CANADIAN EGGS BEST The per capita consumption of eggs in Canada is aproximately 3C6.18 a year, according to J. A. Carroll, sec- retary of the Ontario Marketing Board, a record unequalled by any other country, because of the fact that Canada produces the best eggs. Mr. Carroll gives us the underlying reason the fact that Canadian eggs are government graded, and declares: "Guesswork is eliminated. The an- noyance and disappointment of payinp for a high quality product and re- ceiving an inferior one, is a thing of the past in Canada, so far as the egg business is concerned. The old ex- pression, Met the buyer beware,' i- obsolete in this country when eggs are being purchased. The Canadian consumer decides the quality of eggs he or she purchases, not the dealer, providing the eggs are bought by grade. As for the effect of this huge consumption on general prosper- ity, consider an average price of 23 cents a dozen for his eggs( or a total revenue of $69,040,000. The consum- er paid an average price of 38.5 cents a dozen or a total of $117,176,000. The deference of $47,234.000 is the sum contributed to 'business' in the way of transportation, storage, mer- chandizing and incidental costs." VICTORIA CORNERS To-day Monday is almost like win- ter weather, something we have had little of this year. Last Thursday was a pet. Mrs. Will Acheson when walking on the road observed a cata- pillar crawling along. The pupils of S. S. N. 4 took their art lesson out of doors quite comfortably with- out hats or extra wraps. The flies also made a mistake thinking it was spring. The thunderstorm on Friday morning portrays more open weather. The roads were being gravelled on Friday and Saturday. Funny in Jan- uary for Grey. League last week on Thursday was held at Jas. Bachelor's. Watch for the next week's ad. about the youth and old age social to bt held at Chas. Moore's in the near future.

Mrs. Thornton before her marriage was Miss Humphrey and conducted a dress iiaking shop in Dundalk. Chas. Moore was in Toronto a few lays last week.

W. M MRS. E. BEATTY. Rec.-Sec. WEEKLY CROP REPORT Live stock generally is reported to be in fairly good condition and most farmers are depending on using home grown products for feed this year. With plenty of roots to add succlence to the rations, and a good quality of roughage available, live stock should fare well. A report from Grey County indicates that the cold storage plant >t Thornbury has been the means of rreatly increasing the returns from apples. The dairy cattle market is reported acti.ve from several areas, with sales to New York State, Quebec! and other parts of Canada. There is a good deal of water in mo-st parts of the province and there is not likely to be any shortage for some time at bast. EUGENIA At time of writing the ground is covered with snow again. Wonder if it is going to stay with us this time? Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Ressor and daughter, Miss Mary, also the for- mer's brother, Mr. Jesse Ressor of Toronto visited recently with Mr. and Mrs. Bert Magec and Mrs. Beecroft and family.

Mrs. Bert Magee spent a few day:; last week with Mrs. J. J. Lyness of Stone's settlement. Mr. John MacDonald has returned to Codington to resume his duties at the "Bird Farm" there. We wish John -success, and hope he will be back again soon to visit in the com- munity. The Women's Association will meet at the church on Thursday afternoon. January 21st. Visitors welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Hill and Mr. Shearer of Maxwell, also Mr. and Mrs. Ray McMillan and daughter, Marg- aret, of Markdale vi-sited recently with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jamieson and fam- ily. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved relatives of the late Mr?. Tucker Phillips, whose death occurred on Monday morning. Mary's Lamb Was Not Like This! A Hamilton man was rwarded $2,- 500 against a surgeon in his city by n high court judge for leaving a_ piece c e gauze and rubbcv tubing in his wiife after an operation. The difference in the return to the producer compared to the cost to the consumer of the same commodity il- lustrates vividly one phase of "the high cost of living." For example, i Colorado farmer sold seven lambs it Denver to the representative of a nationally known packing company "or (3.30. From this sum was de- hicted $2.25 for insurance, inspection and commission, the seller's net re- turn being represented by a check calling for 75 cents. A gentleman who paid 85 cents for two lamb chops on a dining car, knowing of the Col- orado transaction, through the Unitec States Department of Agriculture, had th trail of the seven lambs traced through the devious processes of mer- chandising until they were disposed of in the market. The department reports these seven lambs which brought a farmer 75 cents net wer t sold to consumers for $83.70. Every- body seems ko have made a good pro- fit in the transaction with the possible ejcception of the farmer who raised the lamb?. Credit Systim Abused The credit system is getting some severe jolts in these days of depres- sion and business men who havt been in the habit of extending cre- dit have .suffered many losses. When these losses become a burden the in- cvita'ble result will be collapse of business. The question has been asked should credit be refused? This question involves others, but the an- swer under present conditions would seem to be yes. If credit were ac- cepted, honorably by a person who has purchased necessities within his means are not indulging in luxuries beyond his means then it would be alright, but the unfortunate part K that many continue to get the luxuries anyway and the result is a crash. Here is a practise we understand to be quite common. Mr. Blank arrives in town Saturday night with a can of cream which is sold. The first purchase is a tank of gasoline for the car, then without enough cash left to buy groceries and other necesities, credit is asked for from the grocer. This is given and with continued hard times the grocer must have csfch and he demands payment The ont obliged cannot pay and with his cre- dit exhausted changes stores or may- be goes to another town. Result, eventually he is seriously involved and what was to blame but the credit system. Yes, credit is a good thing sometimes, but to many people it is nothing but a curse. A farmer who io quite prosperous told us recently that he never matie a purchase on credit, although ht had no start in life. What he couldn't pay for, he simply did without. Creemore Star.

ALFALFA FOR POULTRY Alfalfa in the green state has long been recognized a-3 an ideal poultry I feed when used in conjunction with j the usual grains and mashes. It I is used extensively as range or a* cot green feeeds for birds in confinement during the spring, summer and faB months in most alfalfa - growing areas, but the value of the hay as a winter feed is not so generally known. So much of the year's success depends on the number and quality of chicks hatched each spring, that it is im- portant to do all possible to increase the fertility and hatchability of the eggs and the livability of the ducks. Experiments have shown that 20 per cent better fertility and 6.4 per cent. better hatchability of fertile eggs em* be obtained from birds where alfalfa hay, instead of straw, is used as Utter in the breeding pens. The ai.'alfa should be used as litter during the winter months preceding the breed- ing season and the same treatment given to males and females.
