A Worthy Appeal
Throughout Canada there are
countless thousands''wb•o at one time
or another have had, cause to give
thanks to the Salk 'y. ' Qn Army. When
in time of trouble tt ere Berns to be
nowhere to seek aid, the Salvation
Army has come to the rescue.
The work of the Salvation Army
takes sincere, compassionate men
and women into fields often neglect-
ed by a busy community. They are
always ready to extend "the hand
that helps" to unfortunates in every
station of life.
This work costs money despite the
gratuitous efforts of many hundreds
of persons. To get this money the
Salvation Army is. now engaged in a
drive for funds which will continue
until May 22.
More than 100 social service insti-
tutions are maintained by the Sal-
vation Army to meet the growing
demands of human need. Included in
these are general and maternity
hospitals, • homes for aged men and
women, children's homes, hostels,
family welfare services, emergency
relief and missing persons' bureaus.
The work also involves rehabilita-
tion of persons who have been in jail,
and intervening on behalf of persons
, who might be sentenced to jail.
Seaforth and district citizens have
an opportunity of indicating in a
practical manner their support of
their work the Salvation Army is
doing when the canvasser calls.

One's Enemies
No matter how closely one adheres
to the golden rule during a lifetime,
it will happen that one will make
some enemies. The situation may be
the other fellow's fault, or it may
arise as the result of thoroughly
honest convictions, honestly held. On
occasions we may make enemies
without knowing we had done so. An
innocent remark, or a harmless act,
is wrongly interpreted. It is these
unidentified enemies that result in
confusion for the average individual.
Recently, however, there retired in
England a man who is positive he
has no enemies. He is William Mal-
colm Page, of Manchester, one of
Britain's best known detectives. His
record includes the catching of 3,000
criminals, 44 of whom were murder-
ers. He told the London Daily Mail
that he always tried to be decent
"even with the worst of crooks," and
out of all the crowd which he had
brought to book, he had made only
44 enemies.
And, he added; every one of those
44 enemies had been hanged.
. Perhaps an ordinary citizen may
be allowed to be slightly envious of
Mr. Page. After all, it is not pos-
sible for many to have at hand the
means of getting rid of the enemies
that were his.

Beef Prices
Beef, prices in Canada for some
time now have been at a high level
and Canadian producers have enjoy-
ed an unusual degree of prosperity.
On the other hand, Canadian con -
sinners have learned to regard with
some degree of astonishment and
et tiiiderable' anxiety the extent to
Which the .purchase of a bit of steak
ora.roast of beef can affect the fam-
ifitidgety
resent situation can be ex-
0te r to eft lt'itme fearsome tittle in

aft Wet& r'x Clg

is
;
down, will proba.1y have to look be,
gond the present year before they
can diseern any downward move-
ment. This is because of the fact
that demand for beef in the United
States is very high, and as long as
that demand remains, it will provide
the competitive background for all
market transactions in Canada."
To appreciate the reasons under-
lying the present situation, it is nec-
essary to go back to 1948.
"Ever since the embargo on ship-
ments of beef cattle and beef to the
U.S. was lifted in August, 1948, that
great market has been the price -
guide for Canada," the Free Press
says: "Even though a steer is to be
butchered for sale in Canada, its
price will still be determined by what
it would sell for in the U.S. market.
"As demand grows in the United
States, without a counter -balancing
increase in supply, the price will in-
crease. This is exactly what is hap.;
pening now and this is why a T-bone
steak is spoken of in such reverent
tones by the budget -conscious Cana-
dian housewife.
"The extent to which the U.S. de-
mand has forced cattle prices up-
ward is shown in the latest issue of
the monthly livestock letter issued
by the Industrial and Development
Council of Canadian Meat Packers.
From January 1 to March 4 (the lat-
est date given), inspected slaughter
of cattle in the U.S. totalled 1,168,000
head. This was 86,000 less than for
the same period of 1949. Competi-
tion for the available supply, in the
meantime, had driven the price of
choice steers at Chicago up from
$27.30 per hundred pounds to $35.
"Under the stimulus of such pric-
es, Canadian cattle exports to the
United States are booming. Up to-
the
othe end of March, our exports of
slaughter and feeder cattle to the
United States were more than three
times the total for the corresponding
period of 1949. The number in 1949
was 27,435. In 1950, it was 85,440.
"Exports of dressed beef and veal
were nearly four million pounds
higher to March 30 of this year than
for the same period of 1949.
"Although our exports of both live
cattle and dressed meat are much
higher than those of last year, they
are still only a drop in the bucket
compared with the size of the U.S.
market. As long as it remains
strong, Canadian producers will con-
tinue to benefit and Canadian con-
sumers, if they want beef on their
tables, must be prepared to bid for it
competitively with their U.S. coun-
terparts.
"Meanwhile, of course, the big
market to the south is providing.
Canada with an excellent opportun-
ity to earn a substantial amount of
United States exchange. Our sales
of beef cattle, veal calves, dressed
beef and veal to the U.S. last year
brought us about $75 millions. This
year, the total may approach $100
millions."

