I's'engers which rushed off the boat at every stop and found that surplus bread was apparently nonexistent in the villages above Perm, that below Perna for a day or two one could get o queer mix(bure of : rye and potato flour, baked into small loaves, while further' down the IGanta and on the stretch of the' Volga” between Kazan and Nizhni Novgorod the familiar heavy sour Russian rye bread, the so- called black bread, again became available, i• Every stop of the boat became a miniature food expedition al the ma- jority- of the passengers. There was always a scramble to reach the nnat-. ket, which was usually located on a near -by hill, and a return scramble to reboarci the boat when the warn- ing- bells announcing its speedy de- parture were rung. Sometimes one witness ed spirited attempts alt baster. One passenger was loudly offering to barter a discarde'd shirt for bread, !Apparently the rule of trade was that the seller as well as the buyer must look out for himself, because the venders in the small river markets were very reluctant to part• with their products until the money was safely in their hand's, lAit every large consteuiction plant which I visited in the Urals there had !been colmpla'inits of the high turnover in the labor force. Here on the bout I found concrete reasons for the huge migratory movement among the Rus- sian workers, espeeiaily among those of the less skilled grades. One of the passengers was the wife of a worker in the chemical plant, which I hard just deft. As she told me, she had been atru'ck off the ;fist of persons entitled to buy bread in the co-operative store. 'They want wa t to force all wives of workers to work in the factory also," she said, "and therefore they have withdrawn our bread rations. But I have enough to do with my children, so I am going to -Stalingrad to see whether they have the same rules there. If wives of workers can receive bread in Stalingrad I will write to my husband; and he will take the children and make the same trip dawn the Ka- ma and the V'ol'ga to Stalingrad, where he can certainlyfind work in the trac- tor plant." IDown in the s'teenage of the beat was a worker with his wife and two children, who looked pale and under- nourished. Thein chief sustenance seemed to be some hard dry rye bread crumbs in a can which stood beside them. This worker' had found • employ- ment readily enough in Perm, but, ac- cording to his Story, he did not get enough food to maintain himself and his family, So the family had packed up their simple household goods and were trekltiug to Kaxan, inthe hope that conditions might be 'better there. OLD RUSSIA PERSISTS IN MANY WAYS The shortest and most direct route between the new chemical "giant" at z ki and h new automobile Bene ni the a "giant at Nizhni Novgorod is along two of Russia's old waterways, the (Kama. and the Volga. The boat trip of 1200 miles—first 200 miles in` a small 'boat to Perm, then 1000 'miles on the larger boat which plies between Perm. and Niz- 'l.ni — has a number of instructive features. 'First af all it restores o'ne's sense of perspective,' which is apt to be a trifle distorted as a result of rapid journeys from one industrial cenater 'to another. The long ride don?. the Kama River to the paint where it mingles its comparatively blue wat- ers lvith the muddy yellow stream of the Volga 'below (Kazan offers• many sights of industrialization. One floats .for hours "ibetween' thickly ' wooded shores, broken by an occasional vil- lage or small town, One realizes that'Russia's new 'fac- tories are still balanced by enortnous stretches of virgin forest and sparse- ly populated, undeveloped territory. Then the state Officials, employees,' engineers, writers and others who occupy the upper deck cabins and the workers and peasants who travel in the "steerage" or open lower deck of the boat constitute ,a good cross sec- tion of Soviet society and one ' can pick up many interesting im'press'ions 'in talking with them, Last, but per- haps not least, am unorganizedtrip an the countfy's waterways affords an excellent diose -up view of the food d'ifficubllie's, 'The: Karna, especially in its` upper reaches, is a beautiful river, much more picturesque and attractive than the Volga.

Perhaps the most striking bit of scenery on the river is at a place called Tikhiya Gori, which_.: means Quiet 'M'ai'ntains• Here: a straggling village and a church built in many soft colors are to be seen on' top' of a high hill overlooking the river.

