Only a couple of local color items
from the nation's capital this week:
One concerns the fact that at a local
Liaison officers' meeting (for the Con-
sumer Branch, Wartime Prices and
Trade Board) the ladies sent in a
resolution to the Prices Board asking
that boys' pants be manufactured
with double seats; and that certainly
sounds like an economy idea, be-
cause boys don't wear 'ens out on the
cuffs After two months' ab-
sence from an interment camp a
young Luftwaffe Nazi was caught by
an alert detective in the Ottawa
Union station. Asked what he
thought of Ritter now, he replied:
"What do you think .of Churchill
now? That's what I think of Hitler."

The R.C,A,F. is quite disturbed
about some farmers, hunters and gun -
toting youngsters taking pot shots at
racing pigeons in flight. Please think
twice before doing Hagan:. They are
either on the Fly carrying messages,
photographs, etc., for the armed ser-
vices or being trained by civilian
pigeon fanciers for a war job. Right
now the R.C.A.W. Signals (Pigeon
Division) is out to recruit 1,000 new
birds. Ineidentolly, since April, it is
against the law to keep or fly pigeons
without authority.

Products in Canada for the first six

10S millions as against $243 millions
ht the sante period of 1942, and $2206
milltous Tn 1941. This increase was
00111141011 in all provinces except Out-
stio, with the Prairie Provinces tops
because of the sale of 1942 grains.
Greatest percentagle was shown in
the marketings of oats and barley.
Hogs hit $106 millions, dairy products
5110 millions. In the same period,
however, the domestic consuption of
fluid milk, butter, cheese, ice cream,
etc., showed quite a decrease, most of
it resulting from butter rationing.

Here's another interesting item for
folks in agricultural spots. Stocks of
creamery butter in stole in nine of
the principal Canadian cities' on Oct-
ober 1st totalled 50,930412 lbs., an
increase of 1714million lbs. over the
amount at the same date last year.
However it must be remembered
October 1st is taken as a peak date.
There was a decline shown in cheese
and eggs, but that is due to large
shipments to the United 'Kingdom.

If Your Farm Work has Slackened

Elsewhere in Essential Employment
Highly essential work—very important
in Canada's war effort and for the
welfare of the Nation—is threatened
with shortages of workers. One of the
few sources of men available for other
high priority jobs is those men on the
farm who will not be needed at home.
during the Fall and Winter. Heavy
needs must be met in many lines—
producing fuel wood and other neces-
sary forest products; in base metal
mines, in food processing, in railway
track maintenance. If you live on a
farm and are not needed at home
during the Fall and Winter, you are
urged to answer this national appeal.
Farmers engaged in essential work
during the off season will be allowed
to return home when needed. Also,
those on postponement under Mobili-

postponement while in approved essen-
tial work during the slack on the farm.

(Record of Performance) breeders,
In most districts of Canada there is
a poultry breder who is spending
seven days a week trapnesting and
caring for a flock of proved birds. To
the farmer, as J. G. Lougstaff, R.O.P.
and Hatchery Inspector, Saskatche-
wan, points out, the trapnesting of
poultry may seem just a tiresome
never-ending chore, the fact is it is a
very necessary and vital part of the
Canadian poultry production pro-
gram.
Just as the grain grower cleans his
seed and rejects shrunken grains,
weeds, and dirt, so the R,O.P. breeder
in co-operation with the R.O.P. in-
spector chills out the poorly developed
and undesirable birds. A farmer does
not seed his entire farm wltheut hav-
ing bad the grain tested for germin-
ation. The germination test in poultry
breeding is done by the 11,0.P. poul-
try br'»e•1er by trapnesting pillets for
their lrst full year's lay. In doing so
he is working for the advantage of
the whole poultry industry. The eggs
are separately marked, the chicks
when they come are banded by num-
bered leg hands and the numbers re-
corded with the number of the sire
and elan, When mature, the chicks
are irapnested to see if the clam, af-
ter producing sufficient eggs to anal'
