Remembrance Day
Canadians from coast to coast will
pause briefly on Saturday in silent
tribute to those who in two world
wars paid the supreme sacrifice in
order that their fellow citizens could
continue to enjoy the way of life
which each hold so dear.
The uncertainties, the troubled
relations of recent years, and the
threats of still more wars, may sug-
gest to some that the sacrifices,
which on Saturday will be remem-
bered, were in vain.
True, the peace and security for
which they died have not yet been
fully secured. But as Prime Minister
St. Laurent pointed out in an address
Last week, "their sacrifices have nev-
ertheless given the free world a
greater vision of international soli-
darity and of mutual aid."
The Prime Minister went, on to
say: "Now the free nations of the
world, including Canada, have been
intensifying the planning and organ-
ization of their combined strength
for the primary purpose of deterring
aggression and thus preventing the
possible outbreak of a third world
war.
"If we, as a nation, are going to
play our part in this world-wide
struggle on behalf of freedom and
peace and security, it will be neces-
sary for all of us to show our will-
ingness to defend these foundations
of our democratic way of life."
We, for whom their sacrifice was
made, can do not less than is sug-
gested by Mr. St. Laurent. If we,
at every opportunity and by every
means at our disposal, resolve to up-
hold the democratic way of life and
to conscientiously assume our re-
sponsibilities as Canadian citizens,
their sacrifices will not have been
made in vain.

The Passenger Pigeon
One of the great wonders of the
North American Continent seventy-
five years ago was the passenger
pigeon, which was present in such
vast numbers that flocks passing ov-
er an area would blot out the sun for
several hours at a time. Older resi-
t dents of the district recall in their
youth seeing vast masses of pigeons
flying in such density that the air
seemed literally to be filled to capac-
ity. The beat of thousands of wings
built up into a roar that was as of
uninterrupted thunder. And yet to-
• day there is not a single passenger
pigeon alive on the continent. The
last of the species died in a Cincin-
nati zoo on September 1, 1914, and
the passenger pigeon became extinct.
The amazing story of the passen-
ger pigeon and its elimination with-
in two generations is recalled in a
recent issue of Maclean's magazine.
So great were their numbers that it
seemed impossible for man to have
killed enough to seriously affect the
flocks. However, man didn't have
to kill them all. He killed most of
them and Nature did the rest. There
is a minimum population below
which any breed cannot continue to
exist in the face of disease and na-
tural forces.
Pigeons played a vital role in the
diets of early settlers, but this didn't
seriously affect the flocks. The trou-
ble began when hunting pigeons be-
came commercialized and profession-
al hunters began killing hundreds of
thousands to supply city markets.
The coming of the railroads' and tele-
graphs in the middle of the last cen-
tury sealed the doom of the flocks.
Minters were able to keep tab on the
andrailways made possible
fid converging,an the colonies
fists realized what
0 ado
to protect the species, the damage
had- been done. So great had been
the slaughter that by 1.900 there was
only one captive, flock of about fif-
teen birds left on the continent.

Horsemeat In Ambush
'(Edmonton Journal)
One of the deep-rooted fears of
most Canadians is that they may one
day inadvertently eat horsemeat. So
there will be general approval of the
prosecution launched against a num-
ber of Ottawa ,butchers accused of
selling horsemeat disguised as ham-
burger, sausage and minute steak.
What strikes us most in the report,
however, is that the customers gen-
erally don't seem to have suspected
anything. It is alleged that many
such "Dobbinesque" hamburgers
were served at the Ottawa exhibition
last summer and apparently most of
the consumers thought they were
eating genuine—well, whatever it is
hamburgers are supposed to be made
of.

