The Tomato Crop
Picking of tomatoes for canning in
Eastern Ontario, commenced this
week. ` They appearfairly good, but
some black lot is in evidencein many
fields. Factories have contracted for
the crop at 30 to 35 cents per bushel,
depending on the district where they
were grown. This price compares
with 27 12 cents paid last year. The
acreage of canning" factory tomatoes
shows a substantial gain this year.
In Eastern Ontario about 9,000 acres
were set out as against 5,000 acres
in 1936. In Western Ontario the
acreage shows a rise from 16,000h to
25,700.
Care of Poultry
Commercial poultrymen have
known for a long time that the
month's of August and September
are the two most profitable months
in the year if egg production can be
maintained at this time. The normal
trend of egg prices is up and at
fairly rapid rate, because the bulk
of the flocks of,oid birds in the coun-
try are falling off in production and
most of the new pullets have not yet
started to lay. Every effort, there-
fore, that can be made to maintain
production at this time should result
in added profits.
This means that it is most desir-
able to watch the condition of the
birds, and should there be any indi-
cation of their falling off in weight,
increase the amount of grain fed
slightly in order to hold up their
body weight as long as possible and
thereby ward off a molt. It is ex-
tremely important that clean, fresh,
drinking water be available at all
times, for water is au essential for
good egg production. It may be ne-
cessary to change the water 2 or 3
times a day during hot days in or-
der to encourage the birds to drink
more.
If the birds are running outside
in the yard and the natural supply
of green food has been eaten up, it
.will pay the flock owner to cut
greens from another field and throw
them into the yard for these old
layers. It will pay to cater to their
tastes right now in order to get ev-
ery egg possible.
Dairy Calves
Are dairy calves raised with the
aid of nurse cows freer from calf
ailments, such as scours, than those
which are raised on the bucket? Well
informed observers say they are.
Calves raised on the bucket often
gulp their milk too fast, and scour-
ing results. Utensils, necessarily em-
ployed for the feeding, often are dis-
ease carriers.
One suggestion is to put three or
four calves on each nurse cow. The
cow's total production should be
sufficient to give each calf from
eight to ten pounds of milk daily. Let
the calves nurse two or three times
per day, until they are fifty to sixty
days old. After that, reduce the
nursing frequency to once daily.
Beginning in the third week, the
straight milk ration should be sup-
plemented with hay and a meal mix-
ture. A good meal is composed of
equal parts of yellow corn, oats,
wheat, bran, linseed oil meal and dry,
skim -mills. By the time the nursing
frequency: is cut to once a day, each
calf should be consuming approxi-
mately two pounds of meal per day.
The feeding of meal is gradually in-
creased until the calves can be total-
ly weaned without serious checking
of their growth. new edition.
On Dipping Sheep
Ticks in "sheep are more easily
discernible after shearing and per-
heps on that account the 'dipping of
sheep in the early part of the year
is n.•iore commonly practised than in
the fall.. However, two lippings a
year are recommended because a
few ticks in the fall may increase to
large numbers by spring. So far as
early clipping is concerned, all sheep
not already dipped should be attend-
ed to at once. In' the warm weather
there is little danger from cold and
the lambs have reached an age ` to
stand dipping well.
Ticks and lien are two external
parasites that are common pests to
sheep. They sap the vitality of both
ewes and lambs and are the cause
of much discomfort. To secure the
best returns from sheep, dipping
should be done in the summer and
early 'fall of the year. The cost of
dipping should not exceed three, cents
per head. Dips are sold in two forms,
powder and liquid. Any of the stan-
dard dips carry directions for use
on the package and good results are
usually obtained if directions are
followed,
Conununity dipping tanks have
come into common use in recent
years. One of the first and main
costs of dipping sheep is to make
enough dip for the bath and after
that dipping fluid, is added as, requir-
ed. When a lot of sheep are' dipped
cooperatively the cost for dip is less
and the labour involved is reduced al-
so. A better dipping is usually se-
cured.
The following are reasons why it
pays to dip:
1. Sheep that are free from ticks
and lice grow more and better wool.
2. A clean flock requires less feed
and is more easily kept in good
condition.
