Encouragement for Boys The annual live stock Judging com- petition which will be held in con- nection with the Ridgetown fair, Oct. 11, 12 and 13 will have special attract- ions for junior farmers this year. The Kent County Live Stock Improvement Association have donated five head of live stock to the Ridgetown fair board for prizes in the judging competition. The stool: given away will be registered pure-bred live stock. In the beef cattle judging competit- we. visited a number of the fields.

A. Garner agricultural represent- ative of Kent, is secretary of the Live Stock Improvement Association and is supervising the judging com- petition. "It is difficult to foresee any real improvement in quality, while the man producing an inferior product is re- ceiving a price almost as high as the careful farmer, who takes pains to turn out a top grade article. The solut- ion. in my estimation lies with the buyers of farm products. I believe that when buyers will offer cash inducement to the farmer producing t0p quality, only then will a general improvement be effected. In other words, I am con- vinced that purchasing by grade is the ony answer to the question of im- proving the quality of farm products.” Ontario Packers’ Gesture Is Step In Right Direction "In the production of better quality products, the farmer requires the same incentive as those engaged in other lines of business, namely price,” said J A. Carroll, secretary, Ontario Mar- keting Board. “Many farmers take pride in their craft and invariably strive to pro- duce the best. A large number, how- ever. will change their methods only when shown that it pays to do so. "A definite step towards improve- ment of quality,” he continued, “was taken recently, when the Ontario meat packers agreed to co-Operate in grad- ing hogs on the rail. I am hoping that we may consider this as a forerunner of what we may expect in other farm products. "The most effective educational work for the improvement of quality is done, in my opinion. at the mar- ket-place. Handlers of farm products can do much toward improving qual- ity, if they will buy acording to grade. Ontario and the Grain Show i Ontario will be well represented at; the Word’s Grain Show in Regina; July 24 to August 5, 1933, stated Hon. Thos. L. Kennedy, Minister or Agri- culture, at a meeting of the Ontario Committee recently. He suggested that an active prOgram be carried on this tall and winter to acquaint all grain and seed growers of the opportunities of competing at the first World’s Grain Show and of assisting all exhibitors in transporting exhibits to Regina. Pros- pective exhibitors are advised to send 2 pound representative samples to the Field Husbandry Department, 0. A. C.- Guelph, where they will be carefully examined and suggestions made for their improvement. Later all exhibits successful. One hundred and fifty portation cost to the exhibitor from Guelph to Regina and return. Col. Kennedy further advised the Committee that Ontario should be rel)- resented in the Inter-college and Junior Grain Judging Cornpetition. Plans are being completed for holding the Grain Judging Competitions at several strate- gic points throughout the province. The winners in each regional compet- ition will in all probability be brought to Guelph and a final Provincial Seed Judging Competition will be held in which three young men will be select- ed to represent Ontario at the World's Grain Show Junior Judging Competit- ion. Every Junicr Farmer in Ontario who can comply with the rules will have an opportunity for winning for himself a trip to the greatest grain show ever held and at the same time an Opportunity of competing ,in a grain Judging competition that will ex- cell in immrtance the Live Stock Jud- ging Competitions at the Royal Win- ter Fair at Toronto and the Inter- national Live Stock Show at Chicago. Col. Kennedy emphasized the import- ance of the Junior phase of the show and pointed out that knowledge gain- ed in seed judging by every man enter- ing the preliminary competitions would justify many times over the cost of preparing and transporting a judging team to Regina The National Parke Service of the Interior, Ottawa, has just issued the regulations regarding the Migratory Birds for the current year.

In some of the Eastern United States says the Montreai Witness, 9. man may not cut a sapling on his own farm without leave from the authorities. Can a man not do what he will wioh‘his own? Not with trees. Even on his own purchased suburban property trees may grow up over his house till he cannot get light to read except from an electric bulb, and he may not interfere. That is only a question of appearances; it is recog- nized that a whole community has an interest in the appearance of the streets.
