Another reason is lliat populations tend to outKrow the arre.ijre and productivity o( the soil. The s;inie fate is fjiadually over- taking the whole world. At our present rate of Koing tlierc is bound lo be a world shoitage of food in time. The worM population is in- creasing at the rate of lU million people per year. Think of M) million more meals every day all the year round. Another cause of food shortage is koil erosion. Millions of tons of Sgricultiiral products are lost each year tl^roll^;h that cause. Soil ero- sion is the worst enemy of agricul- ture, and is caused by ruthless "mining" of the earth, destruction of forests and plowing up of prairies. I'illions of acres have been lost from tliese causes. .At the pres- ent rate there is less food being produced for more people. Sir John lioyd Orr, the great Scottish food expert, has been an ilmost lone voice in warning what the outlook is.

Aloreover, the fighter air- craft can be d( igncd to eliminate the present "bubble" canopy over the pilot, and thus preserve the streamlining necessary in a plane built to surpass the speed of sound. The pilot lying prone would have a system of mirrors and periscopes to enable him to see above and to the rear. More than 1.200 cars are loaded daily with pulp and paper pro- ducts in Canada.

Some Notes From The FaiAi f'roiit Of Spacial Interest To Rur?.l Readers Hy jtdin Nnssell Clover and alfalfa seed are bring ing top prices, and with the world demand running al a high level, farmers arc urged to take every possible precaution against crop losses. It takes at least two years to produce a crop, making it all the more imporlant that the great- est possible yields be obtained. Control of insects attacking these crops is essential. Experiments have proved /that the destruction of clover-head caterpillars and weevil in Eastern Canada, and the lugus bug in the west, can mean yield increases running from >.) to 50 per cent. A single application of three per cent DDT dust at from :iO lo ;(.â- ) pounds per acre is usually sullicicnt. But care should be taken not to treat the crops when blossoms are open, for fear of killing beesâ€" nor should DDT be used on crops that are to be used for livestock feed. ♦ ♦ * "Livestock Bruising Costs .Mil- lions" â€" is the startling title of a most interesting pictorial pos'.er which will shortly be circulated by the Dominion and Provincial De- partments of Agriculture acting in cooperation willi railways, packing houses, livestock shipping and truck- ing associ.itioiis and other interest- ed organizations. The poster illustrates right and wrong methods of loading, penning, T-nd driving commercial livestock, together with some of the damage which results to carcasses when safety measures are not observed. It couples farmers, producers, truck- ers, drovers, processors and packfrs as links in the marketing chain, and sets out some of the responsibilities of each in eliminating some of the terrific losses due to dead, crippled and bruised animals arriving at the markets. During the months of July, Aug- ust and .'September â€" and often for far longer perio<is â€" dairy cattle suller from the attacks of two com- mon types ol (lies. Stable flies, often confused wi;h house flies, are one type. Horn flies are the second. These flies congregate on the withers, just behind the cows' shoulders; and it is <|uite common lo find production of milk per cow drop from live to ten pounds a day during the fly season. In a herd of ten rows -at riirrent milk prices â€" this means a loss of from $1.50 to $:!.()() daily. .Multiply this loss by tjie usual .10 davsof the minimum fly period, and it amounts to some- thing impressive, a loss few farm- ers can afford. An easy way of completely over- coming this seasonal loss is through the use of a .'lO per cent wettable DDT formulation. Directions call for mixing one pound in 10 to 20 gallons of water, and applying the spray mixture at the rate of about one quart per animal. The mixture keeps its effectiveness for quite a long timeâ€" but farmers are remind- ed that O.NLY THE WET- TABLE POWDER EOR.MULA- TIO.N is suitable for use on farm animals. * * * How Protein Supplements can cut the cos'.s of hog feeding is dem- onstrated in a most conclusive man- ner by a letter sent out under the auspices of The Industrial and De- velopment Council of Canadian Meat Packers. In spite of higher prices prevail- ing for feed grains, some feeders (|ucstion the economic use of pro- tein supiileiiicnts in the hog ration. But it has been amply demonstrated by exiierimental stations and agri- cuhural colleges that when feed is ALL CANADA REMEMBERS DAD FATHERS DAY SUNDAY 'JUNE 20 highest in price, sudi protcii- sup- plements make tlieii most import- ant saving. Why this should be so is quite easily explained. The stomach of a pig is small. It can digest only limited quantities at a time. It would seem clear, therefore, that if we are to produce a 200-lb. hog in six months or less, we must put through the stomach of that animal a combination of foods which con- tain the elements for the growth desired. While it is true that cereal grains' contain all tliose elements, if proper bone and muscle development is to be expected in such a short period it necessitates the addition of extra proteins and minerals. .'