dent, presided over the meetings, dur-
'ing which' a comprehensive review
was made of some of the . important
projects of the past year, as a guide
to planning for the future. This meet-

In her •re i
p s dential . address, Mrs.•
..Bugh' Somers urged an increase of
inembersbip and the organization of
new Institutes so that' all the' rural
woman' of the Province could be stim-
ulated. to take an. interest beyond
their own homes, and -acquire an Un-
derstanding of national and interna-
tional affairs, so as to play their part
in preserving the democratic wa.y . of
life. She said it was not necessary
to stress to farm women the import-
lanoe of saving food, but she hoped
•that relief in the way of extra farm
workers would soon be available to
carrots just as it. wets the leaves of
the weeds, but for some unknown
reason the oil kills most of the annua�,l
weeds and does not Lill 'the • earrotsf
It might be said that carrots are, not
'allergic ,to oil -sprays.
'1 The latest and most remarkable of
all the chemical geed' killers, 2-4-0
is'i ore highly selective than any
known herbicide. Mo'st,selective weed
killers discolor,temporarily, the crop
in which the weeds are killed. This
is not so with 24-0, it 'k•ills many
species of weeds without causing any
perceptible injury to plants of the
grass family, :
Spring Painting Farm. Buildings
Although some persons may faro
the fall rather than ,the spring fo
painting. farm buildings, F. W. Graves
Architect, Central Experimental Farm
'Ottawa, points out • that there i
usually a good opportunity to carr
out the work in the .spring betweet

ginning of ,haying, provided all; th
repairs to farm machinery and othei
jobs in preparation 'for the' year'.
crops,' have been done. .
The surface to be painted should
be absolutely' dry, and after Iain, fog
or 'dew should be givAn' time to dry
•before.. com genc ng,•o'continuing to
damp weather
paints harden more slowly than in
warm days, so That good .weather in
early summer or in the fall helps to-
wards best results.
If the building ,is to be painted for
the first time, there is an open choice
of the, paint., to. be.. used, __blit, ,in
repainting, unless the old paint has
been• completely- removed. with a
painter's' blow -torch or, paint remover
down to the bare wood, the paint' us-
ed must be of the same kind used
the first time. Changing the type of
paint -in succeeding coats frequently
results in trouble. '
Be sure to use a good quality paint,
advises -Mr. Graves. Good ready-made
mixed paints are easily obtainable,
and for the farmer who prefers to
mix his own paint 'and is familiar
with the job, the necessary materials
are still to be had. White lead in
paste form is one of :the •best white
pigment's used for outside'white. Red
oxide is frequently used for barns and.
outbuildings. Linseed oil has for
many years been the standard sub-
stance in paint for outside. In using
raw linseed oil for making paint,, • a
proportion 'of Japan drier must. he
added to. tbe. mixture. ,Boiled linseed
oil is a prepared oil with better dry-
ing qualities and 'usually does not re-
quire the addition of 'a drier. Turpen-
tine is the 'best thinner of -oil paintp.
Paint drier is, usually sold as a liq-
uid, and to a gallon of raw .oil in
paint not mere' than' three to' eight
per cent of drier should be added.
Breaking up white lead and hand mix-
ing of oil paints, especially when col-
ors are added; are' laborious process-
es requiring .considerable skill -•and
knowledge.'
With regard' to spray painting,
which may be,. carried out at much
lower cost of labor than brush -paint-
ing work, some farmers whorare also
good mechanics have built their own
paint spray outfits, complete with
'compressor paint. tank, air tank .and'
spray gun. • -
Incidentally, there is considerable
correspondence between •farmers.and
the Architect's office concerning farm
building problems, and In recent years
thousands of blueprints of building
plans have been is'stled to farmer
applicants. •
Canadian Horses 'Invade France
If visi'ters to France in the near
future' see outstanding • draft • horses
at work dn, thousands of farms, the'
probability is the horses will be from
Canada. Last year France bought,
'principally in -Western 'Canada, about
$ 0 well bl•oken draft horses, chiefly
Percherons and Belgians, from three
to eight years old, weighing' 1,300
pounds and Upwards.
A French purchasing mission is in
Canada buying several thousand more
horses of the same conformation, but
weighing not less than 1,500 pounds
f.o:b. Montreal. So far about 1,400
have been shipped. in 1946 and -by the
end of the year it is expected that a
Vital of -about 20,000 will 'have landed
in France. Frites for the horses
bought, most of which are from West-
ern Canada, ran from $110 to $165
each f.o.b. Montreal;

Mas Anna. P. Lewis, supelrintend'-
ent of the Women's Institute•' Branch,
in a comprehensive report, foretold
expansion ` of 'the activities, of the
branch through the addition of more
instructors and home economists, and
indicated that two . instructors were
to be appointed in handicrafts, and
that it was. •hoped to have a psycholo-
gist added to the departmental staff
to direct a course in family living.
Miss Lewis .also stated that the school
of training for judges for women's
classes at Fall Fairs was being re-
sumed, and__was being held at ISempt-
ville this month. Speaking of pro-
gram planning, Miss Lewis said the
program must be made .attractive to
the young matrons for whom the Wo-
men's 'Institutes, were for.
Sbe saw in the Institutes a strong
rural force giving leadership to the
rural women • of Ontario, but to .be
that they must meet adequately, the
needs of the rural women.
Mrs, J. R. Futcher, St. Thomas, -re-
ported on the visit of a coinmittee
representative of the Women's
ganizations of the Province to the
Prime Minister of Ontario to present
a brief asking for the abolition of wo-
men's beverage rooms. She said she'
hoped for good results 'from ' this
action. _
Plans • which are being developed
for the observance next year of the
50th anniversary of the •founding of,
