Market For Flax
In an address to dairymen of Perth
county, J. B. Fairbairn,: Deputy Min-
ister of Agriculture, declared that
there will be a ,big increase in the
growth of flax in all Western Ontario
if plans now under consideration by
the Ontario'Government materialize
He stated that there is an extensive
market at present in the lcorth of
Ireland, where growers are anxious 'to
secure flax from Canadian farmers.
Mr. Fairbairn intimated that an ex-
pert'be sent from the province
to Ireland to study the flax situation,
andreport back to the department.
The Empire Marketing Beard has of-
fered to co-operate in.'every way pos-
sible. At the present ,time about 7,-
000 acres are devoted to flax in Wes-
tern Ontario.
Fighting the Weeds
Ontario is this year making a de-
terminad effort to eliminate the weed
menace which in recent -years has set -
reduced. crop returns and land
values. Under the Ontario Weed Con-
trol Act it is the duty of rural mun-
icipalities tosee that gill- weeds ,grow-
ing upon highways under their juria-
diciion are cut dawn at the, proper
time to prevent the ripening of their,
seed and to appoint sueh officers
may be necessary for that purpose.
Railway companies are required to
take szinilar aetion,along theirrights
of way. If weeds are to be eliminat-
ed from Optario everyone must do his
share because one weedy farm can ef-
fectively infest a whole neighborhood,
Destroy weeds and help prevent enor-
mous annual loss.
Bound for Poultry Congress
Prof, John Buchanan, Director of
Extension at the Ontario Agricultur-
al College, sailed' last week on the
Duchess: of Bedford for England, to
.set up and arrange the Ontario Gov-
ernment exhibit in connection with
the Weed's Poultry Congress, which
opens on Sniy Z. Prof, Buiehanan has
already designed and built the exhib-
it, which has been shipped to London.
On July 2, a large party from Can-
ada will sail for the congress, which
opens on July 22 and continues until
July 31.
Veterinary Summer Courses
The summer courses for practicing
veterinarians which was so well liked
last year is 'being repeated at the On-
tario 'Veterinary College, Guelph,
from July 7th to llth. A. short course
on the veternary problems connected
with the fox industry will also be held
on July 14th and 15th at the College,
when both breeders and veternariens
will be presentee
As one of the largest and best e-
quipped veterinary colleges on the con-
tinent, 0. V. 0. is providing a service
for the live stock industry which can
hardly be gauged. Linked with the
Ontario Agricultural College it is
carrying on research into all kinds of
health of animals problems and help-
ing to rid the country of disease.
Tomato Crop Improvement
An extensive improvement program
for the tomato crop branch of farm-
ing has been planned by the Ontario
Agricultural College, for Northum-
berland and adjoining counties. Ac-
cordingly T. H. Jones .and Mr. Butler
of the Ontario Agricultural staff for
the past few weeks have conducted
experiments on farms in the Quinte
district in the spraying of tomatoes
hi beds before being transplanted.
Tomatoes under the treatment were
sprayed at various stages of growth
with bordeaux mixture. The plants
then were distributed to different
growers, who will keep them under t

Modern Spraying
Spraying practices have undergone
radical changes in the last quarte • of
a -century. Wthereee an apple grower
was 'Ones content to apply a ,single
spray, to -day many of them spray as
many as nine times' to control, apple

gus pests have greatly increased in

Injuries to Hogs; —
Quite serious lossesare sometimes
suffered from bruising of market.
hogs while in transit. ..The bruising,
causes a •discoloration of the flesh;
which the packers areforced to cut
away, destroying the side perhaps for:
the Wiltshire bacon trade. Much of
this injury is done at either the load-
ing or the unloading end of the trip
from the farm to the packer through
the rough handling, which" could be,
avoided throughthe use of seeure,
welibuilt loading chutes and a little.
extra care ' in providing plenty of
straw in the railroad car.
Improving the Herd
In a recent address, -W. R. Reek,
Superintendent of the Ridgetown
Experimental Station urged the need
for ^ cow -testing and declared . that
breeders have not made suffieient
progress along this line "Why' work
with Iow producers?" he asked, "It
is the low ,prQders. aid poor crops
that are injuring our markets and it
would' he impossible to secua a"3nar-
ket that would be profitable for the.
'poor crops or inefficient eews, 'Don't
expect someone else to clean up your
difficulties for you. ',Tackle them
yourself.. The object of every dein,-
man should be a high prod/miingherd,
as too meth time is now wasted on
poor cows' and inefficient methods,"
The Women's Institute -
There are now 1,150 W'amen's In-
stitutes in the ruarl districts of Ont-
ario with a membership of over 40,-
000. The,Institutes exist for promot-
ing social contacts and whatever is
beneficial to the community as a
whole, especially to wornen .and child-
ren; through co-operative effort. The
movement, started at. Stoney Creek,
le 1897. has now become world wide.
Wbmen's Institutes, wherever they
exist are non-sectarian and non-
political.
Grading Wool has Helped
Canadian wools are now recognized
both at home and in outside import-
ing countries as possessing highly
desirable sualities. •Since wool grad-
ing became a general policy several
years ago, buyers have learned to
look with confidence to Canada for
supplies. In the last fiscal year a
little less than 8,500,000 pounds were
graded, slightly more than in the pre-
ceding year. Wool grading has had
a very good effect on improving the
annual wool -clip and its preparation
for market. The fleeces now received
at the storage are well -rolled and
dyed and show a very small percen-
age of rejects or low grade wools.
ZURIC}I: Mr. Oscar Klop has
disposed of his fine 150 acre farm
to Mx. Theo. Bedard, of Stoney
Pointe, Essex County, and late of. the
Blue Water Highway, Hay Town-
ship. The purchase price is ,$1500,00
for the 160 Peres, and is the biggest
financial transaction- of a farm pro -
party that we know off for some
time. Posesssion will be given about
the middle of October, and Mr.
Klopp, although not' just certain at
present but will likely make anauc-
tion sale of his chattels, and we hope
will move to Zurich with his family.

