of the road of the oncoming ear in
the dick of time.
"The American was to blame, cer-
tainly. But we do not think he should
be blamed so much as the two who
blocked highway traffic by driving a
steady 20 miles per hour. The man
at the head of the procession was a
selfish driver, a most dangerous
driver."
Another means of ensuring that
there are fewer accidents is suggest-
ed by the Lethbridge Herald, when
it says:
"Highway tragedies, like poison
ivy and sunburn, will always be with
us, human nature being what it is.
But the number of tragedies can be
greatly lessened if governments the
world over prevent physically and
mentally incapable people from get-
ting behind the wheel 'of a car.
"Everyone applying for a driver's
license should be examined, no mat-
ter whether he has had a license be-
fore or not. People who cannot read
or write and who therefore cannot
be expected to understand road signs
should be prohibited from driving.
All those applying for licenses should
be tested as to their driving ability
and as to their knowledge of the
rules of the road.
"Those who are known to be ac-
tive alcoholics or who have any oth-
er physical or mental impairments
should not be given driving privileg-
es. The rules should be strict and
they should be followed to the letter."
It is to be hoped that motorists
generally will do their part in pre-
venting a series of tragedies over
the holiday week -end.

Simple ° Faith
Sometimes a public man, prompted
by his surroundings of the moment,
makes a speech or issues a statement
which is remembered long after his
more formal utterances. Such was
'the case when Mr. Acheson, the Unit -
States Secretary of State, spoke
in his home town in Connecticut re-
icently.
He was proud of his community,
of the town in which he was born.
Aird briefly turning away from the
pressures to which, in his position,
jle is ever subjected, he recalled just
what his community meant to him.
"Out of this soil, I grew," he said.
g'It has entered into me and is a part
pf me as I am of it ... If these fam-
iliar objects and values" which sur-
round us here, and which give to this
place its character, are not real, then
nothing is real. If they are not val-
oid, then there is no validity in the
Ossumptions of our national life .. .
"In this country of ours there are
many home towns. They are not all
Mike in their traditions and outlook.
It is not necessary that they should
be. The glory of our country lies in
its ability to accept and reconcile di-
versity. Local differences in origin
are not clashing elements. They are
complementary and mutually sus-
taining in a way that is possible on-
ly in a free society .. .
"There are other parts of the world
Where the centralized power of the
state is an impressive crust, conceal-
ing a vast pulp of human misery and
helplessness. We spurn that type of
impressiveness. We rejoice in the
fact that the real elements of our
immense strength are present here,
where they are perhaps least con-
spicuous: at the foundations of our
Society, in the homes and the shaded

Holiday Driving
I The highways of Ontario during
the next week -end will carry what
probably may be the heaviest load of
'the summer. Canada's national holi-
day, Dominion Day, falls on Satur-
day. On Tuesday comes the Ameri-
4Can Fourth, when we can anticipate
thousands of visitors from the Unit-
ed States.
The necessity for increased care on
the part of every driver will be ap-
parent. Only through careful and
'cautious drivers can serious acci-
dents be avoided.
It is not always the fast driver
that is the basic cause of an accident.
'Che Fort William Times -Journal
tells 'of an incident that happens al-
together too frequently:
"On Sunday last a Thunder Bay

GROUP NAME
(Charlottetown Guardian)
The new name for the provinces
by the sea, suggested by Newfound-
land, viz., The Atlantic Provinces,
should meet with general approval.
The inclusion of the tenth province
does complicate matters, for few for
the next generation would think of
the Ancient Colony as one of the
Maritimes. The Atlantic Provinces
is both true and descriptive, and no
time should be lost in adopting it.

ON PLANTING TREES
(St. Marys Journal -Argus)
"Why ,Should I plant trees — they
won't do me any good !" That, ac-
cording to one farmer friend is the
way a few people are still prone to
express themselves concerning the
planting of trees: Our friend says
that he tried to explain the situation
to these non -appreciators of trees as
follows: "It -is quite right — you
can't take them with you, but surely
you recognize it as a responsibility
to your country's future to leave the
land that has been yours for a life-
time's use in as fruitful a condition
as when you first took it over ..."
Farmers, of course, are not the only
ones who take opposite views when
it comes to discussing the material
values iia this life.

