These will likely be !marketed in 1934 if present prices ar maintained. In addition, depression conditions have increased home spin- ning and weaving, as well as other textile handicrafts, relieving the Can- adian market of from five to six mil- lion pounds of wool per annum. Many times the advice is given in the fall of the year to "burn out the fence rows" to get rid of harmful weeds and insects. This, no doubt, is a •good policy from those standpoints, but it should be kept in mind that it is distinctly harmful to any type of wire fence. Zinc melts at a coin paratively low temperature and the heat from burning grass or weeds is often sufficient to scorch the protec- tive coating and will probably short- en by several seasons the useful. life of the fence. Weekly Crop Report Pasture conditions have been won- derfully improved since the heavy rains of September, according to re- ports from many sections of Ontario, and cattle should go into winter quar- ters in good condition as a result. Fall wheat, alfalfa fields and pas - ,tures are all showing splendid growth. In many counties the corn crop is the best in many years and corn cribs will be well-filled. Heidi - mend County has experiencedsome difficulty with rot in potatoes owing to the abundance of moisture, and farmers are harvesting the crop with all possible haste. From Frontenac comes the report that farmers are not reducing their herds to the same extent as last year, thus indicating that the feed problem Is not as crit- ical as a year ago. 0. A. C. Team Third The dairy cattle judging team of the Ontario Agricultural College placed third, only five points behind the winners, among the 16 teams competing in the inter -collegiate judging competition at the Waterloo Dairy Congress. Cornell University • was first%and Tennessee second. The Ontario team consisted of A. C, McTaggart, Appin; R. T. Jefferson, Melton; J. A. Dalrymple, Ssnithville, and W. A. Muir, Woodstock, all fourth-year student,,. They were coached bp Prof. George E. Raithby of the Animal husbandry Depart- ment. The team placed second in Holstein judging, fourth in Jerseys, sixth in Ayrshires, ninth in Guern- seys, and tenth in Brown Swiss. In- dividually, Mr. M'acTeggart was fourth in the whole competition and third in Jersey judging. Jefferson was fifth in judging all breeds and ninth in Ayrshires. Dalrymple was third in Ayrshire judging. Menace of Low Grade Seed Low grade seed is a menace to the reputation of Canada in the ex- port markets and a drug in the do- mestic market. The marketing of seeds in general in the last three or four years has been attended by ser- ious difficulties and compartively low prices to growers, but has at least taught the value of producing a high grade product., No. 1 seed has al- most always sold at a profitable price, while low rade seed has been unsale- able or sold at a loss to the grower. It should be the practice of every grower to save seed only from clean fields, so that it may be cleaned to grade No. 1. Marketing, Geese The time to prepare geese for mar- ket is when the weather turns cold in the fall, They should then be taken off pasture and those selected for market shouldbe placed insmalI pen- ned enclosures, provided with plenty of water and grit and kept clean. They should be fed heavily on whole corn, the best medium for the fatten- ing of geese, and about two weeks' heavy feeding should fit them for market. Twenty-four hours before killing geese should be starved, but given plenty of water. Care should be used in plucking, the dry or steam methods being recommended, foil the reason that the feathers are partic- ularly valuable, bringing as much as 60 cents per pound. The dressed bird. should be rubbed over with a damp cloth and set aside to cool. The twelve -bird box makes a desirable market package., Canadian Vireo) Demand One of the ,most encouraging fac- tors in so far as Canadian wools are concerned is the increasing use of Canadian wools by Canadian manu- facturers. Well -graded wools, wheth- er co-operatively consigned for offi- cial grading from producers' ship- ments, or, whether graded by, wool brokers, are in steady demand for immediate mill requirements. There are still some lots of wool in farmers' bands, having been held over from When to Apply Lime A test of the soil should be made to make sure that it requires lime. If the soil proves to be acid then the answer to the question when to apply lime might be "when you have time." Lime is for the benefit of all crops in the rotation, but particularly of bene- fit to legumes. The best time is pos- sibly just before soweng a grain crop that is seeded down with alfalfa or clovers, Liming land plowed for fall wheat which is to be seeded with clover in the spring is a convenient and satisfactory practice. Lime is not a fertilizer, but simply neutral- izes the acidity of the soil and should be thoroughly worked into the soil during the preparation of a seed bed to become efficient. It is poor busi- ness to farm land that is lacking in lime and strongly acid in reaction. The productive power of the soil is reduced when it becomes acid. "Cor- recting this condition with the use of ground limestone increases the effic- iency of the manures and fertilizers applied and therefore contributes to the cutting down of costs of crop pro- duction.

