ASK FOR HANDBILL CANADIAN NATIONAL • • CeSNAPSI.JOT GUIL Take Children's Pictures Now Pictures like these will lend enchantment to your "Memory Album." HOW many members of the Snap- shot Guild have taken snapshots this summer of their children? It would'be interesting to know for so few parents realize the importance - of keeping what might be called a "Memory Album"—fascinating, sto- ry -telling pictures of their children. The two pictures above are expel- lent examples of story -telling pic- tures—the kind you should strive to take for your "Memory Album." They were taken' on just such a day as we hope to have tomorrow -sun- shine and bright skies. Mother snapped little 131111e as he was mak- ing a vain effort to sweep the front walk while Jane was apparently pleasurebound'with her toy dog and dolls. Aren't they real story -telling snapshots? Suppose that you want to snap a picture of your little son or daughter - playing or "working" in the yard. This is what you should do. First of all don't try to get the child to pose, for the chances are he will appear in a stiff, unnatural position in the finished picture. Let him} be- come busily engaged in whatever' he is doing and then rather nonchal- antly get as neer to him as possible with your c er •If you have a box earners you should not be closer than eight feet. Have the camera (if it is of the box type) set at the largest "stop" or lens opening/and you are ready; to "shobt" the minute your child unintentionally or intention- ally, if he is a good actor—assumes an interesting pose or position. 3e sure all of him sflows in the finder or else he may appear in the finished print minus his head or an arm. Here's another simple precaution. The shutter on a box camera oper- ates at a speed of approximately 1/25 of a second. This is net fast ennug'i to stop action when the camera is close to the subject•so in taking the picture of your, child wait until that moment when he is not in motion before snapping the picture for otherwise the image will be blurred. If you have a folding camera with a footage scale you can work as close as six feet to your subject and get a larger image. Set the diaphrsgrs. control pointer at f,11 or if it is quite - shady, Al /.8. Set the shutter speed indicator at 1/25 of a eeeond or num- ber twenty-five. Locate the chile ;a the finder and snap the picture. Don't have the sun striking ,the child in the face and then ¢it•.. t him not to squint. Let the light come across his face and you will' vet in- teresting shadows and show bis foss much bet`er.. And there'll be no squinting.

