Every effort should therefore be made to attain this 'object, and it more than merits the active support and co-operation of the press, and all institutions and organizations interested in the live. stock industry to encourage the`prac- tico of dehorning all horned •commer- cial cattle between March 15 and April 15 or during the month of Oc- tober. eleernearee Champion Egg Eaters Although, compared with some other countries, the per capita con- sumption of poultry in Canada is relatively low, Canada retains the egg -eating championship with 28.36 dozen eggs consumed per head of population in 1932. While the aver- age consumption of poultry by each inhabitant of the United States in that year was about 18 pounds, of which 7.7 pounds . were hens and chickens. Altogether 112,241,206 pounds of poultry and eggs has been relatively well maintained. ' In June last year, according to the bulletin, "The Agricultural Situation," issued by the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture, the number of hens and chickens on farms in Canada was 54,- 943,000. Soft Bacon The further expansion of our ba- con trade with Great Britain depends to a large extent upon quality im- provement. Recent advices from the British market criticize our supplies on the score of underfinish in a large percentage of bacon sides, as indicat- ed by softness and flabbiness. This soft flabby bacon is most likely the product of underfinished hogs, of which there are considerable numbers being marketed at yards and plants in Canada at the present time. The remendy lies with the producer in holding back unfinished hogs. In most .cases, another week or so on feed would put on the finish so ne- cessary for the making of firm bacon, Ail hogs of bacon and select weight should be properly finished at their weights. Underfinish is as detrimen- tal as overfinish, and in this case is a very serious obstacle to efforts .be- ing made to popularize Canadian ba- con with the British consumer. Eve ery hog raiser is asked to co-operate to the best of his ability. ire Raspberry Plantations 'Where manure is not applied to raspberry plantations until the spring, a cover crop is also advisable to prevenb too late growth of cane, As the advent of mosiao disease is making it advisable to renew planta- tions' more frequently, the grower who is unable to get large quantities of manure will find that shorter rota- tion lends itself more to the cover crop and mulch system, for each new plantation may be preeeeded for a season by a crop of clever or alsike which, when turned over, will leave the sail in excellent condition for the new plantation. This method of renewal, say every six years, with proper green manuring, cover erop or mulch, and adequate quantities of commercial fertilizers, will render it possible for raspberry growing ` to take its place ,beside oroharding, in being more or less independent of the failing and increasingly expensive supply of manure. er�ln1 New Egg Grades The revised Dominion egg grading regulations recently -' passed at Ot- tawa are now in force in Ontario for all shipments. The former grade names of fresh specials, fresh extras, firsts, seconds, pullet extras, etc., etc., have been, changed to A-1, A, B, and C, with different weight classifications within each grade. The ehief purpose of the revision is to enable the farmer to be paid on 'Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel necessary 'tor you to feel .healthy and happy, your diver must pour two pounds of liquid bile into Your bowels, every day, -without that bile, trouble etarte.

Market supply prospects are for a moderate volume during the first half of the year, followed by a fairly sub- stantial increase, ub-stantial.increase, prospects for export appear to be satisfactory, and the restrictions existing on exports from foreign countries selling to the Bri- tish market are working quite fav- ourably avourably toward stabilization of pri- ces. Despite the present favourable export outlook improvement inbreed- ing, feeding, selection and processing so as to secure a large percentage top grades of bacon ismuch more desir- able than a marked increase in gen- eral production. brsea More Than $2,000 in Prizes Offered for Malting Barley This province is ideally suited to the growing of first-class malting barley and, with the . purpose of en- couraging the efforts of Ontario in producing this crop, the Ontario and Quebec Brewing Industry has offered prizes amounting to well ov- er two thousand dollars. This was the recent announcement of lion. Tho- mas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agri- culture for Ontario. All Ontario farmers will be eligible for competition, and the media used for exhibiting will include the Win- ter Seed Fairs, Combined Field Crop Competitions, and the Fall Fairs, six- ty of which have already been select- ed. Prizes at the Winter and Seed Fairs will total some two hundred and fifty dollars. Combined Field Crop competitions have been allotted over one thousand dollars; and Fall Fairs' a similar amount. Much pri- zes, and details of competition, will be under the administration of the Superintendent of Agricultural So- cieties, .1. A. Carroll, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. In connection with the Field Crop Competitions, societies have been chosen in areas particularly well- suited to producing the desired qual- ity of barley. All competitors must be paid-up members of an Agricultural Society. There must be at Least ten entries, and not less than eight crops in - spaded. It is further required that only Registered 0. A. C. No. 21 Bar- ley be sown, and that the minimum acreage be five acres. In case where a field entered for competition com- prises more than five acres the entire field will be judged. Before a competitor can qualify for a prize, at least fifty bushels of the crop must .be cleaned to Grade No. 1. Field and bin inspection will be made without cost andle must st Y m be ready for bin inspection and final grading not later than .December 1. Prizes in each