About to accept your re- isponsilbilities to society, you are, un- happily, as you will soon realize, for- gotten men. You know, of course, that "times are hard"; that less than ten per cent. of the postegreduate professional men . from last year's class have found work; that allow- ances from home have been cut, fam- ilies have had grave -isfortunes, homes have been lost. You know all these things, but you can't realize thern.fully at this moment. You will, unfortunately, realize them only too well when you yourselves try to find a place. in the world. • Yet I don't feel sorry for you, be- cause you are young. If all of you marched out this afternoon without a nickel to your names, you would at least have age on your side; few of you have responsibilities. except to yourselves; you hava not worked 20 years only to find yourselves forced to start oyer again, as is the case today with many talented men. I don't' want to give you advice on 'there to find work. • The serious problem that faces you is the very way of working. You have, unfor- tunately, inherited the illusion that only in the city can you, find power. opportunity, and glory. The men who graduated in '2' '24. and '?i; believed that. But lieten, to them talk to -dray, What will you find? Confusion and disillusionmeet. Not because they are poorer tban they were, or out of work, but because they suddenly discos Bred that they had no idea of whom they were. work - foe, or why. To -day, no matter how commodity price.s improve, land values rise. or men are 'put back to work, the fact of the matter remains that the city is over -manned. Ask your doctor's. For every interne placed in a repu- table -hospital there are hundreds druneming their heels, trying to find a position in the city. Harvard Law Review men are trying to find work as -20 •clerks. Beaux Arts prize architects of reputation and standing in their profession, play checkers in their 'em'pty offices. You, of course, believe the ,world is your apple: that with courage and ability you can do anything. That is an asset. But it is -a foolish cred- ential to -day in Detroit. Chicago, or New York simply because those cit- ies are over-marin•ed—not jut because of the Depression, but because of tie thousands of skilled men who rushed to the citta' in those days when the city seemed the only road to. opportunity. And today in the few urban centers, • for one of you .'willing to start at scratch there are other proved, able, even well known, men, asking for the sauce Chance. Againeal send you to your own campus veterans. 'Since the World War all of them had been going to the city. Concentration of power, wheel within wheel., of control, 'was just under way. Tmallld-fan had limited money; a+hem ed and dull. So they Went to the city, not just for money, but because of the great urge; the same striving, inexplicable urge that caused your grandfathers to abandon their farms and seek greater opportunities in the West. The new super -corporation era represented another gold rush. Picked men were • recruited by the hundreds to join gigantic organiza- tions. They..became super -drummers. touring the coutrtry for big business in one capacity or another. Or they became' a part of the great industrial flywheel in the cities., One and all, they were convinced that they were going places! ' ' Talk to them now. and you will find, not so much confusion at unem- ployment, but bewilderment that the zest has gone out of the game. Be- cause they really were not going places. Because they weren't resting on their own strength—they were part of the most complex financial concentration in the history of so- ciety. The excitement had fooled them. It was their delusion, nmoreo'ver, which robbed the country. particular- ly the rural part of it. of the ser- vices of young men arid turned it ov- er to the old, the unfit, and the feeble. And now the ccuritry is paying for it through the nose'. That is, the small town, the small city, for ten years was deserted. And I can think of no better place, or way far you to start work than to go' hom't. Go hone. Look at it. where - ever it is. You will find it just as your upper -clansmen left it: in the hands of the old and incomrpetent., And I don -'t care ,what your ambi- tion is. There is no 'part of home town life whieh doesn't affer'oppor- tunity: Your district attorney's of- fice; the home town newspaper; your hospitals: your builders; your mer- chants. Wlhaft do you fetid? Your courts and legislatures have (been content to follow their national. parties, obsequiously picking u'p whatever crumbs the bosses tossed them. Your hospitals-.