For 1937 it is estimated that Canada's bacon exports will be approximately 190,000,000 1b., equivalent to 1,583,- 000 live hogs. In 1982 the exports of bacon, hams, and pork cuts to the United Kingdom totalled 35,820,400 Ib.; in 1934, 120,410,200 lb., and in 1936, 158,049,600 1b. Must Label Fertilizers : Every mixed fertilizer on sale in Canada must contain at least 14 per cent. nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash, singly or combined. Minimum quantities for each are es- tablished. Fertilizer constituent materials are standardized and sub- ject to minimum percentages of plant food substances. Every fer tilizer must be labelled to show the brand names and guaranteed analy- sis. Preparing for Hatching Season Repeated experiments ~~ have shown that for egg production, pul- lets are superior to older birds. The incubation, hatching and rearing of a great many chicks is therefore a yearly necessity. The tendency is towards large hatcheries the smaller poultryman and farmer, and the sale of day-old chicks, sexed chicks and cross-bred chicks has in- creased rapidly. The individual can now purchase chicks from recognized agencies with assurance. The Department of Agriculture is now grading chicks as follows: Purple label, R.O.P. chicks from blood tested and Government recorded flocks; Red label, R.0.P. Sired Chicks, from blood tested and Government ap- proved flocks; Blue label, Approv-! ed chicks, from approved cockerels, ! and approved banded and blood-| tested flocks. For those who wish to incubate their own eggs, the use of R.O.P. or approved males is recommended, and it is advisable to secure males early in order to get a good selec- tion and to acclimatize them to lo- cal conditions. Incubators should be looked over and put in first class shaipe. They should be scrubbed and disinfected prior to incubation and also between hatches. It is always good policy to have spare incuator supplies on hand, as many a hatch has been ruined by something going wrong after incubation has commenced and no spare parts on rand. Thermo- meters should be tested and placed at proper levels as a degree or so out may make considerable «differ- ence in size and strength of the hatch. : J Care should be exercised in se- lecting normal eggs of good shell texture and colour. Breeding pens of the best hens mated to good males should receive the right feed and attention in order to obtain eggs that - will = produce strong chicks. Follow the directions sup- plied by the manufacturer for oper- ation of the incubator as the direc- tions have been compiled after con- sideragle experimentation. FERTILIZERS AND | THEIR PROPER USE Fertilizers are carriers of plant food and unless placed in a con- venient position for the plants to use, are, ineffective. It is not enough just to scatter the fertilizer around the 'plant on the surface of the soil with the expectation that bounteous rains or watering will take all the plant food down to the feeding roots. 'Some is bound to be lost unless cultivated into the soil or better still it should be placed in narrow bands at the depth of the plant roots and from two to four inches away. This permits the roots to reach the fertilizer quickly and easily without chemical injury to the plant. The 'so-called "band wav" of applying fertilizers to gar- den crops has proven the most ef- fective and economical. Modern planters and drills are designed to apply the fertilizer in the band way.

Recently a gardener sent samples of lettuce, onion, beet and carrot seed to the Dominion Seed Branch Laboratory, Ottawa, for germination test. he seed was three years old and in- | tended for use next spring. The | lettuce germinated 72 [per cent, the beet 71 per cent, the carrot 49 per- | cent and the onion 2 per cent. Three years ago, when fresh, all of these seeds germinated over 90 per cent. These tests proved once again that some kinds of seed lose their vi- ability quicker than others. The ! onion seeds were practically dead when three years old, while the heet and lettuce seeds retained reason- ably high germination. The carrot | seeds Tad declined almost 50 per- cent in the three years but was still service able 'at a heavier seeding rate. These results are tppical of | many tests made. The point is that old seed should not be used before tested for ger- ' mination. This may [be done at i home between two damp blotters or , a sample may be sent to the nearest ' Dominion Seed Branch laboratory. | NEW SPECIFICATIONS ( FOR CHEESE BOXES Canadian cheese, manufactured and intended for export on and after 1st July, 1938, must be contained in i boxes which comply with the new specifications in the regulations un- der the Dairy Industry Act. These specifications are applicable only to boxes used for export cheese, and, as the new regulations do mot go into effect until the boxing of July . cheese begins, cheese box manufac- , turers will have a certain amount of | time to clear up their old stock of ; material which may ~ not comply with the new specifications. There is no change in the regula- | tions dealing with the reinforcing and reinforcing bands of cheese and { butter