National Newspaper Week
• The Canadian Weekly News-
papers' Association is this year, as
in other years, celebrating a Nation-
al Newspaper Week; October 1st to
8th, because its members feel that
public service is a great privilege to
all in the newspaper profession.
Canada is a nation of free people,
because it has a free press, and the
Association wants to tie these two
fact together and present them to
the millions of newpaper readers in
this Nation.
- Looking back over the pastiew
,.years, many people have expressed
a, wonder- that a maniac like Hitler
could so control the people of Ger-
many and launch them into the
bloodiest war in history. A war
that brought his country to destruc-
tion. ,
The answer is simple. It happen-
ed because Hitler undertood one
thing: control the press and 'com-
munication facilities, and you can
control thought. When that is aeL
complished; the ways of democracy
can be destroyed at will.
Freedom and responsibility go
band in hand, and all individual free-
dom rests on the first—your right to
read and be informed. If your news-
paper is prevented hiany manner
from telling yOu what is going on,
not only in our own country, but in
the world, the people will" have be-
gun to loseL their individual free-
doms, and- all rights and privileges
that you now—enjoy as a Canadian
•'citizen will slowly, but nevertheless,
surely begin to erumble away. .'
. The press Of Canada is dedicated
to the work of keeping the freedom
.of the press and National. News-
paper Week gives the' press this op-
portunity to -rededicate its members
again to that purpose.
Grow More Feed
In early days when agriculture
was a much more sound industry
than it is today, farmers grew all
their grain right on their own farms,
harvested and threshed it, andstor-
ed it in their own granaries.
In recent years it has been claim-
ed that given freight assistance and
subsidies it is cheaper to buy feed
grain in the West,. and, possibly for
a time it was. But subsidies are out
now and transportation difficulties
have shown their, head. -Added to
this there has been 'a sudden jump
in feed prices. Now the live -stock
raiser is up against a situation which
he did not expect, and against which
he was not prepared to cope.
To grow more feed grain in On- -
tario would mean more -work for the
farmers, of of course. But at the same
time, by doing so, he would rid him-
self of a great deal of worry. To a
"great extent the fariner who pro-
duces his own feed supplies is mas-
ter of any situation. It is true he
has to contend with the labor situa-
tion,vand gamble with the weather,
but machinery and harvesting equip-
ment have advanced to the stage
"where they permit one man or a man
and a small boy, or even a girl, to
accomplish the work of two or three
men in a bygone day.
A Tuckersmith farmer last week.
said he was out of the bean growing
business for keeps. They are, he
said, a paying 'crop, but they tak'e,
too ninth work; they are late and run
into catchy weather; there are ;too
• many weeds. If, he said, he had put
his bean- land into barley, his gran-
ary would have been full. He would
have had enough feed of his own for
his hop and cattle, and all his fall
Woric would have been -finished.
Howover, with beans around the
our and a half dollar mark, not all
ersWill figore that way. But
the time, ,there. are a good
q?,
•nelf,;!4,0,eah
many Ontario farmers who have
come to the conclusion that more
feed grains will have to be grown in
the East, and eastern pastures will
have to be improved, and before an-
other seed time CORreS around they
are going to make plans for an ex-
tended programme of feed growing.
Slow Time Again
fftiRON
The people of this toWn and dis-
trict were able to enjoy the longest
week -end of the -year, because they
were given back last Sunday morn-
ing the hour's sleep that was stolen
from them when Daylight Saving
Time went into effect last spring.
Daylight Saving Time has always
been a bone of contention. And end-
less discussion over it has never
brought a satisfactory conclusion.
Most of the cities and towns are for
it. All of the farmers are against
it. • And with reason. But whether
people are for or against it, no one
is satisfied with the hit and miss -way
it goes into effect, and ends.
Would it not be better to reach a
decision once and for all,, whether
we Were to have fast time over the
whole of Ontario, -or noehave it at
all? But even if we can not all
• agree, at *least those that ' do adopt_
fast time could surely agree to all
start and stop, together.
When all is said and done, we can
monkey with the clocks as much as
we please, but all our efforts will not
stretch out the period of daylight we
• enjoy during the summer or any
' other months.
• Rural Mail Boxes
'In his report to the members of
the Huron County -Council at its
June session, County Engineer T. R.
Patterson stressed the danger to
traffic and the difficulty of snow-
plowing, caused by the present loca-
tion of rural mail boxes on our coun-
try roads.
• Since then we have noticed con-
siderable discussion in the papers of
other counties in the Province on
this matter, the latest being from
the Financial Post, which recently
said: "Rural mail boxes endanger
motor traffic and are unsightly.
f'Most highway users, including
the mail box owners themselves,
must agree that this criticism seems
justified. In many cages, boxes and
their posts come unpleasantly ,close
• to traffic and in no case are they
• decorative.
"Original regulations regarding
location were based on horse deliv-
ery, the boxes being mounted in such
a position that mail could be deliv-
ered or picked up without the cour-
ier dismounting, turning or having
to leave the right side of his route.
With motor delivery a little extra
Manoeuvring is not so important,
though even without this, as at
present, it has not a ays been easy
to secure appIijt for the job, and
after • tendering, many rued their
bargain. If delivery is to be -made ,
More difficult, especially during win-
ters of heavy snow, this 'free' .ser-
vice of the Dominion Government
may prove costlier.
"The important thing, however, is
that the present situation be review-
ed in the light of ,modern conditions.
After all it is about 40 years since
the system was first inaugurated in
Canada."

