ITOR SEAFORTH, Friday, August 29th The C..NJ' Canada's National Exhibition is in full swing for the •,' first year since 1941. Unquestionably the great- est fair of its kind on, ,the North American continent, it seems to have lost none of its popularity on account of its forced closing owing to war and *reconstruction of buildings which were used as barracks during the war years. Opened first as the Toronto Exhi- bition in 1879, the fair has gradually grown during the years until its at- tendance ttendance had reached well over the iniillion mark when war conditions forced its suspension in 1941. On opening day last week the ,attend-, ance was well -over one hundred thousand, and it is contdently antici- pated that before the gates close all records of attendance will be beaten by many thousands. Lgoking for a reference in an old Me of The Expositor a short time - ago, we noticed an item stating that, over one hundred tickets had.. been sold at Seaforth' station for Toronto Fair on one day alone. That fact will recall many pleasant, memories to those who can recall the days of fifty years ago. How in that day any youth in town or country, who had been to the To-' , ronto, ' Fair considered himself , a world traveller and was so consider- ed by his less fortunate friends and playmates. But to old, as well as •- young and middle-aged, Toronto Fair was the travel goal of the year. Fathers and others and one or two of the els st children, if they were considered at all, which was not uncommon in that day, would- 'ry" plan for a year for such a trip. If they had' relatives in the city, •the way was made easier.' -But there were ; many boarding houses and many small hotels, and although the latter charged a dollar or even a dol- lar and a quarter a day, . it was the whole year's travel blowout and seemed to justify -at least one day's expense. Travel too, was all by rail in slow trains with overcrowded coaches. But time never hung heavy on the traveller's hands. There, was ' too much to see. Villages with strange names; new and larger towns to go through, and then the big city itself.' In fact, Toronto Fair set the time ,tables for most of the towns in West- ern Ontario. Day after day, while the fair lasted, trains would run an hour and more behind time. But people never complained or expected anything else. The fair explained it all. Today people don't plan a year ahead to attend the Toronto Exhibi- tion, Particularly the younger gen- eration. To them the C.N:E. is just another fair which they will probab- ly attend during the year, if the spir- it moves them and the car is in run- ning order. And Toronto is just an- other city they will visit during some season of the year. - But we doubt very much if the younger generation, at least, will experience half the thrill another generation experienced in getting up before daylight to make the long drive to town to catch the early morning train. And on the home trip the train was slower, standing room was usually at a premium, and the heat was terrific. It was all de- , rightful, however. Every ininute of it. - • The Death °Toll In the first six months of 1947 an average of 80 people have been kill- ed by automobiles on highways in the ° United States. This total of 14,490 deaths in six months is the 'worst disaster that has ever been ex- perienced in that nation. If that total of deaths had ever been experiented in a single accident, the ' news would have:4 circled the World, , and been first page news in ,every country for weeks to come. ,Atit t deaths from motor accidents, do not occur all at once,, They are scat- tered in ones and twos through the news, and because of that fact peo- ple largely pay no attention to them. But eyerrtually the American peo- ple will become' conscious of this slaughter, and begin to wonder if they are a sane people. The fact that one of their people is killed every 18 minutes of the 24-hour day, and that most of these deaths are, avoidable, must sink in some time. And we hope that time will be soon. .. But at the same time, we in Can- ada, can not point our finger at our neighbors to, the Sduth. We deplore our national calarnaties, our forest fires and deaths resulting from them; our factory explosions and mining mishaps, and even minor ac- cidents, but when thirty people were killed .in Ontario over the week -end, . and most of 'them on our highways, we just take it as a matter of course. • Britain In Other Daps There is no gainsaying the fact that the people of Great Britain are in desperate straits. They have been bankrupted by the war, production is down, and food is scarce. The government 'is' desperate for pur- chasing funds; taxes are burdening and the people every time they are told they will have to tighten their. belts again, seem to show dis- couragement for a time. - But only for a time.. Their reac-, tion has been amazing. They• • be- lieve they will win out. That is the same spirit possessed by the British people in the desperate days of the last century. But people of modern days have always considered and ,looked upon Britain as a great, rich and powerful nation. She was all 'that until the . two Great Wars: And if history repeats,. she will be that again. That is=what the British- people, and those who • know them,. believe. And they have a long history. Recently the London, England, Times published some comments of the nation's greatest statesmen and leaders during the early years of the last century. They sound almost un- believable to us today: William Pitt: "There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair." Wilberforce: In the early 1800;s: "I dare not marry; the future is so dark and unsettled." ".• Lord Shaftesbury (1848) : "Noth- ing can save the British Empire from shipwreck." Disraeli (1849) : "In industry, commerce and agriculture, there is, no hope." The Duke of Wellington " on his deathbed (1851). thanked God that he •would be "spared from seeing the consummation of ruin that is gath- ering • about us." We believe with the British people that a hundred years from now, their present fears will be just as fanciful as those experienced' by their people of another day. • Have You Noticed? If you have been doing any driving over the highways this summer,. have you noticed a drastic cut in the dandelion crop? It is• particularly noticeable on the grounds of • public and private buildings in the, larger towns and cities. A few short years ago almost ev- ery'lawri and public park in every town and city in Ontario was a car- pet of gold. Very pretty to look at from a distance, but very, very dis- couraging to every ,horti°ctilturalist and gardener. And what was, worse, there didn't seem to beany cure for them. Even learned professors had said :that. elimination of dandelions from lawns, streets andboulevards was impossible. They came without ask- ing every year, and they always would. But the 'impossible did happen. Some one invented that deadly. foe of broad-leaved plants, 2,4-D and 'all over the country it has been work- ing its quiet, deadly work until the result is amazing. Of course there are dandelions left —millions of them. But most of them will be found in your own lawn or garden, and they will remain there and continue to travel over the neighborhood as long as you are' too indifferent or too lazy to call on your druggist and ask him for some 2,4-»: ears Agone Intere$ine items picked tron4 loiter oe any and twout>r*Ye ye•ri ago., From The Hut`on Expositor August 25, 1922 Anniversary servdoee at the Metho= dist •church, • Bayfield, were held Sunday with Rev.

