Some progress in the shipping and handling of soft fruits is also reported, plums from the Burling- ton district having arrived in excellent shape and drawing good prices. Weekly Crop Report According to the weekly report of agricultural representatives, drought is assuming serious pr0portions in many parts of the province. Not only has the plowing been difficult, but in many sec- tions wells are going dry. Feed grain is plentiful in most sections and owing to the low prices prevailing the bulk will be fed to live stock. As a result feeder cattle are at a premium. Man- gels and turnips have in most parts of the province turned out successfully for the former and a failure of the lat- ter. Live stock generally seems to be shaping up well and farmers through- out the province have already com- menced their winter feeding. Many Middlesex farmers are now in the west contemplating the purchase of feeding cattle. The report is of a general tone for the entire province, conditions ap- parently being the same all over. born on Tien Mon San (Heavenly-eye Mountain) in the year 35 A.D.

What is a slogan? The dictionary tells us that it is a Gaelic word, the war cry or gathering cry of the old Highland clans. In our days. however. it has come to mean a sort of motto. “Strike while the iron is hot” or “Small profits and quick returns” are both examples of present-day slogans. At any rate, the management of the World’s Grain Ex- hibition and Conference offers a prize of $500 cash for the best slogan sugges- tion. The slogan shall not be more than ten words in length. There is no entry fee for the contest and it is open to the world. Not more than three suggestions are to be submitted by any one person and these must be written or typed plainly on one side of the paper. containing the contestant's name and address. and must reach the office on or before January 31. 1931.

Iron ore stands in the first rank with an an- nual output of 2,000,000 tons. Next comes zinc, 40,000 tons. and finally cop- per 20,000 tons. The most important mineral wealth of the country, however, is in phos- phates, the global production of this ore reaching 80,000 tons a year. The Department of Constantine contains possibly the largest phosphate mine in the world. This mine, known as the Djebel-onk (the onk’s mountain) is said to contain more than 1,000,000,000 tons of ore. Before 1830 Algeria did not know that such wealth existed but, thanks to the uninterrupted eflort so! its set- tlers, his land of poverty has now be- come a new country. This method is proving quite suc- cessful, as Algerian Mussuimans. slow- ly but surely, especially in the towns. are trying to bring into accord the laws of progress brought there by France with the tenets of their faith. to which, as is well known, they'are so deeply attached. In short, generally speaking, they endeavor to enter the great French family, within the narrow limits of the Koranic law. No doubt in the near future many of their medieval laws will be swept away from Algeria. One of the principal assets of Algeria is cereals, according to a writer in the Christian Science Monitor. At the present time 3 .,000000 hectares of land are covered with wheat, barley or oats, the total cr0p of which attains from 16..000000 to 20,,000000 quintals a year. On the other hand vineyards cover an area almost as wide. Potatoes should be mentioned also, producing 500,000 quintals a year early fruits and vegetables 300,000 quintals; dates 1,500,000 quintals; and olive oil 300,000 hectoliters. Owing to lack of local fuel resources, industry is as yet little developed in Algeria, with the exception of mines. It is necessary to go back to the re- mote history of the Roman power in Africa to parallel the French coloniza- tion which has taken place in Algeria. It is almost the same. yet with the exception that the legions of Caesar enforced obedience among the natives by awe only. while France endeavored to attract them by allowing their child- ren to share as much as possible in the benefits of modern civilization. They have founded flourishing towns and pretty villages, quite like those of France, with their town hall, municipal council and church. Through them Algiers has become one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Algeria has been long and rightly considered by writers as a second France. Indeed. since the conquest in 1830, which opened up that part of north Africa to civilization, and the anniversary of which is being cele- brated this year, intermarriages bet- ween all the Mediterranean peoplesâ€" Spaniards, Italians, French of the southern regions.

