Destruction is not• the only use to which man can devote the atom. Pictured is a scale model
of the world's first atomic power station, now under construction in Cumberland, England. In'
about 18 months' time the British expect the completed plant to have an output of enough elec-
tricity

Protection and Distribution of Eggs
• An interesting study of the pro-
duction and distribution of eggs
appears in the October issue of
the Economic Annalist, a .pulblica-
tion of the Canada :Department of
Agriculture. Some of the findings
would apply with equal force to
most areas 'of Canada.
In summing up the general. pic-
ture, G. B. Murray who made the
study!' points out that "studies
made elsewhere in Canada and the
United States show a close rela-
tionship between size of enterprise,
management practices and labor
returns to the operator. Small lay-
ing flocks do' not provide as effici-
ent use of labor as do larger flocks
and do not yield . sufficient income
to merit specialized attention of
feeding, disease control and man-
agement. For these reasons many
poultry specialists are recommend-
ing that farmers have either a
-Small flock of layers •to provide
their families' needs for eggs and
chickens, or have a flock of at least
400 to 500 layers which can be
profitably managed • on 'a eonimer-
cial basis. Problems confronting
commercial egg marketing agencies
would tend to be' lessened by such
a development in New Brunswick.
'But in areas where commercial
marketing channels have..not been
organized and flocks are small, it
is obvious that the promotion of
greater commercial production and
the Organization of commercial out-
lets must be simultaneous,"
Care of Farm Machinery
It Is always wisdom to protect
an investment and the outlay on
farm machinery represents a con-
siderable portion of the capital ex-
penditure on the highly mechaniz-
ed farms of today. It takes con-
siderable, patience and time to put
a moldboard, cultjrefer shovel,
seed'drill or one-way dist into s•at-
4afaetory condition if the working
--Surfaces have been allowed to rust
for any length _ of time. Rusty
bearings, &halting.• steel chains or
slip- clutches May cause more wear
in the first hour of operation, af-
ter a season's storage than will
occur during the entire operating
season.
RUst is found on iron or steel
after exposure to moisture in the
presence of air and to remove it
from any surface that is to be pol-
ished, some of the iron or steel
bast to -be removed. Various oils
and lubricating- materials, may be
used for rust prevention, but un-
tortunately most farm equipment
receives no .treatment of any kind.
Time spent in cleaning up ,farm
machinery and applying an effec-
tive rust preventative is far from
wasted. Hours of irritating work
and possibly expensive repairs may
be saved when equipment is used -
again in the spring.
•
Top Soil Losses Are. Expensive
Whether top soil is removed
from a field by wind, water or me-
chanical power, the result is the
same. Soil that le .left 1s incapable
of producing good crop yields and
may continue so for a number of
years.
At the Experimental Station at
Lethbridge, Alta., wheat yields
were secured during 1952 and 1953
froin fields which suffered severe
wind erosion during the drought
period of the thirties, and also
from comparable non -eroded soil.
On the average for a number of
comparable yields in 1852 and
1953, the non -eroded toil produced
30.2 bushels per acre of wheat as
compared with, only .12.8 bushels
on eroded soil. These 'figures indi-
cate a reduction in wheat -produc-
ing capacity py severe wind ero-
sion of 58 per, cent. Moreover,
this reduced 'productivity has per-
sisted tor many years after the
erosion took place.

Perm, Ottawa, top soil was remov-
ed from e. field plot to a depth of

tons on the normal plot.
In Eastern Canada rainfall takes
top soil qff hill tops and slopes just
as effectively as it is removed by
wind storms in the West. Most
farmers have seen the difference
in their crops on land on which
this has occurred. The figures
provide a measure, of what erosion
means in loss of production per
acre—losses that continue year af-
ter year. .
House Plants Rest in Winter
Don't be disappointed if your
house plants cease flowering in
winter time or flower feebly. This
is a natural condition; for wicter
is a resting period induced by the
shorter days and the lower tem-
peratures. Most of the plants that
,do flower in winter have been pre-
pared for blooming during the pre-
ceding months ,of summer or
autumn.
'During the winter, house plants
should receive.. special treatment
to accommodate them to this rest
period. All practices which tend
to stimulate growth should be stop-
ped; less water, is needed; repot-
ting . and root disturbance should
be avoided.
Fairly low. temperatures are' de-
sirable, but as the warmth of ; a
house is' maintained to suit hu-
mans rather than plants, this is
not always practical. The av
age room temperature .of 70 de-
grees is much too thigh for most
plants duringwinter time. Often
a compromise can be made by
keeping the plants in the coolest
room, preferably one in whieh the
temperature . falls to 60 degrees
during the night.
THE -VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
On the North American contin-
ent there are about as many cattle
as people. Suppose that every
year $200,000,000 were spent pro-
moting a, commodity that had
made 7,000,000 cattle diseased and
increased the number of incurable
animals by 250,000 a year, what
would cattlemen sa:y? What would
the Government agricultural de-
partments have to say? Yet that
is exactly what the highly colored
lavish liqupr advertising is helping,
to do to human beings. Look over
those statistics again. They pre-
sent a grim picture of modern
drinking. .It is not exaggerated in
the least. Alluring advertising is
definitely encouraging the drink
habit. Why not ask .our Govern-
ment at Toronto apply a little of
their liquor -revenue to advertising
the harmful effects of liquor'drink-
ing? We already have 30,000 alco-
holics in Ontario. Twenty-two
Clinics for the treatment of alco-
holics are being set up in Ontario
by the Government. This is admir-
able SALVAGE work. What about
at least an ounce of prevention
through advertising? —Inserted by

