The Clinton News Record, 1932-05-05, Page 6WAGE G THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD THURS., MAX a, 1932 for the ' lInformation r Tlne Busy Farmer ( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture ) 1 Judging by the crop of early lambs the past winter' has suited the flock. In many flocks there is an average of two lambs to a ewe, or 200 !per- cent increase,.. The pleasing feature ` is that ..ljbe lambs seem paTticul- arly strong. Pig's are rapid, growers if well and properly fed.• But they require plenty of nourishment tc snake vig- orous growth. It is a good plan to have the young pigs eating before weaning so• as to avoid a setback. If growth is: slowed up at any stage a loss is probable, •especially at the low price of hogs. Grain alone will not give rapid development• When To Plant Garden Seed A timely suggestion with respect to the planting of the one vege- table garden is that the hardy seeds should be sown as early as weather and soil conditions will permit. Smooth co: dimpled peas, onion, rad- ish, lettuce and spinach can be sown as soon as the soil has dried enough to permit working without injury to the texture. Beet, carrot, parsnip and wrinkled peas may follow, .with beans and other tender crops sown or planted after the danger of freezing is past. When to Apply Lime A test of the soil should be made to make sure that it requires lime. If thesoil proves to be acid then the gnawer to the question when to apply lime might be "when you have time." Lime is for the benefit of all crops in the rotation, but particularly of benefit to legumes. The best time is possibly just before sowing a grain crap that is seeded down with alf- alfa or clovers. Liming land plowed for fall wheat which is to be seeded with clover in the spring is a con- venient and satisfactory practice. Lime is not a fertilizer, but simply neutralizes the acidity of the soil, and should be thoroughly worked in- to the soil during the preparation of a seed_ bed to become efficient. It is poor business to farm land that is lacking in lime and strongly acid in reaction. The productive power of the soil is reduced when it be- comes acid. Correcting this condi- tion with the use of ground lime- stone increases the efficiency of the manures and fertilizers applied and therefore contributes to the cutting down of costs of erep production. Interesting Publications Among publications recently issued of interest to farmers are the follow- ing: Report of the Ontario Veterin- ary College, 1931; 53rd annual report of the Agricultural and Experimental Union, 1931; and a (bulletin on the subject of Draft Horses, by J. C. Steckley, Professor of Animal Ilus, bandey, and 11. W. Staples, -Lecturer in Animal I]lusband y, at O.A.0 Copies oe these publications are ob- tainable free upon application to your local agricultural office. Feeding Young Chicks Tests made at the Central Experi- mental Farms, Ottawa, have shown that better results are attained by feeding chicks early than by the methods of delayed feeding fOrtnerly in vogue. The following is a chicle starter, that has given excellent re• sults at the farni: 1 part shorts,. part middlings, 1 part grouts yellow corn, 1 part. ground groats, 1-2 part animal feed mixture, 3 per cent. salt, 1 per cent. cod Iiver oiI. The animal feed mixture used is Madeup of equal parts ground heel scrap., fish meal and milk powder.- When owderWhen liquid milk can be had the milk powder is omitted. Hoppers of chick grit, oyster shell and charcoal are hung at a convenient height on the walls. - Weekly Crop Report Seeding operations in Ontario are in progress from as far west as Rainy River to Glengarry Count- in the. east. Reports from the Agri- cultural Representatives would :indi- cate that the land is working up in a _ very friable condition. Pall . wheat is reported in excellent condition and the majority of counties report Red Clover and Alfalfa having . Withstood the winter much better than was an- ticipated. Sweet elover seems to have fared the worst and many cases of heaving ere reported. Cheese fac- tories are opening me .and farmers sire anxious to get their cattle out on grass as feed is getting scarce. Prices for hogs, eggs,' butter -fat and lambs are very disappointing. Or- chards are looking well with a good- ly number of fruit buds in those er- chards where fertilizing is an estab- lished practice. Wellington County seems to be typical of the general attitude in regard to *alfalfa, as it looks as, if 12,000 acres will be seed- ed to alfalfa in that county this spring.. Alfalfa Now Sixth Alfalfa now stands sixth in area among all field crops grown in the Province of Ontario, and occupies about 650,000 acres. According to James Laughland, Field Husbandry Department, O.A:C., Guelph, the _great increase in this crop during the last 20 years has been due to the development of barely strains along with the outstanding merits of alfalfa as a forage crop. Being a hardy deep-rooted perennial legume alfalfa improves the texture of the crop, adds humus, and aids in the storing of nitrates. It begins to grow early in spring, helps to con- trol weeds and remains green throughout the season. Honte Surroundings Count "We are influenced to a greater extent than we realize by our sur- roundings' observes P. C. Nunnick, chairihan of the More Beautiful Can- ada Campaign Committee' :of the Canadian Horticultural Council. As he points out "children are partic- ularly responsive to home surround- ings and where these include lawns, shrubs, trees and flowers they make a much better place in which to bring up children than in a home where no attention whatever is paid to these friends of the plant king- dom." Environment is an important fac- tor with children. The constant contact with the beautiful things of nature which well-kept•hoine ground: affords is too important in the wel- fare of the home and the child to be overlooked. Cow Testing Ontario has .22 per cent. of its cows under test; New Zealand has • 19.7 per cent. of its caws under test. The following figures show a remarkable increase in eow testing in New Zea- land: 19`22 23 1923-24 1924-25 1925-20 1926-27 1927-28 7928-29 1929-30 84,825 cows 152,214 cows 190.850 cows 169,770 cows 170,150 cows 