A Timely Address
Addressing the St, Thoinus Ki-
wanis Club, ,;. W. R. ,Reek, superin
tendei}t of the Ridgetown Experi-
mental Farm, predicted that when,
the present period of depression and;
reduced prices fat farm products had
passed,"air ut, ten per oat. of those
n
e agri ltural, industry whom
deacritied` as "fair weather farm-
ers" would be out of business; while
the farmers who weather the storm
would be thinking more seriousi
than they have inthe past. He de
Glared that it takes periods of depres
sion. to. snake farmers realize the im
portance . of - culling the unprofitabl
cows from. their herds and the board
er . beim from their flocks. He crib
cited the doctrine of reduced farm
production; at .the same time advis
ng that the. farmer should 'endeav
ue to produce just as much grain en
a 'smaller acreage and devote the
they land to production of rough
ge and pasture.
Royal Party' For Girls
As in the .case of the 'Royal 500 i
Party for farm boys in°
4' previous
years, the chief object of the. Royal
Fail- trip sponsored by.' the Depart- a
merit for representative girls from:
each county this year is to provide
opportunities and .privileges which
would otherwise not be available.
They will visit all sections of the
Fair and witness interesting por-
tions
of ring programs. In adidtion, t
visits will be made to educational
institutions, manufacturing plants p
and retain centres whieh- will be of
particular interest and value to rural
girls. The Department hopes that
the trip will estabisli ideals o nthe
part of the girls concerned and en-
able then to return home and intro-
duce improvements and methods
which will add to the efficiency and
comfort of the farm home. The De-
partment is providing railway fere,
dodging accommodation and meals.

Weekly Crop Report,
According to the weekly reports,
of the agricultural representatives,
fall work is well advanced in many;
Parts of the province.: In a' few noun -
ties from 75 to 80 per,cent. of the;
fall plowing is ' completed while in
others not over 50 per cent. bas been
done. In Eastern Ontario there ap
pears to be an increased interest in
drainage. In several counties, it is
reported that many fanners are tak-
ing advantage of: ideal weather con-.
,ditions to clean • out and 'open up,
satisfactory ditches.
•
iThe.report deals for the greater
part with the difficulty experieneedi
by farmers in plowing, on account• of.
the dry weather. Bruce County had'
a snow a short time ago which left,
the ground in good' condition but th
dryness has been • a 'serious handl
cap. ' In Dundas'the milk supply
took a 80 per cent. drop in one
week. :A yield of B% tons per acre
of sugar beets is reported from Es

RESULTS IN BREEDING SHROP-
SHIRK SHEEP
(Experimental Farms Note).
Arany "farmers, and more partieu-
e lardy farmers sons who may not
- have had much experience in sheep
- raising,, should be interested in Iearn-
ing something of the average results
- that may be expected over a period
- of years,
At the Dominion Experimental
Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, a'
- flock of pure-bred Shropshire sheep'
has been kept since the Station was
established. Over an eleven -year
period the average number of lambs
born per ewe was 1.54 and the aver-
age number raised was 1.18.
It has also been observed that'
where the male used was a twin
there has been a greater percentage
of twin lambs born than where the
male used was a single. The weight
and quality .of fleece produged has
also been materially affected by the
weight and quality of fleece on the
ram heading the flock.
Shoji ordinarily do very well in
this climate. The greatest drawback
is the danger of attack by dogs.
However, this can be overcome to
some extent by the use of a dog -
proof wire corral in which the sheep
are inclosed each night during the
pasture season. Even with this pre-
caution there is some danger of the
flock being attacked during the day:
One way that this could be entirely
prevented would be to fence the
whole pasture with a dog -proof wire
fence or on some farms it might be
possible to have, the pasture so ar-
ranged that the sheep could conte to
the barn at anytime during the day.
Where this is possible it is probably
the cheapest and safest plan to fol-
low.

