1. What are the ohlectlvu of liquor advertisements?

ing:

(b) to tunI-i moderate drinkers into lmmoderate drinkers: every immoredate drinker starts as ii moderate drinker. .

(c) to give the alcoholic a stim- ulus to drink all he can buy; every alcoholic starts as a moder- ate drinker.

(d) to get the women drinking so that liquor will be brought into many more homes.

2. What are the objections to these Advertisements?

The advertisements are mislead- ing and do not advertise their finished product-an intoxicated man of woman, but subtly violate truth by portraying liquor as l-iarm. less except to a comparatively small number of drinkers. The Droven consequences, physlclal, e- conomic, social and moral, are Sullprcssed as well as the high- way menace of the drinking driv- er.

3. As a war measure a ban was but upon liquor advertisements in Canada; why?

During war it was necessary to conserve man power and materials. but liquor wastes these to the en- richment of h. few at the expense 01 man)". in peace as well as war times.

4. How does liquor "waste" or nirikc a use of these resources un- profitable to the general public?

Man poweywaste is exemplified in the alcoholic who may be seen in any city where liquor is sold. Liquor is blamed for 80 per cent of juvenile delinquency and for 28 per cent of crimes committed. It heads all factors as the occasion of V.D.

Grain is urgently needed to feed a hungry world, but is wasted in liquor which is advertised so that its sale to the many builds vast fortunes for the few, even though their wealth means dis- ease, broken homes, and crime for others.

industry from following the plow. is an Egyptian legend: "Osiris taught the way and man- ner of tillage and good manage- ment of the fruits of the earth"; which indicates they believed the plow was a gift from the gods. The Greeks had a similar idea, but named their own gods: Zeus, Dionysus. and Demeter. The Chin- ese referred to their emperor, who each year plowed certain sacred fields, where he grew ceremonial crops and herbs as: "The Divine Husbandman".

The first plow was probably an and may have been a heavier broken from a tree, it had an ab- rupt curve and was pushed over the ground by the foot. It is be- lieved to have been invented in Minor. probably ill the Euphrates Vallcy, because it was there and in the Valley of the Nile that the earliest ruins of agricultural settlement have been found. Its use had to overcome the objections of the magic mak- ers, who insisted that magic and certain rcliglous rituals had to be performed in order to encourage the growth of crops.

. . .

The development, of thc "trac- tion plow" followed because some- one discovered that it was easier to pull than to shove this crude plow. A forked tree was cut off with one branch for a hiindle and the two scctions of the forked trunk sharpcncrl to stir the earth. The first authentic record of this type was a picture of the plow on a seal found in a cemetery in Asia Minor, made about 3,500 B.C. Other pictures of plows drawn or hauled by four persons, with another liold- ing the handle, and one dropping: seeds, have been found painted on Egyptian monuments.

The ancient plows merely stirred or loosened the earth so that seeds could be covered. The use of draft animals, including cows and bulls, came about largely because they were symbols of fertility, and for a long period of time they were hitched alongside of a. person (fre- quently a female). oxen were found to be much easier to handle than bulls as draft animals, and the illustrations show that these were attached to the plow by ropes from their horns (also a. symbol of fertil- ity). There were many variations

plows which were in general pse in some countries from 2,000 B.C. to the beginning of the Christian era. The prevallling type consisted of I. block of wood with the front end pointed or wcdge shaped. It

titled served as the bottom to which the things beam and a single handle were at-

tached. In some countries these wooden plows with iron points are still used.

The yoke for the oxen, the plow- tho moldboard, a fore-car- riage for a wheel and the coulter were improvements, most of which came during the period of the Ro- man Empire. Early Anglo-Saxon pictures of plowing show draft ani- mals and attendants with effective persuaders. These plows had two handles and one picture has the legend: "God spede ye plough. and send us Korne enow" (enough).

The writer, when in Belgium early in 1919, slw a milch cow with a full udder hitched with a horse to a plow. This did not look right. to him, and upon his return to Canada, he learned that such a combination is illegal in this coun- try.

