bean adapted to northern ontario climate aa outstanding achievement in agriculture and one of great inter est to northern ontario is the de velopment of an early maturing navy bean in the kainy river district this new bean is adapted to more northern districts than those now recognized as the bean zone where the standard 120 to 130 day varieties are grown in that it re peatedly matures in from 80 to 90 days from date of planting the originator of this new early bean is a c gohn of kmo ont who came to the kainy kiver dis trict in hi23 from the province of saskatchewan mr gohn brought with him a sample of beans unrecog nized by the dominion seed branch at ottawa from which he had by carefully selecting for uniformity productiveness and earliness devel oped a variety that is most depend able awarded many prizes this new bean was under test for three seasons by the dominion seed branch and in february 1934 tho commissioner granted its license as a new variety to be known as golms rainy river thus showing that it originated in a diatiict far north of the standard bean zone apart from this new navy bean being extremely early it has already proved that it holds a high place in competition in 1933 it won a ma jor award at the regina worlds grain show it won the canadian championship at the 1931 toronto royal also defeated all the united state at the 1931 chicago international twice in succession it won the special at chicago this new variety has all the good features of those grown in the old bean zone together with thos- re quired for our northern zone among these features are earliness of ma turity uniformity of crop and sample productiveness chalk white color cooking quality unexcelled foliage pi elects pods from light frosts and maturing farther north in 1931 a most unfavorable sea son golms rainy river navy bean ripened in less than 90 days at gimli man 50 miles northwest of winnipeg and arrangements have been made with hudson bay co to distribute this bean through their trading posts down the mckenzie river valley and report results next fall the swans of the thames one of the sights of the upper thames is the swans which are to be seen floating around gracefully on the surface of the water often fol lowed by a pair of cygnets they move about the small boats which frequent these waters fearlessly for no one disturbs them as they are regarded as the kings property as a matter of fact they are owned jointly by the king the vintners guild and the dyers guild every year in july the kings swan mast ers make a trip over the river and they make a mark on the bhds bill to indicate its ownership the cyg nets which have- been unmarked are divided among the owners persons desiring to own swans may apply and if their application is passed upon favorably they are given a pair they must prove that they have a suitable place to keep the birds service ottawa the post otlico de partment had an operating protit ot 53100000 in the year

which have taken place in the years which separate us from pioneers writes the peterborough examiner like this if the pioneer came back today he would marvel at the manner of 1931 agriculture the manner of feeding has changed thj way in which milk is taken and separated at once the putting down of production it would seem strange to him to turn a button and illuminate the barn he would find himself in a changed world it went on like that for quite a distance and no doubt theres quite a bit of truth in it but the change is not as great as stated the pio neer farmer would find some things had not changed at all and we men tion just one teaching a calf to drink out of a pail we dare say he did it just the same as it was done on the tenth concession some years ago and just the same as it is being done on farms all over the country today it is quite true many things are done differently today no longer is a pig allowed to live long enough to demonstrate how big and how fat ho can become the pig is cut off in his youth the pioneer allowed him to become a nice largo pig be fore he considered it well to he done with him it is the same with chickens they are subjected to sttange and great mechanical de vices today the pioneer used to help chip the eggs at the end of three weeks and if the old hen deserted her family he would rear the chicks in a basket beside the kitchen range much has changed but we do not know of any new devices for teach ing a calf to drink from a pail the pioneer probably got some milk in ill pail ad put his hand dowr in the bottom and turned the fingers up to get the calf to start that way we did the same thing in later years on the tenth concession and we be lieve the custom has not changed nor has the strength of tho calfs neck a calf may look wobbly on its long legs but it is never wobbly in the neck a calf may even appear to be demure and in its eyes one may even see the light of reason and a certain degree of wisdom but when it comes to drinking from a pail the calf is stubborn extremely so the first few lessons in pail drinking when a calf is being weaned always spoiled a mans temper we dont know if we can recall a man who taught a calf to drink out of a pail without saying the things which never should have been said so if the pioneer were to return he might find a good many things changed but if there was a calf near the weaning stage he would feel that he was back where he once belonged most of us like to sit and gossip it is really an idle habit it en courages loose foolish talk even a fairly industrious person