competition will be awarded as follows: First, thirty dol- lars; Second, twenty-five dollars; Third, twenty dollars; Faurth, fifteen dollars; Fifth ten dollars, and Sixth, live dollars. Winter and SeedFairs will include Guelph Winter Fair, Ottawa Winter Fair, South -Western Ontario Corn and Seed Exhibition at Chatham, Quente District Seed Flair, and the Ottawa Valley Seed Fair. At each of these exhibitions fifty dollars win be de- tributed in prizes. Eighteen dollars inprize money has been allotted to each of the Fall Fairs, or a total of ten hundred and eighty dollars. No exhibitor may win a prize at more than one Fall Fair. This, how- ever, will not debar the exhibitor from competing at one of the large seed shows or winter fairs. Barley will be judged on its suitability for malting, not for seed. The points de- sired in barley for malting, in order of relative importance are soundness, size and uniformity of kernel; free done from other grains; and freedom from weed seeds and inert matter. Concluding his remarks en this subject, Col. Kennedy said: "While I heartily endorse any movement de- signed to encourage Ontarie farmers the action of the Ontario and Quebec Brewing Industry should have an ev- en more important result than only raising the standard for malting bar- ley. I look for a definite improve/ anent in all Ontario barley; whether grown for malting, feeding, or any other purpose." f INTEREST WHAT OTHER NEWS PAPERS ARE SAYING. A WAY SHOULD DE POUND There must bo some surface water getting away under, the las as the drinking water is murky. 'While the safety of the water is not questioned, it is unfortunate that there is not some inexpensive way of ridding it of clay and other surface materials which affect its appearance and taste in 'spring and fall. It is a genuine trial to those to whom clear sweet water is a very important thing. —Goderich Star,. aoseiroao A WISE .MAYOR A new kind of fixed assessment was introduced this week by Mayor Stewart of Toronto, when he an- nounced that ratepayers of the city of Toronto who would employ work- men now out of work to paint, decor- ate, build sunrooms, porches, veran- dahs, etc., would not be assessed in- creased values. There can be little doubt that this will bo beneficial. The paint, hardware, building maters ial, used have all paid taxes several times already. It is good business to pub them in use. Since the great campaign "Clean up, paint up" of four years ago, not many of our cit- ies are getting very much in the way in increased taxes from such little improvements. Ratepayers have al- ways regarded increased taxes be- cause one fixes up his premises a lit- tle as an objectionable form of taxa- tion. This is true to the extent that it has retarded improvements and decreased sales of necessary mater- ial. Apparently Mayor Stewart is one good and wise Mayor. —Listowel Standard. veenessme As Canada's judicial system is mod- eled after that of Great Britain, it is interesting to learn that the mother country has discharged its last grand jury. On this occasion a prominent Britisher, learned in the law, declared: "Over many years Parliament has raised so many pro- tections against improper convic- tions, that the necessity for the ser- vices of grand juries has gradually diminished. So plentiful are the bar- riers raised in defense of an accused person that it is surprising that pri- soners are convicted at all." This statement is equally applicable to Canada. The grand jury has become superfluous and a wholly unwarrant- ed burden upon the public treasury.

THE FARMERS' OPPORTUNITY The recent announcement that the Stevens Committee at Ottawa is go- ing to investigate the position of the farmers is good news to the majority of Canadians, Tho farmers' plight has always been a difficult one and es farming constitutes one of the major industries of Canada it is well within the scope of the investigating committee. This looks like a very definite ops portunity for the farmer to place his case before the Government at Ot- tawa. One thing the farmers must remember is that they should pre- sent to the Government accurate re- cords, if possible. There is not much use in going be- fore such a committee and stating that the loss in 1933 on a farm was $500.00 unless records are available to show how such a loss is arrived at. Among the progressive farmers of Bruce and the surrounding counties there are doubtless a number who keep emirate records of receipts and expenditures. These men will be doing a great service to their indus- try by cooperating in an effort to plaee all the facts as to the position of the farmer before the Stevens Committee. We hope that those who are presenting the case for the farm- ers will receive such co-operation; If the facts are reliable and well pre- sented the farmer can look forward hopefully to a betterment of his con- dition during the next few. years. —Kincardine Review -Reporter. MUST SIFT THE FACTS Evidence presented at the Stevens enquiry in Ottawa has made many disclosures regarding law wages and unfair working conditions. In con- sidering the evidence presented, it should be remembered however, that only one side of the case has been presented so far and that there has been nab a little hearsay testimony. It will be the duty of the committee, after hearing all sides of the ques- tions raised, to sift the facts and give an impartial judgment, upon which either federal or provincial ac- tion may be taken to remove existing, abuses. Whether or not these abuses are corrected by legislation, the in- formation disclosed will have an affect upon public opinion that will do much to get rid of the unfair practices. —Barrie Examiner. e.Ara A TALL STORY "During that last cold spell when I was splitting wood," says a northern farmer, "my axe froze right in the President of the United Farmers of Ontario Asks Aid of Government Assistance Offered Not Acceptable Dear Mr. Editor: As seeding time approaches many farmers in Ontario find themselves without grain suitable for seed and without money to buy seed. Many also