Many coveted trophies and valuable cash prizes are being offered for competition. From the winners will be selected the teams to represent Ontario in the National contests at the Royal Winter Fair. It is interesting to recall that in 1934, teams from 24 Calf Clubs, 10 Swine Clubs, 17 Grain Clubs and 11 Potato Clubs competed for Provincial honours. In the National contest at the Royal Winter Fair, Ontario stood first in the Dairy Calf project, second in Swine, first in Grain, and second in Potatoes. During 1935 there were enrolled in the province, 5,746 boys and girls in 423 clubs. Club work is a definite project work for boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 20 and the principle embodied in the phrase, "Learn to do by doing" is carried out to the fullest extent. Arrangements are being made to hold a Club banquet on the evening of Nov. 7th at O.A.C., when Hon. Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture and Dr. Geo. I. Christie, President O.A.C., will be the speakers.

It would appear that there may be about eleven mililon pounds of seed available for commerce as against five million pounds in 1934, and an annual consumption in recent yearns of approximately seven million pounds. Owing to the surplus in sight, Canada is now for the first time in history on an export basis in respect to this seed. In the past years prices at Chicago plus freight and import charges were the basis of value in Canada, whereas this year, domestic prices may be based on Chicago quotations less freight and export charges. As a result of this changed situation prices are now very low. At this time last year timothy seed was selling in Canada at fifteen to twenty cents per pound as against three to four and a half cents per pound at the present time. Surplus production this year resulted from two main factors, i.e., the high prices of last year which stimulated production and the abnormally large hay crop which permitted farmers generally to leave fields for seed rather than cut for hay. Presentation to Miss Helen MacMurter A surprise party, comprising 75 neighbours and friends, was held at the home of Mr. Norris Herley, Friday evening, October 18th, 1935, when his niece, Miss Helen MacMurt-who has been living with him: for le time, was made the recipient of several presents, accompanied by appropriate addresses, on the eve of her departure for Brantford to be with her mother, Mrs. Morley Davidson. The following verses were read by iss Winnie Stickle: nneone has told us, Helen dear, You are going elsewhere to dwell, Far, far from here, we fear, we have come to say farewell, good neighbour you have ever been, Most sincere, loving and true, Trying to do that which would seem To be loyal, kind and true blue.

These small gifts to you are tendered By your friends most sincere and true. Trusting that we will be remembered :When we are far away from you. Signed on behalf of your neighbours and friends. At the conclusing of which Miss Grace Jones presented Mis3 MacMurter with a club bag, reciting the following verse: This club bag. Helen, we give to j To use, when on your trip you go, And if it proves useful to thee You do not know how pleased w be. | Next was presented a cabinet of ^writing paper and envelopes and a fountain pen by Miss Fern Stickle, twith the accompanying verses: [This box of paper, and envelopes too, Helen we present to you |And hope you'll use it to let us know Of your success where'er you go. This pen, dear friend, to you we give As soon far from us you will live; So use it often, old pal af mine, To write those friends you left behind.

Miss Helen expressed her appreciation and thanks for the kind expressions of friendship and accompanying tokens. All joined in singing "For She' Jolly Good Fellow," led by Mrs. Grace Sampson. Then followed a pleasant social time in music and dancing, and in departing, all wished Miss Helen every happiness in the future.

MULHALL SOIL DRIFT CONTROL While individual effort is usually very effective in controlling drifting, and every farmer should opt the best known control on his own farm, the most successful results will undoubtedly follow the adoption of community action. The 'importance of this community action will be readily understood from the fact that an area of unhindered, drifting soil usually expands very rapidly. Moving particles of soil are ilways brought to rest by collision with stationary soil particles, and in many cases the latter are, caused to jo^i in a general movement under the influence of high winds. The most carefully planned and ecuted control measures may be tirely ruined if the soil has to w stand the combined action of wind and drifting soil from adjoining protected areas. These facts show the] necessity for community maximum degree of success in the' control of soil drifting on any farm; primarily the concern of the individual farmer, his success may be.; r hampered by the action of his immediate neighbours. To pack bees away for winter without an adequate food supply is to court disaster, it is far better, says the Dominion Apiarist, to find living colonies with a surplus of food in the i spring than to discover them dead or depleted through starvation.

