H. Bray, of the Ontario Depart- ment of Health, Toronto, who at- tended Wednesday's ,meeting, the main reasons for the reduced death rate are the early discovery of cases -and the improved treat- ment through drugs. "Chest X- ray surveys find a high percent- age of early cases than any other case -finding method," declared, Mr. Bray. The survey in May will be con- ducted on a three-level organiza- tion, with the county being divid- ed into five districts, and each dis- trict divided into five areas. Ov- er 5,000 volunteers, all Huron Coun- ty residents, will be recruited to play an all-important part in the survey. The district survey chairmen all; pointed are: H. C. Lawson, Clin- ton, who is the honorary treasurer of the County T.B. Association; Mr. Madill, county president; Fred Snow, Seaforth, the association's immediate past president; Harry Ford, Goderich, and E. R.' Hopper, Exeter. Included on the county training committee are: Crown Attorney Glen Hays, Goderich, as chairman of speakers; Rev,- Glen Eagle, of Clinton. chairman of clinics; Alex Alexander, Goderich, chairman of industry; G. C. Brightrall, Sea - forth, chairman of supply; Edwin P. Chesney, Tuckersmith, chair- man of canvass; P. D. McConnell. Seaforth, chairman of high schools, and Mrs. C. A.

All evening he had been trying to think of something nice to say to his hostess'' but couldn't get up the courage. At last he thought he saw his chance. ' "What a small appetite you have, Mr. ' Brown," said his hos tess with a smile. Gallantry Brown replied: "To sit next to 'you would cause any man to lose his appetite."

Apart from providing grading equipment adequate to handle the flow of eggs produced, Little time can be saved in the grading and packing phase of handling.-- The most time-consuming and unnec- essary work, however, is cleaning soiled eggs, and it is not surprising that much money is being spent on egg cleaning equipment. To a large extent, it is a production problem and the best solution lies in keeping the eggs clean in the laying house. A certain amount of soilage is unavoidable but most is due to the wrong type of nest, not keeping' nest litter clean, and too infrequent gathering. T h e roll away" type. of nest is being improved constantly and may well make a significant contribution to •the production of clean eggs. When gathering eggs, the replacement of soiled areas in the' nest litter should be an essential part of the job. It, does not require much imag- ination to all reciate what a sav ing of 15 or 20 per cent in time given to egg handling could mean. in ability to carry more birds and enhance profitable production. Per- haps another alternative might be seriouslyconsidered; namely, to be strictly a producer and leave ev- erything but, the gathering of the eggs and the cleaning of those few requiring such treatment, to a re- liable, well equipped egg handler and put the time 'saved towards carrying a larger population of laying birds. Stabilized Iodine in Salt 'Blocks Loss of iodine in salt blocks ex- posed to the weather can lie avoid - e1 when potassium iodate is used as a source of iodine. This was demonstrated in 1951 by Dr. Wat- son and Mr. Davidson, chemists with the . Canada Department of Agriculture, and their recommen- dations have now been given offi- cial sanction under the Foot and Drug regulations. Iodine is required by' livestock, ass it is by humans, to prevent goitre and other ills attendant on diseases of the thyroid gland. When pigs. calves or foals are born dead,' or weak andhairless, iodine defici- ency in the maternal diet is im- mediately suspected. For this rea- son iodine as potassium iodide is included in the salt. This is quite satisfactory for table salt which is kept dry, but not for livestock as an iodized salt block exposed to the weather or left in a manger will lose its iodine fairly rapidly. Efforts have been made to stab- alize the iodine in salt blocks by coating them with fatty materials, photographer's hypo; and even molasses, with no real success. Blocks exposed for two months un- der summer pasture conditions last all their iodine in spite of such treatments - Two compounds containing an available source of iodine proved relatively stable under both stall and summer pasture conditions. One of them, potassium iodate, proved to be cheaper than the other. Salt blocks were made up to contain 0.015 per cent and 0.50 ber cent iodine, and tested by the Deiertment's animal pathologists who gave the iodate a clean bill of health. Permission to use potassium iodate has now been granted by Food and Drug officials and when salt blocks containing this com- pound are produced commercially, farmers can be assured of a stable source of iodine for their live- stock. 1 $ 4 Rate of Lay Spells Profit Poor layers cost poultrymen money. T. M. Maclntyre, of the Nappan Experimental Farm, Can- ada Department of Agriculture, Nova Scotia, says the rate of egg laying is one of the most impor- tant factors in determining the profit from the laying flock. Few realize that the profit margin may be greatly improved by a small- increase in egg production. Egg laying tests at the Nappan Experimental Farm show that pul- lets vary in the cost of feed .per dozen eggs from 16 to 33 cents 'at present feed prices. With feed at four cents per pound 'and eggs" at 40 tents, per dozen, a hen lay"hg 150 'eggs per year elesrs'about $1.25 above feed •Costs. : A' bird misslOnitrIeekt.X Atte* VarmaUnited G , ureh 51491on- ary "Sq ieiy flet ,l, the ehulrch !oat WCdlllay aftei'Aioon, January y?v, w*th Mrs- George, Reid in charge of the worship service The theme was.

