Gobble 'Hoppers
During the early fall months when.
grasshoppers are sluggish and other
Reeds are scarce, turkey raisers in
districts.. where the insects are num-
erous should take precautions to pro-
tect their birds from Consuming large
quantitiesthat may be injurious. A
recent report cites heavy losses in a
turkey Sock due to grasshopper gorg-
ing. Post-mortem examination show-
ed that the dry scratchy legs of the
grasshoppers Caused intense inflam-
mation of the 'bowels and even punc-
tured the walls of the intestines.
Within limits, grasshoppers are good
protein feed. However, during the
early fall, turkey Socks should be
given a heavy .mash feeding in the
early, morning in the areas where
grasshoppers are over -plentiful.

When a Horse Founders
When horses founder, they Mani-
fest sudden stiffness, lameness and a
tendency to place their forefeet out
in front, so that they rest on their
heels, with the hind feet placed
somewhat forward under the body.
This condition js due to blood con-
gestion in the feet, say veterinary
authorities, and requires prompt treat-
ment if permanent damage is to 'be
prevented. First aid measure3 re-
commended are standing the horse in
running water or pouring cool, water
over the feet, or applying finely-
crushed ice packs to the feet. A
veterinarian should take charge of
the case -as soon as possible, because
the speed with which remedial meas-
ures can be applied largely affects
the extent of recovery.

• Dogs in Pastures
Keep dogs out of sheep pastures
is a suggestion offered by veterinary
authorities to sheep raisers. The rea-
son isthat dogs are frequently car-
riers of tapeworms and can ,bring
the worm eggs into pastures, where
they will be picked up by grazing
sheep. Recently at one place in the
United States, 164 sheep out of 429
were condemned by government meat
inspectors because of tapeworm cysts.
In checking, it was foundthat the
infestation had been carried to the
sheep pasture by dogs. When dogs
are used for herding sheep they
should be periodically examined by
a veterinarian to make sure that
they are free from theses parasites.

announced that it will buy for export
alsike clover seed at 430.00 per hun-
dred pounds. It established this
price having in mind the recent rais-
ing of the • alsike ceiling and the need
to meet continued domestin and in-
creased export demand.
This price of $36 a hundredweight
is .paid to seed exporters on the basis -
of 98 per cent purity, 90 per cent
germination, not more than one-half
of one per cent weeds, freight paid
to Atlantic seaboard, for all alsike
clover seed offered the Board for ex-
port in excess of domestic require-
ments.
In 1943, the Special Products Board
was authorized to purchase certain
specified forage crop seeds and to
become their sole exporter. This
action was taken to protect domestic
supplies and to assure a fair distri-
bution amongst growers of any pro-
fits resulting from export sales, as
the prices offered in the United
States were higher than the Cana-
dian prices. The Board was also
authorized to distribute to the pro-
ducers, • on the basis of participation
certificates, any profits that might
accrue from its transactions.. The
same policy will be followed this
year' and• the Seed Export Office at
Lindsay, Ontario, will again purchase,
from seedsmen who normally export
seed 'their surplus stocks of alsike
clover.

Food Conditions Bad in Europe
in French cities, the meat shortage
is worse than at arty time during the
last five years. In 1939 the average
per capita consumption was 96 pounds
per person; in 1044-45 it was 17
pounds, according to the Combined
Food Board.
The ration at present is one-tenth
of a pound per week, equal to one
thins slice of boiled ham, "if you can
get it."
The consumption of meat has drop-
ped from pre-war levels as follows:
Beef and mutton, 117,000 tons to 5,000
tons; pork, from 45,000 tons to 16,000
tons; fish, from 51,000 -tons to 21,000
tons; poultry, from 22,000 tons to
less than 2,000. Meat is $10.00 per
pound on the black market.