-rGod k'now's here is opportunity (as a govern- ment commission on medical care can well verify). Your newspaper is con- tent to buy New York columnists and to feature articles about ,Chicago- gangsters. Your housing is fifty years behind: the times, and your -merch'an'ts have long ago given over to the chain stores. Your fauns are Ioaded with mortgages, your banks are closed, and your state is groan- ing with taxes, and, having lost its identity and birthright. is feebly pe- titioning for Federal aid. And you, of course, feel that all this is only an indication of how ,disgraceful going home must be, how imperative it is for you to go to the fbig city where they are doing big things in a big way.ted, in a way, I think you have been &heated There isn't any new land for you to exploit as carelessly and bumptiously as rout •fattherea and there is na ,place for you in t'he city. You can't start tat scratch --you have to' start far bele* actra'teh. ,At home you will find a pathetic grip of peo'pie who are willing to beetle to you. 'There are a great. many people in your 'home who nev- er thought an auton Obile, a radio and a shower bath constituted:, a high standard of living. There were serve eral merchants who didn't know, or agree to, the manner in which the local power plant suddenly became a pin in a great utility system'4 load chart. There are a few lawyers who would not object to a court which wasnnt conducted like a musical com- edy. Most important, you can•,.,find, fighting in your own, back yard, a substance whieh the veterans of the cities have never found; you can find what they thought they were follow- ing: independence, free living., and private enterprise. Of course, there is only one sim- ple answer to the question: how to start to work when you do go home. ,You've got to staot by making your- self a poet of it. It's a tedious, toil- ing job to take control away from the agencies of remote corporations, from the sterile. and complacent un- lit, but, after. all, it's yours, and you are young. It's an 'old country. But it nerds reclaiming. I'd go back and take it over. And, gentlemen, I wish you luck. The Clarity Racketeers • Seed Cleaning Machines Special machines are required for the preparation of mangel,°sugar beet and carrot seeds for the market. From the two tirst=named crops all pieces.,. of stalk must be removed. This separation ie. nmacle with ma- chines which. ¢take advatitage of the tact that the seed is round whilst the sticks are more or less flat and will not roll. The machine consists of a trav,e?{ing endless belt set, at an incline upon which the seed to be cleaned is fed. Carrot seed has email spines which cause the individual seetis' to cling together, so that, be- fore th,e carrot seed can be cleaned and graded, the spines must be re- moved by rubbing.. There are several types of machines for this purpose, but plans of small -angel and car- rot seed ening devices can be ob- tained from the Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Home Preserves . In the successful hone preserva- tion of fruits and vegetable?, the matter of proper storage is import- ant. A cool, dark place is ideal be- cause heat favors the growth of bac- teria; light causes fading, while dampness furthers the inception" of Moulds and may even cause rust on the metal fastenings of jars. Can- ned goods, says the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture in its',latest bulletin on preserving fruit in the hone, should not be- allowed tq lie about under uncertain conditions. The jars should be labelled with '1ihie name of the product and date when canned. If dark storage is not avail- able, the jars should be wrapped in paper to exclude the light. Again, if a damp atmosphere is positively un- avoidable, the rubbers on the jars should be examined from time to time as mould may attack them,. maki g possible, the admission of air and bacteria to the contents of the jar. (Condensed front ,Social 'Science by Aidolph E, Meyer, in Reader's Digest) At least $510,000,000, it has :been estimated, are collected every year by charity swindlers, known to the legitimate welfare workers as "gyp- pers," 'r'ISharp ooters," or "charity racketeers." The lowest forth of _charity swind- ling is barely different from simple mendicancy. This type of ,racketeer groes after has profits personally and directly. Of such workers one of the most successful was a New York wo- man who garbed herself as a Catho- lic nun and, appealed for funds for the needy •Catholics of New York. Another, a negress, who claimed a legitimate right to wear the veil of sisterhood on the ground that "the - Reverend Moses of the Baptist Church had made her a Mother of the Church," carried a "charter" signed 'by the Reverend Moses duly authorizing "the bearer - to collect funds." When examined by authori- des, she explained that she had re- linquished laundry 'work for welfare work "because she