TRADE WITHIN TI -IE EMPIRE
The present meeting of the Em-
pire Economic Conference is striving
to have trade within the Empire
reach much greater volume than ev-
er before. Naturally, difficulties have
been encountered, and, if reports are
correct, have to a great extent been
overcome, The fact that the: Con-
ference reaches an agreement will
not benefit our country as it should
unless our manufacturers and others
who. have goods for sale go after
this business promptly and in a bus-
' iness-like fashion. The Conference
can help cure our economic ills, but
will only help those who help them-
selves.

SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. 1ST
After the usual summer holiday,
school will re -open on Thursday,
September the first. The opening
this year falls on a Thursday, and
the following Monday is Labor. Day,
sotheu-i
p pis will be but two days
at school and then away three, be-
fore they commence regular work in
earnest. In a case of this kind, it
would seem advisable to postpone
the school opening until September
6th, the day after Labor Day.

Weekly Crop Report
The quanity of the 1982 wheat
crop is fair and yields ' are good,
averaging 30 to 40 bushels per acre,
Threshing has been. general in most
localities, Haying operations drag on
and many unharvested fray fields are
evident in Central and Western Ont-
ario. Barley and rye crops are sat-
isfactory, with oats rather uneven.
Corn is backward, while roots prom-
ise an average crop, The tobacco
crop is estimated at 90 per cent. of
the average. Pasturage has been well
maintained by an abundance of
moisture: Weed cutting on the road-
sides has been general.
Marketing Immature Fruit Causes
Lower Consumption
While certain growers persist in
placing immature fruit on the mar-
ket, we cannot expect home con-
sumption of Ontario grown fruit to
reach its full development. This is
the contention of C. E. Broughton,
Ontario Marketing Board.
"The anxiety of these growers to
be the first on the market with their
products," said Mr. Broughton, "is,
no doubt, prompted by a desire to
obtain top price. It should be rem-
embered however that immaturity
means low quality, and low quality
is detrimental to the progress of all
classes of growers, including those
who have never been guilty of at-
tempting to market immature fruit.
".13y marketing fruit which has
of reached the proper stage of nta-
urity, the grower is creating dissat-
sfied customers, and these customers
tivitt become prejudiced .against home
rows .products, thus causing a res-
ricted market."

Ontario Rutabaga Shippers Request
Federal ,Inspection
At a recent meeting of the Ont-
ario Rutabaga Shippers' Association
held at the Agriculture College,
Guelph,, a resolution was adopted
asking the Federal Department of
Agriculture to make effective the in-
spection of all turnips for domestic
and export shipments, according to
G. R. Paterson, Ontario Marketing
Board, It was felt by the shippers
that this was one method of estab-
lishing
stablishing uniformity of pack, and qual-
ity.
Ontario has an extensive market
for rutabagas in the United States,
but this valuable outlet has been
partially blocked, due to the fact that
the Maritime growers have adopted
the practise of inspection through
warehouses,
In addition to this movement to-
wards inspection, the shippers' as-
sociation is giving some thought to.
central grading and packing.
Community Beautification
At a recent meeting of societies
of District No, 2 of the Ontario
Horticultural Association at the cen-
tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, re-
ports received showed in a fine way
the high' degree of efficiency which
has been attained in earring out the
principal object and purpose of the
Association in respect to community
beautification. The report of the dis-
trict Director, J. B. Spencer, B. S. A.
shows that effective work has been
done .in this respect by the following
societies in the district:-
Arnprior, North Gower, Billings
Bridge, Pembroke, Gananoque, Kars,
Almonte, Brockville, Fitzroy Town-
ship, Spencerville and Huntley Town-
ship.
The work was accomplished by
these societies emphasizes in afine
way the value of individual units

