A widespread response from all types of farmers through- out each province is needed in or- der that the statistics can be bas- ed on a sufficiently large number of reports from a representative sample of farms throughout Can- ada. The survey has no connection with taxation.

That's better . . now dip gently into the ink and start your scrawlin' the latest sport gossip whispered around here and there. Before 'we delve into the com- ing Fall season of sport we would like to -congratulate all softball organizations . . players, etc., on the splendid showing during the past summer. There is little doubt in the minds of all sport fans but that this was Seaforths greatest .summer sport season. Next year it will be better as leagues just formed will have had a season be- hind them and should continue to show more improvement from the experience gained to warrant a better brand• of ball next ,summer. Just one more word, and this is in regard to banquet or banquets re the softball leagues, etc.' We believe it is time the Seaforth Amateur Athletic Association held their regular meeting with their financial report. No doubt the Leg- ion sponsored juvenile league will hold a meeting. A full report of the Intermediates and Girls team should be forthcoming in the near future. We hope to be able to en- lighten the sporting public real soon with a complete report of the summer's activities. . Hockey news is to the fore now and already plans are being laid for the coming winter. The local picture, as far as we have heard, is the fact that at a recent meet- ing of the Seaforth Athletic As- sociation, a committee, composed of Archie Dobson, chairman, W. J. O'Shea, Gus Boussey, Ray Mulford and Ralph McFadden is to hadle the hockey in Seaforth this season. We hope to see the juveniles back again and would also like to see an industrial league organiz- ed. The youngsters are also look- ing forward to the open-air rinks again. Now is the time to start organizing and get prepared. We ,remember of the three rinks last season proposed, one rink was nev- er completed. If all material is ready now and committees put in charge, these rinks should all be ready to go soon after the first snow and real frost. Give all the youngsters a real 'break; prepare the foundations now. M. L. "Tory" Gregg was re-elect- ed President of the W.O.A.A. in Wingham recently.

MoKillop Township they are as- sured of a real practical welcome. That was the experience of Roy Wildfong, who recently purchased a farm on the 13th Con- cession of McKillop, between Walton and Manley. Mr. Wildfong, a veteran of four years, who always had had a desire to farm, was afraid his first year's work would be retarded because he had no plowing done. However, this was soon corrected when the neighbors arrived in force, bringing teams and tractors and turned over 35 acres. Everything was contributed by the neigh- bors, and now Mr. Wildfong is certain to be ready for his spring planting, Above, from the left, are Bill Leeming, Campbell Lane, Ralph McNichol, Glenn McNichol, Tom Storey, Jr., Murray Dennis, Ross Leeming and Elliott- Hackwell.

We believe the S.H.S. should be rather than evening lights or morning and evening combined. Morning lights conform with good .l•oultry practice, states J. R Cav- ers, Professor of Poultry Husban- congratulated on their fine sports Ct` at the Ontario Agricultural manship and hope they might be practice t the same time, such l t tctice will help Hydro to relieve 'he peak evening load. A recent survey of 55 College Pou:try Departments in the U.S.A. shows the majority in favor of morning lights for layers. For one thing, it takes only a relatively cheap time -switch to turn on the lights in the morning, and the birds go to roost without trouble at dusk, Evening lights, on the other hand, call for some sort of dimmer arrangement which is like- ry to be either costly or a nuis- ance. Some poultrymen prefer a 12 - hour hen day For a start, while 13 hours is the amount most genrr- ally used throughout the late fall and winter; this is counting both artificial and natural light. It would probably mean turning lights on at 5 a.m. now, and at 4 a.m. later in the fall. Experimental evidence points to 14 hours as the maximum light to which flocks will respond in egg production. With the birds out of bed ahead of their owners, care must b's tak- en to have feed and water avail- able in the pen when the lights go on. In the case of cold pens, where water freezes, it is good practice to fill the water pans with snow the night before. Regularity is the secret to suc- cessful lighting of the laying flock. Hit-and-miss lighting may do more harm than good.

It is necessary to keep a very close check to see that the birds are consuming a maximum amount of feed and also check on the ventilation, particularly pens using cross -ventilation. A regular daily feeding routine is a "must" as the first indication of a slump is a drop of feed con- sumption follo ved by a drop in production and a neck moult.

Roy, Secretary Huron Federation) The Goderich Elevator Commit- tee of the County Federation held their annual meeting in Clinton last Saturday, and the secretary - treasurer reported a balance of $2,047.85 held in trust account. A detailed statement will be given at the annual meeting in Clinton on November 23. The Committee again decided to expend part of this amount in the county, by paying part of the ex- penses of up to 'three Juniors in each township wishing to attend Short Courses at either London or Guelph this coming winter. The motion reads up to 50 per cent of expenses to Guelph Short Courses and 75 per cent of expenses for courses in rural leadership. Ap- plicants may apply through their township secretary at an early date. The annual county meeting will be held in Clinton next Tuesday afternoon in the Town Hall. Spe- cial speaker for the afternoon will be Leonard Harman, of United Co- operatives of Ontario, who will speak on Co-operative Automobile Insurance. The annual banquet will be held the same evening in Cardno's Hall, Seaforth, when the special speak- er for the evening will be Ethel Chapman., home editor of the Farmers' Magazine, Toronto. Lad- les. adles; are. invited to attend, and tick- ets are available from township or county secretary. The evening will be rounded out with a concert a,nd feeding a wet mash (this will have to be, continued if•once started), or give the amount of mash they have not been eating in pellet form mixed with the evening scratch grain. A flock of 100 Bar- red Rock pullets laying 60 per cent require approximately fifteen pounds of mash and 14 pounds of grain daily.

The Farm Forum County Rally, held in Clinton, was a big sliccess.

Our pos- ition as the third trading nation is reflected in prosperity and high employment. Important Changes For some time before World War II a triangular pattern Of trade was considered 'normal." This involved much larger exports' than imports with the United Kingdom and correspondingly larg- er imports than exports with the United States. The difference was paid by converting U.K. pounds into dollars to pay our bills in the United States. Now a major shift, away from this traditional pattern, is develop- ing and is being watched closely for its effect on our welfare. Last week's announcement that in Sep- tember aur sales to the U.S. ex- Ceeded our purchases for the first time is a milestone in our develop- ing trade scene, This successful development did' not just happen. It is the direct result of the encouragement given by the Government to industry to increase exports and the restric- tions on imports imposed. a year ago, some of which are still in effect. Trade and Peace A conference to consider the re- lationship between world trade and world peace will be held in New York early next year. It will stir the interest of many observers here who believe that the rela- tionship is a commanding one, The Socialist belief that trade causes war is not supported by history. Based upon the exchange of goods and the international divi- sions of labour, free world trade is the real foundation of peace. This is the major argument in favour of support, in spite of all obstacles, of the Geneva Trade Agreements worked out early this year, One Major..
