Since the war, however, the British have agreed to "reasonable payments" to amateurs and have entered the four' already -mentioned teams. * * * The groups in the four zones for the 195U competition work out like this: Just what sport enjoys the most widespread popularity throughout the world, we are not prepared to say offhand, and it is too much of an effort to dive into the dope and check up at the moment. Still, after looking over an account of the preparations being made for next year's World Cup soccer tourna- ment, we would say that "fitba" must be right up there with the contenders. * * There are no less than 55 coun- tries affiliated to the Federation International de Football Associa- tions, and of these—in spite of cold wars, hot revolutions and other upset conditions -32 are entering the tourney, and preparing to send send teams into the competition. * * * The Union of Soviets Socialist, Republics—Russia for short—will be the outstanding absentees, as England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are entered. Since 1946, the Russians have joined three international governing bodies of sport—soccer being one of these. But their failure to enter for the 'World Cup"'affair caused little sur- prise, as the finals will be staged in South America, and it seems that Mr. Stalin prefers to have his ath- letes perform closer to hone, where they would be assured of all the comforts of life. * * This will be the first time the World Cup has been competed for by more than 30 countries since it was first put up, back in 1930, by Jules Rinfret. The British had Group Group Israel. Group 3—Belgium, Switzerland. Luxembourg. (roup 4—Sweden, Finland, Eire. Group 5—Spain, Portugal. Group 6—England, Scotland, 'Wales, Northern Ireland. Zone B (:.roup 7—Argentina, Chile, Bo• livia. Group 8—Uruguay, Peru, Ecua- dor. Zone A 1—Austria, Turkey, Syria. 2—France, Yugoslavia, Zone C Group 9—U.S.A., Cuba, Mexico. Zone D 10— Burma, India, Philip • - (roup pines. * '1'his preliminary stage of the tournament must be completed by April 15, 1950. The victors, plus Italy, then proceed to Rio de Janeiro where the competition proper is scheduled from June 28 to July 16. Four of the 16 teams assembled at Rio will then be "seeded" and placed one in each section. The remaining 12 teams are ballotted into the four sections and each team plays against each other to find a section champion. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the staging of the tournament at Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilians have undertaken to sup- ply free air transport for all com- peting nations and to house and entertain thein. This will set the Brazilians back something like four hundred thousand dollars, but it will be .more than recovered from the attendance proceeds of 18 days' fanatic soccer. Most of the higher -priced tickets have already been sold, even long before' it is known which nations will arrive in Brazil. * •k The 1950 tournament is the sec• and time the World Cup finals have been played in South America, where, incidentally, the Olympic Games have yet to be held. The first time was for the inaugural series in 1930 when Uruguay was the host nation and also the win- ner. In 1934, when the tournament tools place in Italy, the host nation was again successful. The third series was promoted by France 1938 and Italy retained the trophy. Should the trophy again be won by the Italians, they will keep it in perpetuity, because it goes outright t.> the country that wins three times irrespective of whether they are in siiccession or not. k * * Which should he enough about soccer for the present—except this: ,Just why Canada's name should not appear on the list we are not in a position to say. But we are sure of one thing, the reason cannot be fear of snaking a poor showing. No mat- ter flow weak a soccer teatn we sant, it couldn't do worse than our rlt+rr-r':t'atives its international term is, track and field, and several other pelts we might mention, yl)c i:'s just that the soccer 'banger:" aren't as fond of travel --at somebody else's expense, --as i':ose who hang around some of 'r r'her pastimes. "Yer Outi"—Umpire John Stevens signals a vigorous out as Yankee second baseman Jerry Coleman tries to make it two by firing to first base. Vern.Stephens of the Boston Red Sox is forced out at second base in the second inning of an import- ant Red Sox -Yank game at Yankee Stadium. The runner was forced on a grounder by Bobby Doerr, who beat the. throw to first. "So you're thinking about re, modelling your hen house. Well, you're probably hoping to do one of two things, either keep up with tlhe Joneses in appearance, or com- pete with them in earning power." :F * * That's the rather striking first paragraph of an article I ran across in a farm paper published out in Iowa, and having borrowed that much from Howard Bayles, a col- lege poultry specialist, I think I'll pass along to you some of his ideas on vhesubject. sub' ect. ( The article, by the way. is headed "Cold Hens Don't Lay — And Neither Do Crowded Birds). * * * Appearances — such as a paint job or new roof line — can wait. But a better house to boost the earning power of your flock