BEAFnSTg: SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, ,1919 : McLean Bros., Publishers $1.50 a Year in Advance CHAMPION STEER IS SOLD FOR $967. Live stock values.; generally soared to unprecedented high levels at Fri- day s sale of prize -winners at the To- ronto -Fat Stock Show, but for the peace of mind of the consumer it might be ad led that such record prices as 75 cents per pound for beef, cents for hogs and 34 cents 'a -pound for lambs on the hoof were only paid by way 'of fostering the objects of Toronto's annual fat , stock show and sale, which is to encourage the: rais- ing of the best grades of marketable stock. Friday'; which was the tenth sale of 't 1 3n�i 1 ' k attho . Uuion Stock Yards, was the •best in the history of the show. Buyers were present from all over Canada and from the United States, and bidding right through throu h the sale ofb to prize winners: and the un- successful entries was always active. Naturally "Black Hector," grand champioil of the show, brought the biggest price of - the day. Competi- tion for its ownership was keen, and it ' was eventually knocked down .to H. P. Kennedy at, 75 cents per pound. 'As the steer turned the scale at 1,290 pounds, it netted W. G. Whitelaw, of Elora, its breeder, $967.50; in addi- tion to prize money. H. - P. Kennedy, who is the live wire at the Union - Stock Yards, will include "Black Hector" in a shipment of cattle to France early . in January. On. the other side it will be exhibited at. dif- ferent European -centres: as this year's grand champion steer of Canada, and 'a sample of the meatwh ich can be raised in the Dominion.. The, steer will be placed at the disposal of Mr. Kennedy's agent in London, • Eng- land, who will show the steer where- -ever he thinks best. - Eventually "Black Hector" will be sold, and the proceeds given to whatever charity the man in London thinks the. money will help . most. The Live Stock Commissioner ' of Canada,who w o was made acquainted with Mr. Kennedy's object immediately after the pur- chase, .will co-operate in the venture which is Mr. Kennedy's, effort to help stabilize the present rate of ex- changeby increasing exports from Canada: W G. Whitelaw; the breed- er of "Black Hector," never dreamt of the honor which was .in- store for his steer. He is a farther in a com- paratively small way at Elora, and Black Hector" was the 'first animal he ever exhibited at 'any show. This year -the honbr of "staging" the win- ner belonged to Messrs.. Corbett, hall and . Coughlin, who handled num. erous othersuccessful entries, Last year's winner "Shorty" soldfor 60 cents. per pound, anel: brought the , aggregate d $918,while "Black George," the winner in 1917, sold for $1.00 per pound or -$1,360, but it was When dire effects of the Hali- fax disaster was troubling most folks, and the money went to that fund. In 1916 the grand champion sold. for 50 cents, in 1915 at 45 cents, and in 1.914 at 25 cents per pound, which was then regi ided as the high limit.. - "Roan .Jasper," this year's grand champion - at Guelph,. was sold to Harris Abattoir at forty cents per pound. It weighed 1,110 . pounds and brought a total of $444 to its breeder and exhibitor, J. M. Gard- house, of Weston. The next best price paid Friday for a steer was 35 cents per pound, which Geo. A. Guthrie and Son, of New Dundee, secured for their first ticket grade entry. Nine pure-bred `'single steer entries averaged 26V cents per pound, arid twelve , entries in the class for grade or cross -bred steers, 27% cents. The highest- price single heifer was the entry by D. S.''Fer- guson and Sons, of Galt, for which first prize winner and champion Swift. Canadian paid 36 cents per pound, or $396. Nine single heifers sold from 16 to 30 cents .and aver-. aged 23' cents per pound: Twenty- one lots of three steers averaged 23% cents, and six lots of three heif- ers, 21% cents. The grand cham- pion of three steers sent in by T. A. Russell, of Downsview, cashed in at 26 cents,. and having a gross weight of 3,760 pounds, brought .$954. For the. first prize .three -grade steers, Short Bros. secured 31 cents per pound, or $796, while Geo. A.