SPRING GARDENING
(Leamington Post and News)
Now is the time to plan what
should be done; the next thing is to
have the' perseverance to carry it
through.. We have often heard citi-
zens describe ambitious ideas for
house improvement and garden de-
velopment just before the season for
this work arrives. Somehow with
the warmer days ambition seems to
lag, the result being that midsum-
mer comes and little is accomplished.

They should have the same right as

(Article Thirteet3)
Just this one more article on the
Mill Road, then P11 eleve on to
Seaforth and subsequent experi-
ences, or, at least, until the editor
chops me off, or my headlights go
completely Hooey.
,One February -March sioason. the
fall of snow was exc'eptionallY
heavy. I drifted deeply; Then a
sleety rain came and coated. fields
and snowbanks with a .hard crust.
One could walk across ee farm on
the surface, right over fences and
everything. All along our garden
fence was a grand snowdrift, at
least eight feet deep and fifteen
feet wide. We boys had a bril-
liant idea. We dug a large cave
in that snowbank. You could stand
upright in it, and the roof would
be about a foot azid a half thick.
The cave was about 8x10. We us-
ed an armful of hay fora carpet,
had apples, a hammer and a flat
stone to crack butternuts on. We
left a small opening as a door to
crawl in and out of. We had more
tun in there than you could have
at a fashionable city club.
One Saturday afternoqn we had
a special celebration. We had real
eats, in addition to then hutternuts
and beech nuts — cookies and
doughnuts. We pretended it was a
Sunday school tea -meeting, with
speeches and everything. Of course
I was chairman, and was to intro-
duce the speaker. I had just got
as far as: "We have with us this
afternoon—" when we were show-
ered with snow and almost buried.
And we had with us that afternoon
no Iess a guest than Mrs. Finn
(our dignified cow), followed by
our huge Shanghai rooster (stood
almost as tall as I). Mrs. Finn had
been out strolling around. She was
ambitious to get up in the world,
so she managed to get to the top
of our snowbank. Mr. Shanghai
rooster, who had a liking for Mrs.
Finn, was tagging along after her,
both smug and full of pride. "Sho
'nuff," aa they say dawn South,
pride sure goes before a fall. ,As
soon as Mrs. Finn stepped on the
roof of our cave, down she came,
and Shanghai flopped through the
great hole she made in the roof,
right after her. We crawled and
burrowed our way out. Then we
got shovels to dig out our unin-
vited guests. I was afraid they'd
be suffocated. On clearing a way
in, we saw Mrs. Finn calmly eat-
ing our hay carpet, while Shang-
hai
hanghai sat on her back, looking as if
he was getting ready to crow.
I suppose there are no Shanghai
fowl now. Nor Brahmas, nor Black
Spanish. They have been super -
ceded by White Leghorns, Ply-
mouth Rocks and what have you.
Chickens,- like everything else, ev-
entually get it in the neck!
The only time I ever really died
(or thought I did) was at the close
of a long, hot day, which I had
spent in haying operations on a
nearby farm. Just about sundown
I walked across the fields, home,
not to stay all night, but just to
drop in. A group of young people
were glayeing down the road, and
didn't see me come. I glanced in
the window and saw my sister
sewing on a dress she was mak-
ing. No one else was around. I
knew my sister's custom was,
when it got too dark to sew, to
take her sewing material into the
spare bedroom and lay it on the
bed. So I quietly got into the
house and into the spare bedroom,
to surprise my sister. I found a
long white, frilly nightgown and a
frilly, starched night cap, which
they used to call a "mutch," and
put them on over my clothes. Then
I lay down stretched out on my
back, my hands folded over my
chest, and waited.
It was broad daylight when I
alt oke. My sister hadri't come in,
and I had quickly fallen asleep. I
had never moved all night, and
when I opened my eyes next morn-
ing, saw myself apparently in a
shroud, all laid out reverently, I
thought sure I had died! I was
scared stiff, till I realized that
if this were somewhere in the here-
after, they sure had a rag carpet
on the floor just like mars.
Meantime, there was a great hue
and cry on to find out the mystery
of my disappearance. I walked out
among them, just as I was, and if
there was a panic before, this was
a riot! I suppose I did look like
the ghost of Hamliet's father.
But I'll bet he didn't have a
"mutch" on;
* * *
Some way back I referred to
some of the things we youngsters
used to eat, such as slippery elm
bark, etc. I forgot the sweet,
honey -filled heads of plump red
clover blossoms, this tender green
leaves of the beech in the early
spring, the big thistle blossoms
which we carefully pulled apart
and chewed the fluffy, down -like
seed cotton. When you chewed it,
a fellow could squirt what appear-
ed to be real "tobacco juice through
his front teeth. We did this to im-
press they girls of how grown-up
we were.
I am sure some of the country
girls, who are somewhat near my
age, went picking the great profu-
sion of red raspberries and black
caps, and perhaps, on the waif -to
school, went into a fencecorner,
where there were always, berry
bushes, and strung the berries, on
long stalks of timothy. hay. You
could take a full string, put one
end in your . mouth, and draw it
across, and get a mouthful. Once
in school a girl sitting at the desk
in front of me, had a yawning
spell. I had a timothy string of
blackberries with me, so next time
she yawned I quickly drew the
string of berries across her open
mouth. It nearly strangled her!
I was kept in after school that
day, 'and --but never mind' the rest.
Letters to the Editor
Toronto, May 5, 1950.
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir: In the course of your
editorial dealing with the Conser-
vation Report recently presented
by a nine -man committee of the
Ontario Legislature, the emphasis
placed on water and "a growing
disregard of the importance of
rainfall and water supply," seem-
ed very timely and constructive to
this reader.
There is, indeed, far too wide-
spread a tendencyfor the urban
dweller to look upon rainfall large-
ly in terms of his (or her) own
plans, dates and convenience—if
not a downright nuisance! In this
latter eonneetion I recall a rural
Member of our urban study club
giving the rest of us an apt and
necessary lecture on this same
theme. I confess that I would have
difficulty in remembering his speci-
fic line of thought; but one warn-
ing I have not the least difficulty
in recalling,, for it dealt with a ball
game which had been called off
and washed out by rain. These
were his words: "Don't get too en-
thusiastic in saying nasty things
about the rain. Try and remember
that, without it, you folks on the
pavements would starve!" Believe
it or not, as the colmnist says, we
smiled—and applauded!
Maybe this paragraph on the ov-
er -use and abuse of water supplies
by Arthur H. Vierhart (U.S. auth-
ority on conservation) in your con-
temporary, Atlantic Monthly, may
be considered newsworthy: "At
Rosewell, N.M,, in 1902, someone
had the happy idea that artesian
wells might supply Iimitless water
for irrigation of farms. Bonanza
days followed. By 1905 some 500
wells had tapped the deep supply.
Casing heads half -a -foot in diame-
ter boiled out water under its own
pressure. The green fields were
lush with crops. In two decades
the water reserve underground
shrank from 663 square miles to
425. Costs skyrocketed; water
could be pumped, but only at a
Wee. Wells and farms worth five
million dollars were abandoned."

