Faunas Cow Immortalized,
A unique ceremony of interest to
many livestock breeders was the un-
veiling of the life-size statue of the
famous Holstein cow, Springbank,
Snow Countess, on Civic Holiday,
August 4th, at a point on Highway
No. 2 near Woodstock. , His Honour
Dr, It. A, Bruce, Lieutenant -Gover-
nor of Ontario, performed the cere
lnony. This cow was such a great
3nilk and butter producer that she
brought fame to her owner, T. R.
Dent, and to Oxford County, ' She,
produced in tea lactation 201,059
pounds of milk with a record of 9;062
pounds of fat, creating a new record
among all dairy breeds anywhere in
the world. She was owned by Mr.
Dent throughout her lifetime of six-
teen years. She died a year ago
shortly after giving birth to ,d calf
and the Holstein -Friesian Association
of Canada decided to immortalize
her at a • cost of nearly ;$4,000. The
life-size statue stands upon a granite
pedestal in a specially -prepared plot
not far from the highway where pas-
sing motorists may stop and marvel
8t the Countess' past glory. Flood-
;lights will illuminate the scene.
For Hens in Pepe
For the 'young chicks or the breed-
ing hen milk should be used in some
form especially for those flocks that
:are kept confined to pens or yards.
Flocks that have free access to ten-
der green grass pasture will not re-
-quire as much milk as the confined
,groups. In fact, if a flock has access
to an abundance of tender pasture
'then milk may be omitted as long as
the vegetation is tender and abun-
dant. Milk should be added to the
ration whenever the pasture grasses
become dry and tough.
In recent years a number of pro-
prietary preparations have been of-
fered poultrymen as milk substitutes.
Several of these products claim to be
equal to milk as a supplement to
the ration for chicks. . The dairymen
Will find that in some sections these
products offer serious conipetition
for his creamery and cheese factory
by-products. The poultryman is anx-
ious to know these substitutes will
give him more feed value for a dollar
than he can get in milk by-products.
It is true that milk substitutes can
be made. Some samples of liver
areal are excellent while other sam-
ples are
unsefr
sfactor
y as substitutes
for milk. An occasional sample of
'fish meal or meat scrap can be com-
bined with grains by-products to•pro-
duce'a chick ration of the best qual-
ity.' As a rule, results will be much
better if some milk is combined with
these feeds.
CURRENT CI p REPORT
The yield of fall wheat in Ontario
is estimated at 26.7 hjiushels to the
acre, which is a good average, but
considerably below that anticipated
some weeks ago due to black rust in
Essex and Kent counties and red
rust in . other sections, as well as
considerable light and shrunken grain
caused by lodging and too rapid ma-
turity. Cutting of spring grains is
about completed in Western Ontario
end has been general in Eastern On-
tario. Although seeding was extreme-
ly late this season, plentiful supplies
of moisture brought the crops along
very rapidly and in Old. Ontario yields
} will range from average toabove
average for barley, mixed grains and
the main crop of oats. • Very warm,
dry weather in late July and early in
August caused late oats to ripen pre
snaturely and rust which is prevalent
in Central and Eastern Ontario will
lower the yield considerably. Ir Nor-
thern Ontario growth of spring.
grains was retarded by drought from
seeding time to July 10th. Since then,
however, frequent heavy rains have
been received throughout Northern
Ontario and a near average crop of
spa'ing grains, may be harvested. Pod
der corn is about an average crop in
.most of the province except parts of
Southwestern Ontario where, fields
were. damaged by too much moisture.
The early potato crosi has been
harvested and the second early crop
is beginning to move. The yield is
good in Southwestern Ontario, hut
disappointing in the Central portion
of the province, in many cases not
over 75 bagsato the acre. Haying has
beenunusually prolonged. In South-
ern Ontario the quality of most of the
crop is low as a result of frequent
rains and the fact that many fields
were. well -matured before cutting.
Pastures have been good to excellent
during July in Old Ontario and live-
stock have made very satisfactory
gains. Heavy shipments of feeder
cattle are coming into Ontario from
drought -stricken Saskatchewan and
farmers in this province are fortun-
ate in having plentiful supplies of
feed for finishing,
Control of Virus Diseases of Potatoes
Mosaic, leaf roll and spindle tuber
are three important diseases of virus
origin, commonly found affecting the
potato. These diseases do not herald
their presence by the production of
rots or wiltings, and thus may easily
be overlooked by the casual observer,
Nevertheless, such diepases may re-
duce yields asmuch as 25 per cent
and they are now recognized as the
disorders responsible for the "running
out" or degeneration of potato var-
ieties or strains.
Mosaic 'diseases are characterized
by the mottling effects which they
produce in the foliage. Leaf roll
causes a slight 'general yellowing of
the foliage and an upward rolling of
the leaves. Spindle tuber intensifies
the normal green colour of leaves, im-
parts an upright, staring appearance
to the plant, and causes the produc-
tion of spindly tubers with bulging
eyes. The infective agents of these
three diseases occur in all parts, in-
cluding the tubers of diseased plants.
These diseases are all infectious, and
each can' -be transmitted to healthy
plants by several methods, especially
by insects and grafting.
Investigations confirm the neces-
sity of planting certified seed stock,
the roguing out of diseased plants the
control of, insects especially aphides.
or plant lice, and the destruction of
cultivated or weed hosts in which po-
tato virus diseases are being harbour-
ed. Potato growers are urged to ad-.
opt the system of tuber -unit planting
in isolated seed plots. Such plots
should be rogued thoroughly, shortly
after the plants emerge and the•prae-
tice continued at weekly intervals
throughout the growing season. If
mosaic is eliminated from the seed
source, aphid transmission of disease
is greatly lessened. In roguing seed
plots or large fields, remove aphid
infested, virus infected plants as
gently as possible. Rogued plants
should be 'deposited in some type of
closed container, carried from the
field and then destroyed, preferably
by burning. Do not pile rogued plants
at the end of the potato field.

