C. Paterson. Each Rotarian has furnished a boy or girl with five young turkeys. Instruc- tions for raising them are given by the Department. Next fall each Rotarian will receive one full-grown turkey as the return on his invest- ment. The aim is to interest Norfolk boys and girls in turkey -raising and to improve the breed of turkeys in this county. Turkey breeding is not the diffi, cult undertaking that is generally supposed when the breeding steck and poults are properly handled. Essentials 10 success in turkey breeding are: clean soil, mature stock for breeding, free range and above all, the keeping of the turkey flock away from other barnyard fowls. INTEREST T� shape and plumpness- of kernel, good weight per measured bushel, he1> freed oh n from ;disease and steeds are the lead- ing considerations. Care in threshing is important, especially in the,ease of barley, as, too close ilhreshing to re- move the, beardsmay spoil,what would otherwise be a prize sample. Barley which' has been threshed so severely as to skin the kernels, or oats which have'.been clipped so as to expose the berry slhiould be avoided.. In order to protect the sheaves dur- ing transits, they should be 'carefully wrapped in heavy ?brown paper and securely tied in boxes of suitable sige. The threshed grain samples should be •delivered in new, clean bags and securely tied.? Labels bearing the ex; hibitor's naine and address, the var- iety name and exhibit entry number "should be placed both inside and out - Threshed • grain is usually judged side the container. An extratag sec - for its fitness for seed purposes, and rarely tied to the exhibit often prevents here size, colour, uniformity in loss and extra trouble. in do th June In The System's History June has been an important month Railways• and the Canadian Pacific the history of the Canadian Na- i Railway on July 1, 1929, in which nal Railways, as will be seen by e following: C�GO F June 1, 1915 -Date on which' the section of the National Transcontin- ental Railway from Quebee'to Win- nipeg, Man., 1356 miles, was put intcl operation as part of the Canadian Government Railways.

Farm Labor The following report from the re- presentative in North Simcoe is rath- er significant: ,"In spite of dozens of men passing through Barrie daily, it has not always been easy to secure men to fill applicaticns for farm. help. A percentage of this floating labor papulation is, of course,, not well qualified for farm work, but on the other hand few of those who have had experience are willing to accept farm work at the general rate of $15 per month." Poison Ivy may be killed with one or two applications of Atlacide or Weed Cop at the rate of 1 pound per gallon of watere per 100 square feet.

The preparation of grain or sheaf exhibit requires both skill and judge- ment. The basis of success however; lies in the choice of materials. The farmer who 'has sown REGISTERED SEED should be in a better position to prodcue good sheaves and thresh- ed grain than the user of ordinary commercial seed. The plants used to. construct the sheaf should consist ?only of the best matured, most uniform and most ty- pical material obtainable. The straw Should be clean, bright and free from •disease. It should be cut with'a sickle and as close to the gound as possible, providing the maximum length.

ROAD HOGS CAUSED 1,069 AUTO ACCIDENTS IN ONTARIO INt 1931 Records of the Motor Vehicles Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways show that in 1981 the most common cause .01 accidents in which the automobile was involved, was middle-of-the-road driving. Life, limb and property are at the mercy of the driver who through ignorance, selfishness or just common carelessness, will not keep to the right of the road. Accidents cannot be blamed upon amateur drivers, as records show that considerably more than half of the drivers concerned in auto accidents last year were between 25 and 54 years old, and more than ninety per cent. of them had been driving for a year or more. CHILD GAVE RIGHT ANSWER Grown-up symbols are so taken for granted that no one takes the trouble to explain them to children. It seems that every one must know what the ordinary abbreviations mean, an:d the elders are so used to them that they assume childeen are born with the knowledge of W. for West, F. 0. B. or the signs for dollars and cents. Some ono who gets up general knowledge tests for children of vafi" ous ago groups included in one foe 6-year-cids a question on a!bbrevia, tions: "Tf your mother is shopping and finds she has left her purse at home, ehe may ask the shopkeeper tc send the parcel C.O.D. What do these• initials mean?" A little boy whose earnestness is vouched for by Tho Manchester Guar- dian 'Weekly answer seriously: "Care of Daddy." THEN HOW ABOUT IT? "Hurry up, mum!" implored the English train guard of the very stout lady struggling to enter a narrow carriage door. "Train's late now. Get in e.dgeways, mussus-get in edgeways!" Perspiring, flurried and worried, she of the large bulk paused in her endeavors and glared backward with indignation. "Wot if I ain't got no edge?" she snapped. -Santa Fe Magazine, CSC RE -UNION OF TWO BROTHERS SEPARATED FOR 25 YEARS Jasper Park Lodge, Alta., June 17 -Twenty five years ago, two bra- thers parted in a small Surrey town n England, one to homestead in Canada, the •other to join the Angli- can -Church in India.

DINOSAUR FOOTPRINT FORMS BATH FOR BIRDS OTTAWA, June 18. -Ottawa may claim to having the most unique bird bath in Canada. One of the large dinosaur footprints found at Peace River, collected for the National Museum of Canada, has been duplicated in cement. It has a length of more than two feet and a depth of five or six inches, and has been placed in the museum grounds. The birds of the capital now may enjoy the privilege of a morning dip in the unique bathtub molded from the footprint of a dinosaur made in the mud of a shallow Western lake long before the Rocky Mountains arose above the plains. That reply is close enough to the accurate answer to satisfy any parent. If all children pick up the essential meaning of abbreviations so well, they need not bother with the actual words signified.-lbew York Times. THE ROAD TO LITTLENESS Occasionally a merchant decides that he ought to "save" a part ?of his advertising expense, so he drops his advertising for a time, or reduces his accustomed space. If he were advised that he could ' also save money by closing his store door for a few days or weeks, or through discharging his clerical force or by moving into quarters half as large, he would scoff such advice. Yet such course would be exactly on par, as a business policy, with that of dropping out of the procession as an advertiser. The merchant who bas • the courage to increase 'his advertis- ing when "the pinch" of poor busi- ness conies is the merchant who de- serves to win -and who does win. He avoids "the road to littleness." - Exchange. IT'S UP TO YOU Every employee pays for superin- tending and inspection. Some pay more and some less. That is to say, a dollar -a -day man would recieve two dollars a day were it not for the fact that someone has to think for him, look after hint, and supply the will that holds him to his task. The result is that he cont'r'ibutes to the support of those who superintend stint.
