However, to be ouite fair all around, there . were circumstances which did not make it as complete a test as might have been desired.;' Stubbs counted on the farmers for the bulk of his support, especially the "New Canadian" element. It hap- pened that a severe blizzard was blowing over the constituency on the • day of polling, and the total vote was much lower than -it had' been in 1930, the rural voters being chiefly affected. Another factor working a- gainst the C. C. F. was the fact that Stubbs was an "imported" candidate, hailing from another province. Still, the fact remains that Stubbs, an eloquent orator, was unable to beat the Liberal, generally regarded as a very • ordinary contestant. Al- so, in New Brunswick, where a Far- mer-Laibor (but not a C. C. F.) can- didate ran, he lost his deposit. The Conservative rout was . especially marked in the Far West, and in New Brunswick. • In the former• seat the Conservatives received about a quar- ter as neany votes 'as the Liberals, and, only twice as many as the Com- munists. In Nevi Brunswick also, the Conservative candidate lost his deposit, polling less than half as many votes as his successful rival. There is still another vacancy to be filled by 'by-election. This time it is an Ontario riding, thrown open by the death of the member. Exports Arouse Comment ' Considerable comment has been a- roused in the Canadian capital by the steadily increasing exports of nickel to Europe. There is some suspicion that a considerable quantity of it is making its way into central Europe and is being, used to manufacture war munitions.

There would be (Condensed from The American Mer- cury in Reader's Digest,) When aeronautical •'engineers are told that this year's automobiles have greatly reduced their air resistance by adding fal,ee grills to their radiators, and terrible -looking excrescences to their lower rear ends, and by round- ing off a few corners—they laugh long and ribadly. Making a 5 per cent. change in last year's car and labelling the result streamlined, they will tell you, is like chromium -plat- ing the knobs on your grandmother's brass bed and hailing it Modernist, The resistance of the ah• to the moveme'et of vehicles is no mere bugaboo made up to move excess production off the sales floor. It is really there. At 30 miles an hour the average sedan spends half its power churning up the ambient ate ar.'osphere, raising dust and whistling at the corners of its windshield. At 60 qr 70 miles an hour five -sixths of the engine's work is devoted to the same futile purpose. ' An ideally streamlined body some- thing like an airship in shape and of the same frontal area as an automo- bile, would encounter onlly about a tenth as much air resistance as the average automobile encounters now.

Burney, the British airship expert, has built seven or eight of these really streamlined cars.

Ite resistance was then measured—and found to be actually a little less than that of the enclos- ed car. A perfectly streamlined form would be one which would permit a fluid to flow past its without setting up any' eddies (turbulence, whirleeols, vortices ).. The optimum shape is that• deigned into the hulls of air- ships: a round, almost blunt nose, a maximum. width in frcnt of the mid - length, and a long, comparatively sharp tail, - Of most importance is the flow over the tail section. Con- trary to a common belief, turning the shape around and putting the sharper end in front substantially in- creases the resistance. An orthodox automobile, with its narrow engine in front and its bulb- ous tonneau in the rear, is doing ex- actly • this turn -about. Even if • a fairly. smooth •flow were brought to the back of the car, the blunt rear would let the air go boiling into the wake in a set of first-class eddies. This 'brings up difficulty No. 1 in re- ducing the resistance of a conven- tional automobile. The only really effective way to correct the air flow in the wake •.\f a sedan, say, would be to add on to it a long and other- wise useless tapering tail, about dou- bling the ,length of the ear. This would make parking so impossible anywhere but in an open field that it would be out of the question. !Difficulty No, 2 lies in the neces- sary existence ' of 'a windshield at some point behind and above the en- gine. A thin, flat plate, held at right angles to the fluid flow, leads all other geogmetrical forms in develop- ing resistance. - The windshield there- fore creates quite a drag by itself. It also completely ruins the flow over the top half of the car. A third poser is the radiator. When it is closed it is a flat plate. When it is open it admits air into the engine compartment, whence it emerges through openings in the side of the hood just in time to spoil the flow along the sides of the car. !Fourth, fifth, sixth, to twenty-sec- ond are all the things outside the' body itself.