boxes, but the details regard- ' ing wood, covers, and construction of cheese boxes have been considar- ably enlarged. It is laid down in ' the new regulations that cylnidrical | cheese boxes used as containers of | Canadian cheese, manufactured af- | ter the 30th day of June, 1938, and i to be exported, must be made from good sound 'wood, and otherwise comply with the following require- . ments:-- . to (1) Tops and Bottoms (headings) : must be thoroughly seasoned, not | less than five-eighths of an inch in thickness, and must consist of not | more than three pieces if not ton- not more than four pieces if tongued and grooved. (2) Hoops and bands must not be less tran one-fifth of an inch in thickness, and (3) they must over- , lap at joint not less than five inches | and be fastened with staples or nails not more than one inch apart i | gued and grooved, i and firmly clinched inside. (4) Bands must be nailed to the head- | ings (tops and bottoms), one nail i to each side at every joint, with ad- i cCitional rails not more than four inches apart. (5) Bottom bands must not be less than one and a calf inches in width, and top bands not less than three inches in width. | Two other requirements which were contained in the old regula- tions are retained in the new, as follows: (6) mails in the laps of the narrow bands .of the covers and bottoms of the jboxes must pene- trate the heading at right angles to the grain, and (7) covers must fit 'closely and be placed on the boxes so that the laps of the bands of the covers are even with the laps | on the bodies of the boxes. | GOODYEAR EARNINGS EXCEED DIVIDENDS ( } In a lettter with quarterly divi- dend cheque addressed to the share- holders of the Goodyear Tire & Rub- ber Co. of Canada Limited A.

However, the net earnings exceed by a substantial margin dividend requirements on both Preferred and Common stocks for the quarter end- ing March 31st. : Due to the unsettled condition of world affairs, it is difficult at this time to see very far ahead, but the financial strength of your Com- pany, its efficiently equipped plants and well trained personnel, place it in a very advantageous position to meet 'all conditions 'as 'they arise."

Hastings In Canadian Motorist Blood tests will reveal conclusive- ly the extent of alcohal intoxication or the absence of it, according to Dr. Joslyn Rogers, Professor of Chemistry at the University of To- ronto, medico-legal expert and Pro- vincial Analyst for Ontario. The ad- vantage of supplanting opinion with fact as evidence needs no emphasis. Professor Rogers points out that there are few obstacles in the way of testing suspected drunken driv- ers for alcoholism, for effective tests can be made up to six hours after the ingestion of aleohol, as during that time the alcoholic con- tent of tissues remains fairly con- stant. He does not regard as de- pendable the breath-analysis me- thod as the results « of decomposi- tion in parts of the body might be confused with alcoholic content. He gives it as his opinion that it is a dangerous practice to drink at all while or prior to handling a motor vehicle. Regarding the menace of drunken driving, "Professor Rogers declared: "Any one who takes liquor in_any quantity attains very rapidly a sense of well-being and an unwar- ranted feeling of capability. The judgment is impaired and there is a greater tendency to take a chance. The attitude becomes that of the mouse of fable fame who, after im- bibing, called out: 'Bring on that dammed cat!" "The most common blood test is made through distilling blood and then titrating the distillate with a dichromate solution," Professor Ro- grs explained. "There are three stages of intoxication: the 'convivi- al', in which alcohol is present to the extent of from one to three parts in a thousand; the 'beliger- ant', in whieh it is present in four, five or six parts to the thousand; and the 'comatose', in which the amount is from seven parts up. Where people go berserk and com- mit such crimes as murder, it is usually found that there are four, five or six parts of alcohol per thousand. "Most certainly a man should never drive a car when he has on the upper side of 1% parts of alco- hol per thousand parts of blood.' Dr. Rodgers quoted part of an article written by Staff Sergeant E. F. Curtis of the Medical Department of the United States Army for "The Military Surgeon": "While various authorities may differ as to the exact concentration of alcohol re- quired to produce symptoms of in- toxication, it appears quite gener- ally agreed that no such symptoms can be demonstrated when the con- centration is below .1 per cent.; likewise that a state of intoxication is ~ always 'demonstrable when the concentration is in the vicinity of 2 per cent. or above and .13 per cent. has frequently been regarded as the critical concentration point." According to Dr. Rogers "The most horribly serious alcoholic men- ace today lies in the man who drives a car in a slightly convivial mood." LIQUOR IS WORST ENEMY TO HOME Mothers-in-law may be a problem in the funnies," said Dorothy Knox recently in the Charlotte, (N.C.) News, "but they trouble in the domestic relations court. Also, you may be surprised to learn that though the 'eternal triangle' is featured: heavily in mo- dern novels, lurid magazines, and hysterical movies, it doesn't amount to hill of beans in real life. "But when the triangle proves to be mama, papa and John Barley- corn--you're in for trouble, and you may as well face it. For, according 50 per cent of all cases that reach the domestic relations court come there because of the bottle. "If I'only had some magic whereby I could change the liquor that goes down the father's throat into milk to go down the children's throats, this world would have exactly half as many head- aches, financial failures, and broken homes," said Judge Redd with justi- fiable feeling. 