NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) of Canada‘s Telephones A report in the Bureau of Statistics shows the number 01 telephones in Canada at the end of 1927 to have been 1.259.987. included in 2,462 systems with 101.245 miles of pole- line and under- ground conduit and 2,591,035 miles of wire.

Cows are in good condition in Dundas County An Important Discovery Ontario farmers will probably be saved many thousanm of dollars by a discovery made by Dr. G. Stevenson, of O. A. 0.. stated the Hon. John S. Martin, to the agricultural committee of the legislature recently. Dr. Steven- son has found that a certain condition of pigs and sheep making them unfit for marketing has been caused by worms. This is an entirely new angle and an important discovery from the farmer’s standpoint. “The conditions are general across the province,” said Hon. M. Martin. “There have been large numbers or sheep and pigs: that were not fit for the market and the farmers did not know what was the matter with them. Dr. Stevenson has found that these animals are filled with worms. It not checked. this condition will. go right through the farm yards and affect the chickens. and other poultry and animals. Tests and exper- iments are being made to cure this condition of worms." soil is acid the plants cannot obtain the food from manure that they would it there were lime present to facilitate the action of the bacteria which form nitrates as these can work only when lime is present. Thus lime ensures the full effect of the manure. Lime and Manure Manure is the best fertilizer obtain- able, but manure alone will not bring iull returns to acid soil.

A tablet containing ten milligrams of iodine is recommended. in a pamphlet sent me by the Department of- National Health. It states the best metrod of vention measures being taken regarding goitre in Grey County. The first ex- periment in the way of an attempt to prevent goitre was made in 1916 in Akron, Ohio, by Doctors Kimball and Marine. They found that iodine given in tablet form to volunteer school children prevented the development of goitre in those who had not shown goitre in the beginning, and that the goitre disappeared in over sixty per cent of volunteers, who had goitre at first. In 1918 a similar work was begun in the school of Zurich, Switzerland, which was so successful that the Goitre Commission of Switzerland. recom- mended iodine for goitre prevention throughout the entire country. I can- not see why we could not do the same with the advice and under the super- vision of the medical health oflicer. The consent of the parents of the children must be obtained. The Debate gave me the opportunity of ppinting out the great need of pre- A resolution introduced by H. E. Spencer, Battle River, requested the Government to take into consideration the advisability of making grants to the provinces equal to one third of the cost of establishing and to cover per- manently such full ,time Health Units as may be organized. An enlightening debate followed. Many doctors made valuable contributions. Dr. Howden of Manitoba stated that at the beginning of this century, the death rate in Can- ada per thousand, was 19 in the cities and 15.2 in the country. In 1920 the gurban death-rate had fallen to 13 per thousand, while the rural rate had “fallen to 14. Health Boards. Health Inspectors, health Regulations, and proper supervision in the cities, was given as the reason for the lower death .rate in cities. Health Units have been established in the Provinces of Quebec and British Columbia. and the results are said to be very good. A Health Unit was established in Quebec about three years ago. During 1926 there was 643 deaths from general causes in the district served by it. Last year the figure had dropped to 487, a saving of 156 lives. Infantile mortality drop- ped from 213 to 160-; deaths from tuber- culosis from 56 to 51; and deaths from ‘ contageous from 66 to 27. The Unit‘ usually comprises about six municipal- ities and is staffed by a medical doctor. a public health nurse. a sanitary ins- pector and a secretary. Preventative medicine is more and more being ac- cepted as having first rate importance, and the responsibility of the state re- garding the health of the people is more and more being acknowledgel. J Several members spoke in terms of the warmest praise bf the travelling clinic in Alberta, the clinic is financed by the Provincial Government. The Prime Minister has introduced his bill to amend the Export Act. It is a simple measure prohibiting clear- ances being given to vessels having on board intoxicating liquor, destined for delivery in any country into which the importation of such liquor is prohibit- ed by law. It is sweeping in effect, cov- ering liquor now held by bonding ware- houses as well as by distilleries and breweries. We can guess that Mr. King had no easy task when he undertook to persuade his party to allow the bill to be introduced. The fate of it is still to be revealed, yet already every Cana- dian holds up a proud head secure in the belief that we will not much longer continue to be international bootleg- gerc. Miss Macphail’s Letter Ottawa, March 10, 1930‘ ’l‘HE DURHAM CHRONICLE Mr. Irvine of Wetaskiwin moved that the resolution be sent to the committee on International Affairs, to which the House agreed. Oddly enough, when Cadet training is being discussed not a word is said While Mr. Bennett agreed with Mr. :Lapoint and. Mr. King that my pro- ‘posal would cause intervention in the Provincial field by the Dominion Gov- ernment he spoke very warmly in favor of education for peace: “Educa- tion is the basis of progress towards peace. and without education there can be no lasting peace. Education. how- ever. is not the education or a few people but the education of all the people of the state, and every step ta- ken in that direction is a step toward enlightened public opinion and to that extent is educational in force and et- eca” Mr. Tommy Church of Toronto heaped abuse upon the idea expressed in the Resolution. upon the League of Nations and indeed on all the steps that have been taken to bring about the peace of the world. The Prime Minister made a very happy speech. but opposed the resolu- tion. But he opposed the resolhtion on the ground that it would be interfering with education, which was under Provincial control.
