WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING
CALENDAR >ODDITIES
The year 1937 appears to contain
rather more than the usual number
of calendar curiosities, or should we
say "absurdities"? Aa compared with
1936 there will be three fewer work-
ing days in the first quarter, and
two more in the second. And the
year ending on March 31, 1937, will
have contained two Easters, whereas
that ending on the same date in 1938
will have had snore!
Such discrepancies supply ammun-
ition for
mmun-ition_for advocates of calendar re-
form, upon which a resolution is be-
ing brought before the League of
Nations Council this month. Conunon
sense calls, for four equal quarters in
a perpetual twelve-month year.
But some of us prefer to have the
calendar as it is, just as we prefer a
rambling road, with its round -the -
bend surprises, to a straight one all
mapped out and monotonous.
—The New Outlook.
FOOLING THE PUBLIC
Most of our readers have at spine
time or another seen advertisements
• in which some well-known star re-'
commends this, that or the other pro-
duct. No doubt their recommendat-
ion has a lot to do with the sale of
this particular product, as the public
generally worships heroes and follows
in their footsteps. Reading some of
the statements attributed to well-
known . people, we have frequently
wondered how much of it is true, and
how much of it is nothing more or
less than advertising ,buncombe.
A recent issue of the Cleveland,
Ohio, Plain Dealer exposes one case
of this kind, which,while it cannot be
called plain lying, is at least' not
truthful.
The reporters were interviewing
Signor Giovanni Martinelli, the opera
star, who ordered immediately they
entered his room that they dispense
with their pipes, cigars and cigarettes
as they were injurious to his val-
uable throat. Asked if he had not
endorsed a certain brand of cigaret-
tes, Martinelli admitted that he had,
but had only said: "These cigarettes
never make my throat sore."
"And the statement is true," saki
the smiling tenor, "because I never
smoke them". Martinelli went on to
explain, he never smoked anything
in his life, therefore—tobacco of any
kind never made his throat sore. He
could have endorsed any brand of to-
bacco for this same reason because
he did not use it.
Smart advertising, it may be called,
but a 'better word would have been
"misleading". Durham Chronicle.
BUILDING UP THE TOWNS
The likelihood that the Swift Cana-
dian Company will establish a poultry
and dairy branch in Hanover is caus-
ing favorable comment in various sec-
tions of the province, which is not
to be wondered at because the week-
ly press has long urged that industry
should decentralize and thus inject
new blood into the more rural parts
of Ontario instead of concentrating
in the cities and sapping the strength
of towns and country.
An instance of such comment is
provided by the Simcoe Reformer,
which says:
"Industries are beginning " to turn
to the towns and small cities of Ont-
ario as the most logical places in
which to locate. For instance the town
of Hanover has just secured a branch
plant of ;the Swift Canadian Comp -

