At this time last year, stocks of frozen eggs in Canada were Fairly heavy and breaking and freez- ing operations daring last spring were root very extensive, This year the situation is exactly reversed. Stocks of frozen eggs are "..'.:ow practically depleted and with business itt -general picking up there ,-tits be much more activity in the egg., Breaking industry during the canning spring: I1t is quite possible that the :glume of eggs which will be used Ai the freezing industry this year may be such as to relieve the market of practically the same quantity of eggs es was" exported, during 1933. An Evergreen Windbreak For the Farm A fanner who .plants a windbreak and shade trees around the farm Building-, shows foresight, as they ;will 'enhance the value and appear noes of his farm, and improve living eonditions. 'The 'foresight is indicated as small trees 'have to be planted and a number of years will pass 'before they make an apprecia'ble difference in surroundings. 'A inc and "effective windbreak can he -aro -wit fat 1'0 '_years' with: the ;trees that ate supplied free Sy tate Ontario `l':••=stry 'Branch •or v:itlt cedars taken from the. wood's. 'Evergreens should be , planted in permanent ideation's when small, as it is difficult ito'trans,plsot successful 1y trees larger than three to four feet. The trees that are supplied by (he laroreslt•y 'B'ranc'h may be planted pernianen;tly in the •w•incdbreak, or may 'be .platted in nursery dines and cultivated for a few yeat•,s, 'The labor of transp)antin'g an,d the seebak itt growth that trees 'have when moved are eliminated if they are planned in the windbreak, They may 'either he placed on plowed ground and cul- tivated or spot planted in sod. Cul- tivation stimulated cons'ideralbly. the. growth off s'm'all trees and ail effective' windbreak will be grown more quick- ly if the trees are cultivated. There is space and the trees are more 'liable to be cu'ftivated if a hoe crop is grown with them the 'first two- years. 'The advaattages of a tree nursery are that the trees are cultivated and it is gen- erally easier to protect the small trees in nursery line's, Careful consideration should be gi- ven to the location of the windbreak, the number 01 rows, and the spacing of the trees; _More than one row snakes a much better •wyndbreak than a single row, and usually they will he protected better. Spruce or pine should not be planted closer than 8- 12 feet in a single rots, 'butifthree or more rows are planted they may be placed 5.6 feet and managed the same as a 'forest plantation. _ Early spring as soon as ' t'he frost fd out of the ground is the best sea- son to transplant trees in Ontario, and care should be taken to protect the roots from the sun and .wind. ;Application formes for trees and de- scriptive literature may be secured from the Forestry Branch, Parlia- ment ;Buildings, Toronto, the'Provin- cial Tree'Nurseries and St. Williams, Midhurst and Orono or the County Agricultural Office: • Good Seed Prices This spring, Ontario is 'enjoying a good demand for "registered seed, 'Brisk bidding was witnessed in the auction itt the Ottawa 'Valley Seed Fair, and in several casesprices ran to . high levels. 'Four bushels ;of Gar- net wheat exhibited by farmers of the IEarlton ;District of Taniiskanting brought l'F11.90 a bushel. The average for all the samples 'sold was $1:50 a bushel, Care of the - New Pigs The nun f09 sown land litter require care and good ]feeding in order that :'be pigs 'will he -strong and healthy, and the sow :will be in 'flit condition to produce a second litter tihk ycar..Sup- ply, :a ,milk -.producing . ration. 1t should consist of oats, middlings and skin-milk,Iloecurage the pigs to start eating at an Carly age by plac- ing some !feed in a low trough.

