THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
How ofte.t have we heard "It is.
better to give titan to receive:" This
saying- has passed down through the
ages unchanged and to -day carries a
aigni£icance greater than ever before,
Christmas in all Christian coun-
tries has .always been a time when
great effort is put forth to make the
children and those who are unfortun-
ate'and in need, happy. This is truly
a won,d.erful spirit and any organiza-
tion that helps to carry out this idea
.of goodwill deserves support.
The Chamber of Commerce is
.main this year holding its annual
X.rnas Tree and the supplying of
Xmas baskets. Your help is needed.
this year as never before, so plan
pow togive cheerfully and be as
generous as you possibly can.

Saul, why persecutest thou me? The
question identifies the mysterious and

Christ, whom Paul was persecuting
in the persons of his followers, and
who would also have accepted the
least kindness done to these folow-
ers as done to himself; It is hard
for thee to kick against the goad.

been repugnant to the awful work in
which he was engaged,

News and Information
For the Busy Farmer
Guelph Winter Fair
On December 6, 7 and 8, the On-
tario Provincial' Winter Fair at
Guelph will celebrate its 50th' ,nni
versary with what promises to be one
of the most successful show's 1t' its
history. Special provincial is being
made for a new judging ring sothat
the public may better view the ex-
hibits this year than in any previous
year. For half a century the Guelph
Winter Fair has been giving a valu-
able lead to the live stock industry
and agriculture itt general, A record
entry is assured and there should be.
a large attendance by farmers front
counties within driving distance.
Grading is Desirable
The current issue of the Econom-
ic Annalist, official organ of the fed-
eral Agricultural Economics Branch,
is the source of the following state-
ment:

ance of grades is particularly desir-

itt mind that their products will meet

perchance other : countries. It will
pay to study trade requirements and
competitive practices and to build > a
sales policy around a product sold
on the basis of standardized grades."
Grass Seed Propects
The' Preliminary report on clover
and grass seed production for 1932
issued by the Dominion Seed Branch
summarizes prospects for the current
year as follows:
"Clovers and alfalfa promise a
much smaller total yield of seed in
Canada than last year, while more
timothy and blue grass are int pros-
pect, Alfalfa prospects are poor, as'
the first cut failed to set seed in On-
tario, and a short crop of alfalfa
seed is expected in Southern Alberta.
Alsike is much reduced in acreage in
Ontario and is yielding under aver-
age.
"A considerably reduced acreage of
sweet clover for seed is reported in.
the Western provinces, also in On-
tario. Brome and western rye grass
in the western provinces promise
much more seed than last year ow-
ing to more moisture dafring the
growing season. The acreage of bent
grass for seed in Prince Edward Is-
land is reported at about 25 per cent.
less than last year.",
Sweet Potatoes
A crop of 3,500 . bushels of fine
quality sweet potatoes was grown on
a farm of 62 acres near Delhi in
Norfolk County this season by Dr,
Fitzsimmons, a native of the district
who had resided for some years. in
New Jersey, and who was struck by
the similarity of the soil in the
sweet--potato-growing areas of that
State to that of. Norfolk. The excel-
lent . tubers produced by hint this
summer have attracted widespread
interest and the producer had more
orders ham he could fill. His farm is
in the heart of the tobacco district
and it is quite likely that other far- !
mers will be tempted to turn from
tobacco to sweet potatoes next year.
The tobacco drying kilns can be us-
ed for dehydrating the tubers.
Current Crop Report
Reports
from agricultural repre-
sentatives reveal much dissatisfaction
among farmers due to low prices of
live stock and produce being offered.
Eggs are the one bright spot in the
farm returns at present, but egg sup-
plies are very limited. Fall wheat
looks promising in most districts.
Live stock are in good condition and.
the majority are now stabled. Mid-
dlesex reports that harvesting of tur,
nips and sugar beets was seriously
delayed by wet weather. Sugar beets
have been yielding up to 20 tons per
acre in that county, • though sugar
content ,is frequently as low 'as 14
per "cent. Lincoln and other coun-
ties reported that heavy and contin-
ued rains made it possible to plow
soils which were almost too hard to
turn over previously, Froth Port Ar -

The Canadian Bacon Quota
The quota of 2,500,000 cwt. of ba-
cons and hams assigned to Canada
by the United. Kingdom is not, of
itself, of any particular importance.
At the present time and f'or all time
past Canada has had unresticted en-
trance into the British market. She
has now been set a definite quota
that she may export but that quan-
tity is so large that it will be a mat-
ter of a number of years before the
figures of 2,500,000' cwt. (280,000,000
lbs.), have any specific meaning.
The importance of Canada's bacon
quota is that it is part of the plan,
the main feature of which is the an-
nounced policy of the United King-
dom to restore a reasonable stability
in the British market for meat pro-
ducts, by means of the limitation of
the importations of all classes of
meats of which bacon arid. ham is
one.
The details of the working out of
the plan of limitation devolves upon
Great Britain; it has been adopted
by her as the means of aiding first
her home farmers, and second, the
farmers of the Dominion.
It is from this standpoint, and in
view of the general policy laid down,
that Canada's bacon quota is import-
ant to the farmers of Ontario
