This is hardly a correct viewpoint because a child whose body is damaged or deficient in any way is a cripple . Th.e. child who • has a damaged heart is just, as. much. a.crip- 010 as is the child who has lost an .arra or a "leg. Crippled children shodld have the extra attention which they require on account, of their.handicap in orderto enake--hfc'• as' -nearly normal.. ,as:: pos- sible for then and to guide their edu- Cation so that they may become self- supporting adults. There is a gei)eral willingness that is altogether commendable, to -lighten the burden and to brighten the lives •of those children who are physically handicapped. In this age, despite all the criticisms which are being heaped -upon it, there exists, more: than in any'previots age, an appreciation•that' ,. 'fair every child has a tight to a ai •chance in the world. While it is true that the cripp:ld -child should be helped, the sighfpof such a child should not only be an inspiration to help hits, but should lead us to determination' to helpto prevent childnen from becoming crip- pled. Do the most that can be done for the crippled child, and he will still be handicapped in life's venture; afar better wouldit have been to have prevented, the disability entirely. To a large extent, crippling niay be prevented, Tuberculosis of the hones in children is one cause which can be largely controlled by using on- ly milk which is pasteurized, and thus made safe and rendered free from danger of its carrying tuberculosis to the child. Another means .is by pro- teeting the young child from woo- l( sure to any case of tuberculosis.. Infantile Paralysis (Poliomyelitis) is one of the common casses of crip- pling. The treatment with convales- 'cent serum before the paralysis devel- ops is, of course, the best preve#itive 4ereineasurc, as such treatment will .tts- dally prevent the paralysis and the subsequent crippled condition. If the paralysis does develop, then proper care will do a great deal to prevent serious crippling. ; If suchcases are Mot under proper care, the restilts will be much more ,serious than they wvofld be had prayer treatment been which cripples _. s the child can, in very many cases,be prevented by safe- guarding the child from such diseases as measles and scarlet fever which often leave permanent damage in their trail, by proper treament of con'- ditions such as St. Vitus' Dance and discharging ears, and by the cornec tion• of such. conditions as- diseased tonsils and teeth before they have a chance.. to do any damage to the vital'. Iorgans of the body. Questions concerning, Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be.,•answeisedepersonathy by letter. News and Information For the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture). Clean Seed Pays In stressing the ;: importance of us - in .gcodseedt Prof, W J.,5quirr:ell of ,A.G.4iii' a• ret:ent-address quoted results obtained from extensive ex- periments which showed invariably. an amazing increase in yield per acre from clean, plump, tested seed of a good variety over the other kind, In making purchases, the buyer is very strongly advised to demand tested;. seed. Much of the gamble can be eliminated from farming where the field is thoroughly cleaned of weeds 'and put into a fine state for sowing by cultivation and good seed used. Cod' Liver Oil For Poultry When hens are shut in during the long winter months an abundant sup- ply of vitamin' D is required to keep them producing' and healthy. It is the presence of this vitamin which assists assimilation of the minerals calcium and phosphorus in the pro- duction of eggs and egg -shells. As the value of cod liver oil for potiltry feeding depends entirely on its vita- min content, only reliably -tested brands should be used. Crude cod liver oil is suitable for poultry' and is not expensive. In the dry mush one pint to each 100 pounds of mesh is a good ration, while with a w`vet mash or other feed, one or two tea- spoonfuls to each 12 birds, has ;been found adequate. Values in Hone -Grown Vegetables While Ontario vegetable growers liven, report large quantities of carrots and storage, inn iortations Thdamage to organs of the body ,cabbage Still in 1 WXN(`irlrAM ADVANCE -TI'S of these vegetables from, the south, continue to arrive in considerable volume at the large markets of the province, where they are reported as meeting with a goed'detnand in spite of their comparative high price, Mr, George Rush, I+ieidman for the On- tario Vegetable Growers' Association, stated in a recent meeting that a 'sur- vey of retail stones-siiowved that many Storekeepers gave preference in dis- play to the i.mpor•ted vegetables, and offered as an explanation for this that there was greater profit in handling imported carrots and cabbage. The Markets Brandi of the Ontario De- partment of Agricuiture has pointed out that the added 'revenue from the handling" of these imported goods 1 comes from the consumer's readiness 1 to pay a considerable premium for imagined values. Recent investiga- tions show that the Ontario carrots and cabbage that have been stored under proper conditions, have pound for pound, food values equal to those supplied by the imported vegetables. Ontario shoppers are being warned by the Department of Agriculture that in purchasing imported carrots and cabbage they are paying three times the amount of money needed to. obtainequal vegetable food values. Produce Men Approve Broadcasting A report of the annual meeting of the:Eastern Canada Fruit and Vege- table Jobbers' Association held re- cently; at St. John, N.B., includes the following: The effect of the radio advertising conducted by the Ontario. Department of Agriculture is reported by the trade to have had very satisfactory results in moving fruit' and vegetables this past fall, particularly during per- iods of heavy receipts, and an exten- sion of this program is being urged. Press advertising and the publication of timely and attractive bulletins and pamphlets by the Dominion and Pro- vincial Departments ,of Agriculture, dealing with the use of fruits and veg- etables is also urged. Successful Dairying "Factors essential to success in dairying' was the subject` discussed by M. C. McPhail, of.this Department before a recent convention of cheese- makers. His analysis of the situation resolved itself .into four divisions, as follows: (1) Diversification of farm enterprises: too many dairy .'farmers are so intensely interested in their cows that they