Harrow, Ont,
If it, were :possible in Canada to
keep birds on }range outside in . direct
sunlight all the year, artjfioial light
would not be a factor of so much
• i"mportance. When, however, it is
necessary to confine the birds to the
house for about six months of the
year the Use of a tificial light during
the short dull w ftter days is a sound
and helpful practice, he emphasizes.
There are several functions associ-
ated with the beneficial use of lights
in the hen house that are not gen-
erally recognized•. fusing lights to in-
crease egg oduction has ;long been
a sound, conomieal practice with the
progressive poultryman, generally un-
der the impression that the longer
feuding period allows for a greater
consiamption of .food and the greater
yield of eggs is, the natural conse-
quence.
Without doubt the increase in the
amount of .feed consumed is a con-
tributing and important factor in
increasing the egg yield but the true
function of the light is believed to
be the stimulating effect that it has
on certain glands that play their part
in the process of ovulation and more.
eggs are laid and p. greater appetite
develops as a resultof this stimulus.

During the Sail, winter and early
spring the .active feeding period
shculd'°be extended by the lighting to
about 14 hours each day. Longer per-
iods are .likely to.offset the advant-
ages to •some extent. It has been
found by research, at the Experimen-
tal • Station at Harrow' that.longer
periods had a tendency to increase
broodiness. As a general rule two
60 -watt lights are required for 400
square feet of floor space and a're-
liable time clock with timing resist-
ance should be used to ensure regu-
lar intervals off roosting and feeding.

Awnless Brome Grass For Hay a
Pasture
While awnless brome grass is n
a new grass in Canada it is only du
ing the past decade that its value fo
hay, and pasture under Eastern Can
dian conditions has been fully reco
nized, says Dr, T. M. Stevenson, D
minion Agroetologist, Dominion E
perimental Farm, Ottawa.
It was almost half a century ag
—1897—that the Experimental Farm
Branch, Dominion Department of A
riculture, secured the first lots o
awnless brome grass seed from Rus
sin. As a result of tests conducte
at that time it ,quickly became th
most popular cultivated hay and pas
ture grass in.Western Canada, a posi
tion which is still holds except i
the very driest areas.
Awnless brome grass excels i
hardiness and drought. resistance. I
is relished, either as hay or ,pasture
by all types of live stock, and rank
high in nutritive value. On the- oth
er hand this grass possesses'two char
acteristics which have tended to- re
strict its use. First is the tendenc
for brome toe.ireach a so-called "sod
bound" condition resulting in great!
reduced yields after two to five years
Experience has shown' that this con
dition does not develop en the
biome is sown in mixture with alfal-
fa or some other legume. sec-
ond characteristic is, the possession
of, vigorous underground root stocks
which make it relatively difficult to
eradicate under certain conditions.
However, experienced brome grass
growers have learned to eradicate
this grass with little difficulty.
Growers inexperienced in` the prb-
duetion of brome grass may find some
difficulty in establishing stands of it.
The seeds are large and light. They
will not flow through the grass seed
attachment of most seed drills. On
the other hand broadcast seedings
are usually not successful unless fol-
lowed by some treatment which will
cover the seeds lightly and firm the
soil about them. The eulti-packer has
been used successfully for this. pur-
pose .on the lighter soil types. An-
other method is to mix the grass seed
with the nurse crop seed and `sow
the mixture through the grain box
of the seed drill. The danger in this
method is over -deep seeding. Brome
seedlings, will rarely emerge through
more than one inch of sone- one-half
inch depth is recommended. Packing
the land before sowing helps to pre-
vent deep seeding.

Dairy Cattle From Canada to Mexico
Believed to be the largest single
shipment of. Canadian dairy cattle
ever sold to Mexico, 22 carloads con-
taining 314 head have crossed the
Canadian border on their journey
south, the Department of Trade and
Commerce and • Agriculture have an-
nounced joietly.
The shipment is made up of'thirty-
five pure-bred Holsteins from Prince
Edward Island, 16 pure bred Guern-
•seys,' and 16 pure-bred Jerseys from
Nova Scotia, 16 pure-brey Ayrshires
from Madawaska County, New Bruns-
wick, 195 grade Holstein in -calf heif-
ers and 36 open heifers from all parts
of the Maritime Provinces.
The cattle were brow t direct from
17'2 Maritime farmers, after being
selected by Dominion and Provincial
ricultural officials and private buy-
s under the direction of W. i' Day-

