A county tax sale, adjourned from December 1st, 1930, was held on Monday last at the Court House, by Gordon Young, county treasurer. Twenty-two parcels of land, involv- ing $2,200 outstanding taxes, were listed, but there was very little action. Fifty acres of pasture land in Mc- Killop township, on which '$92.40 was owing, was purchased by a neighbor- ing farmer for the amount of the out- standing taxes. The original owner has one year to redeem the praperty. with a ten per cent. penalty, the latter going to thepurchaser at the tax sale. The township of Howick took .over the three parcels advertised From that municipality, Taxes on three properties in Stephen were paid and Exeter took over three of the five difference being that in the old. days the member could find them one and gut rid of them, Now they just keep pestering him and he is helpless. Whether or not there has been any improvement in the service by em- ployment of what is- described as the "merit system" is yearly debated. It practically amounts to putting a man in a job for life.. He can't be edged out without, charges of partizanship being raised, and his pay goes up aut- omatically from year to year whether he is active or passive in his work. Iat- centive to Work for promotion is stifl- ed. He'll 'get it automatically, if he outlives a more highly ranked emp- loye. The employe settles into the red tape of departmental procedure with the same sense of permanency the statue of Queen Victoria on Parlia- ment arliament hill reflects. In the "bad old days" of patronage the party appointee at least •had a conceit for the party that appointed him and he was on his toes to make it as good as he thought it was. It isn't that way now. 1Perhaps the solation its achieving an efficient public service does not lie in a return to .patronage, but there should be sotne way of dissipating the notion that once an individual is ap- pointed all he has to do is punch the time clock regularly to hold his job. In fairness it should he made clear that there are exceptions who display initiative and energy in the public ser- vice. They, unfortunately, are a hope- less minority.

The organized onion 'growers ...of Ontario are making splendid head- way in their effort to market in- creased supplies of home-grown on- ions. Through the efforts of an ap- pointed campaign manager a num- ber of important' organizations have inaugurated an "Onion Week," which commenced ' on January 25th. The press liar lent valuable space to fur- ther the success of the campaign. Spacial +literature dealing with the onion has been distributed by both the federal and provincial rDepartments o1 Agriculture; radio talks are being given on the same subject by the Ontario Department of Agriculture anti by the Canadian National Rail- ways radio chain, The United Hotels of Canada are 'putting special menus ,on for this week and are distributing special literature to their guests. While the immediate object of Onion Week is to reduce the large holdings of onions in the province, it should also have the happy result of demon- -strating to our consumers the worth- while value 95 the home-grown pro- duct. Canada imports one million dollars worth of onions yearly, •while Ontario growers are able to produce a sufficient supply to meet alt needs, Careful Selection Needed. When male birds of good parentage' are used for 'mating 'purploses with hens of proven production ability, there is bound to be an increase in egg production. In an experiment recently concluded, fifteen birds had an average production of 123.6 eggs per year each, When careful selec- tion of strong males was systematic- ally applied', the production jumped. to an average of 238.5, an increase of over 100 per cent, in six years, Movement of Seed Corn. The cbattble corn borer quarantine which for several years was placed on the seed corn producing counties of Ontario has now been lifted, so that it is now permissible to ship; seed con on the ear anywhere within the quarantine area which now takes in all of Old Ontario... Farmers in the silo sections of On- tario will we -Peon -le this information because it will again insure them of a seance of seed corn proven by experi- ence.to be of high germination and vigor.. Producers of seed corn will parti- cula-iy appreciate the lifting of 'this regulation, because they have at 'pre- sent .large quantities of excellent seed corm on hand and they now have an oppprtunity of distributing this mater- ial on the ear over.the province: • It must be remembered, 'however, that