Will the consumer pay for quality? Yes, and liberally if he understands what standardization means. Criti- cism la frequently directed at the farmer producer for the lack of attention given to grading and pack- ing of the product of his farm. Fruits in different stages of ripeness, differ- ent sizes, shapes and colors are fre- quen.ly seen in the same package. Chickens 'of various breeds, sizes, types and degree of plumpness are Jumbled together In the same crate and form a marked contrast when pi ed beside a crate containing birds of the same sex, size, plumpness and color. To the well ordered mind uni- formity always appeals, while ruts - tures and jumbles repel as so much juuk. If a child, goes into a candy store it will soon learn that mix- tures are sold at a lower figure than standard confections. Aud so it goes through lire — a mental attitude is developed by the great majority of consumers to regard those products that are not standardized as being less attractive and having a lower value. The percentage of particular consumers has increased much fast - ter than the percentage of agricul- tura! producers who standardise their products. In the old days the wormy apple, the misshapen potato and the old hen may not have lost their attractiveness, but times have changed, more people have more money to spend on foods than ever before. With the increase of the family income or wealth during the poet twenty years the attitude of the younger generation towards the foods that they eat has changed very considerably. If we refer to the good old days when oatmeal was the standard breakfast food and citrus fruits - were only seen at Christmas time, we will realize what present day attitude toward quality in food- stuffs means when compared with the past. With this advance in tastes for foods which may be largely flavor and of llttlb value when considered from the standpoint of nourishment, the demands for foods that appeal to the eye and to the sense or taste have increased very greatly during the past five years.

Standardization of food products will put the rosy cheeked, clean, uni- form, sound apples in one basket and it will put the wormy, scaboy, mis- shapen product in another. People are willing to pay for quality pro- viding they have a- guarantee that they will be banded a quality pro- duct in exchange for their money. How many householders have had the all too frequent experience 'of putting one-third of their purchase in the garbage can? Inferior materials should be directed into channels where they would be used to the best advantage instead of being a mill- stone or dead weight in occupying space, increasing carrying costs in transportation and reducing one at- tractiveness of the superior portion of the commodity. In seasons of food shortage mixed and lower grades of food products will usually sell and show a margin of profit, but when food products are abundant the more attractive grades sell most readily and create a *ant for more high-class produce, watch demand frequently must be filled from the ,lower grade. This substi- tution of a low grade for a high or standard product kills the incentive to buy. Stung once, the particular purchaser consumer will hesitate to _ buy... They look, but do not buy. - C.

Before she settled down seriously make use of the corn stalks as roughage, silos are becoming more a feature of the rural landscape every year; the cattle feeders who supply the most exacting markets finding it to their advantage to set aside a portion of their land that is capable of producing fine crops of husking corn for the growing of corn intended for use as ensilage only. In the greater portion of the corn growing areas of Ontario husk- ing corn cannot be produced eco- nomically as. to compete with pur- chaseable concentrates for the fin- ishing .of fat cattle. Under such conditions, awning years should see a steady growth in the use of silage in the feeding of cattle for the block. Reports of conditions of demand in Great Britain, where it appears that we must look for our best mar- ket for fat cattle for some years to come, indicate a change in the appetite of Britishers so far as beef is, concerned. Cattle weighing 1,500 pounds or thereabout, though spe- cially selected by our exporters When trade with Great Britain was resumed this spring, proved too heavy when they arrived on the Glasgow market, and subsequent in- vestigation by a representative of the Dominion Live Stock Branch disclosed the fact that lighter cat- tle, with a greater proportion of lean meat, the last named condition being emphasized, are the most sought after by the British buyer. This means, for the Canadian pro- ducer, that he must give more par- ticular attention to the encourage- ment of rapid growth in his cattle from birth to the time of shipping, and that this rapid growth may well be secured at a cheaper rate than is necessary in the case of produc- ing baby beeves. which must excel in fat for the whole period of their existence. As the main feature of the ration for keeping the intended export steer growing rapidly through - opt the winter months, no feed sug- gests itself as better suited than does ensilage. Naturally, grain or more concentrated feeds cannot be left out. But, with ensilage filling the place occupied by roots in the old days, and at a much cheaper rate, a great saving of grain and concentrates can be effected in feeding- steers that are required to appear at market show- ing fair weight and a big proportion of..lean weight, as compared with either baby beeves or prime fat cattle of real heavy weight:..

