HELPING THE FOX FARMEB.

An advertisement issued [by the New Brunswick Department of Agri- culture and published in the press 0i that Province carries the proud cap‘ “New Brunswick leads the World in Service to Fox Farmers."

“In 1928." the advertisement con- tinues, "New Brunswick Depart- ment ~of Agriculture, in co-opera- tion with ‘the New Brunswick Fox Breeders Association, employed an expert veterinary who visited a large number of the fox ranches oi the Province. This initial effort W55 so successful and s0 greatly ap- preciated ihnt in i929 the Depart- ment of Agrlcullure instituted an enlarged service, employing an ex- pert fox veterinary and a practical fox fawner to visit, the fox ranches 0f the Province to give special ser- vice to beginners and to the small- er ranchers in an effort to foster and encourage the fur-farming in- dustry of the Province. In this pro- gresive work New Brunswick leads the world." -

Thanks to the initiative of our‘ , breeders, Prince Edward Island canl still boast that she leads the World} in the production of quality silver‘ black foxes. She has maintained this lead from tiie s;art, and no country, Province or State has ever seriously challenged her position. She is shortly to hold the first live silver fox exhibition ever held in the Maritime Provinces, and the assistance of the Provincial Government has been secured in this laudable enterprise. But it is well to keep a friendly eye on the activities of our competitors. ‘rho New Brunswick Government is taking an increasing interest in the fox business in that Province, and through its co-operation we may ex- pect to see the industry make strides in the near future. The Government 0f this Province, ii only from the standpoint oi increased revenue, should be keenly interested in [pro- moting any scheme to foster and en- courage fyr farming. Expert veterin- ary inspection of all fox farms is one way in which it could show that in- terest. Close co-operation with our fox breeders, with frequent confer- ences between the government and the breeders, migt have successful re- sults in many trays, and might be es- pecially beneficial in encouraging the general farmer to take up this busi- ness as a profitable sideline.

A NOTABLE FIGURE

The most conspicuous and perhaps the most interesting figure in pub- lic life today is the Rt. Hon. J. Ram- say McDonald, Prime Minister oi Great Britian and leader of the Labor Party. In the real scnse of the word, Mr. McDonald is a self made man. Born in a little fishing viliiage in Scotland, the son of a laborer and his first home a "but and pen," he came to Iiondon at, the age of eigh- teen anal ivorkz-d at 12 shillings and sixpence a iieek as a clerk. He con- tinued his own education by even- ing classes, laboratory work and in- consent reading until a breakdown in health cndcd his dream of a scientific career, .and sent him to Journalism. Joining the Independent Labor Party in 1894, he became more and more interested in politics. The later phases of his career are well blown to all our readers. To have

tion in Canada when he arrives. From the fishing villlee in Scotland and its humble oompanionships to his status of today is a. long step, and few men in any use have been able w traverse it.

That Mr. McDonald is entitled to all the honor that has been bestowed upon him goes without saying. He has earned ‘it all by his own hand. Arid while there may be questionings as to the wisdom of his policy and his dealings with the radical elements oi the Socialist and Labor parties throughout the world, few will doubt his honesty and sincerity of purpose. His visit to Canada is an event in the history oi the country, and in doing him honor Canada will honor herself,

TALKING TURKEY

With the Thanksgiving season n far on’. anything referring to turkey is of interest. “Many a. stout gob- bier who struts about the barnyard today will land toes up on a big plat- ter in the middle of the dinner table before the year is out,“ sighs the Vall- ooixvei- Province. "If he doesn't 891? the axe at Thanksgiving, they'll catch him for Christmas."

Turkey raising is a declining indus- try on the North American continent. The United States is an importer of tmkeys, live and dressed. The indus- try is followed extensively in Eastern Canada, given some attention in the Middle West, but almost wholly nes- iected in British Columbia. That there are possibilities in it may be inferred from the news that the turkey- growers of the United States plan to send a large delegation to the World's Poultry Congress at Imndon next year. The turkey producers will g0 B! their own expense, the llflp to cost around $1000. Farmers or their wives who can afford to enjoy such n. tour are not likely among the number clamoring for loans from the United States Government,

some idea of the world demand for turkeys is indicated in United States trade returns which show that in 1928 the Argentine Republic alone shipped to the United States 2.485.560 pounds of turkey, despite the tariff of 8 cents a pound imposed. In August and September last year. Americans imported more than 2.000.000 pounds

Raising turkeys is work for the most energetic and intelligent, and women excel in it. Once the turkey chicks be- gin to sprout wing feathers. the trouble period in raising them is about over. It is set down u an axiom in the poultry business that "anyone who can raise turkeys can make money."

