Furnished by the Department of Agriculture ) Reduced Freight Rate An important reduction in freight rates on certain export cattle :from feeder points in Eastern Canada to Montreal, St. John and Halifax, is announced in advices to the Ontario Marketing Board. The reduction ap- plies only to cattle in transit, that is cattle to which the railways had pre viousiy carried to the feeder points. The rate will be cut ]n half and will mean a saving to the farmer ship- ping, for example, frpm a point in Ontario to St. John or Halifax, of approximately $30 a carload. a Choosing the Breeding Male Where pedigree breeding of pouI- try is followed, the first choice male should be one that has passed through a breeding season and has shown bythe production of his daughters that he has the ability to pass on the desired characters for the high production of large sized eggs. The second choice should be a cock- erel selected for vigour, size and breed type, from a heavy laying large egg dam and a sire similarly bred, whose daughters, the cockerel's sisters, have shown their ability for high production. Where pedigree breeding is not followed, it will pay to purchase' males such as these. ' Agricultural Conventions Feb. 1.2—Ontarid Vegetable Grow- ers' Association, Toronto.

Reforestation Encouraged Continuing its campaign to stimu- late the reforestation of waste areas in the province and to encourage the planting of trees by farmers, .the Ontario Forestry ,Branch announces that owing to the fact that it has on hand a surplus of trees this year, the former limit of 3,500 trees for reforestation purposes to one per- son will not be adhered to and that no charge will be made for addition- al quantities over this number. For windbreak purposes, however, iia in- crease 'in numberwill be made, 500 being the limit to each applicant. It is interesting in this connection to note that the Ontario Statutes de- clare that "any part of a farm used for forestry purposes or being' ",woodland" is exempt from taxes, provided that such exemptions shall not begreater than one acre in ten acres of such farm and not more than twenty acres held under a sin- gle ownership. in-gle_ownership. i Choosing a Fertilizer Mixture While it is customary to select a fertilizer mixture which has been found specially adapted to the crop to be, grown, the nature and past, treatment of the soil should also be taken into consideration. For exam- ple, if the soil is of a very light san- dy nature the fertilizer should con- tain a good percentage of potash but on heavy clay loans only a small a- mount of this element may be' re- quired by the plant for early growth. On soils which have recently been well manured and are well supplied' with organic matter, a fertilizer re- latively high in phosphoric acid may be, ;required for maximum crop pro- duction. Fresh. Lamb Season Longer As Result of Experiment • The Ontario Marketing .Board states that as a result of an ex- periment conducted by the Dominion Government, fresh -killed lamb will be easily available to consumers, throughout the remainder of the winter. Last fall„ some 3,000 lambs were brought to Ontario from Saskatche- wan, and- placed for finishing with 26 farmers in the vicinity of Toronto. After making unusually great gains, these animals are now going to the killing plants, and will be placed on the market gradually during the next four •or five weeks. • ':Being fresh -killed, and finished on grain, the quality and flavour of this variety of lamb is as different from frozen lamb as a milk -fed chicken is from the ordinary variety. Formerly, all Canadian Iamb was marketed in the fall, with a limited portion held over for the Christmas trade. However, in order to spread the season for fresh lamb, and to in- crease the market for Ontario grain, the Dominion Government assisted in bringing these western lambs, into Ontario. Judging by the success of the ex- periment, this procedure will be made a regular practice in future. 1 Time For Farmers to Take Stock. The important work of taking stock and making a plan for farming operations during the coming crop season should not be delayed any longer. Tho farmer who does this will be able to order his fertilizers, spraying material, insecticides; etc., in good time. It will enable him to cut out unprofitable cows, and hens, and other animals, and show him where by better farming methods more adequate fertilization, etc., he can cut the costs of production. eameseces Ship Purebred Dairy Cattle to Britain "The Ontario Government is as- sisting dairymen of the Province td open the British market for pure bred dairy cattle," Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, announced recently. "In view of the restrictions recent- ly placed on the importation of Irish cattle into Great Britain and the greater demand for milk resulting from the operations of the British Milk Marketing .Scheme the possibil- ities of export from. Canada of dairy cattle to• England seem very consid- erable," the Minister continued, "and there is no reason why our high class dairy cows could not meet the demand once all the facts are known. "Some dairy •tows of grade type have been going over to Great Britt ain during the last few months and have had a very favorable reception and these •shipments have given Bri- tish dairy farmers some idea of the elate ° of tattle Ontario is ready to supply. The Government through the Ontario Marketing Board has ar- ranged with the holstein -Friesian Association to send over an experi- mental shipment to try out the Bri- tish market for high grade Holstein cows of the finest Oxford County type obtainable.' All 'animals are thoroughbred, from accredited herds, tuberculin tested and blood -tested, The shipment comprises a selection' from twenty Oxford herds and is made up of cows from four to six years old, mostly all heavy spring- ers. The animals are in splendid condition and are from stocks with average records around 16,000 to 17,000. pounds of milk for 365 days. "R. M. Holtby,, Fieldman of the Holstein-Ftiesian Association and well-known Holstein authority is ac- companying the shipment to fully Make known the merits of Ontario'q large high producing pure :bred cows and to make a connection on the Bri- tish market to provide it with the type of Canadian' dairy cattle now se much appreciated by American dairy experts for their high production re- cords. "This is the first experimental shipment, and will likely be followed by shipments of other distinctive dairy types if this one proves suc- cessful." The Soybean and It's Adaptability Judging by the yearly increase in acreage of soybeans in Western On - :Melo this crop is 'destined to became •of •major importance in this district. 