\ comparison of the cost of feed- ing the two rations clearly shows the economy of such supplements. For example, using X)0 lbs. of grain at 3 cents, jdus 45 pounds of the supplement at 4 cents, 100 pounds of live weight gain on a hog costs $11.70. The cost of a straiglit grain ration, using 600 pounds of grain at 3 cents, would total $18.00 â€" a really worth-while saving. Even with supplement priced as high as 6 cents â€" and with grain as low as a cent and a half a poundâ€" the hgurcs show that pro- tein supplements should never be overlooked. Only by supplying, in their proper proportions, those ele- ments that arc in short supply in a straight grain ration can we expect to market hogs yielding bacon of the proper quali.y. type and lean finish so keenly (Icnianded by all our markets. ,5HonT5ro'^ striving For Class By AL ARSENAULT Jim Bishop flipped the coin at the newsboy and got the same reply he always got. "Thanks a lot, -Mister. You're sure looking good tonight. Must have had a good day at the office." A good day at tlie office! Jim reflected that it hac been a long time since it had been a good day al his office. He knew he was on the ropes, that the boss was only looking for a good excuse to fire him. Then he realized that this newsboy always had given him that same cheerful thank you every time he bought a paper at this spot. "Hey, son. What are you always so cheerful about-" "Why not be cheefful. Mister?" the boy asked seriously. "Seems like things are going all right most of the time, and even when they aren't I know they'll be getting better in a day or so. Ever £:nce I got this corner, I've mostly had good days, so I figure I ought to be nice to the people that make them that way." "Why is this a good corner, son?" " 'Cause all you people coming out of these buildings mostly buy papers, and when you buy papers, I make money. But even if you didn't buy papers, I still like to look at all of you because you look like class. I want to be class some dry and come out of a building like that. That's cause enough to be cheerful, isn't it, jnst wanting to be class?" "I guess you're right, kid," said Jim. and walked on t^ the parking lot where he kept his car. On the way home he thought again of his own situation. Things hadn't been too good since the new supervisor took over. Jim had thought he was in line for that job. When he hadn't been promoted, it had hurt, had made him bitter about his job. Then he thought of the newsboy on the corner. Wonder if he was ever bitter. He couldn't be, though. Kot the way he always acted cheer- ful towards everybody. What did he have to be cheerful about? Just a youngster and selling papers on a corner. From the looks of his clothes, he wasn't from even a mid- dle class family. What was that he said, all the people that bought his papers look like class. He wants to be class himself omeday. "Just wanting to be class is enough to make you cheerful." When he got !ioinc. bis wife met him at the door. "Jim. it's good to see you. How did things go at the office today?" "lust so-so." '.< a i*s/'< f4 ?s.'v f ''â- â€¢â- / ii * "Again? Well, they'll improve. How did you get along; with the supervisor?" "Same as usual." The next night Jim stopped at the same corner to pick up his paper. A new boy was Miere. Jim ilipped the coin and the boy snapped oijt with, "Watch it, .Mister. I got'ai armful of papers here." "Where's the other boy?" Jim asked. "Aw, 1 don't know. He's got him- self anoth-er job, says he's getting class somewhere. He was a jerk anyway." "A jerk," thought Jim, "a boy that wanted class. He even thought I had class. He figured you could be ei'-erfu' because you wer" try- Ihe newsboy: "Why not be cheei :ul, Mister?" ing to get ahead. Now he's gone up another rung." As he opened the door when he got home, he noticed for the first time that his wife had a worrit ' look when she came to greet him. He looked at her anxious face. "Things went fine today, honey, just fine," he said firmly. "You know, I think that new supervisor is all right. Maybe he and I are going to get along. There's a new position coming up in the metropoli- tan department, and a recommen- dation from him would help me a lot towards getting it." "Jim. that's good news. I'm so happy dear. I knew you'd keep try- ing to get ahead." "It isn't getting ahead, darling,, it's trying to be classy. That's the thing that makes you cheerful, just wanting to be classy," am he. gijr- ned down at the startled eyes of his wile.
