ME CLINTON MINTS -RECORD;
Loss by Potato Blight
Investigations' "show t -'.that the
farmer may lose as/much ae fifty,
per cent. of his ',stored potatoe, crop•
-due' chiefly to the ;action of tinier
rots particularly`;that caused Eby; late
,(the so-called dry rot);, „While
thi,5 rot':, does ' R.Ot comonly spread,
fiom'tuber to tuber in thwe hint under
poor conditions this injury paves the
-way for'' organism's •producing other
rots that do spread and cause' heavy
losses. Much of the loss can be avoid-
ed by ren ov`ahg all late blight -infect,
ad tubers. There' are also other tub-
er -rotting fungi capable of causing
enormous losses, The following com-
bination ':of precautions is •suggested:
(1) Prevent digger and handling in-
juries. (2),Control the blight foliage
infection., (3) Avoid exposing poi"
tatoes • to temperature below 30 de-
grees F. and above 48 degrees F. 4)
Maintain good ventilation; conditions
in the storage house or basement
Testing the Wheat .Crop
During recent weeks some splendid
work has been done in testing the
baking qualities of, Canada's 1929'
wheat crop at 'Trent Institute, the
School of Commercial Baking at 0.
A. C. ]Both the hard spring wheat of
the western provinces and the softer
Hinter wheat of Ontario have been
under test. The report oh the'former
is that the quality is in every way
superior to the two previous crops,
while the Ontario product, which, is
usle.d chiefly in cake -making; is said
to be superior in both milling. and
baling qualities to that produced, in
1928. There is no evidence of sprout
ed wheat, which was the cause of
some difficulty in handling last year's
crop. On the other hand, the pro-
tein is lower, but on the whole it ap•
pears to be of excellent quality,
Beekeeping Progress
In connection with the recent con-
vention of the Ontario Beekeepers'
Association, Prof, E. Eric Millen of
0. A. C., secretary, points out that
remarkable changes hada taken
place in the beekeeping industry dur-
ing the past fifty years. From an
uncertain side line fifty years ago to
a commercial undertaking ' today,
many members now measure their
erop by the ton in place of pounds.
For instance, one Ontario, beekeeper,
J. L. Byer, of Markham, operates
about 1200 colonies. ^ There was an
-xceptionally goad crop of honey in
Ontario last year and two residents
of the province took first and second
prizes ,for honey at the dairy show in
London, England, while for the sev-
enth consecutive year Ontario bee-
keepers carried oft • the .highest
honors.
Ontario Party pit Chicago
Sixteen girls and fourteen boys
from. Ontario farms comprised the
party which journeyed to Chicago
during the first week of December
to attend the boys' and Girls' Club
Congress in connection with the
Inte2nxational Live Stock Exposi-
tion. They were the winners of
judging contests in their respective
counties by virture of which their ex-
penses were defrayed by local organ-
izations. F. C. Patterson, ag+ricult-
"ural representative for Norfolk, was
in charge of the trip, and Mrs. Cook
chaperone. In Chicage they joined
a party of 1500 young American boys
and girls in a six day program which
included not only the live stock expos-
ition but tours of\the city and one
or two of the larger packing plants.

Public Cooperation
Ottawa,, December 9th; (Special to
the News -Record)
,.The post office department hat
already issueda plea urging 'the pub-
lic to do their • Christmas retailing
early. ' The are rbininded also Ito
do the mailing the early part of the
week, because if the task is left un-
til the latter cart it Means the bring-
ing in of postal workers"on Sunday to
keep the vast amount of ,matter on
the move.
The post office is also again at-
tempting to discourage the use of
small cards • and envelopes in the
mails. .In the first place there is
danger of such mail not reaching•its
proper destination before Christmas
because the cancellation . stamp,
which is placed on all matter' at the
post office, oftimes obliterates ad-
dresses. Then again there is not suf-
ficient space for direction for for
warding in cases where it is neces-
sary to forward such matter in order
to reach their addresses.
Po -operation of ,manufacturers,
dealers and the public generally in
,the elimination of small siz'ed cards,
to the 'end that the Postal Service
niay be relieved of the burden of
handling them, is desired and should
continue to be sought and.cultivated.
It is suggested that in no case should
the card or envelope be smaller than
2r by 4 inehes, a size somewhat
larger being preferrable.

Britain's fnarkets are wide open to Canada. Because
of the; exhibitions of Canadian products, the activity of our
Trade Commissioners, and the effects of our advertising,
the British consumer is score familiar with these; products
than ever before, and consequently more inclined to buy.

Not yet is there among our producers an adequate
realization of the opportunities for increased production
which present, conditions in the British markets afford.
If you- are a producer or dealer in foodstuffs, you can.
assist to your own profit in gaining a larger share of this
market. Almost every community in this country stands.
to benefit. The result can be attained by:
1. Producing more of the kind of products the
British consumer wants.
2. Keeping up a constant supply.
3. Maintaining quality standards.
Through its Commercial Intelligence Service, this.
Department will render valuable assistance to any exporter.
Our ,Trade' Commissioners' Offices in Britain 'are especially
well.equipped and strategically placed to handle any export
problem on behalf of Canadian exporters. Enquiries re=
garding British Trade receive prompt attention. Write to.'
