With this background, what plans

production could be increased if the

poor individuals ;cows known to
produce less milk and fat in a lac-
tation than would pay for their feed.
Then with 'the, extra feed and atten-
tion given to the better cows left, the
milk yield may be increased. It is
generallly conceded that a cow must
be in fair flesh at freshening in or-
der to do her best work during the
lactation. Yet there are cows on less
than maintenance rations during the
dry period, when a sufficient quan-
tity''of nutritive feeed should be sup-

John Drinkwater wrote "Abraham

War was nearing its end, and the
warring nations were eagerly look-
ing forward to a period of reconstruc-
tion, out of which would• emerge a
"world made safe for democracy",
and "a land fit for heroes to live in."
In this mood of idealism, Drinkwater
stressed the importance of leadership
in democraey, and recalled the mem-
ory of outstanding statesmen and
leaders of the past, whose actions
had proved decisive in moulding the
fortunes of the people they, led. "Lin-
coln," wrote Drinkwater, "was the
lord df his event"; and this play,
chronicling the last years of the great
President's life, shows how he grap-

Temperature Control Keeps Grade In Eggs
Producers in many parts of the
country are observing improvements
which are being made in the premises
of egg dealers. These changes are be-
ing made under' the new requirments
of .the egg grading regulations that
eggs may be graded only in Regist-
ered Stations and that, for registrat-
ion, they shall comply with certain
specifications regarding premises and
grading equipment,
These Registered Egg Grading
Stations may be hu pretentious or
modest quarters. Some will use base-
ment premises to meet the require-
ment that they must be cool during
the summer months. Others, doing a
larger business, are installing mech-
anical refrigeration. All, large or
small, will help to achieve the main
objective which is to stimulate the
production and marketing of eggs of.
the best possible quality.

The Idea Behind The
CBC Drama Series
The curtain has gone up on the
"Theatre' of Freedom".
The CBO has inaugurated a series
of 12 great plays to be heard on
Sundays at 8.30 to 9,30 p.m. EST.
Norman Corwin's verse -brochure,
"Seems Radio Is Here to Stay", serv-
ed as the curtain -raiser to the Whole
series, designed to bring home the
vital power of, radio to inform, in-
spire, and unite our common cause.
The cause is Democracy, which is at
stake in the world today.
The stars of Hollywood and Broad-
way, the dramatists of the stage, the
film and the radio here give freely of
their best to Canada as a means of
heartening and inspiring the listening
audience throughout the Dominion
and beyond its borders. The plays
have teen selected because they have
all of them some message to give to
Democracy. "St. Joan" is a study of i a new birth of freedom." Almost tin -

The position of country merchants
is that no . doubt some will establish
registered egggrading stations.
Where they do not, or in towns where
stations are not established under oth-
er auspices, merchants may act as
"first receivers." That -is, they will
pass on the eggs they receive from
the producer to the registered station
for grading afterthey have identif-
ied the producers eggs to that station.
When the egg's are graded, the grad-
ing returns will ,come back to the
"first receiver" who will make settle-
ment with the producer.
Egg producers may grade their
•
eggs for sale to retailers or topsiv-
ate customers, but must put their
names and addresses on the grade
tags on the containers. This is for
protection to the producer and also
to help eliminate the practice of egg
peddlers who are not producers but
pose as such when selling eggs to re-
tailers. In short, the registered egg
grading stations will benefit and pro-
tect both the producer and the induet-
tect-as a whale, and will cause a great-
er demand than ever for high quality
eggs, to the increased prosperity of
the industry.
The egg grading regulations that
have been in operation sine 1923.
have performed a valuable service to
the Canadian poultry industry by im-
proving the quality of eggs and there-
by building up a greater demand for
them. But the highest possible qual-
ity in eggs and the greatest benefit
to the industry have not yet been at-
tained, for the simple reason that fac-
ilities for -keeping eggs at the requis-
ite coolness, particularly in hot weath- •
er have not always been available.
Heat over 67 degrees Fahrenheit has
been the greatest enemy of quality in
eggs. This fact is generallly known
and many producers have taken a
deal of trouble to act up to this know-
ledge, only at times to see their work
'undone by careless handling at grad-
ing stations.
New with the establishment of reg-
istered egg grading stations, eggs
will be kept at the requisite coolness,
that is, 67 degrees F. maximum, and
thus encouragement will be given to
those producers who regularly kept
their eggs cool and an example set
to those who paid little attention to
the matter. Also, in the past, some
producers suffered loss through the
grading of their eggs by inexperienc-
ed persons or in places where there
was no proper equipment for grad-
ing. Under the amended egg regula-
tions, this will not happen, because it
is laid down that all people employ-
ed as graders must pass a Departmen-
tal test. Further, the grading equip-
ment at the station must be satisfact-
ory; the arrangement of the egg room
must permit proper handling, and, as
eggs are particularly susceptible to
damage through strong odours, the
egg rooms must be separate from any
other business which might be harm -

