Which was well filled. All were well
pleased with the many 'laughable sit-
uations and ,the excelent wayin which
each one took their part. The scene
was laid in 'Ohristine Elliotit's Re-

ed by Phyllis ;(Anne M'oLeod) and
Druscilla (Ella McKay) two girls
about town who drink their way

is on Mrs. Vat Dyke's property and
pompously asks who runs it and
ata'tes it will soon be removed from
the place much tothedisgust of the
good natured and impudent Etta
Lamb (Mrs. Paull) the waitress. Mr.
Angus, anxious for legal proceedings,
introduces Mrs. Van Dyke (Susie
Westlake), the self-made ntilliopair-
ess who, in the words of his niece,
is a rip snorting wild cat:" They are
followed by her bored niece Diane
Webster -(Flay Edwards) who de-
lights in witticisms at her aunt's ex-
pense. Mrs. Van DyTce meets • the
charming Christine (Mina Herbert)
who is not_ afraid of her though she
insists that the "shanty" be off her
property before night or inside a
month, but' Christine is determined.
to stand by until her lease signed by,
Mr. Beasley (Leslie Elliott) the care-
taker, has run out. Ohristfute finds
unexpected allies in Mrs Van Dyke's
nephew Theodore Webster (IWf19'ia'm

world from au •easy living and his
sister Diane, Love is woven into the
plot by Horner Bird (William Heard)

Works, Who admires Etta and When
Theodore declares his intention to
his aunt of marrying Christine. Af-
fairs go badly with lite two lovers.
Etta does trot recognize H'omer's pro-
posal. Mrs. Vail Dyke interferes be-
tween Christine and Ted and Chris-
tine decides to sell her stand to Mrs.
Van Dyke and discharges Ted who
has been nixing soft drinks for her
under the name of Ted Smith, but
as Horner Bird remarked "True love
cannot be held down forever." IVIms.
Van Dyke recognizes Christine's bus-
ness ability and decides not to buy
the stand but this is almost spoiled
by the bungling of B'e'asley who has
been planning to gest Christine off the
property.

Canadian Bacon Leads
'The -current issue of the (Live Stock
Market Report contains a .particularly
interesting item with respect to the
comparative prices of bacon in the
(British market, S't shows Canadian
bacon selling at a price of 444 to .60
shillings per long cwt. for the week
ending March 24, as compared with a
price of 43 to 56 Shillings per long
cwt. for the Danish product, It also
shows that during the previous week
the price range on Can'ad'ian 'bacon
isas from two to four shillings Ter
long cwt. over the Danish product. It
should be noted in passing that the
Canadian product is now selling se-
cond only to the :finest Irish ,bacon,
which is holding steady at a price of
from 64 to S2 shillings per long cwt.
of 112 lbs.
Get the Right Fertilizer
Never in the history Of Canadian
a'gricul'ture :has it been more import-
ant for the farmer to be absolutely
sure that he is getting the right kind
of fertilizer 'for his craps than at the
present time. One authority observes:
"In many parts of Canada the farmer
is still sold fertilizer as recommended
by local agents instead of buying it on
the basis of his own knowledge of its
proper use. As never before this
would appear to be a .good time to
consult the soil and crop authorities
at the Agricultural Colleges and your
local agricultural representatives be-
fore making substantial purchases of
fertilizers, be'cau'se with proper care
their use, eveen in these times of low
farm prices, ntay be made pro'fita'ble,
Farm Loans
The number of applications granted
for farm loans 'by the 'Agricultural
Development Board in 1931 was 3,361
an 'increase of 20 per :cent, over 1930
Applications refused totalled 876 as
against 905 the previous year. In pre-
senting his report, the chairman, W.
Bert 'Roadh'otise, stated: "Collections
under present conditions are difficult'
both for the BBoard and the borrower.'
The season has been one of good
crops and vely, very poor pnices..F'ac-
ed with returns cut in hall or less and
yet little decrease in the things they
have to pay for, farmers have yet car-
ried on with commendable courage
and steadiness. We have been able to
reduce arrears outstanding more than
two years to less than 15 per cent.
Arrears for the years 1930 .and 193'1
are very substantial: Appreciation of
the loan service is shown by .determin-
ation to catch up just as soon as pos-
sible." During the year the . Board
completed sale proceedings on 31
farms, and .it also sold 49 other farms
which were previously 'taken over. An
interesting summary of the len years
of` operation by the Board is provided:

