ASSOCIATE 5C.,1C.fEYf o THE HEART AND ARTERIES The heart is one ofthe vital organs of the body. By this we mean that when the heart ceases to do its work life cannot continue. The gradual wearing out of the heart and arteries is part of the prooess of "growing old. When the heart or arteries, or both show signs of disease or of wearing •o.ut in early life, we find an 'individual who is prematurely old." Normally, the arteries'are elastic. The loss of -elasticity is accompanied by thicken- ing and; hardening of the walls of the arteries,' and, as a result, there ;de- velops the condition known as' har•- •:4ening of the arteries. This change in the walls of the ar- teries may be due to a chronic pais- owning of the body. The absorption of the; poisons from diseased teeth, ton- -ells, head sinues or other parts sim- ply means that the various tissues of the body are being poisoned. The. heart and arteries show- the effects of such poisoning; not by ; the inci- dence of any particular disease but by a premature wearing out as a re- sult of the injury done to then` by the poisons. Overstrain will almost surely leave some permanent damage. It is not • only foolish but harmful to overstrain some organ of the body, and if the heart is called upon to do more . than it is capable of doing, it is injured thereby. To stop short of overstrain, never go on to exhaustion, is a matter of 'common-sense: Moderation in all things is sound advice to follow, This applies to play : as well as to work; to eating as well as to drinking. The heart and arteries are but part of the whole body. Disease of anoth- .'er part, or the faulty functoning of other organs throws a strain upon the heart and arteries. Keeping the whole body fit is the only way to maintain the fitness of its various parts. The whole body shows the effect of abuse of the digestive system thru improper eating and;drinking habits, or by overeating or undereating. The person who is overweight is throwing. :tn extra load on his heart. To prevent the heart and arteries from wearing out ,earlyin life itis necessary to keepthe body fit, and io live moderately, avoiding over- *triin. Rest is just as important. as exercise; both are needed to keep the -body healthy. Diseased teeth, gums, tonsils, head sinuses, or other ,foci of infection must` be-propetlyr treated to: prc-vent! the poisoning which • wears out the important parts 'of the body, early in i owrlag G pains childhoodand h fe. rin ' •chorea (St. Vitus' Dance) are , signs r#> rheumatic infection, and, ' should be s placed under treatment without delay. They are serious because if they are not properly treated, they often result in heart disease. To these preventive measures, add the periodic health examination, and many cases of heart disease will be prevented and fewer of us will grow old prematurely, .• Questions concerning ;Health, 'ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St,;' Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. News and Information For the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture), Where Profits Begin If your hens lay 81 eggs a year'or more you should be able to show a profit, A ten-year average of the cost of feeding laying hens show that the yearly expenditure is $2,43 per hen. With eggs selling at 35c a dozen it takes 6.95 dozen or 81 eggs to pay for the hen's keep. Eggs-. laid in ex- cess of that number are profit. Plently of Alfalfa Seed Sixty thousand bushels ; of home - brown alfalfa are available for distri- bution in Ontario this year, accord- ing to Professor W. J. Squirrel of 0, A.C.. He points out that the normal requirements are about 30,000 bush- els, but hopes that all this seed, barr- ing that intentionally held over will be used, because of its cheapness (about half the price of last' year), the shortage of home-grown red clo- ver, and the necessity for reseeding many meadows killed out by drought last summer.. Profit Factors Important 5. E. Whitelock, assistant director of agricultural representatives, was. the speaker at the banquet conclud- ing the short course in home econ- omics and agriculture at Shelbourne, in Dufferin County. In' a thought- provoking address, he asked the ques- tion:"Just how good farmers are eve? and went on to explain how the av- erage yield of 'barley was 45 bushels in Denmark and only 30- in Ontario. The average; Danish farmer, he point- ed out, secured 100 lbs. of gain 'in ' his hogs for 400 lbs. of feed; while in. Ontario it: usually required over 500 lbs. The conclusion was 'that every detail of the factors influencing pro- fits on the fem. must be heeded., Needs of Agriculture In'- addressing the London city - county dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, Hon.