Sudan grass sown the latter part
of May at the rate of 25 to 30 pounds
per acre will make a good late sum-
mer or early fall pasture and may
be improved by the addition of 2
bushels of oats seeded to the acre,
Kale is not appreciated as a green
feed as much as it might be. Sown
in drills around 22 inches apart late
in May at rate of 2 pounds seed per
acre it gives an abundance of feed
by September, in a favorable grow-
ing season, and if not cropped too
close provide feed until after the
ground is frozen. If grown near the
buildings it is excellent feed to cut
for pigs, calves or cows requiring
extra green feed. The marrow stein
kale has broad leaves, produces a
stalk an inch and more in diameter
and grows about three feet tall.
When sown broadcast 5 or 6 pounds
of seed is required per acre. The past
2 or 3 years the seed has cost around
75 cents per pound. This green crop
has the advanage of not tainting the
milk when fed to dairy cows.
For sheep, hogs, heifers, dry cows
and market cattle a field of rape
provides green feed during the fall
when sown late in June. With this
crop there is time to do some clean-
ing of the field before sowing the
seed.- With both rape and kale there
is danger of bloating, but this is
minimized if the stock are not hungry
when turned into these crops and are
left there continually other than
having a grass pasture to which they
may turn at their own free will. To
shut cattle out of these crops at
night or for a few hours for fear of
bloating only aggravates the trouble
as once having tasted these fresh
feeds they stand and wait, and, then
being hungry when turned in they
over eat with the too frequently fatal
results.
then breaks out and Lincoln resists
on the one hand the pacifist plea that
all war is wrong, and on the other
hand the diehard plea that no mercy
be shown to rebels. On the morrow
of the Northern victory at Antietam,
the President meets his Cabinet and
oveiules the objection of some of its
members to his issuing a Proclama-
tion abolishing slavery. The scene
ends with Lincoln's servant reading to
hint a passage out of Shakespeare's
"Tempest" In the next scene, Lincoln
visits the camp of General Grant, who
is awaiting the surrender of the Con-
federate Army at Appomatox. He
spends the night in camp, and saves a
young soldier from execution for
neglect of duty. The Confederate Gen-
eral Lee arrives, and hears from Gen-
eral Grant the terms of surrender,
which he finds to be more generous.
than he had expected. The last scene
takes places in April, 1865, in Ford's
Theatre, in Washington. Lincoln ad-
dresses the audience from the Presi-
dential box, and makes his famous
speech, concluding with the words,
"With malice towards none, with
charity for all, it is for us to resolve

A RULE ,OF LIFE
The very essence of civilization is
self-government. The nation sets up
its government in order to impose cer-
tain restraints; it makes laws, forbid -
cling the commission of this and that,
because if these laws were not made
and Obeyed confusion would immed-
iately arise.
Similarly, the individual must set
up a system of self-government. He
must impose laws upon himself to
which he must compel constant obed-
ience, to keep himself out of trouble.
We cannot do the things we would,
for our own sake as well as for the
sake of others. The lesson of self-
control is one of the most important
we have to learn, and the earlier we
learn it the better, says an exchange.
This may be true in a partial, self-
centred sense. There is a better les-
son to be learned, and the sooner, the
better. It is the idea of God -control:
• "The arum of flesh will fail tis,
We cannot trust our own."
We should learn what is God's will
and do it. "Thou shalt" and "Thou
shalt not," of Holy Writ are invalu-
able guides.
