L. Kennet= Ontario Minister of Agriculture speak in CARDNO HALL Seaforth Sat. FEBRUARY 7th - 2 p. m.

Mr. Oliver launched into an attack upon the Drew Government's legisla- tion affecting agriculture' and more Particularly the taking over by his ad- rainistratioo of the Toronto stock- yards in order, it was'aaid at the time to put a stop to manipulation and speculation and to assure fair prices. "The yards were taken over sure enough and are now operating at a questionable advantage to the tax- payer of this province," Mr. Oliver said. "You can judge for yourself whether speculation and manipulation has been stopped. "The prices farmers get today in- sofar as they are better than before are due to the policies of the Liberal administration at Ottawa and the bonuses established by the former Liberal administration at Queen's Park. "The present Conservative Govern- ment is living up to the record of performance with regard to agricul- ture which has the practise of its predecessors the Henry and Ferguson regimes which coasted, along ground prepared by previous administrations and basked in the sunshine of a Lib- eral Government at Ottawa, sympa- thetic to the interests of agriculture." The Liberal leader quoted from an editorial in the Rural Co-operator as follows: "The Government agricul- tural record as against Mr. Drew's promises is a sorry one. You prom- ised this and you promised that but you haven't half dorfe this and you haven't touched that."'

YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OE A SOW'S EAR UST FE • vB YOi 1.1 In addition to studying both linseed and fibre flax for its fibre and tow content, research at the Dominion Department of Agriculture Pilot Flax Mill, Portlage la Prairie, Man., is di- rected toward possible new uses for the by-products. The material re- maining after the separation of seed and fibre is called skives. It consists of the woody core of the flax plant, the weeds, and the chaff from leaves and seed bolls, says J. C. Woodward, the chemist at the mill. It also con- tains ontains varying amounts of short and broken fibre. The shive is uniform in length to the extent that it has been broken into short lengths by the breaking equipment. Shives make about 75 per cent of the deseeded straw after processing for water or dew retted ,fibre or for paper stock, and 50 per cent if mak- ing upholstery tow. Investigations so. far show that the shives have a va- lue as livestock litter, for fuel, and as a possible constituent of a panel- ling board. Baled shives are being marketed from an eastern flax mill as poultry and dairy litter. It is generally agreed by farmers on the Portage Plains that shives are superior to wheat or oat - straw in absorption capacity and con- sequently keep the animals• cleaner and drier than straw. Shives are used as a partial source of heat at the Pilot Fibre Flax Mill, and as the only source of heat in a paper mill dehydrator .at West Kil- donan. Air dry shive, when subject- ed to heat and pressure, will form a dense compast briquette, which has approximately 89 per cent of the fuel value of w000 waste. Board ' from the original shives have decided tensile strength, are rigid, and may be sawed or nailed. They are too dense, however, to meet the specifications for insulating board, being about three times as heavy as ten -test. Present investiga- tions are concerned with water -proof- ing the board so that it may compete, as a panelling board, with such pro- ducts as masonite and arborite. Mental Mishaps Sickness of the mind is related to general physical condition, Canadian health authorities are out to squelch the belief that it is something shame- ful. Canada is now actively mobiliz- ing all the farces of medical science Perils of • Pyorrhoea Many people visiting the dentist' with an advanced case 'of pYorrhoett do so because they are '''shot feeling' well," or have some definite phyS104 complaint. They may have been seat" for a dental check-up by a physician' seeking the source of some diseased condition, and suspecting mouth in- fection. The Affect- of' neglected pyorrhoea' would be bad enough if limited to the mouth, It causes loss of as many teeth as decay, and, "unfortunately,.' many other illnessesare due to Py- orrhoea. However, Canadians can be assured that nearly every ease of pyorrhoea is preventable. "I have a wonderful new popular son," said the music publisher. "So what?" inquired the secretary.
