Customers Buying Graded Poultry The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Con- sumer are buymng their poultry by grade rather than by the old pinch-and-poke system bhas creat- cd an urgent need on the Can- adian wbolesale market for Grade A birds. The situation is high- lighted by the current nin'e-cent spread between the wholesale price of Grade A milk-fed and Grade B poultry, according ta af- ficials of the Canada Department ai Agriculture. With grading o! poultry corn- paratively new an the retail mar- ket, the sale by grade bas resulted in an urgent eall to the farmer and paultryman ta produce more Grade A birds. Reports from the Montreal wbolesale market, for example, showed Grade A milk-fed chick- ens, five to six pounds, selling at 48 cents. and Grade B at 39 cents. Tbe price for Grade C was 27 cents, a spread of 21 cents be- tween Grade C and Grade A milk-fed. Three years ago, prices on the same market quoted Grade A milk-fed at 37'2I cents, Grade B milk-fed (a category since discon- tinued) at 3512 cents and Gradej B at 3 1 cents. Phone 774 Unhappy Enlng For AuthorM By Lewis Milligan *OWMANVILLE ,eTsEATO N COumrE To Live ipn London, Qntario British authars are flot very happy under a Socialist govern. rment. Even Bernard Shaw, wha had a great deal to,,do with the suppression af the capitalists, is not as good humored in his satire as of yore, and his wit bas lost its sparkle. This may bè due ta bis advanced age, but it may have something to do with the fact that he is himself a literary capitalist, and the chickens are coming home ta roost in bis own literary coop. As an author Mr. Shaw bas al- ways insisted an preserving for b imself the copyright of every- thîng he wrote, with a full share of the profits therefrom. An ex- ample of bis tenacity for these rights was recently shown in the publication of a photograph ai Mr. Shaw's mother wbich appear- ed in John o' London's Weekly. Beneath the picture was a repro- duction of a note i Mr. Shaw's handwriting giving special per- mission to tbat journal ta use the photograph, but adding *that it was copyright, and concluding, "I took it myself". J. B. Priestly, the novelist, who worked bard for the clection ai the Labor Government, bas also lost much of his former geniality, and he has been dubbed a "grumb- 1er" by his socialist friends. Much of his grumbling bas been about the lack of bacon and eggs for breakfast and the shortage of oth- er good foods, of which he is very fond. He bas got over this partly by securing a farm on the Isle o! Wight, and his latest book is en- tIitled "Delight". But he doies not like Socialism *when it enroaches upon his personal rights as an au- th or, and he has repeatedly com- plained about bureaucratic regu- lations and restrictions eenerally. The latest writer ta register a kick against the Socialist pricks is R. C. Sherrif!, the author a! the popular play af the First World War, "Journey's End". Mr. Sher- riff has a new play, "Home at Sev- en", which is having a long run in London, and he bas been offer- ed £10.000 by a Hollywood studio ta Write the script for a new mo- tion picture. This was a hand- some fee, but almost ail o! it would have to go ta the gaver .n- ment in super-tax, leaving the autbor with the mean amount oi £750O. Mr. Sherrif! made a sport- ing offer to the Treasury that he should keep £100 as a nominal fee for bis four months' work, and be allowed ta apply the rest ta the development o! a Roman site in Norfolk in which. be was keenly interested as an amateur archae- ologcist. The Treasury refused an the ground that it would "create a precedent". Mr. Sherrif! de- clined the Hollywood offer an.d de- cided to spend the four months working in bis gardien. It seems that Mr. Sherrifl is notI alone in adoptinjz this attitude ta- f ward the government's super-tax. 1 Referring ta the incident in bisa London Letter in Saturday night,p Peter Donoven says: "It is no- t, torious that there are quite a few i highly paid writers and play- s wrights who deliberately restrict fi their output and earnings, on the v ground that they are using up their s intellectual and artistic capitalV and getting little return on it". V So far as 1 am aware, Mr. Sher- h riff is flot a Socialist. But evene Socialist writers, althougb tbey h miay in theory be expased ta the c profit motive in industry. draw the line wben it cames ta taxing b away the profits fromn the prod- ucts o! their own industry.

For this reasan, after a few years, the collection is comprised of only those varieties that are "good pro- pagators" like Bingo or Corona. To help the arower to overcome this difficulty experiments have been carried on at the Horticul- tural Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, to study the effert of different pre-planting treat- ments. The most effective has proved to be the use of achemical called ethylene chiorobydrin, which bas the effect of breaking the dor- mancy of plant tissues. One tea- spoonful of a 40 per cent, solution of the chemnical was used to each pound of cormels (1 c.c. to each 75 grams). The small cormels were placed in a glass fruit sealer witb a disc of paper placed on top of tbem. A pad of cotton gauza was placed on the paper and the chemical dropped onto the gauze. The jar was then closed and left Glen Rae's Milk .. . Always ai Ifs Besi Glen Rae's milk is one food that's always at its best, every day of the year, winter and summer - and it's as good for oldsters as chlldren. Many over 50 have found it helpful as a mealtime beverage because it la easy to digest and does not interfere with sleep. Order Glen Rae's milk to- day.

At the end of this treatment the cormeIs were allow- ed to air for a wcek before plant- ing. Records were taken ane month aiter planting ta determine the number of cormels in each lot that had gcrminated. An average of ten varieties showcd that un- treated cormels had anly germin- ated 34.9 per cent. whilc treated cormels had germinated 86 per cent. The nearest competing treat- ment was soaking Uic cormels in warm water (100 degrees F.) for with a basebaîl team as tbey were crs", etc. r M sixteen hours. This germinated 66.2 per cent ai the cormels. This treatment should be of considerable assistance to com- mercial gladiolus growers as early and bigh rate ai germination nicans more corms ai salable size at harvest Urne.