Report Indicates Deer
Season Successful
The four-day open season on
deer in the District of Lake Huron
(the Counties of Bruce, Grey, Hur-
on, Oxford, Perth and Waterloo)
was quite successful, according to
a preliminary report by the Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests. True,
fewer deer were killed than many
of us might have wished, and as a
method of lessening- complaints of
property damage, or of adequately
harvesting the deer resource, the
results were not spectacular, but
the season did, show conclusively
that the herd would not be, decimat-
ed, that there would be no frantic
influx of non-resident hunters, and
that little property damage would
be done by hunters duritg such a
season, the4department points out.
No figures for total kill of deer
are available, but the check of
1,239 hunters by officefs of the De-
partment provides a good basis for
analysis of the kill. These 1.239
hunters had killed 191 deer, for a
success ration of 15 per cent. This
is a minimal figure, -since a num-
ber of the unsuccessful hunters
were checked during the early
hours of the first day of the sea-
son and they may later have been
successful. This, figure of 15 per
cent compares favorably with the
province -wide average of about 30
per cent for deer hunting in non-
agricultural areas.
As a basis for analyzing the age -
class distribution of the herd, the
ages of 170 deer were determined
by the field staff. The `information
received shows that the deer herd
in the Lake Huron District is both
healthy, and prolific. Although
there appear to be fewer 1% -year-
old deer of both sexes and Ph-
ypar-old bucks than would be ex-

lifetime said thus place himself in
the position of being able to •dis-
tribute.hia worldly goods by means
of a will. But there is no one who
could not follow tale example of a
lawyer who died penniless a few
years ago.
"I, Charles Lounsbury, being of
sound and disposing mind and
memory, do hereby make and pub-
lish this my last will and testament
in order, as justly as may be to dis-
tribute my interest in the world
among succeeding men.
"That part of lay interests, which
is known isi law and recognized in
the sheep bound volumes as iby
property, being inconsiderable and
of no account, I make no disposal
of it in this my will. •My right to
live, being but a life estate, is not
at my disposal but, these things
excepted, all else in the world I
now proceed rto devise and be-
queath.
"ITEM:—I give to good fathers
and mothers, in trust for their chil-
dren, all good little words of praise
and encouragement and all quaint
pet names and endearments, and I
charge said parents to use them
justly, .but generously, as the needs
of their children shall require.
"ITEM:—I leave to children in-
cluskvely, but only for the term of
their childhood, all and every the
flowers of the fields -and the bins=
soma of the woods, with the right
to play among them freely, accord-
ing to the customs of • children,
warning them at the same time
against thistles and thorns. And
I devise to children the banks of
the brooks and the golden sands
beneath the waters thereof, and
the 'odors of the willows that dip
therein, and the white clouds that
float high over the giant trees. And
I leave the children the long, long
days to be merry ID i, a thousand
ways, and the night; and the moon,
and the train of the Milky Way to
wonder at, but subject neverthe-
less, to the rights hereinafter given
to lovers.
"ITEM:—I devise to boys jointly
all the useless, idle fields and 'Com-
mons where ball may be played, all
pected in a thrifty, well-managed
herd, this shortage is probably of
no consequence.
There is no reason why open
seasons similar to the one recent-
ly closed, should nut be establish-
ed as regular, annual events, the
Department believes. With a pro-
spect of only about 15 chances in
one hundred of securing a' deer in
Southern Ontario there is' small
likelihood of large 'numbers of
hunters passing up the opportun-
ity of hunting in the better deer
ranges of the north -central parts
of the province.
At the present time, the oppor-
tunity of securing a deer legally
as well as locally should act as,a
deterrent to some would -Ise poach-
ers in Southern Ontario, and it
should make landowners a little
less resentful of crop losses due to
the activities of deer.
"This year's legal kill can hardly
be expected to reduce appreciably
the rate at which deer are being
struck by automobiles in the dis-
trict, but it should go a long way
towards convincing people in the
rest of Southern Ontario that the
deer herd can and should stand a
short open season each year," the
report concludes.
