ABOUT UAFFLKS A •n appears elsewhere in this '•ding the matter of raffles, id turkey raffles used to be a method of disposint^ of fowl lut the labor of plucking them, t it has not altogether di.sap- "1 from our selling methods. At Trenton, when the attending .lators were through with their chase.-* they found that the fowl cost them each over one dollar '^niind! Each man paid |16.6U c -t. Now tkis was bad, but it according to law. Also, the man .hose premises the raffle was held fined for keeping a common .iiiK house. The common church ty quilt raffle, we believe, ur-Jer this, but nobody has .(.of ore bethered themselves about such lotteries. Still, we were just thinking that should such an infor- mation be laid against any organiza- tion it would not make interesting reading to learn that some local society waa charged with keeping a common gaming house, even though a fine was not imposed. It is best to keep away from even the remotest chance of such a di.sgrace. Will Not Be Hindered EDITORIAL NOTES ui With practically everybody concern- ed over the increase in the number of cancer cases it would naturally be thought that any one who discovers a remedy for its control or its cure would be greeted with general re- joicing among the medical profession as lamong the lay population. But such seems not to be the fact. In the Bracebridge Gazette and the Hunts- ville Forester we have read much about the cancer treatment Miss Rene M. Caisse, a Bracebridge nurse, is administering to victims of this ilrcad disease. The Huntsville For- t^ter recently gave the names of a number of Jpcople who have been cured by Miss Caisse. A typical one wlas a Huntsville man whom doctors had pronounced a hopeless victim of cancer and declared nothing could be done for him. His friends in town saw him quit work and prepare for the end. He consulted Miss Caisse and in time resumed work and is to all appearances cured of the dread cancer. Other like cases were given by the Forester. These facts have been brought to the attention of the medical profess- ion, but the harrying of Miss Caisse by the Ontario Medical Council News and Informatioo for the Farmer . Tobacco Exports Exports of Tobacco to the United Kingdom in the twelve-month period ending September ly37 amounted to 8,200,000 pounds, as compared with 9,350,000 pounds in the preceding twelve-month period. The outlook for export shipments this season is reported very good with a keen inter- est displayed on the part of export buyers in purchasing their require- ments during the sale of Norfolk tobacco. Price Parity The disadvantage which prevailed between prices of farm commodities and manufactured products since 1929 was terminated in Oct. 1936, and dur- ing the first half of 1937 farmers were able to obtain a greater than normal quantity of manufactured goods in exchange for their agricultural pro- jdncts. In the last several months, due to the fall in agricultural prices, this advantage has been almost lost and at the first of December the two sets of prices were practically on a not: However, when Miss Caisse re-, parity. It is expected, however, that Yes, the League of Nations is still in existence. It is about to sit again in order to perform the operation of amputation of some of the powers under which it operated. Mainly it wishes to get rid of the power to enforce sanctions against a belliger- ant nation. Poor old League of Na- •Uons! It finds its strength failing â€" getting weaker every day and soon will probably be numbered amongst the has-beens. • • • Another great Canadian statesman. Right Hon. Sir George Pcrley, Con- servative member for Argenteuil, and a formerr Canadian High Commis- sioner to London, died on Tues- day of last week. He represented the Quebec constituency in the House of Commons for forty years. This was a personal victory for him and politics did not enter into the results of his cl(H:tions. He was a politician of the old school, highly regarded by both parties and his presence in the House will be missed. However, the march of time i« no respecter of persons. • • • Already magistrates in Ontario are commencing to realize thc'i" duty and make the punishment fit the crime in respect to persons handling motor vehicles while under the inl'lu- <-nce of liquor. Several severe jkiltI- ties have been made on convicted drivers uf cars, that included confis- cation of license plates and driving permit, with an additional joint sont- encf tackpd on. 11 is to be hoped that those drivers will learn that they can- not drive in whatever conditinn they please and escape the consequences. • • • .New decisions on motor accident.