To All flood Donors
Thank You
2,347,000 blood donations were made in Canada, 1,423,000 in
Ontario, through the volunteer B od Donor Service of the
Canadian Red Cross Society since first clinics were estab-
lished in January, 1940. The lives of hundreds in the army, the
navy and the air force were saved through this service.
This record was only made possible through your donations of
blood. We wish to thank you sincerely for your generous help
at a time when the need was so great. Special thanks are also
given to the doctors, nurses, transport drivers and all other
volunteers who gave so generously of their time and talents,
The Volunteer, Blood Donor Service is now closed as a war
measure. A new challenge is presented, however, for many
deaths occur in Canadian hospitals each year for lack of an
adequate transfusion service.
To meet this need, the Red Cross is making a survey with a view
to providing all Canadian hospitals with blood for transfusion
purposes. To our thanks, then, we add an invitation to help
us as we continue our humanitarian work. When the time
comes, and plans are ready, announcements will be duly made.

Dahlias Ten Feet Tall
Last week we saw dahlias growing
ten feet high at the home of C. W.
Leonhardt at the east end of town.
And there were several plants of this
height massed with gorgeous bloom
of medium size and beautiful varied
colorings. They looked like . the ball
type of dahlias, with . the petals curl-
ed back and very -uniform. There
were some lovely geraniums in the
beds surrounding the house, too, just
full of bloom. The Leonhardts must
know the art of growing bigger and
better flowers —Mitchell Advocate.

STORAGE
STOCKS DOWN

meat rationing, figures on cold stor--

Frenchman lack food for ordinary
health. Under Nazi occupation France
lost 2,000,000 ,head of cattle, and it
will take four years at least to build
the herds to their pre-war level.
Where 200,000 „tons of cheese were
manufactured in 1938, only 34,000
tons were produced in 1944. Where
there were 6,200 million eggs (not
eggs by the dozen) produced in 1938,
there were 726 million in 1944, and
where the 'production of fish before
the war amounted to from 300,000 to
400,000 tons per year, the production
last year was only 26,000 tons.
in the Netherlands, the live weight
of hogs is 15 per cent of pre-war
days. About two-thirds of the normal
dairy cattle are on hand. Feed is
needed, also fertilizer to step up pro-
duction. Given a break, it is•believed
that the Netherlands will be reason-
ably
easonably self-sustaining in 1946. The
horsepower situation is serious: Dur-
ing the war it was believed to be
patriotic to hold back production,
and this hold -back developed a black-
market. Now it is necessary for a
changeover so that products may be
equitably' distributed.
The people of Norway, it is report-
ed, are not too badly off for the next
two or three months, but are faced
with a difficult winter.
The Greeks have experienced sev-
ere suffering. Their nutritional stan-
dards have been on a very low level.
Transportation facilities have been
ruined, and their agricultural produc-
tion is down to 25 per cent of pre-
war. They have lost 65 per cent of
their sheep. 50 per cent of their
horses and 90 per, cent of their hogs
and poultry.
In Belgium, cattle, hog and sheep
populations have been drastically
reduced and the weight lowered.
Feeding stuffs. particularly proteinls,
are needed.
Czechoslovakia's crop production is
low and live stock much below pre-
war levels.
The Danish hog supply is reported
at 60 per cfent of pre-war and the
cattle population ,fairly well main-
tained; poultry down; farmers are in
need i6f feeding stuffs.

THAT JACK WROTE....
this is the Branch Bank where Jack keeps his money—
so h\e'does not have to keep his savings at home with the
danger of loss, fire, or theft, and v n pay bills safely and
conveniently by cheque.
this is the Teller in a branch of a different bank in another
city, who made sure that the man who presented the
cheque was really the man Jack intended to pay. Then
the amount of the cheque was added to that man's deposit
account.
this is the Clearing House maintained by the banks so
that customers' cheques can be exchanged and the banks
can settle their accounts with one another every day.
From here, Jack's cheque was sent to the clearing de-
partment of his own bank, and from there to the brancb
where Jack keeps his account.
this is the Ledger -Keeper who made sure that the sig-
nature was really Jack's. Then he debited Jack's account.
The amount is entered in Jack's passbook next time he
comes in, so he always knows exactly where he stands.
This is a sketchy outline of what happens when you pay an out -of --town bill by
A ...
cheque.' Many people pay their large local bills that way too. To be able to pay
by cheque is a tremendous convenience which costs you little or nothing.
Banks are the bookkeepers for millions of -our fellow -Canadians.