Fresh water, grit, and oyster shell should be kept where the birds can help themselves. A good mash can be made by a mix- ture of equal parts ground oats, barley meal, cornmeal and wheat bran. Ground buckwheat is also good and can be used instead of cornmeal or barley meal if necessary. To this mix- ture add about 10 per cent beef meal and 5 per cent ground charcoal. Mix thoroughly before moistening. Patten- ing mashes should be fed in a moist condition but only sufficient should be moistened for one feeding. It is a good practice to have the morning feed moistened the night before so that it will become thoroughly swollen before feeding. By adapting the practice of moistening mashes a few hours before feeding time many digestive disorders can be overcome. Water or sour skim- milk can be used for moistening the mash and at feeding time it should be fairly solid, not slonpy or watery. Feed an meshes if: ‘v shaped tr'oughs which should be thoroughly clean. Re- move any food'from the troughs. which may be left over after the birds have satisfied their appetltles. Whole corn which has been properly ripened is about the best grain for fattening purposes at this season of the year. It is palatable and the birds take kindly to it. New corn or corn which is not ripe should be fed spar- ingly. Give the birds only what they The feeds should consist both of mashes and whole grains. Feed mashes morning and mid-dav and whole grains in the evening. The birds can digest more food when it is fed in the form of mash but the feeding of whole grains in the evening will prevent them from becoming very hungry before morning as grains are assimilated much more slowly than mashes. Feeding should be started gradually. in fact the birds should be fed regular- ly twice daily from about the last of September. The birds should receive just what they will clean up nicely with two feedings daily, morning and early evening during the third week in No- vember. After that time feed three times daily until killing time. When the weather is cold the birds will not flesh as rapidly as earlier in the autumn. and at least five week's feeding 'will be necessary to get them ready for Christmas.

Birds ‘which have been on open range during the growing season should not be confined to pens during the fattening period. When properly fed they will take no more ex- ercise than is necessary for good diges- tion. whereas if they are confined in pens there is great danger of the birds going off their feed, deve10ping diges- tive disorders with accompanying loss of flesh, and quite frequently the loss of a number of the birds. 1113 should commence at least six weeks before Christmas. If the birds are very thm~even a longer period may be required to flesh them properly. PREPARING TURKEYS FOR THE CHRISTMAS TRADE (Experimental Farms Note) One of the mightiest irrigation schemes ever attempted is now progres- sing on the sun-scorched deserts of the 81nd, India, where at an expense of $69,000,000 British engineers are build- ing a series of canals and a barrage across the River Indus by which it is hoped eventually to turn 40,000,000 acres of desert land into fields of wav- ing grain. It is expected that the barrage, a mile across the Indus, will be completed in 1932. But it will be several years after that before the four great canals from the left bank of the Indus, and the three from the right bank will be com- pleted, together with the net work of the minor canals that will carry water to the remote sections of the desert vastnesses. Although the soil of the Sind desert is known to be extremely fertile, lack of sufficient rainfall hitherto has made it impossible to grow crops on the great area that will be touched by the present project. The birds should be thoroughly cool- ed before being packed for shipment. Packing may be done in barrels or boxes, the birds being arranged closely together so as to prevent moving in THE SIND DESERTS RECLAIMED BY IRRIGATION When the whole area has been re- claimed, populated and tapped by rail- of feathers, or in some cases the flight wing feathers and the main tail feath- e_rs may be left on. Plucking should be done just as soon after killing as pos- sible. The head and feet are left on. and the birds left undrawn.

In addition to this project. another reclamation scheme to be constructed in the Butlej valley will irrigate more than 5.000.000 acres. There is also a dam and canal being made in the Madras presidency which. it is estimated. will mean a yield of an additional 150.000 tons of rice annually to the food supply of the Cauvrey delta. Simultaneously the British Govern- ment is conducting extensive GXpen- ments to determine the best methods of increasing the crop yield in areas al- ready under cultivation. and through agricultural schools and by travelling agents is instructing the rural popula- tion on how to take advantage of these latest. discoveries in the science of get- ting more grain per acre. Some of the new types of rice re- cently introduced, it is claimed. yield over 450 pounds per acre. more than types formerly grown for centuries on the same land.