Growth Or Decay?
(From Hoard's Dairyman)
Early in August we visited again
a farming community that was once
our home. Many of our readers have
had a similar experience. There are
farms that appear today much the
same as they did 15 or 20 years ago.
Other farms have improved; build-
ings have been remodelled, repaired,
or entirely rebuilt; crops are green-
er and more productive; fences are,,
tight. Other farms have gone
through a sad state of degeneration;
roofs are sagging, boards are loose ;
hay ripens on formerly well -cared for
lawns; fences sag. Shingles blown
loose and barns off their foundations
reflect stagnation.
So it is, too, with the minds of men.
There are those who "get along" by
barely keeping up with the run of the
mill. They are slow to adopt improv-
ed, well established practices. They
give grudgingly of the outmoded.
These are the men who parallel the
farms that today look much as they
did years ago. These are the men
who still do not test their herds for
milk production. They are seeding
improved varieties of grains because
the improved varieties are more
readily available, not because they
necessarily demand them. These are
the men who will spend a small
amount for fertilizer in good income
years. These are the men who think
by slow osmosis, work without en-
thusiasm and without satisfaction.
• Then there is the man who is con-
stantly growing in mental stature;
open-minded, curious, challenging,
penetrating in his thinking. The
status quo is deadening and uninter-
esting to him. He is observant; ready
and willing to adopt, as soon as prac-
tical, improved practices that mean
better farming, greater income, a
higher standard of living and a full-
er life. His herd has uen under test
for many years. It is a healthy herd,
_ a well bred herd. Well fertilized soils
yield large quantities of high quality
feed. New varieties of grains, grass-
es and legumes are tried on small
plots from year to year. Those well
adapted to the farm and superior to
those presently used are incorporated
. quickly into the cropping program.
There is no mental stagnation in men
of this type. They are the bellweth-
ers of the flock. Their work and life
are never cursed by boredom, but
blessed by curiosity and impatience
for greater knowledge. Envy this
man for his is a rich life, not in dol-
lars alone, but in its fascination, vig-
or, and continuous vitality.
Consider, in contrast, the man who
is mentally dead. All he has is that
which was passed on to him as a
child, when his mind was relatively
fertile. He has difficulty today ap-
plying even those few practices that
were good years ago. He reminds us
so much of the third type of farm;
the one we view with pity. The barn
slowly rotting on its sills or dislodg-
ed from its foundation, the weedy
fields, and the scrub cattle are akin
to the mental stagnation of this man.
Consider, for a moment, the farm-
stead where the barn has finally col-
lapsed and the sagging house no lon-
ger bears the respectability of a
whole windowpane. The eventual
collapse on this farm was preceded
by neglect and lack of . maintenance;
in other words, the failure to match
the forces of decay. The result was
collapse. So, too, we t1iay draair a par-
allel ;with non.

A fellow doesn't think much

another, have popped) over to De-
troit or Buffalo for a. day or so,
and the only formality that ever
happened was that the „immigra-
tion officer asked you where you
were born, and how you planned
on staying in the States,.
Let me tell you, it's a lot dif-
ferent affair when youplan on go-
ing through this neighbor country
to another one, and coming back
the same way. This all took place
before the present restrictions, so
it can be considered to be normal.
Armed with a bright, shiny pass-

plucked from the pages of Crime
Magazine, or else was taken from
one of those "Wanted" circulars
that they heave in post offices, I
went to see the American authori-
ties• in the city. First of all, I had
to make an appointment. Then I
walked into a room where there
was a line of people of all sizes,
shapes and nationalities, waiting
to get permission to enter the
United States. Some of them I
gathered were Canadians, who
wanted to go and work below the
border. Others were European re-
fugees who had been able to get
into Canada, nad now lead their
eyes on the American Republic.
My turn came. There was a

long list of questions of all kinds.
Then I was di'ngerprinted. This
wasn't a dab with oue or two fin
gers. This wase the complete job
with my hands smeared with ink,
and I had to give individual prints
of each finger, and then a collec-
tive one of all the fingers.
I stood around in an embarrass-
ed way trying to get the ink off
with benzine, while everybody gap-
ed at me. Then I had to produce
a slip proving that I had been vac-
cinated for smallpox. Then I
started moving frond one desk to
another. A question here and a
question there, and finally taking
an oath before a commissioner,
and then up to the next floor. A
handsome blonde took a look at
my passport :pictures and smiled,
"Sing Sing or Dannemora?" I was
given back my passport. Then the
unexpected happened. There was
no charge for all bhe fuss." Trust
the Americans to fool you! I was
certain. it was going to cost a for-
tune.
On the way (back from the city
that night I spent three hours try-