KM, LAZY AQWS._ _.. We threshed two fields of oats last w eek.o The thresher arrived in the morning with a tractor, pulling a steel separator. Be whipped the eep- arator down into the field, pulled it up to a position with the tractor . set the tractor, put on the belt, and we were oil our way by seven -thirty. . The method certainly is different from 'what it used, to be when thresh- ing was done by steam engines. There was probably, more thrill for the youngsters in the oldrfashioned method. When the threshing machine hit • your .road, you immediately start- ed planning, as to how; you could duck out of work so as to spend at least the bigger portion of the afternoon watching the machine. The' greatest thrill of all happened when the machine was comins to your farm. • Word would come up that they were going tte finish up at the neighboring farm at night. About ten o'clock you would hear the ma- chine thundering up the'road, sparks flying from the stack, and coats sift: ing down from the firebox on to the rad. ..Usually they pulled the ma- ehine• into the barnyard. •The man on the separator would spend an hour or so with a lantern greasing up the separator. The engineer would -work around t'he big engine, and the young fellow driviag the team en. the tank wagon would stable the horses. Just at daybreak, or a little before, you would hear them out working B7' Hairy O BOY* around the barnyard. They had. to. get up steam, set the separator in the barn, and the taiikman would' be off to the creek for a tank of water. Chcres were skimmed through at a rate never possible on another occa- sion, unless it happened to be tete day the folks were going to the fall fair. The separator • would be in place, the belt on, and the engine with a full head of steam on, The men would start drafting in carrying forks. There would. be a couple of blasts on the whistle and the threshing would be on. It always seemed to me that they greatest ambition a boy,'could have in life would be to run a steam engine. I.t was a mighty :monster that pound ed away all day long, -jig -klieg a lit- tle on the blocks, and keeping that belt running at a steady pace. The engineer was a man with a touch of showmanship in . him,-, TdaeS" •machine would belch steam, or else he would bo poking around it with a grease gun or an oil can, and in off times he or the tankman would be :sawing Up rails for the great firebox that seemed to consume them at a tre- mendous rate. It's all gone now. The glamour has. gone out of threshing. I often won- der if the men running tractors, that seem to go along without much atten- tion of any kind; don't long for the old-fashioned steam engine at, times, just so they could provide a show for the children. N , ,. JUST A SMILE OR TWO Mrs. Jones returned from a visit to the doctor very cross indeed. "Do you know that he charged me ten and sixpence for painting my throat,yvith iodine?" she complained. "I don't call that very much," re- plied Mrs. Brown. "Not much!' said Mrs. Jones. "Why I had my kitchen whitewashed all ov- er 'for twenty-five shillings!" • • The street car had been delayed by a truck stalled on the tracks, and the operator was trying to make up time. At 'a ,stop an • elderly lady ambled .slowly from the curb to the car. "Please hurry, madam," urged the operator. "We've got to get along." "Oh you men!" sighed the old lady, as she put' her ticket in the box, "you're all the same.