was suffering from high blood pressure." This type of bogus .charity, made up main- ly of the smaller fry, in most cases mentally below par. holds the records for arrests and convicjtions. Higher in rank and ability are those who employ agents to collect for them. The.. so-called "products companies" for a long time were a- :pong the most common. A typical products cem'pany does its' bit for the down -trodden by sending 'out sales- men with choice bargains in toilet articles. :'No actual donations are, sought," but a percentage of )t'h(e proceeds of the sales, the customer is assured, goes to a worthy charity. One such company sold perfumery for the benefit of an association for the 'Jew isl-i blind, besides supporting a mission for homeless persons. To protect the public against unscrupu- lous' collectors. it equipped its repre- sentatives with an official shield. That this shield was not unlike the badges of the New York police was assuredly not without its °psychelogi- cal effect on many a reluctant'pros- pect. Collettors received 50 per cent. of the cash obtained. Another pro- ducts company worked for "the bet- ter comfort of the orphan and desti- tute cildren" in a "Hebrew kinder- garten and day nursery." Investi- gation showed that the company simply paid the day nursery a small sum monthly for the use of its namle. None the Mess, the company continued for a long time to announce that "with each purchase you contribute to a worthy charity." - With the watchdogs of the law snapping at their heels, most 'of the products company magnates have been forced into more regular forms of commerce. An exception, however, was the' former president of a pro- ducts company wh•o organized' a so- ciety to alle'aiate the suffering of needy tubercular patients. He broad- cast some 60,000 letters, enclosing in each a sheet of 50 special Christmas seals. For one dollar one could keep the seals and have one's name in- scribed on the association's Roll of Honor.. Every dollar helped "some poor unfortunate afflicted with the dreadful disease." The requests went into the mails just one month before the appearance of the regular Christmas seals. Many people actu- ally _bought them in the belief that • i1 Ii1Il IllllldlH 1 ' "Will we take S250 for the red bull?" *\1144...„ Young Tom Wilson had a string of cattle at the fair. A buyer took a fancy to the red bull, but Tom was afraid to take the responsibility. "Why not telephone your father?" the buyer suggested, and in a few moments Tom was speaking with his father at the farm. "Will we take $250? You bet!" the old man decided,. and thanked his stars again for the convenience and value of the Long Distance tele- phone. For 30 cents, you can telephone about 100 miles by making an "any- one" call (station. - to -station) after 8.30 p.m. See list of rates in front of directory. a tNrf f: rpu'Nf S) I e /�j '///vlt *pop a'y s stt�t.9ri�t�It�/l�y ineX�e�.aive they were gettingathe bona fide seals to which, they were strikin4ly simi- lar. Of the $350.0 brought in through the sale of these seals only $1522$ had gone for actual relief work. The bulk of the society's receipts had' been, spent for the "purchase of real and personal property." rA "consumptive home, national in scope," started its existence with an intrepid backer and ten go-get- ting solicitors. A shack somewhere in the Catskills was purchased. Photo- graphs of this, entitled, "Our Old Home" were reproduced on "One col- lar Coupons." Three of these cou- pons entiitled the bearer to "receive a membership receipt." On them was also a picture of "the new build- ing ewe will erect," (which, oddly en- ou,gh, was an exact replica of the Congressti'onal Library), an,', the words: "Happiness is to be shared with others if it is to be real. There- fore we appeal to your known gen- erolsity. • . \Do your share." Every dollar coupon specifically gruar- antseed that "everyo�li l' saves a human life." The backers of this home did a superb business. A truckmlan purchased 1,200,000 handkerchiefs. Next he scanned the telephone books for names and ad- dresses. To these he sent ii}le hand- kerchiefs with appeals "to aid the little crippled children." Every pro- spect was •asked to keep theee hand- kerchiefs for one dollar, and was re- minded that "all donations would be gladly accepted." A printed for•pr read as follows: "Please look into the following case of a crippled child which I undeestand is worthy and financially unable to obtain proper surgical attention." The schemre went over in a grand way until the law became suspicious. 