money. It ended in a stalemate.
I didn't know a thing about it, and

seas would qualify me to become

The Last Straw
(By Bessie F. Wallace)
The hot August sun poured
through the front door as Mrs.
Smith stepped outside for a mom-
ent. Across the street on the out-
skirts of the town, Mrs. Jones, who
sat knitting on her shady veran-
dab, waved an inviting 'hand. For
a moment Mrs. Smith hesitated,
then nodded. her head in accept-
ance. She had promised all sum-
mer to go across to her neighbor's
en . her knitting, to "set" awhile
ome afternoon, and this was as
good a time as any. So, donning
a fresh -starched white apron, she
crossed the street, knitting in
hand.
As they chatted amicably togeth-
er, a farmer lumbered slowly by
in his farm wagon. Mrs. Smith
glanced up, but quickly dropped
her eyes to her knitting. Mrs.
Jones also looked up, first at the
farmer, then at her guest. After
a moment she asked: "Was that
not your cousin Jimmy's husband
who just passed?"
"Was it?" parried Mrs. Smith;
"I was just turning the heel in
this sock?"
After a moment of silence, the
hostess persisted: "I• haven't
seen your cousin or any of her
family around for weeks, and they
used to come so often."
At first Mrs.Smith remained
taciturn, then suddenly she blurt-
ed out: "No, and you are not like-
ly to see them for some weeks to
come!"
She paused, then continued: "As
you know, I am not one to talk
about my relatives, but the last
time they were in was the last
straw. You can not have helped
noticing how often they used to
come, and ,how many of them!
They would stay for dinner nearly
every week. Of course, they al-
ways invited Ned and me out for
Sunday dinner once every sum-
mer. Well, when they were here
away back about the first of June,
Jenny was complaining about the
price of eggs being so low, so I
sited her if she would bring me
ail a simple of dozen the next time
they were coming. And she prom-
ised she would if she could spare
them without spoiling a easeful.
Well, the very next Saturday my
husband was away and as I was
all alone I wasn't bothering much
about my own lunch and was
counting on getting a good day's
work done. Then about eleven
o'clock along came Jenny and Jim
and the whole family. I was not
expecting them, as it was not their
regular market day for coming,
but it happened that they wanted
to have a family group photograph
taken, and had to come on Satur-
day, so as not to keep the chil-
dren out of school. There were
Jenny and Jim and their eight
children, and they 'had brought
Molly, the hired girl, along, too.
It seems they had been promising
to bring her in to town to buy a
new hat for herself. You can im-
agine how I felt with eleven din-
ners to get, and I had only about
half a pound of smoked ,bacon in
the house. They were in a hurry,
too, as they wanted to be at the
photographers about one o'clock,
so I didn't thave time to send out
to the butcher's. 1 was just won-
dering what to when when Jim
said:
'Here, Minnie, are the eggs
you asked us to bring in. There's
one short of the two dozen, but it
was all we had left after we had
packed the cases?"
"Well, I decided there was only
one thing to do—to cook the eggs
along with the bacon, so I fried
eighteen of them, for I knew that
every one of them would eat two
eggs, except the very littlest of
the children. Fortunately, I had
plenty of potatoes and canned
vegetables and bread and butter.
I had got extra milk, too, that
morning to do some baking; so I
used the other five eggs in making
a milk pudding for dessert. I was
glad and tired when I got that
areal over. Molly had gone out
first thing and got her hat, so as
soon as we were through eating,
Jenny said:
'Now, Minnie', Molly is going
to do your work in the kitchen
while you come upstairs and help
me and the girls to get dressed;
jUst tell Molly what you were go-
ing to do and she will attend to
it.'
"Well, I said, the dishes have
to be ivashed, of course, and after
that the bread will be ready for
kneading dewn again, and then
there is the stove to blacken."
"'All right,' said Jenny. 'Molly,
you start in at the dishes right
away; we are going upstairs.'"
"I spent over an hour helping
them .to dress. They had brought

Crop Report For Huron County
Almost summer conditions for
the greater part of the week have
kept livestock out on pasture, al-
though cooler weather at the week
end gave indication that dairy cat-
tle would soon be stabled. Egg
production is on the increase from
week to week.
Some turnips, a few sugar beets
and some other late crops are still
being harvested. The cabbage crop
in the southern part of the county
is very heavy, with some fields go-
ing up to 30 tons per acre. A num-
ber of farmers have completed fall
plowing. A considerable amount of
tile draining has been done this
fall.
World Egg Production
The office of Foreigi Agricultur-
al Relations. reports that world
production of eggs in 195() will be
five per cent above last year. This
will exeeed pre-war production by
about one-third mostly due to a
rise in United States production
of 66 per cent during the satne per-
iod. In nearly all countries cover-
ed by the report, larger numbers
and a higher productionper hen
account for the increase over 1949.
Wheat As a Feed For Livestock
•In periods when a wheat surplus
exists or when the Crop a has' been
damaged by frbsat, rust or unfav-
orable weather at harvest time,
the importance of giving wheat a
place in farm rations merits' con-
sideration.
Wheat is fully as palatable as
the coarse grains more commonly
used for feed.
When mixing wheat with other
grains, it should be done ,by weight
rather than by measure.
Wheat should never be ground
finely for feeding. Medium to
coarse grinding or rolling is pre-
ferable as 'finely ground wheat
may become pasty when 'moisten-
ed and result in digestive disor-
ders.
PIGS—Wheat; like all other
grains, has individual characteris-
tics and limitations in pig feeding,
which require that it be used with
judgment. Though in some eases
a high proportion of this grain has
been used in feed mixtures with
apparent satisfaction, ;there is
some experimental evidence which
suggests that under certain Condi-
tions hogs so fed may be penaliz-
ed in carcass grade for over-fl.nisih
even when marketed at 206 pounds
live weight. However, when a
mixture of grains is used there
should be no danger of carcass
penalty traceable to wheat when
it constitutes not over 60 per.-een't
of the feed mixture.
'Wheat to be satisfactory for
swine feeding, like the other cer-
eal grains, requires the addition
of protein, mineral and vitamin
supplerdents.
