Notice was received from the Wheat Hoard as fon Iowa : "Due -to the emergency crop Condi; tions in 'Eastern Ontario, the Cana- dian Wheat Board has agreed to. waive the •procedure outlined in sec- tion 2 of our Maximum Price An- nouncement No. 4—June 16, 1943, in- sofar as Eastern Canada grown oats or barley are concerned. "'(thout application to or permis- sion from this Board buyers of East- ern grown oats or .barley in Eastern Canada may now' pay a ..premium above the maximum prices of com- mercial grain but the purchase price must not exceed the,maximum prices of the commercial seed grades when these grains are purchased for the purpose of processing to •seed' stand- ards. Such -purchases must be con- fined to oats or barley suitable for processing to meet the comiihercial seed standards." This means that buyers can now pay farmers more than the feed grain ceiling price of 51 cents a bushel for oats which, if cleaned and processed, would make good seed grain. This ruling is expected to release a fairly large quantity of oats now being held by farmers to -be fed to livestock so that it can be used to help relieve the seed grain shortage in Ontario.. The Chairman- of the Commission ntimated that as the drawback of Western feed grain coming to Can- ada had been increased by 17 cents a bushel, the -Commission's recommen- ctaeon that the ceiling price of On- ario Winter Wheat be increased by 15 cents a bushel had been forwarded o the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. This would provide a differ- ential of 32 cents a bushel between he price of Ontario Winter Wheat nd the feed grain which 'Ontario armers would have to buy to replace t in order to make it available for milling into pastry flour. The situation in the 'hog production base of agriculture was discussed at reat length by the Commission and his discussion was finalized lay the doption. of the following fecommen- ation: "That the Minister of Agriculture rge that the already established pol- cy of two-year bacon contracts be ontinued and that they be reviewed nnually. "That the most complete and auth- ritative information on• ths industry nd' the overseas market be made *enable to producers at all times. "That adequate steps be taken in onjunction with the other Provincial overnments and the federal govere- ent, by providing •a substantial ad- itional premium of not less than $1 er 'A' hogs and 50 cents for 'Bl' ogs, to arrest and reverse the pre- ent trend to inferior quality and less- nQd quantity." Mostof the time of the week's .ses- esion, was devoted to a discussion.,of e problems of the supply of farm bor and machinery.. As a result, ope was held out that additional sup- ies of farm machinery will be avail- ble for next year's farm work. In onnection -with the labor .situation:, vidence was given by officials of the epartment of Agriculture, a repre- ntative of the Military forces and fficials of the National Selective Ser- ce. These witnesses testified as to e means now being adopted to en- avor to keep the present farm labor the farms, to protect farm workers om army call-up and t'o ensure the turn to the farms of workers tem- rarily released for war and .,other dustries.

The quality of' Ontario potatoes, says Mr. Goodin, shows a marked im- provement over that of recent prev- ious years. Demand is good and ceil- ing prices are being obtained on prac- tically all • markets for graded table stock. Growers who specialized in • their potato crops during the past growing season have obtained favorable re- turns and large quantities, of valuable food nutients were procluded which will assist greatly in overcoming shortages in other fed products. Poultry Health Greatest Asset Cost of production, -health of stock and good management go hand in hand in the poultry industry. Not- withstanding all that has been said -about improved marketing, more mon- ey can be saved by improved meth- ods and better planning inside the farm gate than beyond. The chief costs are feed, labor; stock .replace- ment (mortality), equipment, and costs of taxes, interest and deprecia- tion. Of these costs, 'the two most readily controlled are feed and stock replacement. The cost of feed may vary as much as 20 per cent. accord- ing ta_t'he metrods used. The cost of stock replacement has a dire tion to mortality. A high degree of health is an important factor in ttie poultry industry.

The answer is that ewes which are in good condition in the fall and have good quality roughages need little or no grain, if lavmbing is delayed until late spring. The.. amount of grain to feed depends upon the quality of the fod- der and the date of lambing. Ewes should be examined individually from time to time to determine their con- dition, and grain should be given if they are losing flesh:' Grain is usual- ly recommended during the month. previous to lambing and should ben continued -until the sheep go on pas- ture. In the case of using poor fod- ders, it is generally recommended to feed one-half 'pound of grain per day during the entire winter. Grain should never be more than coarsely ground. Further information on the breeding, feeding and housing of sheep will be found in the special pamphlet No. 71, Wartime Production Series, obtainable from Publicity and 'Extension 'Di- vision, Dominion Department of Agri- cultnre,"Ottawa.

