air to circulate around and under the pile of potatoes. If it should so happen that the pile has to be very alrge, square ventilators made of wooden slats and running, from top to bottom of the pile should be put in here and there. To- gether with the circulation of air at the sides and at the bottom of the pile, these ventilators will keep the potatoes in a much better condition than if they were in a solid pile. Another goad plan is to keep the pos tatoes in large crates made with slats the ventilation between the crates assisting very much in keeping the potatoes in good condition. The temperature of the storehouse or cellar should be kept as nearly 33 or 35 degrees F. as possible, R. 0. P. Poultry Breeding The international fame of Cana• dian Record of Performance and Registered poultry can be justly at- tributed to the establishment of high -producing lines of ,healthy vig- orous birds under the supervision of the Dominion and Provincial Depart- ments of Agriculture. Consequently the 1933.34 rules and regulations for R. 0, P. poultry which have just been issued by the Live Stock Com, missioner assume an import of more than ordinary significance. Although no changes have been made from the previous year the opportunity is once more given to the individual to learn more about poultry breeding; to build up his own flock, and to benefit . through the sale of breeding stook and hatching .eggs. Attention is called to the fact that application for entry for R. 0. P. certificates, which should be addressed to the Poultry Division Live Stock Branch, Ottawa, must be received one month in advance of the date on which it is intended to commence the records, and that no entries will be accepted after November -30. R. 0, P. certi- ficates may be granted for all birds, not otherwise disqualified, which lay 200 eggs in 365 consecutive days, provided that at least hall the num- ber of eggs laid during official in- spection weigh two ounces or over, starting one month after each bird's record commences, and in no case later than January 1. REASON FOR PRIDE A farmer had two ministers as his guests at luncheon, in the course of which e two young .cockerels, nicely cooked, were consulted, After Iuneh the partly went out into the yard where an old leek Was strutting about crowing defiantly. "That cock seems very proud of itself," remarked one of the .clergymen. 'Weer hemay be," replied the farmer, "for two a' his sons ha'e juist entered the meenis- try „ The Prevention of Mechani: cal Injuries to 'Potato Tubers (Experimental Farms, Note) For spme years farmers in the po- tato gnawing sections of Canada have been reminded of the necessity of preventing mechanical injuries to. potatoes whether grown for seed pur- poses or for table use. Tho most common mechanical in- juries are cuts, cracks, skinning and bruises. Cuts are most noticeable but bruises are considered of great- er importance because what niay ap- pear to be a minor bruise is actually an area of crushed tissue giving rise to many internal cracks, the fore. runners of storage rots resulting from mechanical injuries and respon- sible for appreciable losses. Of the agencies causing such injuries the potato digger is the chief offender. The potatoes may also be damaged as they are picked up and hauled to the cellar. It has been determined ex-, perimentally that tubers are injured but very slightly when poured from a basket into a sack from a height of 12 inches: When poured from a height of 30 inches, however, injury by cracking and bruising is very se- vere. As a further precaution against such injury the newly dug potatoes should be left exposed to the air for at least 30 minutes. Furthermore, the potatoes should be reasonably mature as tubers crack very easily if they are still growing rapidly at dig- ging time. By avoiding late plant- ing this source of injury may be mai terially reduced. Since most of the injuries are caus- ed by the digger it should be selected with care and adjusted to insure the least possible damage to the crop. According to authorities on the sub - jest diggers should be at least 24 inches in width and operated deep enough to dig the potatoes without cutting. . Sufficient dirt should be elevated over the chain to cushion the potatoes and the rear should be adjusted just high enough to free the potatoes from the soil but not too high lest bruising occurs. It is usu- ally necessary to pad the digger chain, especially if the potatoes are immature. If the soil is