' HAS TAUGHT BIBLE CLASS FOR 40 YEARS Town Clerk J. Taylor, of Hanover, Honored. Is a Son of Mrs. Geo. Taylor, Lower Windham. To be a teacher of a Sunday School Bible Class for two score years is a privilege enjoyed by few. Mr. John Taylor, Town Clerk of Hanover. holds that distinction, having taken over that class in the Methodist Sun- day School shortly after his arrival, in Hanover in 1895. Mr. Taylor is a son of 1VIrs. George Taylor, Lower Wing- ham, and Miss ,Sera Taylor is a sis- ter. In recognition of his splendid ser- vice, 175 members of the United Church, Hanover, including the Sun- day School staff and members of his class of former years gathered Fri- day evening, with Mr. Taylor as the honored guest. A sumptuous banquet Was served and a pleasing progaam presented. The historical sketch of the class since its inception in 1895 was reviewed. The high regard in which lvlr. Tay- lor is held was revealed in an illum- inating address which was read and the presentation of a handsome elec- tric heater. Mr. Taylor replied with Words of deep apj reciatidn. The play- ing of games rounded out a delightful evening. Origin of Maple Syrup According to a legend held by some Indian tribes, staple syrup was dis- covered in •the following manner: Woksis went out in search of game, while his squaw, Mogua, busied her- self with preparing the meal against his home -coming. As was customary, she boiled some moose meat in the sweet maple water. Forgetting her charge, however, the boiling 'sap thickened into .syrup. When Woksis returned and tasted the new dish he was so delighted that he informed the tribe that a heaven-sent instructor had taught his Mogua how to make this wonderful new dish. , 14 to [/V 1 e me �� „]Hairdressing �► Adams' Phone for Appointmenti'. ,y,, }� i' Willy i'< ru Y. P. S. MEETING WAS INTERESTING. Tlte,�j.' I' s: 'of the' United Church held their; regular weekly meeting ie the Sunday School room, on Monday evening, with the president, Mise Yvonne McPherson in the chair, The att'endanee was not as large asusual.' After the opening hymn: and prayer, the minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Miss Marjorie Gibson. Mrs. G. W, Howson, who led in the worship period, read the Scrip- ture, after which. Miss Blanche Ben- nett' made the comments, dealing with "The Great Commission.” Mrs, .A.r- thur Field then led in prayer. A vocal duet '`My Faith Looks up t� Thee" was beautifully rendered by Misses Celeste Carr and Lillian Peterman, accompanied by Miss Gibson. The topic took the form of a gen- eral discussion on Co -Operation and Competition, led by DeWitt Miller and Les. Clark. Many interesting points were e brpU h t up, Which prov- ed a very beneficial period. In the recreational period the `base- ball gafne, on biblical questions; was continued front last week. A member of chapters had been.'given out to be read, and those who had taken advant- age made it rather interesting: .Sides tyere chosen with jack Herd acting in the capacity of pitcher, who had prepared the 1. p ed ] e gai estibns. Those who did not know their Bible did not get to first base, and with this in balance` the game came out a tie. The gathering then formed in their respective groups and arranged for their part of the progrern for next week, during which time refreshments were served. The Friendship. Circle was, then formed and the benediction pronounced. BOOKS ON BENNETT AND MACKENZIE KING Some weeks ago a short biography was published of Rt. Hon. R.. B. Ben= nett, prime minister of Canada, by his former private secretary, Andrew MacLean, who gives a number of sidelights on the career and •character of the premier. Now it is announced that there will shortly appear a biog- raphy of the Liberal Leader, William. Lyon Mackenzie King, who was twice Premier ofCanada.. It was also writ •ten by a former private secretary, Prof. Norman Macleod Rogers, of Queen's University. Mr. Bennett and Mr. King have been outstanding fig- ures in Canadian parliamentary circles; for many years and perhaps no man is better able to get a slant on their general attitude to the Canadian con- stituency than their private secretar ies who have been thrown into close contact with them and get the low down on their personal viewpoint. History, it is said, is in reality the results of the action of our great men. There is no more entrancing reading than that of biography: DIED POWELL—In New York City, on Tuesday, April 9th, 1935, Martha M. Corbett, widow of the late John H. Powell. The funeral will be held from the C.N,R. station on arrival of train at 12.50 p.ni. on Friday, April 12th, 1985. Interment in the Winghatn Cemetery. