The fact that ordering the baby COM chicks ,becomes an annual discus- sion in many, farm households would indicate that perhaps the answer depends upon individual circumstances. �^ However, there are certain fun- damental facts which should in- fluence the chick buyer's final de- cision. For instance, what broody ing facilities are available. In or- der that chicks can be brooded successfully, it is necessary that they be kept comfortable at all times. That means for winter brooding, a well constructed col- ony house or permanent building, which contains one or more 'broody er stoves in order to maintain the correct temperature within the house. Another important point: What is the source of revenue from the poultry kept on the farm? Is it derived from eggs or poultry meat or both? What are the market trends in respect to prices during the last few years? Egg prices tend to rise during the late sum- mer and reach their peak during November. In order to have your pullets laying large eggs early in the Fall and to take full advant- age of the price rise, the chicks should be hatched during Janu- ary, February or March. The poul- try meat business is becoming more specialized every day. The deciding factor as to when the fu- ture meat birds should be started would seem to depend upon whe- ther the farmer is catering to an all -year trade or a specialized sea- sonal business such ae. the sum- mer tourists. The distribution of labor during all the seasons in the year would seem to be an important factor on most farms. Generally. speaking there is more time available to look after the chicks prior to the, spring seeding season. Mao it is usually easier to maintain an even temperature when the weather is continually cold, , than during the changeable spring period. The chick buyer, however, should keep in mind that If the chicks are started early in the season that it may be necessary to keep the birds indoors until they are three months of age. depending on the dale of hatch. and the first signs of warmer weather. The chicks will grow but the house cannot ex- pand and after the chicks are eight .weeks of age they will require double the amount of space. What date to start the brooding operations would appear to be a controversial subject. Tlie final de- cision„ which should be based on the proper valuation of all the im- portant factors concerned, must bre made by the chick buyer himself. On the average farm, where proper brooding facilities are available,; ize'r and copper in a pesticide.

That is probably why grandmother grew better house plants than Many of us, do today _ter rooms were cooler at night. Night temperatures should 'be 60 degrees or lower, so it is worth moving a plant to the coolest room in the house at night. The excep- tion to this is the Poinsettia which likes warm nights, never below 60 degrees, • and does not relish sud- den changes of temperature. . • A plant needs water when the soil has dried out so that it crumbles in the hand. Most planta are best watered by standing the pot for a few minutes in a • shal- low pan or saucer containing an inch or two of water. The pot should be removed when the sur- face of the soil appears moist. The humidity in most homes. -is far too 'low for house plants— particularly cyclamens. Humidi- fiers or pans of water placed on radiators, will help. Standing the pots on saucers or trays of gravel which are kept moist is another way to provide humidity, but the pot itself must not stand in water. Pyrethrum or rotenone sprays will kill aphirs, white flies and redapidermites. or nicotine sul- phate may •be used. Be careful to avoid leaving house plants in a draught, and if You use cooking gas, remember that all plants are most susceptible to any unburned gas which es- capes into the air.

