Some have been secured locally and maxiy others at considerable ex- pense from other Ontario locali- ties.1 Rocks weighing from haîf a ton down to small Indian tools and weapons offer a profusion for stu- dy. Among them is a heavy me- teorite picked up near Barrie. An- other is a stone anchor used in an earlier age and most curious o! all i is a porous stone that floats on water. Scores o! petrified relics offer a study which may trace back to centuries in this country. Flat flagstones are used for the walks about the enclosure. At the foot o! the lawn are the rock gardens in which untouch- ed by frost, still bloom a p9ofus- ion o!fiowers. There are vani- colored 'mums, marigolds, zinnias, scarlet coxcombs and many other varieties including the clinging hen-and-chicken clusters in the interstices o! the rocks. The whole aspect is one o! brilliant summer freshness relieved with bordering hedges, foliage trees and taîl pyr- amid cedars. Nestling in a corner Is a gold- fish pond on whîch float broad water lily leaves and pitcher plants. The colored blooms are over for the season but the gold fish stîli cavort in the cool water. They corne up to be petted and fed from hand when MVr. Bagnel calls them by a pat on the water. In the nearby flowers bees still gather nectar. It is a panorama of nature in miniature. And cen- trally is a sun-dial shadowing ageless time among ageless rocks. Birds are not forgotten. On tal poles and in nooks are bird houses where families o! flickers, martins, wrens and other varie- ties annually brighten the pic- ture. Tin traps prevent squir- rels from climbing the poles. Food is put out for these feathered friends and bird baths in hollow- ed rocks offer accepted accom- modation. Rustic chairs and benches about the lawn provide resting places from which Mr. and Mrs. Bagneil and their friends re- new their faith in nature. And an Indiam totem pole grins ap- preciation also.

Conference Held in Denmaihk Accomplishes Much 1"The FAO Conference in Copen- hagen accomplished all that could be expected" commented H. H. Hannam, President o! the Canad- ian Federation o! Agriculture, on his return recently from Copen- hagen where he was a member o! the Canadian delegation at the second conference o! the food and agriculture organization o! the united nations. "The outstanding matter, o! course, was the proposal for a world food board placed before the opening session by the direc- tor-general, Sir John Boyd Orr. At the conclusion o! the confer- ence, the net resuit was the en- dorsation o! the general idea of the world food board with much more unanimity than had been anticipated at first. To give ef- fect to the decîsion, the confer- ence appointed a 16-man commis- sion to investigate Sir John's pro- posal and all other proposais which might be submitted, and then, in their report, recommend- what should be done and how. The commission is to meet at once in Washington, and Canada is one of the sixteen nations represented on the commission. The commis- sion will sit continuously until their task is finished, when an- other conference o! FAO will be called to consider the recommend- ations made. "The orderly and stabilized world marketing program assoc- iated with the idea o! a world food board is one which would extend into the international f ield a very substantial measure o! the agnicultural program al- ready in effect and !unctioning Î airly successfully within Canada. Iis the type o! program that is almost entirely in line with the fundamental policies o! the Can- adian Federation o! Agriculture. Commenting on conditions in Denmark, and in Britain, Mr. Hrannam said: "Undoubtedly Dan- ish agriculture is highly product- ive, very efficient, and practically completely organized on a co- operative basis. However, land units are small, values high, and as a consequence it is difficuit to see how costs o! production can be substantially lower than those o! efficient producers jr Canada. For example their hog industry has expanded but not by any means rapidly, for Danish farm- ers are able as yet to obtain only one-sixth o! the feeding stuffs they formerly imported. Argen- tine corn, they declared, is too high in price to be purchased for economical production. Farmer after farmer told us they either were going out o! hog production or not expaniding while the pre- sent relationship o! costs and Business Directory LE G AL W. R. STRIKE, K.C.