Huron Federation Of Agriculture--FarmNewe ,Heavy Feed :Movement Figures indicate that an unusually large quantity of western feed grains and millfeeds were shipped east dur- ing the 11 -month period ended June 30, 1947. 'The movement of western feed wheat was down compared with the corresponding period of" the pre- vious year, but this was more than offset by increased shipments• of oats, barley, screenings and millfeeds.. The net increases over 1946 for all these feeds was 16,414 tons for Ontario, 113,420 tons .• for Quebec, 18,435 tons for. New Brunswick,- 23,482 tons for Nova Scotia. and 1,974 tons for Prince Edward Island, makitg a total of 173,728 tons. Wheat shipments de- creased by five million bushels, but oats increased by nearly -ten -million bushels `arid barley by .3.5 million bushels. Hog Marketings Up 18% in July Hog marketings during July of this year rose .18 per cent above those of July, 1946, L. W. Pearsall, Chairman of the Mpat Board has announced. . Last July was the third successive month to show greater marketings than in the corresponding months of 1946, June advancing` 15 per cente and May, eight per cent. July's increased marketings were almost entirely due. to heavier offer- ings from Eastern Canada which mar- keted 29.7 per cent more hogs than in July, 1946. Ontario • rose by 39.5 per cent and Quebec by 49.1 per cent. 'Hog emarketings from the. Three prairie provinces. were down 6.7 per cent from those of July, 1946, but are improved from June, 1947, when they were 13.7 per cent less than in -June, 1946. All Canada hog marketings for the first seven months of 1947 total 2,- 619,210, or five per cent less -than -the 2,753,109 'liege marketed. during the corresponding period of 1946. Annoying. Flies Geod.. For Ducks Do not be too annoyed if the, wind-: shield of the raptor car becomes cov- ered with, smallish files or if they swarm into the house at this time of the year, urges H. L. Seamans, Act- ing Dominion Entomologist.. The rea- son for his plea in behalf of the Ca& dice' flies; improperly called sand or buffalo flies, is that ducks and fishes thrive on them and. well fed ducks and fis'hee mean food and good sport in season. Moreover, the flies are -harmless, says Mr, Seamans. . Just now these flies• are particu- larly abandant along the Niagara, St. Lawrence, the. Ottawa and other riv- ers in Eastern Canada, There are no very effective measures of control, he says, but sprays eontainin.g DDT or pyrethrum may help a little. The flies would be meth • more of a pest if it were not for the fact that they make a .good meal for' several species, of birds while in flight, and that ducks and fishes regard them in the imma- ture stage as a gourmand does cav- iar. , - Protein Feeds in Poultry Rations P.reteins are -need, by poultry either to build new tissues as in growth and mere—Election, or ' to repaheswora Liss ,sues.' if adequate proteins • axe leek- ing in the diet, there is a quiek re- duction or stoppage of growth. Pro- teins are made up basically of amino acids, of which ten are considered es- sential or indispensable to the bird. If a deficiency of one. or more of. these essential amino acids occur the effectiveness of the protein portion of the feed in general will be great- ly reduced, says 'Mortis Novikoff, Poultry Division, Central Experimen- tal Farm, Ottawa. ' Satisfactory ,results obtained .With animal protein feeds,, such as meat and fish meal, are not just chance occurrences, but occur'because prac- tically all the amino acids lacking in the grain portion of the diet are sup- plied by these animal proteins. With the accumulation of information, the term "protein" is gradually being re- placed by "amino acids", and rightly so. The quality of a protein is de- termined by the availability and quan- tity of its amino acids. In general, there are 'three 'ways of correcting an amino acid deficiency in the diet. One is to add the..miss- ing'amino acid in pure form. For ex- ample, soybean meal proteins are de- ficient in only one • amino .acid, meth- 'ionine: Pure methionine when add- ed to 'such a diet would correct the deficiency. This procedure is as Yet too expensive to be "practical: An- other method i to choose a combina- tion of protein "feeds so that the amino acid deficiency of one 'protein will .be compensated for by. a suflci- ency of the deficient required amino acid in the other. For • example, milk is low in the amino acids, glycine and ,arginine but high in tryptophane, while meat -meal is high in the two first mentioned and low in trypto- phane. When combined in certain Proportions, milk and meat meal pro- teins will compensate for. the defici- encies: in each other. This, is the more practical method. A sound pol- icy in poultry nutrition is to rely on a variety of protein sources rather 'than- on a single one. When • a par - ,tial deficiency in an amino acid oc- curs it is sometimes possible to meet .the needs of the bird by simply feed- ing a higher percentage of the pro- tein in the diet. This its usually int - practical and is wasteful of protein, which is one of the most expensive components of the diet. Unlees a reasonably accurate know- ledge of the amino acids which go to make up the proteins of feeding mix- tures is available, it is a sound pol- icy to rely on proteins from a variety of sources such as meat meal, fish meals, dried 'mills products .and soy- bean meal, •so as . to ensure that the important protein portion of the ra- tion is adequate and can be effec- tively utilized, by the birds. "When protein feeds are. in short supply it is important to be aware, 'of the amino acid deficiencies of the co:mmon•ly used proteins, Under these circumstances the a.clvice of nutrition specialists should be sought.