'The society's mail was intercepted 'through the post office officials, opened and read. Some 700 tlett.rs contained donations of more .ithan $71.000. The truck - man had `•`expected to clean up 5500,- 000 in three months, after which he would go to Europe." ,Insteadl, he,was sentenced to Atlanta fox' two and one-half years. World War ,veterans are another bait often used by the charity rack- eteer. Advertising .that "a 'nation which forgets its disabled soldiers shall peri's'h from the earth," a league launched its campaign by writing let- ters to nationally known men, stating that it was organized for the benefit of the ex -service man and asking permission to use the recipient's name as a menrber of the society's advisory board.. In most cases this request was quickly granted. Thus equipped, it now undertook its drive for money. Bundles of lead pencils were sent out evith the ne•auest that they 'be kept for two dollars, the money collected to be used for disab- led veterans. If the first request failed, a second cut the price to one &eller. 'To help in getting "more members a "national.convention" was supposedly held -in Atlantic City. Wheal a photographer cameto take a picture of the assembled members, the officials rushtrd bo a nearby em- lploennen't agency to _,hire "50 white men to act as spectators at a con- vention," The photographer recog- nized some of the hired delegates, and the news finally reached the ears of the postal authorities. When the facts were all put together, it was revealed that mere than 5278,000 had been collected. ' For the welfare of the disabled soldiers the organiza- tion had spent only $3,000. Unless the charity racketeers transgn:ss against the laws of the Federal Government, they are' in most instances able to escape ,witli a comparatively light punishment. In- deed, in the city of New York, be- cause of the difficulty of getting a conviction, the authorities in most cases prefer to drive these defraud- ers out of their nefarious business rather than to undertake a prosecu- tion against -theme To prove wilful fraud is never simple. !Hance to curb the charity ra keteer laws alone will not suffice. Pato'bably one of the best ways of attacking the whole problem is to awaken the public a- gainst the s!harpshooter's maraud- ings. The safest way to protect one- self 'against the ,charity racketeer is to make one's contributions only to established and well known welfare agencies. Practical...Hog Raising Following the recommendations of the Live Stock Branch, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, .the follow- ing practical results in hog raising were obtained by Mr. A. Campbell, Reston, Manitoba: Litter of twelve pigs weighing 2,690 lbs. at $4 per cwt. 5107.60; 12 selects at $1 each, $12 ---value of litter $'I19.60. Costs —charley 5,588 lbs. at 30c per 'bushel, 534.92; oats, 816 this, art 2(5e per bush- el, $6; wheat 720 lbs. at 50c per bushel, $6; milk, 14,400 lbs. at' 10c per cwt. $14.40: Feed costs $61.32; marketing 2,680 lbs. at 65c per cwt., $17.48;—Total cost $78.80. Profit on 12 hogs, $40.80; profit per hog, $3.40, Fall Plowing Heavy Clay ,Discussing methods used in pro- ducing crops in rotation with refer- ence to corn,for silage, the bulletin of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture on "Crop Rotations and Soil Management for Eastern Canada" says loamy or sandy •soil may be spring ploughed for corn but clay land should be fall -ploughed. Where land may be spring -ploughed, more time is usually available in the spring to do the work than is avail - allele in the Fal. Manure which is produced during the• winter may be spread during the winter, or spring and ploughed under, while, if fall - ploughing is done, it is s•o'inetnnies a little diffi'cul't to disc the manure in- to the soil, especially if the manure is strawy. Where corn is .grown on sod, there is usually quite a growth of material to plough, under, which is of considerable advantage if the 'soil is lacking in organic anlattter. ' ' Notwithstanding these adtvantages in favor of spring -ploughing for corn on light land adapted to sprirjg- ploughing, fall -ploughing must be done on heavy clay soil if maximum yields are to be obtained.. Where p'ossi'ble, corn should be grown on fairly light soils, as such soils are better adapted for the growing of this crap than are the heavy soils. If couch grass or other similar weeds are present, all kinds of land should be ploughed in the summer as soon as the preceding crop has been har- vested. The land should then be cultivated frequently during the fall, and again ploughed late in the fall. Where the land is weedy, there is no. substitute far frequent ploughing and cultivating, but if weeds are not prelve alent there is no advantage in its favor aver one fall -ploughing. FARM NOTES . Pig Feeding Methods . Although there are several -meth- ods of preparing meal mixtures for feeding pigs, t'he following rules are re.comeranded as safe practices' in