THE BOY AND HIS Doe Tbk., dog inay be a dumb animal but the intelligence he displays at tunes is worthy of great considera- tion, 2aaiy person who owns a dog • will tell time and time again of the intelligent things that his pet will do. But to the young boy the dog is more than a pet, he is in a great many cases hi$ benefactor, Try and take away from the boy his dog, be it mongrel or thoroughbred, and he will fight for its possession just as the deg will stick to his young master. At Paris the other day a child fell •into the race -way and the frantic •barking of his dog brought help, but sad to relate, too late, as the boy had already breathed his last. The dog, however, did its best for the • boy. " Most of us will remember in the days of our youth how we loved and cared for our pet dog and the boy of to -day is no different. A dog may be a duinb animal, but try and tell his boy master that. * * * GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE DIREST RELIEF The Govertunent at Queen's Park by showing $19,072,000 for relief pur- poses, have shown that they intend for another year at least to continue with 'direct relief. This is a tremen- dous sum of money for one province to have to spend in such a manner, but the fact remains that the jobless people must be taken care of until work can. be found at which they can make a living for themselves and their dependents. From Oct. 1931, to Oct., 1932, the province has spent $37,540,000 an relief; this has cost the provincial government over 000,000;, the Federal Government $11,000,000 and the municipalities about $12,500,000. That Canadians are willing and ready to work is a forgone conclus- ion, but until the day arrives when we have work for our people we will have to continue to care for them, and tif course, pay the bills. * Last week was the first week of Spring, even if you did not recognize It. * * * People -witl; a sweet tooth will now have to pay 2c a pound more to get it satisfied. * * * The Ontario Budget only containedit ,one new tax and it will not affect 't any of us in mu- present state. * * * * Mayple Syrup operations are slow in getting under way in this district due to cold weather, but the good t news that sap is running is now quite $ general. • ...Tug': WIN OFIAM .41)YANCEIMES • • Thursday, M rch 30th, 1933 Babe Ruth has signed a contraet [those who understand the plight o with the New York Giants for 12.C. the farmer at this time it would seen 000 for .the season.

Perhaps, in no part of Canada has the potato crop suffered more from not planting at the best time than in the province of Ontario, where it is cutsomary for most farmers to plant about the last week of May or early in June. Earlier planting, it is con- tended by many farmers, does not seem to be desirable owing to the importance of planting other crops early and from the fact that a fine crop of potatoes can be obtained by' planting late. Evidence, however, is strongly Nin favour of planting potat- oes for maximum crops not later than May 15 in Ontario, except in the nor- thern part where the time of planting has to be governed by the time the land is in ,coriclition, In the Maritime Provinces, owing to the lateness of the spring and the coldness of the soil, planting during the first two weeks of June gives the best results. The late spring is compensated by a long autumn with- out frost, ensuring the development of tubers at a time when the plants are dead. in other parts of Canada. The lower St. Lawrence region of the province of Quebec has climatic conditions sOmewhat•like those in the Maritime provinces and June plant- ing gives the best results. In parts of Quebec where tile spring is rila- tively early but where late frosts oc- cur, early planting is desirable.

It is often wise for a man to get away from his active operations and take a careful view of his life, noting what prog- ress he has made and how he can best plan his future. And he could nott be hid. The men who win fame in this world are usually the men who strive for it. But the peculiarity of Jesus is that worldly fame beset hiiri when he was striving to avoid it.

Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- • culture, Ottawa, 1932 Base of a Hedge Important Hedges will thrive best if the soil is kept cultivated and free of weeds to a width of two feet or more On each side and an occasional top dress- ing of well -rotted barnyard manure is • given. Some complete fertilizer will no doubt prove of benefit, es- pecially ,if the soil is light, says the Department of Agriculture at Ott- awa, but it should be kept off the foliage. As.to the shape of the hedge, it is to be remembered that a broad top is liable to hold too much snow and thus spread the hedge. It can not be too strongly emphasized that it is most important to have the broadest part of the hedge at the base, no matter what form it may take further. up. The mistake , was made at Ottawa of letting some hedg- es become broadest half -way up, with the result that the bottom became weak., - • On Flanders Fields . fire twenty-six packets of seed of Canadian wild flowers sent last year by the Experimental •Farms Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture to* the War Graves Committee have been planted in Flanders and in the other battlefields in France and Eu- rope; • Canadian Canned Fruit The excellence of Canadian canned fruits exported to Britain has called public attention in that country to the fact that canned fruit and vegetables are inspected by the GcrJernment of Canada, All canning' factories in Can- ada which do interprovincial or ex- port trade are inspected by officers of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture undez..the Meat and Canned Foods Act for sanitary conditions and the products for quality, that part of the Act relating to fruit being ad- minisered by the Fruit Branch of the Department.

