Bishop Seeger.
The Brockville Recorder and Times
says the improvement in the condi-
tion of the Rt. Rev. C. A. Seeger,
Bishop of the IDiercese of Huron, will
be weloomed by all` of hia, former as-'
sedates thronghout the Diocese of
Ontario. And it is a cease of special
rejoicing in the Diocese of Huron.
This gifted son of Huron county ov-
erworked himself after assuiming his
present high office, and his illness
went harder with him because he had
drawn too freely on his strength.
Bishop Seeger has already made a
secure place for rejoicing that his
useful life has many parishioners,
and it is aeraurse for rejoicing that
his useful life has been, spared.—

The general effect of all this house-
wifely industry and hustband,ry is
that every -village seems to be en
fete altout something. This hue a
most tonic reartion. It is color, color
everywhere—and calm; 'calm, and Yet
busy. They are always busy • upon
the farm and the family and the
'Imme. They start to get :leasy at an
unconrcionable hour of morning—
and they never stop. As an example
a the unflagging industry of the
Dutch, I always think of the streets
.in the little island of Walcheren
Every cobblestone in the read -ways
has bee -n imported from abroad. They
havle been there for several hnudred
years, but they had to be • fetcher
firoim1 othr countries. Hundreds .of
thousands of timber piles protecting
the sh.ore from the avaricious sea is
green -heart wood,—,from South.. Am-
erica. Think of the labor and
freightage involved in that! And
they take all this as a matter of
course—in their stride, as it we're.
lEnglisb-speaking Dutchmen wharn
one mai talk to (and nearly every
educated person seems to speak our
language fluently) will tell of the
customs of his people, whimsicaily,
for theyq are amused at many of
them.
The custrins of courtship, for ex-
ample, .antengst the farming 'awe
(the bulk of the population) in the
island orf Waleheron: It follows a
'stately if tortuous path in the fol-
lowing manner, and in no other. Un-
related youths and 'girls do not ac-
knowledge each ether et- talk in pub-
lic. It isn't done, They "keep theme
selves to themselves," aloofly apart.
Bufb, being a devoute comanunity,

that Mina has not come to church
this Morning. And his heart begins

neath his -black coot, because this
Is hota Ict Mean something. But does it?
InetiNntly he is away, walking very
fast toward Mina's home. He
knocks- at the door and is gravely
ado-rifted—by 'Mina. He thee takes
coffee rwith Mina's mother, and a
stilted conversation upon leoal gener-
alities ensues between the three of
them. (Mina, is dutifully busy with
the curiae; but the eyes of Mass are
entirely nerupied with ,the MUCCI'S .
For if he finds a caramel reposing
in his 'saucer his 'heart begins
thumping •still more heavily. It is
the sign he 'seeks. It Means that his
,presence at the back door -to-night
will be welcome. To-nightl, mark
you, 'because love -making in darrlight
is regarded as an impropriety.
And se to the back door he comes --

claimed.

whom this source of revenue has been

Sweet Petatoes in Kent.
J. C. Smith, a fruit apd vegetable
grower near Ridlgetown 'in Kent Co.,
Ontario, is an enthusiastic grower of
{sweet potatoes and claims that . all
Canada's needs. can be produced in
the Counties of Kent, Essex and
Lamibton and in the Niagara Dis-

In April of 1932 Mr. Smith order-
ed five harrupers Or sweet potatoes
and secured the directimis from a
large producer in Southern Kentucky.
Th ,e ya-ms' were planted in April in
hetsbed and in 18 days- the young
eprouts began to rise above the
ground. When about three inches in
height they were transplanted in rows
28 in•chas apart and 18 inches in the
row. By ,the 101,11 of October the
'harvesting began. The potatoes were
dug with a digger or ploughed out of

As a result of 'favorable weather

of red, clever seed. Present supplies
of hardy home-grown seed are ample
to take care of ordinary demand.

