Then there comes the shock of discovering a hearty sum of cash is needed for new school books and pencils and rulers and all those myriad of items that the children have carefuily listed and brought home from school. Different Picture The approach of the school term presents a different picture, however, to the mothers whose eldest child has just reached (The Amherstburg Echo) The staffs of the Department of Finance in Ottawa appear to be just a little over eager beaverish. They are eager to get every last penny in taxes, judging from the new table of Income Tax Deducâ€" tions at Source, which became effective July 1st, but are not so eager to pay interest on overpayments states The Smith Falls Record News. Deductions provided by the table which came into effect on July Ist have been increased to 100% of the tax arid are, of course, some 25% higher than those of the previous table as was announced by the Minister of Finance last spring. The catch is that mostly everyone these days makes charitable donations or has medical expenses high enough to reduce taxable income. As a result most taxpayers will have too many taxes deductâ€" ed from their pay. Inevitably a tremendous number of tax refund cheques will have to be sent out eventually and in all likelihood many more civil servants will have to be hired Q look after the job. With the first cl of the school bell, most motrlers will heave a sigh of relief as they hustle their young fry out of the playgrounds, the swimming l_‘;mols the sandbox in the back yard, and: pack them off to reading and writâ€" ing and arithmetic for another ten school age There was not much wrong with the old system whereby approxâ€" imately 95% of the tax was deducted at the source. This meant that for a great many people at the end of the fiscal year taxes due and taxes paid evened out because of charitable donations, medical exâ€" penses and other deductible items. We feel that many Canadians, realizing that their money overâ€" paid in tax deductions does not bear interest, are remul of the eager beaver attitude of the Department of Finance. . Mr. Abâ€" bott might well consider his department‘s policy on payroll tax deâ€" ductions and revert to the former, more equitable system.

V. Marâ€" shall who supervises the work. The chemists keep in close assoâ€" ciation with chemists in other laâ€" boratories both in industry and in state control agencies. â€" Chemical analysis gives results for such values as protein, fat and fibre. Protein is very important in the growth of animais and it is important to know how much crude protein is contained in a ration. Differences in animal growth have been observed with a small difference in the protein content of feeds. The analysis for crude protein gives a figure for all the protein and does not tell what different proteins are present. It is, however, a very important vaâ€" ‘lugmin judg_ing tgeds. Eks _ um, are of little use to the aniâ€" mais. The chemist must analyse the feed and find out how much calcium, phosphorus and salt are in the ration. The feeder and the nutritionist like to talk of the ratio of calcium to prosphorus and such values can be obtained onlly by chemical analysis. Some salt is necessary to make a ration palatable but the amount must be checked ‘by chemical analysis. Sometimes it is important to know the amount of iodine, iron, cobalt, copper in feeds. These have an important place in aniâ€" mal feeding but the amounts needed are small. It is by chemiâ€" cal analysis that these important elements can be regulated. Chemâ€" ical analysis of feeds has limitaâ€" tions but despite this, it has been theâ€"foundation of nutritional stuâ€" dies and practice. Among the ancient Jews beâ€" trothal was formal and binding as marriage. The purpose of feed inspection and analysis as carried out by the Plant Product Division is to set standards for feeds and to mainâ€" tain these standards. This is done to ensure that the farmer, pou!â€" tryman or other user of the feeds obtain a ration that is safe for feeding and of a certain quality. The analysis for crude fat and fibre is carried out on the same weighed sample. Fat is important as a source of energy and of maâ€" terial that makes an animal healâ€" thy. Fibre is a measure of the part of the feed which cannot be digested readily. This figure for crude fibre has often been critiâ€" cized as not being specific enough but it does give useful informaâ€" tion in evaluating feeds. Many other methods have been studied and talked about but the method used by feed laboratories is the only one which can be carried out quickly and, relatively, cheaply. In many feeds, it is important to know something about the minâ€" eral content. If a sample of feed is heated so that the ash is left, this gives &n indication of the minerals.