A TRIFLE ABOUT TRUFFLES
(Minneapolis Tribune)
Truffles, we have just learned from
our old friend the National 'Geogra-
phic Society, may become a "pass-
word" at the American table if cur
rent projects should prove succes
ful in developing low-cost mass pro-
duction of this European delicacy.
We also learned that a truffle is a
tuber, brother of the potato, cousin
of the mushroom, and a somewhat
disdainful relative of the nose -wrink-
ling molds, mildews, rusts, yeasts
and toadstools.
Truffles have introverted person-
alties. They snuggle under a soil
blanket without a root or leaf to sig-
nal their hiding place. So they are
mined," not farmed. They grow in
clusters and may be as small as a pea
or as large as a potato. The pung-
ent "deposits"are usually located by
specially trained dogs or pigs with
private -eye leanings. We suspect
that a sort of Geiger counter attach-
ment with an affinity for truffles
may be attached to their noses. Sniff,
sniff, snuffle—truffle!
Truffles have an odour that is dis-
tinctive. Delicately put --- it is
described as a "fruity fragrance."
More recklessly stated—they smell!
Like pinientoes soaked in olive oil
and sprinkled with garlic.
An innovation in 8arming,
brought to this country by two;
Dutch immigrant farmers; has;
proven so successful that many
farmers in the Aylmer district are
planning to copy their methods
this season.
Last year, their first 'season to
farm in Canada for themselves
since they came from Holland two
years ago, Frans Lepoutre, 27, and
Bernard De Jong, 30, decided to
continue an old -country practice,
which is to bury their silage in the
ground instead of stowing it in the
conventional silo.
The partners dug a hole in the
sand three feet deep and 15 feet
in diameter. They placed their al-
falfa, corn and other cattle_ food
in the hole and covered the mound
with two feet of the ' excavated
earth. During the winter they cut
chunks of this silage with a hay
knife as required and fed this to
their cattle.
Through the winter the silage
remained just as fresh and firm as
when they buried it. When the
last of it was used in April, the
enterprising farmers found there
was not one bit of loss from sour-
ing or shrinkage.
What came as a surprise to dis-
trict farmers was the silage did
not freeze by the severe frost of a
Canadian winter. As it turned out
there was enough heat produced
from the green feed to offset frost.
Another surprise was that the
partners received a butter fat test
rate of 4.3, considerably above the
local average. So good, in fact,
that the manager of the farms of
one of the 'large Ottawa dairies
has expressed his intentions of us-
ing the ground method of storage
for part of his crop.
Last year, men who had• worked
the soil all their lives, were highly
skeptical about this break in tra-
dition. It had always tbeen, and it
seemed ,it would always be, neces-
sary to use a frame structure, pre-
ferably with a tin roof, for storing
winter food for farm animals.
This year, folks, from miles
round, are calling on the Dutch
family in increasing numbers to
ask questions about the "new ex-; ex-
periment."
.ems®
One of the advantages of sor-
ing silage in the ground is that
the crop can be cut and stored, on
a rainy day—the wetter the better
—or early in the morning. There
was no waiting around for favor-
able weather, then a night and
day rush to get the fodder under
coven Normally with the use of
inflammable buildings for storage,
the winter food had to be condi-
tioned properly in the air and sun
to lessen the risk of internal com-
bustion.
With. taxes and maintenance
costs rising rapidly, and no relief
in sight, district farmers are be-
ginning to feel the increased over-
head. By using old mother earth,
100 per cent fireproof, for s orage,
they are beginning to reals many
of their buildings can be torn
down. This will not only make the
tax collector grind his teeth, but
the farmers will get a wider view
of their acres. The lumber salvag-
ed could be used for other neces-
sary repairs. •
Farming is not a recent experi-
ence to these new citizens of
Canada. Both Mr. Lepoutre and
Mr. De Jong are graduates of a
Holland agricultural college and
hold degrees for many branches of
farming.
They like the large Canadian
farms better than the small hold-
ings- in their native country. More
acres to them, offer the opportun-
ity to expand production and
diversify crops.
They started their new life in
Canada with 10 head of cattle.
With natural increase and by pur-
chase, they now possess 21. When
the necessary funds are available,
it is their ambition to own the big-
gest herd in the district,
Mr. Lepoutre was married to his
charming wife, Jacoba, one week
before sailing for Canada. They
now have a nine months' old.
daughter.
They think Canada is a very fine
country. All their letters sent,back
home speak in glowing terms of
the opportunities awaiting their
relatives and friends when it
comes their turn to embark for
our shores.

