Order Changes Weights of Basket
Vegetables.
An important modification in the
weights of vegetables sold in six
and eleven quart baskets has been
brought into effect throughout Can-
ada.
The (Root Vegetables Act pro-
vides for the sale of vegetables
other than those commonly known as
green vegetables, by the measured
bushel or part thereof providing the
measured bushel or part of a bushel
is of standard weight or the correct
proportionate equivalent.
It has been found in practice
that the weights prescribed by the
Act for six and eleven quart baskets
of potatoes, onions, beets, carrots,
turnips, parsnips and artichokes could
be secured only by heaping up the
basket with the vegetable concerned,
the weighs in the Act having been
figured on the basis of proportionate
volume.
The new weights for these con-
tainers now are:
6 -quart 11 -quart
basket basket
16s. lbs.
Potatoes 10 18
Onions, beets, carrots,
and turnips 9 16
Parsnips 7 1014
Artichokes 10 171/2
These weights are found to conform
more consistently with the true
weights of these vegetables when
packed in accordance with standard
practice in the basket containers
named.
Growers', Markets Council
Forms have been sent out to
fruit and vegetable growers in On-
tario requesting them to register
with the Ontario Growers' Markets
Council what acreage of various
crops they grow and intend to pro-
duce next season. Any grower who
does not receive a form is asked to
write for one to the Council's secre-
tary, Mr. C. W. Bauer, Hamilton. A
concerted effort is being made to pro-
vide next year against any repetition
of the disastrous marketing season
experienced by many growers this
year. 'Growers who were in touch
with the Council's activities this sea-
son fated better than those who were
not in touch with them or did not fol-
low their advice. The Council's activi-
ties were necessarily limited owing
to a late start and the difficulties of
organizing such a far-reaching move-
ment. Nevertheless quite wonderful
things were accomplished in increas-
ing shipments of Ontario produce to
the West and the Maritimes, and in
helping the grape growers and the
producers of many varieties of vege-
tables and fruits.
Ontario Soy Beans Won.
At the recent International Grain
and Hay Show held in Chicago, soy
beans exhibited by Ontario farm-
ers were awarded five of the six
highest .prizes. All these exhibits
were of the O.A.C. No. 211 variety,
which was developed by the Field
Husbandry Department, 0. A. C.,
where it gave excellent results when
tested alongside of other kinds. Tests
in connection with the Experimental
Union and demonstrations on a field
scale in many districts have shown
this ;v r'iety to be very suitable for
Ontario conditions. Tts adaptability
is well shown by the wide area in
which the Chicago exhibits were
grown. Prizes were won by J. K.
Kyle and Sons, Drnmho; J, H. Fris-
by, Gormley; J. H. Lampman and
Sons, Ridgetown; Campbell Bros.,

Keep Mangers Clean.
An inspection of the mangers of
stables when cows are not doing well
might go a, long way toward find-
ing out the cause of trouble. Sani-
tation in mangers and the drinking
supply is in many cases very poor.
When cows don't drink as much wa-
be scraped out of the manger. It has
a stench which makes the animal quit
eating long before it has had enough.
Drinking bowls and mangers should
be kept clean if the cattle are to
flourish.
Clean Nests, Clean Eggs.
It takes less time to place clean
straw in the nests than it takes to
clean eggs. Some eggs will become

ter as they should, or leave a certain
amount of meal in the bottom of the
mangers, the trouble may generally
be laid to the door of poor sanitation.
An inspection of mangers and drink-
ing cups would become fouled with
chaff and spoiled silage, and when
left for even a day the water is filthy.
It is reasonable that cows will not
drink freely of this water. Any-
where from a quarter of an inch of
hard accumulated filth can sometimes
,dirty in spite of the best of care, but
the egg cleaning work is greatly re-
duced if the nests are cleaned at egg
gathering time when dirt' is noticed
and a little clean straw is added once
or twice each week. This is a good
early morning job before the hens
start using the nests. 1f you have no
straw stack, keep a bale of straw in
each laying house so that a measure
of the loose straw can .be worked up
and added by handfuls to any nests

Santa Claus paid a brief prelimin-
ary visit to Seaforth on Monday last,
the guests of the Seaforth Lions, at
their annual 'Christmas tree festival.
Arriving on the 3.12 train from some-
where to the west, he quickly took
his place in the procession that was
awaiting him, marched from the sta-
tion to the brightly lit tree, which
had been placed between the Canadian
Bank of Commerce and the post of-
fice.
The parade, which was headed by
the Seaforth Highlanders Band, con
sisted of the Band, Santa! ii self,.
hundreds of children a' id''a'leinhers of
the Lions Club and of -1*ens 'in •cars'
and ons foot.
On arrival at the tree, Santa tonic
his rplaee on the platform provided`
and proceeded to distribute some fivet
hundred stockings to soma Aye,
dred children that were patxezgtl.V
waiting. This ceremony took neiiry
an hour.
A large number of interested spec-
tators from town and country ,were'
present to enjoy the festival, to listen
to the Band and to see Santa Claus.
They filled the space in front of the,
post office, which had been kept free
of cars. Traffic arrangements were
in charge of Messrs. Fee and Ryan.
In addition to the many stockings
distributed, the Lions Club .hassent
in the neighborhood of 150 baskets to,
needy families in town.
The committee in charge was head-
ed by Dr. F. J. Bechely, and consisted
of Dr. J. A. 'Munn and J. A. Stewart.,