Be Sportsmen
There are possibly more wild
ducks in this district than there
have been for several years. That
js good news to sportsmen. But all
men are not sportsmen. "
We have corr to this conclusion
because complaints have come to' this
office that there is already a' good
deal of pre -season duck Shooting go- -
ing on in the country. The open sea-
• son in this district does not start un-
til October 4th, and this fact has been
given ample publicity and is perfect-
ly well known to Offendets.
But most of them appear to think
• they are smart, fellows in beating the
game laws, but they are only display-
ing the same mentality as any other,
law breakers.
All peoplp who are interested in
wild life c6nservation, and all other
decent people would like to see this
sort of thing stopped,. and to bring
that ,about, the authorities should
have the fullest support and co-op-
eration of the public,

Farmers May Plan Farm Repair.,Shop
Organizations which service farm
machinery, and tarmets themselves+
are now able to make post-war Plans,
says G. N. Denike, 'DO -photon Experi-

ment, which during wartime were

ited by the skill of the operator and
the time. and cost involved.
On theother hand, farm machinery
and equipment, in order to do the
more accurate and specialized jobs of
modern farming, is °becoming more
complicated and intricate. The swing
toward automotive type of d'esigning'
in most farm machinery, with Cm-
phaeis on hyd_•aulic and e'ectric con-

with high pressure seals, ands high
speed ibearings, must be met with a
thorough knowledge of what thio

farming communities, provision is
being made ,S6 that all the principal
machines ell: be overhauled by ex-
perts in special shops, where the
tools and the skill are available to
do a thorough job on each class of
equipment. Machines such as trac-
tors, combinee, seeding and tillage
equipment, haying and power har-
vesting equipment, are becoming in-

Wheat Excellent As Liyestock • Feed
It is not Many years since wheat
:was considered .unsuitable as ' a live-
stock feed. It was branded as a
starchy "hot" feed, too concentrated
to be fed with safety Gradually ex-
perimental evidence hat! reversed this
opinion and now wheat is accepted as
an excellent feed, when properly
handled. -
Wheat compares favorably in 'Chem-
ical analysis with the ether feed
grains, being lower in fibre and high-
er in protein then either barley or
oats, It is, like these other grains,
low in minerals', vitamins and. too low
in protein 'to ^serve as a complete
feed. Proper supplementation is es
sential if full efficiency is to, 'be ob-
tained.
The nutritive excellence of wheat
has been borne out in exacting nfeede
ing trials conducted at the Dominion
Experimental Station, Lacombe, 'Al-
berta, and ,at other experimental sta-
tions, says H. T. Fredeen of the La-
combe Station. When single- grains
were fed, :pigs made the fares: atm
most efficient gains on wheat,' while
barley ranked second and oats third.
The most economical gains, however,
were obtained, by feeding a mixture
of the three grains, which emphasiz-
es the importance of feeding a' pio-
perly balanced ration.
Wheat also proved more palatable
than these other grains, and in var-
ious "free ehoice"- experiments pigs
demonstrated a decided preference.
for wheat. However, in carcass qual-
ity, wheat -fed hog a Were slightly ov•
erfinished as compared with barley -
fed hogs. This, too, le • overcome by
feeding a proper mietere, of grain
and by adequate supplementation.
What is proper 'supplementatioe?
For sine, skim milk or butter nillk
fed along with the 'grain at the rate
of two to three pounds of !OVA per
pound of grain or a commercial sup-
plement" fed at the rate recommend-
ed by the manufacturer, will supply
