WOMEN'S INSTIT. JAMES BAY COAST PLACED UNDER LAW Indian Violators Visited By Royal Canadian Mounted Patrol Ottawa, Mareh 19.~The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, plotures« que force of the ploneer days of Canada, is still engaged in carrying law and order to places in the Cane adian linterland where it has been hitherto unknown. During the past year it has re- mained not for the western prairie but for the Province of Quebec to supply the principal scene of the operations of the force. A patrol made through the Provinces north. orn wilderness to the eastern shore of James Bay, for the purpose ot {impressing the existence of law and order upon the Indians there, 18 ae tailed in the annual report of Com- mander Courtland Starnes tabled in the Commona yesterday, as one of ¥ho year's major expeditions, Patrol Sent to Indians "During 1929," the report states, tt 'was ascertained that immorality of a serious nature existed among the Indians at East Main, on' ths eastern shore of James Bay, in the Province of Quebec. Arrahgements were made with the authorities of that province whereby a patrol would be made to the scene by an ofticor armed with a temporary ap+ pointment as a police magistrate. In June, 1980, this patrol was made, Inspector A, E, Reames in com. mand. He left Moose Factory "on June 26 with constable W. 8.

Add to this 41.2 pounds of milk and the feed supply straight from the farm totals 157.6 ponds pet bird or over 93 per cent of the feed required, The supple- mentary feed included 33 'pounds beef scrap, 1.9 pounds grit, 3.4 pounds shell, and 1.2 pounds eharelal, A flock of 150 hens will convert 8850 pounds of farm grown feeds into emns and under ordinary conditions will show 100 per cent profit over cost of feed at current prices which is in itself a valuable item of income for any farm, «-Dominion Department of Agricul« ture Alberta ooo 12,500,000 16,004,163 A REAL COST FINDER In these days when cfficiency in production is so essential to success in farming, whether on a large or small scale, cow testing is proving ity worth, Daily weighings of milk arouse a farmer's interest in hig dairy herd and encourage him to give ats téntion to those little details so es« sential to success, Supplemented by periodical visits by the Dairy Pro moters and "fat" tests duily weigh ings provide a reliable guide to ine telligent feeling and increased 'pro. duction, The "boarder" cow who will | Tests carried years by the Poultry Division of the not earn her keep even with the best of feeds can be weeded out and the production from good cows ine creased=Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, I AL ------ ELIMINATING CHICK LOSS With the complete elimination of pullorum which is definitely possible through the strict elimination of re- actors in a flock as determined by the blood test, very considerable save ings to Canadian farmers and poul- trymen in chick loss are assured. out. over u period of dominion Experimental Farms indie cate conclusively that complete elim- ination is possible and that chick mortality from this cause can be similarly decreased . Pullorum alone is. responsible for chick losses run. ning into millions of dollars annually, and to use the words of F, €, Elford, Dominion Poultry ~~ Husbandman, "much, if not all, of this tremendous loss is preventable" YOU CAN HELP MAKE CANADA BEAUTIFUL "Beautifying your home grounds and help make Canada more beauti- ful" is the slogan which has been adopted for a campaign to develop personal interest in ornamental hore ticulture throughout the Dominion, Taking the initiative in the campaign the Canadian Horticultural Council, with the cosoperation of the federal Department of Agriculture through its Experimental Farms Branch, has had a booklet dealing with every phase of "Beautifyving the Home Grounds of Canada," prepared by a landscape architect of outstanding ability, This is essentially a practical text hook on the subject, and not only provides plans and illustrations especially suited to Canadian condis tions but complete glosasry of plants shrubs, trees and ornamentals of Canadian origin particularly adapted for Canadian usage. A feb of twenty- five cents is charged for this Bk, which is being distributed through the Publications Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa, i -------------- BARLEY FOR LIVESTOCK "Barley should be regarded as practically the equal of corn with all classes of live stock | nthe feeding of which the latter grain has Played an important part, It is a Canadian product admirably suited to wides spread production under Canadian conditions, elimatic and cultural, It is equally: well qualified for a place in the growing and finishing ration of Canadian live stock." This is the foreward of a pamphlet just issued by the Animal Husbandry Division (127--New Series) to assist farmers in making greater use of Canadian. grown feeds for beef and dairy cattle, sheep and swine, It is also an ideal grain for the horse when fed in a balanced ration. Every farmer should have a copy of this pamphlet, «Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, A