DISTRIBUTING OF TREES The Agriculture Committee of Huron County Council met on Weds. nesday last to consider the problem of the distribution of trees for plant- ing throughout the County, The County Council have, in the last few ."years, organized the distri- bution of trees 'throughout the County, Although many thousands have been planted, the need. seems to be as great as ever. It is the desire of the Com- mittee to have at least half a million trees planted throughout the County this year. - In organizing this year's distribution, it was felt that the best medium of placing trees was through the schools. The teachers have been asked to ac- cept the orders for trees and the Council has agreed to deliver the trees direct from the car to the schools at The Farm Forum of S.S. No. 9, East Wawanosh met at the home of Elmer Ireland with an attendance of 15. The discussion on the subject "Should Producers Control. Market- ing" was very interesting. We agreed that commodities such as eggs, poul- try and cattle should be covered by a provincial marketing scheme. We feel that national and provincial con- trol of marketing was. of the greatest advantage to the farmer. A social hour was spent playing progressive euchre* The next meeting will be held at the home of Lorne Scott on March 6th, There will be no meeting next week. PREPARE BROODER FOR CHICK'S ARRIVALT • Careful preparation for the brooding season is one of the first essentials to success in rearing chicks, says R„ Hopper, Dominion Experimental. Farm, Brandon, Man. The first step in this connection should be to make necessary repairs and thoroughly to clean the building used for brooding. NE RaGAIN CHICK STARTER Baby Chicks need Fresh Feed.

They often do anyway, I only wish I could have been at a nice Christmas service in; a church some- where. I do miss going to church very much. They have church as often as they can but it isn't very often. My nerves are not too hot since this last time I was in the lines, I often have to hold myself from diving under the bed. It sure gets you somehow, However I feel a lot better than I did and I'll be going out again soon I hope. Thee sun is trying hard to shine through the haze all day and some- times gets itself out. I wish I could get up as high as it is then I could see you all right now. However things aren't so bad I guess.

Bodmin Forum Discussed Marketing The Bodiniti Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Craw- ford with 23 present. The topic for the evening was "Should Producers Control Marketing" No members of the Forum belong to a growers' or producers' marketing association. No one specialized in any particular pro- duct. It was thought that 'over a period of time the producer controlled marketing would benefit the farmer. Many of the members thought that a national marketing control with co- operative producer and consumer as- sociations would be an advantage to the farmer. The next meeting is to be held at the honie. of Mr. Robert Procter with Mrs. R. 3. McKenzie and Gordon Wilkinson tote the recreational com- mittee, 6th Line Farm Forum The 6th line Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Cook on Monday evening, with an at- tendance of 24. Sam Morton acted as convenor. The discussion was on the Producer's. Marketing Association, We found it difficult to answer the first two questions as there are no organis- ations of this kind in the district. In answer to question three we think that contracts made between the Canadian Government and other, governments concerned would be the best method whereby the Canadian farmer could help feed the nations who will' require food in the post war period. Bruce Scott reviewed the book "The Plow- man's Folly". Jack Cook and Bill Nethery conducted games. Lunch was served. The next meeting will be the home of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Taylor.

DEPENDENTS FAWN TO SEEK GRATUITIES have all orders in. the hands of the Public School Inspectors by March 14th and the trees will be delivered at the most suitable time. Any person who may find it more convenient to place orders with the Agricultural Representative at Clinton or the County Clerk at Goderich may do so; providing they are received not later than March 17th. These orders will also be delivered to the School Section with the other orders. EAST WAWANOSH no cost to any person so ordering, Any person desirous of procuring trees should get an application form from the teacher in your School Sec- tion. It has been arranged with the De- partment that individual orders of 500 or more trees will be packed sep- arately and delivered to the schools the same as other orders. The teachers have been requested to vance of the time it will be needed. The doors and windows should be- checked and made draught-proof. To- remove all accumulated filth that could provide a source of infection to the chicks, the interior of the building' should be cleaned and well scrubbed. with a solution of lye and water. At worn down houSe broom makes an. excellent brush for scrubbing. When. the surfaces are dry they 'should be sprayed with aood disinfecta t The n application of a coat of whitewash brightens the interior and is also good sanitary precaution. If white wash is used the disinfectant can be mixed with it and applied at the same time. The equipment such as feeders and' drinking fountains, should also be cleaned and made ready for use. , The equipment should be checked early in the season and any needed re- pairs ordered well in advance of when they will be needed. Stove pipes should be checked for rusted spots and. necessary replacements made. A damper should be installed in the length of pipe nearest the stove. , Brooder stoves are equipped with. thermostats for controlling the check draught. These should be tested to make sure they are working satisfac- torily. This can be done by placing them in hot water and observing if they expand. Thermostats that do not expand are useless. The stove should be set up and operated for several days in advance of the arrival of the chicks.. This ensures the house being thorough- ly warmed and permits the operator - to become accustomed to the stoking and regulating of draughts for temper- ature control. It is a good plan to suspend a thermometer at the edge of the hoover so that the bulb is about two inches from the floor. A temper- ature of about 95 degrees F. should be maintained at this point during the first week of brooding. To prevent floor draughts, it is a good precaution to bank the brooder house on the outside to a depth of about two feet. A well constructed, draught-proof building is the most to heat and the easiest 'tee maintain at a suitable temperature.. Fuel for brooding purposes, like re- pairs, should be secured well in ad-