Dear Expositor, -In your issue of 5th in'st, in local briefs I noticed an item about weather and fat! of snow, and Mr.Henderson's statement of fifty years ago, that snow fell on ;13th of October and. remained until April, which probably was a record for On- tario, but Manitoba can beat it for a start. On the 9th of October we had a heavy fall of snow and at present date we 'aye easured off two Months of winter, both Oetobe`r and Noveiiber`' breaking the record for depth of snow, severity of cold and general winter conditions. In November the the ther- mometer went as low as 30 below, To. have winter Tarrive six weeks early in an agricultural province 'like ours means a great deal. Just , in one in- stance our Department of Agriculture estimates that one million bushels of potatoes were frozen in the ground and of course a total loss, to say noth- ing of the loss of preparing -hundreds of thousands of acres more for spring crop, and in. some isolated cases the threshing was not finished, but I must say the western, agriculturist is e: a good sport. He does not• whine and throw up his hands and holler kamerad, but stays right in the ring, ever ready to do battle, and probably a year from now the early winter will only be as memory, provided we are sheltered from the greatest storm in history that is predicted, the week centering on 17th inst., and'caused by present mixup of planets. It must have reached out early for that was a wonderful storm you had and Uncle Sam 'not to be outdone, has been hav- ing firery metors thrown into Lake Michigan, in sight of Chicago, and a nag has added it is only bringing the brimstone lake handy to Chicago, as there will be an immense patronage from the Windy City. During the month of September, we had an outing in the fine province of Saskatchewan, and I made a note Or two by the way, which I will give, and one of the most amusing_ was the meeting of a typical Uncle Sam, from Montana, who was touring Saskatche- wan in his car. As we were bowling. along in our car to the west of the Moose Mountains, on that splendid stretch of land lying between the mountains '• and Regina, which has in twelve years been transformed from the virgin prairie, into a splendid farming district, with' good roads fine barns and farm houses, many of which are electrically lighted and fine fenced farms as well, it was in those surroundings that we saw a car ap- proaching us and we care nearly op- posite,. we were signalled to stop, 'which we did. The occupant of the other car got out and came around to our car, and we saw a figure ex- actly like the Uncle Sam of interna- tional cartoon fame, tall and lanky, chin whisker, nasal drawl and all the rest of it. He addressed us thus' "Wa'al stranger, I reckon you are a Canuck." I pleaded guilty, "Wa'al," he said, "I want to shake four band, for you fellows over there during that little unpleasantness, in Europe, show- ed all the world,,and LTnele Sam, too, that you could knock the stuffing out of thenit 'ere Prussian fellows with a goosed' step, and if all of them 'ere accounts are true, you Carmelo made 'em get a gait on like an ostrich on a California farm where it sort of feels the psngs o bongos• During all this spoil, - he stiflTbeld my hand, and I was blushing all t Clado during the oration, and as a parting allot he said, 41 am proud to shake the hand of a Canuck, and 1 juat run over .here to -day to see what -kind of a country you had, that grew such boys. ' Wa'al, good- " bye, stranger, , I must hit the trail and get back into monta`sa :by time floe sun slinks in the west." The Inn atilt rss fen a .host time -after his dramatic adieu to us the women of our party were speech- less, but of course that was only a temporary trouble which righted it- self, and we resumed our journey through th i i ine stretch which I vis- ited fourteen years ago when not a house wa . •to be seen in a westerly direction as far as the eye could see. Now it ie of the finest built up dis- tricts in that great agricultural prov- ince, which has for it premier, an. Exeter boy, son of the Rev, Martin, now of Loreor, . I now feel linked up more than ever with the progress of that province as our fancily are all in that province. Just a word on other matters. Premier D-mry is setting a good ex- ample by chopping of three thousand of his salary, when the cry is every- where, more money to meet high cost of living. Probably Mr. Drury has no figured to a nicety just how much it costs to give one of those high falutin parties to the four hundred, when eggs have taken into themselves -wings and are soaring areoplanelike in the clouds. Probably Ernest will regret