Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 10th, 1927 84 EGGS IN 95 DAYS Eighty-four eggs in ninety-five days were laid by our Pullet, leg band No. D50777, from Nov. 2Gth to Feb. 28th, inclusive. This is one example of consistent laying by CLOVERLEAF Leghorns. We give the following nine reasons why CLOVERLEAF Leghorns give the largest net returns: -- 1. Their eggs are as large as any of the heav breeds, and larger than most of them. 2. CLOVERLEAF pullets mature more rapidly than the heavy breeds, costing less to bring into laying and have a longer laying year. 3. CLOVERLEAF Leghorns can he housed in large flocks with excellent results. , 4. The number of CLOVERLEAF Leghorns that become breedy Is very small. 5. One-third more Leghorns can be housed in a given space than the larger breeds, and require one-third less feed.__ . 6. Many argue that the heavy breed is more profitable because of the value of meat. We claim we could afford to throw our birds away at the end of their period of usefulness and then be ahead of the heavy ' 7. CLOVERLEAF cockerels develop into 2!b broilers more quickly and on less feed than the heavy breed. 8. Cold weather retards all breeds. CLOVERLEAF Leghorns have recuperative powers that bring them back to former production more quickly than the heavy breeds. 9. CLOVERLEAF eggs have a higher fertility and hatch a higher percentage of chicks than heavy breeds. Baby Chicks, Hatching Eggs, and Eight to Ten Weeks Old Pullets are splendid means of securing a high-producing flock from these consistent layers.

Sold m Colborne by COMPENSATION COSTS There were 5,231 accidents reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board in Ontario in February according to the figures given out by R. B. Morley, General Manager, Industrial Accident Prevention Associations. The total number reported in February exceeds by nearly 600 the figures for February of a year ago. The fatalities in February, 1927, were about the same as in the same month, 1926, being 27 and 26 respectively. The benefits, however, awarded during February, 1927, were less than the figures for 1926 by about $8,000. During the past month the total benefits awarded by the Compensation Board a-mounted to $485,376.71, of which $75,-994.10 was for medical aid. Mr. Morley referred to several serious accidents which had lately come to his attention, one being a fireman or. whom a large chunk of coal fell, injuring him so severely that death re-sult'ed. Another fatality was the result of a reservoir in a shipyard falling from a scaffold. Another serious injury was caused when a large lathe which was being moved fell over on one of the workers. A fourth accident involved the 'death of a laborer who was killed while assisting in di: mantling one portion of a plant. Many of the accidents which occur in dustry are not preventable by any mechanical means and Mr. Morley states tl^at this is one reason why the Acicdent Prevention Asnociations set up under the Compensation in this Province will continue to vote so ranch time and effort to the education of all ranks in industry. Reduction of the number of 1 ties of fruit and vegetables is the aim of the Canadian Horticultural Council and of several Provincial Associations. Nova Scotia has taken definite action to limit the varieties cf apples to about a dozen, which i in keenest demand on the British rr. ket. About thirty sorts are listed undesirable and the recommendation made that they be grafted out quickly as possible. Quebec has p< haps gone further in specialization on a few varieties than any other province. Selling directly to dealers or even to actual consumers in Montreal the growers have learned that Mcintosh and Fameuse bring about double the price of others. The result is seen in the large orchards set almost entirely with these two choice kinds. Ontario has a lengthy list which isJ now being reduced in the commercial plantings. Farm orchards are for the most part unprofitable for the reason that the trees are a mixture of early and late varieties, many of them inferior and only a few of the standard shipping sorts. The influence of tho Fruit Growers Associations and the nsricultural college is being eserteA^L^ to Eliminate the less desirable*" ana*""*-concentrate on those which the market demands. Those who intend to plant can save a great deal of monev by making a careful selection from the lists published in government reports. W. F. GRIFFIS "The Rexall Store" ONTARIO'S NEW WEED LAW The new weed law which is now before the Ontario Legislature is more stregthened than the old, especially in the matter of enforcement. It will be the duty of every municipal council to appoint at least one inspector to enforce the provisions of the Act and to fix the amount of remuneration for his services. In cases where it is thought advisable, the municipality may be divided into sections or divisions for tho carrying out the regu-ns, with an inspector for each division. Each inspector shall send to each ratepayer not later than June 15th in each year a circular letter stating the quirements of the act regarding the cutting of weeds. Tho Inspectors are to give notice in writing to the own-or occupants of any land where noxious weeds are growing, requiring him to cause them to be destroyed. Railway lands also come tinder the regulations, It being provided that notice shall be given to the station master of the company resident in the municipality requiring weeds to De In the case of vacant land In a town or village, notices may be given by advertisements in a daily or weekly newspaper. If owners refuse to destroy weeds after notice the inspector may enter upon the land and cause such weeds to be cut down, or he may lay information before any justice of the peace complaining of such neglect, and such owner shall incur the penalties, which not less than $20 or more than $50.

TYE ' Box 358 Planing and Saw Mill Phone 307w INSURANCE IN CANADA (Toronto Globe) ' It will come as a surprise to many people to learn that, per capita, Canada has the second largest amount of life insuarnce in force in the world. Dominion is second, of course, only to the United States. According figures published, the per capita erage for the United States is $556, and for Canada $428. New Zealand and Great Britain follow with $226 and $212, respectively, with South Africa second last with only $79. During the last quarter of a century the life insurance business of the world has advanced tremendously as an enlightened public has come to appreciate its benefits. On this side of the Atl atic it has been developed to the highest degree through a campaign of education and the employment of keen trained, intelligent salesmen. The ramifications of life insurance to-day and the manner in which it may be sted to meet the problems of bus-__.3S are many. It is this fact that Canadians have not been slow to appreciate and it probably accounts for the large amount of insurance in force. In this Canadians show their judgment and good sense.
