A I'ROFITABl,K POULTRY I.V- dustry requires that a planned pro- duction program be adopted na- tionally. At least one third of the exportable egg surplus should be produced during the Fall and ear- l.v winter months of 1947. This means earlier chicks â€" chicks hatched in February and March â€" or January where practicable. A la rgft. volume of Fall and early win- der eggs should be the goal of the i-'anadian Poultry industry every year. Failure to meet this goal would be a deterrent to future fa- vorable contracts. Giving: Britain eggs when she wants them pro- vides ihe bargaining power for surplus eggs in other seasons. Ear- l.v hatched chicks have greater liv- ahility. they develop better, they lay more eggs. The eggs are pro- duced at a season when attractive premiums exist. Buy chicks a monih earlier in 1947 and buy good Tweddle chicks.

Scorched Earth Policy of Soviet In Manchuria Edwin Pauley's final report on Russia's looting of Manchuria charges not only that it has delay- ed China's economic recovery by a full generation but that it was systematically planned to do so. Whatever the motive ' may have been, ^^r. Pauley makes it abun- dantly clear that tlie industrial pa- ralysis the Rns.sian Army left be- hind it has definitely upset our own policy of building a strong, united and self-sufficient Cliina, says tlie New York Times. The amount of damage the So- viet forces were able to inflict in their brief occupation is appalling. The report conservatively esti- mates it at two billion dollars, a colossal sum in terms of the ori- ental fiscal structure. In Manchu- ria, Japan had developed an elabo- rate and highly efficient industrial plant, which was practically intact when the Russians marched in. When they marched out it no long- er existed. Only a skeleton which cannot function remains. Tlie re- port emphasizes how little Russia herself gained by her pillage â€" less, in fact, than slie might have ob- tained through normal Japanese reparations. A large strategic pur- pose is strongly implied. Presuma- bly it was to leave China, her ally, in cliaos and establish Russia as the dominant Power in the Far East. « ♦ * The Russians did not "strip" Manchuria. T' â- did not take evcrytliing. I' .ips that was im- possible. Tl:i â- cuuld not remove the mines or Uicir mineral wealth. But tliey took away tlie macliinery which would have prevented their flooding and so left them "irrepar- ably" damaged. They were not con- tent to ship to Siberia virtually all key material from tlie industrial plant. â€" machinery and modern ina- chitie tools, generators, electric equipment, chemicals, even labora- tories and hospitals â€" but "permit- ted and encouraged" local mobs to pillage the wrecked factories. It has left China economically and politically out of joint, a continued prey to internal strife. No man can now say how long it will take to restore ^^anchtlria or establish the just peace China might have enjoyed had her most valuable province been returned to her in proper condition. Radar Forecasts Radar is now being used to de- termine when and where rain will fall and the probable size of the raindrops, according to a soil ex- pert of the University of Wiscon- sin. R. J. Muckenhirn, professor of soil at ihe university's College of Agriculture, told tlie first annual meeting of the Soil Conservation Society of America that radar, soil and DDT, all produced by wartime research, had proved aids in fight- ing soil erosion and improving the crop variety. He said that radar indicated not only the place and time that rain could be expected, but how initch could be expected.