This is an increase of 24 per cent. over the crop of 1945 which was smaller than average at 35,986,000 cwt., and is fine per cent. greater than the fivte-year 1939-43 average of 40,833,000 cwt. The increase over 1945 is due to substantially heavier average yields per acre and heavier plant- ings. The average production of the 1946 season is estimated at 86 cwt. per acre, compared with 71 cwt. in 1945. The acreage planted in 1946 is placed at 520,600 acres, while the 1945 acreage was 507,700 acres. The five-year aver- age planting was 521,700 acres. one of the "In the British Isles the con- tinuous rain since the beginning of harvest has brought tragedy of the first magnitude to the farmers and to the nation. In the later districts only about hall the.grain was cut when I lef t on September 27th, and the greater part o! the grainwhich was cut was standing in the stook badly weatherbeaten and deteriorating in quality. For these people this has been dis-. heartening and discouraging es- pecially since the crop had been much better than average, and since the cereal grains were s0 badly needed." CANADIAN SEEDS FOR EUROPE'S dROPS An extensive acreage of grasses, clovers and alfalfa in Britain and several countries of Europe this year were grown from seed sent from Canada. In the 12 months ended March 3lst, 1946, total shipments o! such seeds to Britain amnounted to 3,833,000 lb. To UNRRA went 2,108,000 lb.; Neth- erlands, 1,285,000 lb.

France took. 67,000 IL of alsike clover. Alfalfa and red clover exports to the United States amounted to 1,313,000 lb. The value of the total shipments of seeds o! grasses, clover and alfalfa was $3,899,863.

Statistics, quote a figure o! $75,28 as the average monthly wage rate with board, in Canada, as at August lSth o! this year..

Xext time you see a nêighbor, or feliows who works with you on your job, tel "He's a mighty lucky man-and so arn I." 1v yourseif: We ait are, here in Canada. Yet "lucky" isn't quite the word for a people who have the common sense and courage to look at the high prices of many unessentiai things and say: "This price is too high. 1 won't pay it." No, it isn't iuck. It's charaeter. It's what The House of Seagram has been proud to extol as a Canadian virtue-the ability of the Canadian people to be moderate in ai things-in their thinking, in their actions and in their habits. Nobody's just "lucky" here in Canada; we've just ail helped to make ourselves that way. And hecause today's moderation is the key to tomorrow's abundance, the people of Canada can look forward with certainty to an abundant tornorrow. ~AadtŽ e a fnzâ'n 3-aarl OUSE OF SEAGJI * M78 .0i THURSDAY, OCT. 24th, 1940 nnrv- qrATMMAu- 1ROWMANVILLE. ONTARIO Obituar MIS. LEVI ARNOTT There passed to rest on Oct. 3rd, 1946, one of Solina's highly respected residents, in the person o! Frances Ann McCullough, widow of Levi- Arnott, in her 82nd year. Born and raised in Manvers Township she was daughter o! Edith and George McCullough. Coming to Darlington forty-five years ago she made many !riends by her cheerful disposition and kindly manner. She was married to Levi Arnott, where they farmed one mile north o! Solina, later moving to the village. He pre- deceased her !orty-two years- ago. Although not taking an active part in church and community if e, she was always interested in them and contributed largely to every worthy cause. She had been in her usual good health until su!fering a heart attack two weeks previous to her death, and it came as a shock to her famîly and fri- ends when ýthey heard o! her sud- den passing. ,The funeral was .held from her home where she resided with her daughter, Mrs. Norval Wotten, on the farm at Solina, on Sunday, Oct. 6th. Although the funeral was private, it was largely at- tended by relatives and friends, who came to pay their respects to one who was a friend to ahl. The service was conducted by their !riend and paster, Rev. H. W. O'Brien, o! Bowmanville. Mr. Frank Walters o! Courtice sang the beautiful hymn, "Face to Face." The palîbearers were six nep- hews, Messrs Wilbert and Frank McCullough, Alvin Boyd, Norman Stinson, Bert Porter and Earl Argue. Among the many beautiful floral offerings were sprays !rom Eldad Bible Class and Solina Wo- men's Institute, Solina Football Club, The Home Dept. o! Eldad Church and The Neighbours; also many from relatives and friends. She leaves to mourn the loss o! a kind and loving mother and grandmother, her daughter, Mary, son-in-law, Norval Wotten, and two grandsons, Francis and Arnott Wotten. THE H