In twelve months Canada, jumped from twelfth position to fourth on the list. China Wants Live Stock ' The • Chinese notwithstanding the troublotts times in the North, for some time past have shown great in- terest in Canadian agricultural pro- duce, live stock and manufactures, This is due mostly to personal con- tact with Canadian, traders. Writing to the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture, the fieldman for British Columbia of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders' Association, who has just returned from a visit to China, re- marks: "Whilst talking to soma of our prospective Chinese buyes, they asked if I could send them some pam- phlets that would help them in ref. erence to the care, management, and feeding of dairy cowt, swine, poul- try, etc.` There is undoubtedly a great Enjoy This Finer Quality "Fresh from the Gardens" and growing dernand for live stoc in China and anything we can do fo them may help to bring the trade to Canada, and we need it." Canadian Farm Poultry The total value of all descriptions of farm poultry in Canada in 1932 is officially estimated at $34,738,000 as compared with $43,138,000 in the pre- vious year. Farm Help Wages Wages of male farm labour in Can ada fOr the last summer season were reported as $19 per month in 1932 as again $25 in 1931 and $34 in 1930, says the Economic Annalist. For wo- men the amount was $11 as against $15 in 1931:The value of board for men is placed at $15 per month as against $18 in 1931, and $22 in 1930; for Women $12 as compared with $15 in the preceding year, Call For Pathologists "The great activity in crop im Prevenient that has been characteris tic of agricultural development • in Canada and the United States sinc the beginning of the present century has been accornpanied by such an in- creased call on the services of the plant pathologists that each of the staple crops has, not one, but many men engaged in the study of the cause and control of the diseases to which it is liable."—Dr. E.

The figures just to hand for the past year promise to outdo this record by exceeding the average for the first eight months. However, for the last four months the average dropped be- hind that of the corresponding mon- ths by about 1,115,000 pounds. When to Water a Horse The practice of inexperienced horsemen in watering their horses af- ter feed is a dangerous one because the digestive fluids are interfered with and sickness is often the result. "Water before feeding (in a quantity depending on the warmth of the horse) and again before going to work, when only a moderate drink will suffice," is the dictum of the Horse Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. Full Measure Binder Twine From the results of recent inspec- tions of binder twine by the Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture it is evident that man- ufacturers are not seeking to take ad- vantage of the tolerance of 5 per cent allowed by the Inspe,ction and Sale Act in the length per pound guaran- teed. Of 381 samples tested last year, 236 exceeded the length per lb, guaranteed, and only 5 were short of the 5 per cent limit of tolerance. Canadian Tobacco Features • The oustanding feature of the to- bacco -growing industry in Canada continues to be the .growing import- ance of the bright flue -cured type, says the Economic Annalist, publish- ed by the Dorninien Department of Agriculture. Production of this type has risen from 8 314 million pounds in 1928 to 27 million pounds in 1932.

DIESEL ENGINE GOES 113 MILIES, USING • $1.20 WORTH OF FUEL Flashing over the rails at 65 mules an hour, the first Diesel electric traitt ever used on an English main line had a successful trial 'on the 118-mi1e run from London to Birmingham. Five minutes ahead, puffing clouds of smoke and ,steam, sped the regular London -Birmingham flier but the Diesel train travelled just as fast and noiselessly. It required only 25 gal- lons of fuel, costing a total of seven shillings(.about $1.20 at current ex- change) for the journey. The trip opened startling possibil- ities fot the hard pressed British rail- way cotripanies, which have been keeping' to steam. for a century be- cause of the cheapness of British coal. Recently the Southern Railway tried a new departure, electrifying the maia line from London to Brigh- ton, but at a heavy initial cost and after three years' work. Not only is the coal industry wor- ried by the success of the Diesel train but the advocates of electrifi- cation are beginning to wonder Whe- ther the • Diesel or storage battery system is not cheaper and, better fit- ted to British conditions, "All things that speak of heaven speak of peace."—Bailey. • OFF COLOOR?
