The Clinton News Record, 1930-06-19, Page 61 sir How Have alley ol ers enefited LXLNCE 1920 The Ontario Equitable has paid to Benefici- aries of Policyholders who have died a total of $1,064,532.20 of insurance proceeds. In addition to these Death Claim and Double Indemnity payments, we .have paid to living Policyholders the sum of $662,283.94, representing Cash Surrender Values, Disability Claim payments and Matured Endowments. The total of all payments to Beneficiaries and living Policy- holders was $1,726,816.14 up to December 31, 1929—an amount which unquestionably contributed materially to -the well-being of thousands of people. Apart from payments already made, over $52,000,000 is provided for by contracts outstanding for future payment. To fulfill these contracts the Company has already set aside as a sort of. sinking fund to be increased scientifically from year to year, statutory Policy Reserves d $5,547,000. And back of all this is an additional fund in the Company's Capital and Sur- a plus of $1,000,000. Summed up, all this means that The Ontario Equitable is ' playing an important protective role. We emphasize,one side 'of an agent's work in securing applications and collecting premiums. But the other side of his work is the one which justifies his profession—the side disclosed when as a messenger of help and comforihe delivers to wives and children the financial means of relief and independence.

'Use Ontario Farm Products "Use more Ontario farm products" was the partial solution of the unem- ployment situation as offered by J. B. FairBairn•, the new deputy -minis- ter of agi iculture, at a meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association in Toronto recently. "In so far as urban munieipalitjes help to use On - talo farm products, just so far will they help to alleviate unemployment." Mr. Fairbairn I sand. "Should we not wake up to the fact that we are producing farm products equal to any' we import and that we should grow and use more of them " Although'a general depression in agriculture was evidenced throughout :the World, Mr. 1'airbairn'stated that conditions in Ontario were infinitely better than in any other :country. He also saw evidence of improvement in many ex- port markets, pointing out that the Norwegian market offered an oppor- tunity for Ontario apples. Best Tinte For Dipping 'About a month after shearing, 'when the sheep have grown sufficient wool to hold the dipping solution, is the proper time for dipping, and all GLYCERIN MIX REMOVES CAUSES OF STOMACH GAS Simple glycerin, buckthorn bark, saline,._ etc., as mixed in Adlerika, acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing poisons you never ethought were there and which caused gas and other stomach trouble.

Holmes, Druggist. authorities agree that if the operat- ion is to be successful, it is essential that every animal in the flock from the young lambs to the oldest- ram must have his annual bath. If any individuals are overlooked, the exter- nal parasites on these will soon in- fest the whole .flock again. The job of.dipping sheep is quite a simple one in most parts of the country: today. In many cases gov mnment officials= have co-operated with local groups of farmers and put in modern concrete tanks through which hundreds of sheep may be pas- sed in a 'few hours. Then, toa, it is possible to buy a dip in powder form. which only requires the careful fol- lowing of directions to make a selu- tion which- will not only kill all the developed ticks but is strong, enough to last and kill any avihrch night hatch from eggs within three weeks,. Dipping should be done slowly and carefully and every part of the anim- al must be imaniersed• It is well to let the sheep dry in the shade as slew drying prolongs the action of the dip. • The Farmer's Problems "Wie are as yet in the schoolboy stage in regard to intensive agricul- ture in Ontario" was a remark re- cently heard. Nature richly endowed. the soil of Ontario but there are parts where the response is not quite so brisk as formerly. There; must be as much returned, to the soil as is re- moved in crops if continued bumper yields are to be harvested. The question to decide on each farm is, what is required and how may it most advantageously be applied: The farms marrying a heavy stock are in the best heart but here the question of how to make the 'best use of the feed grown comes up for considera- tion. i • New Lecturer in Horticulture Mr. John' F.

I Current drop Report Reports of an optimistic • nature have been received 'during the past few days from no less than 82" agri- cultural representatives in .varies 'dis- triets throughout the province; Di-' spite the fact that some injury was Mused by cold weather in the latter part of May and growth was retarded in some sections because of lack of moisture, the generaltheme of these reports refleets the promisle of abund- ant crops in a general way over the province. Recent rains have brought the meadows and pastures on rapidly Alfalfa, clover and hay promise splendid cropsin themajority of in- stances. Fall wheat is showing excel- lent growth in most localities. Live- stock is showing rapid improvement' since going on the grass. Early strawberries .suffered 'by reason of the early frost, but other fruits in meet counties. are in a : satisfactory condition. Considering the' vagaries of the weather during the past two months, the situation throughout On- tario is very encouraging. Time to Repair Barn The best time to do any of the nbeded repair work on the barn .or buildings is in the late spring or early summer, The hay mows are then,enipty so that sills can be renew- ed, posts moved if. desired, changes made in windows and doors, ventil- ating flues installed, and other need- ed equipment put M. 'laving things handy around the barn is a great advantage in saving time, Danger in Fenced Fields One . af the greatest dangers on farms with many fenced fields is of piling up too many furrows against the fences. On some farms this has been pralctised for so long that em- bankments half as high as the fence are around some fields. Persistent back -furrowing here and there will bring such land into shape after a time. One rule should be never to plow a field the same way twice in succession. Wlith the proper laying out and handling of "lands" it is pos- sible to keep fields free from object- ionable "dead furrow's" and ridges. It is the matter of having the shape of the land in mind all the time. Annual O. A. C.