Horses vs. Tractors
The ever-increasing performance
and efficiency of the tractor during
the .first part of this century does
not 'mean that in the near future
the horse will have disappeared as
a factor of importance in world ag-
riculture, says an editorial of
"World Crops," a magazine publish-
ed in Great Britain and distributed
throughout the world.
According to this article, there
is no reason to 'believe, as some
prophets do, thdt the horse "will
survive merely as an instrument
for sport and recreation, a charm-
ing relic of a bygone age." On the
contrary, writes the editorialist,
horse has, and will continue to
have, a definite part to play in the
farm economy for many years to
come and, indeed, indefinitely. It
will supplement the work of the
machine and their roles are com-
plementh.ry, a sort of symbiosis, in
fact.
Point is given to this in a recent
circular of the British Ministry of
Agriculture which describes the
alarming decline in the number of
farm horses during the past decade.
The circular stresses the fact that
tractors have to depend on import-
ed fuel oil, while the horse "pro-
ceeds under its own steam gener-
ated by home-grown food."
"Even assuming that adequate
supplies of tractors, spare parts
and fuel can be relied upon, says
the writer of "World Crops," there
are still many occasions when the
horse can be more suitably employ-
ed than the tractor. Smaller
farms with, say 100 to 125 acres of
arable land possessing only one
tractor, will almost certainly re-
quire two horses at least."
The editorial goes on to point
out that the tractor is Particularly
valuable for. getting heavy work
done quickly, but numerous light
jobs are more cheaply and effici-
ently done by horses, especially
when conditions are wet owing to
the lower compressive effect of the
horse. In some conditions. "the
value of the draft animal as a
source of supply of organic man-
ure has to be taken into account."
"It is not really a question of
competition between the animal
and the tractor, concludes the edi-
torialist, but rather one or deciding
the conditions under which ;each
can be used to the best advantage.
They are, in fact, complementary
and not competitive."
Self -Feeding Of Hogs
Self-feeding hogs has become so
general nowadays that feeding in
this way has become the accepted
method in many districts. This is
understandable, for the self -feeder
eliminates morning and evening
feedings, and so saves time at the
busy periods of the day. While the
self-feder requires attention, it
need only be a daily one to make
sure that feed is available and that
no blocl1 has occurred in the feed
hopper.
But self-feeding should not lead
to carelessness and to neglect of
the pigs. It is important to watch
the development of the pigs, pos-
sibly more so than with hand feed-
ing, and prepare a feed mixture
spitabie to their growth and condi-
tion. To do this, the feed mixture
Will need to .be varied from time
to time.
1
In developing feed mixtures for
self-feeding, possibly the simplest
way is to 'consider first the feed
mixtures used for hand feeding.
There are commercial pig starters,
pig growers, and pig finishers
available, or the operator can mix
his own mixtures from home-grown
grains along with protein and min-
eral supplements. When self-feed-
ing such mixtures it is advisable
to include more of the bulky feeds
suoh as oats, alfalfa meal or bran.
With increased bulk in the ration
the pig will still satisfy his appe-
tite, but will consume less of the
fattening feeds included in the mix-
ture.
Self-feeding of market hogs is
suitable for winter or summer, for
indoors or outdoors, for dry lot or
pasture. In any case, fresh water
should always be supplied, prefer-
ably running, or from some self -
watering device, regularly and fre-
quently filled.
Complete infdrmation on the self
feding of swine, suitable feed mix-
tures and a plan with construction
details of a self -feeder, are con-
tained in Circular No. 129, "The
Self -Feeder For Hogs," which can
be obtained free upon request
from Information Service, Domin-
ica' Department of Agriculture, Ot-
tawa.
Hay and Grass Silage
Many tons of baled hay have
been lost by harvesting at too high
a moisture 'content, and storage
losses in both obopped hay. and
grass silage have resulted from
poor storage.
Hay harvested by a pick-up baler
should have a moisture content of
20-50 per cent depending on the
type of hay and the density of the
bale. Mature timothy hay baled
loosely -may be stored satisfactor-
ily at 25 per cent moisture con-
tent, or at the same condition as
loose hay. Early cut, alfalfa clover
mixture baled tight should have a
moisture content not exceeding 20
per cent.
Baled hay may be handled in the
barn by hand, by elevator or by a
grapple fork on the hay track.
Some breakage will occur with the
grapple fork but will not be too
serious if handled carefully. As
baled hay weighs four to five times
as much as loose hay per cubic
foot, care should 'be taken not to
overload the hay mow floor.
Chopped hay cut to a length of
four inches takes up about the
same storage space as loose hay
and so can be stored at the same
moisture content. However, if the
machine is set to cut 8% inches,
the hay should be particularly dry
before it is placed in the mow.
Chopped bay should be distributed
evenly in the barn by frequent ad-
justment of the blower {ripe nozzle
and under no conditions should be
walked on or tramped.
In making grass or legume sil-
age the moisture content should be
60-70 per cent and should be cut
at the proper stage of maturity.
The cropshould d be cut into short
leingths by setting the machine for
a %4noh cut or preferably y4 -inch.
Knives should ibis kept sharp and
set close to the cutter plate, The
cutting schedule should be arrang-
ed to correspond with the ensiling
operations as closely as possible. -