It will ;be interesting, though hard- ly thrilling, to see what the Detroit producers are going to do about it, now that they are at long last air - resistance conscious. To judge from their present feeble attacks on the' problem, they would seem to have persuaded themselves that the con- sumer needs a decade of models as education between current cars 'and the ,practical ultimate. For three or four yearly epoch- making models we shall be treated to more and more modified mudguards, rounded body corners, and reduced windshields. Then with a fanfare of trumpets there will be a rush to in- corporate the headlights with the fenders or the radiator' shell. Some will put the spare tires into compart- ments under the rear seat. Some will streamline the axles. Tails will be dished. Tails will be humped, Tails will get longer. Bodies will become the same width all the way back. All this will reduce the air resistance a- bout 20 per cent. . Then saint not very popular car will break out of the herd and take the plunge of putting the engine in ee Canada's Poultry • Canada's world-wide fame for ef- ficiency and the high quality of her poultry has once more (been fully demonstrated. With the return from the Fifth World's Poultry Congress, which was held at Rome, Mt. F. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Husband- man, official co -delegate with Mr. W. A. Brown, Chief of the Poultry Di- vision, Dominion Litre Stock Branch, seine specially interesting informa- tion is being obtained with regard to this historical meeting. Canada was the only exhibitor of live birds having government official records, a fact which created wide- spread interest, visitors from all parts of the world arriving at the Congress Exhibit demanding to be shown the birds with the Government certificates. Canada was represented by a small but attractive educational exhibit and by a number of Registered R. 0. P. and Exhibition fibred birds. When the Live Bird Exhibit was being pre- pared, and (because the birds were first promised Iby the Canadian Na- tional Poultry Record Association, it was considered better business not to sell these birds, but to donate them to persons, institutions or govern- ments where they would do the most good for •Canada. Among the birds that were donated was a trio - of Chanteciers to His Holiness the Pope, several trios to the Italian Govern- ment and a trio to the British Con- sul General in Rome. There were also the two official delegates already mentioned, and in addition many Canadians attended in their private capacity. The Educa- tional Exhibit told 'the story of Can- ada's notional breeding policy; il- lustrations showing poultry instruc- tion in schools and with boys and girls' clubs, farmers' flocks, the in- terior of a poultry laboratory, 'poul- try culling and selection, R. 0.

MADE -IN -CANADA GOODS grading, etc. The attractiveness an the completeness of 'the story mad the 'Canadian exhibit a very popula one. 'One remarkable point albout th Congress was that it marked the re opening of the Market •of Trajanu after a period of 2,000 years. Dur ing all that time the market place had 'been, lying buried among the an- cient ruins of Rome, and twenty cen- turies ago had been the popular pro- duce market where the Roman citi- zens purchased their eggs and poul- try from the farmers. These ruins have been dug out and repaired; and, significantly enough, • the reopened market was first used for the Edu- catio,pal and Live Bird Exhibits of the Fifth World's Poultry 'Congres. It Was here in the Capitol that the cackling of the sacred geese pre- vented the capture of the ancient Ro- man citadel by the ibarbarians, so that the historic setting of the '•Mar- ket for the Congress was especially appropriate. However, the six floors and the numerous stairways of old stone steps were not the most con- venient for an exhibit of this kind, nor the most advantageous for the attendants who had to climb five or six stories from one exhibit to an- other. The Congress Sessiods were held in the building of the Agricultural Institute, and were attended by dele- gates from practically every Euro- pean country and from Japan, Pales- tine, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States and Can- ada. These Congresses are the tri -an- nual meetings.o'i the World's Poultry Science Association, and Professor Antonio Ghigi of Italy was selected Congress Director and its next presi dent. The delegates were given every op- portunity for sight-seeing, which in- cluded Rome and its environs— Naples, Pompeii, Vesuvius, etc. On two afternoons, sections' of •Italy were shown where swamps had been drained and the land reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The stupen- dous work done iby theMussolini Government was made apparent by a visit to places such as Littoria, where 65,000 acres ten years ago vvas a malarial swamp, covered at times with several feet of water, are to- day reclaimed land being shaped in- to farms. A part of this is devoted to cultivated farms inhabited by a happy population,' with the death rate from malarial fever almost non-ex- istent. d fifty of these •were entered by com- e mercial firms. This' would clearly in - ✓ ,dicate an attitude of co-operation, taken by Toronto merchants, towards e any move designed for stimulating - the sale of Ontario farm products. S , Storage of Honey .. 'In a honey' storage test at the Dominion Bee Division, Ottawa, no definite spoilage was found in sample after three years' storage kept in constant temperatures of 40 and 50 degrees P., bk.; two sanilples spoiled at 60 and four samples at 70 degrees. Samples exposed to fluctuating tem- peratures from below zero to over 100 degrees all fermented. FARM NOTES Where Crops Fit in. There are some crops which are not well suited to very fertile soils. Buckwheat, for examlple, often pro- duces too much straw and too little grain on rich soils, especially those soils which are very high in nitro- gen. Oats are likely to . lodge badly on soils too rich in nitrogen. On the other hand, a fertile soil is essential for profitable yields of wheat and barley. Rye will grow well on rich soils but it is also a particularly good crop for light infertile soils. Turnips require a fairly fertile soil, but, if the soil is unbalanced in its fertility by having an over -abundance of nitrogen in comparison with other elements of fertility, there will be luxuriant tops but small roots. Farm Products Week !Farm Products 'Week, an annual feature in the activities of the On- tario Department of Agriculture, was brought to a !successful conclusion on Saturday, October 21st. Entrants to the Window Dressing Competition, conducted throughout the province during the week, num- bered approximately twenty-five hun- dred chain and independent stores. It is interesting to note that of more than a mile of trucks, entered in the Farm Products Parade, held in Toronto on Wednesday, October 18th, Topics of .Timothy Tinvothy is used in Canada alm!p to the exclusion of other grasse largely because clean' seed of stron vitality is generally available at low price. The expense per acre o seeding is less than with any othe grass. Timothy, if fed alone, is o low nutritive value for growing an imals or for 'milk production, becaus it is deficient in flesh -forming con stituents. It is, therefore, not a pro fitable fodder by itself for those pur poses. A liberal mixture of clove improves it. It is favored for wor horses that have heavy grain ration as well, and, on account of its di ge.stibility, it is the standard hay fo livery horses required to work im mediately after feeding. st s, g' a f r e r k s r Harvesting and Handling Rutabagas or Swede Turnips for Shipping Purposes • The following are the recommenda- tions which have been made by the Fruit and Vegetable Branch of the Dominion Government and the Field Husbandry Department of the On- tario Agricultural College on the harvesting of rutabagas or Swede turnips for shipping purposes,•,,. One of the most important ,opera- tions in connection with grooving rutabagas or Swede turnips for ship- ping is harvesting and too much em- phasis cannot be placed on the im- portance of this phase in the growing of this crop. 1(1) All • rutabagas intended for shipping „should be pulled by hand. No machinery has yet been devised which will lift the roots without caus- ing serious injury. (2) When possible the roots should be harvested when they are dry. They should be taken to he car or stored as soon as possible af- ter pulling. Exposure to wind and sun soon causes them to become dis- colored and lose their bloom. (3) The greatest care should be taken in trimming, as many rutabag- as are spoiled for shipping through careless trini!ming. The roots should be trimmed as pulled. The large tap root is cut off close to the body of the rutabaga and the dirt and root- lets brushed off with the back of the trimming knife. While it 4 neces- sary to remove the tip .of the tap root and the rootlets, great care should be taken to avoid any injury to the body of the root which would hurt its appearance and keeping qualities. The top or neck should be cut off. within one inch of the body of the root. In cutting off the top or neck, the body is frequently rut into and the root destroyed for ship- ping. - (4) Roots punctured with a fork either in loading in the fields or at the car are destroyed for shipping purposes. (5) Rutalbagas are frequently cut, bruised, or even split through rough handling and their market value de- stroyed. (6) It 'should be remembered that the housewife buys individual turnips and' her eye is the guide to what she buys. Mice Injure Orchards' One of the greatest hazards in the growing of an apple orchard is the danger of girdling by mice. This is especially true in orchards under sod culture, although even orchards under clean cultivation are frequent- ly subject to considerable damage from this cause. The amount of damage*caused by these animals ,var- ies greatly from year to year, de- pending largely upon their available supply of food.

