Rations for Poultry:
The Poultry Department, 0. A. C.,
has for some years past been carrying
I�connection with poultry feeding with
on a series of nutritional studies in
the financial' co-operation of the Em-
pire Marketing Board, London, En-
land. Bulletin 362, issued by the On=
tario Agricultural College contains
the results of these studies over a
period of three years.
The method of carrying out the
experiment' is desettibed in 'full' de-
tail in the bulletin, and a list of
eight conclusions ,is given at the end.
The general plan elf the experiment
was to study the influence of such
animal proteins as milk, fish scrap,
beef scrap, and tankage as they
might affect hatchability ao'd egg
production.
Mirk in combination with beef
scrap o'f fish scrap together with cod
liver oil, appears to be the most sat-

wilere hatching power of eggs, num-
ber of eggs produced, and pounds df
feed required to produce one dozen
eggs are considered.

Treating Seed Potatoes.
Naturally, the aim of the potato
grower is to produce the biggest
and best crop at the lowest possible
cost. This is dependent upon a num-
ber of factors such as good soil,
quality of seed, spraying and culti-
vation. While the importance of
these features is unquestioned, very
often the prospect of a good crop
is ruined through neglect to practise
seed treatment which is aimed to
reduce the enormous losses and in-
convenience caused by scab, black
leg and rltizoctottia, all of which oc-
cur in every province of Canada,
The commonest method used to

presbytery, for ex'amimttioti. Two can-

commended to the London Confer
eine for ordination. The list of lay
delegates to represent the presbytery
at conference were appointed, and twc
members of presbytery, Rev. James
Scobie and B. W. F. Beavers, were
nominated to act on the settlement
committee for 1932. A pastoral rela-
tions committee consisting of the
chairman, the secretary and three
other members .01 presbytery, was ap-
pointed. It will be the duty of this
committee to, deal with matters which
mit' arise with regard to changes Of

The chairman of presbytery, Rev. C.
J. Moorhottse, conveyed the greetings
of presbytery 'to : ,the W. M. S., who.
were holding 'their 'presbyterial meet-
ing in Hettsall ort the same day. A
number of the standing committees
submitted reports, both as a review of
the past and also staving to do with
plans for the 'future. Communica-

There's Money in Eggs.

Quality Counts.
Dr. G. F. Warren of Cornell Uni-
versity has long been recognized as
one of the leading agricultural econ-
omists df the world, In an address
delivered recently, he brought out
the interesting point that when food
is relatively cheap, producers become'
more insistent on quality.
Dr. Warren does not expect a re-
turn to the high commodity levels of
recent years. He suggests that we
tnay expect some slight improvement
in the hear 'future, but that all com-
modity prices including farm pro-
ducts will be relatively low for seve-
ral years. To meet the situation, he
makes the following. suggestions to
farmers:I
L Find ways of producing farm
products with less hours of labor,
The chief ways of doing this are by
obtaining more mirk per cow; higher
crop yields per acre, and by using
tabor more efficiently.
2.. 'Ways of reducing the cost- df
distribution must be 'found.
3. Improve quality to meet the
demands of workers who have a high
buying power.
Reducing Crop Costs.
The ever present problem with the
farmer is how to reduce crop costs.
This can be done itt two obvious
ways: First, producing more at the
sante costs; and second, Producing
the same at tf lower cost.
Perhaps the most Important meth-
od of reducing tete cost of produc-
ing' crop, is to increase "the yield.
Most of the items incurred in the
cost of producing crops are the sane
whether the crop is large or small,
so that every effort should be made
ti produce large yield, by the adop-
tion -of all better farming practices.
Another method of reducing the
cost of production is the use of larg-
er machinery and more labor saving
equipment, Considers hie improve-
ment has been made in recent years
in the introduction of larger and
;teget' machinery, making .po si'bfe
elimination, of considerable manual
labor, Where the fartit is large en-
ough to warrant the purchase of such
machinery, this method constitutes an
effective means of reducing costs. The
substitution of more profitable for 40
less profitable crops is another ad-
vantage which ntay be deriver! from
the cost of production studies.