forget to look around for money making sidelines that can be operated without any great addit- ional outlay. (2) High yielding crops are important. All feeds must be grown on somebody's farm and .on. most farms they- can be produced more cheaply than they can be pur- chased. (3) Efficiency of live stock. The efficiency of the individual ani- mals to utilize feed is • a big factor in determining profit. (4) Operating costs. Keeping expenses at the lowest point consistent with efficiency. Agriculture Prominent Plans ` for improving agriculture throughout the Province occupied a prominent place in the speech from .the Throne at the Ontario Legislat- ure- • opening, east week. Legislation was forecast to implementmany of. the recommendations, including crea- tion of a Provincial Marketing Board, which appear in the Somerset inquiry report. Notice of plans for • the im- provement of herds in regard to milk. production was given. There was the suggestion of early introduction of remedies to protect livestock against. the ravages of parasites, and finally, the: intimation:,that Hop. T. L. � :fKen' - ned , vinister ofAgriculture, • 1. evil sponsor this coming summer an ex- haustive inspection of Ontario's agri- cultural pursuits by all the institut- ional heads within his jurisdiction. Special attention will: be paid to farm- ing possibilities in Northern Ontario and a scheme devised to utilize the M many homesteads which have stood idle fore several years in good farm country of the North. exhibits was exceptionally fine, even if not quite on a par with that of dis- plays before the coni borer did its work, Other classes, including cereal grains, small seeds, tobacco and :po- tatoes, had marry entries and compe- tition was keen. The 1910 Dorn crop in Southwestern Ontario was the lar- gest and best since the borer's in- vasion and affords concrete evidence that the havoc wrought by the borer has been materially reduced in the last two or three years. Recommendations Made For Fruit and Vegetable Industry Establishment of a fruit and ve ge- tablet growers market council for.the province and very drastic changes in general markleting conditions are recommended in the report of Com- missioner W. B. Somerset to Hon, T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, following, extensive inquiry into mar- keting problems of the fruit and veg- etable industries, It is suggested that a, permanent paid secretary, with a lo- cal secretary :for each district and an executive 'committee, with power to appoint committees to study and deal wth problems, Registration of all commercial fruit and vegetable grow- ers so that they must place their neg- istered number on all packages they market. Licensing and bonding of all shippers, truckers and commission men is recommended, as well as the establishment of sales promotion of- fices in 'Western Canada and in Que- bec and the Maritimes during the selling season, Other recommenda- tions ecommendations' are as follows; That surveys be made each season of crop conditions and the sales possibilities of the mar- kets; that Government assistance be given in establishing' central packing plants and cold storage or pre -cool- ing facilities; that by-product research be made into the commercial possib- ilities of the disposal of low grade fruits and vegetables; that steps be taken to prevent the marketing of immature fruit an vegetables; that the collective purchase of fertilizers and other supplies be fully canvass- ed; and that as a means of thyme- ing the quality of grade and pack for J all markets the .question of establish- ing an Ontario 'brand be considered. Day-to-day Report of Potato' Market In order to keep potato growers and shippers more closely in . touch with market conditions the fruit Branch of the Dominion Department of ,Agriculture has instituted a day-to- day radio market report service, Staff inspectors of the Department at Mon- treal, Ottawa and Toronto wire the salient features of theirlocalmarket to the Branch at Ottawa at 10.80 each morning. At Ottawa these reports are consolidated and telegraphed to Moncton, N,B,; where they art sent out through the courtesy .of radio sta- tion C,N.R.A. during the noon hour broadcast. Cereal Research Grows The report of the Dominion Cerea- i list, L. H. Newman; B.S.A.; for 1929, provides a graphic illustration of the steady increase in cereal research by the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. In gricul-ture.In 1916 the total of plots used in investigational work numbered 2,- 017. In 1921 this hacl dropped to on- ly 756. Since 1927, however, there has been a consistent steady expan- sion, in this important work, the total number of plots for 1930 being 15,950. This report, which is now available for distribution, contains a wealth of useful information for those interest- ed in cereal grains. Parasites of Sheep and Their Control The Dominion Department of Agri- culture and the Department of Agri- culture of Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are co-opera- ting in making available sheep raisers in Eastern Canada a booklet, "Corn - mon Animal Parasites Injurious to Sheep in Eastern Canada." The man- uscript, prepared by Dr. Lionel Stev- enson of the Ontario Department : of Agriculture, deals in a practical way: with a wide range of parasites, their appearance, and the symptoms which evereen hu but y has given with Salado 'Fresh front the .gardens' indicate their presence; and also pre- scribes effective treatment. A limited supply of the booklet is available for free distribution through the Publica- tions Branch of the • I:)orninion De- partment at Ottawa. Canadian Onions Canadian Onion Week, January 25, to 31, did a lot to increase the popu- larity of Canadian Onions, It also brought to light some interesting facts about this rapidly growing in- dustry. Per capita consumption ,of onions in Canada in 1930 was about 10 pounds. In other words, this means that a total of 100,000,000. pounds -50,000, tons or some 2,000 carloads -of onions were eaten by er," said one pupil. "Anthony's with Canadian people. This huge quantity Cleopatra." came principally from two sources. Canadian growers produced 29,976 tons, and something over 20,000 tons e wereere imported from the United Stat xra swiftly Get : es, Over $750,000 was spent by Can- adians on United States -grown on- ions Canadian production is increas- ing rapidly and is of exceptional qual- ity. ---Dept, of Agriculture, Ottawa.
