SURPLUS POWER
IS NECESSARY
I•.
The current monthly letter of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce, in deal-
ing with the subject of power sup-
plies and requirements at the present
time, confirms strikingly the conclu-
sions reached. by Dr, F. A. Gaby,
Chief Engineer of the Hydro -Electric
Power Commission of Ontario, in Ms
comprehensive published analysis of
power trends.
The provision of adequate electrical
power to Meet actual demartids, .with
reserve margin to ensure continuous
service and to take up the temporary
slackening that occurs during depres-
sion, is a subject regarding which
many conflicting Statements lave been
made, but which can readily beunder
stoo"d if the basic considerations set
out in these surveys are kept in. mind.
Broadly speaking, growth ;in elec-
trical demand in the more populated
portion of Ontario during the eight-
een years up to> 1930 was of the or-
der of 11 per •cent. per year, a rate
of growth that had been consistently
maintained throughout this 1dng per-
iod. The arrangements for new pow-
er supplies to meet these growingde-
mands must be taken in hand well ine
advance; beacuse it takes several
years ,tet , arrange for waterpower lea$-
es, to draw alp designs, and to carry
out construction projects for' large
hydro -electric power plants. This, on
a million -horsepower system, 'means
that hundreds of thousands of horse-
power must be planned or contracted
for 'and under construction, in addi-
tion to the power actually in use at
any time.,
The other main consideration is,
'how much reserve power capacity in
,excess of actual demands is it .con-
sidered good practice to maintain ac-
tually available? To care for ordin-
ary operating contingencies and en-
sure continuous reliable service, many
large power undertakings keep a re-
serve or spare capacity on hand of 30
nee cent. or more. :The 'hydro -Elec-
tric Power Commission of Ontario,
with. its uniformly high standards. of
contsrnction and other favourable cir-
cumstances, is able to maintain its
service with a minim= reserve cap-
acity of but 10 per cent. These min-
ium ' percentages 4pply to prosperous`,
ti es and represent the desirable
spare capacity at the time of the day

greatest
Of course, when the factories shut
down for the night; extra reserve cap-
acity corresponding to their tempor-
arily discontinued ` power ''demands
must be kept available until nbrning.'
Correspondingly, when there is an in-
dustrial depression,, extra power re-

amount of idleness. of factories lutist
be kept on hand. Otherwise the fac-
tories could not resume operation and
re-employ their workmen when' the
dawn of recovery appears.
Of course, 'in the meantime, until
general industry fully resumes its nor-
mal demandsfor power; it iinport

these necessary special power reserves
as low as possible. The Hydro Corn-.
mission is accomplishing this through"

for the Hydro .municipalities or for
the maintenance of a supply of firm
power. As a result .of these efforts,
there was in December, 1933, no com-
mercial power capacity idle on any
of the Commission's systems owned
by Hydrb municipalities except the
Niagara system, and even on that sys-
tem, the amount of unutilized com-
•
mercial capacity was less than 125;-

only $8,424,000 less than all the On-

of mines in North Ontario created a

He spoke of the Abitibi Canyon
deal as a great bargain and that thi
purchase: would. assure Northern On

sentral to its development, He said
that in 1935 this project would be
paying its own way and .have a ter-
mendous surplus of"power in reserve
Prospecting has become a, grea
business, $10,000,000 will be spent thi
year in Northern 'Ontario in searc

development creates a wonderful mar-

Kingston' firm's business was making

Mentioning Byrdo, it was here that
Mr. McCrea'classed Mr. Hepburn as
a "wrecker and ',not : a builder." He
said we have Hydro to -day because
the Conservatives had championed it.
He said that the people of. Ontario
had been `saved $30,000,000 by Hydro
in 1932, in comparison with rates for
similar service in the United States.
He said the Liberals say, Hydro is all
wrong but they got a clean sheet for
the Commission who investigated.
Mr. McCrea said that. before the
last session the Liberals had said that
they -would expose the Government
but it has been the quietest session in
his 23 years in the House. All: the
bombs thrown by the Liberals turned
out to be duds. '
Staple, sound government had al-'
ways been the' boast of .the Conserva-
tive party of Ontario and he.said like
the British they would stay put and
ride the ship of state succee,sfiil:Iy'out

`Mr. McCrea stated that it was the
duty of the. province to tide the un-
employed people over this depression
time and the government took that
responsibility.
In eulogizing his leader, Mr. Mc-
Crea . said George Henry is an out

als are not united .and many Liber

election because, they want stability
and'are jealous of the institution that
we have.
Due to the late hour of the after-
noon Mr. George Spotton, M.P.; only
spoke for a few moments but he took
time to tell his audience that the Ben-
nett administration was the first gov-
ernment to have the courage to in-
vestigate big busiriess concerns and
that much good will come from this
investigation.