BE NOT T00 POMPOUS

‘The National Federation of Mer- chant ‘Ilailors meeting recently at Exeter, England. protested against "dress quacks." and, "as the custod- ian of good taste and style in real tailoring." carried a resolution urging the young man with his way in make in the world to be particular and precise in the matter of suitable dress on all occasions. Doubtlesa the con- vention delegates had reason to style themselves "custodians of good taste," etc, in matters sartorial. Yet the phrueolcgy is somewhat unfortun-

risen from poverty and obscurity to the position of First Commoner in the land. to have become educated and cultured without the aid of college or university, is in itself a striking ex- ample oi what can be done by well directed labor.

That Mr. McDonald is a strong man 806-! Without saylnz- He will undoubt- edly make an impression 0n the his-

ate. It reminds us of the famous pet- ition beginning "We. the people of England." which the tailors of Tooley Street submitted to Parliament. It does not do to take onek business too seriously; and when any organ- ization begins m look upon itself u the "custodian" either of public mor- als or public taste, that organization

It gives tho player exercise in the c9011 Ill‘ for every limb and muscle in his body 1m- ong thing. At the same time the uninformed observer who sees n. game on the links for the ﬁrst time may be led to wonder at the enthusiasm 3nd t. of the players to their favorite j. time- To such an observer golf is a ball game. played with six or eight dif- ferent kinds of bats called “sticks,” but eacif-‘hnving a. separate name for itself known only to the initiated. Golf is something of an aristocratic sport in,_its way, requiring n. large area of land on which the course is laid out, and a club house, both usu- ally located near a city or town. and involving a very considerable outlay. It is therefore not a sport which ap- peals to the proletariat as many other out-door sports do. Golf is venerable as a sport and is claimed to be of Dutch origin, but it found a home in Scotland some 500 or more years ago. and was little known elsewhere for a long period. It was introduced into England from Scotland duririg the 17th century, but was not played extensively there un- til after 1864. Under the new im- petus derived from its growing pop- ularity in the United Kingdom, it spread to America, and is now es- tablished throughout Canada, the British Empiro and the Unitedstates. It was first played in New York about i890, after an earlier introductionin Canada from Scotland. v Golf as an outdoor summer sport, and "the roarin‘ game" of curling for indoors in winter, seem to have especial at- tractions for Scotsmen and their des- oendants wherever they may be. and they have carried them. along with the bagpipes to the ends of the earth.

There have been many predictions of an early and cold winter in Can- ada, but the one thing that is fairly certain is that the prophets know very little about it. In the past it- has been proverbial that the unex- pected happens quite as frequently as that which has been conﬁdently anticipated. For instance. who pre- dicted the drought that came over Western Canada and England last summer, or the return of the “nu" to Prince Edward Island, with such deadly effect upon our aged people last winter? The future is, no doubt wisely, hidden from mortal eyes, and it should not be feared, except in so fer as may keep us back from wrong doing, for fear is depressing and al- ways injurious.

The MacDonald Government in England is playing its game in na- tional and international aﬂaim, with a bold and vigorous hand, not- withstanding its minority in the House of Commons and the Lords. Some of the things it has done and other things it proposes to do. provoke sharp criticism, but on the whole it. seems to be gaining ra- ther than losing ground in popular favor. The Prime Minister, now in the United States, is being received with all the courtesy and respect due t0 111-1 Personal hlzh character and his ability as a statesman.

In our local politics there exists a complex of cross purposes, conflict- ing ambitions and apprehensions as to what the final outcome may be. The deadlock in the Cabinet is not broken, but the tension has possibly relaxed a. little While the leaders are trying to and a way out of the pre- sent entanglement. In the meantime both Liberals and Conservatives are asking whether or not an investiga- tion shall be held to determine the facts in regard to an alleged irregu- larity in which some thousands of W11"! 01’ Public money are involved. The Govemorship of the province is claimed by certain aspirants to be potentially vacant. and rivalry, as is usual has the double motive of a. de- sire for the honor of an appointment and q determination that no rival shall set 1r. But we m told there is an "if" in the way, so that if by luv chance a Benatorship should be- come vacant, the new appointment would go to a worthy gentleman who prefers a life sent in thq lud Chum-

The football neuron is alwayl an anxious time for parents. As they remember that during the season of tho previous year there were a certain number of deaths, many broken collar bones. disloca- tions and fractures of arms and legs. they wonder if they are not foolish in allowing their boy to play. The very fact that their boy wants to play football should be a source oi pridq to them; that he is willing to measure his speed. ntrength and skill against boys of his own weight and age. .What does real football training mean? Physically. it means that he must cut out smoking, his over-eating, his late hours. and be willing to turn out regularly and daily for practice. ‘Phi-s, means strong heart and lungs, with round increase in muscular strength.
