To Form Association of
Graduate Nurses',
A movement is on foot for the form-
ation of an association of the gradu-
ate nurses of town and vieinity. In
chiding the members of the Nurses'
Alumnae of Alexandra Hospital, this.
would make a strong body of forty
to fifty members. Miss Cleaver, pub-
lic health nurse, is interesting herself
in- the project. An important object
of such an association would be to
keep the members up to date" in their
profession, and a step in this direc-
tion will be a meeting to be held in
Miss Cleaver's office at the Town Hall
on November 22nd and to be address-

TELL HIM NOW
I£ with pleasure you, are viewing,
Any work a man is doing,
If you like him or you love him
Tell bill] now.
Don't withold your approbation,
Till the parson makes oration,
As he lies with snowy lilies an his
brow,.
For no matter how you show it,
He won't really, know about it,
He won't know how many tear drops
you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
Now's the time to slip it to him
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money,
Is the comment kind and sunny,
And the hearty, Warm approval of a
friend,
For it gives to life a savor and it
makes you stronger, braver,
And it gives you heart and comfort to
the end.
If he earns your praise, bestow it;
7f you like him, let him know it;
Let true words of encouragement be
said.
Don't wait till life is over,
And he's underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.

(To P. O. Perry King—Missing
Feb. 1943)
So this is Europe!
Studied in my school it few short years
ago.
Castles on the Rhine, the boot I Italy
France's sunny vineyards and the isles
of Greece!
I vowed I'd see them all before I died,
Germany was colored red upon my
map—,
Was that prophetic of her fiery doom
And France was pink, as though her
richest blood
Had. slowly drained away.
Italy was bright with yellow, dpwn to
Aehillean heel,
And Greece was green, and all her is-
lands,
Placid upon the blue Aegean Sea,
A neutral gray was Spain, and Malta
but a dot—
A small black dot; set at the bottom
of the map,
I wish I were a school boy once again!`
This small embattled dot shakes with
the fury of its rage.
Implacable, unconquerable.
And yet, perchance, a spark of its
fine timeless valor
Will light my soul when comes the
final Take -off.
And in that brief and breathless mo-
ment
Malta will find Canada unflinching,
undismayed.

Better to Budget
Farm Income
Although a farm budget scarcely
ever works out at planned, still he
who budgets is likely to come out bet-
ter than he who trusts to luck, says
W. D. Albright, Superintendent of
the Beaverlodge Experimental Sta-
tion. Speaking from thirty years'
of frontier experience, budgeting giv-
es one a grasp of one' business and is
a wholesome check on "big eye e." It
warns against counting on one dollar
to do the work of two or three. An
annual budget is good; a monthly
one is better.
Commence a budget by estimating
the income. First set down the.assur-
ed resources such as cash in hand,
bank deposits, grain in bins etc. To-
tal these. Then list the more prob-
lematical of fluctuating items such as
cream cheques, hogs sales ,etc and w
tal these. Add the two sums, rernem
being always that the bird in tha
hand is the only one to count upon.
Now set down the fixed expenditures:
taxes, interest, insurance premiums
and the like. Total these.
Then put down the ordinary expen-
ditures, such as food, clothing and
repairs. Total then. Add these two
totals and compare with the probable
income. If there is not enough income
begin trimming sail,
In the happy event of a probable
surplus see how far it will go toward
the new stove or combine. Make a
list of the things desired and decide
what are must urgent, not forget-
ting Victory Bonds.
1. Balance the. assured income
against the definite commitments.
2. Balance total probable income
against total probabIe outlay.
3. Figure how to spend any prob-
able surplus to the best advantage.
but only after it is received.
Such budgeting helps one to see the
end from the beginning, as all good
business men try to do.

Farmer is Key Man
of Reconstruction
For the re-establishment of a pros-
perous agriculture in Canada, many
schemes have been proposed in refer-
ence to large works programs, Dr. E,
S. Archibald, Director, Dominion Ex-
perimental Farms Service, told the
Canadian Chamber of Commerce at.its.
recent meeting, but he said, while
these schemes soundly conceived
would make for a modern, ,ouch iin-
proved and more permanent agricul-
ture in Canada, agricultural recon-
struction must start with the farmer
himself. He must have facilities
whereby Inc may improve his business.
That, said Dr. Archibald, obviously in-
volved cheaper credit, comparable at
least to that -which is available to. in-
dustry. The farmer alone can rebuild
his business, his home and his soils,
Farmers of Canada would certainly
prefer fair prices for their products
without subsidies, bonuses and sub-
ventions. No doubt there .wiil be 'a
transition, but the peacetime program
of'agricultnre cannot be built on the
vagaries of insecure and changing
factors of that kind.

FERTILIZER SUPPLIES i
Farmers are urged to mabe imme-
diate arrangements for fertilizers
they will need next spring and to ac-
cept delivery during the winter
months. Owjng to the present pro-
blems of transportation, labour and
storage. It is necessaray to keep the
fertilizers moving from the plants if
the manufacturers are to meet the far -
pars' needs. About 500,000 tons of
fertilizer of the different kinds are
expected to be available in Canada for
the spring of 1944. This is almost
double the quantity used a few years
ago, so it is a question of avoiding
peak labour loads in the fertilizer
plants, preventing overloading of
transportation facilities and relieving
the storage situation.
No one can accurately estimate the
extent of the demand for fertilizer
that may develop this coming season,
states G. S. Peart, Fertilizers Admin-
istrator, but those best informed
agree that it will be the heaviest
in the history of Canada and the sup-
ply may not be sufficient. For this
reason the farmers who orders early
and accepts delivery early will be
more sure of getting what he wants
and will have it on hand when the
time comes to use it. He will also
make a distinct contribution to food
production in making it possible for
the fertilizer plants to get the fertil-
izer out to best advantage of all con-
cerned.

More Than Costume
Good stock, good condition, and
good plumage of poultry and good
production give the poultryman a
pride in his work. By the same token,
bare back$ and feather puiling procli-
vity in flock cast a reflection on good
management, because these conditions
reveal deficiencies in feeding. Green
feed, consisting of second or third
i:rop alfalfa or clover, is not only a
great conditioner in the fall .but also
seems to contain some protein coef-
ficent that helps'to give lustre to the
plumage.
Hens have a high -body temperature
and they need their feathers to keep
warm particularly in winter time, and
warmth is essential to maintain pro-
duction. The loss of feathers means
higher production costs, and is a
menace to health as well. In summer
time, full plumage provides effective