damp it may stick to the rods and offer suitable protection. When the soil is so dry that it sifts through the chain or belt other measures must be taken and for this it is preferable to split pieces of rubber hose and tie them around the rods. Similarly it is high, ly important to pad all hard and soil - id parts of the digger with which potatoes may come in contact. Any additional information may be ob- tained by writing to your nearest Dominion Laboratory of Plant Path- ology. PEDIGREE POULTRY BREEDING (Experimental Farms Note) In poultry breeding there seems to be a tendency to believe that, mating a male out of a high record dam to hens which themselves have high re- cords, will give the final product and spell success; however, the most thoughtful breeders believe that high egg production is not a definite char - Rotor, but is rather the result of a combination of several production characters, each of which is distinct and inheritable. Among these characters may be mentioned precocity, broodiness, in- tensity, high persistency, and they are no doubt combined in different ways, also probably inherited, from both the sire and the dam. It means that the trap -nest and banding sys- tems may single out the good pre, ducers, but a eareful analysis of re.. cords must be done to find out the best reproducers. After giving much care to secure birds from the best matings ,possible of pedigreed stock, the problem of production for too many beginners seems to end. The mistake is para- mount as results often show. Feed- ing at all times is in the mind of thoughtful breeders, one of the most intricate problems they are faced with, The results of 16 years of this kind of work show ''real progress at Cap Rouge and it is believed that this is due partly to breeding, partly to improvementin feeding and man- agement. Starting with 4 per cent of hens which had laid over 150 eggs the first year, we are now working with birds havingreached the 200 egg mark, with the eggs weighing at least 24 ounces to the dozen. In order to make further improve- ments, m,p rove-ments, pullet year egg production, egg weights, early maturity, standard qualification, hatchabilityand mor- tality • must be kept in mind in sel- ecting females, while the young males to be used should, be selected accord- ing to the average of the sister flock records, and should be vigorous and possess the standard qualifications.

Farmers Will Average $1700 on Grain Crop in This Part of Alberta The Edmo-nton Journal says: "it is estimated that in the portion of Alberta lying north of Red Deer the wheat yield this year will run close to 70,000,000 bushels. At a figure 'even lower than present street prices here, and allowing for variation in grade the revenue to the 35,000 farmers in the area specified will be over '330,000,000. Wheat does not represent more than about one-half of their total revenue. The total farm revenue this year will run around 360,000,. 000 in this part of the province. This means an average farm revenue of over $1700. Of course, many will be well below that figure while oils ers will be considerably above it. But, considering that the farm pro- duces a material proportion ' of the farm family's food requirements the average revenue indicates that farm- ing has 'been profitable this year in this part of the province." SHEEP KILLS WOLF IN SOO DISTRICT THIS IS "NEWS" S.A..UUr STE, 31.411IE, Sept, 21. -,(CP) -Ed, Mayor Noelville far, - mer, came to town today with a a story that one of his sheep had killed a wolf. Mayer said he had missed several lambs and watch- ing ate-ing his flocks closely. He ran to- wards a group of sheep in which a disturbance was apparent, and at- rived in'time, he declared, to see e large ram charge a wolf that had sunk its fangs into a sheep's neck. The wolf, he added, died of a frac- tured skull and a broken neck. No inquest will be held. 111 EPS REVISALS,: Mrs. Alice Joynt, an esteemed' resident of the .village, who left here this week to be withher three sons who are attend- ing Toronto University, was on Fri- day evening last presented by the choir of the United Church, of which she has been a valued mem- ber, with a handsome Hyinn Book ac, companied by best wishes for her happiness in the Queen City. Mrs. Joynt was also, during the week, presented with fine and useful gift from the bridge club of which sh was a member: Mrs. F. G. Mann entertained in her honor and agai she was presented with beautifu gifts. GODERICB: Mr. Bernard A.

