All they need to keep them active is warmth and moisblue. . . With all our boasted sanitary laws, we are over thirty centuries behind Moses in our knowledge of, and obedience to. sanitary laws.

Socrates was a great teacher of morality, yet strange to say, he -leftno writings behind him; he was put to ddth by the verdict of a Jury of his own people, who saw in his teachings skeptical doubts,concerning beliefs then in vogue . . . . A man who ab- hors dishonesty and selfishness in'-politics, and yet is afraid to speak his mind, is not. by any measured standard, a. good ctiun. . . .

It is not too soon for farmers.

who will require hell) in the W"- lng season. to start considering the problem. The man power sit- uation in Canada is very much different from that existing In 19-39 when many were unemployed and were only too willing to Join up in the armed forces. The raising of an army at the present time would appear to be a much more difficult problem. Any significant decrease in the number of farm workers would very well result in a tight food situation in Canada. During the Napoleonic Wars one worker could supply two soldiers. During World War I. five workcrs supplied one soldier and in World War ll, six- teen civilian workers were relliiii” ed in maintain one soldier on the battle field.

Federation Directors Meet

On January 26th the Provincial Board of Directors met to discuss Federation problems. Committees were appointed as follows: Live- stock. Potato. Grassland. Poultry and Finance.

The directors. Vho comprised those committees. have the rc- sponaibility of making suggestions and working out policies for each particular problem, The question of affiliation with the Maritime Federation of Agriculture was carefully discussed and it was de- cided to ask the Board of Direc- tors of that body to outline the terms and tondltlons for affilia- tion. Nova Scotla and New Bruns- wick contrlbute to and support the Canadian Federation of Agriculture through the Maritime Federation.

P. E. 1. has named its own di- rectors and paid fees directly to the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture.

The meeting agreed on the value of a Maritime Federation which could deal with Maritime problems from a Maritime standpoint rather than on a Provincial basis.

The Hon. Mr. Baker and W. I-I. Shaw attended the meeting and discussed the Veterinafy POIICY Md Warble Fly Campaign with the directors. The question of a Cus- tom Killing Plant in Charlotte- town was thoroughly discussed and while the value of lilch 5 plant was apparent a practical approach to its provision was not so easy to decide.

lllgll Analysis Fortllllor

For some years the Maritime Federation of Agriculture alilvllzed for the doing away with low analysis mixed fertilizer such as 2-12-6 and 4-8-10 which contains is substantial portion of filler. For the lug three years the Maritime Fertilizer Council has asked Fertil- izer Manufacturers. who in most cases agree. not to offer the low analysis product for sale. How- bcver in some areas 4-3-10 W8! DU" being sold in the past year.

Farmers by using 5-10-10 and 5-10-13. saved ili”the Maritime Prov- inces as high as 8170000 in one year. as well as labor involved in handling and spreading the con- centrated product.

Farmers. when ordering fertil- izer. can keep, down costs by uslnlz the high analysis product.

Farm Labour Unions

Around the Great Lakes in ii"? United States. a number of Dairy Farmers have formed Unions ind affiliated with the American Fed- eration of Labor. which was ex- pgcud (0 neg 55 a bargaining agency for the Dalrymen.

Apparently the Dalrymen felt that the Labor Union could act more effectively as n bnrsalnlnlz agency than could their own Co-

It is a curious fact that 1 g. of gold will make eoo sq. in. of gold leaf. The fineness of gold is ex- pressed in terms of carats. 24 carat gold being pure, while 16 carat (75 per cent) is the grade used for the best Jewelry. But for coinage. a 90 per cent alloy is used. which recalls to mind that old adage: "all that glitters is not sold." . . Lilies owe their whiteness to tiny gas bubbles, dia- hersod through the plant. White hair is also due to air bubbles in the hair, though no one knows Why age or worry should effect the hair in such a way. . . .

The delegates decided to press for a floor price of 02 cents per pound on butter in the coming season and also to request lahs im- position of duties and tarts: on vegetable oils oomlxu into the country to be used in ufactur ing oleo. l

The recent annctmcenionl that impact controls on butter had been lifted after being in effect three days is puzzling. No doubt an ex-
