The worst of it was there seemed no answer to the superior person. Yeti could not prove that your ciga- rettes were "all tobacco." But • there is an , answer, and I , found it' by 'going over a factory at Nottingham, England, where c18a- jrette-making recently celebrated its I hundredth birthday, writes a Tit -Bits I man. I saw the tobacco enter the factory in its raw leak state, and I watched its every. process until it was ready to come out again as a' cigarette with I11ews and `Information 0 t v u t a For the Busy F ;rmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriaulture) Farmers who wish to obtain select- ed seed for co-operative experiments with outstanding varieties of'winter wheat and other autumn -sown crops may -obtain this material, free of charge, by writing the i)eiiartment of Field Husbandry, Ontario Al;ricoltur- al College. Royal Party for Girls In recognition of the splendid work being done by girls throughout On- tario in the study of l'uusing, clothing and nutrition problems, the depart- ment is offering _free trips to the Royal Winter Fair next November to five • farm girls front each of the counties which have taken advantage the familiar label on the outside of of the instruction conducted in -house - the box and'the familiar cigarette hold science judging by the Women's card' Inside. And the answer . to• the su crier arson is: How, with 5,000 P p. workmen to see all that takes place, would any reputable.firm dare to mix anything with the pure tobacco? In' the factory, the first things to be seen are•the brown bales of .leaf tobacco, and after that the one great Impression is of the vast quantity of intricate and delicate machinery. The first process is the moistening of the leaf by machinery to make it killable and workable. The moistened leaves are passed on to benches where groups of - girls grab them and give one savage tear. This grabbing and tearing process is accomplished by hand, and is done for the porpose of removing the hard stalk in the centre of the leaf. • The next stage is the blending. The blenders' job is a highly -specialized one; they must have a keen eyesight and a keen sense of smell, and, above all,` they must be good, sound judges of what constitutes a good' tobacco liar either pipe or cigarette. Where a mixture is being made, the light and dark tobaccos are mixed in a ma- chine which ensures the exact pro- portion. After this it passes to a condition- ing room where it is brought to ma- turity.

Ali of it has now been blended and graded, and that portion which is to ae sold to the pipe -smoker goes to its own room, where it is packed and labelled by machinery and finished or sale. The' tobacco for cigarette goes to another' machine, where it is !rolled and wrapped in paper by Machinery. I watched the paper fed to the ma- ;ebine, saw the tobacco being put on to a miniature conveyer, and • then, at the other end, saw what seemed like a little :et belching forth one continuous cigarette.

No less than $50,000 will be spent ;for attractions' and prizes during the Fair Week from September 8th to lath. The attractions are to include, tthe, world-famous Rubin and Cherry Shows on the Midway; these shows same colorful pageants that made such a hit at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. The pro- grammes before the grand stand have been improved, too, and, in fact, dir- ectors %ay, everything possible has been done to make the entertainment such as Western Ontario has never seen before. Special arrangements are already being made by city officials and by hotel people to take care of the thou- sands of people who will come to the city to attend the Fair.

Outside the factory it was good to find that the firm has adopted inod- ern welfare methods. The firm has provided twenty acres of sports grounds, where football, hockey, cricket, tennis, and bowls are played. Another testimony to the firm is the length of service of some of the employes.

A splendid program, including visits to some of the industrial plants and'bus- Iness centres of particular interest to girls from the country is now in the course of preparation by the depart- ment which is also providing trans- portation for the party. The plan is supplemental to the "Royal 500 Par- ty" - for farm boys • which has been conducted so successfully during the past few years.' Autumn Sown Crops As a foreword to a review of ex- periments with autumn sown crops at O. A. C., W. J. Sgnirreil, professor of field husbandry, says: "Extreme dry weather during the latter part of Au- gust.and the month of September was responsible for considerable decrease in the area of winter wheat sown. in Ontario in 1929. Winter killing, al- though severe in soine districts seems' to have been about average for the province. Growing' conditions since early spring have been excellent and winter crops were harvested under exceptionally good conditions. Very slight damage was caused this year by either Messian fly or rust. More damage than usual, however, was oc- casioned by the presence of barren spikelets in the heads of winter wheat. Yield and quality of autumn sown crops in the experiments at the. college Were very good in the crop harvested in 1930. Yields per acre in the variety tests of winter wheat were greater than for several ,years." Uniformity of Railways, Britain's four big railway groups are discussing a plan to standardize the entire railroad stock of the. coun- try. The companies realize that hun- dreds of thousands of pounds of run- ning costs may be saved by this action. An official of the L.N.E.R. said to a reporter: "Conferences are being held by of- ficials of the companies to agree up- on standard equipment of every kind that is practical. "Tickets are to be of uniform color for all lines—first class tickets white, { third class green and workmen's buff color.

Radio, lecture staffs and newspapers will all figure in the program. "We are determined," said the 'Prime Minister, "to show to• the people the real qualities of our pro- ducts, to demonstrate the value of our own markets and to prove to them the advantages of buying at home. In short, we wants to establish a greater measure of co-operation between con- sumer and producer." In Comment:- leg omment-ing upon the projected campaign, one in which the lame Ontario distribu- tors of food will be asked to join, Mr. J. B. Fairbairn, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, said that most Can- adians would be --astonished at the amount of foodstuffs imported at the very time of the year when Canad- ians are .producing similiar products. An extra slice of bread:a day would• help to take care of surplus Canadian wheat, he state`], and unemployment would be relieved considerably by vigorous prosecution of the cam pal ger in ,mind. • Changes in Representatives Several changes have recently been made in the agricultural representa- tives of Ontario.
