A ,pretty reliable old formula for finding out "w'hether or not a flock of ;hens is " paying for the feed "they e'a't is supplied by' F. C. Elford, ,Dominion Poultry Husbandman. Ilt its as simple as it is ,practical: Take the ,cost of 'feed per ihundredweig!ht, divide it by ;the cost .of eggs per d'ozen and 'mu'ltiply this quotient by three. 'This 'gives you the number Of eggs per day ,which a flock of '100 ;hens must day to p'ay. tor the cost of their ;feed. For example: 'Feed is costing $1'.20 per cwt., and eggs selling at 30 cents per dozen: Applying ;the formula ;the quotient .is 4; this''multbp'lied by three gives the result 10—or the ' number of eggs which a flock. of 100 hens will have to average per day to pay ,for feed at that cost ratio.

Hlorticu•ltural Council, Special attention will be given during the coming year to this phase of the A'ss'o'ciation's aetiwi'fie's. Principles • of Grading. iThe grading of farm 'products is biased on the principle that it is sound bu'sines's to classify live stock in such a way .that the consumer will be able to recognize and purchase quality ;products, and that the price premium which 'the- consu!m'er .will pay for .the better grades Should be returned to the producer o'f them. Practice has proven the value of the theory involved in tlhe .grading ,prin- uipl'e. Gra:d'ing a'dblvmties have been a tremendous incentive to •quality pro- duction, with resultant 'price benefit tei producers. TO RETIRE ARTIER TWENTY- -SIVE YEARS' SFRfWQE When 5. tLocleie'Wilson retires 'next April, one of the best known figures in Ontario will withdraw from prof- essional ,agricultural activities. For twen'ty-'five years Mr. Wilson ha's been connected ,willh' 'the 'Ontario De- ,partment of Agriculture, being end - gaged by the Whitney Government in '1907 as Supenintenden't of Agricultur- al and 'Horticultural .Societies, but that was by no means the ,beginning of his .career, but rather a bridge .between practical' and prefessional a'gricul'ture. tPrenniotts to joining the ,Ontario Ci- vil Service, Mr- :Wilson had been an active Farmer in ;bis still''fa'varite Glen- garry County. He was born in 15516 and after a few yeara pn a contract with the old Canada Atlanti'c R'ailwa'y :he 'operated a 'large farm near Alexan- dria. Mr„ 'W'ils'on sipecialized, in,A'yr- shires exit ,won the coveted ,medal gtv, en by tlhe Ontario Agricultural and Ants Association for the 'b'es't pedi- greed Ayrshire herd in .Ontario; about thirtyduve yea'ns ago. Por twenty -'two consecutive years this 'Wii'son herd of forty head- was unbeaten in the show rings. It was ,only natural that th'e owner during his ,farm career was hono'red with the Presidency of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders' A.ssocia- tion- IBut Mr. Wilson's activities were .not narrowed to one channel of farm life. In looking over ,his long' record we find him actively connected with the local debating society, the Glengarry !Farm'e'rs' Institute, the St. And'rew's Society, Sons .of Scotland, C'aledoni'an games, 'Lacrosse 'C'u'bs, and during the political .activities of the middle 'nineties, President of the ,Patrons: of Industry and the Farmers' Maack - lion o'f 'Canada. 'Then came the 'appointment .ugder the Ontario- Department ' of Agricul- ture and while .we hear no more 'of de - ,bating societies, Patrons of Industry and other potential political organiza- tions, there is another long record of sexlvice with ;ploughmen's, horticultur- al, fairs and field crops associations. He was the first president of the On- tario Civil ',Service A's'socia'ti'on, We also hear of the (Burns Literary Soc- iety of Toronto, the Presbyterian Church, vacant lot ga'rd'ening, ,play- grounds, the Canadian National Ex- hibition, and the Royal Winter. Fair. Important offices in all these'organiz- a'tion:s have been held by Mr.' 'Wilson, He was also the represen'ta'tive of the Ontario Government in Ireland anid Scotland •in 1910, and at•'the Wembley Exhibition in'England in 19'24. 'During his ,long professional service it is im'poss•ilbde to give more than the merest sketch of the work accomp- lished. Field "crop competitions were organized. ,A*few years ago these num- bered ' seven thousand members and the services of 1120 dudge's were re- quired: annually. Many Ontario tenm- ers can trace 'the sources of ' their' present good 'crop's to these competi- tions of Lockie Wilson, The cutting down .of the grant recently, dare to ec- onomy, seriously crippled 'the . field crop com!petitiou's, although they are still a big factor in IOnlbario a'gri!cul- u•re. As secretary of the competition's, fairs, vegetable .growers, h'ort!icuitural societies anid ploughman's associations Mr. Wilson was at one time respon- sible for the expepding,DE:tetal, grants: exceeding $200,000 a year. r', *,n la 'The old ,provincial aplloughing ,m'at'ch` was revived under Mr. Wilson in 1912 and the success achieved There was possibly the most speetacui'ai: of his long list of .results.