Ontario CIover Seed Best at Great
Chicago Show.
Ontario farmers made a remark-
s able Showing with Red Clover at the
recent International Grain and Hay
Show held in Chicago. With sixteen
entries they captured fourteen prizes,
including 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th and
11th. Many of the fine samples were
grown in Prescott and Russell where
the farmers specialize in the produc-
tion of clover seed and where the lo-
cal agricultural representative and
Dominion Seed Branch have done
much to encourage the use of good
seed cleaning machinery.
Remi Lamarche, of 'Casselman, was
awarded first prize, while second went
to Ladislas Landry, of Crysler.
Raise Your Own Living.
Whether willing or not the major-
ity of farmers are now obliged to
supply more of their own needs. The
following list may provide sugges-
tions for further economy:
L Milk a few good cows; feed re-
commended rations.
2. Fatten one pig for every two
adult members of the family; cure
the meat properly.
3. Keep at least 100 good hens,
correctly housed and fed.
4. Raise a good garden ; water
from windmill, if possible.
5. Plant only cash crops, which
show little or no surplus.
6. 'Grow your own stock feed.
7. 'Butcher fat cows and steers ;
trade meat with neighbors.
8. Raise your own living ; keep
your roof tight.
9. Get down to earth and do the
best you can to -day.
10. Drive a horse until you can
afford to buy gasoline.
Current Reports.
Farm work throughout the province
is practically completed and farmers
are busy housing their stock and mak-
ing last-minute repairs on buildings,
etc., in preparation for the. winter
months. Very unsatisfactory prices
are reported for cheese, hogs, small
seeds, grains and hay. Abundant
rains have meant that many farm-
ers who had to draw water for live
stock last winter are noting that wells
and springs are filling up and they
will have sufficient to to&k after their
needs. Dufferin County advises that
one of the largest crops of mangels
and turnips plus large quantities of
cull potatoes assures sufficient suc
culence for winter live stock rations.
Grenville gives a report of the T. B.
Test in one township to date: Herds
tested, 349; cattle, 5240; reactors, 529;
premises infected, 119; compensation,
$18,619; percentage reactors, 9.7; av-
erage compensation, $35.10. Peel
County reports that Purebred Boar
Clubs and the Bacon Litter competi-
tions have encouraged the production
of bacon hogs of the select type. "The
premium paid by the packing plants
for select hogs during the present low
price of bacons, recompenses the
farmer for his foresight in breeding
and feeding the type of hog desired
by the packers for the export trade
as well as for home consumption."
The 1931 production of maple syrup in
Peel was over 2.000 gallons. Surp-
lus cattle sold over and above local
consumption in Wellington County in
the last year amounted to 15,000
head.
CONSTANCE
The Sunday school entertainment
held on Tuesday evening was a great
success. The weather was not as fav-
orable as Santa would have liked,
however there was a good attendance.
All the children taking part acted in
a very efficient manner. Much credit
was due Miss Viola Morrison and Mrs.
J. Ferguson for their efforts in train-
ing the children. The tree was well
loaded showing that Santa has a long
porkethnok. The Sunday school ap-
preciate the donation of candy and
Na
nuts given by Jam Stephenson for the
CAW children. Mr. Robert Clark donated a
goose to the Sunday school, whieh was
given to the pastor.
Mrs. Jean Britton and Miss Mar-
garet Love went to Walton on Wed-
nesday, where they will spend a week
with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Love.
Miss BIanche Wheatley, of Toronto,
is &pending her holidays with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Wheatley.
In reporting the W. M. S. Christ-
mas program an ommission was unin-
tentionally made. This was a Christ -
mass message in song by i'drs. B. B.

Old Time Rural
Entertainment
at Roxbor
•
Interesting Concert Held. at
Roxboro School on Friday
Last. Many Old-timers
Take Part.
On Friday evening, December 18th,
the people of Roxboro school section,
McKillop, held their annual school en-
tertainment. The weather was on its
hest behaviour for the occasion, and
the writer of this article, along with
as many others as could be accommo-
dated by the capacity of the building,
crowded into the school house on that
evening.
That they enjoyed the programme
immensely was amply demonstrated
by the applause which shook the
building almost continuously through-
out the performance. The pupils of
Roxboro school and the people of that
particular section have long enjoyed
the reputation of being first class en-
tertainers, and their performance on
this occasion was certainly no excep-
tion to the rule.
The first part of the programme was
carried out by the pupils now in at-
tendance at the Roxboro academy of
learning, and certainly reflects great
credit upon their teaehrr, Miss Rich-
mond, not only in the sc:c.ai:,n of the
programme, but in the very able man-
ner in which the various parts were
carried out by the performers. Their
programme was interesting, instruc-
tive and entertaining. There is still
lots of talent coming, forward in the
Roxboro district.
The second part of the programme
was allotted to the young people of
the section, assisted by the teacher
and former pupils, and a few veteran
entertainers who have made Roxboro
famous. The writer recognized among
the performers several members of
the "Scott" family. which name has
been a landmark in Roxboro history,
and the manner in which they carried
out their various parts in the pro-
gramme will certainly bring no dis-
credit whatever upon the illustrious
name they hear. a
The programme consisted of dia-
logues, pantomines, songs and danc-
ing. in fact, everything in the cate-
gory of good entertainment, and car-
ried out with exceptional talent
by the actors in every department.
The musical selections by the Mc-
Millan and Agar orchestras, strictly
local organizations. with which the
programme was copiously interspers-
ed, were exceptionally well rendered,
and vigorously applauded by an ap-
preciative audience.
The solos of Mr. Walker Hart, a
former pupil of Roxboro school, which
were sueg with his own accompani-
ment, were very appropriate and
brought ht downhouse g the on every oc-
ca
Mr. John McNay occupied the chair

This high class etertairtment will be
long remembered' by all those fertun-+
ate enough to be in attendat"rce.
