If there are any whom it Members of the First Weston Boy Scout tn:a Frank Best, left, Don Laing, Gerry Stanley James Austin, were presented with proficiency The Canadian Bank of Commerce §0 THERE‘Ss LIKELY ONE NEAR You Every wife knows that making a dream house come true takes a lot of planning and a lot of saving. But two heads and two hearts together make sharing and planning a happy job. You may be saving for a new home, new furnishings or equipment. Whatever it is, as a woman do remember that the more you know about the banking services your Commerce branch has to offer, the fewer problems you will have in planning, paying, saving. And as you get to know the manager and his staff you will find how pleasant it is to deal there, how willing they are to help. *The Commerce® WESTON SCOUTS RECEIVE BADGES In spite of this request, several thousand farmers from all parts of Canada have completed their schedâ€" ules and sent them to Ottawa. In consequence, the Bureau has sent out a special request to all the weekly newspapers of Canada askâ€" ing them to remind their farm readers to keep the schedule until the census taker arrives to comâ€" plete the details and to pick it up. Forms that are mailed to Ottawa will just be mailed back to the sender, since they require compleâ€" tion on the spot by the enumerator to ensure complete census coverâ€" age. The farm schedule was sent out by the Dominion Bureau of Statisâ€" tics in advance in order to enable farmers to prepare their answers to the questions at their convenâ€" ience and thus save time when the census enumerator calls some time in June. An accompanying letter asked the farmers to complete the schedule so far as they could and have it on hand in readiness for the visit by the enumerator. They were particularly requested not to mail it to the Bureau of Statistics. has not reached, they may obtain a copy at their nearest post office. 15950 Range Shelters Are Solution To Housing Stock Ahp}ost always, in late summer or early autumn, there is a period when yearling stock has completed layingâ€"when quarters must be cleaned and disinfected for the new pullets being ‘brought in from range. Space, as well as time, is always at a premium at this season of the year. With several range shelters available the yearlings can be reâ€" moved to & nice piece of clover range where they can enjoy a rest and conditioning period prior to beâ€" ing culed and selected for the mating pens. They can be used to advantage in handling fattening stock and are particularly useful as temporâ€" ary autumn quarters for stock that, has just finished its pulletâ€" ye?\} of laying. Range shelters offer an opporâ€" tunity to expand the brooder house capacity of many small producers. Small Brooder Houses Commonly only one, or at most two, small brooder houses are in use on the average farm. These are used for rearing as well as for For those who do not wish to make the heavier investment inâ€" volved in the construction of a more permament type of rearing house the use of range shelters ofâ€" fers a very satisfactory solution for the raising of cockerels and growing pullets, says B. F. Tinney of the Experimental Station at Charlottetown, PEL Farmers Borrowed $63 Million Under Farm Improvements Loans 421,363 through 58,969 individual loans under the Farm Improveâ€" ment Loans Act during 1950. The act, which has been in operation six years, was recently extended by parliament for another three years from March 1, 1951, Over the six year period of operations $170,â€" 054,703 has been borrowed and the sum of $96,681,498 had been repaid at December 31, 1950, which is equivalent to 56.8 per cent of the total amount lent. Duting this period only 35 claims amounting to $19,660 were made under the govâ€" ernment guarantee. Farm Implements As in the previous five years, loans for the purchase of farm imâ€" plements and farm trucks repreâ€" sented the greatest volume of lendâ€" ing under the act during 1950 and amounted to $58,391,635. About 45 per cent of all tractors, 64 per cent of all combines and 50 per cent of all threshers purchased in Canâ€" ada last year were financed under the act. Farm Building Farm building loans amounted to $2%4 million for the year. Conâ€" struction of 511 new farm homes was done with assistance of loans amounting to $797,648, An amount of $754,835 was borrowed for the erection of 650 new farm buildings such as barns and sheds. In addiâ€" tioin 967 loans amounting to $849,â€" 826 were made during the year for the alteration and repair of farm homes and buildings. This includes the installation of plumbing sysâ€" tems and central heating equipâ€" ment.