Gen. Sir. William Otter Attinded
the rank of Inspector 'General, the
highest military office in the Do-
minion, after beginning his career as
a private.
Sir. Wen, Otter had; been uneoe-•I

cording to his physicians. death was
due, to; old age. For a. •nimuber of
.years, h8 .had lived, a retired life, at
his apartments here, though ep•untjl
a few months .before his final illness;
he wee a familiar and honored fig-
ure at military gatherings.
General Otter was -a man whose
namewas known throughout all Can
ada, said Premier Ferguson on his
demise. "H,e belonged. to .the old
school of public-spirited citizens who
played such a large part in the early
developernept , of the country, His
active military career was of a con-
spicuous character and he made
great 'sacrifices in'`.°the interest of his
country at a . entice' time •when his
services were unvaluable. He is a-.
mong the men whose memory -will be
long cherished as a great Canadian,".
the Premier said.
Served in' Canada Through Great
Wier' '..
Before the Great Wier, General Sir
William Otter, K.0.11,• was admitted-
ly, the most conspicuous example of
"from. Private to General," among
'the sons' o£ Canada; :When his na-
tive country cesteied the World con -
1116t' in 191'4, Sir'.SNil]iam was' past
the allotted mark of three score
Years ; and ten, his record as a sol-
diesewas as full of honours as he was
of years. The soldier :spirit was undi-
minished and the body strong. A -
though he was on the retired list,
nobody was much surprised when he
offered his services to the country
"in any capacity." The country ap-
preaciated the offer and the force
of character military experience and
ability which backed it up. But it
Was decided that the upstanding
,stripling of 71 years had already
"done his bit" so far as overseas
service was permissable by the age
limit..
Sir William was then offered the
post of Director of Interment Opera,
Miens in Canada during the war. Re
accepted. From 1914 to the close of
the war he did his duty in a situation
that required much organization
work and produced many vexation
Problems. It was a home post but
not a "cushy job." It entailed tact-
ful handling of some thousands el
interned enemy aliens, some inof-
fensive, but many 'openly antagonis-
tic and dangerous. They were scat-
tered about the country in various
camps, necessitating numerous coast
to coast dashes by the director who
was kept employed until Sept„ 1920,
Famous Marches
In the suppression of the North
west Rebellion in 1885. Lieutenant -
Coronet Otter was in command of .the
Battleford Column which 'made the
famous forced marches across the
trails of the wide prairie, well trel-
lised nowadays with railway lines.
He was engaged in the expedition
anainat the big Indian chiefs, Pound -
maker and Big, Bear, and by suddenly
attacking the latter at Cut Knife
Creek on the 2nd of May, after a
night march of 40 miles, he prevent-
ed a proposed junction between the
forces of those two chiefs, which had
for its object a .formidable increase

Sir William was an honorary life,

LAMBS TO BE PURCHASED -AC-
CORDING TO WEIGHT AND
QUALITY
In no farm animals are marketing
weights of more importance than in
lambs, During the season of plenti-
ful. -supplies a few pounds. increase in
weight makes'a great difference 'in
the classification and price of the
dressed carcass. It is also becoming
less and less desirable to Store heavy
dressed lamb for winter use. The
weights that lambs yield in dressed.
carcasses, therefore, make a consider-
able difference in the average price
paid to producers ter live lambs, be-
cause thou value must depend on the
price received for the product when ii
is resold to the retailer.
Emphasis on -those' points is placed
in the announcement made on behalf'
of lamb buyers that, in addition to the
'efforts thatthave.been made to gat rid
-of •bucks 'and the usual discounts en-,
culls, this year a further step is,bcing•
taken to bring: the lamb industry ,h
more into accord withconsumer de-
mand,
The object is to protiiote the mar, t
kering of well -finished Iambs between 0
75 and 96 lb. in weight. This is nee
essary if the eonsumptive demandfcr
lamb 'mea't ,is- to be maintained and
extended: ,
To this end, effective August 4th
lambs over. 95' lb. at the market: wilt
be discounted 3 cents per Ib. Bucks
and cull lambs will be discounted as -
usual.
This step need not entail a hard-
ship, as it is obvious that all that is
necessary is to pick out the. heavier
Jambs of the flock and market them
as they reach proper weights, Fur-
thermore, if the market in August is
Whig, say 11 cents per pound, a 90
pound lamb will bring the same. re-
turn as one 20 pounds heavier when
the market may, have dropped, say,
to 9 cents per pound a few weeks lat-
er. Theeffort all through is to pro-
mote and extend, the trade by stimu-
lating :a public demand through sup-
plying a gocd quality, home -produced