'gust stop and consider the uses made 77 �. of soybeans at present. It would ap- pear that this importance is justified on the grounds that favourable clim- atic and soil conditions exist tooth - et' with the fact that the cro.: County Council (Continued freta' page 2) Improvement Act to prevent the use of public credit in financing of private real estate ventures and td afford dominant owners 01 property more effective means of protecting themselves against et to 1 improve, ment assessments, which under' ex- isting legislations often deprive them of their property without their hav- ing been consenting parties and that a better means be provided than at present exists for ratepayers to ,in form themselves generally as to the economic and engineering sound- ness of projects on which they are called upon to vote was referred to legislative committee.

A Ietter was read from Dr. Jamie- son, on the Mothers' Allowance Board in which he suggested that Mr. Holman, the former clerk, be very well into rotations. The feet that introducing soybeans to a ro- tation means the addition of another 1leguminous crop is a feature worthy of note. The soybean is also the greatest seed producer of any le- gume crop and the seed contains the largest percent of protein of any of the commonly grown grains. As a dual purpose crop it may be grown' either for seed or as an annual hay crop when other seedlings fail. Af- ter the soybeans have been .subjected to the oil extraction process a meal is obtained which is a high -protein concentrate ranking with linseed and cotton -seed meal in this respect. The popularity of this meal among dairy farmers and others is increasing, These few features alone would seem to indicate the possibilities of this crop obtaining an important place in the agriculture of this district. So far we have considered soy- beans as a whole, but we should re- member that a number of varieties have been selected to take care of the wide range of climatic conditions which exist in. Western Ontario as well as in other districts in Canada. Considerable work has been carried on during the past ten years in sel- ectingand testing numerous soybean varieties. Pour varieties have been selected as best suited to cover the range of seasons under which soy- beans are grown at present. The four varieties are: A.. K., Manhcu, 0. A.'C. 211, and Mandarin. These varieties comprise the best yielding• variety in each maturity group. A. K. is the latest variety, maturing in 131 days, while Mandarin is the earliest, maturing in 108 days. All four varieties produce yellow beans —a, very desirable fact both in oil extraction and in the manufacture of. by-products from soybean cake. The following table offers a 'comparison( in yielding ability of beans and the days required for maturity. Yield per acre Basis Avg. No. of Variety Beans ' Days Required (avg. 7 years) to mature bus, A. R. 37.29 f 131 Manchu . . 34.87 128 O, A..C. 211 33.05 121 Mandarin .. . 29.62 108 The later maturing varieties usu- ally produce higher yields than those which mature at an earlier date. Re- sults covering a seven-year' •period show that A. K. is the heaviest yield- er on the Harrow Station and is well adapted to this immediate die- triet as far east as Chatham. This( A'. K. soybean variety was developed on the. Dominion Experimentalt .. S a. tion at Harrow. A very interesting study on the oil and protein content of these beans has been conducted over'a four -yea' period. Analyses show that the A. K. variety contains the highest per- centage of oil of any of the four var- ieties considered. 'lin consequence, A. K. has produced :the greatest num- bet of pounds of oil per acre of any variety under consideration. This point is very important where beans are used for oil extraction purposes. These results are conclusive, and definitely indicate that the most pro- fitable variety of soybeans for any particular locality is ` the highest yielding variety that will mature in the . d 0 retained on the local board as chair- man as ho considered his work well done. Tho communication was tab. led, The application for Corn Borer Inspector of Ross Johnston, R. R. 2, Zurich, was sent to the executive committee. A new resolution was requested Bank the B nk of Commerce regarding the signing of cheques by the offir cern; whether by the treasurer alone or O'K'D by the Warden. Executive committee; The report of Registrar Ne'eb' showed total number ofregistrations as 2,202 and fees $4,748.25. A letter was received from the Canadian National •Institute for the, Blind asking for a donation. It was moved last year that $100 be sent but this was not done. Mr. Camp. bell was called on to speak to the Council on behalf of the Institute. He referred to the tremendous amount of work the association does, both for the membees and others. Last year 23 blind and one prevention case was looked after in Huron County. Now that the affairs in the county are pretty well cleared up the organiza- tion hopes for a generous donation. The Warden said that he was sure the matter would be treated sym- pathetically. It was moved that this should be put on file. a. M. Govenlock, Inspector of the House of Refuge reported 87 in- mates.

