INTERNATIONAL SILVER CO. r— C.^.1•1ADA, LTD., W. N. Counter I "MR CANADA"‘RET1RES To thousands of hunters and fishermen and just plain tourists, Ernie Poole has been synonymous with Canada for more than twenty years. His work as General Tourist apd Convention Agent for the Canadian National Railways, which he is now relinquishing to go on pension, made him familiar to tourists and sportsmen throughout North America as one of the Most knowing guides to hunting and fishing places in Canada. To his wide experi- ence of the country and its wild life he added an intimate knowledge of men, and, as one magazine put it, he is the ''possessor of one of those personalities that makes it possible for him to fit in perfectly at some lonely campfire or at the heed table in a great hotel in one of our biggest cities." Not only did Erne come to know Canada as intimately as he did his favorite fly -book, but he has had a hand in malting it—for the sportsman. lie has been responsible for stocking many a lake and stream with fighting fish, for opening up new territories and improving facilities such as trails and bridges. URGES FARMERS. PRODUCE QUALITY HOGS FOR BRITAI Huron County farmers are produ log good quality 'hogs for the Briti Bacon market, accovdin.g to Gerald Nelson, Clinton, assistant agricultur representative for Huron County. "Recently we have had severe interesting hog carcass demonstration meetings in four sections of the County. These meetings have been well attended and it has been gratify- ing to the County Hog Couamittee who, through co-aperation with the Ontario Hog Producers and Domin- in Departments of Agriculture, have made these meetings possible. To see the fannees taking such keen in- terest in these demonstrations shows that they are giving more thought and concern to their own industry. This, after ell, is what the farmers muet do in order to help hold the British bacon market, "Quality and continuity of supply are two major factors in the holding of this market. We cannot say too much about production for, although our present output has fallen off badlY, the ,production during war years was fairly well inamtamed• Quality, on the other ham!, leaves much to be desired when we consider that up to the present time this year, about 32.1% of hogs marketed in Canada are Grade A. rtilA cemparecl to the Danish pre-war figure of 90% Grade A. gives rise to stiff compet ion, "Huron County- is producing 40e Grade A's, To produce a Grade A carcass, it is imperative that a farm er has the ,proper type to begin with that he feeds a properly balaneet ration throughout the growing and finishing periods and that he mark ets the live hog as close to 200 pounds as possible. WESTERN ONTARIO LED PROVINCE IN 1946 YIELD Western Ontario farmers kne e- sh this year that their crops weregood . figures prepared by the Ontario De a. p rtment of Agriculture help to meas- ure how good. eif comparison of the yields per 1 acre of several craps, in the five re gions of the province, shows that th Western Ontario region had highe yields in 1946 of spring wheat, bar ley, flax seed, husking corn, peas fodder corn, and dry beans than any of the other four regions. The West ern Ontario region includes Bruce Dufferin, Grey, Helton, Huron, Peel Perth, Waterloo, and Wellingtoi counties, • Central Ontario showed the best yields per RCS of *all wheat, hay and clover; ,Southern Ontario led in yield per acre of oats, fall rye, buckwheat, , and potatoes; Eastern and Northern Ontario trailed behind the , other three regions in nearly all classes of field crop, Yields generally were better than in 1945, although the crops were less abundant this year than last Year in flax seed, hay, clover, alfalfa, mid soy beans. Butter Production Higher In November Than 1945 PAGE WEN ,WN • NEWSY PLAN CONFERENCE OF RURAL YOUTH ON FARM PROBLEMS At a meeting of the directors of the Junior Section, Ontario Federa- tion of Apiculture and executive of the Ontario Junior Farmer Associa- tion, elaborate plane were drawn up for the Rural Youth Conference vVhieh will he a feature of the annual con- vention of the Federation in January, 1947. The Rural Youth Day has been fixed for January 8, and the pro- gramme as approved by the joint committee provides for maximum participation in the discussions by the 'Young people themselves. During the summer, a number of delegates attended 4 -II Club confer- ences in Michigan, New York and West Virginia. As a result of these visite, there will be on the program a panel discussion en ideas gleaned from youth activities in these States visited by the Junior Farmers. Two of the subects to be discussed in addresses and dismission groups will be the keeping of farm accounts, and partnership arrangenients be. tween parents and sons and daughters of the farm. It io hoped that a panel discussion can be arranged with two fathers and two or three young people illustrating the value of such part- nership agreements from actual ex- perience. The climax of the conference will come in the evening with the finals in the Provincial Junior Farmer Pub- lic Speaking Contest, in which the five winners of the Zone elimination contests will take part. There will also he a pvogrannne of the whining amateur entertainment numbers in the zone competitions, followed by a play party. The conference is to be held in the 5, Ring Edward Hotel, Toronto, and it is expected that hundreds of rural youth organization delegates will be present to take part in the program and deliberations. URGED TO START CHICKS FOUR TO e SIX WEEKS EARLIER Ontario farmers are urged by the ' provincial department of a.griculture to start their 1947 chicks from four to six weeks earlier than usual, so as to have pullets laying eggs for ' Britain next September. Dr. P. N. Plarcellus, head of the department of poultry at Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, em- phasized 'that a bigger poultry popu- lation was the last thing wanted hi the face of the present critical feed situation. What was delved, he said, was that chick purchasers take earl- ier clelivery of birds to supply the 1,000,000 