SPOTS OF SPORTS By FRANK MANN HARRIS ===^==== ("A Six Bit Critic") ===== Latest to prophesy that hockey will sooner or later de- velop into a five njan-a-side pas- time is Mr. Edward Lalonde, bet- ter known in the days of his ath- letic .:)BJSoniinence as 'Newsy'. The same ^Ir. Lalonde's opinion is one that deserves more than passing attention, as he was much better than a raw hand at a wide variety of sports, and especially at hockey and lacrosse. More than that, he was one of that very tiny minority of athletes who carry as much above the ears as they do below â€" in fact we remember very few capable of out-smarting him 1., time of stress. Tliere probably wouldn't be very many oi" the so-called experts who would include Newsy Lalonde on an .Ml-time All-star hockey team, although we could mention several big-league clubs that could very well stand for a player of his calibre. But that he was one of the greatest lacrosse players who ever accidentally-on-purpose clipped an opponent over the noggin, few who ever saw him in action would deny. He could play â€" and star af â€" any position from goal to inside home: and lacrosse old-timers, especially those down Cornwall way, will vividly recall how. when his team was in need of goals, the cry would arise from the stands" Bring Newsy Lalonde down on the home." Down he would come from his defense position: and in would go goals, scored either by himself, or by team-mates with his assistance. And although "assists" were not credited to players in that day. Newsy had a way of helping his pals to score that was peculiarly his own â€" and a very pretty one to watch, too, although not a method we would recommend to players wishing to retain all their mnnly beauty. We recall one goal-tender in par- ticular that Newsv used to trick in this manner with great regular- ity. For years he had carried on a bitter fend with this net-guardian, who haled Lalonde with, a bitter hatred. .'\t a crucial moment Newsy would dash through the goal-crease within easy swiping distance of his enemy's stick. The temptation would prove too great. The goal- fender would take a vicious swing at the Lalonde head â€" and, with his attention so diverted, it was a simple matter for one of Newsy's team-mates to slain the 1»11 into the nets. Of course, quite frequently the goal-tender wottid connect with the Lalonde noggin â€" but what was a split head as compared with a bad- ly-needed goal? Lacrosse players of that era could almost invariably be spotted, cither on or off the field, by the scars they carried; and al- though we haven't happened to set eyes on him for a number of years, we shouldn't be too greath' sur- prised if Mr. Lalonde still bore, on various portions of his physique, plenty of such marks of the pro- fession. For lacrosse of that day was jiist about the toughest game on the entire sports calendar â€" a much rougher and rowdier pastime than it has since developed into, al- tliough whether or not increase in gentlemanliness has had anthing to do with decline in popularity it is not for us to say. .\nyw3y, whether on home grounds or on alien pas- tures, wherever the going was heaviest, there you would find La- londe taking â€" and handing out â€" plenty of punishment, but at the same time always figuring on some way to ont-guess the other fellow. * * * So when Newsy Lalonde ex- presses the opinion that five-man hockey is on its way toward ti», don't put it down as Just an idle guess of some ignorant bystander. When the pro hockeylsts first sug- gested dropping the "rover'' and making it six-man hockey there were plenty of us who ridiculed it as just a crazy notion â€" one that would never last more than a sea- son at the outside. Yet today there are luindrcds of tliousands of hockey addicts who never saw a game with fourteen men on the ice and, quite possibly, don't even know there ever was a seven-man style. „*, * * « Like other observers, Lalonde has seen that what the average hockey customer of today demands is action, or what passes for action, of the ronlitnious kind. He also knows that the cash-register is the final arbiter, and that what the cus- tomer wants he eventually gets, no matter how much some of the older generation may deplore the decline of stick-handling, clever passing and play-niaking, and individual skill. .And if, as many think, five men a side will leave more room for these team speed-skating con- tests, that is what is bound to come, possibly sooner than you Imagine possible.

Farmers Say Rain-Making Machine Good Some drought-weary farmers In the southwest corner of Saskatcht- wan believe that the "rain-making machine operated by 33-year-otd Donald Johnston of Rcgina was re- sponsible for the record-breaking rains which nurtured the bumper 1942 crop. Just across the border, east of Medicine Hat, Alta., In a similar, traditionally-dry wheatland section, 10 fanners last July paid the Lan- cashire-born bandsman's expense* to bring the foot-square machine there. But Johnson claims "it was too late in the season to do any good and results were not much." Today, the slight, unmarried army veteran and former art stu- dent is overhauling the macliine he first put together in 1937 and hai been perfecting since, getting it ready for next spring. Can Banish Drought He says that if given facilities to operate it in various parts of the prairies, he can banish drought, bringing rain with the "instrument's greatly multiplied power of gravi- tational-attraction to the moon's influence." Soft-spoken Johnston says halt- ingly that the electrical power, drawn from the moon by tlie ma- chine's electro-magnetic field causes electrical changes in the atmosiiliere and when clouds are overhead, affects condensation and thus rain. The machine has an effect over at least a 100-mile radius, he says. Johnston claims that the machine also uses the power of an electric storm in place of the moon when the former is occurring in the vici- nity of the machine, causing rain where no rain would have fal'en had the machine not beeti in op- eration. The machine â€" which he calls a "univcrscope" â€" has a solid steel frame and incorporates two horse- shoe shaped magnets. One of the magnets is fi.xed and the other moves in a semi-circle about it, swinging like a pendulum. He says the moving magnet sets up an electro-magnetic field besides be- ing influenced in the speed of its swing by the moon. "Shut 'er Off!" Johnston has spent $J00 on the machine which is not patented. But he wants only his expenses in re- turn for an opportunity to "smash drought completely througliout the three Prairie provinces." He operated the machin» at Rc- gina and made trips to Swift Cur- rent, Sask., between 19:;8 and 1941 but he received no wide notice until 1942. On Sept. 1 that year, the Swift Current "Sun." a weekly, said editorially: "... A man in Swift Current is operating a mechanical instrument which is supposed to induce rain and strangely enough we have had more rains than in decades past." The previous July rodeo fans at Swift Current had asked him to "shut 'er off" because heavy rains were interfering with the show. Canada Loses Experts to US. Figures made available by the United States Embassy lend sup- port to reports that Canada is los- ing heavily in engineering and other professional personnel to the United States. In the period July. 1945, to June, 1946, a total of 1S.2S0 native-born Canadians were granted visas to enter and live in the United States. Of this number about 2,G36 were in professional and managerial classes, compared with the 8H Canadians of this type who left the country in the period July, 1941, to June, 1942. Humidity in Home Controlling indoor atmosphere will help preserve health. A pan of water on stove or radiator will help when there is no luiinidifier. Warm, dry air does not give the sense of comfort afforded by cooler, moist air, and is harder on breathing tissues, so, say the public health authorities, a householder will save on fuel as well as medical bills, bjr improving the humidity at home In winter months.
