The result was inferior. quality eggs and poor returns to the`, farmers. | The associations were formed at i the suggestion of the Live Stock and `Live Stock Products Division, Mai-- `keting Service, Dominion Department` ! I `of Agriculture, in co-operation with `the agricultural representative of the `Provincial Department of Agricul- ture. Eggs are graded by the as- lsociations and shipped to Montreal jmarkets. The grade put up by the associations is accepted by whole- lsalers without challenge. ` Not. only have farmers and the `communities in which they live Ebenetted by a higher return for ltheir eggs, but they have also found `that the grading reports give a `check on methods of feeding, breed- iing and handling eggs. Farmers who ihandled their ocks and eggs pro- gperly received better grades and higher returns. When the indiffer- ent, poultryman found that he was getting lower returns. he was induc- .._x L, _._.,,_,_.,, u-:_ .,_..-u._.~:_ nm_. .4.

Four years later-April 1880--the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada was formed. It was a new domain of public service but the Company s founder, the late Charles Fleetford Sise, was confident that a painstaking, cour- teous service, always improving as new appa- ratus a-nd new methods evolved, would in time develop into one of the major enterprises of Canada. He saw that telephone service was worth so much more than its cost to the user that the future of the business was assured. The principle that Bell embodied in his first crude telephone has persisted to this day. The principles of Charles Fleetford Sise for the conduct of 2 great public service are reflected in the continuous progress of `the Company he founded. Within these sixty years the telephone has broken down ti '2 barriers of space and time and vastly promoted human understanding: In Canada the telephone is used more than in any. other land.