Conditions are more backward in the Northern Alberta and Peace River areas where much gra.:.. . ens - threshed and some cm.rse grains un- cut. The frosts and wet weather of recent weeks have lowered grades. In Quebec the weather has been fav- orable for harvesting and crops are up to average, exceptions being ap- ples and to some extent tobacco. In Ontario root crops have been further improved by recent good weather. Pastures generally are now in excel- lent condition and an average to good crop of corn is .being cut. In New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island crops are proving ;satisfactory. In Nova Scotia field crops are short due to drought but late apples promise a fair average crop. In British Colum- bia, where,erops generally have been good harvesting is continuing under favourable conditions. Province of Ontario Fall• wheat seeding operations are completed and growth to date has been very satisfactory. Threshing of spring grains is nearing :complet- ion.' Recent good weather conditions have promoted late growth of root crops and potatoes particularly will show a better than average yield. Yields of onions and beams are below average and spotty. Harvesting of tobacco on considerably reduced acre- age is practically completed. The yield of. blue tobacco of fair quality being about 35 per cent. under the early, estimate. The .Burley tobacco yield is up to average and the qual- ity good. ,Grapes are being cut and the bulk of the crop has been con- tracted for at $40. to $45. a ton. The yield of pears was ,close to average, but apples, peaches and plums were a light crop. Range for Farm Poul- try Breeding Stock (Experimental Perms Note) Range is one of the essentials in. developing vigorous, thrifty chickens; The brooder house should be located so that the young :chicks may run out on plots that, are clean and free from parasites, which are almost cer- tain to occur wherever older poultry have been. Chicks thrive best when they can run out in the sun whenever the weather permits. The area of range should be ex- tended as the chickens get their fea- thers. When the cockerels develop comb,the sexes should be segregated and given the equivalent of free range or sufficient so that they will not eat off the turf to make -the -field bare. When nearing maturity, if range shelters are provided, the pul- lets and cockerels will greatly bene- fit if allowed free range on separate grain fields after the harvest has been saved. In this way they should secure a large part of their food at very little cost for a month or more. Breeding stock should have range during the early spring when hatch- ing eggs are being laid, even though there may be snow on the ground. The pens need not be large but a run in the sunshine is believed to im- prove fertility. At the Dominion Ex- perimental Station at Charlottetown we have not been able to give the hens range during their pullet laying year. During this period it is very doubtful if allowing them range would increase production, in fact many claim that if given all other requirements, the pullets will lay best in confinement. The yearling hens that, on account of their high production and other desirable qualities of type and breed- ing, are selected for the mating pens for the following season, should be allowed free range as soon as their pullet year is completed. They might be given the range shelters mention. ed above and allowed to run free on the grain fields after harvest. A colony house placed near a straw stack makes a very suitable shelter and the straw provides plenty of ex- ercise for the hens as they search for the stray grain that remains on the straw or among the chaff. The Work of The Dominion Marketing Board The Dominion Marketing Board, which was established recently, has had many problems to deal with dur- ing its brief existence.Since the Nat- ural Products Marketing Act is new legislation to most parts of Canada there is considerable uncertainty con• cerning its method of operation. The nature and volume of correspondence suggests that the Board will be cal- led upon to deal with a great variety of problems. Two schemes .which had been pre- pared by interested groups prior to the establishingof the Board have been dealt with and approved. One of these provides for the regulation of the exportation of apples and pears; the other deals with the mar- keting of British Columbia tree fruits. Both schemes appear to be operating with realtively little diffi- culty. There ismueh interest concerning the procedure in submitting schemes and a little impatience at what ap- pears to be delay in dealing with them. In that connection it should be noted that a scheme for the market. ing of a product must be submitted by farmers or persons engaged in marketing. It is not the function of the Dominion Board to prepare schemes, for the industry. When 'a scheme has been prepared, it must be submitted to the Minister of Agricul- ture at Ottawa with a petition indi- cating the amount of support back of the proposal. If the lylinister le satisfied that those_ making the sub- mission represent adequatelythe producers of the persons engaged in marketing, he