PLANBUTTER MAKERS POOL Western Creamery Officers Meet to Discuss Plan Ottawa, July 28--Plans are well advanced to have all the larger creameries of Western Canada join a pool to bonus the export of but- ter. The proposal is that every creamery in Western Canada pro- ducing 50,000 pounds or more of butter a year pay one cent a pound into a fund and this would be paid to exporters of butter to supple- Robert Weir, Minister of Agricul. ture and followed a meeting' of the principal creamery companies oper- ating was held in Toronto. The meeting in Toronto was an outcome of a long conference last Tuesday which representatives of the creamery companies had with Mr. Weir in Ottawa. Another meeting will be held in Winnipeg next Tuesday. The price of butter in the West naw is about 20 cents a pound There is a heavy flow of butter into Eastern Canada which, because of the large populations and the great amount of cheese manufactured, does not produce equal to the do- mestic requirements. This flow has held the price of butter in the East at 221; cents the natural spread as compared with the 21-cent. price in London. Under the pool arrange- ment it is expected that the buttter from the West going through to London would continue to net back to the exporter in the West 20 cents and in addition he would receive from the export butter fund three or four cents a pound. This would prevent gluts on the western and castern market, and it is believed would bring the domestic price in the West up to the net export price plus the bonus. In other words, both the exporter and the com- panies supplying the domestic mar- ket would receive slightly under 25 cents a pound in Western Canada which | mates of the institution of thirty- six cribbage boards with seventy- five decks of cards, Né danger existed that the high- er price in the West might make the butter flow from the eastern ment the price received on the world market. Announcement of the proposal was made by Hon. rovinces to the West, he Minis- PL lained, because the western ot? never de high 'enough as compared with the t tO start the trade in that direction. The amount of butter to be ex- ported, of course, will not be very great. There is about enough but- ter in Canada now to take care of requirements until next spring, and so 'the exports would be somewhat less than what is produced between now and the end of the season. Once the flow of butter into the markets of Montreal and Tdronto from the Prairies let up, it is an- ticipated domestic prices here would move up to the extent of the bonus. 'With butter bringing 24 cents in London or 22%; cents in Eastern Canada and 20 cents in the West, the three or four cents would be added to the London price and the markets in Canada would move up correspondingly. The plan is dependent on a 100- per cent signature of creameries on the Prairies psoducing over 50,000 pounds a year and those meeting in Toronto representing all, but one important firm with western connec- tions recommended . the proposal. The final decision will be made at the meeting in Winnipeg. MORE DOLLAR WHEAT FOR WESTERN FARMERS That the day of dollar wheat is still with us is clearly shown by special feeding tests conducted dur- ing the past winter at the federal Experimental Statioh at Rosthern, Sask. 'Tests were made with both low grade barley and wheat. Twenty head of yearling Short- horns were used in the test and the grain was fed with cut oat sheaves. It proved slightly cheaper to produce a pound of grain with barley than with wheat but the important feature of the tests was the value found for these grains when marketed through beef cattle, and this was as follows :-- Market values are For For barley wheat ing at per bush. per bush s. per 1b .. $1.59 $2.72 " ie 1.37 1.92 117% 121 1.05 148 94 1.34 83 1.19 72 1.04 62 90 " £1 73 eT Ta 60 Med The lot fed ground wheat appear- ed to relish their ration better than the lot fed barley, but there was no waste in either lot. An average of five pounds of grain per day per head was fed. This shows con- clusively that live stock are rapidly increasing in importance as a me- dium for the marketing of grain crops. R.O.P.

Oshawa from such flocks as these that the supply of high grade made birds to head breeding pens for the coming season are largely available, - With the present trend toward effiiciency in production the male bird plays an increasingly important part. It is the male bird more than any other single factor upon which suc- cess in breeding for production de- pends, It is estimated that, on a basis of seven male birds for every one hundred breeding hens, over 7,000 pedigteed cockerels will be required to meet the demand of the coming season. TRANS.CANADA HIGHWAY COMES CLOSER That highway, which will choose a path for itself through the hitherto uncharted areas of Northern Ontariq to lnk up the existing highways in Eastern and Western Canada, is coming clos- er, A date in September has heen set for cutting the ribbon on the completion of the road be- tween Kenora and Winnipeg. That will mean that the Mani- toba and Ontario sections will Fave been linked, and all that will remain will be the building of a few hundred miles between Kenora and - Hearst. Proposed routes have heen sifted out, and survey parties are already out covering the ground, according to Hon. William Finlayson, Mini- ster of Lands and Forests for On- tario, who recently spent a busy week in the North Country. The complete highway wotild seem to be only a matter ¢f time. through a specially devised fnsu- lating system is an important fea- ture of the 1931 Buick body by Fisher. This insulation provides 2n extra measure of comfort for Buick owners, in addition to tne luxurious interiors and ths sci- ertific adaptation of the body construction to the extra power and speed of the Buick valve-in- head Straight Eight engine. The insulation is designed to protect -hoth the front and reat compartments. In the front compartment it prevents sound and heat from penetrating the floor and dashboard of the car. In the rear compartment, the in- siulation acts as a seal against heat and cold, as well as drafts and noise coming through the floor. The insulation in the front compartment consists of three layers of materials, each having an important function to perform. Next to the dash is a thick insulating board. This keeps out the heat and epld. Against this is laid a layer of felt three-quarters of an ineh thick, which eliminates noise. Over this felt is a layer of waterproof board. The whole is finigshed in band-crushed Spanish grain in a color to harmonize with the in- terior. a The heat-insulating 'board is made of sugar cane, producing a material that has high résistance to heat and cold. The floor and {oe boards in the front compart- ment are protected by heavy felt, cemented to the rubber floor mat.