Operating ex, penses and teachers' salaries have beet reduced to a minimum. in most cases. The number of transfers from schools has been increased greatly, In 1933 there, were 263 as compared with 237 in 1932. Attendance show- ed marked improvement over : the previous year. Mr. Beacom urged trustees to offer indueement to pu- pils to attend regularly and remind- ed the Council that the Government pay $1 per ehild for average atten- dance. In answer to Reeve Bow- man he said the fourth year. in Con- tinuation schools was not working so satisfactorily in schools with only two teachers. May Close Schools . In West Huron there are 101 'tea. chers in rural districts and 25 in ur- ban centres with more men entering the profession and an increase in the number holding first class certi- ficates. Due to cutting' of grants by the •Department the legislative and county grants this year were $17,- 893.25 as compared with $23,872.35 in 1932. Mention was made by both inspectors of the new law that schools with less than eight pupils will be closed, may affect some schools in the county in the near future. A large number of Fifth, Classes have been maintained in the county. Last year 595 of the entrance candidates were successful, a great improve- ment over previous years: ` Three Higgh' School entrance centres were done away with for economic• reasons., Fotlr School Fairs were held in West THURS., FEB. 1,'1934 T FARM ER Huron and one in East.. A joint meeting of teachers of East and West' Huron was held in Goderich and was one of'tne most successful in years, All townships have paid their grants in full.

Regarding improvements to Salt- ford Hill and at Aubarn, . these pro- jects must be considered in conjunc- tion with the reconstruction of the bridges adjacent, which will have to be undertaken in the course of a few years. Suggestions for this work were offered by the county engin- eer. The engineer recommended that the county take advantage of the provincial and, dominion govern- ment's assistance toward unemploy ment relief especially on rural roads. Some roads' in Huron County that are in need of -improvement and might be undertaken are Dashwood east, Kippen east, Logan -McKillop boun- dary, McKillop -Grey boundary east of Walton, Turnberry and Morris, east of Bluevale, Grey and Howick, east of Turnberry boundary, Division line, east and west Wawanosb, Ash- field and West Wawanosh. townline north of Dungannon, along concession 2, Turnberry, Genie south, baseline; Ifullett.

