The poultry crop all over Canada
this year is likely , to' be' decidedly
short. The poultry which comes on
to. the market this fall, however,
will probably show a high degree
of finish because of the abundance
of feeds and most of it will sell on
a basis of official grades. Price will
be a big factor controlling volume.
Growers in the Thedfosd district
are shipping one of the best celery
crops yet grown in that noted cel:
ely-producing area. It is estimated.
that three •hundred ear loads will be
shipped this year:, Special arrange -
?rents have been made to trans-
port the celery in special refriger'I
etor cans in order that buyers may
get it crisp and,; fresh. ,

sary much money can be saved by
taking advantage of the very low fi-
gures. Prices run all the way from
`
15c to 501 per bag just now.
Not
only should immediate purchasing' be.
of very direct value to the Relief
Committee buying now, but it is
also stated, such purchasing will
have an indirect benefit also, as
this sort of :thing should help the
farmer and therefore the whole
country. The Ontario Marketing
Board still maintains there is no
surplus of potatoes in Ontario, if we
take into consideration the fact that
this provnce normally imports a
couple of thousand carloads every
year.
Weekly Crop Report
Livestock men throughout Onta-'
rio have benefited by the open fall
as many dairymen have bge,n able
to carry their milking herds with
considerably 'less • grail, feeding
than usual. A1I livestock will go
into winter in excellent condition.
Cheese factories report an increase
in production over last year. An in-
crease in the number' of hogs go-
ing to nta'rtcet has been noticed
during the past week, but unfor-
tunately.too many heavies and uns
finished hogs • are included in the
Offering. Fall wheat is causing
some concern, due to having made
a phenomenal growth- this fall.
Many growers are pasturing the
fall wheat in an endeavor to
move some of the heavy top.
Potato Club Contest
Teams of two club members each,
representing the Boys' Potato Clubs
in Ontario met in competition' recent-
ly at O.A.C., Guelph. The Middlesex
Boys' Potato Club team was an-
nounced the winner, scoring 1028
points out of a possible 1200. The
runners -rep were the Wellington
Boys' Potato Club, All of the team
members judged and gave oral rea-
sons on four classes of potatoes and
also answered ten questions based on
club -work, growing -and marketing of
potatoes. A total of 26 Boys' Po-:
tato Clubs, with a membership 69
879, were organized in 1931. They
are doing a splendid work, not only
in gaining the boys' interest, but also
in improving cultural practices of
the potato crop throughout the pro-
vince. Real strides have been made
re- in many potato districts in recent
years by replacing with'standard
relin
alag large percentage of the
innumerable varieties which were
formerly used, as well as by focusing
attention on lower costs per bushel,
secured by means of larger yields as
a result of improved practices. The
Middlesex team will compete with
winning Potato Club teams from oth-
er provinces in the national contests
at the Royal Winter Fair. -

we remember ,hearing it called the

translation of the name Pomme de
Neige, by which it was called in
France, because of the snowwhite
color of its flesh.
The Snow apple was introduced in-
to Canada by French missionaries,
and probably before 1700. It has
certainly been known in different
parts of Quebec for more than 200
years, and from Quebec scions -were
distributed to French settlements in
the United States over 150 years
ago.
The Snow is called, Fameuse, an-
other indication of its French origin,
but it is likely that it was French
of Quebec possibly not knowing the
variety as Pomme de Neige of
France, who gave it locally this very
suitable name. Nursery men' list it
under both names, Snow and Fam-
euse. The mune approved by the
American Pomological Societyof
Canada and the United States, is
Fameuse.
So Mr: Watson, no doubt, cor-
rectly avers that this is a very old,
as well as a very famous and a very
popular apple, and grown on a lar-
ger scale in Canada than any other
variety except McIntosh.—@'Locant

