Famous Cow Immortalized,
A unique ceremony of interest to
many livestock breeder's was the un-
veiling of the Life-size statue of the
famous Holstein cow, Spaangbank,
Snow Countess, on Civic Holiday,
.August 4th, at a point. on Highway
No. '2 near Woodstock., His Honour
Dr. H. A,, Bruce, Lieutenant -Gover-
nor of Ontario, performed the sere-
niony. : This cow was such a great
anilk and butter producer that she
brought fame to her owner, T. R.
Dent, and to Oxford County. " She
produced in ten laetations 201,058
pounds of milk with a record of 9;062
Bounds 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 i 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-
ting motorists may stop and marvel
at the Countess' past glory. Flood-
'lights will illuminate the scene.

For the 'young chicks or the breed-
Sng hen milk should be used in some
form especially for those flocks that
are kept confined t� 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 aa
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-
feied 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 competition
for his creamery and cheese factory
by-products. The poultryman is anx-
sous 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
meal are excellent while other sam-
Ales are unsatisfactory as substitutes
for milk. An occasional sample of
fish ]Heal or neat scrap can becom-
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 CROP REPORT
The yield of fall wheat in Ontario
is estimated at 26.7 bushels 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
and 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 to above
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-
maturely and rust whichis prevalent
in Central and Eastern Ontario will
lower the yield considerably. 'Ie, Nor-
thern Ontario growth of ,spring
grains` was retarded by drought from
seeding time to July 10th, Since then,
however, frecquent heavy rains have
been received throughout Northern
Ontario and a near average crop of
spring grains may be harvested. Fod-
der corn is about an average crop in
most of the province except parts of
Southwestern Ontario where . fields
weredamaged by too much moisture.
Theearly potato cro/ has been
harvested and the second early crop
is beginning to move. The yield is
good in Southwestern Ontario, but
disappointing in the Central portion
of the province, in many cases not
over 75 bags,,to the acre. Haying has
been unusually 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 ane
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 pr'oduction of
rots or wiltings, and thus may easily
be overlookedby the casual observer.
Nevertheless, such diseases may re-
duce yields as much 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 ybe 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 prac-
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?
Daddy -No young man. Political
plums are more often the result of a.
bit of clever grafting.

Last year a motorcycle patrolman
of my acquaintance stopped a big,

was obviously a responsible person,
obviously set for a pleasant week-

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 had got a ticket.
"No," said the officer, "I hated to

didn't," said the motorist, "I saW

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 allother 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 right of employees to bargain collectively
through their own representatives chosen without
dictation, coercion or intimidation.
2. It is 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. I. 0., the A. F. of L., or any other organization,
capital or labor.
4. That representatives from other countries, both of
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 least 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 lett : but not driven and
that the greatest safeguard of orderly progress and
reform is the sound common sense of all classes of the
Canadian people.
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.