The Minister quoted facts, fi- gures and statistics to show th•e need of progress along :all three lines. The Department •has done much in this direction and under the present re- gime it is prepared to do more. British Apple Market An unusually keen demand for bar- reled apples is forecast by Andrew Fulton, over•§eas representative of the Ontario. Fruit Growers' Association. The demand on the British market from now on, he says, should be for both well -colored dessert apples and for good quality cookers. From 41' accounts, barreled • supplies are some- what limited, he continues, recent re- ports showing that the storage hold- ings of barreled apples in Canada and the United 'States are about ten per cent. less than last year. This, along with the increased demand on the continental markets ' for barreled stock is bound to leave a limited sup- ply for the United Kingdom. An im- portant p point for packers to remem- ber, however, declares Mr. Fulton, is to have stencilled on the outside of the barrel the net weight of the con- tents. Strangely enough this seems to be an item. strongly desired by the Euorepan buyer- and , will facilitate sales when done to a marked degree. Soils and Crops Train' On February 10, at Oldcastle, in Essex County, the Department's spec- ial Soils and Crops train started out to carry the latest information to far- mers of Southwestern Ontario" Fifty- nine stops will be made during the tour, which will take the train thru Essex, Kent, Elgin, Larnbton, Nor- folk, Middlesex, Oxford, Brant and IIaidimand' Counties, with one stop in each of Perth and Wentworth. The. train consists of a -soils car, a crops car, a car for lecture purposes and a car for the staff, which. will consist of specialists on all the many phases of farming connected with specialty. crop production and treatment of. soils. Interesting' exhibits have been arranged .by, O ;A,C. Departments that graphically explain the best practises in crop production and soil manage- ment. In addition dailylectures are. being given by specialists on the staff. Although primarily for farmers, class - eti of school children will be invited to attend and escorts will show them through the train and explain the ex- hibits to thein. Last year in Eastern Ontario a similar train proved a tre- mendous success and carried valuable information to thousands,of farmers. A repitition of that success is expect- ed xpected in the case of this tour which will continue until Marsh 27th. Incident- ally the' Department is indebted to the railways for their co-operation in the transporting ok the four cars over the lines free of charge. Care in Selecting Hens • Hens should•be in,production three weeks before starting to save • the eggs for hatching. Often electric lights are'. used to start the birds lay- ing in February for .March hatching eggs. , If, not used to provide longer than a 12 -hour day, light will not 'in-. jure a bird's ability to produce hatch- able eggsthroughout the spring, In. the selection of hens be sure they! have vigor and nervous energy above all else. A hen that has a high egg record back of. her, but was herself physically wrecked in making that re- cord, is.worthless, as a breeder. Keep in inind.that the laying record, in this respect, tells of only her production and, not of her vigor, Dairy Cattle' „Rations Continuing frothlast week the dis- cussion of rations fordairy cattle, the following.. is. recommended' • where no ;nage or roots are available; Alfalfa ar clover hay; 1A• lbs. to 2 .lbs. to ev- ery 100 lbs. live weight.

Marshes Produce Wealth 1xtraotdiliatry success has attend- ed the plan of draining and reclaim- ing the 7-l;o1lantf marshes near, Ili -at!- , �nunr m o .r �iu�th ford under the supervision of W. H. Day, former professor at O. A. C. In 1930 a total of 37 acres in this area`. yielded a return of. $26,000, The hate vest inade a total of 50 carloads and. included parsnips, carrots, onions, celery and lettuce. The average yield per acre was $702, which. leads Mr.. Day to say; "Compare this with your high land crops. With wheat at '70c a bushel it would require a yield of 1000 bushels per acre to equal our average marsh returns. Individual pieces have done Much ' better than the average, One acre, of lettuce yielded $1400;, one-seventh acre of celery nearly' $500 and 6/ acmes of celery $10,412." Only a small por- tion of the marshes have yet been drained. They consist of low, very rich soil, only a ,few feet above the level of Lake .Siincoe. Mr. Day has proved that a considerable area can be drained and put under agricultural, production; Of still greater import itnce than the prolific yields is the length of the season, head lettuce from there coming on the market ev- ery day frorn mid-July to mid-Octo- ber. " 1S THE HYDRO BECOMING A DISTRIBUTING PLANT FOR PRIVATE OWNERSHIP? The Ontario Hydro Commission is apparently following the line of least resistance in its method of ensuring; against a shortage of power for the future. Incidentally, it also appears to be making the future 'safe for ev- ery new private power development that may have bonds to float or stock to sell.' Its latest achievement is to '. con- tract for 125.,000 horse power '.from, the McLaren -Quebec Power Com- pany. The announcement comes co- incident with an advertisement offer- ing to the public $12,000,000 of an is- sue of $18,000,000 first mortgage bond and further stating that:. Delivery of 125,000 E.H,P. to Hy- dro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario alone will provide net earnings estimated as more than sufficient to pay 1,5 times the in- terest requirements on the total au- thorized $18,000,000. Firts Mort- gage gaage Bonds, assuming a 51% inter- est rate on later issues. This follows on . the heels of other contracts with Beauharnois; the Abit- ibi, the Chats Falls and the Gatineau, and is quite in keeping- with the Fer- guson -Magrath policy of making the Hydro a distributing plant for private ownership developments. . It has been pointed out before that buying electric powerin almost un- lhnited quantities : weakens Ontario pressure for the development of the St. Lawrence development. And without Ontario pressure St. Law- rence developmentmay long •r einain in the realm of dreams. The Hydro Comission- may be wise in its policy.. It maybe doing its best for •'public ownership and indus- tr'ial Ontario. But can anyone imagine Sir Adam Beck sitting down and helping- build up a circle•of privately owned Quebec power ,companies which in the not distant future may be in the position to. take._the, Hydro by the throat, and leave of it nothing but a memory.