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS Successful Lamb Project The lamb feeding project initiated by the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture whereby lambs raised on the ranges of Western Canada are fatten- ed in Ontario is now in its second year and: has provided a measure of permanency to the whole range -sheep industry that did not formerly exist, At the same thne, the eestablishinent of lamb fattening centres in Eastern Ontario has special significance in that the products from these feed -lots have gone a long way in opening up a larger clentand for lamb in eastern cities and towns. For example, fol- lowing the introduction of lamb fat- tening centres in the Ottawa- Valley in'1934, the city of' Ottawa this year is being regularly supplied With fresh feed -lot, lamb from farms in the'vic inity. The expanding trade and pop- ular cleutand for lamb in Ottawa and Toronto afford an illustration of what niay be accomplished et Montreal and other eastern cities, provided a source at :good redder -lambs is established. Eastern farmers who are able to Pro- duce plenty of the right kind of feed and are strategically located for re- ceiving and marketing- feeder lambs can easily capitalize on the results Which have been obtained by Ontario feeders last year and again this yeae.. Prost a ` beginning of • about. 3000 .,.I head in 11934; :thee Doinilnion Lamb Feeding iroject has expanded 'to l proximately '7,000 head in 1935, With nein feeders so 'Ideated to be able to cater to Montreal and to nnarket fur- titer eastward, the project might be profitably extndecl, to:+include 10,000 lambs in 1936. (Prairie Dry Wind The hurnidity of the air :acts as 'a cheek on evaporation, from the sur- face of the ground and also from the leaves and other parts of :plants. Rei' dative hiunidity is greatest in the vic- inity of large bodies of Watere.and on the western slopes of,l3ritish Colum- bia. The wind :blowing over the Pa- cific ocean becomes charged with moisture and in reaching the Coast 'Mountain range is forced to descend. It grows cooler until saturation point is reached when the excess moisture is deposited as rain. Passing over the mountains it descends, becomes warns- ,er, and reaches •the dry belt as 0 di'y wind, On arriving at the still higher elevations of the Selkirks and Rocky Mountains; it again parts with more moisture: and reaches the eastern slopes of the mountains and the prair- ies as quite a ctry wind, Wind, as a rule in -Canada, w With t greatest force on the Atlantic and Pacific 5 . on the rte shor of ts, shores the .Great. Lakes, and over the prairies. Dressed Poultry Exports 'With regard to the heavy exportsof dressed poultry to Great Britain, it would appear that Canada is faced with a desirability of exporting more high-grade poultry than is being ship- ped at present. According to the Do- minion .Department of Agriculture Egg and Poultry Market Review, a rather unfortunate feature of the pre- sent export movement is the fact that shipments are made up largely of the. lower grades. Unquestionably the ex- port market will absorb a certain vol- ume of low grade products • but there probably is a limit to which a market can be developed unless a certain am- ount of the higher class grades is pro- vided. Of the 23,491 boxes exported during January and February about 94 per .cent has been of Selected 13 and Selected C quality. Selected C qual- ity is the lowest commercial grade of poultry produced in Canada and Sel- ected 13 is only one grade better, Nei- ther of these grades of chickens is considered to be of the' quality most desired. Judging from reports of Bri- tish importers, Canadian importers, if they intend to increase their poultsy business in Great Britain, would be well advised to endeavour to export some of the higher grade product along with the grade B shipments. Soil Research Iii all countries soil research is the most important work m agriculture, and in this, as in other branches of science, Canada has taken a leading part. At the present time, with refer- ence to research and experimental projects in soils, over 100 separate undertakings are officially listed as being ander way in Canada. The num- ber of projects alone does not convey a true conception of the nature of the amount of the work being doneon soil problems. Because of the broad scone of research and experimental work in the investigation of soil prob- lems, ranging from fundamental stud- ies of the .soil itself through the whole field of soil -plant relationship in crop production, it is obviously difficult, as "Scientific Agricluture" points out, to niakemore than a very broad classifi-' cation. To indicate something of the field of investigation covered, the pro-' jects may be grouped roughly as fol- lows: -soil survey, 10 projects; soil AS A CEREAL OR iN COOKING it's FINE either way! it's so handy to have a package of Kellogg's ALL.BitAry in the kitchen.