pain9t'of intelligence and all -.round ab-
ility they stand higher than in a'ny

Strawberry Root ,Weevil
Experts of the Federal Entomolo-
gical Branch provide a timely sum-
mary with respect to the strawberry
root weevil, as follows:
1. The straunnoerry root weevil is
a native insect abundant everywhere;
the larvae live on the roots of grasses,
clovers :and .other ,plants, The straw-
berry is a favorite food plant. The in-
sect bakes its -appearance wherever
the crop is .grown.
2. Control measure's consist in the
adoption of a suitable system of rota-
tion of craps so ithalt the plantation
can be started on a clean field, attd
the appl'icati'on of poisoned bait twice
a year, commencing when the plants
are first at out,
3.. The proper time to apply the
bait is in the middle of April for the
'first application to destroy the over-
wintering .weevils and from the ,middle
to the end of June for the second ap-
plication, to destroy the summer gen-
eration which appears a'bout that time,
'T'he second 'application is the one
which is the nto'st important.
Grading Potatoes'
"An axiom of trade is that the de-
mands of the consumer control not
only what the producer grows and
raises, 'but how, he packs his .products."
said J. A. Carroll, secretary, Ontario
Marketing -Board. "As an example
Of this," continued Mr. Carroll, "Ie
would 'point outthe most recent dev-
elopment .in the marketing, of Ontario
potatoes. The Central Ontario Po-
tato Growers' Association are n'ow
marketing a 15 -pound pack of Tee -
Pee Brand, -fancy grade,' potatoes. The
quality of these potatoes is infinitely
superior to that of Canada No. 1, hi-
therto the top grade being marketed,
That such a quality of potato may
naw be secured is a direct result of
consumer demand.
"It occurs to me that the next step
will :be a detnand for potatoes to be
as clean, for the'homemaker to handle,
as a of lettuce, for example, This
will call for potatoes being washed
before being packed. I 'happen to
know -that the washing of potatoes is
already being done hi certain sections
of the United States.
"In brief," concluded Mr. 'Carroll,
"the best defence against competition,
in addition t'o the grower receiving a
premium ,for his product and the con
sumer being satisfied is that of lilting
Ontario potatoes into a class by them-
sel.ves for quality and pack."
Sales of ''Ontario Apples Increased
in Western Canada
Ontario apple sales, largely, due to
the efforts of the commercial repre-
sentative of the 'Ontario Growers'
Markets Council, have .greatly increas-
ed in 'Wiinnipeg and 'Western Canada
this year.
In 1930 some 143 cars of apples were
shipped to Winnipeg, while in 1931 at
least 1150 cars have been sent to the
Prairie markets. The chief service of
the Markets Council, however, did
not lazy in developing this business, al-
though this was valuable, but in ad-
ju's'ting claims for shippers' Owing to
the unusually long, hot season claims
were frequent and often in excess of
the .adtu'al damage done to the ship-
ment. It is conserv'ative'ly estimated
that at least $10 wa's. saved to the
shipper ail- every car shipped West
last season through having the Coun-
cil's representative on the spot to act
'as an intermediary between shippers
and jobbers: 'Where ne'ces'sary a car
would be repossessed by representa-
tive and resold when claims were too
high or could not be settled. this sen'
vice alone, for which no charge . was
made this year by the :Council, meant
at least $,1500 in the pockets of Ont-
ario apple growers. Pians are now on
foot through the co-operation of the
Ontario marketing Board to maintain
commercial represen'tatives in the
Prairie Provinces, the Maritimes, and,
if possible, on the Montreal market.
