services. The possibilities of air routes around the Empire have been unmistakably demonâ€" strated as evidenced in the journeys of Sir Alan himself. The formation of aero clubs in England and Australia with the object of training flyers who eventually hope to own their own machines, indicates the hcnulnc‘ attention being devoted to travel by airship. *‘The fonnulun of similar clubs in Canada woulddomnchtofuhruddmhpml interest in -vhu?- in this country _ ._ Bublished every Thursday by David Bean ; Those who have been following the rapid development of this means of transportation will not be surprised at the predictions made by Sir Alan as the wonderful advancement made within recent years has convincingly deâ€" monstrated the possibilities of aerial travel and that the greatest development of the future will be in the air. While the airship will not supplant the‘ Atlantic liner, the freight nhuner‘ or the passenger train, it will supplement these An event of special interest during the past week was the visit to the Twinâ€"City of Sir Alan Cobham, the distinguished British flyer. He gave a fascinating and alluring picture of the future of aviation and thinks that the air development of the greatest importance during the next few years will be along lines of privâ€" ate flying. He predicts that in the near future, smail, privately owned, aeroplanes will be fn‘ general use. Increased recognition of the importance to the dairying industry of close attention to reâ€" sults secured from their animals and the weedâ€" ing out of the low producers, is evidenced in the gain in production and the growing disâ€" position to keep only high grade herds, not only in this county but throughout the province. By doing so the profits of the farmers are increasâ€" ed and the returns are more commensurate with the labor and expense involved in carryâ€" ing on farming operations. As to the profit to be derived from cow testing, Mr. Duncan cited the case of Haldiâ€" mand where the high herd produced an average per cow of 8,593 pounds of milk and 277.6 pounds of butter fat while the herd average was only 5,259 pounds of milk and 182.5 pounds of butter fat. The high cow produced 11,160 pounds of milk and 854.5 pounds of butter fat and the low cow 3,243 pounds of milk and 112.5 butter fatâ€"a tremendous spread. In Wentâ€" worth County returns from the best cow were higher by $169.90 than the returns from the poorest cow, Commenting on this, Mr. Duncan said: "If we were to take three farmers on one side of the road with ten cows of the first class, and three farmers on the other side of the road with ten cows of the second class, the farmers who had good cows would each receive $812 more money for their product than those posâ€", sessing the poorer cows." ‘"Testing takes the guesswork out of dairyâ€" ing by furnishing accurate figures to determine the value of each cow: it detects and eliminâ€" ates the unprofitable cows and saves the good ones." The cowâ€"testing work, formerly in the hands of the Federal Department of Agriculâ€" ture, was taken over by the Ontario Departâ€" ment in February, 1926. There are at the present time 13 active cowâ€"testing associations formed,under the Provincial policy, with 365 members and 3,591 cows under test. ‘"This is just a beginning," observed the speaker, "and I believe that the work will grow and develop just as fast as we can take care of it." During the past few years increased attenâ€" tion has been devoted to bringing up the anâ€" nual milk production. Speaking before the members of the Western Ontario Dairymen‘s Association the other day, R. S. Duncan, Direcâ€" tor of County Agricultural Representatives for Ontario, declared that it had been demonâ€" strated beyond any doubt that the imost praQ-‘ tical and feasible way to put the herd on a paying basis was through cow testing. Referrâ€"‘ ing to the matter he said: | i cate Tiptel 106 10 M aee °0 SURIB AJXCHCHCE &DG â€"4 aterâ€" ture for Ontario, speaking before the Eastern 160 have already signified their intention on beâ€" Ontario Dairymen‘s Association, emphasized half of these municipalities, to take the necesâ€" the fact that dairying is the bedrock of the sary steps to coâ€"operate in the celebration of whole agricultural industry and pointed out| this significant event.

[ A writer in the Canadian Red Cross Magaâ€" zine characterizes the tuberculosis germ as one of the most powerful enemies of the human race. It is pointed out that its force cannot be calculated in terms of weight or numbers but its power is known in hundreds of thousands of families throughout the world. The germ still lives and multiplies to fight mankind. ‘ ! Early action with a view to carrying out at least some of the recommendations of the royal commission should be taken in order that the provinces by the sea may be ensured a fair measure of prosperity. It would serve to hearten them and dispel the pessimism of the people of these provinces, many of whom have felt that they could not make satisfactory proâ€" gress in face of the handicaps under which‘ they are laboring. â€" | FIGHTING THE TUBERCULOSIS GERM | g _ _ _ The royal commission appointed to enâ€" quire into the grievances of the Maritime proâ€" vinces, recommends many measures of federal relief. These include increased provincial subâ€" sidies and lower freights. Among the interestâ€" ing suggestions made is that of _governmentâ€" assisted coking plants. The commission is of the opinion that the establishment of these plants would go far towards solving the coal problem in the maritime provinces. Under this plan it would be practicable to mine and bank coal in the winter for transport by water in the open season and thus provide regular winâ€" ter employment. The plan of the Dominion fuel board which the report adopts is to locate five plants in Ontario and two in Quebec. These plants would cost about $11,500,000. The suggestion of the Deputy Fire Marâ€" shall is worthy of serious thought and conâ€" sideration by the rural municipalities which naturally are interested in reducing fire losses to a minimum and in bringing insurance rates to lower levels. At the present time the great majority of the Ontario townships are unequipped with fireâ€"fighting apparatus of any sort although the Ontario Municipal Act has made provision for the issuing of debentures by townships to enâ€" able them to raise funds for the purpose. During the past few years the increase in the number of farm fires has given serious conâ€" cern. The losses sustained, it has been emâ€" phasized, are due in large measure to the genâ€" eral use of motor cars, tractors and gasoline engines with the resultant atornge of gasoline in wooden farm buildings. To meet the situaâ€" tion it has been suggested by the Deputy Proâ€" vincial Fire Marshall that farmers and the reâ€" residents of the smaller villages club together and buy a truck equipped with chemical tanks and pressure pump. The improved roads would operate to ensure a prompt response in case of fire if the truck were centrally located. . mmmawm&.m unforeseen circumstances prevent them from being present., * : f The councils of both Kitchener and Waterâ€" in the working out of the details of the proâ€" gram.