' • b Cattle Bloating in .Ontario Reports of cattle and horses in the St.— Thomas district suffering from bloating with some cases ending fat- ally were investigated recently by Professor R. G. Knox of the Depart- ment pi* Animal Husbandry, Guelp}'and Or. 'Mcllntosh, Ontario -Veterinary College, Guelph, accom- panied'by F. S. Thomas, agricultural representative, for Elgin County. The bloating of the cattle, Professor Knox stated, is pro'balbly • due to a change of diet,. eettle that were on dry feed being . turned on lush pasture. The condition that ..has caused cattle to chew bones and ,wood meal also has •scme bearing on the bloating,. he stated. Dr. IlV tos Iib . said that the chew- ing of 'boiiea. ktrid wood occurs as a result of deficiencies in. the diet, and in • this particular inbtanee phosplenc us is the deficient one. The animals most frequently affected are young, milking cows. The eendition usually -manifests itself in the' spring when cattle are first turned out to grass at the conclusion of a long stable - feeding period. - 'Hays and grains grown in years of droughtssuch as occurred last year are .quite deficient in phosphorus and -consequently' animals may crave for this element, he said. Dr. •!Mefintosh advised' local farm- ers who have reported cattle with depraved appetites, to correct the condition by the addition of bran, oil cake, or soybean meal to the grain rations. - G � Hay and Clover Crops The cutting of hay and clover. has lasted over a longer period than ord- inarily this summer. A 'very heavy hay crop, frequent rains in June which delayed Operations at the start, the early maturity of grain crops with lodging, all. contributed:, to -prolong the period of hay harvesting. At the .end of�. Jul'y about 12 per cent. of the ;bay crop—was still• in the field in Western and Central Ontario, while in Eastern Ontario 20 per cent. re- mained uncut, and in Northern On- tario from 25 per cent. to 50 per cent. In Southern Ontario the main hay crop was. practically all harvested. The yield is heavy in all sections of the Province and in a great many cases barn storage has been taxed to the limit so that grain threshing op- erations will have to be carried on in the field to a greater extent than usual. The first cutting of alfalfa is estimated at 2.02 tons per acre as compared with 1.08 tons per acre in 1934, and a normal yield of appro'xi- mately 1.75 tons per ,acre. Burley Tobacco Burley tobacco 'growers. -"of the Province of Ontario have submitted to the Dominion ,Marketing Board a Burley Tobacco Marketing Scheme under which it is proposed to regu- late the marketing of Burley tobacco grown in Ontario. The scheme has the sponsorship of the Essex Burley Growers' Association and the Kent Burley Grolwers" Association. The seTheme is in many respects similiar to the !Ontario Flus-eCua-ed .Tobacco MVlarketing . Scheme . which came into effect in October, 1934. The Local .Board under the proposed scheme will be made up of repres- entatives of both the producers and the buyers, the -latter being for the most part the large tobacco manufac- turers. Copies of the proposed scheme are available on request from the Secretary of,, the Dominion Mar- keting Board at Ottaw&. . Ontario Marketing Schemes Honey The Dominion Marketing Board has recently been giving consideration 'to a scheme to regulate the marketing of honey produced in Ontario. The scheme has the sponsorship of "The Ontario Beekeepers' Association" and representatives have waited upon the Dominion Marketing Board to explain ,the marketing conditions which the scheme is intended to improve. The scheme' is still subject to further re- view and amendment by,,the Domin- ion Marketing Board. Copies of the proposed scheme are available on request from the Secre- tary of the Dominion Marketing .Board at Ottawa. Those who ravish to make representations with respect to •the scheme may make them in writing or may make a request for a hearing before the Dominion Mar- keting Board. Rye and Wheat Crops Reports compiled by the Depart- ment indicate" that the average yield of fall rye is 18.9 bushels per acre which is an increase of 3.4 'bushels over last year. Early prospects of a heavy yield for fall wheat, however, were not sustained owing to extreme- ly wftrm weather during the filling period and conslderaib'le damage by rust.,The average yield is.placed at 2:3.9 !ushels per acre, which is app proximately two bushels under Vie ten-year .average,,, but considerably higher bittan the very low yield of Main Door College of Arts The University of Western On- tario has• five• academic buildings, namely, Main Building', Science Building and Library Building for the College of Arts, a Medical School Building and a building for the Faculty and Institute of Public Health. In these days people are asking: , "How are you going to find posi. tions for all the university gradu. ates?" The answer is: The State owes an education to its citizens. Without competent leiaders and a qualified citizenship no country can maintain its place in the march of civilisation. It is not the kind of work a man doesbut what he is that counts. There are between six and seven thousand students in the secondary schools of Western Ontario who are qualifying for university mat- riculation. A larger proportion of these students should seek the advantages of a higher education. The courses range in length from three to six years. The degrees are B.A., B.Sc., LL.B., M.A., M.Sc., M.D., D.P.H., C.P.H.N. In 1934-35 ' there were 1842 students enrolled Applications for registration should be submitted as early as possible. Students should come to the University prepared to pay their tuition and living expens_gein full and should not depend OA getting' work during their spare time.

The total crop amounts to 13,205,000 bushels as compared with 6,724,000 bushels in 1934 and a ten-year aver- age of 16,666,000 bushels. The acre- age harvested this season was about 130.,000 acres greater than last year. The quality of fall wheat is quite variable, with a considerable portion of the grain small., •and somewhat shrunken. ' The Ontario Approved Turkey Breeders' Association inspection work has been •greatly increased with 2,- 000 turkeys eligible for approval in- spection in 1935 against 682• in 1934.

