THE THRIFTY SCOT
Many years ago two Scotchmen
might have been seen on the corner
of a street in Montreal flipping a
quarter* which was all the money
they bad in the world between them,
to decide whether they would, spend,
it on a bath or a breakfast, Cleail-
liness won out, ao they started Xor
the bath. Arriving there, they found
that only one could have a bath for
a quarter, so they tossed for the
bath. The Josbr stayed outside and
minded his friend’s" clothes.
Suddenly a bright thought struck

WORTH REMEMBERING
The high ways of life are the happy
ways,.
No sermon seems long which is
interesting.
Too many family ears are equip
ped with grumble seats,
No man ever loses more than when
he loses his head.
No preacher will ever lack for all
audience who is really helpful.
The easiest way to tell a boy how
to go straight ;is to diow him.
Blessed is? the church whose
preacher doesn’t do all the work.
It takes a lot of brass for some
men to talk about the Golden Rule.
The devil, is never worried by the
preacher who is afraid' to take sides.

Soybean r,Facts for Ontario Farmers
There still continue to be many
enquiries coming to the Agricultural
College at Guelph for -authentic in
formation regarding the . soybean
crop and its possible usefulness in
Ontario. For this reason 'a handsome
foldet under the above title has- been
prepared and can be secui’ed from
the Extension Department at the Col
lege. .Mhny varieties iof soybeans
haye been under test for many years
at the College and there has been
much experimentation as to the best
time of planting and best methods' of
growing and handling} the crop. The
circular gives brief “but definite in
formation about this work.
For the past two- years demonstra
tion plots haye been placed on a
number of farms along the high
ways from Windsor and Sarnia to
Toronto, and this work will be re
peated thi^ season. ..Farmers should
watch the growth of these plots
throughout the summer.
New Marketing- Roardi
The pew Ontario Marketing Board'-
through which the province hopes
to assist agriculture b^ scientific
and modern practice has been named
by Hon. T, L. Kennedy,, Minister of
Agriculture. It will consist of W-
B. Somerset, H. B. Clemes and Jas«-
B. Fairburn, while John A. Carroll,
will act, as secretary. No. remunora^
tion is attached to the offices with
the exioeption Of the secreary who*
will receive an honorarium. W. B.
Somerset, the ‘ chairman, recently
compiled a report on the fruit and
vegetable situation - in the'province,
H, B. Clemes is manager id the Unit
ed Farmer’s Co-operative; J. B-
Fa.irbairn is Deputy Minister of Ag--
rjculture and Mr, Carroll is director
of the Crops and Markets- Branch-
It is further announced that sales-
agonts, appointed by the shippers,
but maintained partly by the Gov
ernment, will be located in Winni
peg, Montreal and the Maritimes.
Acting as liasion officials, these-
agents are expected to prove inval-'
Hable in obtaining for the Ontario-
grower better markets and highter“
prices for their produce.
Deforestation Injurious
Deforestation throughout the West
ern Ontario was given as thb reason
for the winter shortage by AV, R.
while Hastings indicates a large a?-
Smith, a London engineer, in an in-
Arresting paper before district town
ship road! superintendents recently.
He declared that too much' land
clearing and too much .draining was
the cause of the ever-increasing, wa
ter famine,. Ten per cent, of the ac
reage of farm lands .should be of
forest to provide a proper water sup
ply, while the percentage in some
counties was as low as one-half of
one per cent. As a result farmers
were cdnipelledf to driVe cattle four
and five miles to water and' to pay a
dollar a barrel for water delivered.
Another danger of deforestation was
the resultant loss of ‘bird life. Birdls,
the “speake? said, were essential to
agriculture. It had been said that if
they were to go on strike but for a
single day, insects would render
farming impossible. The increased
need' for insecticides was a direct
result of bird depopulation.
To Many potatoes
■Before' increasing! their acreage,,
aommericial potato growers should,
study the market outlook, advises J,
A? Carroll of the Crops Co-operatioir
and Markets Branch. He points out
that the price of-potatoes in Ontario'
is conrolled almost entirely by the
size of the North American crop, the
^larger proportion of which is contri--
buted by the United: States, The
1930 U. S. crop totalled about 361,-'
S00,000 bushels. Indications are-
that acreage will be increased t®
Such an extent that an average yield
of 118 bushels would result in A .
total of 434,,.000,000 bushels in 1931F “
with average weather. Prospects,
are that the yield this year will b®
very little^ below that of 1928, Th®
marketing of that crop was disas
trous,
Gnawers should consider very care
fully before increasing their.<a|e>reag®
and concentrate their energy ori get
ting a higher yield per acre. It is
expected that only those witli a low;
cost per bushel will have a profit this
year. .The surest way. to decrease
the- cost per.bushel is-to increase th®,
yield per acre.
In Planting Grass
The fine sebds of grasses and
gumes require a firm soil that is fine
in tilth, and moist. They are very
small in size and|if seeded too deep
ly will produce plants which either
lack in vigour when they emerge
above the ground, or are complete
ly smothered. ' The soil should be
firm so that the' seed! twill not be
bqried too deeply and so that mois
ture will be near the Surface to fa
cilitate the germination Of the small
seeds before the nurse cro.p becomes
sufficiently well established-
smother the small seedlings.

L. H. Newman, Dominion Cerealist,
advises sowing the best seed obtain

ground, letting the crop fully ma

iual. The best stooks should be cov
ered, protected' from the weather,
and the best heads threshed by
means of a flail. The grain then
should be run through. a sieve and
later hand-picked to get the most
uniform seeds, because at a Fair of