Two carloads of the finest :quality grade cheese have peen consigned to Lon- don, England, by the Oxford C'hees.e Patrons' Association, Woodstock, and the Central Ontario Cheese Patrons' Association, Belleville. There the cheese will be sold in small lots through the regular trade channels. Experiments will be conducted seldiirg cheese iii different Stages or aoatuiity and preference for color , on the various British markets will be in- vestigated. ,Hlared'ling costs of every. nature; including expensesinvolved in ran sportation, truck ing dockage, toiage, British inland freight, etc., as well as the various' 'commissions and other charges made by the British 'brokers and produce firms will be oohed into. Honey Prospects Bright A cable to the Ontario Marketing Board indicates the prospects for Ontati'o honey, on the ,British market, as euceedingly bright. Empire stacks of high grade honey are low, thus creating a favorable condition for the reception of the surplus from iOnta'rie. The cable states that at present no old crop New Zealand honey is available. 'Because of a shortage of immed- iately available high grade new crop. honey, present p. -lees on buck honey may be abnorinaal'ly high. It is ex- pected, -however, that prices will con- tinue well above those of last year. Service to Growers "A real service to the fruit and veg- table producers is being effected' by the Ontario 'Growers' Markets. Coun- cil," said J. A. Carroll, secretary of the Marketing Board recently. In ce- der to be (n a position to answer in- quiries and to place buyers in touch with sellers, the council is sending out query forms in an attempt to deter- mine the quantity of winter vegetables and at what price producers are will - (ng to sell. Mr. Carroll painted out that growers who neglected to fill in and •retuno these forms were running the risk of allowing possib'l'e markets for winter vegetables to slip from. their grasp. Prizes For Barley 'Ac'cordi'ng to J. A. Carroll, Ontario iDepartmetttt df Agriculture, there is a very defi'ni'te market for .a good grade olf noabbin'g barley. 'Certain interests, with the idea of encouraging .the growth of malting 'barley in Ontario, have donated cash prizes to be awarded the. best exhibits of 100 pounds of Ontario .grown'six- rowed :blarley shown at the , Royal Winter ,Fair. The first prize consists of a gold medal and five hundred dol- lars. 'The other -cash prizes are relat- ively smaller. 'Barley entered in this .competition .will be judged more for suitability for malting than for feed or seed. The most desirable features of barley for malting are soundness, .full ' size and uniformity of kernel, fnee'donr from other 'grains, -weed seeds and inert matter. Dipping Sheep Ticks and other external parasites of sheep are serious enough at any time and cause more direct loss than is generally supposed, bult "during the period when the, sheep are in winter quarters it is even more important to rid ith'em of alt sources of irritation. It i5 especially desirabte•that the flock be clean' before and during lambing, otherwise the'inlfestaltion is sure to be passed along to the lamibs which will thus receive a very serious' set'b'ack at at most important period of their lives. 'Properly dipped in the autumn, on some warm day when the fleeces will dry out quickly, the while flock will remain clean throughout - She winter, unless, of 'course, other undipped ani- mals are brought to the farm. With the very' convenient powder dips, sheep are put through the minimum of bother and at a cost of only a few cents per head, The only thing neoes- sary:is to make store of good dip, dil- uted .to the proper strength, and that every animal is passed through the solution slowly and ehorouaghdy satur- ated. ed. Hog Production Hog productionhas far •many years been an important part of farming op- erations in Canada, especially Ont- ario. It may ,be freely acknowledged that there have been periods when prices barely covered costs; but it is a fact that the average results of any ten-year period in the history •af hog production in this Provin,ce or any pant of Canada shows that the .produc- tion of hiogs he's yielded a profit '10 the intelligent producer, fff then,, over anyperiod of ten years, the production df hags has proven to be pndfitable,.it would sure- ly be advisable to develop this branch of farm production.' In this, as in any fold• af 'en,dwavor, .the long view of policy is wise and 'necessary. Plans must be laid for a 'considerable 51 me ahead. Theseplan's should provide for better method's of'' breeding, feed'in'g and rearing and the volume of'produc- tion necessary to maintain a posi'tio'n in the world markets.. 'Commercial hog production in .Can- ada began to be important:about 1830, Tn the census year of 1881, Canada's hog population numbered', •1,2.00.000.

This in itself is abundant proof that hog pro'du'ction has, on the average, been profitable. On account of The fact that Can- ada produces a large surplus of cheap feed 'grains and has a relatively •sm•' 1r' -I: consuming polpu'iation, it will be nat- ural that this country will produce a surplus of hag products over domestic requ'ire'ments. Thais inevitable surplus must be exported. If it is a small amount and in uncertain quantities, the marketing of such surplus is very difficult. Therefore it is necessary that this country should develop hog pro- duction so as to have a fair volume of product available for export 'steadily. In addition Co volume, a quality of product which will create its own 'de- mand ' is an absolute neoessity. It is, therefore, evident that the farmers of Ontario in their best interests .should produce as large a volume of good quality product as their conditions: and means of breeding and feeding „vii 1 permit. !For many years the export market for Ontario bacon has been Great Bri- tain. The sentiment .of consu'mers in Britain is favor'ab'le to our bacon. But the trade there asks that the quality shall be equal to that of other coun- tries and that the supply shall be de- pendable. 'Th'eseare very reasonable demands and Ontario producers must surely be prepared to meet .them. Time has Tested it -Dr. Thomas' E'clectric Oii has been an the market upwards of fifty. years and in that time it has proved a'blessing to thou- sands. It is in high favor throughout Canada and its; excellence has carried its fame beyond the seas. 'If it were double the price it would be a cheap liniment. REGENT THEATRE EA T RE ..