Two Tomato Crop- s Yearly Is Ontario Grower's Plan Two tomato crops, under glass, is the albifiCHr of.. one ,progressive 'Ontario grower. It is the proposal that one crop should be ready for market from October to Christmas, while the neat would sell itt May and June, just Prior to the outdoor "product making its ' appeararrce, For the :fa'll crop, .plants would be set in the greenhouse, in July, fruit- ing by early- October and continuin to Christmas. For the spring crop seeding would be effected 'in Decem ber, getting the young plants de veloped to about .a• foot :high -by "Feb "nary or March, ready for the beds Spring Lamb Market Observati"ous of the Ontario Mark- eting Board Would indicate that too manly urun 111s']ted spring lambs are being offered for sale at the Union Stock Yards, Torotrto, Of the number of spring lambs reaching the Yard's, during the week of April 2, it is estimated that some fifty per cent, were not properly fin- ished, individual weights -being less than thirty pounds. IIf producers are' to profit through the marketing this otherwise choice product, it is ...recommended 'that spring lambs be properly finished to a weight of- "approximately forty pounds. .This can the .effected only through extending :the ;feeding period. g Seed Grain Crops Early • The importance of -early 'seeding cannot be stressed boo strongly. An experint•en11 carried on for 10 years at the 'Cen'tr'al .Experimental 'Farm, shows that Wheat, oats, -barley and Peas seeded as .soon a's the laird is ready to work give higher yields than when sown at later dates. The average increase of grain sown early over that sown two weeks later 'was 114 d)ushels Inc "barley, 118 bushels for wheat and 4 bushels for oats. Registered Seed Fair What . is bt-il•ivod' to be the firsit all registered seed fair was staged at Renfrew-,' Ont., rcceet'ly. This com- petition was Mader the auspices off the Arnprior and South Renfrew agricul- tural societies and was confined to registered seed growers of .Renfrew County. IIn alis ninety entries were received from seventy-four registered seed growers in the county. Fourteen prizes were offered -Inc 'barley, sixteen for oats, tell for wheat and nineteen for peas.. Purebred Cattle Sale Type and production sale of pure- bred 'H'olstein cattle, held at 'Guelph on Tuesday, (April .10th, 'brought a top price of $11515,00' for "females and $1152:00 for bulls, ,the general average being $916;l2l5 for caws and !heifers and $111110:00 for •males. Twenty-two of the fifty-two head catalogued sold for prices above 11100A0 each, while only fifteen brought less than $90,00 each, some of these being young heifers. The event was attended by close ,to five hundred people, drawn ;from the Various breeding areas of 'Western Ontario. A REMARKABLE SENSE (In the animal kipgdom the sense of smell serves many purposes. !Tt guides the creatures to food and in- forms them 'w'hen there Is impending danger. Slunters will stake exhaust- ing detours t o gain 1 position•where their s cene will not be carried on the winds toward.theanimals they are stalking. 3Ve are a 11 familiar with the keen scent of dogs. The short -nosed dogs (usch as the 'Pomeranian, the Boston terrier, and the English bald -dog) have this sense well developed; but it is in the longer -nosed dogs (the hunters) that it is particularly acute. ';'here is good reason for the dogs' frith the longer noses having the keener sense of smell, for within the nose are the sensitive nerves that re- gister the impres,sions received, Long- nosed clogs have a larger surface lat- ticed with these delicate nerves, hence they can detect odors more quickly and at :greater distances. IPeehaps you think we are going far afield. Have patience. !Betty Bee has no nose worthy the name, yet she has a sense of smell even more remarkable than that of the dogs. Look closely at a bee and you will note two slender projections, very Mitch like :horns. extending for- ward from the head,. These are the an- tenna'e, the bee's means of smell and corn mtrncation, When Betty Bee eaters her hive and detects •a robber 'bee front an- other colony, it is her sense of smell that' first warns her, Then guides her to the intruder. Ever so lightly she touches the stranger with her .an tennae, and any 'lingering doubts are promptly removed—and so, we night add, is the robber. ;After '110 Years of 'Asthma Dr. J. D.

Want and For 'Sale Ads, 3 tin'e's, 50c THE CANADIAN BUDGET 'Ottawa. — A doficit of '$11,35,200,000 for the fscal year ended March. 31, 19304, an improvement by $212,500,000 over the previous year, was revealed to an expectant 8I-Iouse of Commons on :April '18 by Mr, E. N, .Rhodes, Minister of Finance. 11 was Mr. 'Rhodes' .third budget during the trottblous years he has held office, and he tras able to speak in a happier vein than on' the two previous occasions, in spite of the substantial addition to the national debt "The fiscal year 'whicdi has just closed has. ;been a year of recovery,” he declared, "recovery that is uti- ntislakdble and of greater magnitude than many had thought possible," He named numerous proofs in support of this declaration. ;Practically t'he whole of the de- crease in the deficit 'carate through trimming ordinary expenditure, which the Finance Minister observed ,had 11011 been reduced to a "level beyond. which it would- be impossible to go. The delfi.cit -ort ordinary account -was. '$2I4,1110i0,000 as compared .with $)43,200,- 000 last year, -a 'betterment of $19,- 1100,000. Total expenditures on ordinary ac- count reached $347,700,000 and ordin- ary revenue amounted to $3213,600;000. Capital expenditures, unemploy- ment relief and other special expend- itures brought the deficit up to $"76,-1 3000000. Adding to that the losses on operation of the 'Canadian National Railway •ISlysteni amounting to $58,- 000,000, brought- the net deficit to 4113'5j300,000, as compared with $1162,- 700,000 last year. T'he ,Finance Minister announced the Government's intention of setting uup such legislation as may be neces- sary to ease the burden of debt borne by the farmers and explained why it 'would be impossible to go further and make this applicable to all forms of debt and interest charges. The total net debt was estimated at $2,7311':6906,000 as on .March 3d, 11934, as compared with $2;599,089,000 on the same date last"year. The grand total of ail revenues were $"3,214,01113,000 as compared 'with $31111',10I0,0000 the previous year, while total expenditures were classified as follows, irIth jlast year's !figures frj brackets: Ordinary expepd•itures $13417,702,000 ($3149,'SI111',0:00).