political plums from seed? -

plums are more often the result of a
bit of clever grafting. ,

the news that a fellow you had lunch
with last week is in a hospital with
a broken back will make any driver
but a •born fool slow down at least
temporarily. But what is needed is
a vivid and sustained realization that
every time you step on the accelera-
tor, death gets in beside you, hope-
fully waiting for his chance. That
single horrible accident you may
have witnessed is no isolated horror.
That sort of thing happens every
day, everywhere in Ontario. If you
really felt THAT, perhaps the para-
graph in Monday's paper recording
that a total of 15 citizens of this
province were killed in week -end
crashes would rate something more
than a perfunctory tut-ttit as you
turn back to the sports page.
An enterprising, magistrate now
and them sentences reckless drivers
to tour the accident end of a city
hospital or morgue. But even a man-
gled body on a slab, waxily portray-
ing the consequences of bad motor-
ing judgment, isn't a patch an the
scene of the accident itself. No art-
ist working on a safety poster would
dare depict that in full detail.
That picture would have to include
slow-motion picture and sound ef-
fects, too -the flopping, pointless ef-
forts of the injured to stand up;
the queer grunting noises; the stea-
dy, panting groaning of a human be-
ing with pain creeping up on him as
the shock wears off. It should por-
tray the slack expression on the face
of a man, drugged with shock, star-
ing at the X -twist in his broken leg,
child's body after its bones are
crushed inward, a realistic portrait
of an hysterical woman with her
screaming mouth opening a hole in
the bloody drip that fills her eyes
and runs off her chin.
Those are all standard, everyday
seauels to the modern passion for
going places in a hurry and taking a
chance or two by the way. If ghosts
could be put to a useful purpose, ev-
ery bad stretch of road in Ontario
would greet the oncoming motorist
With groans and screams and the
educational spectacle of ten or do-
zen corpses,' all sizes, sexes and
ages, lying horribly still on the
bloody grass. ,
Last year a motorcycle patrolman
of my acquaintance stopped a big,
red limousine for speeding. Papa
was obviously a responsible person,
obviously set for a pleasant week-
end with his family -so the officer
cut into papa's well-bred expostula-
tions; "I'll let you off this time, but
if you keep on this way, you won't
last long, Get going -but take it
easier." Later a passing motorist
hailed the highway officer and ask-
ed if the red car hadgot a ticket.
"No," said the officer, "I hated to
spoil their party." "Too bad you
didn't," said the motorist, "I .saw
you stop them -and, then I passed
that car again 50 miles up the line.
It still makes me feel sick at my
stomach. The car was folded up
like an accordion -the color was -a-
bout all that was left. They were
all dead but one of the kids -and he
wasn't going to live tp get to the
hospital." •
Maybe it will make yon sick at
your stomach, too, But unless you'-
re a heavy-footed incurable, a good
look at the picture the artist wouldn't
dare to paint, a first-hand acquain-
tance with the results of mixing gas
with speed and bad judgment, ought
to be well worthwhile. I can't help
it if the facts are revolting. If you
have the nerve to drive fast and take
chances, you ought to have the nerve
to take the appropriate cure. You
can'tridean ambulance or watch
the doctor working on the victim in
the hospital, but you can read.
The automobile i s treacherous,
just as a cat it. It is tragically dif-
ficult to realize that it can become
the deadliest missile. As enthusiasts
tell you, it makes 66 feel like noth-
ing at all '•But 65. an hour is 109
feet a second; a speed which puts a
viciously unjustified responsibility on

the imperative laws of momentum,
spikes. The best thing that'ean hap-
pen to you - and one of :the rarer
things -is to be thrown out as the
doors spring open, so you only have
the ground to recken with. True, you
strike with as 'much force as if you
had been thrown from the Continen-
tal Limited at top . speed. But at
least you are spared the lethal array
of gleaming knobs and edges and
glass in the car,
Anything can happen in that split
second of crash, even those lucky es-
capes you hear about People have
dived through windshields and come
out with only superficial scratches.
They have run cars together head
on, reducing both' to twisted junk,
and been found unhurt and arguing
bitterly two minutes afterwards. But
death was there just the same - he
was only exercising his privilege of
being erratic.
This spring a wrecking crew pried
the door off a car which had been
overturned down an embankment and
out stepped the driver with only a
scratch on his cheek. But his moth-
er was still inside, asplinter of wood
from the top driven four inches into
her brain as a result of a son's tak-
ing a greasy curve a little too fast.
No blood no bones horribly twisted
-just a gray-haired corpse still