224,130 cows 250,594 caws 283,731 Cows It has been estimated 'that in the last ten years the average produc- tion of butter fat in New Zealand has increased by 50 pounds per cow. Here in Ontario our dairy farmers are not eow testing to any great - ex- tent, herd improvement has not been very rapid and it seems snore thar desirable that Ontario farmers should. weigh the milk from individual cows, have it tested for butter fat -thus being able to eliminate poor produc- ers, in older to compete with New Zealand or any other country that follows a system of scientifie im- provement. Crossbreds vs. Pure- breds in Producing Market Hogs With the abject in view of idetele reining the comparative economy of pork production between pureJbred hogs of the Yorkhsire, Tamwtortle Berkshire and Duoc-Jersey breeds and the respective crosses of the same breeds, six tests have been con- ducted, over a period of five years, at the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Lacombe, Alberta. For this purpose the following hogs were us- ed in the trials: 68 pure -.bred ;York- shires, 44 pure-bred Berlcshires, 28 purebred Tamwoilthe, 20 pntrebred Duroe-Jerseys, 17 Yorkshire -.Tam- worth crossbreds, 12 Yorkshire -Dur- oe-Jersey-leross-hreds4 11 Berkshire Duroe-Jersey cross -:breis, 9 Beik- shice,Tainwerth cross-breds, and 9 TamwbntlhrBerkshare clross,breds, malting a total of 160 pure-breds and 58 cross -breis fed. The comparison of breeds as economic producers was studied' at the same time, which ac- counted for there being only a com- paratively small number of cross- bred pigs used. In selecting ,hogs foe the experi- ment an endeavour was made to ob- tain • hogs of fairly uniform size and at the same time obtain lots of as nearly the sameblood lines as pos- .sible. There was some variation in the ago of the respective 'lots, which was unavoidable. Basedon the five year average, the results of this testi show the cross- bred pigs to make an average, daily gain per head of 1.113 pounds as con- tiasted with. 1.023 pounds on the part of the purebreds, or an in crease of over 11 per cent in favour of cross -breeding. Its "meal required to produce 100 pounds, of gain" there is a marked difference. in favour of the Cross- bred pigs, the average showing a saving of 34 pounds of meal on, the dross -bred lots over the purebred for every 100 pounds of gain pro - NTEREST • dulled. • FAR S think we are true we must be true.' Coming to the cost pee' hundred pounds gain,again the p rads here.h cross- bred lots ;make the better showing, with an average for all lots of 55 cents per hundred pounds again in favour of the 'cross -:bred lots. While the Bross -bred pigs clearly excelled- those of pure breeding it must be kept in mind that it takes pure-breds on both sides of the pedi- gree in order •ta gain whatever ben- efits ntay accrue from the cross- breeding process. In order to ob- tain the best results in cross -breed ing, outstanding !individuals muse be secured . for foundation- stock of the breed's it is proposed to cross, The progeny of cross -bred litters should be for market purposes only, and should never under any 'einem! stances be retained for breeding purposes.—B:.

She said the older the happier we should he if we put the days of our youth to good use. She stated that we were not responsible so much for our features and coin- plexions but we were responsible for developing a Christ -like charac- ter that will radiate in our faces. in a very beautiful way we can re- new our youth and succeed where we have failed. It is by lending the youth of today, she said. She said that every young woman needs the friendship of an older woman and just as much does every older woman i need the friendship of a young wo- man. The future of the youth in our church will be just what we, who are ,older snake it, she stated. She said that we talk much of in- vestments; but that there was no 'investment that paid suhc large, such lasting dividends as that invested in young life. "How much time, love and prayer, have you been invest- ing?" she asked. She said that Iack of leadership does not mean lack' of ability, • but rather a leek of consecration. If the ' young people are to ibe save$, she said, we must spend ourselves. She quoted Dr. Jones as saying that the happiest people in the world today are those who are giving and sacrificing for others; the unhappiest those who are just trying to have a good time. She said that if woven wanted real lasting thrills Iet them link themsel- ves up with the Kingdom of God movement She said that it will not •COIST but it will pay. We will live on and on, if we unload the treasures of our lives into the lives of the youth. Sne urged!. all to re member that .:nothing is not great with God and that nothing is :great without (God. If we want people to • Youth toddy needs a little less briti- cinn and a little more example. She said that one quality a leader requir- ed was tact and defined it as -"some- thing that if ,you ain't got it every- bely knows it-but,if you have got it nobody notices it." She said let us accept the challenge that youth brings us and train them for the work of the church. A solo by Mrs. Wilford was beau- tifully rendered. Miss Sybil Cour- tee of Japan in her address helped all to understand more clearly just what has caused the situation in ,the fax east. She said that there can- not he world peace until there is economic justice on a world scale. And yet there ars many devoted peo- ple praying for .peace in Japan, There are 65 million people in less area than Manitoba andthe popula- tion -increased one million last year. Three quarters of the people only have half enough to live ori. Over 2722 people must le fed by what is grown an each square mile of land. But the Japanese people are proud, she said, and do not -want th world to know their poverty. In telling of the work being done by the WAILS. in Japan she said that little could be done without their schools because all the evangelistic workers come from' these schools. She asked that we all think of and pray for Japan. The nominating committee for next year was appointed as follows: Miss Mtirray, of Exeter; Mrs. Wellwood, Wingham; Mr's. Robb, 'Centralia; Mrs. Cummings, of Walton; .