--. are continually brought to light by various magistrates in their interpre- tation of the law. It is now compul- sory for a car driver to return to the scene even if the "accident" was the killing of a chick<'n, cat or dog. What- ever the accident may have been they arc compelled by law to stop and see if the owner of the victim is around and a settlement made. But if you run over a skunk our advice to the driver would be to "keep going." • • • During the past few months in China mor« "incidents'* have occurred than would have started a war a few short years ago. The Great War was started on a smaller item than has been caused by the Japanese to Brit- ish and United States interests. It would appear as if .Japan waa Inten- tionnlly provoking pauses to make war with Britain. If such an event occurred the world would again bn drawn In and Cermnny would, be only too pleased to enter n conflict again In nn ofTort to win bark bor colonici" lost after the Inst war. signs to the inevitable and declares she will cease trying to alleviate suffering caused by cancer, she is requeste<l not to do so by the Medi- cal Council. Last week the Brace- bridge Gazette announced that Miss Caisse had been requested to call on the deputy ministe rof halth, who in- formed her that a check-up of results of her treatment for cancer has been made and assured her she will not be further hindered in the activities of her cancer clinic. So far so good. B\x!) 1 why not go further and make Miss Caisse a medical doctor? There is precedent for this. Back in the days when Sir Oliver Mowat was pre- mier of Ontario Delos R. Davis, a brilliant negro of Amherstburg, dis- played a decided flair for law and was regarded a better lawyer than many graduates of Osgoode Hall. Mr. Davis was continually harried by the Ontatrio Law Society, until, finally, Hon. W. D. Balfour, member for South B.ssex, got enough support in the legislature to make Davis a law- yer by act of parliament and he was enabled to enter on the practise of law unmolested, without the formal- ity of taking a course at the law school. There was a protest, plenty oC it, from the legal profession, but once Mr. Davis had been made a law- yer his opponents could do nothing and he became an authority on mun- icipal law. So outstanding was his success that he was afterwards m.-i a K.C. If we mistake not a daughtei of Mr. Davis lives in Amherstburg today. With the portfolio of health in the hands of a non-member of the medi- cal profession it might not be imposs- ible to have Miss Caisse made a doc- tor by act of the legislature. If such were done she would be able unham- periKl even by criticism to alleviate the sufferings of cancer victims who might go to her for treatment. The Simcoe and Northern Ontario Press Association is scheduled to meet at Bracebridge this coming summer and on that occasion perhaps Miss Caisse may be induced to give the news- papermen some of the indisputable evidence of the efficacy of her Ireat- mi'iit for cancer. Not that we doubt anything (hat has l>e('n pulilishe<l in the Bracchridgo fiazctto or th« Huntsville Forestser, but it seems to us to bo a case in which the more evidence adduced in the affirmative the stronger the argutnents for the recognition of the treatment and thft woman who administers it. â€" Alliston Ilcrahl. the present position will not be great- ly changed during the first part of 1938. t t t t t t T T T T t t ?