Branded Turnip Sales Good; Price
Increased -Last Week.
The experience of the Blackwater
Turnip Growers' Association in mar-
keting branded turnips, definitely in-
dicates that grading farm products
is a profitable practice.
J. H. 'Purvis, an executive of the
Association, stated that/ sales are

surplus is in Greet Britain. where
quality product is wanted. Further-
more, the •Ontario grower is obliged
to comrpete with the •West where cheap
grain makes cost of %yroduction low- \
,er than in the East. The Ontario
farmer's hope then is in quality hogs .
and through better breeding stock,
correct rations, parasite control and
good swine husbandry the Ontario
grower miay improve his position. The !
question of numbers is left for the
producer to dethrmine.
. Avoid Inferior Seed.

inferior seed with the margin of

Analyst in New York and well knewn
in Canada. • "Already ,this season

Current Crop Report. -
A nurrniber of farmers in Bruce
County have been enquiring for
.good seed oats. Sales have been
made at about 450 a bushel. All
baby elite& hatcheries in Peed County
are running to capacity, with hatch-
ability of eggs higher than in 1932.
Poultry men are feeding' mote cod
liver oil in la.ying mash than former-
ly. A good dieinand for horses is not-
ed in Perth .County, with 33 head be-
ing sold at an auction sale in Strat-
ford. One team sold' at $350 and
other horses as high as $150 each.
Some scarcity of good quality seed
oats and, barley is observed in Wel-
lington County, due to the excessive
moisture of 1932. Turnips are mov-
ing to market there at 15 to 18 cents.
There has been an increase in the
number of small seeds being sub-
mitted roe grading in Haldimand. It
is reported from Lincoln County that

• Seed May Be Scarce.
According to J. T. Cassin, manager
Central Ontario Potato Growers' At-
sociationi, there is a probability that
good seed potatoes mfay be scarce at
planting time. Thererfore, he advis-
es all growers to secure their, seed
requirements with as little delay as
possible.
Swine Cars Valuable.
A total or 45 stops wereL made by
the Ontario Swine Demonstration
'cars which completed their .itinerary
on March 4th. Animal husbandry ex-
perts from the Departments at To-
ronto and Ottawa gave an interest..
ing seriee of lectures, and parasites
were discussed by authorities from
the Ontario Vetierinarr College. The
lecture cars carried an interesting
collection Laf icharts and exhibits and
full coach was devoted to breeding
swine Whieh were sold to the farm-
ers. iDuring the first two weeks in
Eastern Ontario the sales at each
stop averaged five. At the first 30
stops, a total of 130 sows and- 18
(hears were distributed. The average
attendance was 85 per stop. A keen
interest in swine raising was evinced
and enquiries w -ere made regarding
feeding methods, colony houses and
parasite control. The officials made
it plain tbat Canada has a surplus of
of timothy and clover eeeds lying a-
round the country, seed that in many
cases has never, been °nee a clean- •
ing mill, this advice Would seem as
applicalele to Canada as to United
States this spring. Even in the best
of times the average farmer cannot
afford to gamble with doubtful seed,

a growing demand for straight f.o.b.

More Economical PrOduction Essen-
tial to Dairy Business.
"Dairy revenue has declined stead-
ily for the past few years and, in
my opinion, more economical pro-
duction of milk is the only solution
to our present situation in the dairy
•businese," said George H. Barr, di-
rector, Dairy Branch of the Depart-
ment.
"Serveral factors will serve to-
wards' lowering predilection costar
he continued, "but perhaps the
moet important or these is iimaineered
breeding. Much can he accomplish-
ed in increasing production of milk
per cow, through ening only pure
bred sires, with known milk prodac-
tion in their ancestry. A second im-
portant step towards more efficient
prroduetion is that of cotv testing With
a view to eliminating the poor ewes,
or reierders.' A third essential is
that of scientific feeding. A high...
producing herd must be fed haleneed,
rations."
