News and ;I;nformation For the Busy Farmer Furinished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture They Do Make Good There is food for thought in the fact that out of the fifteen times Can- ada has won the wheat championship at the International Exhibition, it has beery won twelve times by English- men who came to the Dominion with- out previous farming experience. Live Stock Instruction Short course students as well as regular students attending 0. A. C. are afforded an opportunity to bene- fit by all the activities of the Depart- ment of Animal Husbandry which has charge of the well equipped Live Stock Farm. For the last two years the Stock and Field Crops Short Course has been extended from two weeks to a month's duration, which is so divided that considerable time is allotted to the judging of the prin- cipal classes of live stock and discus- sing the important problems of feed- ing and management common to each class. The 1930 calendar offers an additional privilege to the Short Cour- se students in the form of a six-day course in farm meats. Live Starck at 0. A. C. The live stock at 0. A. C. has gone into winter quarters in satisfactory condition despite the shortage of fall pasture. This year the college brood mares had an extra fine lot of foals of the good draughty type needed to improve the horse industry. They are in good growing condition and for. the present fill an important place in live stock teaching work. Quite a number of cows and heifers in the beef barn are nursing very' promising calves and the situation for instruc- tion work in beef cattle is favorable. In the, dairy barn, students are able to work on ring after ring of dairy. cattle that are typical representatives of their respective breeds.The sheep population on the farm has been in- creased and sheep breeding projects can be carried on more extensively than in recent years. The swine herd is up to strength. This herd provides material for class -room and slaughter- house instruction, as well as hogs for experimental purposes. The breeding stock have a number of fall litters. that are quite promising. It will be seen from this review that the De partment of Animal Husbandry is do- ing its part in building up the live stock industry of the province. Water For Hens An egg contains a large amount of water and the hen's body is likewise composed for a great part of water. The hen should drink approximately twice as match water by weight, as Business men a'ppr'eciate the competent scrvIce with. which business accounts are handled byTheDc i,. m nYon Bank. . THS she eats feed. One hundred hens that are laying should consume about four gallons of water per day.. In view of these facts it is apparent that the wa- ter supply is particularly important, more so during thewinter months. Failure to supply water properly hin- ders digestion and will cause consti- pation, with a resultant curtailment of egg production, Protects .Fruit Trees Two methods are adopted at the Central Experimental Farm- to pro- tect fruit trees from injury through being girdled by mice and rabbits. The first ,one is to wrap the trunks of the trees' with building paper, and the other one is to encircle the trunk with a wire protector with a small enough mesh to prevent ` a mouse from going through it. In either case the, paper or protectors must be put close to the ground, or better still, set in a shovelful of cinders. These forms of protection should be put on now, particularly on trees up to six inches in diameter: Crop Acreages' The following statistics of the,prin cipal field crops of Ontario for 1929 show the acreage as compiled by the Ontario Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the Dominion T3ureau of Statistics: 1928 1929 Fall Wheat 693,660 691,662 Spring wheat 109,805 106,610 Oats 2,659,980 2,335,310 Barley 615,544 : 622,063 Rye 66,307 52,023 Flax • •7,964. 5,492 Buckwheat 271,243 294,338 Peas 109,887 79,523 Mixed grains 905,693 892,897 Husking corn • 110,192 120,000 Beans 50,953 63,732 Fodder Corn Alfalfa Alsike ,.

Ottawa. It is hoped that this gathering may be the per - cursor of many such events in other counties of the province. Canada's Victories Canada's victories at the Interna- tional Live Stock Exposition and Grain Show in Chicago have been the subject of many eulogistic remarks. Among the coveted honors won by the. Dominion were the championship for' wheat, grand champion Shorthorn male and female, grand champion Clydesdale stallion and mare, chain- pion carlot of market lambs, numer- ous championships in `sheep classes, and many prizes in grain and steels, secured by exhibitors from Ontario west to Alberta. Probably the out- standing individual victory was the capture of first prize for the best bushel of wheat by a hithertoun- known farmer 'from the foothills of Alberta. This impressive showing once again demonstrates `that Cana- da's Soil and climate are the most fa- vorable in the world 'for producing the highest quality farm products. Current Crop,Report Poultrymen in. Durha.inreported a substantial increase in egg. produc= tion from poultry and in some cases a 50 per cent. production is declared. The snow and ice have played havoc with. the sugar beets remaining in the ground in Essex but interest is main- tained in auction sales at which good prices .are reported.. The cheese fac- tory patrons in Glengarry have been greatly disappointed and the revenue from that source is half a million dol- lars less than last year. In Huron ' the prices for cream have been the 'lowest in three years. A water shor- tage is expected in Lanark as a result of the snow and ice:blockage of the water sources. In Lincoln, the bright ,spot of the heavy snowfall seems to be the excellent covering provided for !the fall wheat. 