THE DAILY TiMES-GAZETTE - WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1947 PAGE FOUR " LATEST NEWS OF T E COUNTY. TOWN OF WHITBY: Phone 703, All Departments Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Rotary Speaker Says Canada Is | A Thoroughbred Speaking at the weekly meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club yester- .day afternoen, John T. Bryden, Assistant General Manager of the North American Life Insurance Company, likened Canada's position in the world today to that of & thoroughbred rsce horse prepping for a futurity stake horse race. Mr. Bryden clarified the statement by saying that the race for a predom- inant place in the world's economic and political limelight must cer- tainly appear to ole outside the confines of the earth's sphere as identical to that of a horse race with all participants straining for the lead. "The individual Canadian citizen should. acquaint himself with the achievemen': of Canada in the ldst 75 years cince federation and.con- sequently should feel a glow of pride in. these achievements," he said. "However," he added, "in spite of the advances already made there is still room for a great deal of im- | provement. Perfection is a goal and not an attainment." Mr. Bryden injected a note of warning into his address when he stated that "the citizens of Canada must all be careful. There are énemies of this country who delight in sowing the seeds of discontent and then reaping the harvest." One of the toughest obstacles to overcome in this race for a position among world leaders according to 'Mr. Bryden is the fact that a very predominant feature of the race is self-interest. He said that this point was brought very much to the fore during the war years and was | seni illustrated ably by black marketeers speaker coould not hope to follow a course eatirely different from that of the United States. He said that the US. was a very close and friendly neighbour and because of the close » inter-country ties it would be im- possible to hope for success by fol- | many persons | for the post of jock in this 'Futurity Stake' including adherents to capitalism, socialism acquaint themselves with the true facts of present government part; ambitions and then decide for themselves who the jockey would be. However, he warned the gathering that the minority should not be al- lowed to decide this important question since the size of the rate- payer's pocketbook and the extent of his freedom depended on the verdict. The speaker said that it conceivable that the country come through a war of tude of the Second World W: not experience a rise in However, he added that it the o extent of the increase that had many merchants and businessmen worried at the present time. He said that insofar as he could aescer- tain, Canada's only hope in the race was to "leave our thoroughbred ' with a maximum of freedom with whieh to face the long grind to the e.' Possible reasons for the rise in prices were advanced by the speaker and they included the granting of loans to foreign countries at a time when products were still in short supply here, the awarding of a baby bonus which placed additional spending power in the hands of a large number of citizens. "The obvious solution would ap- pear to be a greater extent of co- operation," he said, " with ' a relaxation of strict contfols.

Iris Useful Plant Canadian Gardens The tall bearded varieties of Tris are amongst the most useful plants for Canadian -gardens. These are the ones generally known as Iris and can be optained in a great number of colors. I= he' vari- eties listed by dealers number hundreds and new ones are intro- duced every year. Some people make the Iris the chief flower in their gardens and grow very little else, perhaps a few daffodils and other spring bulbs and some late oming 'flower in order to have color in the garden all season. The majority of gardeners like & few varieties of Iris in the perennial JI | borders and they are quite suitable for this pi If given well- urpose. drained soll and kept free from rampant growing neighbors, so that the rhizomes (the underground root- like stems) will become well ripened in summer, the Iris will bloom:well i for several" years. | Au Irises are not particular about the soil if it 1s well drained, but they i e lots of sun so that .the | ie are thoroughly ripesed, || says the pamphlet by || tural Division, || Service, on "The Culture of Iris, i| Peony and Phlox."

