The home economists of the Consumer Section, Canada Department of ,Agriculture do it this way: Pour about half a cup of sugar in a the area. According to the new small jar and add six to eight act two-thirds of the cattle breed - drops of food coloring. Cover the jar and shake it for a few minutes. When it appears to be evenly tint- ed spread the sugar in a thin lay- er on waxed paper and let it dry thoryughly before storing — that's so it won't cake. A half cup of colored sugar made this way will cost only about two and a half cents.

McMillan closed the meeting with prayer, Tree Industry Grows Larger Each Christmas The gay and green Christmas tree that brightens the hearts and homes of millions of Canadians is the product of a growing industry whose total sales this year will be well over $8,000,000. The Forestry Branch, Depart- ment of Northern Affairs and Na- tional Resources, estimates that more than 16,000.000 Christmas trees will be cut this year, more than half of them in the Provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. Christmas tree production in Canada has increased from an es- timated 10.900.000 trees in 1949 to 16,700,000 in 1955. While domestic consumption has stayed fairly steady, increasing by 300,000 trees in the 1949-1955 period. experts have climbed steeply. Sales of Canadian Christmas trees to the United States increased from 7,- 400,000 in 1949 to 12,800,000 in 1955. Approximately a third of all Christmas trees sold in the U.S. come from Canada. The big U.S. markets for Canadian trees are Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chi- cago and New York. Nova Scotia and Quebec together account for 52 per cent of all trees exported, New Brunswick and British Col- umbia for 38 per cent, and Ontario for nine per cent. Ottawa Announces Brucellosis Control Plan A country -Wide campaign will be launched next year by the Federal Agriculture Department to stamp out Bang's Disease which costs farmers an estimated $9.000,000 an- nually and causes undulant fever in humans. The disease. known medically as Brucellosis, is a bacterial infec- tion which causes abortions and breeding difficulties in cattle. Transmission of the infection from cattle to humans produces undulant fever. The Agriculture Department said the eradication program will be similar to that applied suc- cessfully in the virtual elimina- tion of tuberculosis from Cana- dian cattle. All susceptible cattle in areas recommended by provincial de- partment of • agriculture will re- ceive blood tests, Infected animals will be destroyed. with compensa- tion. paid to the owners. The eradication program fol- lows a joint. Federal -Provincial campaign of calf vaccination against the disease in effect since 1950. This vaccination program, along with several provincial con- trol programs. is considered to have reduced the incidence of the disease to a point where a nation- al program of testing and eradica- tion now is feasible. Under the program only cattle more than 30 months old will re- ceive blood tests. Cattle below, that age are considered immune due to the vaccination program. A department official said it is estimated that less than four per cent of cattle over 30 mon.ths of age will be found to have the dis- ease. He • said infected cattle will be destroyed because there is no known cure. The basis of compensation, the official said, has not yet been de- cided. However, it will be similar to compensation paid to farmers under the TB eradication pro- gram. Farmers receive $40 for a grade animal and $100 for a purebred, plus whatever the uninfected part of the carcass yields. Agriculture Minister Gardiner said that in addition to reducing cattle losses from the disease, "the moce will strengthen the posi- tion of Canadian cattle exporters in foreign markets which increas- ingly are required freedom from Brucellosis in cattle imports." An official of the Health Depart- ment said undulant fever can be contacted by humans by drinking raw milk from infected cows. Humans also 'tan be infected through contact with an infected animal or an insect which has had such contact. The official said the disease of- ten can be successfully treated with antibiotic drugs but that there is no known cure. The infection often lingered for considerable per- iods, frequently developing into a chronic condition. However, undulant fever has caused few deaths in Canada, The number of victims in the 1921-55 period was 141. the largest annual toll being 11 deaths in 1937. There was one death last year and two in 1954. Balsam fir. the most popular Christmas tree in eastern Canada, is also the most popular tree for American export. Canadian ex- ports of balsam fir to the U.S. have increased from 46 per cent of the total in 1949, to 70 per cent in 1954. Douglas fir, which gets the nod from most people in Western Canada, accounts for 19 per cent of the export total, Scots pine for six per cent, and spruce for five per cent. The Canadian Christmas tree in- dustry, although becoming more highly organized each year, still offers opportunity for small but profitable enterprise. Federal for- estry research officers point out that 50 to 60 Christmas trees can be grown in the space and time required to grow one mature spruce and the value of the Christ- mas trees would be four times that of the timber tree. "Stump culture" also helps the Christmas tree producer by re- ducing the time needed for a tree to grow to meroy,an.table size. A Christmas tree Why take 12 to 18 years to reach a six-foot height, but if the tree is cut so as to leave some large and strong branches on the stump, these branches may be made to grow into trees suitable for sale. Few people who buy Christmas trees know what they are buying. The needles provide the best means of identification. Try to roll the needles between your fin- gers; if they can be rolled. the tree is a spruce; if the needles are soft and won't roll, then it is a balsam fir. Scots pins can be identified by its reddish -brown bark and short, bluish -green need- les borne two in a bundle. The needles of the white pine come in bundles of five and the red pine and jack pine carrf their needles in bundles of. two. Red pine has long needles and a bark that is 1 Ttt red and the jack phie Can be identified by its short,. yellowish green needles and •greY.i i h�brltiwfl isa r r ,,rr �.H f+ , (., •,,'h5, 1.4 m, 1,iz� PROCLAMAT1' Town Of Seaforth By resolution of the Council,' I hereby proclatu WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26 BOXING DAY A PUBLIC HOLIDAY and respectfully request the citizens and businessmen to observe the same.