as she had clutched it when she felt
felt the ear leave the roach.
If you customarily pass without
clear vision a Iong way ahead, make
sure that every member of the par-
ty carries identification papers -it's
difficult to identify a body that has
its whole face bashedinor torn off.
The driver is death's favorite target.
If the steering wheel holds together
it ruptures his liver or spleen so he
bleeds to death internally. Or, if the
•
steeling wheel breaks off, the matter
is settled instantly by the steering
column's plunging through his ab-
domen.
By no means do all head-on collis-
ions occur en curves. The modern
death-trap is likely to be a straight
stretch with three lanes of traffic,
This sudden vision of broad straight
road tempts many an ordinarily son-
sable driver into passing the man a-
head. Simultaneously a driver coo-
ing the other way swings out at high
speed. At the last moment each tries
to get into line again, but the gaps
are closed. As the cars in the lino
are forced into the ditch to capsize
or crash fences, the passers lneet, al-
most head an, ina swirling,grinding

liquely into the others.

DEPUTATION AT TORONTO
A deputation from this community
were in Toronto Wednesday of last
week and in an interview with the
Minister of Highways, Hon. Mr. Me
Question, urged the taking over of
the Thames Road and the Lake Rd.
as a provincial highway connecting
Highway No. 21 at RusseldaIe with
Highway No. 4, passing through Exe-
ter, and on through to the Bluewater
Highway. This is the main route for
summer tourists on their way to
Grand Bend and the Bluewater High-
way and is a much travelled road par-
ticularly in the summer time. This
year the road has received very.lit-
tle attention and has been in a most
unsatisfactory condition. The minis-
ter has promised consideration.

' x °fie His Forty®SI.rad on Lab
The national policy of the Liberal -Conservative Party, Provincial and Dominion,
for many years has been to create industry for the purpose of providing work and
wages for labor and a profitable home market for the farmer; the lumberman and
other primary producers. The Party's sympathetic attitude towards labor is evi-
denced by the Social legislation on our statute books.
The Liberal -Conservative Party believes that labor should receive a fair share
of the fruits of industry and is entitled to organize in order to improve the lot of
the worker as regards wages, hours, security in old age and all . other conditions of
industrial life. The Liberal -Conservative Party reaffirms its traditional policy of in-
sisting upon the maintenance of law and order in all industrial disputes and pledges
itself firmly and scrupulously to uphold the laws of Canada.
The Liberal -Conservative Party in Ontario stands for the following:
1. The richt of employees to bargain collectively
through their own representatives chosen without
dictation, coercion or intimidation.
2. It and has for many decades been a fact that both
capital and labor are International in their organization.
Accordingly the right of the worker to belong to tho
union of his choosing, Canadian or International, craft
or industrial, is fully established; provided always that
the unions must observe, and that capital must observe,
in all their actions, the laws of Canada.
3. The Liberal♦Conservative Party is unalterably op.
posed to the introduction into Ontario of sit-down
strikes, sabotage or other violations of our law, and
for the purpose of clarity hereby places itself on record
as being opposed to such illegalities whether they are
introduced into Ontario by labor unions affiliated with
the C. 1. 0., the A. F. of L., or any other organization,
capital or labor.
4. That representatives from other countries, both of
•l i ' , r capital and labor, shall be subject on the same principles
as other people to our immigration laws and that they
shall when admitted to this country, strictly observe
the laws of 'the land.
5. The primary function of the state in all industrial
disputes is FIRST -to take no sides and to maintain
law and order without the display of unnecessary or
provocative force, and SECOND, to enact and impar.
tially administer adequate legislation for the conciliation
of industrial disputes.
6. The right' to work in Canada is not dependent
upon membership in any organization. -
7. That no strike shall take place until all reasonable
methods of conciliation are exhausted and the worker
should have the right of secret ballot free from improper
influence or coercion in all decisions relating to the
dispute.
8. The Liberal -Conservative Party will continue in the
future as in the past to defend the principle of freedom
of association within the law. The party re -affirms its
belief that the essence of democracy is trust in the
people and to rely on freedom and not in dictatorship,
that public opinion may be led. but not driven and
that the greatest safeguard of orderly progress and
reform is the sound common sense, of all classes of tho
Canadian people.
t•
I have stated frankly and fearlessly my party's policy toward labor and law enforce
went. I stand now, as always, for law and order, for all, under all circumstances.
This policy is the democratic British method and I shall apply these principles in
the administration of our provincial affairs.
Leader of the Liberal -Conservative Party in Ontario
