S. Millburn, 'secretary of the Ontario Federation of „Agriculture, announced. ' The conference is being called un- der the auspices of the ,rural commit - dee of • the Canadian Youth Commis- sion, Mr. Millburn: explained. Pur- pose of the Conference is to "give ex- pression to the concern and opinions of rural yedsth on, their present and _postwar problems." The Canadian Youth Commission-, -which has launched a tWo-year. na- tional Studir. of the problems Of Cana- dian youthd)has organized a Rural Youth.

It is a wise policy immediately .after the fall work has been completed to make a het of the known parts to be replaced and repairedt Under the conditions that exist and are likely to exist for the war's duration, it is wise to order parts well in advance of their actual need, otherwise long delays are likely to occur. - As- far as spossible, repairing should' he done during" fall and -Winter when there is not so much work to be done outdoors at:during the growing sea- son: Repairs that cannot be. done on the farm should be taken ±0 ,the black - stairs or other repairman in the fall and winter so that his work may be more evenly -distributed throughout the year. In overhauling machinery, all hear- ings, axles and similar parts subject to wear should be taken apart and examined carefully. Any that are not likely to work well for another 'full season should be replaced. Other parts should be thoroughly cleaned and exansined„taking particular care to see that the lubricating parts -are orking well. Parts that work in the ground,' such .as cultivator shovels and discs should .also be eheCked 'sand those that are cracked or d'adly worn should be replaeed. Others may re- quire sharpening to in -sure best re- sults for the following season. A reasonable -number of well chosen implements all kept in first class working condition will do better work than many machines - in in. ifferent working order. * * * There is Still Hope " • Ii spite of the liquidation of sows and the rumoured lack sof demand for lit-tle pigs, swine breeders went to the Ontario Yorkshire Club Sale at Galt on October 14 and paid record prices for breeding stock. AAnother significant teeter was the premium pleeed on Advanced Regis- try breeding. The first prize sow sold for $150, while. the second prize sow, with tomplete qualified pedi- gree, 'brought $260. The buyer-. paid a $50 premium for this certificate of merit. s d There May be a lull how in swine production, but all is not lost. On- tario will dsi on producing bacon hogs; and productiors will be on a sound basis if merit, as determined by the Advanced Registry test, is re- aognized breeding tock to the ex- tent of 00 per sow. * *.

Some will depend upon Western grain for seed, and before it is sown the grower should assure himself re- garding two points: First, is the' va- riety suitable for the district in which it is to he grown; and secondly, is it free :from noxious weeds that might pollute the farm. Since grain car- rying up to three per cent. dockage may come east without. recleaning, those who buy it with -the intention of using it for . seed are exposing themselves to a hazard of no small proportions. There is no time to waste, but if those with seed to spare and those in need will get together during the coming months there should be en- ough good seed to provide for a abundant crop in 1944. MattreSses 'Canadian, housewives have develop- ed many thrifty ways during the war years. These are days to be proper- ly appreciative of a good mattress. War workers must have , a restful sleep; -and if mattresses are bumpy, sleep suffers. The materials from which mattresses. are made are be- coming increasingly difficult to pro- cure, and the situation is not likely to improve for some time. A pad should be used over the mat- tress. This protects the mattress and makes for sounder -sleeping comfort. If the mattress rests on open coil springs, use a pad between spring and -mattress. An old quilt or cot- ton blanket is best. This will insure against enagging or tearing -the mat- tress. It can be held in place with tapes, stitched to the pad and tied to the spring frame. A light muslin cover is a good in- vestment for any mattress. It will keep the -dust out; and is removable for laundering. . Turn the mattress' weekly, one week from end to end, the next week from side to side. This helps to eq- ualize wear and humps and hollows are not as. likely to develop-. During fine weather, open ,the win- dows wide and sun and air the mat- -tress. Throw the covers back and leave the bed open for about an hour before making it up. The mattress will receipe new`vig- our if every four months it is aired for half a days. and cleaned' with vacuum cleaner attachment or whisk broom. Garden Tools. Canadians, living in the rural dig- tricts this year went in for Victory gardening in a big wasi: As usual the vegetable garden near the farm house has been the source of most fruits and vegetables. for the family. With the advent of frost and cooler wea- ther, the season is all but through and gardens require less attention. Jobs are "not finished, however, until the garden equipment is stored away for the winter months. The metal parts of various tools and the lawn mower can be preserid ed by oil. Under no circumstances should these tools be in scontact with the hose or kny other rubber articles. Grease is "poison" to rubber. Han- dles that have worn loose should be wedged or screwed back to their or- iginal firmness before being stored away. Store the garden hose off the ground in the tool ahed, If possible. This will help to keep it free of dirt, grit and grease. ' -It is advisable to coil the hose on a wooden reel in order to prevent bends tand kinks teem terming. Keep leftover or gathered seeds moist and col, and like leftover sup - Plies of insecticide and fertilizer, StOre tlibno where -they willcbe free from mice and water.

The money which is raised, by,the distribution of the Poppy-dtis,e sdinhol of sacrifice -- is used entirely to relieve unusual distress; =sing war veterans of the last war and the present conflict, and their families. At all times it has been found that the Veterans, in view of the fact that taasty of them have disabilities and handicaps, suffer ev- en more than others who are out of employnseht, since many of them re - (mire specidl care and attention which they are unable to provide. This is where the Poppy Fund, raised through the sale of Poppies_ by the local branch of 'the Legion, steps- in and provides relief for the situation. There is another reason why every citizen should 'wear a Poppy for Re- membrance Day. Theie Poppies are manufactured in the Vetcraft shops of Canada, workshops in which handi- capped Veterans are given sheltered employment, and in which they'mann- facture the hundreds of thousands of Poppies which are distributed eery year at this time. ,By wearing a Pop- py, citizens can find much satisfac- tion in knowing that tbey are helping these handicapped Veterans to obtain a livelihood which they would other- wise lack on account of their special disabilities. This two -fold appeal Should find a ready response" in, the hearts and minds of the people of this commun- ity, which has always been Teady to make the way easier for those of its citizens who served Country and Em- pire in the Great War, and in this presentdconflict. We commend it to your diimpathetic consideration, in the; hope that you will respond gen- erously and -thus help to hold the torch flung to you by those who did not come back. , 41401, viisicfp0e.,Andeenfilaitfsflo ,Illess441440*-41% g4.117 9nt AA 4t. or,r4lie 'hattle range. ,. .,• rphay; have a Nag platoo4 ot PARI,P iliDervvagh AKI,444 who/414o 00000 pit their --01011, and otrerigtb in lion* to-haorabat: Proper use of earns', onflage and anti-OnnWin& jfild dd(i. part of , the 0711glii14. riel,dd.ratt schemes of all kindp are taught odver the rougls Ippersvaeli terrain.

' Lessons learned in military camp construction earlier in the war have been incorporated into Camp Ipper- leash. The buildings are well insulat- ed, each building has a central heat- ing plant, hardwood floors and attrac- tive interior and exterior decoration. The parade ground 300 feet by 600 feet has an asphalt surface and flood- lighting for night exercises. Covering an area of 3,000 acres, the land surrounding the camp provides almost every type of country over which infantrymen snay expect to manoeuvre on active service.