On the basis of feed cost per dozen eggs, with 'feed at -four cents per pound, a hen laying 200 eggs produces them at a rate of six cents per dozen less for the feed than a hen laying 150 eggs, This is the same as adding six cents per dozen to the price of eggs. Top production should be the aim of every producer. A flock averaging 200 -eggs per hen might be considered to be doing very well, but a five per cent increase in egg laying would represent a saving of about $7.00 per ton of feed. This adds up to approxi- mately $350 additional income for each 000 layers. An increase of one ;egg per. bird 'Per year represents' 813 dozen -eggs from a 1,000 bird flock.

Larger stocks in the major exporting and in some im- porting countries are making the marketing of wheat more difficult but, despite this situation, it is be- lieved that exports of Canadian wheat should be fairly well main- tained during the current crop year. - Production of wheat in. Canada in 1955 was estimated at 494.1 mil- lion bushels, virtually the same as the July 31 carryover of 493.7 mil- lion bushels of old -crop wheat. At October 1, 1955, stocks of Canadian wheat available for export during 'the reainder of the crop• year and or year-end carryover amount to some 786 million bush- els as against 697 million available on the same date a year ago. The 1955 crop is generally of good qual- 'ty, with slightly more than 90 per cent expected to grade - No. 1 to No. 4 Northern.

Total supplies of Canadian feed grains in 1955-56 are up about 10k per cent over last year's level and are about 22 per cent above the ten-year average, The=increase in this year's supplies results largely from substantially 'greater ..,.out . turns of oats and barley, .a record: corn crop, and a\ net -to -record erop of mixed grains. However, feed requirements will likely be .some- what. higher Allan in 1954.55 be- cause of the -four per increase in livestock population. It ,.is ex- pected that the export market for both , oats and barley will be, fairly well maintained . during .1955-156, although the totals may not reach.. the, 1954-55 levels. In .view of sub- stantially greater supplies and the possibility of soinewhatreduced ex- ports, it • is probable . that carry- . over stocks of oats • and barley at July 31, 1956, .may show some in- crease despite greater domestic re- quirements: Generally adequate supplies of fodder and -the major feed supple- ments are indicated for the current crop year. ` Production ,of tame hay, the most important single source of fodder, was, greater than in 1954 in all provinces except On- tario. Although drought in -parts of Ontario and Quebecessitated supplementary feeding in midsum- mer, rapid- recovery of pastures and an open fall. reduced further unseasonable demands on winter feed supplies. • NOTICE—Township of Tuckersmith To facilitate snow removal operations, the public is requested not to park cars or vehicles on roadsides during the.
