save manpower and" to' screed open'-'
«tions. A machine can do this on-
ly; if it is in good condition anti
operated intelligently. Machinery
in bad shape and poorly operated
can lose time and require more
labor than it saves,„ says. W. S.
Richardson, Dominion Experimen-
tal` Station, Lennoxville, Que.
NOW that the season for work on
thejand is nearly over, it is time
to Make- sure that the farm imple-
ments are stored properly for the
winter. An elaboratebuilding is
not necessary. A simple 'structure"
that will protect them from sun,
rain and snow is sufficient. Al-
though machinery has been, and
can be stored satisfactorily on barn
floors and other odd corners of
buildings, it is more handy and
safer to have a separate imple-
ment shed some distance from the
other buildings. It reduces the
pre hazard and machinery is more
likely tof-be ,,put under cover as
soon as the job'ig done.
Before storing, there are certain
precautions to take and • certain
things to do if the implements are
tc, come out in the spring ready
for .work. All metal parts which
conte in contact with the soil' and
are polished by this action, require
a coaling of grease or oil to pre-
vent rust. Old crankcase oil may
be used. Anybody who has start-
ed to plow in the spring with a
rusty mouldboard can appreciate
the value of this.
Fertilizerdistributors need spe-
cial care. All fertilizer should be
removed, the machine washed and
allowed to ,dry and then all metal
parts covered with grease or oil.
Owing to the action of the fer-
tilizer in attracting moisture these
machines are short-lived under
good conditions, but one or two
years' neglect will ruin them.
It is good practice to set up on
blocks all machinery equipped
with rubber tires, and to see that
the tires are all correctly inflated.
This will prolong the life of'the
tires and is becoming more im-
portant as so many machines now
travel on rubber.
If the tractor is being put in
storage be sure that the cooling
system is completely drained and
that a little oil is placed in each
cylinder.
Before putting the machinery
away„ look it over for weak or
broken parts and order replace-
ments as soon as possible so that
there will be no delay in the
spring. Repair parts are still dif-
ficult to get and too often ma-
chines are tied up at the busy sea-
son waiting for delivery of these
parts.
WALTON
Thursday evening last week in
the Community Hall„ Walton,
marked the occasion of a delight-
ful party, when neighbors and
friends of Mr. and Mrs,. William
Wilbee gathered to honor them
and present them with a purse of
money. Glenn Corlett read the
address, while Mrs. Corlett made
the presentation. Dancing to Wil -
bee's orchestra was enjoyed dur-
ing the evening.
What, No Christmas Tree?
What is Christmas without a
tree? That's what a lot of people
say who live in the warmer climes
of the Caribbean Wands and in
Central American Countries. And
they do something about it, tor
inspectors of the Plant Protection
Division, Dominion Department of
Agriculture have recently inspect-
ed 30,662 Christmas trees shipped
by a Maritime Company to destina-
trone in those areas.
The market in southern coun-
tries is limited to those which'have
a good sprinkling of former north-
erners residing there,,reports A.
E. McCollom, the Division's Super-
vising Inspector. Such people like
to celebrate Christmas with a tree
as they did in their more norther-
ly homes. Over the years, too,
some of the natives working for
these people have copied the hab-
its of their employers, and they
and their friends have trees in
their homes at Christmas. The
trees are trimmed by the natives
in much the same way as is done
by families in Canada.
Unfortunately a great increase
in the distribution of this symbol
of Christmas in these southern ar-
eas may not be possible. Santa
Claus, his sleigh and reindeers un-
fortunately are symbolic too, and
cannot make delivery; high ocean
freight rates and delivery charges,
are actual—they add greatly to the
cost of the tree to the user.
In An Eggshell
Eggs are important in- a well -
lanced diet. They are a source
of protein which promotes growth
and aids in the building and re-
pair of muscles. The yolk con-
tains iron which Is vital for the
blood, and vitamins which make
healthy skin and eyes and stimu-
late growth and well-being.

epoly of ;bantling, c,. R. Carlie ey,
president of The 13ozninion Ha*,
told shareholders at the annual
'meeting in Toronto oo "Wednesday
Analy +ing the rate on bank
stocks, •Mr, •Carlisle compared the
10 per cent received •by Dominion
Bauk shareholders on the par va-
lue of their shares' with the actual
3.87 per cent return on the share-
holders' total investment and 4 per
cent an the current market value
of the shares. "Can anyone fairly
pr justly claim that the sharehold•.
er has been receiving unduly high
and unjust returns?" he asked.
Mr. Carlisle detailed the safe-
guards set up by legislation gov-
erning the chartered banks, which
1*tv more comprehensive and exact-
ing than that governing commer-
cial 'companies, supplemented by
the hanks' own auditing and in-
spection system. "The Bank of
Canada and the chartered or trad-
ing )tanks give Canada a banking
system surpassed by that -of no
other country," he' said. The char-
tered banks' stocks were widely
distributed, directors were chosen
from different sections. and class-
es, and the banks were not sub'
ject to political direction.
Mr. Carlisle pointed out the need
in Canada for the branch banking
service the chartered banks sup-
ply, and their national and inter-
national service. During the war,
they gave the Government every
support, sometimes without re-
muneration, their holdings of Gov-
ernment securities reaching $3,609
millions at interest rates ranging
as low as .36 per cent.
While banking costs had in-
creased, The Dominion Bank had
for a period of nine years from the
beginning of the war only charged'
the average rates to its customers,
this having in part been made pos-
sible by increased volume of busi-
ness and rapid turnover, said Mr.
Carlisle. "The percentage of net
-'profit earned on the total funds
employed by this bank -is only
three -tenths of one per cent. If
high costs continue, or they in-
'rease, these will necessarily be
reflected in increased operational
charges," he predicted.
Purchases Of Farm Machinery Up
Total sales to Canadian farm-
ers of new farm machinery and
equipment have been increasing
from year. to year since 1943. In
1947 sales at retail values amount-
ed to $146.6 million, more than
three times the dollar value in
1939. Sales of repair parts at re-
pair parts at retail value in 1947
totalled $30 million,
It is estimated that the available_
supply of farm equipment in 1948
will be about 25 per cent greater
than in 1947.
Imports of tractors for the first
eight months of 1948, including
non-farm and garden tractors, have
been 34 per cent higher than in
the same period of 1947. Allowing
for the normal seasonal reduction
in tractor imports for the last four
months 01 the year and for non-
farm and garden tractors, the sup-
ply of farm tractors in 11948 may
approximate 43,000 units, as com-
pared with some 33,000 units in
1947, an increase of 30 per cent.,
Protect Yourself
Many people accept winterrids
as inevitable and unimportant.
But colds can be dangerous, They
may lead to bronchitis, pneumonia
or sinusitis. Sound physical con-
dition helps ward off colds. This
winter protect yourself by dress-
ing and eating properly, avoiding
sudden drafts and close, stuffy
rooms.
