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

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

Mrs. J. H. Rush, T.W.A. and Cir-
cle Secretary of the Dominion Board
brought a message on the Challenge
of Youth. 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; . Mrs.
Gowdy, of Salem; Mrs. McDonald of
Westfield; Mrs. Grey, of Goderich;
Miss Murray, as convener of the re-
solution and courtesy committee
brought in several excellent resolu-
tions. A beautiful memorial service
for those who have passed an, was
conducted by Mrs. Hamilton of God-
erich and Mrs. Wilson of Wingham,
and a representative from each of
the four sections. A beautiful lily
was placed in the basket of pink ear -
nations in memory .of Mrs. Hogg,
Mks. Hetherington of Goelerieli; dos-
ed the meeting with prayer.

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.
