TRAGIC STORY IS TOLD BY DOCTOR Moving swiftly to relieve distress along the shores of Newfoundland, the new commission government in less than a year has taken three thou- sand fisherfolk off the dole and sent them back to the sea in ships. It has planned, too, to make farmers out of five thousand families who cannot now make a living. But with another winter coming on, the spectre of po- verty still hovers over many of the cutports and the problem of direct re- lieLf remains. The Vellore Euchre Club met on Monday evening in the Memorial Hall There were fifty people present re- gardless of the cold evening. Prize winners for: the ladies were: lst, Mrs. J. A. McNeil, 2nd Miss Laurena Ruth- erford, 3rd Miss Deborah Davidson, and consolation, Mrs. Wm. Bates. Prize winners for the gents,; lst, Mr. Howell Price; 2nd, Mr. Bob Julian; 3rd, Mr. D. A. McKinn'on, and consolation, Mr. Alex. Yorke. Hope has been express-ed in of- ficial quarters that reports like the one brought from St. Mary’s by Dr. James McGrath will be few. Don’t forget Vellore School Con- cert, Monday, Dec. 17th. The doctor, a visitor ‘in the capital, said the fishery. was a complete fail- ure in the whole of St. Mary’s Bay. Traps from St. Mary’s to St. Peter’s River had not averaged more than 30 quinrtals each and there had been no fall fishery owing to the lack of bait and the prevalence of dogfish. With three bad fisheries in Succes- sion and no prospect of employment, except possibly a little pit-prop cut- ting at Salmoni-er, the people were facing the worst prospects within their memory. In one section where there were eighty families, seventyâ€"five were getting relief with no prospect of a1- leviating their condition, the doctor reported. He said that between sixty and seventy per cent of the 4,000 people in St. Mary’s Bay would be forced to accept doLe this winter. During the last three years they had been disposing of their livestock and now had no resources except the produce of their gardens which would be consumed before long.

NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Purchasing Feed Stuffs The advantage of co-operative pur- chase of feed stuffs is sometimes lost through the feeding of those feeds which can be purchased in carlot quantities without regard to balance or suitability of rations. Carlot purâ€" chase of feeding stuffs [should be undertaken from the standpoint of both economy and efficiency. Dollars per ton is not the allâ€"important angle. The cost per pound of food nutrients is more important and, better still, the price per unit of feeding value and the suitability for balancing home-grown or other feeds are the important factors to consider. There are several steps to follow in the purchase of supplementary feeds. They are: (1) Know what is on hand in the form of home-grown feeds. (2) Know what best balances the feeds on hand, taking into consider- ation both quality and cost. (3) Purâ€" chase supplementary feeds in quan- tity sufficient to take advantage of the best prices and lowest freight rates. (4) Know the production records of the livestock fed. the Farm These Days One of the very practical lines of instruction giVen to all regular students at the 0.A.C. is in the ad- justment, repair and care of farm machinery and other farm equip- ment such as tools, harness, ropes, belts, etc. So great is the need for care and economy on the farms just now that it has been decided to offer a. course in instruction and practice along these lines to any young men who attend the ten-day short; course at the College, January 2 to 11, and who wish to spend their time on this kind of work. Care Means Cash on These men will participate in the same evening program of games and entertainment as thos\e taking other lines of work in the daylight hours. Great Shorthorns Too “That was a great story in last week’s press about your remarkable Holstein cow and her large family,” said a visitor at the College this week “but have you no outstanding beef cattle to show to young farmers who come to your short course in Jan- uary “Plenty of them,” said Professor Raithby, “Shorthorns, Heresford's and Angus. For instance, there in our fine Shorthorn cow, Augusta Fancyâ€"â€" 166122. She is 15 years old and last August she dropped her 13th calf. Three of her heifers are still in the College herd and six of her seven bull calves have been sold for breed- ing- purposes. “Then, too, we have in the herd: many of the offspring of Augusta Fancy’s grand old halfâ€"sister, Col- lege Augusta VI, who, when she was 17 years old, gave us her 16th calf. A fine sturdy strain they are, of good type and great usefulness. “Yes, we have lots of good cattle of both beef and dairy breeds for our demonstrations in January, and we expect to have several hundred: keen young fellows here to handle and dis- cuss these cattle and to enjoy ten days of real active, intimate College work and life.” Weekly Crop Prevailing weather on Ontario until the 9n '01) Report her in most Parts the first week in THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13th, 1934 December was quite exceptiolni. Whereas last year cattle had been fed for five or six weeks prior to flail time, the open fall this year permitted farmers to leave their cattle on pas- ture, thus shortening the Winter feed!- ing period materially. It was a. fim autumn for plowing too. (kw county meports that never for tho past few years has so much grain been marketed. This is largely due to the fact that prices of cattle were low, grain was comparatively high and there were exceptional grain crop this year. vSeveral carlots of live- stock have been shipped from Brant and Haldimand counties to the United States in the past few weeks.
