Music in Rural Schools The enthusihsm evident at musical festivals staged by schools in various 'counties at the end of the school term 'n June shows drefinitely that the young people of rural Ontario erre taking an in'creasingl'y greater interest in .music, Int Middlesex, for example, there were 150 entries including elev- en school choruses, ihree,high school choruses and two mixed choruses. Over 1500 people we in attendance. Fifteen rural school and three .urban school choruses competed at the fes tiv.l in .Peel,' with some 154 entries and a capacity attendance.

Build Up The Soil Not infrequently d:o we read of some section of the country where the soil has beeif gradually impoverished to the point it will no longer return a profitable yield. This has come sole- ly of neglect upon the part of its owners to return to the soil at,least a portion of the nourishment removed' by successive crop'ping. Today there are available. many, fertilizers readiiy adaptable to ''various types of soil for. the purpose of restoring to the earth its former fertility. True, they can- not be applied indiscriminately, but by' judicious application. biased on bhe re- commendation of officials of the De motored to Toronto this week Mr. and Mrs. ;James Logan of Blyth, spent Thursday with Mr, and Mrs._ Leo Stephenson, Mr. and Mrs., James Dale and Ar- nold visited Mr. and Mrs. 'Jackson of near Brussels on Sunday.

Due to warm weather with cool nights during ripening time, the head's are quite plumpand the grow- ers row- ers are securing much larger yields than they expected. !Reports of agri- cultural representatives from other parts of Ontario would indicate a fair average crop of wheat. Mortality Among Young Rigs One of the most serious' problems confronting swine breeders now, is undoubtedly the high mortality utY a- mong mong very• young pigs, , sometimes calledOne ni t a in suckling pigs," For some time the staff of the On- tario Veterinary College in-co-o•per- ation with the Animal Husbandry De- partment of the 0,A,C. have been studying this problm and they are frank to admit that many phases of the disease still .baffle them. The di- sease can be prevented by keeping the pregnant sow and then the litter in an environment which includes plenty of air, sunshine and green feed, but in winter tune when these conditions are out of the question, the disease is much more difficult to control, In a test recently made a number of young bacon type sows were placed through the province for breeding purposes and a check made on their growth and production of young pigs. .Records show that the average litter contained only 10,9 pigs of which 6.5 were saved to grow to commercial age and weights. The greatest cause for loss is said to be too often carelessness and inexperience on the part of the owner both during pregnancy and after. Many losses might be prevented with a little care and extra watchfulness: Poultry Mark- et Unpromising An official forecast states that the poultry market for the balance of the year is going to be a.trying one, per- haps most difficult through which the industry has passed in recent years.

IKing Helped Outsiders Take Trade Away from Our Farmers New Zealand Farmer Gets Cash for Glutting the- Canadian Markets The King Government has invited other nations to come in here and compete with the Canadian farmers. The home market should be- long to the farmer who lives here, who pays his taxes here and who is entitled to make a living here. As far back as 1925 when the Australian' treaty was made, it was the farmer who was called upon to make the sacrifice, The duty on butter was cut to one per cent per pound. Eggs and. butter were admitted free. Fresh meats e were taxed only % cent per pound. Right there the Conservatives fought the idea. Hon. Arthur Meighen said this (Hansard 4876): "BY THIS TREATY THE GOVERN- MENT OF CANADA JUST CALLS ON THE MIXED FARIVPERS OF CANADA TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO STEP UP TO THE COUNTER AND PAY THE WHOLE COST- OF THE COtNCESSIONS THEY HAVE GIVEN AUSTRALPA." The King Government, having invited the farmers of . Australia to invade the Canadian market, • immediately proceeded to extend the same invitation to New Zealand. They did that on October 1, 1925, and New Zealand butter has • been dumped in Canada to the extent of 35,- 000,000 pounds a year. Just Looked On FARMERS can tell how business goes. To- day they say they are MILKING COWS FOR. NOTHI'NG. The New Zealand butter is still entering Canada. The damage has been done and it will take a long time to get the dairy business back where. it belongs. How could it be otherwise ? There are only a given number .of people in Canada to consume butter. If millions of tons are brought in here there is bound„tlo be stiffer competition for the home market. • The King Government brought about a con- dition where the Canadian farmer and dairyman were told by the trade: We don't need your but- ter. We can get all we want from New Zealand. ,You will have to cut your price to pieces to sell Canadian butter. That is the treatment the dairying•. interests have received from the King Government, and month after month the Government has seen the Canadian interests being injured and has allowed it to continue. This Prosperity ? THEN, with voting day coming near, Mr. Xing goes around saying the country is pros- perous. perous. Let any farmer who engages in dairying answer him. Let him look over his cream cheques, Between 1926 and 1929 Canada has changed. from exporting 24,000,000 pounds of butter to im- porting 34,000,000. Is that prosperity ? A decrease of 115,000 milch cows in two years 1 Is there any prosperity in that ? Farmers receiving $1.23 per 100 pounds of milk, Is that prosperity? Farmers Retire ? CANADA cannot get along without a strong body of agriculturists. sts That is the backbone of our civilization We are spending good P g money everyinorder year to teach the latest and best methods in farming. Rural thought and rural training are recognized as being wholesome. You don't hear of many farmers being able to retire to -day. You hear of a good many who say they can 'hardly get along because prices are too low when they sell and too high when they buy. There can be no improvement with a Govern - anent in power that deliberately plans to take the money that ought to be going to Canadian farm- ers and put it in the pockets of farmers in New Zealand, Make the Change The Canadian farmer is entitled to have the Canadian market for his produce, and the pro- duce of other lands should be kept out of this market. That is the Conservative policy. That is why rural thought is turning against the King Government. Posing as the friend of the farmer it has deliberately forced the farmer to face a New Zea- land competition which he never should have had to face. Get rid of this Government so Canadian farmers can have the home market, Vote for TREWARTHA INSERTED BY THE SOUTH HURON CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION H. 'B, Copilot, President. ,Rob't, Biggins, Secretary,
