•continue Until May 112, although i.rom
Risme to time following the 'Corona

of the CBC prior to The Coronation,
however, will be the inauguration of
a "Coronation Week" during which it
will 'b'roadcoeit special programs from
its 'own ntutlios and •from England.
IUDramatizations, to be produced week-

An Evergreen Windbreak
For the Farm
to farmer who plants a windbreak
and shade 'trees ac'oudnd the faro
buildings show foresight, as they will
en mance the value and appearance of
his Stunt, and improve living condi-
tions. The foresight is indic'a'ted as.
small trees have to be plan•te'tl and a
number of years will pass before they
make an appreciable difference in sur-
rounriings. A fine and effective wind-
break can be grown in 1.0 years with
the trees that are supplied +free 'by the
Ontario Forestry Branch or with ce-
dars taken f'rtn the woods.
Ever:Teens should be plan'te'd in
permanent locations When s'mal'l as 1t
is diflctt)t to transplant suecessfully
trees larger than three or four feet.
Time trees that are supplied :by the
Forestry Branch may be planted per-
manently •iii the windbreak, or may the
placed i•n nursery lines and cultivated
for a .few years. The labor of trans-
planting and the setback in growth
that trees have when •moved are e'lim-
inated if they are planted in the •wind-
break. They may either be placed on
plowed 'groutad ettl'tivated or snot
planted in sod. Cultivation stimulates
coatsiderably the •wawth of small
trees and an effective windbreak will
be grown more quickly if the trees
are cultivated. There is space and the
trees are more liable to be cultivated
if a hoe crop is grown with them the
first ten years. The advantages of it

The Seaforth News
SEAFORTH, ONTARIO,
month 01 .seeding in the spring, When
;leaning and grading in seed is left
.tn•ti1 the 'busy seeding time, the work
sometimes is rushed and consequently
not so carrefully done. Best results
are obtained when the capacity of the
seed cleaning and grading machines
is nam overtaxed. 21any machines do
much better work %them they are op-
erated considerably tinder their com-
mercially rated capacities, It seeins to
be a good plan to have the work of
preparing seed done when the weath-
r is favourable, and at ' )east one
month before seeding.
There are three main reasons for
cleaning seed, namely, the removal of
seed seeds; to obtain well cleveloped
serfs of high vitality, and tohave
seed of eniform size and freedom
from obstructions. 'rhe- annual loss
due to weed seeds is very ;neat.
Where soil moisture 'becomes more
linmited, the control df weed growth
becomes more essential. Noxious
weeds, etpccial'ly those which are
likely to he introduced on •farms
where they are not yet prevalent,
should be removed.
With regard to retaining weld de-
veloped seeds of high vitality, plump
seeds of strong vitality may en'dure'
adverse growing conditions because of
the stronger seedlings which are sup-
ported 'by the greater food reserves of
the well developed seed. Uniformity
of sued is important, lbniform seed,
free front awns, hoods, inert material
will run through the drill cups freely.
Don't Run Short on Males
Poultrymen intending to sa19913'
eggs to the hatchery or who have
their own incubators shou'id provide
sufficient male birds to insure fertil-
ity in the flock. There is a possibility
of having too many and one can get
along with 'comparatively few if the
hird•s are rotated in the pens. It has
neon claimed that one stale to 20 or
35 females of the lighter breeds will
be satisfactory int in the average
Farm flock it might be better, to use
an extra male or two and to have sev-
eral gond ones on hand in ease some-
thing shonhl happen to the 'birds, if
one or two of the males sicken and
the daring the breeding season it
might be very difficult to go oat and
pttrcitasc stales to take their place. A.
safer p•roposltion would be to have the
extra ,birds on hand`.
.1 tot of .undertittished lairds are
taming
,at to the market, and if the
pullets are in a similar condition one
cannot expect the 'hest production or
satisfactory hatchability. (reed is
scarce on many farms. but it would
be better to reduce thee flock by half
and decd a production ration rather
than keep the entire flock on half ra-
tions. In the one case the birds aro
likely to pay for their feed, but those
on short rations' will not lay very
many egg:,. Birds that are undernour-
ished are more subject to colds and
other diseases than birds in good flesh
which have built tip a resistance. Ac-
cording to reports a number of flock
owners have had considerable trouble
this fall from colds and roup in the
flock, An ailing hirci doesn't lay many
eggs. therefore t is important to feed
the birds a .proper ration.: Body weight
must be kept up, and if t'ggs are want-.