kSciell a session would undoubtedly
affect Canada's representation at the

King is preaching the gospel of fu -
tura, employment for Canadians, but
Mr.' Bennett has seized upon,; the pre -
sett situation as' demanding- action

reason why a special session cannot
_proceed with, the caonference. It
would probably reduce the number of
Canadian ministers who would go ov-
erseas, • but the rapidity of coinmun-
ication would permit a. Prime Minis-
ter to sit in Ottawa and -to keep a
very intimate finger on the course of
events at an economic conference in
London.
A this writing the fat is all in the
fire with both parties genuinely op-
timistic. The soldiers' pension pro-
blem and his general treatment have
been yanked actively into politics, de-
spite all sorts of protestations to the
contrary. In Quebec conscription -for
service in India—has been made an
issue and creed and race are not free
from political controversy.
It is a case of preventing an anti-
climax. The Campaign has been long
'already and there is still about three
weeks to go. The party that can
seize public interest in those three
weeks will nick up the unattached
voter and will win, The old lines of
party fealty are not as general as of
yore, There are new conditions and
many thousands of new voters.

MaelJlillan as Minister of Fisheries
and Ian M',aekenzie as -*sister of
Pensions, the Government announced
that in the event of Mr.. King's re-

struction could be expected,
This has now simmered down to
the report that in the shuffle Hon.
W. D. Euler 'Will become Minister of
Railways,. with Nee Crerar taking
aver the National Revenue. • The
reason for the switch is 112r. Euler's
openly expressed disapproval -,of•anti-
liquor clearance .bill,. introduced .by
Premier King last session, to stop
legal clearances of liquor to the 'Uni-
ted States.
The administration of such a law
falls to the Minister of National Re-
venue and as Mr. Euler in 1929 ,stud
in 1930 declared himself opposed to
the enactment it is stated that he has
asked to be relieved of its enforce-

Peak of Tourist Trade Not Reached
While United States tourists spend
close to $300,000,000 .annually in
Canada, this country's tourist expen-
ditures in the United States are by
far .the greates-, on a per capita.bas-
te.
During 1929 Canadian tourists
spent $91,000,000 across the border,
a Canadian expenditure of $9,10 per
capita.
The per capita expenditure of the
United States in Canada through
tourist .activity amounts to only $2.33
per capita.
It is believed here that the right
methods . of fostering the tourist
traffic to Canada good roads and
more accomodation would swell the i
United States per capita expendi-
tures to the same high proportions ;
as the Canadian per capita expendi-
tures in the United States. o
If the United States expenditures
on tourist activity in Canada reached
the Canadian figure of $9.10 per cap- '
ita the total value of the trade to•
Canada would be $1,187,509,000 an- I
nually.
Canada Leads U.S. in New Labor
Law
Once again the United States has
followed Canada's lead in the march
towards perfect labor legislation,
Just a few days ago the United
States government adopted labor
legislation that was framed in this
country more than ten years ago by
the 'Borden government. '
This legislation has todo with the
establishment iof national employ -
ment agencies and cooperation by,
government ” employment agencies,
with localorganizations.
Immediately following the war res
presentatigfi •was made' to the Borden
`
government that fake-eeiiipIOYment'
agencies' were victimizing Canadian'
labor throughout - the country„and
that even 'those that operated hont
estly were grossly inefficient jo
method,
Resultingly, the Government es-
tablished the ' Employment Service
of Canada, paying ;half the cost of
maintaining agencies .in cooperation
with the provincial governments. -• .

tance

tance,in connection with the British
Preferential rates in the Canadian

Department of National. Revenue,
whereby: British countries . which in-
crease their tariff on any commodity

new to Canada but not exactly new
to the United States. Miss Harvey
is the fifth woman who • has been
chosen for a foreign post and at the
present time there are four in the
service. She received her education
in France and Italy and took her
course in international law in the
United States.

ed that she thought it was her es-
sential duty to make all pbseible con-
tacts with women and she said that
she had a "lively interest in Cana-
dian women, in what they are doing
and 'what they are thinking:" In es-
tablishing these contacts she consid-
ered she would have the best way of
advancing national' and -international'
work.
