The crop last-year amounted to more than $5 million pounds and was 45 per cent. greater than that of -1934. The tobacco growing industry in - this "country has made rapid strides over _ the past fifteen years, especially in Ontario, wheré 85 per cent. of the crop is produced. Other areas of pro- duction are located in Quebec and in 'British Columbia. The quality-of the-1935 crop is-re-| ported as excellent, "With an im- provement in general economic con- ditions and a closer co-operation be-- tween growers and purchasing com- panies in- the marketing and pro- duction of flue-cured and Burley * tobaccos, the price situation is much improved over 1933, particularly in Ontario," states the "Agricultural Situation and Outlook" for 1936.

'Robertson Lauds Principles of Mothercraft Society . TORONTO The tong of the Canadian Mofhereratt Socifty, branch of a parent society which has been reducing infant mortality since 1907, were upheld and strengthened by a recent address in Convocation Hall, Toronto, when Dr. Burton T. Simp- son,. of the State Institute for Mal- ignant Disease, Buffalo, declaved that breast feeding of infants was one of the safeguards against' can- cer. The Mothercraft Society goes further in its declaration of faith in breast feeding and .in its other na- tural health principles. The president of the Canadian Mrs. Robert- son, whose husband, the late Irving E. Robertson, of the Toronto Tele- gram, was the founder of the or- ganization of which his wife was the exponent, believe three generations can go a long way towards wiping out-cancer and kindred evils, "It has been proved that breast feeding reduces the danger of infec- tion to a minimum," declared Mrs. Robertson the other day, "and it is obviating the danger of. cancer, If public opinion and' funds were di- rected towards fundamentals--proper prenatal and postnatal cave--ef bab- | ies, stressing breast feeding, fresh air and sunshine, and an intelligent- ly simple diet, which would supply the growing needs of the body in natural form, the 'results would be phenomenal. And think of the huge sums now necessary for remedial nieasures which would become avail- able for education and constructive 'healthbuilding. In three geneératjons we could revolutionize" the human race." f One catches the spirit of the cru- 'sade, listening to Mrs. Robertson in the sunny advice rooms .of the Can- adian Mothercraft Society, at 112 College St., which from 'over 8,000 mcthers and babies last year.

A Sense of Hismor Mr. F. M. Dowsett, dh advertising executive, is a staunch. advocate of application of a sense of humor to 'everyday life. He maintains that if Canada's financial men would ex- ercise this characteristic they would effect a" standard-of living calculat- ed to make them laugh at their pre- vious existence. He proposes a sense of humor -typical of that employed by soldiers during the World War. Their spirit. kept thousands of men from collapsing, he states. ~*~ _ There is sound advice in Mr. Dowsett's suggestion. A sense of humor enables one to win or lose graciously; it is especially useful in the lives of politicians. The man who can "hand it out" and yet ab- sorb return sallies-in good form will stand 'the gaff much longer than a thin-skined fellow.

MeCready Sdn be in on de goo Bh de Sb oS 8 = Editor's Note: This is the coneli- | sion of a series of ten articles which were published recently in the Harri. ston: "Review." While written special- ly for the "Review" and addressed to 8 régidents of Minto "Township particu- larly, we believe they. hive been found Interesting to many of the readers of this paper because the problems of the farm folk 'of Minto Township are people: throughout the province. (Continued From Last Week) From such thorough-going stock takings, ® Reconstruction Policy should gradually emerge and take form. What it might be or should be for Minto who dare say? In ry fool- -haydinesq | make bold to Sug- gest that one'of the first needs is a Minto Folk School for fs grown-up men. ~ The farm women of Minto Township have splendid facilities for self-education in the three Women's Institutes. The farm men need some- thing similar to unite them. All over Ontario, farm women are better edu- cated than farm men. 'I'nere usen to be the Farmer's Institutes but they all have disappeared and noth- ing has taken their place. Minto farmers need a-school, not necessarily a building. But an organization ol} study clubs, or "lecture courses, or worth while recreation, It is a remarkable fact that the only outstanding champion for the back-concession farmer in the public life of Ontario to-day is a woman, Miss Agnes McPhail. And she came to this place from country school teaching, It is true' Premier Hep- burn speaks boldly as a farmers' culturist and so a-bit removed from the hard hit 100-acre farmer crushed with mortgage and taxes.

Farmers are the strongest is the World's greatest need. Timothy Seed Supply Is Plentiful The supply of timothy seed this year will far exceed the demand, consequently the price is-lower than it has_been for a long time and there is exceptional opportunity for farm- ers who require seed to purchase only the best quality. At the time of writing the, price of No. 1 seed in Montreal is $4.50 per hundred pountls, manded last season. There is seldom any serious doubt regarding the germination of timothy seed, but too much attention cannot weed seeds. If a farmer buys a horse which turng out to be: unsatisfactory for his purposes, he can dispose of it by some means, making the best of a .bad bargain, and forget about the in- cident. Unfortunately the same can: not be done-with a lot of seed for field crops which contains weeds seeds. If weed infested seed is once put 'into the ground it cannot be for- gotten as the weeds will be a contin- ual-reminder:---This = is particularly true if the weed seeds are from a perennial such as Ox-eye Daisy, This weed is mentioned because it is one of the weeds classed as Primary Nox- ious under the Seeds Act, and one which is very commonly found in tim- othy. The seed is difficult to remove during the process of cleaning and easily passed over when a sample is "| being examined for impurities. Over 20 per cent. of the samples from the 1934 crop which were analyzed in the Seed Laboratory at Ottawa contain- ed Ox-eye Daisy. In these samples the average number of. the seeds of this weed was 33.1 per ounce. Any lot of timothy seed containing this number qf. .Ox-eye-Daisy-would be re- jected as unfit for. seed under the Seeds Act. 7A simple calculation will show the number of Ox-eye Daisy seeds which -would be sown per acre if this seed vere used. Since timothy seed is plentiful and the price low this season every care should be taken in the purchase and only the cleanest seed should find its, way into the ground. The- Seed Branch of the Dominion Dogornent of Agriculture aims to encourage "the more general use of good seed by promoting the pro- "duction "of seeds of superior (quality in Canada.