With the exception of several minor setbacks the acreage has steadily increased and last season 60,000 acres were planted as compared with 46,000 acres in 1936. With satisfactory weather conditions in the main belt, production reached a total of 62,500,000 pounds, com- poseid of 53,000,000 of flue-cured, 7,- 000,000 pounds of burley, and 2,500,- 000 pounds of dark tobacco. This output established a new peak con- siderably in excess of the pervious record crop of 48,492,000 pounds hai-v- ested in 1935. Prices amounted to an average of 27c per pound for flue-cure d and 11 V4' cents for burley and compare favor- ably with prices of 28.7 and 11.7 cents in 1936, respectively. The 1937 to- bacco crop will return growers approximately $15,000,000 which is $7,000,000 more than last year and about $5,000,000 greater than the pre- vious high figure obtained in 1935. Tobacco now assumes the role of one of Ontario's chief agricultural pro- ducts, and this statement will be readily conceded when it is realized that the value of this aeason'g crop will slightly exceed the value of cheese production, will amount to al- most as much as total egg production and more than twice as much as the commercial fruit crop, or two and a half times the potato crop. Rearing Winter Pigs The winter feeding of swine pre- sents many problems that are not encountered in summer time, since pigs are forced to live under unnat- ural conditions in winter and without the variety of feeds available in the earlier part of the year. At the same time it has to be remembered that any attempt at forcing winter pigs when exercise is limited is courting disaster. Good feed should be fed at a rate that the pigs can overtake and the pigs kept in dry, comfortable (inarters with room for exercise in the early stages of growth. By com- bining good feeding and innnagement many of the commnn ailments of .wine will be avoidcul and the result will bi.' healthy and thiifly market |)igs. Successful winter pig production depcMids largely upon three factors: These factors are: warm, dry sleeping (lunrters, free from draughts; suit- able feeds and care in feeding them, and I'xercise in the early stages of growth. Exercise for the growing â- uiinial is practically a nices.sity. This is particularly true of the pig in IJJie early stages, and especially so if \kv pig is being forced by heavy feeding. Heavy feeding without ex- ercise is c(rnducive to crippling. It is | wise, therefore, to allow the young pigs to run outdoors during the tine full weather, and when they mu.st be kept inside, due to bad weather, they should be allowed sufficient pen space to exercise freely. With regard to providing warm and dry sleeping quarters, if there are buildings available it would be unwise and not economical to build new pig (luarteis. Even old buildings should be remodelled only sufficiently to en- sure comfortable feeding and sleep- ing accommo<Iation. Sufficient trough should be provided so that each pig will have nn opportunity to secure a f.-iir share of the feed. If the build- iniT is drnugbty or likely to be cold, the construction of a covered sleeping berth will be well worth considera- tion. It can be constructed of any nvnilnble lumber in a dry corner of the feeding pen. The sleeping berth sbnuld not bo more than three foot high and civered with bonrdt and â- I raw, and lu«t large eonugh in area t^ houso the nigs comfortably in a bed of dry, clean straw. The British Market And Canadian Farm Produce A story of neglected opportunities for sale of Canadian agricultuiul pro- ducts in the United Kingdom market s told in a highly informative report just issued by the Dominion Minister of Agriculture, Hon. James G. Gard- ner. The report reveals the results of an intensive study of the British mar- ket which was conducted by a group it Canadian agricultural experts who visited the British Isles with A. M. Shaw, recently appointed Director of .Marketing Services for the Dominion Department of Agriculture. It was found Liiut other Dominions' products were better known than Canadian in Great Britain and that housewives were not famiilar with Canadian goods. Practically every product of the Canadian farm which enters the ex- port market, from cattle and dressed poultry to honey and canned pears, is dealt with in the report, and each item is related to the British merchant and consumer. The report reveals infor- mation which tke Canadian agricultur- al specialists gleaned from interviews with importers, conmmission agents, brokers, wholesalers, manufactiu-ers, retailers and housewives in 18 cities in England, Scotland and Ireland. Farms where herds of Canadian dairy cows and beef cattle were feeding were visited, as were fruit auctions, cheese factories, jam manufacturing plants, and famous food marts. The report includes six general find- ings of great importance to the Can- adian farmer and to all interested in the export of Canada's farm produce to the British market. Definite re- commendations are also given in the report, advocating an immediate adop- tion of a three-fold, long-term policy to win a greater and more constant share of the British market. These findings and recommendations are set forth at length in the 86-page report which may be obtained free on appli- cation to the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department of Agricutlure, Ottawa. Cannot License Bicycles. Cities have the power to license bi- cycles but towns and villages appar- ently do not share this authority. Orillia had planned to license all bi- cycles as a check on bicycle thieving which is rampant in that town, but the town solicitor advised the council they had no authority to do this und- er the present Municipal Act.
