PORT- lovers well recognize
how often the game is won
by the "reserves" which are
brought into play.
It is quite as true in the life of
every family that financial re-
serves are of the utmost import-
ance. A comfortable savings
balance, added to each week,
builds gradually into a strong
force waiting to be called upon
if help is needed.
So often it tides a family over rough
places. At all times it is a positive source
of peace of mind and freedom from
anxiety.

HURON COUNTY LEADS
OINPAtRIIiO IN POULTRY
Did you, kn'o'w that there is More
p:oultryin'Huron County than in any
other County in the province?
This is a fact and one not generally
lcno•wn by the average citizen not par-
ticularly interested in, this most im-
portant farm industry. According to
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for
11031, the latest available, the total
:number ,of fowls in Huron county
stood at 1,3111,613, valued .at' S5.07,335.
TWO, other counties in Ontario are sev-
er the .million mark, .namely, Middle-
sex, with. . 1,066,5117 and ILambton with
1,004,192.
San M'dLeod, Huron County Agric-
ultural Representative, in an interview
declared that while the statistics for
1932 have not been made known from
Ottawa, he was firmly convinced that
lass year's figures would be as great
f not greater than in 1931. Middlesex
county formerly headed the list in
holdings of poultry, but Huron coun-
ty went to the tap when the number
of Hatcheries increased.
kIuron County also heads the list
in the holdings in ducks, according
the 193'1' statistics, which show 23,3+65.
I3uron was third in the 'number of
geese, with 124,7:715 on hand.
Everyone does not realize it, but
poultry raising in Huron county is
one of the basic farm -industries.
'Farmers have gape into the poultry
business and each year they pay more
attention to 'the flocks. Hatcheries
have been started and Huron Cbunty
turnsh
tut t ousain'dsupon
-
thousands
o sands
of chicks each year which !find a ready
market in widely distributed points,"
said Mr. McLeod,
He pointed out that aocording to
recent word from the Bureau of Stat-
istics et 'Ottawa the holdings in meat,
dressed poultry and eggs are down as
compared with year ago. If the old
rule of supply and demand is taken
into considerattion, this may mean that
there will he a strengthening in price
to the producer.
The statistics for 195,1 show the va-
lue of poultry in Huron . as being
$507;33'•5, Mr. McLeod stressed the
importance of poultry raising by
pointing out that the value of sheep
in Huron in that year stood at $2130,-.
211, which is a -little over half the is-
hue of poultry. The value' of cattle was
$4,072,3012,• hors es $11,9123;633; hogs
$50,7,335.
\4r. McfLeod stated that with 1,-
311,61l,3 birds and approxitna'tely 6,000
farms in the county, it meant an av-
erage cif 2118 chickens to a +fart?, or an
average value of $84.15 per farm.
There are twelve dealers in Huron
county .rnotw handling poultry,
The poultry industry' in Huron has
forged its way forward in the past
few years, although .the real "start
came hack in the late '90's w'hebn the
Dlomtinio,n Government built an ex_
perintental .breeding station - at Hahne!'
&vide.
'There is no better quality of poul-
try, in any centre in the province than
in 'Huron county, said Mr. McLeod.
The majority of 'birds are Barred
Rocks and White,Leghorns.
r"The flock of chickens oh the farm.
used' to be considered the hobby of -
the farmer's wife and the 'children but
of late years the farmer has realized'
that poultry produces revenue and has
paid more attention to his flocks,
said Mr. McLeod.
An interesting fact, it was pointed,
out, is +that. et !the present time poul-
try is marketed each weelc, whereas
',re former years, October, November
a n¢1 December were the only months
when ti there' was much marketing 6f

Time was when Dave Clendenning
never missed a lodge meeting. But
after • going through the chairs he
had sort of eased off. Besides, he
didn't like night driving.
So, although he had received his no-
tice for the coming meeting, he had
comfortably forgotten it. till Pete
Roswell's telephone call impressed
on him the important nature of the
business'to:be transacted.
"All right, Pete, I'll be there," he
answered . . . and returned home

Avoid Inferior Seed
No o one can afford to risk ,buying
inferior seed with the margin of
profit in farming as smell as it is 'to-
day, states M. M. "Munn; State ' Seed
Analyst in New York and well known
in Canada. "Already this season 'cer_
tai,:j-papers are carrying alluring ad-
vertisements of 'b'argain' seed's, that
is seeds that are quoted at ridiculous-
ly low prices," says Mr. Munn. "Slime
farmers, in order to econom'i'se have
sent away for some of the'se so-called
bargains but whe n'tests; were made
in the seed laboratory, these in near-
ly every case; have been found unfit
or even dangerous ,for ,planting be-
cause of low or weal: germination, or
on account of the large variety of
weed seed they contain." "
"Bargain seedls.," continues this au-
thority, "are never worth buying and
farmers should pay no attention to
advertisements where price alone is
'the only description given, Reliable
seodsnien do not approve of advertise-
ments .where seed's are. offered at
