Cranbrook Cornflowers Meet The fourth meeting of the Cran- brook 'Cornflowers was held at the home of Mrs. Phyllis Mitchell, Thursday, Aug. 14, with five mem- bers present. Minutes. of the last - meeting were read by Helen Knight and seconded by Betty Hoegy. Hints on writing the club history were heard, and plans went ahead for Achievement Day, August 26. The leaders served a delicious lunch. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Watson, London, were guests of Mr. Ray Bennett and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Bennett over the week -end. Miss Edna Robinson, St. Cathar ines, is visiting, her friend, Miss Ethel Dennis. One of the most important caus- es of reduced grade quality of pota- toes on the Canadian market arises from mechanical handling at har- vest time. Up to 70 per cent of the grade defects in potatoes reach- ing the consumer may be traced to mechanical injury. Recent experiments at the Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, showed that injury in the field dur- ing harvest could be reduced to 2.5 per cent or less when potatoes were mature and equipment was operated properly. But, injury may be 15-30 per cent when the machin- ery and equipment are not care- fully operated. Hauling from the field, storing, and grading opera- tions perations can also seriously injure the potatoes. To keep the mechanical injury to a minimum, the following precau- tions are suggested: . (a) Operate the blade of the dig- ger deep enough to prevent cut- ting the tubers. tit) Maintain tractor speed at half throttle in low gear and retain Serve Coke with good things s to eat g Coca-Cola adds its own delicious flavor to the tasty things that tempt your guests.

Re- cent tests at the tlxperimental Farm at Indian Head, ,Sack., have demonstrated that the conditions under which fowl are raised and housed has a very marked effect on annual egg production. There is evidence to indicate that even the conditions under which chicky. are 'hatched has an effect on the ultimate number of eggs that the birds will lay.

The date when chicks are thatch- ed has some effect on productivity. This date is not so important where birds are raised indoors and where natural daylight is supplemented with artificial light. Where birds are reared on range, however, it is desirable to have the birdtl mature before the weather becomes cold and the hour§ of. daylightare re- duced. Late hatched chicks will mature late in thesefan or early winter when days are shorter and the weather is cold. Ae,,a result they take longer to come into pro- duction. Chicks hatched too early may .mature at a normal rate but after a month or two of laying, may go into a winter 'slump, with the loss of several weeks of egg production. After the pullets are laying, then artificial light is bene- ficial in maintaining winter produc- tion. Once thepullets are in the laying house, extreme environmental tem- peratures can cause a drop in pro- duction—especially if its onset is sudden. Cold weather for prolong- ed periods does not affect produc- tion very markedly; but cold wea- ther eetther when accompaniedby a re- spiratory disease will precipitate a partial moult and a cessation of egg production for several weeks. It is a well known fact that d c- ease will reduce the number of eggs that a hen will lay. For sev- eral months prior to death due to ' a disease, a bird will lay at a sub- normal rate, and if a large propor- tion of a flock is infected the loss (Continued from Page 2} are the two most important factors in care during pregnancy, but shel- ter, watering and sanitation must be given careful attention. Moderation in feeding is condu- cive to beet results. The sow should be kept in a medium state of fatness, neither too fat nor run down in flesh as either extreme adds to the risk of poor litters. A fat sow is likely to farrow a small un- even litter lacking in strength and vigor; a sow which is too thin lacks the necessary reserve nutrients' to adequately feed her pigs before or after birth. At the Beaverlodge Txperimental Station mature sows are fed about one -and -one-half pounds of grain per 100 pounds liveweight during early pregnancy and 25 per cent more during the last three weeks. Gilts receive about two pounds of grain mixture per 100 pounds live - weight. A grain mixture of equal parts oats and wheat or oats and barley is fed to pregnant. sows. When properly supplemented, this mix- ture has given good results if the quantity fed has been restricted to the amount required to keep the sow in vigorous condition. From six to eight per cent of a good pro- tein supplement is thoroughly mix- ed with this grain mixture to raise the quality of the ratien to an opti- mum ,bevel for pregnancy., During the winter months, either bright, leafy, sun -cured alfalfa is self -fed —or ten per cent alfalfa meal is added to the grain mixture, or one tablespoonful of feeding oil is giv- en to each sow per day, to provide additional vitamins required by the developing pigs. To augment the mineral supply, a mixture of equal parts of limestone, bonemeal and •iodized salt is self -fed to all preg- nant sows. Brood sows at the Experimental Station are provided with good pas- ture during as much of the year as possible. Pasture crops are used to reduce the cost of swine produc- tion and prevent nutritional defici- encies. Green pasture furnishes additional vitamins, proteins and minerals to supplement the grain ration; and when properly rotated, pastures are the basis of a good sanitation program. on year, We pause today and drop a silent tear; And pay our tribute with a falter- ing pen To one who meant so much to other men.