MOROCOO
(Continued from 'Page Seven)
with Britain and Spain. She flatly de-
nied the 'French point of view and,
claiming anew that Morocco was es-
sentially an international- question, de-
manded 'a new conference. France was
adamant alt first, but was later con-
strained to agree, and on Jan. 116,
119.016, the representatives of all the Eu-
ropean powers, together with those of
the 'United States, assembled at Al-
geciras, in the balmy atmosphere of
southern Spain. The Algeciras Con-
ference is, of course, a landmark in
the history of Morocco. The principal
duel was waged between Germany
and France, and, although French and
?Spanish supremacy in their respective
zones was confirmed, 'Germany es-
tablished her contention that .Morocco
was a concern of all the powers. She
was, nevertheless, dissatisfied, and
when, in 11971. France sent a military
expedition to Fez and occupied the
capital, this wa's held as an. infraction
of tie 'Treaty of .Algeciras, and Ger-
many retaliated 'by sending the Pan-
ther into Agadir. Europe narrowly
escaped war in consequence, and 'Ger-
many secured as compensation about
half the 1^rcnclt Congo; but the Kais-
er had fatiled to dislodge the French
from 21'orocco and was obliged to ac-
knowledge their protectorate.
It is easy,' therefore, to appreciate
French susceptibilities about Moroc-
co, and to understand why, when ev-
ents in Spain made the insurgent rul-
ers of the Spanish zone dependent
upon Germany. they saw the red light
of 'inuniatent clanger. They envisaged
two possibilities; First, that the +Ger-
madns would attempt to install them-
selves in :the Spanish zone; secondly,
that they would use this threat as
they had used the Panther at Agadir,
to secure colonial 'concessions else-
where. !Hence, they were easy 'prey to
the riot of purely imaginary reports,
,(now known to have 'been invented.
by the Russians) that the Spanish
zone was overrun 'with German bat-
talions, that Ceuta 'was being fortified
with 'heavy cannon that would reduce
Gibraltar to impotence overnight, and
that +Gen. Francisco ,Franco's German
friends were endeavoring to foment a
Riff rising against Itis a'titltority—
which, incidentally, would hare pre-
sented the French with a precious ex-
cuse for immediate intervention. Why
any sane person believed this confec-
tion of falsehood is another matter.
But to return to Fretnch fears. The
c and possibility is adnttis able. The '
first is not for, in point of law, what
we know as Spanish Morocco does
not Felting to Spain. It is an integral
part Of the Sultan's, dominions which
has, so to say, been a'llo'tted to Spain
by the .French overlord on an indefin-
ite lease. If, for any. reason. Spain.
wishes to part with it, or cannot man-
age or control it, the 'lease reverts,
ipso facto. to the ground lancl)ord. It
is therefore outs i•de the powers of Ge-
neral Franco to stake any deal with
Germany wliiclt might impinge on the
sovereign rights of the Sultan—which
means, in actual 'practice, the sover-
eign rights of 'France.
'Nor has France a free hand. When,
in 991)4, 'Britain exchanged her rights
in :Morocco for those of Ilriamatl,ce in Eg-
ypt, site concluded a thoroughly bad
bargain, but even the .Foreign Office
irlsis'ted (aa a d•elfnite condition of
concent to time establishment off the
French protectorate) that almost the
entire alorocca•n coast litre should re-
main. neutral alta unfortified,.
That has throughout 'been the car-
dinal point—indeed, the only point—
of British policy, a policy laid down
•because pan of the coast controls the
entrance to the \leditbrranean tyhii
the teat flanks Putish communica-
tions with West and So'u'th Africa,
Thus, it would be 1t ipocstl>:l.e for
Frafire ro allci Spain (or Germans'
in Spanish territory) to fortify any
part of the roast Without breaking 'the
international ;agreement by w•Itich she
hmrsef holds the rest of Morocco.
