In the fall of 1950, 92 North country Cheviot rams were placed in service in the area for the production .of market lambs trent Leicester type flocks. Of this group 94 were placed with the Hie co-operative, s o w Last year, members of the co- operative had 121 lambs per 100 ewes and lessee were one per dent lower than the average for the province, Cross -bred Che- viot -Leicester ewes in the area were mated in the fall of 1952 with Oxford and Shropshire ranee and produced 210 market lambs and the improvement made by this second cross was particularly noticeable when the carcasses were graded in the abattoir. The average grading for Que- bec lambs was: 47 per cent Choice, 32 per cent Good, and 21 per cent inferior. Wether lambs front the Cheviot -Leicester cross, graded: 60 per cent Choice, 22 per cent Good and 18 per cent inferior, but the second cross lambs, from the Down rams, graded 79 per cent Choice, 18 per cent Good and only 3 per cent inferior. This year the 435 Cheviot - Leicester ewes now owned by members of the Bic co-operative, in 29 flocks, will be mated with 18 Oxford and 5 Shropshire and Suffolk rains. This project to improve the quality of the market iambs from the Rirnbuski district is a co- operative undertaking by the ;?lock owners and representatives of the provincial and federal de- partments of agriculture. e 0 4 A province that was, accord- ing to a lot of oldtimers, founded on the dual purpose cow, the w' Away Those.

There were some breeders of purebred stock of course, but most of the herds that wandered about this prov- ince's pastures were either of mixed ancestry or were nixed herds. 0 e 9 It used to be, to quite an extent, the custom to keep some dairy cows, and some of the beef type, That way the farmer was able to get a fair amount of milk and at the sante time he raised beef calves which kept him in meat or provided a little extra money. But the nrillc from both types of cows ended up in the same can. e 0 e This isn't so much the custom today. Ontario cream producers aren't usually purebred breeders -they're general farmers. But at the same time most of their herds, if not pedigreed, are made up of cows that can trace their ancestry to a single breed. e 0 0 This enables the farmer to have a better idea of just what his cows are going to do when it cornea to filling the milk pail, and it also makes for more uni- formity in butterfat content of the milk, In the end it makes for a better deal for the con- s u m e r, whether he purchased milk, cream or butter. And the farmer who wants beefy calves can still bred his cows to beef bulls, and get cross- bred steers that do fairly well as meat producers for the stock- yards.

He said to King Ahab, "As the Lord of God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but ac- cording to my word" As the drought became more desper- ate it was well for Elijah to be hiding. At Cherith he learned to depend on the ravens to bring his food. Later when the brook dried he went to Zarephath where he depended on God and on a widow. The widow pre- pared the meals but God kept the handful of meal from be- coming less and oil from fail- ing. After three and a hall years of drought Elijah appeared be- fore King Ahab. Many 01 Israel had followed the lead of Ahab'e wicked wife in becoming wor- shippers of :Baal. The 850 pro- phets which ate at Jezebel's table were summoned to Mt; Carmel. There God sent fire from heaven upon E1i:iah's sac- rifles consuming even the stones and water in the trench The people fell on their faees and acknowledged Jehovah ae, the true God, The prophets of Baal were slain, In answer to prayer the heavens again gave rale Many Canadians are worship- ping money and pleasure.

Some of them recall an almost legendary era, writes John Beaufort in The Christian Sci- ence Monitor. It was an era of D. W. Griffith, of the Gish sisters, Mary Pick- ford, and Douglas Fairbanks, and Charlie Chaplin. It was Griffith, Pairbanks, Chaplin, and Miss Pickford who founded United Artists on April 17, 1919. Their objectives were "to improve the photoplay in- dustry and, its 'u'tistie standards. and the methods of marketing photoplay~," and to "market photoplays in the interests of the artists who create them." The founders and their asso- ciates set to work to realize their goal in a series of films which were to help establish the worldwide popularity of the new medium. Many have bee come cinema classic. ( The Moe scum of Modern Art is current- ly offering a vivid resume; of cinema history with a UA ft]m series.) Moviegoers w h o remember back to the days when televi• Binh wasIn't even a gletutt in all electronic eye, would find many a movie mentnry in the severe' dozen "stills" from the United Artist! files: Douglas Fairbanks in "Ris Majesty the American" (the company's first release) and "The Three Musketeers," Rich- ard Barthelmess in "Broken Blossoms," Charles Ray in "The Girl I Lovecl" Charlie Chaplin hi "The Circus," Rudolph Val- entino in "The Son of the Sheik." Mary Pickford in "Pol- lyanna" and "Little Lord Faun- tleoy." To meet the demands of an expanding market, the founding quartet made contracts with in- dependent producers who re- leased their films trader the United Artists banner. Alnong these were Abel Gance's "I Ac- cuse,' George Arllss in "The Man Who Played God," Mae Marsh in "Paddy the Next Best Thing," John Barrymore in "The Beloved Rogue," and Buster Keaton in "The GeneraI." UA films of the 19308 In- cluded "Street Scene," 'Arrow- smith," "Congress Dances," "Thi Ghost Goes West," "The Emper- or Jones," "Elephant Boy" "Dead End," "Dodsworth, " "You Only Live Once," "Wuthering Heights," and "Our Town." Notwithstanding its successes over the years, United Artists has had more than its share 01 show business vicissitudes. The general movie downtrend that followed World War II almost. I carried UA under. That the company has anything to cele- brate this year, except past glories, is due to one of those i• recoveries in the best unelodra- inatic. tradition. Ire 1951, a group headed by Arthur B. Krim and Robert 5 Benjamin assumed management of the company (the only re- maining founder -owners were Miss Pickford and Mr. Chaplin) UA then had a deficit of $$1,000,- 000. As Variety summed it up recently: "No pictures, no e118- tunl[gr:5. no money." Now. all that has changed. With films which may not ire• variably have improved the photoplay industry and its artie- i tic methods, the new manage- I meat at least succeeded in turn- ing the tide on disaster.

Be Tough One has to be firm When it comes -to thinning and soma other jobs about lite garden, Nature .is much too generous and if every seed that sprouted were allowed to grow, things would get in a terrible mesa. Plants would be crowded an. mercifu.11y, would become weak and spindly, a prey to the first insects or even a good breeze, Everything will do much better if there is plenty of room to develop. Newly transplanted Sowers, vegetables and nursery stock will become sturdier and much better plants if they are pinched back, In all bedding plants, things like petunias, asters, tomatoes, and such that come • in flats or boxes, all flower bode and bloom should be removed when trait: it+aruulr' takes place. Thin them too In almost every case where plants are started from seed and especially tiny seed, like .lettucse or alyssum or poppies, they must be thinned later. In doing this naturally we pull out the poorer specimens firstbut in any case we must leave plenty of room for full development. If we arm afraid of later damage from huge or cutworms perhaps we will leave twice as mare' plants as at first, then .later on we re- move very other one. In cer- tain vegetables like beets and carrots, too, we leave the plants about an inch or so apart at first, then urs later thirmingc for our first meals. Wheer thinned properly the plants left will grow more quickly, more sturdily and should be healthier.. Thinning is not always con. fined to seedlings. The extra big and fine blooms you usually sea in tha flower shows are often the result of thinning, Only it this case it will be the flower buds that are reproved. Instead 01 letting every single rose,, peony; or dahlia develop, the professionals nip off about fifty percent or more of the buds so that thine that are left. will be finer and bigger.
