the extra costs from the extra
returns in order to estimate the
profitability of this change.,
These, in more detail, are the
steps he follows:
1. 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

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.

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

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.

Several townships reported
good reception of the petition
requesting a marketing plan
for eggs. 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.

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.

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.

Keep 'Em Clean and Sharp.
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.
