CARD OF THANKS and remarkably superior to the Idol=` ish and Chilean varieties, Assembling Canadian Wool \Vith ;the double object in view of reducing transport costs and facilitat- ing the subsequent grading of wool, which is done by graders of the pg - minion Department of Agriculture, the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, Ltd., provided separate as- sembly points for areas where the wool falls into the same category. Tlie wool of the three Maritime Pro- vinces passes through four ware- houses held by affiliated associations in those areas, while the Province of Quebec is covered by an association which consigns wool to the Lennox- ville warehouse of 'the Co-operators, the bulk of eatei'n wool being handled at these five centres. The main depot is at Weston, Ont. which has .a capacity for storing 4, 000,000 0 po ii�ncls of -wool. To this de- pot0 0 pot and the subsidary warehouse at Carleton Place is consigned the wool of Ontario and the western 'provinc- es. These two centres thus handle the western "Range', and western "Domestic" wool, which is assembled by eight .associations, oneof which (The Southern Alberta Sheep Breed- ers) dispatched over one and a quar- ter million pounds of wool in a single season. From June to August part of the western supplies are .received also at the eco -operators' depots at Portage la Prairie, Man., and at Re- gina. tic" wools. The former come chief- ly from the southern sections of Al- berta and Saskatchewan and, being of merino strain, are the finest quality wools produced in Canada, The Domestic wools of the West. wools, the .eastern l th com arab e to are p but, in additiontothe ord na ry grade specifications, are subdivided into "Bright" "semi -bright" and "dark - because. the varying, climatic condit- ions ond it ions under which the wool is produc- ed result in differences in conditions and quality. Of the four and a half million pounds of wool collected by the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Ltd., in 1929-30, western Range wool accounted for 2,144,000 lbs., western Domestic for 1,266,000, and. Eastern '.Domestic for 1,012,Q00 lbs. The fleeces are graded at the association's depots by qualified grad- ers supplied by the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph. Pugh wish to thank their many friends who call- ed at their home on their Golden Wedding Day, also for the lovely flowers, cards; letters, phone calls and gifts they received. There were many more who would have called if wea- ther and roads had permitted. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS Deeper Laying Peiis Favored A poultry house 20 by 20 feet is regarded as about the correct size for one hundred' laying hens. A house of this size used at the federal Ex- perimental Station, Harrow, Ont., is ,proving satisfactory. Birds in a smaller house, 16 by 18 feet, appear- ed to be more uncomfortable during the winter months. This condition, as stated by the Superintendent, was borne out by the behaviour of the birds in the smaller house for they would seek shelter from;the draught and huddle in corners. An outbreak of colds and roup confirmed: this con- dition, as no 'trouble of this nature was experienced in the larger house. A careful record of the variation in temperature' of the two houses showed comparatively little differen- ce. Thisuncomfortable condition was believed to be due to draughts created in the narrower . house. Published by direction of Hon. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, Ottawa, 1932 New Cattle Regulations By Order in Council an important alteration has been made in the quar- antine regulations governing the im- portation ofcattle into Canada. It has now been decreed that cattle re- acting to the tuberculin test or show- ing clinical symptoms of tuberculosis shal] be permanently marked inthe. right ear with the letter "T" and shall be slaughtered forthwith, without compensation, or returned to the country of origin. The above order is contained in the new Section 57 of the Quarantine Regulations under the Animal Contagious Diseases Act, and is substituted for the deleted. Sec- tions 57 and 58 of the Act as amend- ed in 1927. Under the deleted Sec- tion 57 an officer making the test could release the animal at the ex- piry of the prescribed period of quar- antine if found free from all other infectious or contagious diseases, while by Section 158 cattle showing symptoms of tuberculosis could be destroyed or otherwise ,disposed of. as the Minister of Agriculture might direct. Now diseased animals must be slaughtered forthwith or returned to the country of origin. 44* Orient Buys Our Potatoes Canadian potatoes are finding thei way into the markets of the Far Eas figuring in the lists of imports of Br tish Malaya, According •to the la est reports available, 71 tons... wer marketed in 1931 as against 28 ton in 1929.

In ad- dition to the regular work of inspec- tion by approval, the inspection staff shakes approximately 40,000 calls an- nually on wholesale and retail dealers throughout the country. This is for the purpose of checking up outgoing shipments or deliveries, the purchase of current store -keepers and jobbers, and giving instructions and, direction in candling and grading in accord- ance with the Canadian Standards. Occupier and Manager Farms One-eighth of the land infarms • iris; the Dominion is occupied by straight,• tenants, as shown by the figures ofr the last census. Taking . the country as a whole, says the "Economic,An- nalist” published by, the: Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, ;20,038,878 acres are occupied by tenants. Sev- en hundred and twenty-eight thous- and and twenty-three farms in the Dominion. ° occupied a total area of 163,254,959 acres.

HORSE 1[S STILL HMG. Ponies Had to Carry ✓Praetors : Rs Public Stock Yards in 1932.. During the twelve months of 1932, fewer cattle were marketed at public stock yards by approximately 76,000 head, as compared with the. previous year. The most notable •reductions were made in . consignments to the Winnipeg 'market and to Calgary. The curtailment in the movement to market, says the Live Stock Meat Trade Review, Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa, should not, however, be considered as an indication of a relative decline in production. Prices .were a ruling influence for a' com- mendable caution in respect 'to load- ings. It was pointed out most fre- quently during the year that the 'con- dition of the market was such that even a -normal run, would develop al- most unsaleable carry-overs.