ROSE Farms Becoming Electrified In Recent Years Life on the farmâ€"the backbone of the Canadian economyâ€"today differs in many respects from what it was in years gone by. The census of 1941 showed that the typical Canadian farm houseâ€" hold averaged 4.7 persons living in dwelling: with an average of 5.6 rooms, About twoâ€"thirds of these depended on pumps or other sources of water outside the home, and woodâ€"burning stoves provided the heat for 87 per cent and furâ€" naces for the remaining 13 per cent. Twenty per cent of farm dwellings were lighted by elecâ€" tricity, and the remainder mostly by kerosene. Refrigeration was reported by only 23 per cent of all Canadian farm homes in 1941. A considerâ€" able proportion of farms had private ice houses or springs in which food could be kept cool. Markc progress has been made in rural electrification since 1941. A gample survey in 1949 showed that electricity had reached 50 per cent of farm homes by that time. About threeâ€"fifths of farm houseâ€" holds had radios in 1941, but in 1948 the proportion was up to 90.5 per cent. Those with vacuum cleaners increased from 4.3 per cent in 1941 to 8.8 per cent in 1948. There were 257,409 telephones in use in rural areas in 1941, a figure which had risen to 383,227 by 1948. Automobiles were owned by 43.7 per cent of farm households in 1941, a considerably higher proâ€" portion than for urban households. Since the allâ€"Canada proportion of automobile owners has risen subâ€" stantially since 1941, it is reasonâ€" able to assume that there has been a marked rise in the number of automobiles owned by farmers over the period. The information compiled as a result of the 1951 census next June will provide a striking measure of progress in standards of comfort and conveniâ€" ence of life on the Canadian farm. brooding. If filled to capacity for the brooding season they are hopeâ€" lessly overcrowded later in the seaâ€" son. If only sufficient birds are brooded to permit carrying through to maturity the houses are not utilized to ful} capacity in early season. Range shelters offer & soâ€" lution to this problem. A single 10 x 12 brooder house with heater will rear three or four times as many chicks as it will house in the autumn. As rapidly as they become crowded, move them to cheap range shelters, thus savâ€" ing the cost of additional expenâ€" sive brooders and stoves. Excellent detailed plans for shelters are available from the Superintendent, Experimental Staâ€" tion, Charlottetown, PEI Loans numbering 1,805 and totalâ€" ling $1,483,474 were made for the purchase of livestock. Most of these were made to operators of small farms purchasing milch cows and registered breeding stock. Clearing Land Purchase of Livestock Since the inception of the act in 1945, 6,864 loans have been made to the amount of $2,833,180 for clearing and breaking new land for cultivation, The majority of these loans were concentrated in the northern sections of Alberta and Saskatchewan where settlers are developing new agricultural areas. The lending by provinces in 1950 was: British Columbia, 1,693 loans, $1,709,994; Alberta, 17,161 loans, $18,508,716; Saskatchewan, 20,090 loans, $22,557,445; Manitoba, 7,â€" 712 loans, $8,263,981; Ontario, 7,â€" 914 loans, $8,043,838; Quebec, 3,â€" 003 loans, $3,097,204; New Brunsâ€" wick, 348 loan, $358,755; Nova Scotia, 340 loans, $274,040; Prince Edward Island, 706 loans, $605,518; Newfoundland, 2 loans, $966. Loans under FILA are made for a variety of purposes around the farm and may be obtained for varying periods depending upon the amount borrowed and the purâ€" pose for which the loan was obâ€" tained. The maximum of an inâ€" dividual loan is $3,000 and it is tepaid at five per centsimple inâ€" terest, All _ FILA loans are made through the chartered banks of Canada. Any farmer interested in borrowing under the act should talk the matter over with his local bank manager, Telephones, Radios And Refrigerators Being Added To Farm Scene As most people know the BBC employs "scouts" who inquire among the public what items are popular and so forth.
