Timely Information for the Bazsg Farmer (Furnished by the Department of Agriculture) HONEY OUTLOOK Keep the Birds Healthy It is impossible at the present mo- ment to estimate with any degree of accuracy the honey crop for 1938, but with an increase in the number of bee colonies reported, the capacity for • production has increased over pre- vious years. It is quite possible, how- ever, that winter losses may offset this increase. Furthermore, reports indicate a possible shortage of major nectar securing plants in 1938 due to the heavy winter -killing of 1936-37, and a shortage of clover seed. Bacon Exports Regularity of supply is important and necessity in building up, a trade connection for Canadian bacon on the 'United Kingdom market and as an aid to keeping prices at a reasonably constant level, states the Canadian Animal Products Trade Commission- er in England. During 1937 there • was more irregularity in Canadian • shipments than during 1986, also a substantial spread in quantities. Bo - con is a non -storable product, and as it is handled in large volume an in- crease of 55 per cent or over in im- ports in a few weeks' time makes it impossible to place this surplus oni the market without causing price fluctuations. Canada is the only overseas bacon supplier out of 20 countries which has the freedonf of the British market so far as volume is concerned, and her imports are easily the second largest, with Den- mark leading. • minuni.••••••••• Crate -Fattening Poultry In crate or pen fattening poultry for market, the greatest gains in weight are made on the thinner, un- der -developed birds •that ordinarily grade "C" for fleshing and fat if sold straight off the range. Such birds should make steady gains up to three weeks feeding. If the birds are in good shape and reasonably fat when placed in the crates a shorter finishing period may be used. The average increase in weight in normal crate feeding should more than pay for the feed. The increas- ed returns from, improvement in grade is additional profit. Some ground grains, such as corn and wheat, are better than others but any grains the farmer may have are suitable. Small and unmarketable potatoes, cooked and mashed, are economical and add palatability to any ration. They also help to produce white fat. Milk in any form is desirable; whey may be used if milk is not available. The addition of mutton tallow or any animal fat to the ration will increase the proportion of fat on the finished carcass. The care, attention and quality of feed given the chick and growing bird will contribute to the health and production of the mature bird. Due to improper feeding, particularly the wrong kind of green feed in the early stages, the birds' digestive system may not develop so as to stand the strain of heavy production. Then, too, a bird may just get by from the health standpoint and as a mature bird give a poor account of herself in the laying pen. Vigour and stamina must be bred and fed into the bird if it is to pay its way. The healthier a bird is kept the better use it will make off its feed. There is sometimes quite a heavy loss because the birds are more or less weaklings due to some infection or lack of attention when young or growing. Success in the poultry business depends upon continual vigilance. Rye has been found to be good pas- ture for growing chicks. Where this has been sown in the fall it is ready for the early hatched *chicks when the time manes to put them on. range. An early planting in the spring may give sufficient growth by the time the late March chicks are ready to go on range. Another strip could be plant= ed later and the agony house or range shelter moved on to it when the first strip is picked off or has become too coarse. Professor Gra- ham's pasture recommendation is as follows: Fall sown rye for early spring pas- ture, which may be supplemented with permanent grliss pasture. In spring; an early variety of oats could be sown as soon as possible in April, another lot sown early in May and again late in May in order to keep fresh green feed' coming along. Once the cereals joint they are greatly reduced in val- ue as a poultry pasture. To supply pasture during the summer and early fall, kale, swiss chard, rape and corn could be planted. Corn and rape could be sown late in May where the fall rye has been. Besides giving green feed the COM is valuable for supplying shade. The rape could be broadcast and the corn. sown in drills. Moving the colony houses or shelter permits more complete utilization of the pasture crop and improves gen- eral sanitation of the range. The fer- tility of the soil will affect the qual- ity of the pasture. George W. Holman, Former County Clerk Is Honored On Eighty -First Birthday 'on during your long term of office.