Coronation Arrangements Completed
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation now has completed ar
rangements" with the British Broadcasting Corporation to make
available for re -transmission in_ Canada all programs of • importance
In connection with the Coronation on May 12 of His Majesty, King'
George VI. CBC, on behalf of Canada, likewise will participate in the
special Empire homage program which will precede the message to
his peoples by His Majesty following the Coronation service in West-
minster Abbey.
Every effort is being made for complete coverage of the cere-
monies, both priory to and after the Coronation itself, so that listen-
' ers in this country will be brought as close as possibleto the scenes
in 'London. The national network of the CBC, it is expected, will be
opened between four and five o'clock in the morning and will re-
main open throughout the. day.
Present plans call for the ringing :of the Carillon on Parliament
Hill,. Ottawa, following which . CBC will switch to London for the
commencement of the colorful and dramatic ceremonies 'which will
be described by announcers stationed at strategic points along the
route of procession from Buckingham Palace to the Abbey and
then back to the Palace. Froin the precincts of the Palace itself a
commentator will describe the departure of the Royal cortege which,
as it winds its way along the circuitous route through the heart of
London; will be kept in touch with by other observers at at least
five additional points of vantage. '
The actual words of the Coronation, which is expected to last for
about two -and -a -half hours, will be picked up, by microphones placed
at various points throughout the Abbey and a description there will
be given of the brilliant assemblage of dignitaries as well as brief
Interpretations of the order of service. Listeners at that 'time also
will hear the, new organ recently installd in the Abbey.
Following these proceedings observers in the outer court will
describe the formation of the two mile procession as it prepares .to
start on its 'journey, by a different route,'back to Buckingham Palace.
The description of the pageant will be continuous throughout and
will last until Their Majesties appear on the balcony of the Palace
to receive the cheers of their loyal subjects.
The special Empire Hpmage nrogram, in which the Dominions
and some of the colonies will participate, will commence following a
brief pause. Canada's part in this broadcast, which will be heard
throughout the world, will be a prominent one. It will be at the
conclusion of the Homage program that his Majesty will make his
first Empire radio address.
Definite times at which the various phases of the overseas broad-
casts will be heard are still sub,ict to modificatibn, depending en-
tirely upon the official arrangements being made in London. The
CBC, however, which also will feed the broadcasts to the Mutual
Broadcasting System in the United States, will join the BBC at about
4.15 a.m., approximately three quarters.,of an hour before the begin-
ning of the ceremonies. Throughout the rest of the day the CBC
will present special programs from its own studios to the national
network in Canada.
"U.S. and the World War"
On April 6,1917, two years and eight months after Britain arid
her allies •had taken up defensive arms against the . Kaiser's army,
Woodrow. Wilson, President of the United States, read the declaration
of war against Germany which instituted that country's official par-
ticipation in the European conflict. On Friday, April 9, at 7.30 EST,
Jack Kannawin will devote his program, "This Week in History", to
the story of this important event and he will tell something of the
serious problems which the United States faced in malting her de-
cision.
Romance in Hawaii
Bert Pearl, guest-artisting on his own one -pian show in the brief
song and patter feaure to be heard on Saturday, April 10, at 7.30
p.m. EST, will feature his own arrangements of "Poor Robinson
Crusoe", by Stillman, and "Sweet is the Word For You", that high -
rating song success from the new motion picture "Waikiki Wedding".
Pearl will sing and play the numbers and will introduce original lyr-
ics of his own composition. CBG eastern and miwdest networks.
Te Review New Book by Ludwig
Professor J .F. Macdonald will review Emil Ludwig's new book,
"The Nile", for eastern and midwest network listeners of the CBC
on Saturday,. April 10, at '7.45 p.m. EST. This broadcast of "The
Book Review" will be heard from Toronto and will be of particular
interest in view of the fact that any announcement concerning the
world famous biographer is 'news'. "The Nile" is simply described
as a story about "the life of the river". On the same feature there
will be brief discussions of two items of particular interest to Cana-
dians: Kathleen . Strange's new book, "With the West inHer Eyes'"
and Verna Sheard's latest work, a novel about Cobpurg, Ontario,
led "Below the Salt".
Coronation Theme of "Night Shift"
Off to the Coronation!On the night ofAprilr15 upwards
asrds of
600 lucky people will board a: special boat train
Montreal, bound for Saint John and London, England. The CBC
plans to bring listeners the glamour and excitement of this occasino
through its program, "Night Shift", which will be presented that
evening at 10.45 p.m. EST.
RBowman, producer and commentator of the "Night Shift"
series, pis
plans to' use 4 or 5 commentators besides himself for this,
broadcast. 'They` will be in all parts of the station, will meet'taxis
outside, describe the activity of the baggage room, the ticket gate,
and will interview passengers, porters, and members of the train crew.