Sees Mitchell Friend By News Reel Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Faust received a letter • from their- son, Carl Faust, who is in the R.C.A.F., stationed at St. Hubert, Quebec. He and his wife were in Montreal taking in a show: They showed a news reel in *lineli one of the ;boats landed in, England. To Carl's surprise •he saw amongst the nen in uniform walking down the plank walk, one of his Mitchell pale, Herbie Homuth. They stayed for the and more intensely so during the de- pression, Canadian farmers have been slipping, debts have increased, and ev- en with debt adjustments which were desirable to farmers and others alike, the farmer has no license to ,be plac- ed in the -unenviable position of be- ing unable• to carry on his business witihout being in "the red. An evi- dence that the farm . business. 'was slipping financially was seen in the fact that his ,buildings lack paint, lack improvements and need modernizing., The farmer and his wife do not choose to be in the position, where only eight per cent. of the farm dwelling have a- sanitary facilities, seven per cent. with bathing facilities, less, than 26 per cent. with electric lights, and only 12 per cent. ,have furnaces of any de- scription for heating purposes. What has been even more disas- trous is the fact that the farmers' greatest bank account—the soil—was being steadily drawn upon to the de- triment of production. 'The gradual depletion of Canadian soils due to in- ability of the farmer to pay for pro- per fertilization, insecure live stock markets and population to maintain soil fertility, coupled with erosion have. taken a heavy -,toll of the great fertile soil wealth of" Canada. The farmers' war effort, namely an all-ou•t production program with even more limited fertilizers than in' times of peace, has to the farmers' own knowl- edge, still further drawn on Canada's soil resources. These are a few of the facts which must be faced in Can- ada's future food production program. The Inspection and Sale Act of Can- ada requires that every ball of binder' twine -for sale be labelled with the name of the -dealer and the number of feet per pound. No shortages were found in 1942 in the 104 lots tested by tbe''Dominion Department of •Agricue ture examiners, .and all the lots were of Canadian manufacture and of good quality: * i ▪ *° Between early and late growing varieties of vegetables-: there is a striking 'difference (up to five times. as great) in vitamin and mineral con- tent.

The aim of the Record of Per- formance service for dairy cows is to assist and encourage breeders in the development of higher and more eco- nomical production, and to provide re- Iiable information for the guidance of both buyer and seller. In 1942, 27,221 cows were entered for test, an • in- crease of 2,779 over -the previous year. Before dealing with the considera- tion of the post war problems in - the production of food, there are a few, hard facts in connection with the far- mers of Canada that should not be overlooked, said Dr. E. S. Archibald, Director, ominion Experimental Farms Service, in a recent address to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Agriculture previouq to 1939 was not in a peosperous condition. It was the first to take the disastrous slump in prices during the depression, and most agricultural crops, unlike 'many industrial prodnets, had not recover- ed pre-depi•eesidn prices at the out- break of the present war. the farm- ers were thus at a distinct disadvant- age in their buying po*er over'a long period of ,years. True, this reacted very- unfavorably on industry -in Can- ada beeauie the , 750,000 Canadian farmers still constitute the best mar- ket for iriflustrial products but what was even more disastrous, however, were that the Farmer Was left in an exceedingWunfavorablo' position `or a considerable period of years, .-.tee. second show tel .. be. full a vi' g y Qi•1 .>R� d.

The average yields of oats and barley at the Dominion Ffrperi- mental Station, Kapuskasing, a Out., - llave been 31.3 bushels and 25.4 bush- - els per acre respectively. At first glance it would appear that oats are the more productive, but a brief el - amination of the yields reveals au entirely different picture. -' When the production is measured in pounds per acre the comparison is 1,064 pounds of oats and 1,219 pounds of barley. This is an increase of 14 per cent. in favor of barley. . But what of the, comparative feed- 3 ing value of these cereals? The- d2 gestible nutrients of barley are giv- en as 78.7 -pounds per 100 and of oats 71.5 pound* per 100. - The production of digestible nutri- ents at '1Kapuskasing has. been 959 pounds with barley and 761 pounds with oats; an increase in production of 26, per cent. in favor of barley. It -is clear from these -figures -that barley is the more productive drop, and that feed production could be in creased materially without enlarging the area under cereals, if •barley re-' placed oats on a considerable Part of the acreage. It should be borne in mind, how- ever: that barley is more exacting of conditions than oats, particularly as regards tilth and fertility of the soil and drainage. Satisfactory results may beexpected therefore only where the soil drainage is good and the seeds bed well prepared and fertile. . - Pimples and Blackheads• Relieved by this Medicinal Ointmeti Whether in bathing suit or evening dress you become very' much embar- rassed by skin affections and irritations on the shoulders and back as well as on the face.