Minister Announces Field Crop Competitions.; "Field Crops represent approxi- mately 50 per cent. of the gross agri- cultural revenue' of Ontario," said Hon, • Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister .. of Agriculture. "Figures for the year 1932 indicate that of the gross\ revenue of 822.6,000,000, , field crops are credited with 3113,000,000. ' "For this reason," continued CoI- onel Kennedy, "it is my opinion that field crops should be given a consid- erably more prominent place at Coun- ty Fairs and at the larger exhibitions. Growers, as a result of, such recogni- tion, •would be greatly encouraged to produce better seed and, consequent- ly better farming in their respective areas. Along this line, the Minister of Agriculture mentioned that 'many de- velopments and improvements are in prospect for the coming Winter Fairs at Guelph and Ottawa. He said that there will be a particularly ,interest- ing departure from the routine of past years in that a grain class is Provided this year, open to Agricul- tural Societies. This class replaced the field crop competition class which has been included for many years. Under the new arrangement en- tries will be made through the Secre- tary of each Agricultural Society, and in the case of awards 60 per cent. of the total prize will go to the ex- hibitor, while 40 per cent. will go to the Society of which the exhibitor is a member.Each exhibit shall include five lots of grain and .seed. There must be a lot each of wheat (Winter or Spring). oats and barley; and two lots select- ed from the following: Clover (any kind) ; alfalfa, timothy, corn• • (Flint or Dent); rye, buckwheat, flax, field peas, field beans and soya beans. Each lot "shall contain one bushel except flax, alfalfa, clover and timo- thyone-half bushel, and corn, ten ears. All grain and seed must have been produced in 1933, by bona -fide mem- bers of each Society making entry. No member may contribute more than one lot to be exhibited in this class. •-•1'Prizes, being offered by the On- tario Department of Agriculture, for exhibits containing five lots of grain and seed, follow: First prize, fifty oilers; second prize, forty dollars; hird prize, thirty dollars; fourth rize, twenty dollars; fifth prize, fif- teen teen dollars; sixth prize, fifteen dol - ars; seventh prize, fifteen dollars ; rize, prize, fifteen„ dollars; ninth Sze, fifteen dollars; and tenth prize, fifteen dollars.
