Harvesting of the experimental tobacco plots in Nor- folk County is finished and a cropo9' excellent quality was garnered. Many soil samples have been received In the past month by this Department with the request that they be studies' and advice given as to fertilizer treatment for fall Wheat. Investiga- tion of insecticides and fungicides is being continued and a number of samples of various brands of Paris Green, Calcium Arsenate and . Lead Arsenate are being studied. New Grading Rules : New amendments to theRoot and Vegetables Aid call for thegrading of potatoes at all seasons -of the year and place a ban on all cull apples and fruits .from the markets.'- These amendments were passed at the re- quest of the Canadian Horticultural Council and numerous' growers' as-. sociatioms -throughout Canada. Co- operation of truckers, wholesalers and growers is asked in 'bringing the law into effect. TRE CLINTON-NEWS RECORD 'JPIURS-DAY, SEPTlMiB171.1, 24, 1931 238 Boys' ;tend Girls' Clubs' take care of 4917 bnye and girls between 12 and 20. During thepast year the following clubs have been in opera- tion: 23 calf clubs, , 30 potato clubs, 15 grain clubs, v13 swine clubs, 100 home garden and canning clubs, and 32 sheep clubs. These cldbs.•` have done a very important work in direct- ing the activities of, boys and- girls on the+farm and in creating among them a new interest in farni work. Therewill be the regular four grades of potatoes, Canada No. 1 No 2 and No. 8, and -Canada Fancy. Growers will be required to mark, all packages containing potatoes f br sale with their full ,name and address, the grade of potatoes and weight. In the Fruit Act the ungraded re- gulation has been abolished. It will come a very important part of api- culture in the Rainy River district. A Valuable Work The 0. A. C.

Goderich Fair Brought ht out Good g_ Attendance Fun List of Exhibitors Goderich Fair was " well attended Met week. This year one of the out- etandin g . interests was the large en- try of live stock, the finest and best in the history of the Fair according to the President. 0 Show Graded Honey One of the outstanding features in the gr;'ernment exhibit at the Cen- tral Canada Exhibition this year was the display of graded honey by the Bee Division of the- Central Experi- mental Farm. - . • This'yeas for the first time honey is graded with government stand- ards into the classes White, Gold- en, Amber and Dark, and there are three grades in each of these clas- ses.

In proof of the fallacy of this, one need cite a few examples only. In Skagway, Alaska, terminus of Hu- Canadian hcCanadian National's route to the Land of the Midnight Sun, 'from Vancouver, it is frequently hotter it midsummer than in many , places ir the southern United States. South- ern California, while at about the same latitude as Flovida, escapes the trying summer heat of the lat- ter state, England, much north 01 most of Canada, ,never experiences the low winter temperatures common to Canadians. The south of France about leve] with Nova Scotia knows no winter frosts, Ocean currents, prevailing winds, mountain ranges, astronomical laws —hhese all ;play their part in reno dering almost useless the generality by which most•, people estimate thr climate of a strange country. Most Canadians have never been tc the West Indies, or to the British Honduras, or British Guiana, coun- tries served by the Canadian Na- tional's fleet of "Lady" liners. And Most Canadians still thinks, rot these places as uncomfortably tor- rid. This summer nrbre was done to eradicate this misconception thar ever before. Marc- people visite( these Caribbean countries and ]earn• ed for themselves. Many prominent visitors to Canada from, the Wes' Indies declared ."publicly that they were going back to the Indies to get cooled off after experiencing Can. ada's summer heat. One proninen' preacher of the gospel ' of "cool yourself in the Wbst Indies in the summer and warm yourself there ir the winter" is Professor DeC. Ward of Harvard University. He says: "The temperature in the West In- dies never reaches the highreadingr recorded in moat of the United States, The `highest temperature aboard the Lady I•Iawkins (aboarc' which he shade the round trip from Boston. to . British. Guiana in July) was 87 degrees; on land in British Guiana the highest was 89 degrees."

"Cage and Armstrong, two amp - ed prisoners from Montreal recaptur- ed" Armstrong, being strong-arm, Fled the cage with Cage. But at last law's long arm Stc,'rped their pilgrimage. The cost of feed consumed and the price of eggs are two important factors determining profits in egg production. Poultry raisers are therefore, vitally interested in the selection of feeds and methods of feeding as well as the production of well matured pullets capable of heavy egg production during the fall and early winter when the egg prices are high. "New methods of reducing bac- teria in ice-cream announced at Mon, treal." Well, certain hypes of oper- ators should be barred from the manufacturing processes.

At the Fredericton Experimental Station, the laying hens receive scratch grain which is fed in the morning and evenings in deep clean litter and dry mash fed in hoppers which are open at all tines. Grit and oyster shell are fed in Chien hop- pers. Green feed and milk are sup- plied daily and fresh water is al- ways available to the birds. THOSE JOLLY OI,D CONTEN- TIONS Along about this time . of ,year some golf enthusiast thinks up the ideas if having' a convention. So he calls sup more golf enthusiasts. Ansi The scratch grain during the winter months usually consists of 200 pounds cracked cern, 200 pounds feed wheat and 100 pounds of whole oats. The heaviest feed is given in the evening and the amount fed per bird averages 13'9 pounds daily for ten (birds, This amount may be var- ied according to the cc'ulition of the birds and egg production. The mash usually fed consists of 100 pounds corn meal, -100 pounds wheat middlings, 100 Pounds bran, 100 pounds crushed oats, 50 pounds beef scrap, 15 pounds bone meal, 5 pounds charcoal, 5 pounds salt and 10 pounds cod liver .oil. Milk is fed at the rate of one quart for twelve birds daily. If a constant supply of skim --milk or but- termilk is available, the amount of beef scrap in the nsash may be re- duced somewhat without seriously affecting egg production. Owing to its low price and its a- vailability on many farms, barley is making up a greater part of the ration than ever before. Tests show that where cod liver oil and suitable green feed are supplied, barley is e satisfactory substitute for corn. At the Fredericton Experimental Sta- tion winter prcduction was .slightly higher where corn was fed but pro- fit per bird was greater where barley was fed.—L.