Some 28 years ago she as Mrs. 1 Leonedas (Hubbard, of New York, ex, , piored and mapped out the George River in Labrador and afterwards wrote the account of her travels en- der the title of "A Woman's Way • Through Unknown Labrador." Her niece Mrs. Smith, of Wingham, ac- companied her to town and showed' her the beauties of the place of which she spoke very appreciatively to, Mrs. Hamilton, sasseEresue WINGHAM: Following a week of wet weather bright Summer sunshine prevailed throughout the day on Friday when the Wingham High School was fortunate in holding their annual field day. The morning ev- ents which consisted of all the, races, were held on the Agricultural grounds, while the afternoon events were held on the high school cam- pus. C=1s EXETER: While riding a horse owned by Sam Parsons, Saturday af- ternoon, Roy Campbell, of William street, was thrown to the road and in attempting to save himself he put out his arra to break the fall, with the result that it was broken above the elbow. L EXETER: There was an atten- dance of 300 at the public meeting held in the Exeter Opera House by the members of the Orange Lodge, The county master, Edward Faultier, presided, and gave a brief address. The speaker of the evening. was Rt. Wor. Bro. Dawson, grand master or Western Ontario. The aims and ob- jects of the society were explained and the speaker spoke at some length on the separate school question, ob- jecting to the aggressive policy now evident in both primary and second, ar'y schools and in the matter of tax- ation, Mr. Dawson, speaking on be- half of the order, does not like the management of the land settlement in Northern Ontario, nor does he think the rich North is becoming sufficiently safeguarded for protest- antisnt. County Chaplain E. M. Dig - nen also .spoke. Phillippa Harness recited and ,Harvey Mo'Gee, Scottish entertainer, of Auburn, added variety to the program. Refreshments were served by the members of the lodge. e GODERICH: The last will and testament of S. F. Washington, K.C., of Hamilton, who died on June 25th last, leaving an estate which has been valued for probate at $191,000, directs that three Gorierich citizens, receive life annuities. They are a sister, Eleanor Washington; a bro- ther, Charles (Wiashingtan; and a niece, Mrs. Walter (Cora) 'Buchan- an. His son, ,F. P.

The late Mr. Washington was former Crown At- torney for Wentworth County. -The Star. 4=SSIX:s0 •GODERICH: Mr. and Mrs. •G. A. Dunlop left last week on a trip to Calgary and Vancouver, returning by Seattle and Chicago. SEAFORTH: A crippled children's clinic under the auspices of the Lions Club of Seaforth and Goderich, with Dr. F. J. Bechley as chairman, was held at the Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth when over 40 children were examined. Twenty-two were medical eases and 20 for eyesight. This year's clinic is larger than in former years, especially the eyesight cases, which 'were examined by Dr. Macklin, of Goderich, and Dr. H. H. Ross, of Seaforth. The crippled cases were in charge•of Dr. Ramsay, of London. A' large 'number of doctors from Goderich, Mitchell, Clinton and other towns was present. After the clinic was adjourned luncheon was served at the Commercial Hotel. Husbands Come High— Sometimes It Is To Be Hoped He's Worth It Maidstone, Kent (England) -Mise - Marjorie Joyce Clementson, daughter of the late Vicar of Staplehurt, Kent, by her marriage at All Saints' Church, Maidstone, to Mr. Bernard Thorp, of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, forfeited the income from a trust fund of 125,000 left to her with a marriage ban on it by John Samuel Newlyn, a 74 -year-old friend of her family, who died in 1929. Because entitled to one-seventh of the resi• - due of her father's 422,384 estate, which she had been holding in trust until her marriage, and transferred' the benefit front Mi'. Newlyn's es, tate to charities, Miss Clementson received under the will of Mr. New- lyn in addition to the income, a mot- or car, £15,000, and the use of Mr. Newlyns beautiful house and furniture.. at Staplehurst, which is also for- feited, It was thought that Miss Clementson might contest the mares riage ban in Mr. Newlyn's will, as such a condition is legally invalid, Mr. Philip John Torry, one of the trustees, however, said "so far she has not given any notice or indica- tion that she will contest the will, and I do not think she has the slight- est intention of doing so." Editor of Southampton • Weekly Succumbs To In juries Received in Mo- tor Accident Ernest E.