of • t kei address.,by 'M i50. H. Carlisle,'
peesid,ent of The Doi iinion Bank, to
the ehareholdeee at40- annual meet-
ing in Tctron'to on December 12th.
There was no magic Wand, said Mr.
Carlisle by which the ,colossal needs
of a world ravaged •by:: war could be
met and a paradise instantly attain-
ed. We had to. face, facts.
Referring to Canad'a's indebtedness,
totalling $1,238 per capita, he said:
`'eThe liquidation of Canada's debt,
the carrying charges on the indebted-
ness and the cost of Government in
its entirety ie the direct responsibil-
ity and obligation of each citizen or
resident of Canada. You have given
to Government an unlilUited power of
attorney as to asseseaient and expen-
diture. Therefore, you` undoubtedly
have a direct and vital interest in
Government expenditure and in the
obligations Government creates for
you."
Productior was a main source of
employment and revenue, and the un-
avoidable excessive cost of wartime
prnduttion was reflected in our in-
debtedness. Wartime costs must be
reduced to avoid increasing debt and
incurring Inflation.
Greater efforts were needed to
maintain exports, at a volume. essen-
tial for moderate stability arid pros-
I'erity. Our goods had to" be com-
petitive, and there was a limit to the
loans and donations we could m ke
to other countries to increase their
purchasing power. w
"There is a great and constant de-
mand upon Government to make this
or that expenditure, whether it is es-
sential or non-essential; or whether
we can afford it or not," .he declared.
"Our present financial pesition neces-
sitates a figid economy. "What we
have been doing, and are doing," he
declared,' "is really subsidizing idle-
ness.
"There always have been periods
'of unavoidable unemployment," he
continued. "They will be 'recurrent
The only way to mitigate them is
'through Government,- industry and
labor wprking for a common purpose,
for a greater economy and expansion
of trade. This work is not being
done."
Our production is• beitiev retarded or
suspended, thousands tltoVrn out of
work, while domestic markets were
depleted of merchandise land industry
deprived of equipment and replace-
ments. "All wars are destructive," he
said, "including industrial -wars. The
time has arrived when peae@-espould,
displace war."
Mr. Robert Rae, the General Man-
ager, in analyzing the financial state-
ment for the year, pointed to assets
exceeding $300.000,q,00, profits of
$1,080,000 after Dominion. taxes' of
$842,000, and $93,000 added. to profit
and loss account compared with
$105,000 the 'previous year. Public
deposits, up $29,479,000, were $263,-
834,000; , quick assets, $227,076,000
equalled 80 per cent. of public liabili-
ties compored with 77.46 per cent. the
previous year. Cash assets, $56,035,-
600, were 19.78 per cent, of liabilities.
'Investments totalled $163.677,000. CaIP
and short loans in Canada increased
by $2,471,000, those elsewhere, at
$3,498,000, were virtually unchanged.
Current ,loans in Canada were $65,--
421,000, about the same as the pre-
vioee year.
Bungalows From Scrap
Five great, United Kingdom bomber
factories are now turning 'out the
world's finest prefabricated. houses.
This was revealed recently by Mr,
Arthur Woodburn, Parliamentary Sec-
retary of the Ministry of Aircraft
Production. Mr. Woodburn who was
opening the first aluminium, house
erected in Blackpool, England, said:
Beating bombers into bungalows is
the modern version of turning swords
into ploughshares. Fifty thousand
bungalows will be produced in the
United Kingdom in the next yea,- or
two from a thousand tons of aluluin-
ium scrap recovered from obrol>t'
a.x rcraft.
of seed sold in Canada must be sold
on the graded basis.
Discriminating buyers ask for the
top grades, such as Registered Num-
ber One, Certified Nutriber One, and
Number One seed, It pays to buy
seed by grade as it is" graded for
,germination, freedom from weer
seeds and freedom from seeds• of
other cultivated plants and inert mat-
ter.

standards established for each grade

We report that we have examined the above condensed Balance Sheet as at October
31st, 1945, and compared it with the books at Head.Oil-ice and with the certified returns
from the Branches. We have examined the cash, and the securities representing the
Bank's investments, held at Head Office and certain of the larger Branches as at October
31st. 1945, and in addition we examined the cash and the sees held at certain of
the iniportant'Brancbes during the year. We have obtained al the information and
explanations that we have required, and in our opinion the transactions of the Bank
which have come under our notice have been within the powers of the Bank.
In our opinion the Balance Sheet disdoses the true condition of the Bank and is as
shown by the books of the Bank. ,