Lambs Die Needlessly
"Many .young lambs die needless-
ly," declares Dr. Lionel Stevenson,
provincial zoologist, in an appeal to
fanners to stop tragic loss of so
many lambs before they are ten days
old. In a little booklet issued by the
Provincial Live Stock Branch, he
states three main causes of death:
Joint Ill of Lambs, White Scour of
Lambs, and Necrobacillosis of
Lambs. Dr. Stevenson outlines the
cause, symptoms and proper treat-
ment of these three diseases, In con-
clusion he declares: "It pays to
maintain a high degree of sanitation
when the loss of one lamb represents
a sum of money equal to the additi-
ional labor required to maintain hy-
gienic conditions.. Dead lambs have
no value. Keep them alive and they.
may grow, into money. Clean tip to-
day."
Ontario Potato Outlook
While the season of 1931-32 was
an excellent one for the production
of both early and late potatoes, the
future present quite a different 'as-
pect,
as-pect, according to J. T. Casson, On-
tario Marketing Board.
Federal Government estimates in-
dicate that potato acreage in Ontar-
io this season will show .a decrease
of approximately seven per cent,
over that of the 1931 season, These
estimates set the 1931 acreage in
Ontario at 169,604 as against a prob-
able acreage of 158,000 this year.
Figures for the Dominion of Canada
show a like decrease of 7 per cent,,
being 583,926 acres in 1931, as cona-
ared with 543,700 acres for 1932.
Mr, Casson also stated that, ac-
cording to his calculations; the am-
ount of fertilizer used in the product-
ion of potatoes this year will amount
to only about half of that used last
year: "While we have had. very fav-
orable conditions to date," he con-
tinued, "the crop outlook at this time
does not present the same promise
of yield as did that of the satne per-
iod in 1931."
In conclusion, Mr. Cassin said,
"It is too early to predict the ex-
tent of the 1932 crop but, in of
present ' conditions, it would appear.
'that potatoes are being offered in
quanties larger than the market can
readily absorb, This condition of
course, has brought about the inevit-
able result of sacrifice ;prices."
New Market rot Earley
To Ontario farmers Hon, Thomas
1„ Kennedy passes the information
that the National Breweries Ltd. of.
Montreal have authorized the purch-
ase by the Canadian Malting Co. of.
1,000,000 bushels of highgtade, Ont-
ario -grown barley, suitable for malt-
ing, at a miniti urn of 55 cents per
bushel basis, track Montreal, The
Minister warns that tires barky mast
be sound, clean and reasonably free
from other grains . and weighing 48
Bounds to the bushel. This, is the eq-
uivalent -of .the grain known as
"Three Extra" and should be easily
obtained bs:Abe average Ontario Far-
mer. Several Ontario Counties have
lc.ng regarded barley as a cash crop
and it is hoped that this announce-
ment will give them new confidence
and will stimulate production.
"A price of 55 cents basis, track
Montreal, would mean f, o, b. prices
approximately as follows: Main line
Chatham and surrounding points, 40
cents; n s offlines lie
s or side likes or rad-
ial lines in sante territory, 37 cents;
Central Ontario points, say from
London to Lake Simcoe district, 42
cents; east of that and on to Mont-
reaI, 46 cents. These would represent
the approximate f.o.b. prices paid to
shippers and in the case of barley,
the farmer would, in many cases, be
the shipper, These prices would ap-
ply only to carlot shipments. This
offer is considerably better than
present-day prices on the Montreal
market.
KILLING COUCH GRASS
Exposure of couch grass roots to
the sun for a few days, particularly
during the hot summer months, is
one of the. most effective ways of
ridding the soil of this pest, accord-
ing to studies carried out during the
past five years by the division of
Field Husbandryof
the Dominion
ExPermintal Farms at Ottawa.
Under favorable weather condi-
tions it is possible to kill couch grass
roots completely by two or three
days' exposure but with the presence
of moisture they will retain their vi-
tality for quite a considerable length
of time. The best time to turn couch
grass roots up for sun treatment is
during the hot, dry periods in July
and August. ri
It is difficult to kill couch grass
roots under humid conditions, and
and ploughing .under couch sod is of
comparatively little use in destroying
it, even when ploughed under to a
depth as great as fifteen inches. The
spread of the plant is through the
root system and the only effective
way of eliminating it is to work the
roots up where the sun can get at
thein and burn or dry the vitality
out of them.
The management of the grocery
stcre had changed hands and the
new proprietor was not inclined to
take risks.