'Liquor causes more domestic troubles than everything else put together. In-laws, reli- gious differences, financial troubles, or "the third party" seldom breaks up homes. It's liquor. Occasion- ally it's the woman, but practically all of the time it's the man. Li- quor is the home-breaker in every class of life. ; " 'Just the other day I had a wo- man come to my court and talk to me with tears streaming down her face. She said, "Judge, I've got the finest husband in the . world when he's not drinking. He's good to me and the children, makes a fine sa- lary, never looks at another woman. But when he's drinking, he's a fiend He's on the rampage now and he's roaring drunk down in an alley on the other side of town, somebody just phoned me. I'm afraid to take him home where the children are because I know from past experi- ence how brutal he is. I'm going to have to ask you to lock him up until he's sober. I don't know which way to turn, because the con- cern where he's been working for the last 15 years said the next time he got drunk he was fired"...

PETER WYATT AND FAMILY REMOVE TO WINCHESTER The village of Vernon lost one. of its well-known and esteemed families recently when Peter Wyatt moved with his family to the village of Win- chester. Pete, as he was commonly known to all, was born and reared in the district. He was a genial per- son, and the people of Vernon are sad at his departure. Mrs. Wyatt was a member of the Ladies' Aid and was also active in other branches of the Vernon Pres- byterian Church. 'Before leaving, the Presbyterian congregation tendered Mrs. Wyatt with a beautiful lamp and : side table in recognition of her velo able services to the church. Mrs. W. 'G. Porteous read the following address: Dear Mrs. Wyatt, "It is with feelings of deep re- gret that we learn of your departure from "our community. You have CARE OF HAIR AFTER A PERMANENT [-- Correct care of your hair after a permanent wave is just as import- ant as the pre-permanent routines to get it in healthy condition te withstand the winding and heat. The woman who. tas to get a new permanent every six months or se should have a weekly scalp treat- ment as well as a shampoo and wave. How expert your operator is, and regardless of the brand of pads he uses, the fact remains that la= tions and enough heat are applied te make straight hair actually curly for half a year or longer. The' en= tire process, although harmless and entirely satisfactory these days is bound to be a shock to.any scalp and head. To alleviate dryness that sometimes occurs after a permanent and to get the hair back to normal, scalp treatments are essential. Hot oil, of course, is one of the best re- been with us in childhood, girlhood and womanhood. In our church; work you have been a faithful and ; willing worker. As this is a world of changes we are reminded of the poet's words: We know not where His islands left, Their fonded palms we air; We only know we cannot drift, Beyond His love and care. You will not be so far from us, and we trust that you will often find it convenient to return to renew your | friendship with us. This, in a mea- | i sure, lessens the regret at your de-| parture. We ask you to accept this | gift as a small token of our appre- ciation of your valued service in our Master's work. With this gift we extend to you and yours the wish that you may long be spared to work in is Kingdom. And we know that wherever your lot may be cast you servant in His Signed on behalf of the Vernon Presbyterian Congregation." Mrs. Wyatt replied to the address in a few well «chosen words. Her was deeply emotional, and Doctor, to woman patient: "What did your husband die of ?"' Patient: "I can't remember the but I { conditioners in the world. The night before you plan to wash your hair, massage warm olive oil inte your scalp. For the first ten treat~ ments = after a permanent, rub & little on the hair itself. Wrap a towel around your. head and leave the oil on all night.' Next day, shampoo in the usual manner, wash- ing and rinsing two or three times. The first month after you have had a permanent is the one time when you should not brush hair and scalp. The ends may be a trifle brittle and to brush vigorously may break them off. Instead, massage scalp with fingertips every night be- fore you go to bed. If you have dandruff or some other ailment,. apply a tonic to correct it before vou begin the massage.