Protein concentrate feeds are still in short supply but with good pasture for the flock one is able to get along with much less of these materials during the growing period. Good pasture is an excel- lent source of good quality protein says Mr. 8S. J. Slinger, of the Poul- ty Dept., Ontario Agricultural Col- ege. Turkeys may be placed on range "|at from 8 to 10 weeks of age with the later hatched birds going out sooner, © The feed should be changed gradually at this time to a turkey growing mash and grain. free choice. It is an excellent plan to feed some chopped feed for a week or two before the birds are placed on range, otherwise there is danger of the birds over- eating greens when first moved outside, thus causing some birds to develop "pendulous" crops or im- pactign of the crop or gizzard. Ordinarily it is advisable to car- ry turkeys on range on a full feed program, that is, to havé mash and grain before the birds at all times. With good pasture available, how- ever, perfectly good turkeys can be produced by restricting the mash intake. At the moment it would appear that many of our turkeys this year will have to be fed in this manner. By giving one liber- al feeding of turkey growing mash or turkey growing pellets each day and a free choice supply of grain, the birds will be encouraged to make better use of the pasture and the length of time required to fin- ish a bird for. market will+hot be increased - materially. It is unwise to attempt restricted feeding un- less plenty of good pasture is available and the birds should in all cases be full fed on both mash and grain for a period of six weeks before marketing, It is not advisable to mix the grains used in feeding turkeys, ra- ther Such gnats should be fed in separa oug the birds to decide for i J how much of the various desire. Wheat is The feed and pasture are used more efficiently by turkeys if they are given some form of insoluble grit such as granite. Such grit may be given twice g week; or, if the birds have a supply of oyste; shell or limestone always availab- If turkeys on good have all the skim milk or go Mes they will drink plus a. free choice supply of grains, no mash need be given, In order that the birds con- sume sufficient milk for good growth under these conditions, no water should be given. . Some loss due to "pendulous" crops is to be expected where the milk plus grain system is used but this is offset if & cheap supply of milk is availabe le. "Pendulous" crop birds - are best marketed immediately they are noticed. Agriculture In Denmark In a comprehensive report on the Danish agricultural situation, it is pointed out that the general downward trend in hog numbers precludes any great increase in bacon production before 1948 despite any price incentives which may be introduced, says Agricul- ture Abroad, issued by the Econ- omicg Divisioft, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is antici- pated that exports of bacon and pork in 1947 will be approximate- ly the same as in 1946, namely, almost 60,000 short tons, How- ever, an objective for the market- ing year 1947-48 has been set at 84,000 short tons. Cattle numbers, as of .January. 1, 1947, were 87,000 head below the previous year. It is anticipa- ted, however, that exports of about 275,000 head of cattle (160,000 alive) will be attained through the maintenance of re- duced home consumptioh of beef. A 12.5 per cent reduction has been in effect since October, 1946, through restrictions on the allo- cation of supplies to dealers. Extensive damage to the win- ter wheat crop has been reported, It is estimated that yields will be reduced by over 50 per cent ow- ing to prolonged frosts. Conse- quently a prohibition has been im- posed on the production of white bread, save for use by invalids whilst other "white" bread must be made from a mixture of rye, barley and wheat. Negotiations on a revision of the Anglo-Danish Trade Agree- ment of July, 1946, have been concluded and increases in prices to be paid by the United Kingdom agreed upon, The United Kingdom has ag- reed to an increase in the contract price of Danish bacon from 150s per long cwt. to 161s. during the period January 1, 1947, to Sep- tember 30, 1947 (equivalent to $26.98 and $28.96 per 100 pounds respectively). In addition, for 'the marketing year 1947.48, the previously agreed minimum price of 142/6 per long hundredweight has been increased to 161s, (That is, from $26.63 per 100 pounds to $27.96). 48 HOUR DRY-CLEANING SERVICE FOR WHITBY Ph__.e 707 DAILY PICK-UP AND DELIVERY!

Suitability of Hay Balers In the 'harvesting of hay, balers will 'be found particularly suitable for operations where the crop is to be shipped by truck or train, where storage space 'is limited and where baled hay is an aid in feeding live- Under these conditions, baled hay catl he moved more readily and ata lower cost than loose hay, says W. 'Kalbfipischi,- Agricultural Engin- eer," Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Pick-up balers are now being manufactured in two types, namely, the hand-tie units and the auto- matic balers, the latter operating with"a one man crew. Some of the automatic balers are made for use with twine while other units are designed for using wire in tying the bales. Practically all types of pick- up bales can be supplied with a power-take-off drive or with auxili- ary engines. Automatic balers of some types produce rectangular bales while others form round bales that are about 18" in diameter and 36" long. In operating a baler it is import- ant that the windrows be adjusted to the proper weight and size so that the baler can be operated at full capacity and without over- loading or plugging. On light crops of hay two or more swaths can be side raked together while on very heavy crops a single swath windrow is sufficient. For rectangular bale machines the windrow should be very narrow but with the wide throat round-bale machines the windrow may measure 3 to 4 feet. In general, balers which are fitted with auxiliary engines can be eper- ated much more smoothly and with less clogging because the tractor dl can be adjusted to the size of the windrow with this style of machine, When operated under the best conditions most of the automatic balers on the market will bale 6 to 7 tons per hour, but the average capacity of these machines usually does not exceed 4 tons and over a period of time may range from 2% to 3 tons per hour. Due to the in- vestment, cost in balers the cost per ton varies considerably with the tonnage handled per year and with the speed of operation. At least 200 tons, and preferably 300 tons, should be baled per year to keep the investment cost low. Under av- tons per year and 24 tons per day, the estimated baling cost ig" 80 cents to $1.00; twine or' wire 5% cents to 76 cents; tractor and fuel 26 cents and operator 20 cents or a: total of approximately $1.75 to $226 per ton. These estimates in- clude depreciation, interest, repairs, fuel and oil. . Although baled hay is more read- |ily handled than long hay, the loading, 'elevating and stacking of bales presents:a problem in harvest- ing the hay crop. Actually it may require as many man hours per ton to harvest hay by the baler method as with the hay loader but many persons prefer'to move bales rather than long hay with a hand fork. In tests on moisture of hay and stor age it has been found that baled hay when placed in the mow should be as dry, or slightly dryer," than long hay when ready for storage in a mow, AWARD TO SCHOOL MAGAZINE Ottawa =~ (CP) ----- The Ot- tawa High School of Commerce 'has been awarded the Columbia Seholastic Press Association prize for the best lithographic section among Canadian . and United States school annuals, 4 » erage_conditions, on a basis of 300 | w.