The post office, as a matter of history, is an interesting and intriguing study. lAt the Dominion Archives there is a document which is very illuminat- ing. and instructive. It is a way bil of the courier carrying mail from ,Halifax to Quebec in the winter of 1811.• It is addressed to "the severs couriers on the route" and reads "You are hereby ordered to use the ut most diligence in your respective stages to convey in safety and in the greatest possible speed the mail here with delivered to you. You are to show this way bill to the post mas ters on your route who are required to note the day of the month and the exact time of the day of your ar rival at their offices respectively to gether with the time when the mai is given by them to set in moth): with the name of the Courier into 'whose charge it is given. And the courier will himself set down the time of his arrival at and his depart ure from anyof the places named in this bill at which there is no post master. And wherever any unavoid able detention may have happened i must be noted in proper column and certified by next postmaster or by a magistrate or by some person resid ing where delay happened. And here- of you are not to fail, By order o the deputy postmaster general, John How Pitt." In the space below the columns ar ruled off for the entering ref the date time station, distance from the las station, naine of the postmaster and the courier in charge and also a wid column for remarks, explanation fo the delays along the road which seem to have occurred right frbm the start The first entry was made at six o' clock p.m, on December 23rd, 1811, elated at Halifax where John How was postmaster and D.

Cranibe Hill was reach ed early the next morning and fron there he proceeded to Windsor, Hor ton, Rye Plain Aylesford, Smithfield Wilmot, Annapolis, Digby, St. John Long Reach, Critnmcross Island Fredericton and Nilciwiki. Opposite all these places were entries telling of stormy weather, bad roads am minor ageidents and then, at the In dian village at the mouth of thellfad awaska River, where the mail arrived at seven o'clock on the evening of December 25th, the courier,, according to an explanation written in French having waited some considerable time for a guide who didn't show up gave over the mail into the hands of two soldiers and a further note ad- ded two days later by one of them tells of engaging another guide Wlhether or not the mail ever reached its destination, nearly two hundred miles further on, is unknown.

Some Improvement in Business Life I Seasonal influences appear to be • responsible for an almost general an- ' provement in business in recent weeks, ., ,but the .highly stimulating forces in evidence a year ago are lacking, according to a report of the Department of Trade and Commerce. Changes in the customs tariff made. early last month continue to unsettle import trade. Wholesalers report that shipments are chiefly in small parpels, since merchants are follow. ing a cautious buying • policy, Dry goods orders are confined very larga. ely to medium pricer! merchandise Industrial activity is being fairly well Maintained, •at the lower levels es- tablished earlier, and manufactures are said to be more optimistic. The major steel producers are op erating at only slightly below 'capa- city and wire and fencing demand is apparently good. Toronto- employ- ment offices look for more. activity in iron and steel lines in the near fu- ture. Radio manufacturers are be- Coming;mor•e active and shoe factor- ies are fairly well engaged on sum- mer and sport lines. ,April newsprint output of 228,000 tons represents a substantial gain in both volume and operating capacity over the Mareh figures. April ship- meaits amounted to 221,000 tons. The value of metallic production from Ontario mines and smelters dur- ing the ,first quarter of 1930 was 7 per cent. higher than during the first quarter of 1929. There were gains in gold and in the quantity of silver, al- though the value of the tatter eom- modity declined. Increases were re- gistered in copper metal and pickle matte exported, but copper matte shipments were lcwer, as was the quantity of nickle recovered in refin- ing. A new high gold production of $2.993,000 was established in April. The valuation of Canada's chemical production during 1929, $168,599,000, exceeded 1929 production by 14 Der pent., according to preiininary estim- ate just issued, Movement of wheat from the Dom- inion continued low in April, exports of that month of 3,428,000 bushels valued at $3,804,000 being 53;4 smal- ler than in April of last year. Ex- piate of wheat flour, 451,000 lower in value in the same comparison. A Canadian Government crop report Some indication that Mr. King an- ticipates such a result was embodied in his closing statement to parliament in which he stressed such a possibil- ity. In feet all close observers at the capital appear to be agreed that the outcome will be close and that the side it will swing to will be largely determined by conditions throughout Canada between now and polling day.
