SMALL BARLEY FACTS Only now witli 'liuge quantities available at very attractive prices are farmers: beginning to give anything like adequate consideration: to the feed value of barley for all classes of livestock. Chemical analyses sup- plied by the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa show that in total digestible nutrients barley is practi- cally the equal of wheat and is only excelled by corn by a little over five per cent. For all practical purpose it can with the use of proper supple- ments in the ration take the place of corn in livestock feeding. Here are some notes .of interest about barley: 1. Barley is a Canadian grown pro- duct relatively cheaper than ime orted corn, t is now readily available at comparatively low prices. . In total digestible nutrients, it is excelled only by wheat and corn. Barley lacks slightly «in palat ability as compared with corn and is best fed in conjunction with other grains. 5.

In the years between, two others, Earl Grey in 1904, and the Duke of Devy- onshire in the grim war year of 1916, have made Hanfax their port of en- try to Canada as Governors General, Neither of the two more recent ar- rivals was attended in the same de- gree with the pomp and circumstance that marked the welcome to Lorne and the young Princess - Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria. Their pasage acruss on the steamer Sarma- tian was a stormy one, during which the Princess suffered much from sea sickness, Airiving off Halifax on the night of Saturday, November 23, aft- er a ten-day crossing it was taken for granted the ship would not enter port until morning, The Acadian Record- er of Monday states "that six ships of the line started out to meet her, but the weather was so objectionable it was decided to return to port." That evening, however, the Citadel signalled the Earmatian was ap- proaching the harbor, and the tug A. C. Whitney was sent down to assist her, The Whitney almost at once reported the Sarmatian could not be found, but at nine o'clock. the guns began to announce her approach, A stern voice from the Sarmatian's bridge made it clear that only the mail officers would be allowed on board, but the order was too late to dampen the ardor of the newspapér- men, They were already aboard, talkink to Major De Winton, the Marquis' private secretary. i All day Sunday the Sarmatian lay in the stream, as south end streets were thronged with spectators from far and near, The Sunday trains were jammed with sight-seers who made for the shore to view the ves- sel carrying the vice-regal party. "There were some less idolatrous," | the Recorder remarks, "who were cynical enough to suggest it was very likely the princess was at that mo- ment sitting in the drawing room of the admiralty House, There is such a vast difference between a landing and an official landing.

REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON PRESBYTERIANG HEAR OF PROGRESS ~ SUNDAY SCHOOL Over 200 New Schools in Presbyterian Church in Five Years That the number of Sunday Schools in the Presbyterian Church in Canada had increased from 854 to over eleven hundred in five years, and that in this department of church work wonderful progress was being made, was the cheering message brought to the congrega- tion of St. Andrew's Freshyterian Church on Sunday morning, by the Rev. Dr. Kannawin, chief ex- ecutive of the Sunday School De- partment. Dr. Kannawin declar- ed that in the past few years he had visited over 400 'churches and found Sunday Schools thriving everywhere. Taking for his text, "And Jesus Called a little child and set him in the midst," Dr. Xannawin stressed the fact that the Presby- terian Church was a teaching church and must hegin with the children. The chill must he set in the midst and o start must be made in the home during the years from one to four if the boys ani girls of today are to become good future 'eitizens and workers in and supporters of the church. L'r, Kan: nawin opined that Canada's great- est need today was a revival of The family altar which in many homes had fallen down, needed to be re-crected. There was also an urgent need for the revival of. the family church pew, a place where the parents and their children would constantly be found. The future cf the church depended upon the training of the boys and girls of today. The phy- gical ailments of the child receive ed very careful attention in carly years, but to the discredit of many parents the spiritual requirements were neglected because there was no religion in the home. Dr. Kannawin traced the early history of the Sunday School as an institution, which had its incep- tion 150 years ago in England ard in four years had a membership 'of 250,000. It wad a far cry from that day, and today all over the land Sunday Schools ware carrying on under capable teachers, the work of leading the little feet along the right path. The Sunday School * vas the cradle of the church, and as such was worthy of the support of every member. In closing Dr. Kanpawin had a word of encouragement {i the teachers, He congratulated them on the work they were doing, aud stressed its spiritual vawe, Teas chers had the power in their handy to mould young lives for the fue ture. It was a God-given task, The preacher appealed for workers in the Sunady School, stating that there was something wrong when a Sunday School superintendent had to tell his minister that he was 'unable to get teachers for his school. Dr. Kannawin gave a special ade dress to the Sunday School chile dren at an open session in rhe afe ternoon and at the evening sere vice in the church his sermon was for the special benefit of young people.* To the youth of today, Le declaredy came the challenge of the church and of the nation for Christian leadership. It was announced at both sere vices that next Sunday morning, two new elders, Douglas Thowmp= son and James Mowat, would be formally inducted by the session. HIGHWAY TRAFFIC HEAVY ON SUNDAY Highways Are Now Clear of Ice--New Safety Meas- ures Welcomed Traffic officer Sidney Hilliard reported Sunday night that the traffic on the highway over the week-end, particularly on Sunday, was the heaviest it has been for months, . The weather was ideal for driving, and many cars were taken from their winter resting places, decked out with a new 1921 license and trotted out for an early spring airing. No aeci- dents were reported to Mr. Hil liard during the day, The Kingston and Whitby-Lind- say highways arc now practically clear of ice, hut the roads on the: county road system are not very passable as yet. A few more days of mild weather will work won- ders, and then the road superin- tendent will have to issue his an~ nual warning to truck drivers re- garding road destruction with heavy loads. The indications are that traffic this spring and summer will break all records, and it is reported that the Highways Department is plan- ning special measures to take care of it. The announcement that the Legislature at this session may be asked to amend the Highway Traf- fic Act, limiting the hours of work of truck drivers, is welcomed by motorists generally, and by the drivers themselves, as it is well known that many accidents are due to the fact that drivers are in need of sleep.