will submit the scheme to the Marketing Board. Schemes cannot be dealt with has- tily. They request powers which are quitesignificantand have an iinpor- tent bearing on many people and INTEHEST many interests: When a scheme reaches the Dominion 143arketing Board it is first examined to deter- mine whether it is in proper order for consideration, This may require; cor- respondencewith those submitting the schemes, as frequently the pro- visions are not clear. The effect of the scheme on producers and consum- ers must then be considered. If the scheme is to deal with export trade,: consideration of its effect on the im- porting country and its reception by competitors must be given, It must be reviewed in the light of interna tional relations and trade agreements. The legality of the proposals includ- ed in the scheme and their relation- ship to other acts and regulations of the government must be studied. A. number of hearings maybe necessary in connection with a single scheme. It is obvious that, a good deal of investigational work must precede the approved • of any scheme. The time required for this will depend up- on the nature of the proposal and the thoroughness with which preliminary Work has been done by those submit- ting the schemes but in !any ease it may ordinarily be a matter of several weeks and possibly months. The Dominion Marketing Board has a number of schemes dealing with a variety of products under considera- tion. During the past week five dele- gations have been heard by the Board with reference to different schemes. Those interested in the Marketing Bill may receive a copy on application to the Secretary, Dominion Market- ing Board, Ottawa. HURON TEACHERS HOLD SUCCESSFUL MEETING East and West Inspectorates Combine for Annual Gathering Dr. Field Would, Like School Fairs Resumed A record crowd marked the annual teachers' convention of East and West Huron in MacKay Hall, ,Gode- rich, on Thursday last, when about 250 of the learned profession assemb- led to discuss projects • and various methods of teaching the subjects on the curriculum. The opening exer- cises were conducted by Rev. WI. P. Lane, Reeve Munnings, owing to the ill- ness of Mayor C. C. Lee, welcomed the teachers on behalf of the towns- people and expressed the hope that they would enjoy their sojourn in Goderich. He commended the tea- chers on the choice of their profes- sion and wished them all success in it. The East Huron librarian's report was read by Dr. J. M. Field, and that of West Huron was read by J. E. Smith of Victoria School, Goderich. E, C. Beacom, inspector for public schools in West Huron, spoke of the new method of having only one day of assembly for the convention, Mr. Beacom said that the second day would be spent in visiting other schools. Notice will be given the in- dividual teachers telling them when they are to go and to what school. They will be notified within the next two or three weeks, said the inspec- tor. Dr. Field, inspector for East Hu- ron, said he was prepared to adopt the plan of Mr. Beacons in having the teachers spend their second day ob- serving another teacher's methods of working, but he was going to allow them to make their own arrange- ments. Dr. Field asked the teachers to write to him and tell him of what they had learned during this second day. Later H. M. Shackleton, presi- dent of the East Huron Teachers' As- sociation suggested that the valuable points that Dr. Field will undoubted- ly receive in the'letters be printed in the form of a booklet.. G. M. Keeler, president of the West Huron Association, gave an address on the "Importance of Education." He gave out some valuable pointers to the teachers and stated that educa- tion is important for the character of the child. He quoted the highly effi- cient educational system of some of the leading seats of learning in the world today. He felt that a well-balanced edu- cation is essential in the life of a mod- ern child. The speaker also contend- ed that physical training and good health were necessities that could not be overlooked. These were facts that were proven during the World War. Mr. Keeler said that education is important in promoting • world peace and that school is the place to illustrate clearly the futility of war to men and women. Professor Is Speaker The highlight of .the program, came next with the introduction of Prof. G. M. Cornish of the Ontario College of Education, who was the special spea- ker of the convention. Inspector Bea- com in introducing Professor Cornish stated thathe had edited several school textbooks including a geog- raphy textbook which was now largely used. Prof. Cornish said that geography deals wih the earth and that all sciences are a description of some part of the earth..'He said that the present view of the subject is that it is a study of relationships. Accord- ing to Prof. Cornish, people are af- fected greatly by the various phen- omena of the earth. ''Various eiiniates- affect, various parts of the. body. Geo- graphic conditions affect the mental- ity and even the religious attitude of the peoples of the world. "If a man, is selecting a farm it is the geogra- phic conditions