This settlement was made through the energy and' enterprise of a vigor- ous class Of Young settler immigrants who curie mostly frOm the southern part of Eniand in or about the year 1825 te .1830. The clearing Of the heavily timbered lands which they took up, with the thickly growing hardwood, mostly beech, maple and gm, the building Qf roads, erection of comfortable homes ancl of housing for the increasing stock of cows and other cattle, along with the other necessary labor o fthe farms, devel- oped the hardy manhood and woman- hood of large families into strong brainy men and women, fitted to meet the difficulties that confronted them, while the close association of a populous community made for an interdependence of living that de- velpped the manly and helpful spirit so common in such early communi- ties. Of this it is the intention to write later, but at present it is the purpose of this writing to refer par- icularly to an'. incident that occurred recently in the life of one of the many who can call Devon, Ontario, their home. To Mr. B. W. F. Beavers of Exeter, at one time Reeve of the Village, and Warden of the County in the year 1923, must be given the credit of ini- tiating the idea set out in the follow- ing testimonial, which he prepared for distribution among those County Councillors who were associates of his and of Mr. Holman's, during the lat. ter's sixteen years of office as Coun- ty Clerk. This testimonial bears the signature of most of the Wardens and many of the councillors of the six- teen -year period: Birthday Greetings < Goderich, Ont., March 19th, 1938. To. Mr. George W. Holman, Goderich, Ont. Dear Sir and Friend,— We, as Wardens, Councillors and friends during your sixteen years of office as County Clerk, wish to take this opportunity of sending you our heartiest congratulations on the eigh- ty-first anniversary of your birthday. We extend to you our thanks for your hospitality extended to us at all tittles, and for the careful and meth- odical way in which you handled af- LIVESTOCK BEDDING Straw is the bedding material for livestock almost universally used on the farm in Canada. It will absorb two to three times its weight of lig. uid. Peat moss used as bedding will absorb about ten times its weight of liquid. Other suitable kinds of bed- ding for livestock are sawdust and air-dried muck and peat. ClieSNAPSI-10T CU I L ACTION SNAPS. What action! Must have taken a fast shutter to stop iti Well, no—don't tell anybody, but it was snapped at 1/25 second, approximately box -camera shutter speed. The athlete simply held still for a moment. DRETTY soon theweather will A be opening up, schools will start on therir Spring athletic programs, small boys will be knocking bat- tered baseballs arounil on vacant lots and your youngster, very likely, will be among them. These amateur athletics are ex- cellent material for your camera, Whether it is a box camera such as most of us have, or one of the new high-speed Miniatures. Of course, with/a box camera, you cannot always expect to"r3top"rapid • action. That is the field of the cam- eras with high-speed lenses and shutters. But there's no reason why you can't ,picture action poses, eome of them so realistic that people who see them would vow the pic- tures were high-speed "Step-acdon" Snaps. Any athlete, proud of his muscles and uniform, should be glad to "hold it" a moment for you. And small boys on neighborhood baseball dia. mends cheer when they see a cam- era coming. They'll hold any pose you want them to. • The low viewpoint is best for ac- tion pictures, with the camera tilted Slightly upward so that the sky forms the picture background. Try it, ^witls a young pitcher "winding 1,ip" or at the end of ,his delivery. He can hold his position and expression long enough for yott to snap the victim—and the effect is one of genuine rapid action. • "Action" snaps of this sort not only turn out to be good pictures, but also provide plenty of fun. Try some, and see how easily the earn - era (and your friends) can be fooled. 184 Jahn van Guilder quite satisfied with their mere signa. ture but sent in beautifully -worded letters of personal appreciation. Two of „these aro here given. The first is from Mr.j. Wesley Beattie of Sea. forth, and the second from Mr. L. E.

Dear Sir,—I wish to extend to you my heartiest congratulations o n reaching your eight -first birthday. May you have many more. I deeply appreeiate your hospital- ity which was extended to me many times while 1 was a member of the County Council. The members of the Council looked forward to the social meetings that we had at your home. With best wishes to yohrself and Mrs. Holman, I am, Yours sincerely, J. WESLE1Y,BEATTIE,, Warden 1931. From Reeve Cardiff Two of the sixteen Wardens who served in the sixteen -year period„ Messrs. Newton, W. Campbell of East Wawanosh and Alfred E. Baelcer, of Brussels, passed on some years ago full of honors and with the deepest respect and sorrow of all who had been associated with them. The following list of County Coun- cillors who also signed the testimon- ial is given without respect of years of service: Joseph Hackett, Ashfield Township. Wm. H. Lobb, Goderieh Township. William Consitt, Hensall Village. L. E. Cardiff, Morris Township. W. R. Archibald, Tacekrsmith Township. William Sweitzer, Stephen Town- ship. James •Oath, Blyth Village. Wm. J.