'Middlesex and Perth report pessimistically regarding the condition of the roads and the falling off of milk sales. Welland suffered heavy damage to fruit trees with ov- ' er 250 telephone and electric poles down. HUMIDITY IN HOUSE HEATING The air in Canadian houses during a large portion of the artificial heat- ing season is, with few exceptions, drier than that of the driest desert. This is a fact which Canadian either. do not know ordo; not appreciate. E•Iouse heating is inure than the simple process of maintaining the in- door tetnperature at that point where one does not reel cold. The designers of preserit day heating apparatus have done ekcellcttt 'work considered from that standpoint; but, as a rule, they have neglected to take into account the natural law which governs the re- lation between air temperature and air moisture. The result is that, gen- erally speaking, Canadian indoor air during the winter is excessively dry. This excessive air dryness is injur- ious to health, affecting more par;,: titularly the respiratory organs and the skin. It is destructive to wood work and furniture, and to clothing and furnishing fabrics• It also nec- essitates the maintenance of higher temperatures for comfort than with air containing adequate moisture. Many people believe that excessive- ly dry air conditions are to be found only in houses heated by certain types of heating equipment; also that such undesirable conditions may be rem- edied by opening the windows and admitting large quantites of cold out- door air. "Humidity in House' Heating," a bulletin recently published by Dom- inion Fuel Board in co-operation with the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the In- 1 terior, points out that cold air sat- urated with moisture becomes dry on heating -not because moisture has been removed, but because . of its greatly increased moisture capacity at the 'higher temperature. The air in houses during the winter cannot be otherwise than dry, finless provision is made in the heating equipment, or by other means, to satisfy adequate- ly this increased moisture capacity. Moreover the admission of large quantities of outdoor air increases to a corresponding extent the moisture which most be supplied for this'pur- pose. "Humidity, in House Heating," dis- cusses briefly in non-technical lan- guage the essential features of air dryness in house heating -cause, ef- fect, and remedy. It explains' what is meant by the expression, "relative humidity," and points out that, for health and comfort, indoor relative humidities, of from 40 to 50 per cent. should be maintained throughout the. winter. • It shows how a hygrometer is used to measure relative hutnidit- ies, and points out that the effective control of humidifying equipment de- pends upon results as measured by means of this instrttn'tent. In addition to indicating, in a gen- erala w Y, various tykes of hunidif-. iers which may be used, either in con-'. jtttletion with the heating equiprnent or independently, to supply the itois-'. ture for healthful humidification, this bulletin stresses that fact tdiat',.the' evapor'ation of a few quartsof water. per day fat the average Canadian house during 'the winter Months gives practically no relief from 'air dryness. The evaporation of from three or, four' to twelve or more gallons per day may be necessary, depending upon weather conditions and ventilation. The purpose in issuing "Hiunidity in House Heating" is not only to fur- ther the cause of good health but to promote the more efficient em- ployment of the fuel used for house heating; since the fuel used to main- tain the high temperature of 72° to 75 forcomfort under dry air condi- tions may be used to greater advan- tage in evaporating the water for healthful humidification of air at the moderate comfort temperatures so re- quired. Copies of "Humidity in House Heating" may be obtained free on re- quest from the Director, Natural Re- sources Intelligence' Service, Depart- ment of epart-ment'of the Interior, Ottawa, or from The Dominion Fuel Board, also of Ottawa. ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL Police have placed Joseph Wilson, of Harriston, under arrest and are carrying on an investigation in con- nection with an alleged attempt to blackmail Reeve Edward Forrester, of ,Kincardine. Coming at election time, the incident has created wide- spreaed interest in Kincardine and district. Wilson is out on $1,000 bail on a charge of attempted'blaclanail. Reeve Forrester received a ` letter threatening to expose'sonre'of his ac tions if he failed to place $50 in an envelope and leave it on the doorway of Young's barber shop at a time de- signated in the missive. • Immediately; on receiving the threatening letter the reeve notified the police and thecase was put in the hands of Constable Fritter. Following out instructions,' the let- ter was left at the place designated, while police authorities looked on from a concealed hiding place. As the police waited, according to infor- mation, the youth came along and paused in the ;doorway of the barber shop, glanced around and then con- tinued on his way. In a few mom- ents, it is said, he returned and pick- ed up the letter. He was recognized by the police of- ficers, who immediately gave, chase and apprehended him some distance away from the barber shop. Since that time the authorities Fave guard- ed their investigations with secrecy. Officers state that a police court hearing in connection with the case has•been set for January 17. AMPUTATE TWO FINGERS AFTER HAND IS CRUSHED Fred Culbert, of Dungannon, on. December 29th, was the victim of a nasty accident when he had the two centre fingers of his right hand crush- ed in the gears of a cutting box, which was being used on his own farm for threshing beans. It was found necessary to amputate the fin- gers at the second joint. The acci- dent occured while he was endeavor- ing to move the machine, which had shifted slightly from its proper posi- tion. The cutting box was dirven by a gasoline engine. .