Barley Competitors
In Livestock Feeds
The greater part of the Canadian
barley crop which enters commerce
is used as live stock feed. It is be-
lieved, however, states the Report of
the Special Barley Committee, that a
better quality of finish of meat ani-
mals, particularly hogs, would result
from its greater use. As a feed, bar-
ley has several competitors. Many
poultrymen and poultry nutritionist:
are not satisfied that barley may
completely replace corn in poultry
rations, but the necessity for economy
during the past few years has con-
vinced many farmers and poultry ex-
tension tworkiers of the merits of
barley and that corn is not essential
in poultry rations where vitamins are
supplied in green feed or in vitamin
carrying oils. Imported corn, how-
ever, will continue to be fed to sev-
eral classes of live stock in ocean
coastal sections under present trade
conditions:
Oats are more generally grown
throughout Canada than barley.
Practically all farmers raise a supply
and ample railway and highway fac-
ilities, offers the most attractive loc-
ation. It is time that the smaller
places in Ontario made known more
generally their many advantages for
industrial plants."
For 'many years we have seen
towns exerting every effort to secure
industries, and one need only think
back a few years to ascertain' the
regret felt in Hanover and other
district towns when an industry
found it impossible to carry on. It
meant something to Hanover and
Durham when the cement mills in
these towns closed down, we know
how hard hit was Wiarton in the loss
of several industries; how Southamp-
ton felt when the Bell Furniture
Company and Kneehtels closed their
plants; the difference it made in
Walkerton when a furniture plant
closed; and how much better off Dur-
ham would be if the sand and gravel
company operated at full blast. Or
take the village of Neustadt —it
collapsed when its furniture plant
closed down:
With all these instances right at
our own door, it should cause our eiti-
zens to reflect on the strange posi-
tion we would be in if Hanover turn-
ed down an ' industry which many
towns would give their right .eye to
possess, -Hanover Post.
of oats to use as feed. Too frequent-
ly, continues the Report, this is used
as hog feed without a proper propor-
tion of barley, and such practice is
evinced in the resulting bacon quality.
Sentiment in support of greater self-
sufficinency i n several provinces
would indicate that efforts will be di-
rected toward securing better balance
in acreage as between these two
crops. -
Feed grade wheat a n d wheat
screenings will continue to compete
with barley as feed. Recleaned wheat
screenings have been found satisfac-
tory for many live stock feeding pur-
poses. The volume of feed grade
wheat varies from year to year and
feeders cannot be sure of securing re-
quirements annually.
The greatest source of competition
for barley comes from bran, shbrts,
middlings, andother mill by-product
feeds. These feeds are supported by
market organizations, salesmanship,
and service such as is not accorded
barley, and on this account are used
out of proportion to their merit as
compared to barley.
Have Formed Unique

An entirely new kind of agricultur-
al cooperative association has jest
been formed at Saskatoon under the
nave of the .Saskatchewan R.O.P.

bers are R.O.P. poultry breeders. The
object of the new association is to
conduct a commercial hatchery, using
only eggs from R.O.P. flocks, which

Repair Agricultural
Machines And Take
Good Care of Harness
'
(Experimental Farms Note)
Agricultural implements and hart
nesses represent a capital investment
of from $800.00 to $2,500.00 on many
farms in Eastern Canada. To secure.
the greatest amount of service from.
this equipment it is very important -
that it be kept in good state of re-
pair. A little attention and a mini-
mum annual expenditure will be
found well worth while. As a rule,
there is sufficient time available dur-•
ing the winter to examine all agricul-
tural implements and put them in
good order for the spring and sum-
mer operations. All temporary re-
pairs should be gone over to make a
good and lasting repair. Care should.
be taken to protect all equipment by
the liberal use of paint and oil for
those parts that cannot be painted.
On the Farnham Experimental Sta-
tion the old oil removal , from the tree--
tor
ree-
for and the automobile is kept and
the parts that cannot be painted,.
such as ploughshares, harrow disks,,
and cultivate shovels are oiled. This
layer of oil given with a brush is an
excellent protection against rust.
Every winter an examination is
made of the harness which is wash-
ed, oiled and finally greased. Alt
broken or unsown parts are repaired.
In this way the harness is in order
when the spring work begins and..
there is no loss of time.
If this examination is made and the
Implements and harness repaired it is.
surprising what little cost is entail-
ed, and the impression will be given
that new equipment has been pur-
chased. During the rush periods of
the spring and summer it will be•
found handy to have the harness and
implements in good order and ready.
The Association has acquired a .y« subscription list, If you are rn ;;'s'I