Red Clover Seed in Good Supply Red clover seed production in Canada in 19.18 was the largest in at least 20 years. Latest estimates place the crop at approximately 11.5 million pounds. This is more than double the 1947 crop and the 11 -year 1937-47 average. The re- cord crop is largely attributed to production in Ontario, 'where over seven million pounds was produc- ed. During recent years consider- able interest in growing red clover seed has developed in Western Canada and particularly in Alber- ta. The crop in that province in 1948 amounted to at least two mil- lion pounds. All production in Western Canada, with the excep- tion of some produced in certain areas of British Columbia, is the single -cut type 'of the Altaswede strain, commonly known, in many parts of Canada as the mammoth type. Most of the crop grown in Eastern Canada on the other hand is thecommon or double -cut type. Foiled by Legal Grammar Stranger indeed than fiction are the facts about the legacy of Caleb Diplock. the miser of Eastbourne, whose will has been in litigation before. the English courts since 1939. Diplock didn't "care a fig" for his relatives and when he died in 1936 his money went to charity. A grand -daughter in Australia, however, had other ideas and chal- lenged the will. setting off a chain of actions unique in British law, which are outlined in a recent is- sue of the Canadian Bar Review. To -date the will has given rise to 123 separate actions, 20 of which have been heard by the courts. It ba? been twice before the Court of Appeal and once be- fore the House of Lords, where it must go a Ge'cond, time. It has run head on into Britain's Nation- al Health Service Act, and brought two executors to .their - deaths through wol/,>r. All this trouble arose because of a seeming'y trifling legal slip in ,the wording of the will — the use of the word "or" instead of "and." The history of the Diplock fam- ily began 150 years ago with.David, Diplock of Sevington, Sussex. Mar- ried' twice, he begat 31 children of whom, some emigrated to- the Do- minions, and some remained in Sussex. Only one of hisbrood seems to have improved his world= ly condition. Starting as a "gentle- man's , gentleman" he acquired en- ough to open a Pub and buy a brewery. He left $300,000 to Ms, three children, the eldest of who was Caleb. Caleb sold the family business and took up the "profession of miser, boosting his share of the patrimony to over $2,000,000. Sortie time 'before his death he heed, heart attack which .led him to have. his lawyer draw up his will. He wanted no money to go to his re- lations. He decided It should all go to charity, but could not make up his mind which charities should re- ceive it. So he left it to the ex- ecutors secutors to make the choice — or be thought he did. But the law has many pitfalls. Into one of these Caleb's lawyer, in drawing the will on these in- structions, fell headlong. He was named as one of the executors, and had Caleb leave his residue to be divided among "such charitable institutions or charitable or bene- volent object or objects as his ex- ecutors might in their absolute dis- cretion select." The two words "or benevolent" started off the legal chain reaction. By saying "or" instead of "and" the lawyer gave to the executors the option 'of giving the money to benevolences or to charity.

They have now won a vic- tory before the Court of Appeal that is nearly complete unless the, Lords reverse the decision; which means that the charities, if they still exist, will have to pay back the monies they received. A coin - promise was arrived at with the executors, two of whom have died of worry, for an amount recover- able from them for having wrong- fully paid out the bequests in the first place. But most of the charities were Canadian farmers use about four million pounds of red clover seed annually, provided it is readily available and the price is' not out of line with other similar legume seeds. The traditional export mar- ket for Canadian red clover seed is the United Kingdom and some western Europe countries. Norm- ally, Canada's surplus of red clov- er seed, recognized as being hardy and superior is exported to those areas. However, import restric- tions caused by exchange difficul- ties have limited sales to the Unit- ed Kingdon and Europe. While the United. States is usually self- sufficient in red clover seed, size- able quantities of Canadian grown red clover seed have been export- ed xported to that country during recent months. With plenty of good quality red clover seed available for seeding next spring, farmers. should take advantage of the opportunity to make greater use of this valuable legume crop. Lions Hear Appreciation of Gifts More appropriate weather for constructing an outdoor rink fin the Lions Park is an important New Year's wish of the members of Bayfield Lions Club. The Club held its regular dinner meetjng in The Little Inn with nearly a 140' per cent attendance and President G. Turner in charge. Due to un- favorable weather, Deputy Dis- trict Governor Mel.

At the time of his death Caleb's $2,000,000 will made quite a sen- sation in the British papers, which played up the angle of his notor- ious miserliness. The story caught on and was reproduced in many parts of the world, including a newspaper ih. New South Wales, Australia. It was noticed by one of Caleb's Australian cousins, an injured miner living on a small pension. He did nothing. but his grand- daughter, a girl of determined character, decided to try to get something for Grandpa, ,and ap- pealed to the executors—with no success. Meantime the executors had paid out $800 000. The grand- daughter made the rounds of local lawyers, most of whom thought the will water -tight, until a Melbourne lawyer spotted the use of the word "or" in place of "and." He said the will was void for uncertainty, that the next-of-kin, including Grandpa were entitled to the mon- ey, and took up the case. The legal fight had to be won on two grounds: that the bequests were void, and that the charities, Which received the money were bound: to pay it back. The lira point was gained! after carrying' the case up through the courts t'o' the Lords.