The Modern Walking Plow.

The English and American pat- cut records show the the evolution of the modern plow. The last half of the lath century saw a much greater advance in agricultural im- plemcrits than had occurred dur- ing many previous centuries. The

colonial plow. which reflected English ldeu, was in general use in North America up to the end of that century. It had a wrought iron point, tipped or edged with steel; the moldb d and other parts were wood. In some cases the moldboard was covered with sheet iron.

Chutes Newbold of New Jersey, patented the first cast iron plow in 1791; the share and moldboard were cast in one piece, and replgcg. ments were so expensive that his plow manufacturing venture ruled, Wrought-iron and steel plows were patented in 1808. R. B. Chenaworth, of Baltimore, patented a great im- pi vement in 1313: he cast the share, moldboard and landside of his plow separately. By 1837 John Deere was producing his plow; and in 1855 the James Oliver chilled plows were manufactured. We owe the benefits of the cast share with the chilled, long wearing point and cutting edge, the curved malleable standard and the simple, adjust- able beam, to Oliver, of South Bend,

Indiana.

. I A mathematical formula for the t shape of an efficient metal mold- board for 2. plow was worked out by Thomas Jefferson, who became the tlilrd president of the United States, but unfortunately this formula was not used in his time. By annealing and tempering, the wearing parts of the plow have been greatly improved. The shape of the moldboard has been deve- loped to meet the purposes for which the plow is used. There are three general types of walking plows: For sod land, the plow has 8- IOIIE. -510l7in8 moldboard with a t 80001 overhang. that gradually lifts and turns the furrow into its new position without breaking it, For stubble land or bare soil, the plow moldboard has a much greater curvature, and pulverlzes the soil more thoroughly. The general pur- pose plow has a moldboard with an intermediate curvature, so that it may be used either for sod or stubble plowing.

Gang and Riding Plowa.

Two-furrow gang plows were fol- lowed by piowa with more than '-W0 boll-Omd. and some large gang plows were hauled from stationary engines by cables. The sulky plow seems to have been a development from the one-way plow for side hills. which left no dead furrows. A little later the disc plow and the disc cutaway plow were deve- loped for special work; and at flu; were horse drawn; later the large sang and the disc plows were haul- ed by trantors. These all have largely been replaced by the mod- em tractor plows, which are opal-- ated from the seat of the tractor, and may be only one of several atl.achm.ent.s that can be coupled to the tractor.

S pedal Plow:

The subsoil plow la used to break up I hardpan below the ordinary furrow depth. Some plows have an attachment for this purpose fastened to the plow that loosens the subsoil below the furrow bot- tom. The mole-plow is 2. Cylinder. Bhlped device, attached to a plow beam by one or more coulter arms, and makes a subterranean outlet for draining land. It has been used successfully in marsh lands that are alluvial deposits.

The moldboard plow operate, .3 a double twisting wedge, which lifts and inverts the soil of the fur- row. It is our most efficient cul- tural implement in proportion in the power required. The twisting, shearing action of the moldboard, when soil moisture conditions lire right, results in a very complete pulverization of the soil furrow slice, which is broken into many thin layers. both horizontally and vertically. Rt-cent cooperative tests by the Ontario Agricultural College have confirmed our opinion that the moldboard plow is superior to the disc plow, the one-way-disc and rotary tillage. These tests were over a period of four years on . Clay toll: on sandy loam soils, the results might be even more favour- able from the use of the moldboard plow.

Mrs. W. R. Collins, who has two grandchildren, said she has been vacationing in the Muskoka region for lo years and is getting an In- fcrlority complex because she can't tell one rock from mother.

Another student, Mrs. Kathleen Hugget is taking the course so she can relay the information to her husbaiid who hasn't time for classes.

"We have (00 acres of puro rock in Muakoka," she said, "and who knows what might be hidden there?"

she's going to do her prospecting from the air. She often flies with forestry engineer at I-Ialleybury. she plans to take a pair of strong binoculars along to see if ahe can spot some interesting rock tonna- tlons.