producing hogs of the desired type: (1) Grind all grain. Fine grinding is recommended, especially for young pigs. (2) Soak meal mixture be- tween feeds; do not- use' too much water but feed as • a fairly thick slop. (3) Hand feeding is the hest method for securing hogs ..of a de- sirable type. (4) If necessary, -a 'self -feeder .mays be used', after pigs have reached the growing stage of development; • (•5) Keep p a i 1 s, troughs and other feeding equipment clean. Mouldy or decaying matter will cause feeding troubles, and (6) Supply clean drinking water. Indigestible Poultry Feeds. Of the slaughter house by-pro- ducts for the feeding of poultry, meat meals or meat scraps are by far the moat commonly used and are the standard animal .protein supple merits to poultry rations. They vary greatly in analysis according to the amouttt of bone material thee- con- tain but are usually purchased on' a guaranteed -analysis. -The poorer grades containing quantities of hoof and horn should not be tolerated as poultry feed as these products (hoof and horn) are practically• indigest- ible to `poultry. 'With a little experi- ence,'' it is possible to tell at a glance whether the brand is suitable: for feed or net, but, if' in doubt, pour a little boiling water an a sample, and the smell arising should settle the matter even withath'e inexperienced. DO YOU KNOW O•DN1 TO . . SELECT VEGETABLES FOR THE COMING FALL FAIRS? Department of Agriculture Tells How You May Im- prove Your Exhibits. AH vegetables to be erhi'bited should be perfectly fresh, clean, uni- form: in size and colour, free from :blesndsihes of any kind and correctly named.

The rind should be soft en- ough to admit the thumb nail with slight pressure. • Record Junior Entry at Central • Canada 'Fair. The Junior Agricultural Depart- ment 'at the Central Canada Exhibi- tion, Ottawa, is rapidlybecoming one of the chief features of the en- tire week. This department attracted an entry list of well over 650 from counties of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. This is an increase of slightly over 1000 entries above the mark established last year. The pro- gram includes, in addition to the reg- ulation judging competitions in do- mestic science, live stock, poultry, seeds and vegetables, ,such other fea- tures, as competitions in halter mak- ing and .showmanship, and special classes for individual entries and club entries open only to memlbers of reg- ularly organized Boys' Calf Clules in that section of the two provinces. It was these latter classes that attracted and created the most in- terest on the' ringside. Over 60 'calf club members exhibited their calves. Ringside comment was most apprec- iative, not only of the high quality of the calves, but also of the manner in which they were turned out and handled by their owners. The sec- tion devoted to Hiols'teina attracted entries from ten different clubs, with thirty-nine -club inemsbers competing. Lanark County had . ,the winning group, wibh Dundas, Renfrew, Leeds, Cael'etom and 'Russell following in( the order named. In the Ayrshires, Glengarry was first, with Stormont, Grenville and Carleton following in order. Dundas had the winning group of Jerseys wird Renfrew scor- ed', a double win with groups of Shorthorns and Herefords. The: cham- pionship ribbon for the best dairy calf went to Donald Cumming, of Glengarry County, and Jas. .;Mask, of Renfrew, won a similar honour -fox the best beef calf.

(We are, therefore, fully justified in assuming that the. walk mi ex - ,press earnlething aa manls indi- vidual character. The ;subjects of the above experi- ments, . when they were shown the pictures of their own walking legs, together with a number of other ;pic- tures, unfailingly picked their own correctly. But they '(were unable to piek out the picture of `the legs of their friend's subjected to the same test together with them, under an- alogus conditions and with exactly the same footwear. •A wife may give an excellent char- acter description of her husband's way of walking, but she will not re- cognize it on the -screen. - We all know how our friends, rela- tives, family, walk, we have'wateeled them do' it dozens of times, but we have never seen ourselvles walk. Therefore, if we put the question whether we can recognize ourselves by our walk, the reply ought to be negative. 