cases of eggs xequired by the United Kingdom, and possibly an additional 500,000 eases. Ontario farmers had a vital eespom. sibility in this matter, he said, as this province supplied almost 5.0 per cent of the eggs filling present export contracts. J. A. Peacock, director of egg supplies 'for the liritish Food Ministry, had stated during a recent visit to Canada that a larger propor- tion et eggs must be supplied iron). fresh receipts in the fall if furthev contracts beyond ' 1948 are to be negotiated. "This meane highev fall prodttetion by Canadian ;flocks," said Dr. Min -cel - his, "otherwise a large part of the present export demand will disappear and the industry will be faced with a 25 to 30 per cent cut in poultry population. It is simply a case of every One possible starting their hicks earlier, so that allowing six months to grow, the pullets will be ready to lay next September. Grow- ers. should. remember that one Febru- ary -hatched bird properly reared will more than equal three hatched in June, receiving equal care, in filling the fall egg centred," WANT PLOWING MATCH Brantford County Plowmen's As- sociation decided at its amnia] meet- ing to support Brant County Council and other organizations in endeavor- ing to have the International Plewing match for 1948 held in Brant County. It was held at Port Alpert, Huron CounitY, in Oetober 1946, and will be held near Kingston, Frontenac Comity, in 1047. For the first time in a year November butter productmn in On- tario showed an increase over the corresponding month in 1045, C. E. Laekner, director of the dairy branch - 'or Ontario, reports in his monthly, summarsr of creamery instructors' re - 1 ports. The increase, which was ap- proximately 5 per cent, boosted the - monthly production to around 4,000,000 pounds, Mr. Lackner emphasized, however, that owing to the declining produc- tion during. the past 12 months, the November increase does not help the stock supply very materially. A number of factors are cited Tor the November increase. The mild fall weather , which permitted the pastur- ing of dairy cattle throughout the month is considered to be the Prin- cipal reason, however. Advocates Increased "Many farmers buy weanling pigs to feed . mid if they cannot procure good .breeding stock to begin with, they cannot turn out a very large percentage of top grade carcasses. A number of good hogs go wrong as a result of improper feeding methods, such as feedireg too heavy -feeds dur- ing the growing period and forget- ting about the protein content of the ration, During a pig's life this is the most criticai period and it is dur- ing this akeriod that considerable pro - bus required for bone and body development. Approidmately 20 per cent protein in the ration is required at this stage of growth and this amount can be lessened as the hog grows older with more barley and wheat being used and the quantity of oats leseenecl. "It also is advisable to practice creep feeding while the little pigs are still on the sow, getting them accustomed to a solid ration befoke they are weaned. A mixture of sifted oats or wheat middlings and skiminillt if available, is quite satisfactory. This practice gives the little pigs a good start in .growth and development and greatly reduces the ,hazards of diges- tive distuthances and general set- backs, which oTten occur if the little pip consume too much fibre, such as coarse grain, oat hulls, and straw or hay. This condition seems to be commie today and in some cases heavy losses are sustained which could otherwise be avoided. Storing Tractor "A, tractor is quite elmilar to a car and whether operated Or not in win- ter, still requires special attention ov serious damage may result to the engine. lif the tractor is being op- erated about the :farm during the winter, the radiator should he drained and flushed, then filled with the re• quirecl amount of antifreeze. •Tho ,differentiall, transmission and final drive should be likewise drained and flushed and refilled with .a. Winter grade gear oil. A sludge ;forming in the tractor erank case oil is a danger signal and can .cause vapid engine wear unless drained, flushed and fil- led witha winter grade engine nil. The battery should be fully charged and the spark plugs gapped in order to prevent freezang .and splitting open of the batteey. Shuttera or seine eype of protection covering the radiator will help to bring up the engine heat and keep the engine at normal o,perat. ing temp,evature. Because of the dan- ger .of eltieging, the engine oil seteuld be changed more oeten in cold weath- er and alsoprecautions taken against water condensing in the cold crank case and mixing with the oil. "If ,storing the tractor for whiter, the epee* plugs should be removed and about a hake ettp of engine oil poured bite each cyclinder, Tarn the engine over 'several timesby hand to work the ,oil in between the pistons and the eyelinclers and eeplace the plugs, . Covering the exhaust and crankcase breather pipe with tar paper or other watersproof mkerial, prevents moist 'air d'rMn, entering and rusting the engine. The battery should be removed and .stored in a warm place, and if the tractov is on rubber, the Wheels should be block- ed' up so no weight 10 on the tires.' Prices for Milk Supply "If the dairy fanners of Canada are cliscotwaged much mote, there will be a, =eh more senous short- age than we have ever had," declared Harry Scott, Norwich, president, On- tario Concentrated Milk Producers' Associarkton, at the annual meeting of the London assodation in the On - tali° Department ef A.grieulture offices. Mr. Scott said that the only factor that has kept daieyIng up to its present level has been the hope among dairymen to sell choice cows on the American market. Maikaining that concentrated milk products, cheese and butterfat prices must be raised, and that milk is now being produced at "far below the cost of production," Mr. .Scott pre- dicted that unless apiculture receives its "fair share of the national in-. come," national economy' cannot be maintained and the country will be involved in amother dePreesion.