Judgement Reserved in Huron Township Case GODLRICH, April 28.—In Supreme Court here today Justice Raney re- served judgment and requested writ- ten argument of counsel its the claim of $2,800 of George H. Ray and 10 other farmers of Huron Township, near Kineardiee,:against R. H. Har- ris, Samuel L. McClelland and six other directors of the Kincardine Packing Company, Limited, and a- gainst the company, nccv defunct, itself. Two score or more of wit- nesses and -interested parties from Bruce County were present at the hearing, which Lasted the entire day. The plaintiffs are shareholders of the defunct packing company. They charged that there was misrepresen- tation made to thein in the sale of the stock, that the Companies Act had not been complied with in the organization, that no prospectus was ever issued, nor annual Meetings held, no statements ever issued, and that the company did not legally go into liquidation, They seek to recover from the directors personally. William Brown, Jr., who subscribed for two shares ($200) testified that' John Reid .and Robert Wilson; two of the directors; came to his farm about,, 1Vlarch 30, 1928, and explained that they, with Roy Avery, James Shields and Bert Heresy had .pruehased the Kincardine Packing Company and were selling stock in a limited liabil- ity company which was to take it ever. ' Reid Did; Ail The. Talking "I have known these felloiws all my life," said Brown. "Reid did most. of the talking. Ile. tali -me he lmd ex- aminee :the books of :the company personally and that the lowest profit 'in any year was nine per cent. and often more, He. said each of the di- rectors would stand behind each sale of stock and repay on demand 5105 back for every 8100 invested. They sold me preferred' stook, bearing seven per cent. interest_ and told me they had taken up all the common stock :themselves.' It developed that $60,000 worth of stock was authorized, of which 530,- 000 was common and a like amount preferred. Messrs, Harris and Mc- Clelland, who operated the Kincardine. Packing Company !before it became a limited liability company, received $17,000 cash from the proceeds of -the sale of the preferred stock, and the balance of the pruchase price in coin, mon stock. 'They continued as di- rectors in the Kincardine Packing Company, Limited, which paid twd dividends -sof $7 per share and went into liquid'ati'on January, 1931. Claim Voting Irregular Other plaintiff witnesses gave much the sanie evidence. They said they withdrew from the winding -up meeting because R. J. Stewart was named chairman when he was not even a shareholder, and because the voting was irregular. John D. Law, of the provincial sec- retary's department, testified that while no prospectus of the company had ever been filed, a statement in lieu of a prospectus had been on March 31, 1928. The charter was surrendered on October 7, 1931. Defense testimony was that the company had been properly and leg- ally organized, that there was no misrepresentation, that the company was the victim of the depression and that the directors had personally in- dorsed 525,000 worth of paper and were still liable for it. The plaintiffs are George H. Ray, Wesley Thompson, J. 11. Beatty, Ebert Chaplin, W. L. Bell, William Brown, Jr., Joseph Smeltzer, John Smeltzer, Thomas Ray and Sarah Beatty. The directors sued individually and as officers of the company are R. Id. ','Parris, John Id.. Reid, Roy W. Avery, Robert S. Wilson, Samuel L. McClel- land, Nellie McClelland and John R. MacKay. HONEYMOON RATES CREATE NEW VOGUE Each year young people show great er interest in Bermuda and the Bri- tish West Indies as honeymoou hauhts. Formerly the West Indies were regarded as winter reports pure- ly, but now the Canadian and Ameri- can publics are recognizing the sun- ny islands as excellent stunner play- grounds, said Thomas Cree, Passen- ger Traffie Manager of the Canadian National Steamships, in a recent discussion. bitr. Cree said he'd give no names, but that numerous young people have been inquiring about the West Indies, He attributed this recent increased interest to the fact that the Canadian Naional has accorded a ten per cent reduction its fare for honeymoon couples. The honeymoon reduction is independent of the gen- eral 10 per cent reduction applying this year on the Montreal Bermuda West Indies route.