Arthur Mitchell, Usborne Township John Hanna, Usborne Township. George Hubbard, Howick Township. Alex. H. Neeb, Stephen Township. W. J. Henderson, Morris Township. In expressing his appreciation, Mr. Holman said: "I have every confi- dence that there are many more of the kindly, bright fellows whs served in the sixteen -year period who would have liked to add their names above, but I accept the thought of their kindness as an actual act and return thanks to all for this very thought- ful and kindly remembrance of the days we spent together doing our best for the honor and dignity of our grand old County." fairs of this: good old County of Hu- Many of the "old boys" were not WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING • A HIGH WAGE COUNTRY Although the $175,000 Turgeon re- port in the textile industry quotes a reference of the International Labor Office to. support its view that Can- ada is in the "least advanced group" among world countries in respect of the number of hours of work per week, it omits to point out that a similar study by the same authority shows Canada in the front rank in re- spect of hourly wages paid. The quotation as used recently by Sir James Woods in a booklet entit- led "Insurance of Employment," is as follows: "Canada is a high -wage country in the textile world, I make that state- ment on the authority of the Interna- tional Labor Office which, in a study of wages the world over, classifies the countries in four groups: 'In the first group, are the countries of Asia —China, Japan, and India —where hourly wages in gold in 1935-36 were less than 20 Swiss gold centimes. In a second group are five countries of Central acrd Eastern Europe—Aus- tria, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Czechoslovakia. --where hourly rates were approximately between 35 and 45 gold centimes. In a third group are countries such as Sweden, Ger- many and Great Britain, in which hourly rates were between 55 and 75 gold centimes, The fourth is form- ed by the United States and Canada, where wages were above 1 gold franc per hour'." Apart from its failure to reach any worthwhile conclusions as to the ex- tent to which the textile industry is justifying its place in the Canadian economy, the Turgeon, report fails in many respects to present a fair pic- ture of the factual position of the in- dustry.—The ,Financial Post.

Pro- tection against impounding is given car owners, however, when the of- fence is committed by someone in their employ. We understand that the new law deals specifically with the type of drivers for 'whom there eau be little sympathy. The hit-and-run driver and the driver who attempts to oper- ate a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor are not responsive to safety appeals of any sort. That type of driver must be made to feel that they can not get away with their actions, and the regulation depriving them, of the use of their car for a few months should make them think twice before they do it again. Effective measures must be taken to curb the increasing toll of deaths due to the motor cars on our high- ways. Ruling the drunken and reck- less drivers off the road is one of the best means of curbing this evil and promoting safety. We hasten to com- mend those responsible for the amend- ment to the Highways Traffic Aet in this respect.—.Tavistock Gazette-. • THE PLEA FOR UNITY Canadians who realize the drift of things are making a plea for unity. The danger of disunity that Laurier and MacDonald foresaw seems to be not only on the horizon but at our very doors. Bash and West are mak- ing their special pleas. Provinces -and municipalities are doing all they can to get some one else to assume their responsibilities. Class after class is urging its special claims. We lack a common language. Religiously vre have almost as many denominations or sects as we have communities. All this in a country with less than 12 millions of a population. Anyone may see what is likely to take place should -a strongonischievons magnetic personality arise ,who can spread the contagion of erroneous but pIausible ideas. In such a mood Canada is ready to elect in haste and to repent through toilsome mis-used years, '---- Exeter Times -Advocate.

"To all those who joined Mr. Beav- ers in this magnificent testimonial it would be a case of wilful ingratitude if 1 did not at least thank thein for their great kindness in thus remem- bering me on this occasion. After all, this is but an expression of their • goodness of heart and of the kindly consideration which they all, and many more Councillor's whose signat- ures do not appear, exhibited toward me and mine in the many years of our acquaintance. The most and the. least I can do is to raturis thanks, which I do with heartiness and much feeling, joined with the hope that we shall all be spared long to exchange kindly greetings of friendship and good -will."
