Always Market For Good Farm
Horses
Horse breeding, like every other in-
dustry, 'has had booms and depres-
sions, said F. H. Reed, -Superintend-
ent Dominion Experimental .• Station,
Lacombe, Alberta, in ,a. recent ad-
dress. For the last few years, mar-
kets for horses had been good; but at
present a depression seemed to be
in the offing: There were several -rea-
sons for that, the cehief reason being
shortage of labour. Another at►ore re-
cent difficulty in using horses had
been shortage of harness. Saddles
were almost entirely off the market.
Very little harness -was being manu-
factured
anefactured and all the old harness was
becoming worn and too weak for
young horses. On many farms there
was no one to break and train the
young horses. Farmer's' sons were in
the army and it was very difficult to
hire a man Who knew how to feed,
harness, hitch and 'drive horses pro-
perly.. Thorough grooming and fitting
of horses was almost a lost art: Dur-
ing thee war most of the great horse
shows in Canada had been discontin-
ued and young Canadians had missed
the wealth of information and inspir-
ation which made former generations
take an interest and pride in good
horses. •
However, there would' always be a
market on farms and in cities for
reallyfi-good 'horses, that was; sound
horses, showingbreeding,o
proper type
and high quality. There might; be an
increased demand in the over -run
countries for horses after the war,
provided proper shipping • facilities
could be obtained. For these reasons
farmers might be wise to breed a few
of their best brood mares ,to the best
stallions available.
Three Essentials in Rat 'Control
Rats are continually on the alert to
defeat the best laid plans any man
ever made to eliminate them, George
B. Lay, United States Fish and Wild-
life Service, told the .assembled'•mem-
bers of the Canadian Pest Control As-
sociation at -their recent convention
in Montreal. Ratsa said Mr. Lay, ap-
parently sever give up. Even though
they are excluded from many. a.build
ing, time and decay will aid them in
their never -ceasing efforts to gain en-
try. Because of this fact, re -inspec-
tion at regular intervals is vitally im-
portant.
To eliminate rats permanently, ex-
perience had shown that any proper-
ly balanced program for that purpose
must be based on three essentials,
regardIess of whether the program
was to be conducted` in a city or in
a rural area. These three essentials`
are: (1) a survey must be made ' to
ascertain the extent of the problem;..
(2 actual remedial measures must be
ta-ken td reduce the numbers of rats;._.
(3) in order to, keep the economic
losses and menace to health to a
- First Vegetables
Both vegetables and flowers divide
themselves into three main planting
groups. In the first are the hardy
things -those that one plants just OM
soon as the soil can be prepared, re-
gardless of the weather ahead. These
will stand Lots of frost and, in fact,
for best results they must make their
first growth, while the" Weather is still
cool and wet.
In the vegetable line these very
early things are garden -peas; tbe,hrst
onions,- carrots and • beets, radish,
s)iinach • and lettuce. Experienced
gardeners say that- these scan be
planted just as soon as the soil bars
worked up nicely" ands is no longer
muddy.
Spread Out Sowings
But they advise strongly against
planting them. all at once:, They make
a practice of •sowing beets, radish,
spinach, :beets, etc, at least three
times, about ten days - apart. By.
spreading over the solving in this way

ium variety. This sort of spreading
is particularly -d'isa'ble 'With, those

'Flower Groupings
Flower groupings are 'similar.. There.
are very hardy -things that sometimes
seed themselves; such as marigolds,
Cosmos, sweet'Deas, petunia seed,
pansies„'etc. ,One can plant them
just as ,soon as the ground is ready.
In
the intermediate category would
be nasturtiums, bedding plants- and,
at the far end of the list lilies, dah-
lias, - ,, gladiolus; .etc,,, semi -tropical
plants' that cannot stand frost at all.
The degree of hardiness, of course,
will be nientloned along with the var-
iety in any good Canadian •geed cata-
logue.

Wage Restrictions Order Relaxed G
In line with its announced policy o!
placing human welfare above purely
finandial considerations, the Domin-
ion Government bas slightly - relaxed
its wage' restrictions order. While
maintaining • the general policy of
wage ceilings workers charged With
violation of the order Will no longer
be deemedguilty unless ,they prove
innocence.
The accused• will be regarded as in-
nocent until proven guilty.
The .tnemendous handicap to wage
adjustment which required workers
seeking pay revision to prove that
their employer would not have to in-
crease prices in the event of .a pay
boost, has also been removed. Work-
ers' representatives contended that
this was an impossible condition, ea:
cept with the co-operation of the em.-
pioyer, which was deemed unliliely'in
almost every case. Now it will be
for the War Labor Board to decide
-upon wage increase , applications in
line with the general policy,; against
inflation and higher :prices which
higher rates might cause.
Canada Refuses Eirie .Request,
In the international realm,Prime
Minister King's announcement' that -
Canada had ;declined to mediate be-
tween the Irish Free State and ,Eri-
tain and the United. States, on the '
U.S. request that Eire expel Nazi.
&planets alleged to be engaged in
espionage, created widespread inter-
est. Mr. King made it plain that the
Dominion, whose main body of troops
is poised ready to fight in the cone
tinerital:invasion, stands with Britaixq,
and the United States against use of
Eire as a base for German spy activ-
ity.
Lest he be considered dogmatic or
unduly stern, thea,.parson had a way
of qualifying his pulpit utterances.
"My brethren," he said; reaching the
climax of his morning discourse, "it
you do not repent, so to sPeak, and
believe,, the' Word, as it were, you'll
be lost, in a measure." "
