Huron, Perth and Oxford re - Corded an average of 8,000 head of horses of all kinds for the three counties last year. The values av- eraged about $750,000. Huron led with 9,802 horses. Mares were pre- dominant and colts and geldings next. Perth listed only 26 stallions for the county, Oxford 37, and Huron a mere 18. Some 4,074 Huron farms reported horses kept, 3,392 in Perth and 2,880 in Oxford. Perth led in the three counties in swine population. A total of 122,031 swine were kept in 3,679 farms and - were worth $4,698,801, Eight hun- dred more Huron farmers kept on- ly 113,296 pigs worth $4,270,140. In Oxford, the value of 75,745 hogs on 2, 773 farms were $2,800,700. Of about 6.000 farms keeping cat- tle in. Huron, more than 3,700 con- centrated on milk production. Perth farms for milk purposes numbered 3.530, while only 943 were devoted to beef purposes. Some 3,326 Oxford farms concen- trated on milk and only 334 on -beef. Sheep -raising was strong in Perth last year where 187 farms raised 5,163 sheep worth $189,634. These sheep were nearly evenly divided between ewes and wethers, and lambs. In Huron, more than 330 farms kept 8,763 sheep worth $293,- 200. One hundred and sixty-five Ox- ford farms held 4,821 sheep valued at $159,402. Although Huron led the three eounties in goat population last year, the difference was not spec- tacular. One hundred and 31 goats worth only some $5,200. were kept. Perth's 124 animals were valued at 84,900 and in Oxford, 112 goats were worth $4,480. Some 4,200 Huron farms kept about one and one-half million chickens worth $2,000,000 in 1951. Some 408,000 of these chickens were pullets over six months of age. Perth and Oxford poultry stocks numbered closer to 1,000,000 in each case. oxford kept more Thanksgiving dinners on the hoof last year on 71 farms than did either Perth or Huron, The 22,491 turkeys there were worth a total of $118,527. Huron counted about 15.000 tur- keys and Perth only some 9,700. Some 7,000 ducks worth more than $14,400 were kept in Huron and only about 4,800 in each of Ox- ford and Perth. Geese were most plentiful in Oxford where 6,749 were valued at $25,578. Huron and Perth were not far short of this mark. • There were fewer apiaries in Perth during 1951 than in either Oxford or Huron. Huron hummed with bee -hive activity. On 64 farms 5,413 hives worth $81,195 were kept. Fifty-five farmers reported keeping 1,222 hives in Oxford, worth a little more than $18,300. The va- lue of Perth's 1,842 hives on 38 farms fell short of the $28,000 mark. The entire Dominion listed 'hors- - es worth more than 941/2 million dollars last year. Ontario held about 260.000 of the 1,306,000 steeds, Cattle numbered over 3,000.000, with Ontario laying claim to about 85 per cent of the total. Of the nearly 5,000,000 swine, however, this province's stake was for less than 1,800,000. In all other divi- sions listed above Ontario owned an average of one-third to one-half of the livestock *wealth. When to Call People by Their First Names (By Sarah Churchill, in "This Week" Magazine) Highest mountain peak in Can- ada is Mount Logan. To a person freshly arrived from England, this rush to get down to fundamentals can be somewhat dis- concerting. We English are con- siderably more formal in our ap- proach to new acquaintances and people we know in some non-social connection. For instance, itis still very un- common in England for an employ- er to call his secretary by anything more familiar than "Miss So -and - So," even when she's been an office fixture for 25 years And in France, a boss who called his secretary "Monique" would provide not only his office workers, but bis wife, cause for raised eyebrows. Personally I'd like to see some sort of a compromise between the rigid continental system of auto- matically ruling out first names in certain circumstances, and the American custom of ruling them in under any and all conditions. Not, let me hasten to add, that I object to being, called Sarah by everyone in niy television show. But on the social level I think its nice to start acquaintanceships with last names. This is not to preserve icy frigidity, On the con- trary, it leaves the door wide open for the development, of friendship. It leaves you somewhere to go, It is also a safeguard in case you never take any particular fancy to the person -concerned. Another consideration should be the fact that the other person may have ideas of his own on the sub- ject. It would be upsetting to sidle socially up to "Sid" only to be re- buffed beeause you're acting pre- maturely. A (more familiar status will come about naturally when prompted by spontaneous feeling. .,• ,„., 'o' tan)* 0.6Mtelatee. `atiettata4 and et:M*0n genSeepeaetidetEpect lie geritialree 04 the titteettea; eenretale, tp IMP ble first nd5ne, then, of COWS% You are at liberty to do so, ,ra If you are intredlteed Into and '? taken up by a group where only first names are used. then obviouS- 1Y you must adopt the custom -or be strangely conspicuous If any new acquaintances address yogi by your first name, then you may reciprocate, except In a cape where the other person is due un- usual respect' as with an elderly individual. • There are some old rules that will always hold good in a crisis: Be- tween a man and a woman, the woman should be the first to use. the Christian name. The man may sometimes break the ice, however, by saying, "Masi I call you Doro- thy?" Between persons of, the sante sex, the older ordinarily should take the lead. And one of the best rules is:1 When in doubt, don't! Canada's Health Outdoor Banquet The meal eaten, out-of-doors on a hike often tastes better than an elaborate spread in. the dining - room. Tasty sandwiches of cheese or peanut butter, or bardboiled or devilled eggs, with a raw vegetable are tasty, nourishing and not too bulky to •carry. Fresh or dried fruit, too, should be included. For a drink, a vacuum bottle filled with hot or cold beverage will be safer than depending upon water taken from some natural source in the country which may be polluted.