The tomato soup trade also is almost entirely in Canadian hands. Feeder Purchase Policy To encourage the winter feeding of young cattle and lami'bs in those districts of Canada where feed is Plentiful, the lion, Robert Weir, Do- minion Minister of Agriculture has announced the renewal of the feeder policy which was in effect in 1934. The policy is effective from August 1 to December 31, 1935, and under its terms one-way .transportation and reasonable travelling expenses will he allowed to a farmer • in any part of Canada purchasing one or • more carloads of young feeder cattle or feeder lambs according to the condi- tions as laid, down by the Live Stock Branch,, Dominion Department of Ag- riculture. In Eastern Canada, . information, expense forms, and so on, may be ob- tained from . the nearest Dominign Live' .Stock .Branch representative at the stockyard visited, or from R. S, Hamer, Assistant Commissioner, Do - Minion Live Stock Branch, Ottawa. It is 'very important that those who desire to take advantage of this pol- icy should familiarize themselves with the term's because the policy does not apply to shipments purchas- ed for speculative purposes and all stockyard purchases must pass in- spection as to type and quality by the Stook Yards agent of the Domin- ion Live .Stock Branch in order to qualify for the expense payments. Attention is also directed to" the ne- cessity of applicants interviewing the Branch agent at the Stock Yards in advance of purchasing, STAKE GOOD POTATO. PLANTS- FOR SEED Potato tubers do not cross. They reproduce true to type. The only way, to obtain a potato crop is through the seed balls, which some- times form on the vines, and that method of propagation is practically never resorted to unless by someone interested int., originating a new var- iety Tubers are not really seed, al- thoiigh commonly so-called, but are asvegetat.ive part of the plant. If, therefore, the tubers are not mixed during the operation§ of digging,, handling, storage and planting, the' variety will not become impure (un- less by the rare chance of a sport) no matter how closely to another kind 'it may be grown. Thus one may eenfidently select seed tubers in the expectancy that like will -produce like. There is a difference in the vigour of strains, stocks and hills. Whe- ther this difference is wholly due, to the influence of disease, or is bo some extent inherent, may be left to the plant pathologists and the genetic- ists to decide. The practical fact is that some potato plants are more 'rigorous and prodttutive than others, and that in reproducing from these lie Possibilities of •ppefit..

A Biennial, it •requites two years to produce seed and can easily be dis- tinguished by its stems, flowers and leaves which closifi'y resemble • the cultivated carrot, one of our princi- pal vegetables which, it is claimed,' originated from the Wild Carrot. It has a large succulent - root which smells .very, Winch• like the cultivated carrot. This 'is one certain Method of identifying it from Caraway, a plant which closely resembles Wild Carrot and with which it is some - Hines confused. Flowers may be seen from July to ieptenilber and are iii white clusters which ere flat topped when open. When old, these flower clusters curl. up like a bird's nest.

Ir8 Waterloo Street, South, iStratford: Next roisit, September 18614 winter when plants break off and be carried by the wind with drifting soil and over frozen ground and •snow, scattering thousands of seeds. One farmer , states that where the snow fence was erected in his field, Wild Carrot was much more preva-, lent, plants• and seeds having been carried the: e Eby the wind. Being a Biennial any plan for its eradication should cover a two year period. It does not give any diffi- culty in fields whet* thorough culti- vation and a short rotation of crops are practised. Clovers, buckwheat, hoed crops, and early summer culti- vation followed by fall wheat and rye are excellent methods ,of control- ling this Best. In meadows which have been down two years or more, in pasture fields,. fence lines, 'waste places and road sides it is rapidly becoming one of our worst weeds. Pulling, spudding. or cutting for two years in succession will not give new plants an opportunity to form seed and 'will lessen the amount of Wild Carrot considerably. For heavy infestations in areas which cannot be cultivated, chemical weed killers are the only practical solution to the problem. Experiments have proven that this weed can be destroyed by spraying with a chemical with a sodium chlorate base or with • pure sodium chlorate 'without any perm- anent injury to the grass using a pound or less per gallon of water applied a day or so after the first blooms have appeared. When the supply of pastures un usually short and sheep arc turned in before Wild Carrot becomes too far advanced, they will keep it crop- ped close. Pasture fields or hay fields where a single cut of 1>nay has been taken off early should be trim- med again the latter part of August. All plants in flower are two year hiants which will die that Fall. If these• are, kept froth going to seed the Wild Carrot in the field must de- crease. An average plant may produce thousands of seeds each of which bears rows of prickles. These stick to animals, clothing, etc., and are carried long distances, Wild Carrot seed is an impurity in titnothy -or clover seed. Those keeping fields for seed are well advised to go over their fields and rogue out any carrot plants. More attention must be paid to this weed in the pasture, It is spreading at an alarming rate and grows more o'bjectieriaible each year. Every effort should ,.be rniade to keep .it from maturing seed.