although ear corn' May move freely 'throughout 'Old Ontario; the corn borer quarantine is still on and no movement of corn can take ;place from a quarantine area to •a free. area, •Corm borer regulations have during the past five nears lessened to a very marked degree corn' infestations g in tate corn -producing counties of South'wes'tern Ontario, The percentage reduced from 83 to 16.7, in Kent from 78 to 22, its rLanrbton from 34 to 7.4, its Middlesex ,from 28 to 9, in 'Elgin from 40 to 9, and in Norfolk from 16 to 5. Prof, L. Caesar of the O.A.C., who is in charge of corn borer control methods, is well pleased with the re- sults, He points tut, however, that dry summers are very 'beneficial in corn borer control, while in wet sea- sons, withavail- able, all control methods ail- v able, little snare can- be done than keep the borer from materially in- creasing in numbers. - To still further control corn borers Prof, Caesar is now recommending that a stationary cutting knife be attached to the corn binder so that cuttingenay take-place'at the surface o.f the soil. This eliminates the danger of leaving large numbers of borer in the corn stuble and at the same time adds around 1,500 .pounds per acre more to the corn crop. O. A. C..veort Courses. An interesting series of Short Courses has been arranged' for the month of February at the Ontario Agricultural College: Lectures will be given by O.! A. C. professors, .of ficials of the Department of Agricul- ture, and outstanding Ontario au- thorities on the various subjects, The program follows: Short Course in Fruit Gro'wing, Feb, 2nd to 7th; 'Short Course in Vegetable Gardening, Feb. 9th to 14th; -Short Course in 'Land- scape Gardening, Feb. 16th to 20th; Short Course in Floriculture, Feb, 23rd to 27th. These courses will be carried out under supervision of the 0..A. C, Department of Horticulture and will provide Bruch valuable in- formation for those who desire to at - teed. Roots in Cattle Rations. That silage alone for dairy cattle is not sufficient and roots should also be included in the regular rations, Prof. J. C. S'teckley of O. A. C. stated. at the Experimental Union meeting. He was supported by W. J. Bell of the Keniptville Agricultural School, who pointed out that the cost of pro- ducing roots was not excessive, parti- cularly where the ground had been thoroughly cultivated before sowing. In all the rations quoted for dairy cattle, Prof, Steckley urged 'feeding roots at the rate of two pounds daily for every hundred pounds of live weight .of the .animal, in addition to one pound of alfalfa or red clover hay and 'twa pounds of silage. Where no silage was available, four pounds of roots should be fed, lie said, Int feed- ing beef cattle, roots also occupy" a prominent place, the speaker advocat- ing four pounds daily for every 100 pounds of animal's weight. Both. speakers claimed that it was impos- sible to get too much succulence and palatability in the cattle rations and fn their opinion roots constituted one of the most important feeds in this respect. - Sow Thistle Experiments, To secure More definite information on the control of sow thistle, com- parative work was clone in 1930 by the 0, A. C., the Department's Crops and Miarkets Branch, and W. D. Hislop, a farmer near Stratford, Part of Mr. Hislop's farm was very badly infested with sow thistle. Four plots .of about two acres each were used and on these the effects of several methods' of cul- tivation as well as of fertilizers were tried out. On two plots a crop of mix- ed grain was grown. One of thein had been disced in :Se•ptember and plowed . in October 1929, while the other had been plowed in July and cultivated in August, 1929, A crop of mature grain was taken fro'tn' each plot its 193:0. The one plowed in July and cultivated in August had only about half its much' sow thistle and yielded almost twice as much gt'ain as the other, Floor hundred lbs. per acre of 2-412-6 fertilizer was applied to :half of each plot. On all plots there was a very large increase in. yield.. where fertilizer was used, as well as a noticeable weakening and decrease sit the number of sow thistle plants. There is nothing repulsive i n Mill- er's Worm Powders, and they are as pleasant' to take assugar, so that few children will refuse them. In same cases they cause vomiting through their action in an unsound • stomach, but this is only a ' manifestation of their cleansing power, no indication that they are hurtful, .They can be thoroughly depended uponto clear all worths from the system.