D.C.OVA e Harvesting Within a few weeks The real har- vesting of both flower e and vege- tables should be under way and where there 'has been a little plan- ning this should go on right through until fall. With flowers that make the best bouquets, the more we pick the more the blooms. This is especial- ly true with such things as sweet peas, nasturtiums, dahlias, pansies, etc. As a rule it is best to pick or cut these blooms regularly and just as soon as they are open or about to open. If we leave them too long and .the floWers start go- ing to: seed, all the energy .of the plants will go into that and pretty soon blooming will cease. Wlith tiny things like alyssum and other edging plants where picking is not possible, some experts make it a regular practice to shear off the fading bloom with a pair of clip - pees. Within a few weeks the plants are covered again with fresh blossoms. Watt most flowers it is best to pick early in the morning before the 'sun has had a chance to fade the colors With vegetables the aim is to get prime quality. This means getting such things as peas and corn when the quality is right at. the peak, a matter of days only. With beets and carrots, and such things there is less,rush, as quality remains high for several weeks. With the lat- ter it is a good plan to continue the original thinning, taking out every other plant until the whole row is gone. With beans and some of the other plants one should avoid harvesting or disterbing the plants when they are wet as this is liable to spread disease, Transplanting If there is any secret about suc- cessful transplanting, the answer is plenty of moisture. ender normal conditions it is quite passible to water too often, if not too much, and a hose in the hands of the careless is not always an unmixed blessing. But in transplanting some extra watering is almost vital. In this business it is important to take as much soil with the plant or shrub as possible so that the fine roots are not broken or disturbed. Then the roots must We covered firmly with good, One soil and dampened down with water. If the sun is hot it is good to shade for a few hours. Better still, trans- plant in the cool evening. Pinch 'Em Most beginners are too gentle or tender. They hate to do some very necessary surgery. Take the hand- ling of what the trade calls bed- ding ,plants. These are well -start- ed annuals in both the flower and vegetable line whioh are grown from seed, sown indoors or he hot- beds, or are bought from the seeds - Whether you realize it or not, you're gambling with wind, rain or snow each day you hesitate to adopt a complete soil conservation program for your farm! Through simple conservation prac- ,. tices, you'll profit thrh larger crop yields, the result of saving soil fertility and water. On slopes up to 5 per cent, a good cropping system, bolstered by contour farming and well -sodded water- ways, will reduce the loss of topsoil at least 50 per cent. Under similar con- ditions, • with fields terraced, erosion control has been as high as 90 per cent effective. Considering this, we urge you to talk over your problems with the local soil conservation representative soon.

Canada to Launch (Continued from Page 6) proved that the oil could be suc cessiully separated from the sand particles despite the viscity. (Findings obtained through the op- eration of that experimental plant and from exhaustive studies and in- vestigatiOns made by Sidney M. Blair, Toronto petroleum engineer, who is the Alberta government's oil sands consultant, are generally credited with having encouraged private companies to enter the field and develop the petroleum reserve on a large scale. • After investigating all phases of the sande for the Alberta govern- ment last year, Mr. Blair conclud- ed that, "the bituminous sands can be mined and the bitumen process- ed by established methods. The •product is a distillate. The distil- late can be in the form of a de- sutphurized blend of gasoline and a gas oil similar to No. 2 grade fuel. The blend resembles a medium gravity crude of low sulphur from which the heavy fuel oil compon- ents have been removed. "The production can be attained by a sequence of. operations, each step of which is considered to be sufficiently proven, both technical- ly and economically, to permit the determination of reasonably safe capital and operating costs. "It is estimated that the total product would have a value of at least $3.50 a barrel at the Great Lakes terminal of the Canadian pipeline. "The estimated total direct oper- ating cost is $3.10 a barrel for the production and delivery of oil. This includes all associated field cots and adraitistration, but does not in- clude an allowance for interest on the capita] or profit," Mr. Blair also concluded that the magnitude on which the develop - merit operations are carried out "is Particularly important for this ma- terial (the bituminous sands).

Our superiority ov- er Russia on land, 4n the air, on the sea and in our factories wait un- matched. We were in a position not only to stipulate the conditions of peace, but to see that the terms agreed. upon were respected. But what did we do about it? We rush- ed into demobilizatieln.

The Ameri- can armed forces, which in the sum- mer of 1945 numbered just Under 12 ,million, were reduced to 1,500,- 000 men within eighteen months. The British, following the sarne pat- tern, reduced their fighting forces from just over 5 million in 1945 to 1,400,000 in 1947. • "As if this was not enough," on- tinued Mr. Duncan, "we sold much of our military equipment over the bargain counter, or we destroyed it; we closed our training camps and frequently tore them down, we dismantled our munition plants and sold the buildings.
