First, a farmer makes a list of all the extra costs of making a change. Then, he makes a list of all the extra returns that he' could expect would result from the change.

Get a clear picture of how the business is currently oper- ating. 2. Consider different changes that might increase the profits Of your business, and pick the one that you think is most like- ly to be profitable. 3. Geta clear picture of how this proposed change will affect each of the parts of your busi- ness. 4. Make a list of all the addi- tional costs of making' this change in the business. 5. Make a list of all the addi- tional returns that will result from it. 6. Subtract the added costs from the added returns in or- der to see whether or not it would be profitable to make the change—and how profitable. 7. Do the same thing for"oth- er promising changes and see what change would make you the most money. Once a farmer has this guide, all he has to do is apply an idea he has ,in mind to it, to determine if it will be ; profit- able. • Ab. Bacon, president of the County Hog Producers, also ex- pressed appreciation to the Federation for their efforts in getting enoughproducers out to•, vote to give a true picture of the thinking of the Huron County hog producers. A resolution was, introduced by Alex McGregor stating that Huron County Federation of Agriculture directors support the principles of,. ea -operative processing plants for farm pro- duce and approve the action taken by the "FAME" board of directors in establishing these plants. Carl Hemingway, director -on the FAME board, outlined the studies, investigations madend authorities contacted over the past three years in organii ng the FAME program. With little further discussion, the .resolu- tion was approved unanimous- ly. IN THE GA pgii No Mystery About Green Thumb This btlsines about .-.green, thumbs his overdone. Practical- ly anyone can become a good_ gardener and grow &nything, that will grow in Canada if be takes a little care. Gardening is' not burdensome and a lot of muscle is not required. The real secret of success, of hav- ing marvelous: flowers and ten- der, crisp vegetables, of getting rid Of weeds, bugs and disease, is remarkably simple. It can be summed up in one short seri, tem, namely, give your 'gar- den a little regular attention and at thirright time. The last part is the most important. There is no trouble in con- trolling weeds if they are re- moved when they are. small. The worst bug or disease can be defeated if we spray or dust at the 'first sign of trouble. There .should be little difficulty with drought if we do a little cultivating early and if we wa- ter well when transplanting. The main thing is to give at- tention at the right time, to water when it is needed, not after it is -too late, to cultivate before the ground starts to bake, to thin before the plants. become crowded, to give some support before a storm comes along and smashes the tall flowers. The man who advised !'a stitch in time saves nine" must have been a gardener, and a good one. * * * Lawn Work Early SEAfORTH MONUMENT WORKS OPEN DAILY T.

There are still a large number of producers to be con- tacted..It is important that these petitions be returned to the Federation office, Clinton, before the end of March. Several townships invited the directors and township councils to attend a farm forum on "Tax- ation For Education," on Mon- day evening, March 12. Attend- ance was particularly good, with several good suggestions devel- oping from the discussions. In view of this interest, the County Federation has sponsor- ed a public meeting in the Clin- ton District Collegiate for Mar. 26, at 8:30. It is hoped that Federation directors and all township councils and assessors will attend. Don Middleton, head of the Properties Department of the OFA, will lead 'the discussion. Everyone . is welcome. A spe- cial, invitation is extended to school boards. This matter of education cost&. on farm land has been' a topic of serious consideration for sev- eral years in federation and township.,.. council groups, and the Federation is now tryingto get some definite recommenda- tions down on paper to present to . government. It has been readily -agreed by many branch- es of government that school tax on farm land is too high, but as yet no method to improve the situation'has been accepted.

MICKLE & SON LIMITED Phone 103 • Lawn work can start almost as soon as the snow goes, cer- tainly as soon as the soil is dry enough to walk on. Grass seed actually likes the cool •weather for; germination and in most parts of Canada' it should be sown either before the mid- dle of June or after the first of September. This means that with ^a new lawn or repairs to an old one, one should arrange to get the seed in the ground while the weather is still on the cool side. Too many people'seem to for- get that grass is a plant, and like other plants it needs food and moisture regularly or the best results. An application of commercial fertilizer, high in nitrogen every spring or fall and thorough during very dry. weather, will insure a smooth 'luxuriant growth and rich deep color. Of course even more im- portant is,, good seed, because without it, it will be impossible to produce a first class lawn. And good seed for the average home owner will be a mixture of several varieties, specially balanced to produce 'even, fine and deep greeh turf throughout the entire season. * * * 4 Try Something Different Gardeners who want to get the most out of their hobby will, always ' be willing to try something new. Many of them make a regular practice to plant every spring one vebetable and one flower that theyhave never tried before. In this way' they add to their experience, enrich pheir garden and often discover• something that is a real and permanent addition tot h e flower garden or the --table. Of course one is advised to be mod- erate and not to add so many 'new things in one year that it is impossible to give them the proper care. Better have one or two additions well looked af- ter; than a whole lot of things neglected. EGGS IN FIVE SIZES As shown here Canada Grade A eggs are sold by five siz- es, namely: Extra Large, Large, Medium, Small and Peewee. They range in weights from approximately 1% pounds per dozen for the largest size, down to approximately one pound per- dozen for the smallest size. Large or small, at today's prices, eggs are an excellent buy in high quality protein. GREY COUNCILLORS AWARD GRAVEL CRUSHING TENDER Grey Township Council met and accepted the tender of H. F.

One can keep a small garden in order with almost any old too. The ancients only used a sharp stick—but a slightly wid- er selection will make the lob easier. And if we keep what few we have in decent shape it will save us still more. It is surprising how much faster the digging will go if the spade is sharp and clean, if the handle is smooth andeasy on the hands. And the same ap- plies to the rake, the hoe, the special long handled and short handled weeders and to • the power mower or garden trac- tor, too. Scraping off clinging soil or grass clippings, filing sharp cutting edges and spread- ing a little oil on the metal parts to prevent rust and rub.- bing it in to wooden handles to prevent blisters, only takes a few minutes but it will speed up the work and make the tools last indefinitely. A power mow- er or tractor well looked after in the matter of oil changes. greasing where necessary and regular cleaning or renewing of spark' pldgs should last for years. • One not looked after will do well to operate into, the second season. Paradise is not a locality— it's a state of mind. • The beauty of the old-fashion- ed blacksmith was that when you brought him your horse to be shod he didn't think of 40 other things that ought to be done to it.