that he looks at, said the professor. I3e told the teachers that in teach- ing a lesson to take things that de- velop out of one another. He is M. clined to think that teachers are too much impressed with logic in teach- ing little children, "Their little minds are not made to study things Iogieally, but they learn things and should be taught through their interests and should be, allowed to express their ideas. Geo- graphy as taught in schools is unin- teresting. Too much is taught that is not necessary and if teachers would take topics that appeal to the chil- dren they would have eager, interest- ed pupils." Mervin Stephens, conducting a class in picture study, told the eon- yention that he was going to try to outline a study of hearty apprecia- tion for second book pupils. With a class of four small girls Mr. Stephens began his work and by more or less leading his pupils on soon had them interested in their study and answer- ing with eagerness and promptness. Miss M. Pentland of Dungannon of- fered two vocal solos in fine voice. She was accompanied by Miss A. Howell. Combined Efforts 1.fiss M. Ellis, of Hensell, in an ad- dress on "Modern Methods of Health Teaching," said that the Departments of Health and Educateon were combin- ing their efforts to improve health conditions in schools. Miss Ellis be- lieves that health is of far greater importance to. a child than education. The meeting then adjourned for lunch after which H. M. Shackleton, formerly of Blyth, no.w of Mt. Forest, president of the East Huron Teach- ers' Association, presided. Mr. Shack- leton warned the teachers to give their best to their work for very often a child's teacher is an inspiration to that child in later life and the child is guided by memories of a "hero teacher," Reports of delegates to the O.E.A. Convention were called for but A. R. Dodd's of West Huron was the only one to give a report. A class of pupils front Clinton Pub- lic School, under the direction of Miss Viola Fraser, gave a demonstra. tion of singing as taught in public schools. Miss Delaney addressed a few valuable and weIl-founded re- marks to the convention. Prof. Cornish was then asked to continue his address on Geography. The professor divided teaching into four classes, first, the "dictation me- thod" which he believed to be the worst of all because it neither devel-' op's the pupil's thinking power nor his memory. Secondly, he took the "book. method," that is, assigning certain pages of a book for a pupil to learn. This method is not as bad as the dic- tation method but is not at all to be recommended for teaching. The third method that of "question and answer" is a good method and causes the stu- dents to think :out answers to ques- tions for themselves. However, in the opinion of Prof. Cornish, the "problem method" is the best of all, that is solving problems by the use of the textbook, whereby the pupils are given the materials to work with and they must do the work for themselves. This method creates an interest in the work said the pro- fessor. Books are the firbtthing in teaching and pictures are next said the profes- sor. He said, that children are always interestedin pictures and eon learn somethings from them that would be almost impossible to explain other- wise. An address on "'Wenzel Arithmetic" by Miss Norma Coutts gave some very' helpful suggestions to teachers, and expressed the importance of this of- ten neglected branch of arithmetic. Officers Elected The election of officers took place and the following teachers were elect- ed: West Huron: Pres., Gordon Kidd, Dungannon; Vice -Pres., 11iiss I. Kirk, Bayfield; Sec.-Treas., B. Stonehouse; 0 FARMERS Agricultural and National Income Agriculture is the chief single in- dustry of the Canadian. people. Al- though in recent years its net produc- tion in value has been surpassed, by that of manufactures, it is predomin- antly, the principal industry of prim- ary production. In addition to pro- viding employment to more than one- third , of the "gainfully occupied" males in Canada, agriculture provides the raw material for many Canadian manufacturing industries and its products in raw and manufactured form constitute a very large percen- tage of Canadian exports. The net production of the five- eighths of the Canadian people who were engaged in what is termed the creation of "form utilities" was given in 1930 as $3,216,746,736 to which the primary industries (agriculture, for- estry, fisheries, trapping, mining, and electric power) contributed 81,525,- 528,806, and the secondary industries (construction, custom and repaid, and manufactures) gave $2,144,233,476. Of the net production of the primary industries of $1,525,528,806,.agrieuia ture was responsible for $758,791,743, which is nearly equal to half of the amount produced. The various pro - diming division of agriculture were field crops, fruits and vegetables, maple products, tobacco, grass and clover, seed, honey, flax fibre, farm animals, wool, dairy butter, creamery butter, homemade cheese, factory cheese, miscellaneous factory pro- ducts, milk consumed or otherwise us- ed, poultry and eggs and fur farm- ing pelts and animals.