MORTALI`T'Y IN
BABY CHICKS
(Experimental Farms Note)
It is a regrettable truth that, with
the rapid expansion which has taken
place in the :poultry industry in the
past decade, there has been an in-
creased mortality that seems to be
out 'of proportion to the increase in
number of chickens hatched. It
would be hard 'to sywhat single ag-
ent has been mostly responsible for
the high death rate but, where :mor-
tality is abnormal, th'e cause may be
traced to one or more of the follow-
ing hazards: inferior or diseased
breeding stock; faulty incubation;
poor brooding

this source has increarsed. Reputable
hatcheries have exorcized every ef-

and their customers by blood -testing,
vaccination, drastic culling of inferior
birds, careful attention to sanitation,
and the' introduction of only new
blood that showed vigour and vital-
ity. Stock distributed from a source
where these vital precautions have
been practised may be as reliable as
any hatched on the home plant but,
where the source of supply either of
eggs or of chicks is in doubt, the risk
of disease and high_, mortality is in-
deed great. We have found in all lay-
ing contests that, when there is a
congregation of large numbers of
birds from various origins, the mor-
tality is high; and this risk must be
present in a greater degree when baby
chicks are produced and distributed
under siknilar conditions. Poor vital-
ity and hereditary disease in the par-
ent stock are greatly responsible for
high mortality in chicks, but poor fertilizer mixtures. The improvement

and Tack of sunlight, eourage toe -

tality.
The modern incubator, in capable
hands, has -almost disposed of the
danger from faulty incubation and it
is seldom that disaster can be traced
to this cause. Better knowledge of
breeding, feeding, and rearing, has
been acquired by scientific research
and investigation, resulting in the el-

from 10 to 17 per cent. of nitrogen

.The chief advantage claimed for the
use of high -analysis materials is that
fertilizing costs can be materially re-
duced by a saving in freight and.

The results obtained from the ap-

SPRING
Spring more than any of the other
four seasons calls forth a kindly feel-,
ing, if we are to judge by the many
familiar quotations which describe
spring as "gentle" or "sweet" and as-
sociating this particular season with
"thoughts of love."
The housewife's feelings may "still
be continue but. necessity has given
to her a practical view of life. Spring
time to the housewife is a time for
cleaning but spring cleaning is not
what it was in. the old days — thank
goodness for that!
When floors were entirely covered
with,•carpets, well tacked down, when
heavy drapes adorned the windows
and furniture and when vacuum clean-
ers were unknown, the "storm troops".
were called in: when rooms were to be
given a real cleaning. Novtthat homes
are differently furnished, and we have
facilities for regular cleaning, the:
hones can be kept clean at all times,
and spring cleaning is just an extra.
polish in keeping with the spirit of
the season.
Just as houses used to be -smother-
ed in.heavy carpets and hangings, so
the human body was laden with heavy
woollens, the women encasing' them-
selves in corsets. under stuffed dress-
es. The house was kept tightly seal-
ed against the :cold and so the people,
of those felt "good old days"
y half-
dead when spring came and quite mat-
urally they thought that they needed
sulphur and molasses to free them of
the winter's evils and sar,sparilla to,
purify 'their blood. Spring would not
have been complete for them without
some decoction which could be called
a spring tonic.
Many people still live in the past.
They
be found d
t ut a bottle of medicine, that
a "tont" takes the place of fresh air,
sunshine; exercise and proper foods,
S'ttn1iglft'and ,`ftd s'.'air are' the real
spring 'tonics and they' eost, nothing;'.
With the coming of Spring, as"rntrclr:
time as possible should' be spent 'in
the open air and r:un'sliine. Start to
walk all or part of the way to work;
take a stroll otrt.side ai lrlrreh time and
in this way get exercise, fresh air and
a..
sunshine. v,'.
When resuming regluar exercise, go
at it slowly. Stop before you are ex-
hausted. Regulate your exercise ac-
cording to your age. For the child
and young adult, vigorous games are -.
good; after thirty, ''moderation' and
avoidance, of `overstrain are desirable.
The secret of good health lies in
a balanced diet, fresh air, sufficient
exercise and rest. Use water freely
inside and outside. Secure regular el-
imination. .Be moderate in all things.

Suggested Changes in
Spraying Operations Due
To Winter Injury-
The
njuryThe Ontario Spray Calendar recoil],
mends the following changes in spray-
ing operations on account of winter
injury:
In districts (or orchards) where in-
jury to fruit trees is severe and only
in such districts, we would recom-
mend that the first sprays outlined in
the Ontario Spray Calendar should be
modified as follows:
Apples—Outside the Niagara Dis-
trict, Essex and Kent, do not spray
for San Jose Scale except on trees
on which it was conspicuous last year,
On these use either lune' sulphur 1-7
or 3% lubricating oil emulsion in 3-
6.40 Bordeaux. Omit oil spray for
red mite this year. On trees on which
San Jose Scale was not conspicuous
Iast year, use only, 3-6-40 73ordeaux.
Pears—Where Pear Psylla is trou-
blesome use a 2% lubricating oil
spray; elsewhere omit spray.
Plums—On Japanese Plums omit
the first spray,
Peaches—Where San Jose' Scale is
not present, spray with 'Bine sulphur
1-5 or Bordeaux Mixture 3-4-40; else-
where use lune sulphur 1-7.
Sweet Cherries --Use one-half putt
nicotine sulphate, and 2 lbs. soap to
40 gallons water,
Iu setwtion, or orchards where there
is not winter injury or no appreciable
injury, the spray calendar recommen-
dations should be followed.