CANADIAN WOOL 'Sheep raising is an important pi of livestock production in all the provinces of Canada. Since 1913 a great deal of attention has been given to improving the quality of Canadian wool and the manner of it preparation for market. Piropogand; has been mainly directed to securing improvement in the preparation of fleece wool for market. Tub washing of wool and the washing of wool on the sheep have been discouraged. To-day practically all wool sold commercially in Canada is "in the grease"" and the fleeces are rolled and tied intact as they are shorn. Another important feature of the educational work is the emphasizing of the importance of keeping fleeces free from chaff and seeds. This entails better housing accommodation and greater care in feeding. Although there has been a great change in the quality of domestic wools there is room for further improvement. Salt, pepper, and sage or allspice are used for preserving and flavouring sausages made on the farm. Thirty pounds of sausage meat will require % lb of table salt, 2 ozs. of pepper, and 1 to 2 ozs. of sage if the sausage is for immediate ure, or 1% to 2 ozs. of allspice, instead of sage, for long keeping. These ingredients should be mixed dry and thoro-1 ughly incorporated with the sausage] meat. CASTLETON October 29th, 1935 Mr. and Mrs. Harry Day spent Sunday with his mother, Mrs. Joe. Day. Mr. E.

Members of ' hunting camps who have secured camp deer licenses could legally consume a doe or fawn in camp or in the case of a party of eight members who had two camp deer licenses, they could legally consume two does or fawns, though they would then, of course, be obliged to bring out only buck deer according to the number of licensed hunters in the party. ff ' % In the case of the use of dogs, those in favour of dogs frequently argued when the question was up for discussion from time to time that the dog was very essential in locating wounded deer and also in assisting the hun-j peat success The play was well ter to secure buck deer which is de-! £nded and the proceeds we sirable at any time and which has, tbrrty, dollars, now been made compulsory under the present Game and Fisheries Act.

The Oratorical Contest was held in the town hall on Tuesday evening, October 29th, 1935. Castleton again won the Fraser silver trophy. The winnig sipeaker was Evelyn Quinn.

As these provisions now stand there must be an organized party of four before the use of a dog is permitted--and in such case one dog only. Unlike the privilege which applies to the taking of two does or fawns, the use of two dogs is permitted to any party of five, six, seven or eight hunters. There must be nine or moire hunters in before the use of the maximum ber of three dogs permitted under the regulations would be allowed. The object of this is to prevent more than one or two dogs being allowed to run deer at one time by the party in whose possession they may be found. It is necessary that each dog so used for the hunting of deeir be licensed at a fee of $2.00.

In Canada there is another incentive. Canadians have an an advantage over some other coun- prevent the shooting of deer about to enter the water or after having left the water.

Standard Poultry Boxes ernment free from disease. In th 1 case of Government graded beef, l j step further has been taken. In ad- Hardwood of any kind is not suitable for standard dressed poultry | ^ boxes. According to the Canadian Standards, lumber used for making these boxes must be a sound, clear, dry quality of soft wood planed smooth on both sides free from knots, and square, straight-edge stock but not tounged or grooved. When boxes are made up, there are five essential points: (1) Each side and end must be in one piece and be square cut. (2 Tops and bottoms must be flush with and fit flush over both sides. (.3) An allowance must be made for a small space, of not more than a sixteenth of an inch, between the boards on top and bottom of the box to assist quick sharp freezing when placed"~rn storage. (4) The bottoms and tops should be in at least three pieces. (5) Wide boards should be used as outside boards in both tops and bottoms. The nails used should be only long enough and strong enough to give the necessary strength, that the weight of poultry contained in the box may be shipped in saf-In packing, strict observance should be paid to the allowance iation in weight in birds packed dition to the "Canada Approved" mark, there is a Government mark or brand cf quality in the form -of ribbon-like marks running lengthwise of A section of this mark appears on every individual cut, and thus the purchaser is assured of receiving the quality paid for. The red brand marks the best quality, entitled "Choice," and the second quality called "Good" is branded in blue. The gradual spread of this knowledge in one way accounts for the steady advance in the sales of Canadian branded beef. The total sales during the month of August 1935 amounted to 3,509,913 pounds, bringing the total for the eight months of the year to 27,823.692 pounds, or approximately 640,000 pounds more than in the corresponding period of 1934; 6,848,527 pounds more than in 1932, and 15,-960,028 pounds more than in 1931 when the system was initiated.