This disease is a menace to nese stately trees. On the one hand, there have been several outbreaks in the United States where active campaigns' of spu- pression' are being carried out. On the other hand, the disease has not yet node its appearance in Canada where there is uncreasing vigilance, For sev- eral years the Dominion . Department of Agriculture has taken active steps to prevent the introduction of the dis- ease into Canada. Since 1928 elm treesand elm logs have been prohib- ited from entry, an endeavour was made to re -inspect all elms imported into Canada since the inauguration of the permit system in 1923, The work devolves on the Entomological Branch of the Departmentand in- spectors are constantly on the alert for disease -carrying` insects and for suspicious 5i n5 of the cs ea e eitherin the nurseries or in the planted or the native elms. All suspected mat- erial is forwarded to the plant patho- logical laboratories for culturing and testing. As showing the thorough work of the inspectors, adults and liv- ing larvae of bark beetles were found at Toronto recently under the bark of split ash poles used as . supports in containers for shipping china. Had • not these crates been destroyed, they possibly would .have. been used in some way and thus, an extended festation of this ' destructive insect might have followed. • Poultry Packing: Temperatures Dressed poultry should not be--pack- ed-in rooms in which the temperature is higher than 40, degrees Fahrenheit and in any case the birds should re- main in the packing .ronin as short a time as possible. If room temperatur- es of 38 to 40 degrees are maintained, the 'atmosphere should have a relative humidity below 65 idegrees. However, the golden rule is that birds should be packed at the temperature at which' they are pre -cooled. This pre -cooling process is best carried out at 30 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, as it is the lowest temperature that can be employed without freezing, but in actual prac- tice packing in that temperature is somewhat uncomfortable for the grad- ers and packers. At the same time, too high temperatures are to be avoid- ed for two reasons, one, if the birds are held very long in the packing room they warts up and to that ex- tent the advantage of pre -cooling is lost; and two, the moisture in the warm packing room condenses on the cold birds, resulting in ideal condi- tions for the growth of moulds and bacteria on the surface, High Quality Fertilizers Typical of the many modest, un- heralded acts of co-operation in the Canadian public services is the work of the 1,ii.nes Department, the Mining, Metallurgical, and Chemical Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and the Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture in produc- ing data and compiling the important animal report of production,'consunip- tion, imports and exports of fertiliz- ers in Canada. These reports show the yearly trend of the fertilizer trade and are useful to all concerned in Agriculture, to farmers, to fertilizer inanufacturers and importers, and to extension workers who aim to estab- lish the use of fertilizers in Canada on a sound economical basis. To -day 117 Canada there are virtually r10 poor quality fertilizers on the market. 'This may attributed largely to the high standards of quality required by the' Fertilisers Act, and tender the pres- ent control measures farmers may purchase any of the fertilizers sold in Canada with reasonable assurance of satisfactory results. Indeed, the re- quirements of the Act incline towards etreir higher :statidards of plant food content, which is all the mote bene - it to the user. Value of Bacon Grading Exports of Canadian bacon to the B 0 ritish Isles last year totalled 120,- 00,000 pounds and brought $20,000, 00. -to Canada. Yet the total, amount of bacon exported wee not half of the quota allotted, to Canada by the Em- ' Tracie Agr'eenient made in Ot- amv8 ion 1932.

Bacon grading is one of these services. Grading standardizes the t quality, grade, and appearance of the product exported, raises the level .of that export, establishes a basis of merchandizing Canadian bacon as a national product, and consolidates Canada's position for the future 'on a highly competitive market. A good story of the snappy come- back of the late Theodore Roosevelt is told. He was addressing a large crowd. "Mr. Roosevelt, why are you a Re- pbulicani'" asked a heckler. "Because my father and grandfather were both Republicans," was the re- ply. "What would you be if your fath- ed and grandfather had both been horse thieves?" again asked the heck- ler. "I'd be a Democrat!" Mr. Roosevelt replied. Two chorus ;giris were having tea together. 1 "Do you know," said tine,. "when the manager asked me my age, , I• couldn't for the life of me remember whether I was 20 or 21." "What did you say'" asked her friend. "Oh," replied the other, "I split the difference and said 19." "What are you children playing"" asked Mother one day. "We're playing church," replied, Jackie. "How nice!" said mother, "but wore shippersshouldn't wisper in church." "'We know that, mother;" said rack, "but we're the choir." The hotel clerk was growing impa- tient as the prospect took so long to read the names on the register. "Just sign on that line, please," said the clerk. The prospect was indignant and re- torted: "Young man, I'an too old a hand to sign anything without readin'. it." "Be a sport, cop.
