registered egg grading stations as instituted under the recently adopted amendments to the egg grading regu latlons the marketing of eggs in can ada enters a new and fmprojted phase eggs in future will be graded and packed according to canadian stan clards in registered grading stations only these stations must comply with cer tain standards as to grading facilities qualification of graders and sultabll ity of the premises lor the proper candling of eggs ijach case ot eggs must be identified by the registration number of the station provision is made for producers to grade their own eggs and to market them either in wholesale or retail channels or di rect to the consumer a feature of registered egg grading stations is the requirement that they be operated in reasonably cool premis es many producers in the past reali zing the importance of cool tempera tures in preserving egg quality have cooled eggs on their farms only to find the eggs handled in warm temp eratures in the premises of the middle man operators of registered egg gra ding stations are asked to maintain a temperature on their premises at a point not higher than 67 degress fahr enheit there are other advantages of these stations lnder the old scheme opln ion was sometimes expressed that gra ding was done by persons not properly equipped or qualified under the new system with qualified and properly e quipped graders being responsible for all the grading of eggs for sale in canada many of the difficulties ex petienced by producers will be obvia ted another benefit will be that i more uniformly graded and packed product will be placed on the market in the past the marketing of a certain quantity of improperly graded eggs particularly in the larger terminal markets has had an actively adverse effect on prices improperly gradeo eggs offered on those markets have sold at discounts and the lower prices established by the discounts have of ten tended to become the market price thus lowering the entire market basis the quantity of improperly graded eggs on terminal markets will become progressively less as the principle o registered egg grading stations becomes gradually established and the entire market structure will benefit as a re suit with a large surplus of wheat in sto rage in the dominion canadian far men realnte that other crops- must re place a part of their wheat acreage flax is one of these other crops rec ognizing that an expansion of the flaxseed acreage in western canada was desirable the dominion depart ment of agriculture made appropriate arrangements shortly afjer the out break of war the national barley committee was enlarged under the new national barley and linseed committee to carry on a pro gram to revive interest in flaxseed and to assist the farmers with their flax growing problems a war time series pamphlet entitled flaxseed was is suea by the agricultural supplies board together with 2 000 posters dis tributea throughout western canada emphasizing the importance of flax seed to canada s war effort the key note of the campaign being that can ada needed another million bushels of flaxseed to supply her home consump tion for the past number 01 years can ada has been farced to import annual ly nearly a million bushels of flaxseed mainly from the argentine canadian flax is as good as any from the argen tine and further it is of importance that western canada should be in a position to supply all if canada s do mestic flax needs in order to conserve foreign exchange for the purchases canada has to make abroad in answe to the government s call the farmers of western canada re sponded by increasing their acreage seeded to flax in 1b40 to 372 700 as compared with 297 500 acres in 1939 the consequent increased yield of 1 7 bjshels per acre brought production up to 3240 000 bushels in 1940 as ag atnst 2 075 000 bushels in 1939 there are definite limits to the amount flax that can be produced in canada without creating a s irplus but it is conservatively estimated that a crop of 400 000 bushels of flax would find a ready market the agricultural sup plies board bulletin on flaxseed deals with the advantages of flaxseed pro duction

conjunction with a book review in the detroit times as mr runyon is in a class by himself when it comes to writing we are not going to attempt to rehash his article but print it as written we were struck by the truth which ilea behind his humorous sarcasm it is only some so odd years ago that this nation was highly scandalized by plural marriage or polygamy as prac tioed by the mormons ot utah the situation of mormon gentlemen living with a number of wives simultaneous ly had the good ladles and many of the good gentlemen of other sections of the country by the ears xt called for congressional action and prosecution as well as extreme perse cution of the participants in wholesale marriage when the marriages ran con current the practice was finally wip ed out which was undoubtedly all for the best especially as our civilization was evolving the much more conven lent system now in vogue this permits a gentleman to marry two three fourjive or even six or seven times as he may elect though of course he cannot occupy the office of husband to all his wives at the same time each matrimonial incident must be a separate and distinct transaction teh gentleman must dismiss one wife by legal processes before he takes on another with each succeeding mar rlage cancelling the responsibilities of the last if he employs a good sure footed lawyer thus when he chalks off one wife and marries again he can tell the first wife to go chase herself if she comes around beseeching his attention even though she may appear with an arm load of his offspring the samp privilege of dirfuse matrl mony is given the ladies and many of them avail themselves of it with great enthusiasm hence in certain circles we find ao many children of the same name but with mammas of different monickers that it is really most confusing though strlctlj mora that gives what mem to be an autti i entlo insight into thelvea of the mem bers of plural household with any de gree of understanding and sympathy she says she thinks she would de tract from the achlevememta of her people if she painted them with too white a brush and so she has made her picture real and human and mov ing her scene is dixie mission an out post in the utah desert where brig- ham young sent a small band of his followers to grow cotton and where they suffered the most incredible hardships in their struggle against the soil and the idiosyncrasies of a craxy river the women worked and bore their children under pitifully primitive con- idtlons and the children died like flies from a plague the author seems to have dug into every known authority on these mar- mon pioneers in the two years spent on her novel which la a hough- tonjmuflin literary fellowship produc tlon and has drawn upon the reoouec tion of numerous mormon pioneers be tween 75 and 100 years old we imagine that it is from these that she got her intimate little tou ches of a life she makes as real as if she had lived it herself her depict ion of brlgham young as a human be ing especially as contrasted to a rec ent movie is magnificent she gives him the humorous philos ophy that is said to have been one of his great characteristics nearly all the people in her story have humor lacking which as she says ttty could not have survived ross oerow win be directing bay it with music on tuesday jaw ary 28 at s- tun edst

perhaps be apparent to al oft married gentlemen when we state that when a mormon married a num ber of ladies he was stuck with them unto death divorce was not unknown among the early mormons but it was not com mon their idea in plural marriage was the propagation of children for zion and no matter how many wives i mormon took he usuallyfcept them all and often in the same household we gather from the giant joshua that this arrangement was productive of plenty of headaches from the ever loving morman husband what with the difficulties of providing for the ladles and the jealousies among them they did not always get along toge ther on those terms of amiability tha make for peace in the house bicker ine among wives was forbidden by the church authorities but you know female nature is