Canada exported nearly one hun- dred tons of frozen beef to Japan dur- ing the first six months of 1934 as the result of a movement which started early in the year. Canadian flour imported into Hongkong during the first six months of 1934 showed a considerable in- crease over the figure recorded for the corresponding period of 1933. Spain is one of Canada's markets for milk powder, of which over 6,000 lbs. were exported during 1933. Canada was the Largest supplier of fertilizers to Southern Rhodesia in 1933 and she was also the third principal supplier of foodstuffs dur- ing the same period. Councillors, Miss C. Jewell, Miss M.

The Resolution Committee had two resolutions to report: First, that the normal school be requested to deal more deeply with rural school teachings and, secondly, that there be more questions of the objective type which can be answered in shorter time but serving the same testing purposes as the longer essay type. This latter resolution pertains to the schools. Inspector Beacom stated he was pleased with the increase in the Jun- ior Red Cross membership and look- ed for a further increase this year. Dr. Field said that he was disap- pointed in the dropping off of the number of school fairs and asked for co-operation frons parents and tea- chers to bring the number back to its former level. the conditions in general which he j Dr. Pied was greatly pleased with found in the schools last fall. UNCIVILIZED An ancient ape, once on a time Disliked exceedingly to climb, And so he picked him out a tree And said "Now this belongs to me, I have a hunch that monks are mutts,:.. And I can make them gather nuts And bring the bulk of them to me By claiming title to 'this tree." He took a green leaf and a reed, And wrote himself a title deed Proclaiming, pompously and slow; "All monkeysby these presents.:; know." Next morning, when the monkeys s came• To gather nuts, he made his claim: "All monkeys climbing on this tree, Must bring their gathered nuts to me,., Cracking the same on equal shares, The meats are mine, the shells ares theirs." ' "By what right," they cried, amazed,.., Thinking the ape was surely crazed,. "]3y this," he answered, "if you'Il,•' read You'll find it is a title deed, Made in precise and formal shape And sworn before it fellow ape Exactly on the legal plan Used by the wondrous creature, man'•• In London, Tokio, New York, GIengarry, Kalamazoo and Cork. Unless my deed is recognized, It proves you quite uncivilized." "But," said one monkey, "you'll agree - It was not you who made this tree."' "Nor," said the ape, serene and bland, , "Does any owner make his land, Yet it, and all of its hereditaments Are his and figure in the rents." The puzzled monkeys sat about, They could not make the question out.. Plainly, by precedent and law, The ape's procedure showed no flaw; And yet, no matter what he saki, The stomach still denied the head. Up spoke one sprightly monkey then, "Monkeys are monkeys, men are men. The ape should try his legal capers On man, who may respect his papers.. We don't know deeds; we do know • nuts; And spite of 'ands' and 'ifs' and 'buts,' ' We know who gathers, and unmeats; 'em By monkey practise also eats 'em. So tell the ape and all his flunkeys No man tricks can be played on mon- keys." Thus, apes still climb to get their food Sinee monkey minds are crass and ' crude, And monkeys, all so ill-advised, Still eat their nuts uncivilized. —Edmund Vance Cooke... Representing increases of 2,249,250 '• pounds during August, 1932, and 1).- 003,279 pounds for August, 1933, the total amount of branded beef sold in • Canada during the month of August 1934 was 3,669,528 pounds. The most impressive features of the grasshopper control campaign in the prairie provinces during the past season were the splendid co-operation of the fanners with the Dominion, Provincial and local authorities in • carrying out the work, and their widespread recognition of the value of the control recommendations. The death of gulls in Manitoba re- ported eported to have been due to bait vsedf' in this year's grasshopper campaign was investigated by the Dominion- Entomological Branch, but no evi- dence was found of the gulls having died of poisoning.