using the axe on himself as a starter. -W. Barber, Killarney, Manitoba. , TUBER DISEASES OF POTATOES When digging potatoes, a number of, diseases inay be observed on the • tubers; for example, spots of corky tissue on the skin, called common scab; or black surface spots which look like pieces of soil, but remain sticking to the tuber when it is wash- ed, this is the so-called Black Scurf or Rhizoctonia. Again, there may be snots somewhat brownpo ome at slivery, es- pecially when moistened, the Silver. Scurf disease. These diseases do not affect the edible qualities of the pota- toes; toes; o 1. , n whon they arebadly in- fected is a loss incurred, due to a deterioration in the saleable value. Later, however, after the potatoes have been in storage for some months, more or less rotting of the tubers takes place, which in bad cases eney result in thirty or forty per cent, of the tubers becoming valueless, This rotting may be observed. externally through its causing irregular sunken areas to appear, which are brown under the surface of the skin. : This rot is dile to Late Blight; this being a disease which` first makes site ap- pearance on. the leaves as dead, Water - soaked areas, occasionally killing the whole plant as well as infecting the tubers. Thus it is most important to spray your plants regularly dur- ing the growing season, particularly. in warm -and damp weather. Again, one niay also find a dry rot with white pustules breaking through the surface; in this case the cause is a Fusarium Dry sRot-, which' = is nearly Aleve as- sociated with a crack ,or bruise on the tuber. Other creases may he - noticed When the potatoes are cut or peeled; for instance, a black discoloration ex- tending from the skin inwards which ie ° sometimes wet rotted. This is Black Leg, a disease which also at- tacks the growing plant, causing an unthrifty condition which often re'- sults in the plant turning yellow, fall- ing over and dying. It- cannot be controlled by spraying, but is easily held in check by planting sound pot- atoes, for the disease is -transmitted to the plant by the tuber. • To control these diseases it is nec- essary to -adopt a careful routine for the selection and treatment of the seed tuber at planting time, and to provide the best possible conditions of. a storage. These two points are briefly outlined as follows: Seed Treatment: -Do not use seed from a field known to have been bad- ly attacked -by some disease. Discard all cut, broken or bruised tubers. Beforeting, tting, soak them in either: (a) . Corrc ive sublimate solution, - 2 ounces in, twenty-five gallons of water -for four hours, N.B. Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison. (10 Formalin solution -one pint in thirty gallons of water -for two hours. When cutting tubers, keep a jar of formalin at hand with a spare knife in it and, when a tuber is cut which shows any discoloration, discard it, drop the knife into thejar, and use the other one for the next tuber. Storage Conditions: -See that the potatoes are thoroughly ripened, and exercise the greatest care to avoid any injury -to the tuber. Direct sunlight should be 3excluded. It . is of the utmost importance to spray regularly during the growing season, since more particularly in the case of Late Blight, mentioned above, there is a direct relationship between the diseased plant and the later rot- ting of the potato in storage. In this article, however,i we have aimed at emphasizing (1) ,the planting : of healthy tubers, disinfected so as to kill externally adhering diseases and (2) the providing of conditions in storage whichwill reduce the losses from rotting to a minimum The Clinton News Record of last week says; The strike bug struck the Model school last week and the pupils of one of the junior .rooms decided that they had submitted to the harshrule of teachers too long and the time was ripe for a bold bid for freedom from the dnldgery of homework. Accordingly one of the "boldest" drew up a document de- reantling that no more homework was to be assigned, got a, great number of signatures and delivered it to the teacher. School teachers- have been known in all ages, ever since schools were invented, as callous, linty -heart. ed individuals, and the result of this remove on the part of the pupils for study -free evenings when they could go to the movies or enjoy thenuielves in some other equally edifying jnanner, was that those who sigma The no.. homework petition were given e double porton of homework for a week while those who did net so (.were free from homework for s week. i Thus was this strike que1l.d ted- the ' freedom" sprout °nipped it the b 'v
