Paterson, feed and fertilizer 'distri- bution expert; 1. What am I 'going to do ',vith the crop, just harvested? Mr. Paterson believes that fanners will feed what they can to cattle, hogs and poultry. Wheat when supplemented with other grains and supplementary concentrates may readily he utilized both iiri dairy cattle and hog rations.

New Pear Markets Owing to new tariff cc,'rditions, Western Ontario is clamoring for Ontario Bartlett pears, according to C. W. Bauer, secretary of the Growers' Malrkets Council. Orders have already been recieved and On- tario's large Bartlett pear erop will find profitable outlets in the' West as well as in Great Britain, where according to Andrew Fulton, grow- ers' representative, the nn8rket for Bartlett pears is unusually good this year. The crop in England and Eu- rope is short and _ likewise in many of the American producing sec- tions. The canners' requirements THE WELCOME SIGN ' "Nobody asked you, sir," said the coy maiden."

Kennedy is serving an ultimatum upon Fall. 'Fair Associations in Ontario that unless they •discontinue . their °prac- tise of looking chiefly to Queen's Park 'for_ Financial assistance, the usual Government grants' will not be fcrthcoiiiing in 1932. IIe is convinc- ed that many fairs show too little. pride in themselves, that they would, sooner ask the Government for help than their own municipalities. Con- sequently he is taking steps to alter that attitude. This year the usual grants will be:, made, but next year the Government will gin a fair no more money than the fair's: mined - polity gives, On the present basis. of contribution, several fairs at least would have to suspend operations. The -Government contributes: between $80,000 and $100,000 a season in supporting these fairs. Under the new policy a considerable part of the expenditure will be saved, which is in line with the general policy of re- trenchment in the department, Ontario is by far the Iargest pro- ducer of tobacco among the pro- vines of Canada, ✓having contributed 28,600,000 pounds of a grand total of 36,700,000 pounds for all Canada last year. In all, 32,805 acres were devoted to tobacco raising in Ontario last year. Central Canada Show A record number of 294 entries was made in the judging competi- tions in live etc,* at the Central Canada Exhibition in Ottawa last week. Competitors in this depart- ment as well as these in the House- hold Science Judging Competitions, number about 400, were enter- tained at dinner by the Ottawa Ki- wanis Club, when Dr. G. I. Chris- tie was guest speaker, Junior features of the program were judging of grain and roots and also showman- ship competitions. A. total of 66 young men entered in the former .competition, while about ninety young men demonstrated their skill In hand- ling live stock. Keen 'interest was taken in competitions in inter -county pens of,market•lambs and bacon hogs. Fruit Crop Prospects Canadian commercial apple pros- pects indicate a yield of 3,629,000 barrels, an increase of 218,300 over the 1030 figure. This is six per cent. more than last year and eleven per sent, more than the five year aver- age. Pears show a considerable in- erease in British Columbia, while a 30 per cent.'decrease is expected in Ontario Peaches show an increase in )loth provinces and the total com- mercial crop of 904,000 bushels is a 20 per cent. increase over the 1930 yield. Plums and Prunes indicate a reduction of approximately ;17 per cent., while grapes show an increase in both Ontario and British Columbia, Premier's Message , , , "Yee mist put your hands to the pldw and solve this problem for yourselves, by raising greater crops and finer Iive stock such as will gem - mend the markets of the 'world," was the advice given to people in rural Ontariq by Premier Henry in his opening address at the Central Exhibition, Ottawa, '-He urged them to be patient with their municipal representatives -at this time in re- gard to the load of taxation caused by improved educational facilities and good roads expenditure. Speak- ing of rural hydro expansion, the Premier stated that this year the Hydro Commission would construct an additional 2,000 miles of rural power line, doubling its mileage. A flat service charge not to exceed $30 a year was made possible to the .farmer through Government assis- tance in ;hydro development, without wiaich a prohibitive charge of 8100 a year at least would have to be made. Beaus in Elgin Elgin County Bean Ii'ield,Day was held recently on the farm of J. J. Johnston, Wardsville. On this farm several fertility demonstration plats are located under direction of the Department of •Chemistry, O.A.C. Fertility teats eel beans showed a large difference in yield and matur- ity between the best fertility plots and the cheek plot. Speaking: •of beans, Professor Caesar was in )digin County recently investigating what proved to be a serious outbreak of green clover worm on field beans. 7ihis insect is of the N'octuid type, but differs he habit frojn. the coin, mon cutworms. Many 'fields were found infected with this worth and in many eases the entire field de- stroyed. It also attacked 'turnip ,fields and in the later plantings es- pecially it did immense damage and practically stripped away all the leaves and ruined entire fields. The inroads of the little garden worm were found as- fair north as Lake Huron and few patches of tur- nips and no fields of beans were found to be. immune. No further damage is expected as the larvae have begun to, pupate. GODERIOH: The Godeeich hand is in Toronto competing at the Cana- dian National.

Robinson Crusoe is one of these books which everyone has read but which nobody knows sefficientlr well to,elte passages in a discussion. Since -hostilities .continue` in the uni- versally interesting debate to decide where actually Robinson Crusoe 'met With the intriguing adventures Which farm Defoe's famous story of that -name, and whose hero is' sometiriier .said to have been in real life one AI- exender Selkirk, a review of the cies- sic beak, published in all lingua es of civilization, is always apropos Concerning Selkirk most encyclo- paedias point to the Pacific Coastal island of Juan Fernandez, off South America, as the place where he was "marooned for four years." But the book called Robinson 'Crusoe makes its hero recount 'how Fie was Mar- ooned for nearly 'a quarter of a cen- tury. • Of the two places which claim to have harboured the di'iginal Robin- son Greece, the, island of Tobago, adjacent to Trinidad, southermost is- land call of the Canadian National's Canada-Boston.,West Indies liners, ap- pears to have the better deed to fame, for the vicinity is named sev- eral times in the book, whereas the island of Juan Fernandez is ecnsider- ed only by the assumption that Sel- kirk was necessarily the actual hero and that the author deliberately or in ignorance changed the locale. Some passages from the book which -clearly indicate that the lovely British West Indies was, after, all, Crusoe's place of isolation, are cited: The reader early encounters refer- ence to the "great Orinoco River, (in Venezuela, flowing eastward) at the mouth of which my island was sit- uated." At about the same place of reading, Crusoe's man, Friday, gives the marooned Britisher to understand that the natives thereabouts are ear- ths, after whom the Caribbean Sea was named. Further on, Crusoe tells the reader how he sought informa- tion concerning the condition of "my plantation in Brazil." Again, Crusoe tells how, restless gfter having been restored tq England, he spoke with his uncle, who said, " . , you would not do badly to come with me. F promise to give you the pleasure of seeing your island again, for i have orders to touch at Brazil," Presum- ably sailing once more in relative security, and obviously in or near Caribbean waters, Crusoe rescued, a band of distressed voyagers who ask- ed him if he would not shift his course a lithe and have the goodness to disembark them in Newfoundland. where they might "charter some craft in which to return to Canada, whence they had originally depart- ed." There is mention of Barbados in the book, Robinson Crusoe. Also, Crusoe recounts meeting eertain Sptcniarde on his island and finding that they were "not my subjects at all, but belonging to the island of !Crinkled net far distant." Resuming the evidence, such as it is, it would seem certain that Crusoe had in mind some island at least very near Trinidad, since his entire nar- rative makes no mention of any eth- er locale'as he gives to the world the engrossing account of Crusoe's charming misadventure." Does this Apply in Huron County? Can it be that funerals are smell common cccurepees these days that eve fail to grasp the real meaning of such an ()cession. To those who are what we might call directly interest- ed, they are a very sad and solemn occasion. We attend funerals out of sympathy and far the purpose of showing respect to the departed. When we attend a funeral in a church, we are obliged to keep silence but it appears that when we attend a funeral at home we do not feel the sane about it and if we are not able to secure entrance owing to lack of space, we remain on the out- side, often within earshot of the voice of the minister and we spin yarns, trade horses or cows, talk shop and the like. Wb would trot say that anyone does it intentionally. so we must put it down to thoughtless- ness. We will all agree that it should not be thus. Vine are all sym- pathetic creatures with a feeling for our fellowmen; then may we at such times, when sadness is supreme in the minds of others, endeavor to ex- hibit our humanity. _ Laps on way to Aklavik on. Mission for Canadian Government Halifax, N.S., August—,Bound for Aklavik, ie the North Wrest Tertitor- ies, there to teach the Canadian Es- kimos how to care for Reindeer herds, ten Laplanders arrived here on the Swedish American Liner Grips'helm and left liy Canadian National Rail- way fey Winnipeg. From there they will proceed to the far North to un- dertake their novel teaching task. The Laps have been brought over by the Canadian Government under three years contract to instruct the Eskimo in the care of reindeer. For many years, the Eskimo in that sec- tion of the North have been regarded as a dying race, living precariously by trapping and fishing. A. number of conferences have been held at Ottawa between Government Officials and 'experts on the Eskimo question and as a result this reindeer experi- ment -is being made. Two yearsago the Minister of the Interior was au- thorized to purchase 3,000 head of reindeer far establislunent of experi- mental herds in DTorthern Canada. Under the direction of the Lapland- ders, ,a number of Eskimos will take a course in the care of the reindeer, the Government furnishing food for these reindeer students for a term of three years then fellows a period of four years contract with the Govern- ment after which the Eskimos are expected to 'become self-supporting by means of their reindeer herds, The Lap in this party are excellent linguists, speaking Norwegian, Fin- nish and Lapp and they propose to learn the Eskimo tongue an order to properly instruct their pupils. Attired in their pisturesque native costume, the visitors attracted much attention on their arrival here. The amen in the party are excellent Herds- men, owning many head of reindeer in their native country.
