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-»:

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.

,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. Detail-
ed information on the compounding
of rations for poultry is available on
