News and I<:forma- tion for the Farmer 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.

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 First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth SPECIAL CHRISTMAS SERVICES SUNDAY, DEC. 27th. 1931 REV.

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 )..404" Map Everp Jop and Happiness be Yours This Christmas ,Season. m. Ament `" Seaforth, Ont. pr Lions Club Host to Santa at Christmas Tree on Mknda Many People See Santa . Dis- tribute Stockings to Chil- dren and Watch Parade From Station. Seaforth Highlanders Band Pres- ent. 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., where the boards are becoming bare or the straw is soiled. 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. Stephenson and Mrs. Leo Stephenson. Mr. Leo Stephenson was in London on Monday on business. . 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 insihison. usual able and efficient manner. This high class etertairtment will be long remembered' by all those fertun-+ ate enough to be in attendat"rce. APsra!ria:'i' �t. Fsl'�r.: est ;711 Ftv )