3. The lamb clop is stronger, ewes
milk better, and lambs grow more
rapidly.
4. Parasites are a source of ser-
ious discomfort to sheep. The good
shepherd should be mindfnI of the
comfort of his flock.
New Canada Year Book.
Announcement has been made that
the new issue of the Canada 'Year
Book is available. Copies may be ob-
tained from the King's Printer, Otta-
wa, at a price of $1.50 a copy. A
limited number have been set aside
for ministers, bona fide students and
school teachers, who may obtain 'co-
pies at 50c each.
Much valuable data has been gath-
ered for this new issue which treats
such subjects as the history of the
country, natural resources, the dif-
ferent branches of production, trade,'
transportation, finance, education,
etc.
Some important features of this
special volume have been revised and
other additions have also been made.
Physiography of the country . has
been almost entirely rewritten, and
a special section on Economic Geol-
ogy is included. Another special ar-
ticle has been prepared on "Faunas
of Canada" by the chief of the Na-
tional Museum of Canada.
The work of the Dominion Civil
Service receives attention under the
heading—Transportation and Com-
munications. The Bank of Canada,
under Currency and Banking, is writ-
ten up concisely and clearly in order
that the public may have an under-
standing of the position and functions
of the bank in public life.

OLD MAN ONTARIO speaks for the great mass of our
citizens when he says, "Thank you; Mitch"
Only too well he remembers the sorry plight into which' bad
government had brought this great provincse three years ago.
Spendthrift politicians were dragging us deeper and deeper
into debt. Their millionaire friends were being allowed to fleece
the public treasury. Every department of the public services
was honeycombed with an army of hangers-on.
It was then the people turned to Hepburn in the hope he
could and would carry out the promises he made. Perhaps
skeptics may have attributed some of his promises to youthful
enthusiasm—but Hepburn kept his word—he's Ontario's Man
of Action.
Today Honourable Mitchell F. Hepburn submits the most
successful record any Ontario Prime Minister ever presented
before the bar of public opinion.
Hepburn Earns the Gratitude
f the El ct .t rate
L.TE .has earned the thanks of practically every man, woman
and child in the province.
Wealthy beneficiaries of estates which had been allowed to
mulct the province to the tune of 22 million dollars will not
thank him for recovering that huge sum—but nearly everybody
else will.
Timber profiteers rue the day on which Hepburn came to
Queen's Park—but the people of the North rejoice when they
see large new industries springing up and old ones reviving.
They join Old Man Ontario in his enthusiasm for the ending of
unemployment in the timber area and fox turning George
Henry's deficits into surpluses.
"Big Business" may not be singing Hepburn's praises -but
the common people appreciate the fact that he saved them
millions in interest rates.
Hepburn Saves Hydro
TF the Quebec power barons had a vote in Ontario, it would
certainly not go to Hepburn—but Ontario knows that the
Government's Hydropolicy not only saved this great enterprise
from ruin, but that it hasealready saved over four million dollars
to Hydro users, and the new contracts will eventually effect total

The Tax -Payers' Friend'
THAT "Thank you, Mitch" covers a wide range of public
services, all administered with an efficiency and economy
hitherto unknown.
It says:
'Thanks" for the lessening of municipal burd'ens—that mill on
thetax rate, the increase in township road subsidies, the assump
tion and increase of Mothers' Allowances and the assumption of
Old Age Pensions.
- • "Thanks" for the abolition of the amusement tax.
"Thanks" for preventing the exploitation of labour• by
riotous aliens.
"Thanks" for the advanced labour legislation, such as —
industrial standard codes, extending minimuin wage laws to
men, and setting up a tribunal to ensure a square deal to em-
ployees and employers. This new Industry and Labour Board
has . already justified its creation by effecting settlements in
several disputes of long standing.
"Thanks" for the modernizing and extension of our high- •
ways, and for promoting tourist trade on a greater scale than
ever before.
"Thanks" for the improvement in the
preventive measures for the health of the
people, and for the better care of the sick
physical and mental.
"Thanks" for the 'progress of education
in Ontario, and for assuming the costs of
examination fees.
"Thanks" for the advancement of every
Department within the jurisdiction of a Pro-
vincial Government.
