Recent League of Nations troubles have brought the question to the fore and a statement by Agnes Mac- phair, M.P., has started a bit of dis- cussion. Miss Macphail is quoted as saying: "I'm North America conscious. Why should you, why should I, why should North America take Europe seriously? What does Europe really mean to this continent, to Australia, to South America, to Africa?" But the thing is not so simple as that for while Europe is still, as an American cabinet minister remark- ed during the war, "Three thousand miles away," it is more closely than ever tied up with us. Miss .Macphail's statement was made at a U. F. 0. convention in Toronto and that seems a peculiar place, for after all Canadian farm- ers have a very definite interest in what goes on in Europe. Quite aside from any political or cultural debt the country may owe to Europe or any hereditary senti- mental interest it may have, that continent provides Canada with its main market for wheat, for bacon, for canned milk, for fruits, •for cop- per, for zinc and so on. The farmer and the rest of the people of Canada thus have a very One never knows where fire will definite reason to worry over what strike.

You can do your part in minimizing this terrific drain upon our human and physical resources by observing the following nine rules for Fire Pre- vention: (1) Keep matches in a closed metal container, inaccessible to children. Handle them carefully and dispose of them properly, making certain they are extinguished before you let them leave your hand. (2) Always disconnect electric irons, toasters, heaters and similar appliances from the sockets when through using them. Never. use any substitutes for approved fuses. (3) Inspect, clean and repair your chimneys and flues before Winter ar- rives. (4) Place hot ashes in ,metal cans and dump them in places free from combustible material. (5) Promptly collect and remove all refuse and rubbish. (6).,Do not start fires in stoves with benzine, gasoline or kerosene. (7) If gasoline or benzine Is ever used for cleaning purposes, do the work out or doors. (8) Learn the location of the near- est fire alarm and be sure you know how to turn in an alarm. (9) Inspect your property fre- quently, years mixed grain has sold as low as 50 cents per 100 pounds at the elevators, Had this grain been fed to chickens of good type, and the chickens sold at even 10 cents per pound, 100 pounds of grain instead of bringing the farmer 50 cents at the elevator would have brought his 791) ; Netherlands, $819,272 ($595 - over $2.00 per cwt. through the fat ,977); Norway $772,488 ($652,660) chicken route.

The lack of quality in much of Canada's dressed poultry is one reason why Canadians are comparatively small eaters of poultry, the per capita consumption being about 10 pounds as against 18 pounds in the United States, When produc- ers are convinced that selling thin birds is false economy then better market conditions will prevail. Prevent Fires How To Reduce The est Poultry In a recent radio talk prepared by the Dominion Poultry Husbandman it Prisoner -Judge, I don't know was pointed out that both the pro - what to do. ducer and the consumer should real - Judge -Why, how's that? ire it is poor business to sell or buy poultry which is thin in flesh. To sell a bird not properly finished does not pay the producer, for he misses his best opportunity to make a profit. It is false economy for the consumer to buy such a bird even though the price per pound may be. lower, for he gets too little flesh and too much waste. There are two main .Inferences in the eating of the thin bird and the flesh bird: One is the increased pro- portion of edible meat on the fat bird compared with the thin bird and the other is the better quality of that flesh. An ordinary thin or range bird at 10 cents a pound is dearer than a well -fleshed bird at 15 cents per pound, because the difference in weight that the fleshed bird has is made up almost entirely of flesh, the waste, such as bones, read and feet, being practically the same whether thin or fleshed. There is also a not- able difference in the quality of the flesh. The flesh on the thin bird is tough and dry, and what little oil or "-' juice there niay be, has a tendency to dry out 111 cooking. The producer is evidently rather too willing to market his poultry without finish, and the consumer too often has no choice in the matter, because there is not enough of the quality product to go around. The producer is working against his own best interests every time he markets an unfinished bird. It is this last pound or two put on in +he finishing Prisoner -I swore to tell the truth, but every time I try some lawyer objects.

Launching of a new canning industry in Alberta, aimed at taking over some of the market now held largely by Ontario and British Columbia canning companies, was announced recently by Acting Premier E. C. Manning. Headquarters of the new firm, to be known as National Food Pro- ducts Limited, will be at Brooks, Mr. Manning said, and it will operate branches through the eastern irriga- tion district. In this part of Alberta, it has been determined, farmers can raise vegetables of a quality comparing favorably with the best in other proyill9es . "The government," said Mr. Man- ning, "is ready to give all support to this new industry, We feel that it is in line with Social Credit prin- ciples; the development of hone in- dustries."