'Here the experimental method' has a surprise in store for us. Subjects filmed and then shown'bhe pictures• of their walking legs, . invariably ree cognize them. What is it that makes a roan re- cognize his 'own walk although he has never seen it? It. is .his • own specific "rhvthan" of which he is mysteriously and unconsciously con- scious. Does the individual know himself well enough to recognize all his media of expression? Of course, he constantly hears his own voice and see his own hands. It is, therefore, natural that he should recognize them. Here another surprise awaits us: We never recognize our Own voice, nor can we pick the photograph of our band from among a number of other photographed hands. Yet we inilmediately recognize our walk, something that we never saw befdre. What does this mean if not that the walk is the true expression 'of our most intimate self, so intimate that nobody but the individual him- self is aware of it, while he knows nothing of the intimate self even ' of 'his nearest kin and is, therefore, un- able to identify hien by the picture of his walk. Here indeed is the place to say that, the old adage. "Tell me with whom you go and I will tell you who you are" could more appropriately be changed into "Tell me how you go 'and I will tell you who you are!" Your Walk Reveals Your... Character (Condensed from Die Umschau, Frankfurt, in Magazine Digest) The character of an individual has different media of expression, in the first place his face and handwriting. Also thevoice and lines of the hand May reveal some essential features of an individual's character to those' wlhb concern themselves with the problem of character -reading. - Only one medium of character ex- pression has been strangely neglect- ed -until recently: the 'walk. It has never formed the object of scientific research, yet, unconsciously, we al- ways associate an individual, even an animal, with his specific manner of walking. For example, the picture of a kangaroo imrmediately makes us think of its peculiar jumping; that of a camel, of its heaving walk. The picture of a horse is associated with the idea of trotting. It is the same with humans: when we think of a soldier, we see him: marching, and when we speak of a peasant we hear his heavy gait. Walking has its artists, too. Who of us has not admired Charlie Chap- litt'r specific gait, into which he puts a truly philosophic meaning. With Chaplin the walk is much more than just tape expression of a given character. In all silent films, the walk was the most eloquent of all movements, for it is in: bite individu- al's walk," that bis specific "rhythm" finds ite beet expression. The gait may be light, heavy, winged, drag- ging, uncertain. The •primitive peo- ples dispose of elven a greater variety of terms for the definition of the var- ious ways of walking, because in their imagination the walk of a man is 'identi'fie'd with the scenery in which it takes place. For examlple, they have one term the meaning of which is approximately the following: "To walk hoppinlg through country rug- ged and torn with heat. . ." .The .walk is typical not only of to individua'l's age and social position, but also of his race. The German, the Englishman, the Frenchman, the oriental, all have their specific racial wary of walking, apart from their in- dividual gait. What does the individual know of his own manner of walking? Is he conscious of it as of a medium of expression of his character? Would he recognize his fellow 'beings by their walk? It is d'iff'icult to answer these ques- tions, because to test the prenomen- on numeroue special experiments are required, the execution of which is rather intricate. However, the film is a valuable aid in ,suclr tests', be- cause it gives the possiblity>I of, fix- ing an individtbal's Walk and then showing him the rpictiire of the walk- ing legs alone. A few auch experitmints have been cat'ried out and 'given / 4emlarkabfel and in a way else surprri•sing results. Oh'araeter deseri;ptioiit of t'he 'Walk Nature's Nitrogen Store CHlunuus, the vegetable .matter in soil in the form of the semi -decom- posed remains of past -.generations of plant life, is nature's storehouse for nitrogen. As th'e humus in a soil is increased or decreased, so is the ni- trogen increased or decreased. Humes performs the useful purpose of so favorably* affecting the physical con- dition of both clays and sands that it renders them suitable- for the sup- • -- port of crops. It furnishes• the ma- terial upon which the micro-organ- isms of the soil feed, thus fostering a -valuable agency in the preparation of plant food. And, again, it serves in the maintenance of soil produc- tivenes's by- • 000irstantly liberating in its decomposition certain small amounts of mineral matter in forms peculiarly available for absorption by the roots of plants. Illegal Egg Trading One of the most commion causes of prosecutions under the egg regula- tions of the Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act, administered by :the Live Stock Branch, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture is the purr- chase of eggs at a flat rate in viola- tion of Clause 9, paragrapih 4 of these regulations.