YEAR OF NEW VALUES The year 1931 will go down in the history of Canadian agriculture as a year of new values, of reconstruction and readjustment, The prices of farm products have not only felt the effect of the general depression but have heen forced to new low levels through important market changes forcing a huge volume of products on to the domestic market, But feed stuffs are equally low, and other commodities falling in line make the farmer's dollar to-day worth eonsis derable more than a year ago, There is no year in recent times on whieh to base a comparison of conditions and the ch forced un agriculture is so great that in the opinion' of market experts the figures of produce tion cost and values of recent years are useless for purposes of compatis son, The net returns to farmers during 1931 may prove financially quite as satisfactory as any in recent years==Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, -------------- Writing in the Economic Annalist, official organ of the Agricultural Economics Branch, Ottawa, A. L. Gosselin, endorsing the budget sys- tems for farms, says i= "Budgets help the farmer to work out the best cobination of crops and live stock, to make a good distribu« tion of labour throughout the season, to determine in advance the amount of seed, fertilizers, feed and other supplies likely to be needed during the year, the amount of cash neces- sary to operate the farm and when it will be needed. Budgets help also in determining the total net returns that may be expected, 80 the neces sary financial arrangements may be made to meet living expenses, pay « rents of different kinds, and to make the necessary adjustment between the probable expenses, and the estimated returns, ~ Budgeting is a common practice used by commercial firms, public agencies, and Governments, [t as also been recommended and uscd with success by leading farmers of different countries," A Red-Letter Day With Tom away at college, Sunday was pretty lonesome for his parents, But it became au red-letter day when ho started to telephone in the even ing: There was ro much for him to tell them, and they in turn kept him in touch with the home news, Nothing could have been pleasanter, vai a troubled voyage back, reach ng Moose Factory late on July 18, fter spending a day wind-bound at upert House," The total distance travelled by he patrol in the Quebec hinterland | gs 176 miles by river-cance and 180 miles by sea-going canoes, The inry of Inspector Reames in com: and, records some of the difticul: es of the journey.

Case of Heartlessness "This case," the report comments, "was one of groat heartlossnoss,'" The nection of the report which deals with Western Canada, the traditional scene of the operations of the force, is, perhaps, less pletur- esque. than usual, The cases wot forth no longer conjure up visions of the wild life of the frontier, They suggost instead a prairie commtry in which thousands of Europehn im- migrants are undergoing the pro- cosn of assimilation into Canada's citizenship. Fven reference to the trouble which the force has had with "eatile rustlers" is devold of any frontier glamor. Other times have brought other manners, even to western rustlers. They operate now by mos tor truck. "First," the report says, "the thieves reconnoftre in cars, and when they have found a promising place, an expedition is» made by night by motor truck." The opera- tions are declared to be difficult to meot, i Co-eds of Today Better Than Fifty Years Ago Ashland, 0, March 19=Tetty Co ed of 1931 is a better girl physically than Betty Co-ed of 50 years ugo. She weighs mote, is taller, and has 4 greater lung capacity and, chest girtly, This was revealed by Dr. Edwih I, Jacobs, president of Ashland Cole lege, who during the last 15 years, has studied the physical measures mients taken of 6000 girl freshmen in five institutions of Higher learn. ing during the last half céntury. The ages of the girls measured were ap- proximately 187or 19 years. Dr, Jacobs' analysis Indicated that the improvement had been steady. He said that the causes for ine creased vigor perhaps, are: "YiuCollege girls may now be com- ing from a different stratum of society than formerly, "2-Previous improved high school training in physical education may hive its effect, "3eCieperal health conditions of all homes are better than formerly, "dealt may also be that the gen- eral physical vigor of this part of the 'population is improving, "5-=0t it may be that mote vigor. ous and robust girls are setting out for college riaher than the weaker ones, for there can be no doubt but that modern college life appeals more and more to the vigorous girl," fo get what you WANT when you Oshawa 35 HERE will be an adept Ad-Taker at our end cager and competent to render helpful ser- vice and transmit your desires to the thousands of readers of our Classified Columns .... people who find our Want Ad Page a Market Place for the things they want ..and a Clearing House for the things they have which you may want, , THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES a p { R 4