Preparing Turkeys
Turkey growers are now ibeginn-
ng to finish or fatten their birds for
he Christmas holidays. It is cus-
tomary to begin the .process of pre-
aring the luscious turkeys for the
nation's festive dinner tables by
feeding them small amounts of grain
which gradually are increased until
the birds• are on full feed. Due td
the large supply of wheat available
this grain should be used to advant-
age in the fattening ration. Wheat
has nearly the same fattening quali-
ties ascorn, but does not produce
the rich yellow color of flesh that
yellow corn does. It is important,
however, that all grains be free
from moldiness and they should be
fed in hoppers to counteract cer-
tain diseases that cause heavy loss.
Do not confine turkeys for fattening
especially if they have been run on
a range, for range birds cannot stand
confinement.
Raised 2,000 Turkeys
In its effort to promote the pro-
fitable raising of turkeys, the On-
tario Government established a tur-
key farm in the County of Norfolk.
The object was to show that birds
of this variety can be raised with
profit. The experiment has proven
quite successful. This year more
than 2000 turkeys were hatched and
raised on the larva A short time
ago one thousand of them were sold
at 80 cents per pound. What is pos.
:able on the Norfolk farm is equally

• Interesting Links in Canada's
History
Ottawa,, Nov, Stir, (Siiecial to The'
News-Recprd)— Although of ' no
great value to this generation, the
bi:onze medals struck at the• Royal
Mint in 1927 in comniemoyation of
the diamond jubilee of the, passing
of the British North American Act,
will no doubt be great treasures in
another sixty years, A sample of
each of these medals is treasured at
the Dominion Archives at Ottawa'
where so many -links with history are
guarded.
The smallest of these medals, which
are about one inch in diameter were
distributed to all of the school chil-
dren of Canada. Ninny of these are
already lost, no doubt, but it is in-
teresting• to speculate on the number
of grandchildren who will listen wide
eyed to the stories told tomorrow by
the school children of to -day. There
is a second size which is to reproduc-
tion of the, snia11•ones but 'few of
these were east.
The most interesting of the three
medals is one about four inches in

effigy, crowned and robed, on the ob-
verse side and on the reverse side is
the figure . emblematic of confeder-
ated Canada. It is the figure of a

Toronto, Nov. 8th, (Special to The

to British interests to assist in the
establishment of a regular commer-

At the same meeting the Canadian

that every encouragement be given

King Recipient' of • First Silk
Stockings
London, Nov. 8th, (Special to The
News -Record) --,It is interesting to
know that the first pair of silk
stockings which were brought into
England from Spain was presented
to Henry VIII, who greatly prized
them. Iii the third year of Eliza-
beth's reign her lady-in-waiting,
Mrs. Montague, presented icer Ma-
jesty with a pair of black silk
stockings as a New Year's present,
Her Majesty asked if :she could have
more of thein, in which ease she
would never again wear cloth ones.
Silk stockings were equally rare
things in. the Court of Scotland for
it appears that before James VI
(1580) received the ambassadors
sent to congratulate him. on his ae-
cession' to the throne of England, he
requested one of the lords of his
court to Tend him• his pair of silk
hose, so that he might "not appear

Largest Turkey Farm is Woman's
Ardenode, Alberta, November 8th,
(Special to The News -Record) ---.Nine
years ago, Mrs, W. A. Freeman, of
Ardenode, Alberta, a native of Wis-
consin, 71. S. A., won a pair of bronze
turkeys in a raffle. She now has
the largest"turkey ranch in Canada
and is the acknowledged queen of
turkey raining in the Dominion.
Her turkeys will return a revenue of
810,000 this year.
The winning of the pair of turkeys
in the raffle suggested to Mrs. Free-
man the idea of raising turkeys' as
'a side line.
This year she has' raised 2,500
birds, Three hundred hens, all gov-
ernment , inspected; have supplied
the demand for eggs in 1930 and 45
of the most perfect hens have been
selected for first class breeding
stock. A revenue of $2,000 has al-
ready been obtained this year from
the sale of eggs and $2,500 from the'
breeding steak. The receipts from
the sale of table birds for Thanks-
giving and Christmas are expected
to bring this year's total up to
$10,000.
The Freeman farm on which , the
