Grain Show Postponed Owing to general conditions in Western Canada, the world .~: grain exhibition, which was to have been held in Regina in 1.032. has been postponed until 1933. The decision was announced by Hon. Robt. Weir, chairman of the committee, only after mature deliberation had been given every angle of the situation. Mon.- than two score countries had prom- ised to take part in the show, for which plans had been started two years ago. Exhibits of all varieties of grain had been promised from many European countries, from Asiatic countres, Australia and New Zealand, the United States and all provinces of Canada. A prolic Apple Tree An apple tree that will give 24 _barrels of rst-class apples this year ` IS the pride of Kenneth Cameron, of ' Lucknow, who has one of the finest orchards in Western Ontario. It is a Spy tree and Mr. Cameron s per- sonal favorite in his 300-t1'ee orchard. In the past 13 years it has produced 193 barrels of saleable apples and is to-day a splendid, healthy specimen of the Spy variety. Mr. Cameron, one A of the most ardent orchardists in" Western Ontario, sprays his trees ve times a year, and cuts the grass in the orchard for a mulch. He uses more than 1,500 props to hold up the limbs of his prot-making trees, and nds his markets chiefly in Montreal and in later years to some extent in the British Isles. His orchard contains Baldwins, Spies, Ben Davis. Manns, Wolf Rivers and Russets. R. O. P. Poultry \\'iL}` over two months to go, en- tries in Record of Performance for poultry are reported by R. W.

Buy Clover Seed Now Farmers anticipating the purchase of clover and alfalfa seeds, would be well advised to do so now. The situ- ' aton is that there are many Ontario growers who are in need of ready cash, and who will accept sacrlce prices. Obviously, then, this would ' seem to be the time to buy clover seed, rather than wait till spring when prices may be considerably higher. In the purchase and sale of small seeds, the Dominion Seed Act requires that such seeds must be sold by grade. The Dominion Seed Brancl . will examine samples free of charge.

ACCEIDENTAL DEATH HOW C0-OPERATIVE FARWNG WORKS IN DEMARK The largest meeting place in every community should be lled for such lectures on co-operative farm enter- prise in Denmark as was given last week at the Kettleby United Church I by Dr. Donald Solandt, assistant manager of the United Church pub- lications. Dr. Solandt is a former Presbyterian, once a school teacher, who feels the urgent need for a re- creation of Canadian rural life. He travelled through Denmark, learning at first hand what has wrought vast _ changes there. Upnnanrlc is now the foremost cntnes, wmcn snoum oe m me Ilauus of A. P. Westervelt, Manager of the Fair, Toror_xto, by Nov. 6th. `L was of an egg. was printed across 1ts certain gures at changes there.

He reported it to his grocer the wholesaler, who told the importer, who sent word to Denmark, and the news reached the farm, where the I farmer went to the yard, singled out : a bird and said, in sorrow, You laid a bad egg. The Iinttlnhv crowd learned how grocer informed the , bad egg." The Kettleby crowd learned Canadian bacon was ousted from its high place in the British market by Danish bacon, which sells over there at from two to four cents a pound more than even the best English bacon brings. He bore out what Sir Joseph Flavelle told the Newmarket confer- ence, that whereas, when he was pro- moting the sale of Canadian bacon in England, Danish hog killings were , 5,000 a week (and then thought high) they have risen to 130,000.

You Ever top To Think If Sent away to Distant Merchants --Just what a ten dollar bill which a farmer spends in his home toV\"rT may accomplish ? Let us follow it around. Probably the dry goods merchant gets it first. He passes it on to the hardware merchant in payment of an account. The hardware merchant pays it in wages to one of his employees. This employee pays it to his landlady, who pays a grocery bill with it. The grocer can then pay his butcher. The butcher passes this on to his produce mer- chant, and this produce merchant, buying largely from the farmer, passes this ten dollars back to the farmer, from whom it originally came. Thus it has, in its ramblings among the home town people, served many useful purposes and yet it is still in the community to again serve. `When in Need of Printing -That ten dollar bill is gone for good. It may serve to build up the large city elsewhere. But so far as fhe home community is con- cerned its usefulness is at an end. and the community has been drained of just that much working capital.
