Each winter thousands of valuable hens in Canada starve because sun shine is denied.'them. They starve just as surely from a ’lack of health-giving rays of sunshine as if they are de rived of food or water. Many poultry men unintentionally _ . . and unknowingly let their hens suffer I Being mother of His Mother, for sunshine because they do not! She never knew of tempered steal, understand that the sun’s rays do two; * ‘ things for poultry; they furnish light j that tho hens may see and they fur nish ultra-violet rays that the hens may have normal health and develop ment. The health-giving rays of sunshine “can not pass through ordinary window ^lasS. Many poultry houses that are well lighted, as far as seeing is con cerned, are very poorly lighted as far as health is concerned. Hens in many of the brightest and cheeriest of poul try houses are deprived of ultra-violet flight and are thereby unable to make proper use of the minerals in their feed which are essential for vigor and ?egg production. Egg production clropg. What eggs there are have thin shells and hatch very poorly. In extreme cases the hens develop what is known as “egg paralysis,” A fully developed egg may remain in the oviduct-two or three days, and when It is laid the hen is almost completely paralyzed in her legs for a few days. The lack of ultra-violet light is --SMGa-vesp&xxsiblfr-^h&n-any other-one thing for the disappointing “hatch ability” of winter and early spring eggs. It has been found that eggs from hens receiving ultra-violet light hatch, about 50 per cent, better than eggs from-hens receiving al! their sun-1 shine through ordinary window glass. So it is simply a problem of making! the best use of thia beneficial ultra-' violet light. In parts of the country I where the winter is mild enough the’ problem is easily solved by using the | open-front type of poultry house. [ Where, low\t tom.pgratures and drafts! in ths-i^yrng houses*mu$t be guarded “against, it becomes necessary to use one of the glass substitutes which transmit the ultra-violet rays. There are several of these substitutes on the market, In parts of the country where there is only scant sunshine during the win ter and spring, cod-liver oil can be used to good advantage. Cod-diver oil con tains vitamin D, a substance which enables animals to get along without .ultra-violet light. But some samples of' cod-liver oil are deficient in this valuable vitamin D, so it is always •wise to make the fullest possible use of sunshine and use the oil as a sup plementary, aid. The poultryman who will take ad vantage of these simple, recently dis covered facts relating to ultra-violet Sight, and put them into practical ap plication, wilL-find many of his most puzzling and costly troubles rapidly disappearing. mor© in strawberries in the! tuning industry is moving west, WfrppC,, The success- of bast year’s; J.

Opportunities for British Inwigrfttjpn« SY ^KAIRUESI W. FSTOSON, It has been Canadays misfortune to have received during past year an overabundance of agricuRui’al “drift* ers,” some of whom try farming for a year or two and then toll for the less laborious, urban life and ultimately be come absorbed in our congested towns and cities. Our census returns arc obtained at great cost. They are in tended to convey useful information on which intelligent, national develop ment policies can be built. It is high time we studied them. It is shown, for instance, that our native-born population, contributes seven per cent, of “farm owners and operators,” The British born immigrant 6,8 perl cent., and the foreign born population ' 16,2 per cent, Out of 1,665,454 immi- j grants from British countries 34.70 ’ were rural residents and 65.30 urban, j Of the 890,282 foreign immigrants 54.22 were rural residents and 45.68 per cent, urban.

No, it’s which apparently^ can best be done by encouraging lai’ge influx of people from the United Kingdom end Ireland, As, however, we cannot, and. should not, move agricultural people from there in volume,- we must strive to open the way foi' urban Britishers, by promoting ip Canada a strong agri cultural development, and also assidu ously foster the work and scope of the admirable agricultural training schools in Great Britain for overseas settlers. But if we want agricultural settlers, anxious to create permanent, rural homes and with a genuine love for the soil, while we can try our luck in Northern Europe, we must neces sarily place our main dependence upon the east and central European peasant. And these people can only be moved through a policy of .state- aided colonization. These are the bald facts of the case. The indications are that th© indis criminate, happy-go-lucky immigra tion efforts of the past will not ans wer the purpose of the future. The situation, clearly demands comprehen sive policies and intelligent adminis tration on the part of Canada’s immi gration Services. The present arbi trary, bureaucratic machine must be completely overhauled and defective parts replaced. What Canada wants is a certain proportion of real, agri cultural settlers, which need not be of the “fancy” class, because Agricul ture in Canada, in view of the large proportion of “marginal” lands am ongst the present vacant area, is not a fancy occupation in any sense of the word. We need to recognize more clearly the uncomfortable fact that the key problem in colonization in every pro vince in Canada, is the development of our enormous residue of vacant, in ferior lands; lands generally of aver age soil quality, but involving strenu ous pioneering efforts in order to re deem and improve them into high class, productive farms.

It’s O'Brien.”Not many people realize that Can ada is a tobacco-producing country of some proportions. As a matter of fact nearly 28,000 acres are under cultivation for this product in Eastern Canada, with ah annual’ production of upwards of 30 million pounds valued at seven million dollars. Of .this acreage over 18,000 acres are in the southern peninsula of Ontario and. nearly 10,000 acres in Quebec, largely the Montcalm district, A small! ex perimental acreageyis also reported” from British Columbia. According to-.a statement by'the Dept, of the Interior at Ottawa over half the tobacco smoked in Canadas is produced within the country, and fig ures published by the. Federal Dept.' of Agriculture show, that 3,531,422 pounds of leaf tobacco were actually exported from Canada during the fiscal1 year ending March 81st, 1925. Of this amount nearly 2U million pounds went to the United Kingdom for manufacture largely into cigar ettes where it is considered invaluable for blending purposes. When it is pointed out that as recently as 1921 •Canada exported only 200,000 lbs. of unmanufactured lehf, the tremendous recent recognition that Canadian, to bacco has achieved in world markets will be appreciated. Canadian grown tobaccos include -all the standard types namely, pipe , to bacco, cigarette tobacco, cigai- fillers and cigar wrappers or binders. The varieties thaY contribute most gener ally to the production in Eastern Can ada are Burley, Flue-cured; Green River, Dark-fired and Rustica.' Pro duction comes largely from well- drained sandy soils and ■ sand loams ’ and in Ontario close to Lake Ontario.; Canadian tobaccos possess one vir tue that places them high in the re gard of manufacturers'of the leaf, in Britain especially.