Prospect For Horses
There has been a steady reduc-
tion in the number of horses in
Canada for several years. This was
reflected at Western horse sales
this year where the supply of good
well -broken, young horses was lim-
ited, although there was fair de-
mand.
Many breeders are doubtful of
future markets, but few will deny
that there will be a market for
some horses in Canada for many
years to come. Increased mechan-
ization of farm operation is never
Likely to drive dobbin entirely from
the land. To have horses available
in three to five years, farmers will
soon have to start raising a foal
or two.
The best mares should be select-
ed for breeding; good, sound, live
to eight -year-olds which wilt pro-
duce strong healthy foals for .sev-
eral years. In addition to many
good stallions owned by private
breeders, the Department of Agri-
culture stands stallions atmany of
the Dominion Ehtperimental Parma,
Mating "best to best" is good
policy in horse breeding.
Harvest Hay Early
It pays to cut h y early, for as
the plants mature brims,
Materials develop and the prq-
p tf'brt Of .protein decreases. The
proof of this is seen in the super-
ior performance and growth of ani-
mals on early season pasture,
Authorities have proved that the
total digestible material decreases
by three per cent as red clover
plants mature from full head to
full bloom, •and even more serious,
digestible protein decreases 35 per
cent. With timothy, the condition
is even worse, and total digestible
material decreases by 5.8 per cent
and digestible protein by 42 per
cent as the plants mature from
full head to just past full bloom.
Weather records gathered over
36 years at the Experimental Farm
at Naptean, N.S., show that the av-
erage temperature in July is a de-
gree warmer than in August and
that July has six per cent more
sunshine and, 16 per cent less rain-
fall than August. This is eontrary
to common belief that as the iota-
liter
um-
li er advances, the weather be-
comes more favorable for making
hay. What does happen, Says E.
T. Goring, agronomist at the Farm,
is that as the season advances and
the plants mature, they become
woody fetid dry and are easier to
cure even in less favdtabie weatb
er., Beit they have lost a large_part
of their feeding value.