are without sufficient credit to secure it. Having received so little for their work during the past three years it is through no fault of their own that they are confronted with this diffi- culty, Surely under the circumstan- ces they deserve some assistance. If no assistance is given them thous- ands of acres of good land will be sown with grain unfit for seed and perhaps with seed having a high weed seed. content. Believing that the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture would gladly take the matter up and come to the assistance of the farmers in even a small way in this emergency, R. J.. Scott, President of the United Far- mers of Ontario, Byron Young, U.F. 0. Director for Lambton, and 11.' H. Hannam, Secretary. U.F.O., inter- viewed Colonel T. L. Kennedy, Min- ister of Agriculture, a few weeks ago, placing the matter before, him. They suggested that the provincial government either pay the freight on carload lots or give a bonus amount- ing to say 10 cents a bushel which would permit first quality seed oats to be purchased at around 50c a bushel, and that some provision be. made for extending credit tothose who needed it until the first of Oc- tober.' That seemed but a very rea- sonable and moderate request. They. also assured the Minister that U.F. 0. clubs and farmers' ,co-operatives' Would eo-operate with the depart - anent in distributing the grain. They explained that the, circum- stances warranted the bonusing of this seed as a relief measure, point- ing out that farm people eontribut smallest part of relief expenditures. They called to his attention also that the bonusing of pure bred ,bulls was now established as a regular feature of his government's programme. it such can be justified as a regular policy, they argued, Would not the bonusing of seed grain as a relief or emergency measure be even more justifiable ,Colonel Kennedy received the suggestion very favorably and advis- ed •that the government would give the proposal eareful consideration, About ten days later, simultaneously with an announcement in the Legis- lature, Colonel Kennedy announced. that theonly action the government would take in the matter was to "ask the county councils to appeal to the banks to secure loans under section 88 of the Banking Act for the pur- chase of seed grain in order to as- sist those farmers within their nun. icipality who applied to them for credit. In the event of the counties losing any money in connection with the repayment of these loans the government is prepared to accept two-thirds of the responsibility, pro- viding that the counties accept one- third:' This means of course that the government hasdecided to take no initiative in the matter. It has de- cided to do nothing about giving a bonus`te enable farmers to purchase. good seed. It has decided to do nothing about giving a .bonus to creditless farmers except ask the county councils to do it -and in the event of ;losses it wilI bear two- thirds of the losses.

In 193z, a fifth of the direct relief expenditure . on unem- ployment relief was written off, and it was announecd that this practice would be continued, so that the whole amount would be wiped out in five years. In 1983, not only were pay- ments for the previous year suspend- ed, but the whole of the ,direct relief expenditure for last year, amounting to $10,995,286, was capitalisd,' If the practice begun in 1932 had been con- tinued, the Financial Post estimates that there would have been a deficit of $2,428,569, instead of the announce ed' surplus- ,of $476,425. Paradoxical as it may seem,, we believe it would have been better politics for the Government to admit a deficit, and say bow it came about, than. to an. nounce a surplus which will not stand analysis. A. statement that will startle the people of Ontario is the assertion made by Mr. W. 'E. N. Sinclair that of the $186,000,000 spent on provin- cial highways not a dollar has been paid in cash. When the gasoline tax was imposed, it was understood that it would provide for the cost of con- structing highways on the pay-as- you-go principle. At the present rate it will not be long till the whole revenue from motor cars will be needed to meet interest on the huge highway debt, the principal of which will have to be paid from other sour- ces. Before that point is reached, a halt should be called, and arrange. ments made to amortise the debt out of highway revenue. Building high- ways en borrowed money without ony provision for meeting ,the debt cer- tainly is not sound finance. As Sir Henry Drayton remarked last week, we. are only fooling our- selves if we imagine there are sur- pluses while millions are being added to the public debt. What the people ask of our public .nen is a straight- forward statement of the facts upon which they can depend. Money spent upon direct relief cannot .. by any stretch of the imagination be look- ed upon as capital expenditure. Like war eutlays, it may be inevitable to borrow for the purpose because of the emergency, but in doing so we are laying burdens uponposterity for which we give them no asset. As it is, there is so much juggling with figures that people don't know where they are at. This is by no means confined to the Government side, There is, for -instance, thechargethat the Government 'paid $90 for Abitibi bonds that were selling in the open market for $21, a statement which ignores the fact that there was a distinct difference in the character of the two bonds. The effeet of such statements on those who have some idea of the facts is to shake confid- ence in the bona fides of the men who make them.—Orillia Packet -Times.

Such a board may be es- tablished by the council after a by- law has been submitted to the rate- payers and approved by a majority. The parks board would have powers regarding finances similar to those of a school trustee board. The re- quisition would have to be submit- ted to the town council in the same way and the latter would Ievy a spes cial rate to collect this amount, which would then be turned over to the parks board.