LESSON VIII:AUGUST 21
THE TENT OP 'MEETING
Exodus 33: 7-16.
Golden Text.• -»Jehovah spake un-
to Moses face to face, as a man
speaketh unto his friend: lit, 33: 11.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Tine. -B, C, 1498,
Place, --At ,112t. Sinai,
Now Moses 'used ,to take the tent,
Since the tabernacle had not yet
been constructed; this was probably
Moses, own tent, probably the larg-
est 'and best in the encampment, and
converted it from a common to a
sacred use, And to pitch it without
the camp, afar off ft'om the camp.
Not so far that the people could not
see the divine pillar of cloud and
fire standing at the door of the tent
(verse 10 ), but far enough to marls
a separation between the scred and
the secular, such a separation as we
should always maintain. And he
cal-
led it the tent of meeting, This
name
was later transferred to the taber-
nacle, and even now we speak of a
"meeting house." And it came to
pass, that every one that sought Jeh-
ovah, There would •be marry reasons
for seeking him. Went out unto the
tent of meeting, which was without
the camp. What hallowed associat-
ions cluster, around our meeting
houses!
And it carne to pass, when Moses
went out unto the Tent. Moses
must have adopted some other tent
for his abode. That all the people
rose up, and stood, every man at his
tent door, and looked after Moses,
until he was gone into the Tent, Ev-
ery Christian must pray for Himself,.
yet at the same time it is a strengh
thening comfort to know that others
are praying for us, and especially a
beloved pastor.
And it came to pass, when Moses
entered into the Tent, The entrance
was closed behind him, that no pry-
ing and sacrilegious eye might.see
his meeting with the most high. The
pillar of cloud decencled. Of cloud
and not of fire, as it was in the
day-
time, And stood at the door of the
Tent:.A barrier to all but Moses, for
all others had shown themselves un-
worthy of this access to God, And
Jehovah spake with Moses. What
communications the lawgiver had
with his God we are not told,
except in the five books which he
wrote and the many communications
of the divine will which he made to
the people.
And all the people saw the pillar
of cloud stand at the door of the
Tent. Therefore all the people as
they went about their usual tasks,
had this constant token of God's
presence before them, and many a
prayer must have been lifted as they
beheld it, and thought of their lead-
er communing with God inside the
Tent, and offering supplications on
their behalf. Ancl all the people rose
up and worshipped, every rnan at his
ent door. They bent in prayer, not
o the pillar, but to the God whose
ymbol it was.
And Jehovah .spake unto Moses
ce to face, as a man speaketh un -
o his friend. Thus Moses was indeed
re friend cf God, But his minister,
oshua, the son of Nun. 'Minster"
ears servant, assistant. A young

GOD'S PRENCE WITH HIS
PEOPLE.
And Moses .said unto Jehovah,
We are not told on just what oc-
casion this conversation took place,
but it is an example of how Moses
aiid Jehovah spoke "face to face"
(verse 11.) See thou sayest unto me,
.Bring up this people. Not the easy
and familiar way in which Moses re-
minds God of his commands to hint
that he should conduct the Israelites
up from Egypt to Canaan. And thou
hast not let 'rhe know whom thou
wilt send with rhe. God had said
that he would sericl an angel with
him (Ex. 23; 23); where was the
angel, what was his name, how was
he to be recognized? Moses must
often have debated this with himself.
Yet thou hast said, I know thee by
name, and thou hast also found
favor in my sight, Moses was not
doing wrong in thus reminding God.
of his promises and show our earn-
estness and faith by urging their
fulfillment.
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I
have found favour in thy sight,
show me now thy ways, Nothing
will wear one out more than uncert-
ainty. That I may know thee, to the
end that I may find favour in thy,
sight. No one can find favour in
God's eyes or offer prayers accept-
able to God, unless he knows God,
his nature and his will, And consider
that this nation is thy people, Every
Christian has the same right to plead
with God for himself and of his
church, since the Father has adopt-
ed them all.
And he (Jehovah), said, My pres-
ence shall go with thee, and I will
give thee rest. There is no comfort
like aur Lord's last words to his fol-
lowers, before his ascension, "Lo, :I
am with you 'always, even,; unto the
end of the world,"
And he said unto him. Moses is
now the speaker, If my presence go
not with me, carry,tts not tip hence,
Without God, Moses knew they
wottld ,only be going up to Canaan
to meet their destruction,
For wherein now' shall it be known
that I have found favor in thy sight

I and thy people? Is it not in that
thou goest with ars, God's ,presence
is a spiritual thing but it is shown in
its effects. So that we are separated,
I and thy people, from all the people
that are upon the face of the earth?
God makes his glory pass before
us. before our wondering eyes, and
we see that it is goodness. the ast-
ounding glory of broken and shed
blood, the ineffable goodness of
love.