'Grand total, $4159,2218,000 ($'531,- 764000'), This year, for the first time in the course of the depression, the Fin- ance : iillaces Minister said, it was possible ,to review the year's operations in terms of business • improvement, reviving confidence, and expanding revenues, 'Stabilization of Canadian currency, most await the establishment of a stabilized ration between the United States dollar and the British pound, Mr. 'Rhodes reported. "afuch misunderstanding seems to persist in connection with these high- ly technical matters of money and ex- change," the minister observed. "For instance, it *is sometimes claimed that WC should devalue our currency on -the same basis as the Un- ited States has devalued theirs. This criticism appears to reveal a complete lack of appreciation of 'the fact that our dollar is currently selling on an approximate parity with that of the United 'States, which ,has been " de- valued by evalued':by slightly over 40 per cent."

VARIETIES 0 ItSUM+MER- FLOWERING SWEET PEAS (Experimental Farms .Note.) !Sweet peas have not always existed as we know them today. While seed was offered for sale as early as the year 11724, match of the improvement with this flower has taken place with- in comparatively recent years: The origination, in 11204, of the ,Spencer type of sweet pea was probably the beginning o -f the superb waved' and' - frilled varieties now grown, The re- cent introduction of the new ruffled type has been still another advance and well worthy of note. To the already barge number of varieties in exsitence, many are be ing added each year. In 1033 the Na- tional Sweet Pea Soclsety of Eit,giand tested one hundred and thirty-four new varieties and in addition grew some ninety :odd varieties for: compar- ison. The task of the amateur in sel- ectinga dozen or so good varieties -from .such numbers is no light one. 'Int an endeavour to be of assistance to such growers the 'Experimental Sta- tion at - ,Chaelottetawn has undertak- en a special study of sweet pea var- ieties. The test plots at this :Station are admirably situated for such work in that the climate is paricularly Well* suied to growing this flower. The late Dr, ofacoun, who travelled from coast -to coast an`the course of his duties, \'vas of the opinion• that con- ditions in Prince Edward Island for growing sweet peas could not be sur- passed. ' While a large number of the most outstanding varieties have been tested here, it is quite possib'ie that some ex- cellent sorts have been omitted. ' A ,number 0,1 newer varieties have not beensufficiently well tested to pass judgment on. The afllowiitg is 'a list of 'recom- mended varieties for garden planting: ,White-IMidel; Cream—Matchless. !Light ,Pink—Supreme; Deep Pink Pinkie; -Creast .Pink—Magneto Idyl. -Light Cerise—Beatall; Deep Cer- ise—Mrs.A. Searles; Scarlet Cerise— Flamingo, ,Fire. ;Scarlet—Captain Blood; Crimson— Crimson 'King; 'Rose—Brilliant Rose, Damask Rose, ,Ruffled 1Rose: Light 'Blue-1Glenea:gles; Blue-4Re- flection. 1Purple-10-1ym'pia; 'l2attire Chief tain, -Maroon---The Sultan, •Picntec-lSunkist, MORE •ATTRACTIVE The nurserymen's slogan, "It is' not a home until it is planted," is very true; and the 'farmhouse which has to statin on ,its own merits, and is often set among unsightly out- buildings, would seem to be more in need of background and ' foundation planting than the town or city house, which, in 'many cases, gain's in value and appearance frotn the plantings on neighboring grounds. Evergreens are being extensively used for foundation printing nowand where circum- stances permit are unquestionably the most satisfactory. Once established, evergreens require a minimum of at- tention and art attractive at all sea- sons, Dwarf Mountain 'Pane; Japanese Yew, ,and certain varieties of juniper and cedar are 01-001 suitable for foundation -planting; and, awhile the cost ,is greater- than for many other shattibs, they are worth- the difference.