The prairie crop ac- counted for $15$,000,000 of the to- tal, $5,500,000 less than in 1934, Winter wheat conditions in the Un- itde States were generally favorable, the report continued, adding that more moisture would be desirable in the southwest. The acreage seeded' for the 1936 crop is larger than last season. Harvesting has started in northern Argentina, but will be somewhat later than usual in the south, where useful rains have fall- en recently. Britain Plans To Reduce Fire Loss $50,000,000 Damage is Done Every Year; to Change Materials London. - A far-reaching scheme for cutting down damage done by fire -it amounts to approximately £10,000,000 ($50,000,000) a year ---is to be launched in this country. The plan has the backing of gov- ernment departments, municipal au- thorities, the Royal Institute of Bri- tish Architects, building and engin- eering experts, and the great tariff insurance companies. Sensational changes in building materials and methods of construc- tion, and sweeping revision of prem- ium rates for fire risks, are only two of the important outcomes expected from the scheme. A fire testing station -only one of its kind in the world -has just been completed at Boreham Wood, Elstree. It is on the work to be carried out here that the hopes of bringing down fire damage by millions of pounds a year are based.. The station has been set up by the Fire Officers' Committee -an organ- ization comprising all the tariff fire insurance companies. Its most remarkable feature is a building which contains three mobile furnaces, each capable of testing building specimens at temperatures ranging from 1,000 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, and for periods of ex- posure from half an hour to six hours, Special machinery working under pressure of up to 4,500 pounds to the square inch, has been provided for applying the necessary "load" to specimen walls and columns while they are being tested. The increasing financial toll exact- ed by fires and the development in recent years of new building mater- ials and methods of construction, spurred the fire officers' committee to search for a standard method of assessing the fire -resisting qualities of the various elements in the con- struction of a building floors, walls, columns, and so on. A specification for "fire resistance incombustibility, and non -inflamma- bility of building materials and structure" was eventually evolved by the British Standards Institution. It established five grades, accord- ing to the severity of the tests ap- plied. This specification is known as "No. 476." There will be two immediate re- sults of this advance in the fight against fire waste; local authorities and others interested in the building side of fire control will be urged to make use of specification "No. 476" in preparing their requirements, and those manufacturers who wish to do so will have their products tested and graded. "Revolutionary building changes are almost bound to cone," said an expert recently. "Local authorities wilI hardly be able to avoid stipulating for the. standards specified, and manufactur- ers who do not submit their products for test or whose products fail to reach the standard will be at an ob- vious disadvantage. Manitoulin's Famed Turkeys Manitoulin is celebrated for its his- toric interest, for its beautiful lake and farm scenery, but probably most of ail it has taken the lead as being the centre of the first exclusive tur- key show ever held in Canada. Farmers on the island have gone into the business of turkey -raising in an aggressive and commendable way, and the district is steadily gaining prestige in this respect. This devel- opinent'has not conte about all at once, however, but is the result of the application of energy and busi- ness -like methods. The island has been raising turkeys for more than 20 years, the excellence of the birds having been demonstrated in 1916 by carload shipments to the United Stat- es, where markets and consumers were much impressed with their quality. • As a result of the co-operation of the Dominion and Provincial Govern- ments, representatives of which made a study of the turkey -raising condi- tions on the island, an orderly sys- tem of marketing was established and the organization of the present Growing Deaf With Head Noises? Try This. If you are growing hard of hearing, and fear catarrhal deaf- ness, or if you have roaring, rumbl- ing, hissing 'noises in your ears, go to your druggist and get 1 oz. of Par - mint (double strength) and add to it 14 pint of hot water and a little sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day, This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises, Clog- ged nostrils should open, breathing become easy, and the mucous stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to take. Anyone who is threatened with catarrhal deafness or who has head noises should give this prescrip- tion a tribal. Manitoulin Co-operative Turkey Growers' Association was affected. Since that time practically all the birds have been marketed through this organization, dressed, box -pack- ed and graded according to Federal poultry standards. The results are indicative of what can be accomplished by co-ordinated effort. Turkeys grown on the island find their way to the tables of thou- sands of hones, hotels and restaur- ants, not only in Canada, but in the United States. The Manitoulin bird has acquired a reputation for quality and the farmers make such concert• ed efforts year by year to improve the standard that continued profit- able returns seem assured for those engaged in the industry.