Afternoon 'Session E. IL Erskine, the ,new county treasurer, said he would not make any recommendations as he was not yet familiar with the finances' of the county. HIe, informed council that he has; drawn up a list of the elands liable to sale for taxes for 1934, and had sent a copy to each municipality. He asked .the reeves to have the lo- cal auditors check these lisbs,•and if not correct to notify the treasurer at once so that it can be corrected. He advised them to watch the tax sale and if any properties inay, be classed as' "dead horses," to let the municipalities redeem these, andetake them off the county records. He re- commended that Mr. Gibbs be hired to complete the audit of the past year. In fairness to Miss Monteith and himself, be' advised that the former be retained until the audit is completed. Bills from officers should be- "0. K.'d" by the head of a department using the material and then the clerk can go ahead and order it. The of. fico will be open at all times for any information or assistance. The financial statement of the treasurer showed the total receipts of $357,480.88; disbursements $370,- 717.97;. carryover of bank •loan at Jan. 1, 1933, $50,000; bank loans: dur- ing 1933,.$148,000; bank loans repaid, $147,000; carryover at Jan. 1, 1934, $51,000; note repaid, $6,000; carry- over, $45,000; county highways car- ryover at Jan. 1, 1933, $80,000; bank loans for 1933, 399,000; total, $179,- 000; notes repaid to bank, $125,000; carryover at Jan. 1, $54,000; estimat, ed subsidy from the Government, $45,000; balance, $9,000, January 2, 1934, repaid to bank $9,000 which practically balances county highways account. Provincial highways: Cash receiv- ed on rates to Dec. 31, $41,604.53; Jan. 2, 1934, cash front Ashfield Township, $2,686,66; debenture paid 212,950.46; Dept. of Highways, (1932), $13,951.63; notes repaid in bank, ,$17,236.74; cash in bank, $132.- 36. A discussion followed the treas- urer's report on the propriety of is- suing debentures to take care of out, standing loans, Enquiries Made Reeve Eckert wanted to know why a magistrate in Seaforth, who wants to send out a warrant, has to send to Goderich for an officer to have it served. Reeve Sanders said the way in his opinion was to ap- point a county constable on a fee system, but not a salary. Reeve Ballantyne informed the council that Mr. Gibbs thought the cost of an audit of the treasurer's books from August 16, 1933, ,tto Jan, 1, 1934, would be approximately' $140 and $40 expenses, and could be done by two men in a week. Reeve Turner objected, He said if the books were left in first-class condition, why should it cost so much now, and take two men a week. Finally a motion sponsored by Reeves Eckert and Sweitzer that the Council offer Mr. Gibbs $100 includ- ing his expenses for auditing the books from Aug. 16 to Dec. 31, 1933, was amended on motion of Reeves Bowman and Munnings that the of- fer to Mr, Gibbs be 8100 to complete; the audit to Jan. 1 and allow $25 for expenses. Reeve Sanders in the early after- noon, asked that the members ob- serve more strict adherence to par- liamentary rules and greater dignity in the meetings. He pointed out the benefit to be derived educationally from them. H. T. Edwards, Superintendent of the Children's Shelter, reported there were eleven children in the Shelter, nine of whom are at school. There were only twelve cases in the juven- ile court for the County for the year 1938. None were sent to the Indus. trial. School. The 'Crippled Children's Work is well carried on by the the Lions Clubs. Seven children were adopted last year and eleven the year before. Ian McLeod, Agricultural Repre- sentative's report was read by Reeve Cardiff, , in which a detailed state- ment was . given of office finances and the work being done. Fifteen meetings have been arranged to be held throughout the County. Mr. Barr, of Blyth, came before the Council representing a woman in Blyth, who had applied for . Mother's Allowance on Nov. 28. Her applies.: tion was sent back from Toronto to County officials for correction and was never returned. Being ineligible now for the Mother's Allowance and as the government cannot pay back claims, her only resource was to ap- peal to the County Council far a''don- ation.

Thursday A resoultion was presented to the County Council on Thursday petition- ing the Provincial Government of On- tario to take over and assume the Buewater Highway as a provincial" undertaking as part of their relief program. The motion sponsored by - Reeves Matheson and Haake was handed over to the Good Roads Com- mittee. The co-operation of the Counties of Lambton and Bruce will be asked to include this in their pro- gram to hook up the Biuewater High- way as a provincial highway. Much comment centred around' an- other motion by Reeves Gamble and Cardiff, that students driving per- mits from 7 o'clock to 9 a.m. and from 4 to 6 o'clock p.m. be issued to those competent to drive when cer- tified by the Principal that they are duly qualified students. It was con- tended ontended by some who opposed the idea that at the present time young peo- ple are skipping around the side roads to evade the traffic officers rather than obey the law. They should be taught to obey, not evade.. The question will be further deliber- ated by the Legislative Committee, and a copy of the resolution sent to• the Minister of Education. "That this County Council send a resolution to the Ontario Govern- ment asking to have the Highway Traffic Act amended that car owners be not responsible for accidents to • passengers to whom they happen to ' give a ride, was another resolution before council It was revealed that many County Councilors had to come to Goderich by rail via Stratford.