'One of the most discussed features of the case wail' the duke's own cul- tivation of the central figure: There was an actual oddity about it. He , drove from Stone Hover "to Temple Barholm repeatedly. He invited Tem- barom to the castle and had long talks with him -along, comfortable talks in secluded, delightful rooms or under great trees on a lawn. He wanted to hear anecdotes of his past, to draw him on to giving his points of view. When he spoke of him to his daughters, he called him "T. Tem- barom," but the slight derision of 'Ids earlier tone modified itself. "That delighdful young man will shortly become my closest intimate," he said. "He not only keeps up my spirits, but be opens up vista's. Vistas after a man's seventy-second' birth- day! At times I could clasp him to my breast." (Continued next week.) who voice it are not amenable to very acute reasoning and until such time as it would be possible to show them an. audited profit and loss state- ment for Canada's, good roads they would remain unconvinced. To show such a statement is at this time a more difficult task than to build roads so as to satisfy the requirements of all. The man who is enabled to drive to town fifty to a .hundred miles away, conduet his business there and return to his home without waste of time knows that he has derived an actual benefit from his automobile. He does not often take into consideration the fact that, too, he has derived an actual benefit from the roads he travelled over. We have always had roads, of a sort, but the adtvent of the `automobile is an event to be recalled by our youngest business men. Even if the men who makes such good business use of his automobile dbes realize that good roads are a concomitant essential to the full benefit derived from that automobile, how will he estimate what portion of credit goes to the good roads. The proportion, undoubtedly, is large, but how large may well pro- vide subject for discussion. It has been necessary, consequently, to sup- port good roads movements by point- ing to more obvious benefits derived from them, and where such benefits. are capable of estimation in terms of money the strongest appeal is made to the greatest number of people. It was doubtless with this in mind that A. W. Campbell, Dominion Com- missioner of Highways, whose chief function it is;to,co-ordinate the road systems of the nine provinces and to see.that th"e federal appropriation for good roads is spent so that the most will be derived from it, recently con- ducted an investigation with a view to arriving at some idea of how good roads attract tourists to a country. The chief object of the Canada High- way Act of July, 1919, was to encourr age iproduction and to stimulate trade, but tangible results are not very easily detected. Accordingly, Mr. Campbell turned to the touriet ques- tion and secured reports upon . the comparative unmber of tourists enter- ing Canada from the United States in 1919 and in 1920. It may be ar- gued that the increases in many in- stances are altogether out of propor- tion to the amount of road construc- tion done; but it should be re -Memb- ered that it is only in the last twelve months or so that people -of the re- public have realized that their north- ern neighbor offers a real system of highways for their delectation and interest. Mr. Campbell state's the re- sult of his investigation in tihe Sep- tember issue of the Ontario Motor League's official organ, Canadian Motorist. First he gives a compari- son of the number of entries for 1916 and 1920 at -sixty two outports: In all 60,305 touring American mot- orists and parties were entered in 1919; while 93,461 entered in 1920. This constitutes an increase of 53 per cent. The greatest increases approxi- mabing 100 per cent. were noticed in Manitoba and Quebec, both of which Provinces completed or improved im- portant international routes., .Mr. Campbell estimates an 'average of four persons to each ear that entered the 'eeuntry, and figuring -the expen- diture of such pettsons at $150 month- ly, arrives at the belief that Canada's good roads meant an income of 857,- 168,000 to 'the' country. last season. CHILDREN'S WORK FEATURE OF FAIRS .A striking feature of the fall fairs and larger agriculter+al shows this year has been the excellence of the exhibits made by children. An in- stance was the splendid Blass of calves that appeared at the Western Fair, London, where the winning animal in the boys and girls calf feeding competition took the honor • away from the champion steer of the Canadian National show. Noth- ing more encouragbng• to those who have the future sof- agriculture in Canada at heart can be .found than this proof that the youngsters on the farms are showing a proper in- terest in the Idn& of work that is theirs by righty of inheritance.

T. Tembarom (Continued from page 7) CHAPTER XXVI The neighborhood of Teeple Bar - holm was not, upon the whale, a bril- iant one. Indeed, it had been frank- ly designated by the casual guest as dull. The country was beautiful en- ough, and several rather large estates lay within reach of one another, but their owners were neither very rich nor especially notable personages. They were of extremely good old blood, and were of established re- spectability. None of them, however was given to entertaining house par- ties •made up of tihe smart and dazzl- ingly sinful world of fashion said by moralists to be composed entirely of young and mature beauties, male and female, capable of su}iplying at any moment enlivening detail for the di- vorce court—glittering beings whose wardrobes were astonishing and whose conversatjons were composed wholly of brilliant paradox and dark- ling repartee. Most of the residents took their sober .season in London, the men of the family returning gladly to their pheasants, the women not regretfully to their gardens and tennis, because their successes in town had not been particularly delirious. The guests who came to them were generally as respectable and law-abiding as them- selves, and introduced no iconoclastic diversions. For the greater portion of the year, in fact, diners out were of the neighborhood and met the neighborhood, and were reduced to discussing neighborhood topics, which was not, on the whole, a fevered joy. The Duke of Stone was, perhaps, the one man who might have furnished topics. Privately it was believed, and in part known, that be at least had had a brilliant, if not wholly un - reprehensible, past. He might have introduced enlivening elements from London, even from Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Rome; but the sobering influence of years of rheumatic gout and a not entirely sufficing intome prevented activities, and his opinions of his social surrounding were vag- uely guessed to be those of a not too lenient critic. "I do not know •anything•technical or scientific about ditch -water," Inc had expressed himself in the bosom of hie family. "I never analyzed it, but analyzers, I gather, consider it dull. If anything could be duller than ditch water, I should say it was Stone Hover and its surrounding neighborhood." He bad also remark- ed at another time: "If our society could be enriched by some of the characters who form the 'house par- ties and seem, in fact, integral parts of all country society in modern pro- blem or even unproblem novels, bow happy one might be, or extremely low, rank, of immense beautg and corruscating brilliancy; 'a lovely rea- ture, male or female, whom she is bent upon undoing—" "Dear papa!" protested Lady Celia.