The dairy column of the Family
Herald may seem, a strange `place to
talk life insurance, but this.. incident
may have a significance for "many
readers. Recently -a Holstein breed-
er was interviewed who was facing a
difficult situation. He had purchas-
ed his registered .cattle three' years
before, borrowing the money at the
bank. At .that time the bank was
glad to let hint. have the money as
his total• assets were five times the
amount borrowed. Since then farm
and live stockvalues have depreciat-
ed to the point where the banker
was_ not so. sure of his security' and
he had just 4lemanded that at least
50 per cent of the loan be repaid
immediately. As the•loan was in' -the
forret of demand notes, the situation
had to be met some way. It is diffi-
cult now to get money on farm mort-
gage. .Fortunately this elan bad
been paying quite a substantial life
insurance premium for a good num-
ber of. years. In his extremity he
thought of the lean clause in his pol-
icy. On, inquiry he found that the
life insurance company would loan
hint $2,600 on his policy, with' inter-
est at six per compounded year-
ly whereas the bank had charged 6',
per cent compounded monthly. He
did not have to sacrifice his cattle or
his feed to raise•funds and he reduc-
ed his interest charge. He is more
convinced than ever that `life insur-
ance is a great thing for the farmer.
In discussing this incident with the
manager of a farmers' co-operative
club in the leading dairy section of
Western Ontario, he mentioned that
several farmers in 'itis section had
been saved in the same manner in
the last few months.—Family Her-
ald and Weekly Star.
Boys' Foal Clubs
A competition for members of
Boys' Foal Clubs in Ontario is an-
nounced as a new anti interesting)

boys will show foals of their own
raising and in addition to the prizes
offered for the foals by the Ontario

Toronto operated over lines which

by railroad historians- . and Monday,
October 27th, 1856 wasan important
day in the life of both cities. Trains
had previously operated between
Point Si. Charles station in Montreal

which operated out of Montreal on
October, 27th, 1855 was the first

.. Protecting Berry Plants
For the protection of raspberry
and strawberry plants against the
rigours of winter, the Dominion
Horticulturist has sono valuable
recommetdatons. 'In the case of
raspberries he advises that the canes
be bent down just before winter sets
in and held in place by a little soil
being placed on the tips. Before
bending the canes,,a little soil should
be removed from one side of the hill
and the canes collected in a bunch
and pressed down in the line, of a
row by means of a fork, When pro-
tected in this way the canes will
come through the winter in good con-
dition, while if net protected they
may be badly injured.
For the protection of strawberries
after permanent frost has set in and
the ground is quite solid, the plants
should be covered with a light coat-
ing of clean straw, that which will
not pack closely over the plants be)
ing best. Marsh hay is good as it is
free from weed seeds. The mulch
of this type prevents alternate thaw-
ing and freezing of the ground in the
springtime and protects the plants in
case there is not sufficient snow
during the winter. It also prevents
heaving. Where injury from spring
frost is frequent it is desirable to
hold the plants back as long as
possible. For this purpose after the
first heavy fall of snot the snow

Dr. J. A. Ruddick. Dominion
Dairy Commissioner, calls atten-
tion to the importance of main-
taining
aimtaining adequate temperatures,, for
the curing of cheese made during
the fall months, particularly Octo-
ber and November. The tempera-
ture of the curing rooms should
never be allowed to go below 60
degrees F., and the cheese should
be turned every day. A fire in tlie
curing room keeps the air drier
and gives the cheese better rinds
while maintaining adequate tem-
peratures.

on hand from the country districts
to see the new locomotive as 11 swept
along towards its destination.
Since Dominion Day, 1900, the in-
tervening towns have witnessed the
daily passing in each direction of the
International Limited, which now
makes the journey between Mon

334 intervening miles, the fastest
train over a like distance in the

There seems always to be some-
thing to ,hake the growing of food
more difficult for the farmer. The
Peace River Record has the follow-
ing regarding a new blight oh wheat
"Still another enemy of the wheat
grower has appeared in Alberta tta
fields to reduce the yields
grades, and in some instances to
almost completely destroy whole
fields of ripening wheat. It is a pe-
culiar type of blight, and this is the
first year, so far as, can be learned
that it has appeared.
Grain suffering from blight has
somewhat the appearance at first
glance of having been frosted. But
closer examination discloses that it
is hot frost, btu a blight that chanes
es the appearance of the grain just
at the^ltipening stage. Tests already
made in some districts show that if
the grain is cut immediately the
blight becomes 'apparent, a consider•
able part of it will be saved. But if
allowed to stand it will shrivel up,
and become a complete loss.
Samples of the grain thus affected
"were sent to the plant pathologist of
the University of, Alberta, and his
report on them states that this blight
'has been reported from several parts
of the province".