cannot wait — unless you like to give money away. * * Many laying houses are as old and outmoded as a Model T car. They don't protect the flock from heat in summer, or cold in winter. * * * Such houses are wet and un- sanitary — perfect for diseases and parasites. Some are too small to house flocks in comfort. k * * They are responsible for more low production than almost any other one tiling. But many of them can be fixed up to do a better job. * * * Suppose your house is too small. Enlarging it by making it wider may be the cheapest and best way to get more room. Wide houses are better, anyway. k * * It's, easy to widen a shed -roof house. But gable -room (two way) buildings can be widened, too—if they're tall enough. You can safely go as wide as 30 feet if the house is to he insulated. * * * Another common fault with old houses is the lack of temperature control. The best layers will slump if house temperatures drop 'way down in cold weather. Insulation is the only answer. * * * Sorry to say, many jobs of in• sulation are not well done. For in- stance, it's a waste of time to build a double wall with just a ]'dyer of paper between. * * * Three times as valuable is a board wall on the outside of the studs, another on the inside. Then snake use of the space between by putting in a dry fill of ground cobs, chopped straw or other insulating material. * * * But fill insulation calls for tight walls. And board walls seldom are tight enough. * * * So, it's absolutely essential to line the inside of the outer wall with Mind -proof paper—red radia or building paper is best. * * * You can do it by snicking *trips of the paper between the stalls and tacking it temporarily to the outer wall. The fill later will hold it in place. * * * The inside wall l auat be vapo4'- proo1, too. Again, as board wall ISSUE 40 : i040 alone won't be tight enough' to keep vapor from dampening the fill and causing it to decay. * * * So, before nailing on the inner walls, tack a layer of vayor-proof paper against the studs. This, when covered with the board wall, will protect your insulation fill. DYEING Ni)ACLEANING HAVE YOU enythins needs dyeing or clean- ing? Write to ue for Information.

The voice of autumn has echoed across the valley. There is no mistaking it now, for although the green world is still green it has the gleans of dogwood berries turn- ed scarlet and the shine of golden- rod in the fence corners and the glow of little white asters on the meadow. There is the cider smell of windfall apples in the orchard and the wine tang in the vineyard. You can close your eyes and know thate the change is taking place. Ripeness is fulfillment, and it comes not at the peak of summer. It comes when the season begins to ease down the long hill toward win- ter and ice, when the days shorten and the stars of night begin to gleam in longer drakness. Ripeness is a summation, of long, hot days and simmering sun 'and warm rain and the flash of lightning across the summer sky. It is the beauty of blossom brought to the succulence of fruit, the soft green of new stens toughtened to the firm fiber of the reaching twig, the winged seed of a maple now rooted at the grass roots and finding sustenance in the soil. Ripeness is September, warm at mid-day, chill at dusk and covered with cool dampness at dawn. The change is more than a matter of sunlight and day -length, for there is a rhythm in all growing things, a rest and a resurgence. The seasons belong to that rhythm, as do the day and the night. But so does the apple, and so do the goldenrod and the asters. The peak is past. The wave of the great rhythm now be- gins to ebb, and the cricket sings, the owl hoots, the crows call quer- ulously. You can hear autumn from any hillside. FO(t SAL;GO FARM. 70 acres at Speneerviile, 46 miles south of Ottawa, good buildings, electricity, 89 Sherbrooke, Ottawa.

Each year, Canada, one of the world's greatest granaries, ships abroad millions of bushels of wheat and other life-sustaining grains. The peoples of many lands depend on Canada's rich harvest for their daily bread. i0 This advertisement is an adaptation of one of a series created by The House of Seagram to tell the peoples of other lands about Canada and her various products. For the past two years this campaign has been appearing in newspapers and magazines printed in many languages and circulated through- out the world. Our prosperity is based on our ability to sell our products to other countries. Every Canadian has a personal stake in foreign trade, for one out of every three dollars of Canada's national income results bora our trade abroad. The more dll% } ' K fiat that the peoples of other countries know of the quality, variety and prestige of our productsi the more likely they are to buy from. us. We feel that the horizon of industry does not terminate at the boundary line of its plants; it has a broader horizon,,afarther view—this view embraces the entire Dominion. That is why The House of Seagram believes that it is in the interest of every Canadianmany facturer tohelp the sale of all Canadian products in foreign markets. It is in this spirit that these advertisements are being published throughout the world. Bo• %i a�
