I had no misgivings about either: my apprenticeship under the close su- pervision of the headmaster of a Government sciiool had given me a fair amount of both. But what a- bout the regulations —the "customs of the country?" Our school in the Old Country was it rural one. and commenced the day with the sound oi the tcaclwers whistle.

The American market was stronger, particuarlv on the better grades of cattle and shipments made to the souzh during the week netted back good returns at Can- adlan country points.

PUULTRY NllTES

iBy‘ L. E. M.)

Vvlrcn an egg is laid, it is with few (‘XC“[)ilOllS an excellent pack- age of delicious food. An egg, re- gardless of climate or external con- tiitioiis leaves the hens body at body temperature. Therefore the market value of an egg is determined bl’ the care you give it in handing and smrfige. Eggs are perishable, in fact just as much so as milk. You may- not rsalize this, because nature has already done his part by putting them up in a neat container -the shell and so its not. as easy to detect any deterioration as in other foods. Milk deteriorates at a. tempera- ture of 70 degrees F. This is also true of eggs. The shell of an egg licing porous minute bacterial life may enter the egg shells and so deteriorate the flavour and poaching qualiijv of the egg. For example egg-case fillers may get wet and as a result mould de- velops. eggs packed in such a case not only have a musty odour and taste. but the mould has actually been found on the inside of the shell.

Eggs offered for sale should never be washed, as washing removsfi i1 ivzitiiig or one might say, protector on the outside of the shell.

r CONSERVATION I

l WEEKLY COLUMN OI‘ PRACTICAL OPINIONS 0F THE VITAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE USES AND ABUSES 0! NATURAL RESOURCES BY MB. LUDIDW JENKINS

l

The Co-founders of The Canad- ian Conservation Association.

Dear Sirs: Since it has fallen to my lot to serve as President the newly founded Canadian Conserva- tion Assoclation and since so man] of the Co-founders were unable to attend the meeting of organization held in Kingston. may I take this opportunity to pass on a few of the impressions received at that time and also to offer a sort of program- outline for the immediate future.

Before doing so, however, I should like to state that considerable eri- thusiasm was manifested in the for- mation of a Canada-ivide conserva- tion organization, and further that at the close of the meeting there was a. general feeling that a worth while beginning had been made on a. national problem. As evidence that the approval of a. national oi"- ganization is general. I need but state that approximately seventy per cent of all those originally ap- proached have signified their de- sire l0 join.

During the inaugural meetings, particularly at the round-table confereiioe held in the evening, many pertinent suggestions ivere made. TDOSE that stand out in my mind had to do with education, re- search and investigation. survey, a broad basis, and the necessity’ of consolidating all progress made by successive accomplishments of con- crete objectives.

It would be difficult to do jus- tice to the many contributions made by those participating in the dis- cussions and I shall attempt no more than to incorporate use main ideas. in a general way, in the fol- lowing program-outline, as I have called it.

Manifestly, we cannot lead with- out a following and no following but an intelligent one is safe or desirable. It would seem, therefore. that our first objective should be to educate. With us this means education in Conservation and the mcst direct course to this end is plainly one that will acquaint. Canadians with the situation with respect to our natural resources. as it actually obtains iii Canada today. The presentation of this situation, compared with what it was in the recent past and with what it is like- ly to be in the near future, might well constitute our immediate, lead- ing objective. Few Canadians, re- latively speaking, know, for ex- ample. what inroads "deserts on the march" have made on our Mid- western Prov-noes: few are aivare of the effects deforestation of our Rocky Mountain slopes is having on our western rivers. and still few- er realize what economic consequ- ences may follow ihc uncontroiied destruction of our wild life. As an isolated example one might. cite the desctruction of the beaver in the northwest. The '"plcture“ to be pre- sented, however, would also have its compensating features. Rela- tively few Canadians, for instance, now the story of the rehabilitation of the prairie farmer. F-ew are a- ware of the contributions to con- servation made by the National Parks’ Bureau, or of the con- certed efforts put forth. here and there. to re-establish and maintain forests and wild life. Let us then aim to make Canada known to Canadians, and to create machinery whereby all Canadians may con- tribute to the mmost to a. common cause.

a. t-inbling of these data is really an invcstigatjoiiai undertak- ing. and iii passing I should like to stress the fundamental importance of investigation and resc "ch. Thzso alone provide the facts ‘Illl w. . ll we can €llilg‘.'fll ziiid educate. Through [D050 solutions" to pro- blems suggest tliciiisclv-ts. We shall

have need to rzsort. to lIl£‘lll co; tinualy, as starting DiillllS in tiie solution of our problems. Iii the

first place we shall have to rely on them for tli: production of the Canada-wide picture and licn many tilflis thereafter" in dealing with the component parts of tiic picture — even to so small a part perchanoe, as the social life of liit: meadow mouse.

As to our policy: ‘That. brought uiidcr discussion at the inaugural meeting. Plflllli)’, it. must be one of cooperation ll nVIIIDQIIIC- tic cooperation between those that "love" the status quo iii Natiue, and those that would provide, and take the inclement; and also between thc various reiat-cti societies, econ of which has to some extent pro- claimed its "sphere of influence." Most of our members will, no doubt, owe affiliations l0 such societies and since many of LIIESC have de- finitely" conimitted themselves to some phase of Conservation, the new Association should serve a na- toiiial purposc as a. coordinating agency" and tlicr-cby help those :0- cietics to achieve their individual objectives.

And last, but of supreme import- ance, is the Association's desire to cooperate with the various govern-

too, was

iiient agencies entrusted with the care of our natural l'f‘Filill' =s Per- haps we might express 1i s policy

more happily as a desire. to supple- nieiit the work o.‘ these departments. But we should like io tio more, we should like to see iiicni hackni by the oivei" of an infoimeci puialio.

Iii conteiiiplaiiiig i126 complexity of our work we cannot help realiz- iiig that there nvlll be no "royal road" to achievement, and iio panacea. for our present ills. but that success can be attained. only, by a wise integration of the part ma- terial things piay in man's hap- pincss-material such as soil and water and the life that these sup- port-and [sat intangible thing we call human aspiration

But just another word with re- gard to the inaugural meeting. A- mong those present thcrc was ii gctierai feeling oi regret that Illilll)’ who have loin: bctn ititcrestcd and active in Coiissrvation were not ad- vised of this meeting. lt was, tlirrc- fore, decided to extend the oppor- tunity for 5110.1 ptrsons to be elect- ed f0 charter membership. The As- sociation is anxzoxzs: that all such persons. by the ologiscts. fur- esters, imturoiis , cers, sports- nieii. busiiicss c cu. c. agricul- ...c ziffilatcd, should become active pririiczjmnts in this" national endeavour

In closing may I make one lino suggeslioti: That iii C0lill0CliOll .ii our Conservation program we ktcp iii mind the rc-cs ‘isliiiiciit of o".ir soldiers, when t shall not;
