(Associated Press Staff Writer) Singapore, Feb.6.\u2014OP)\u2014Amid the thunder of heavy mortars, cannon and aerial bombs, interspersed by the chatter of machine guns, sharp-eyed sentinels kept roving watch today for a Japanese assault by parachutists or water-borne shock troops against this island citadel.Patrols worked constantly up and down the creek-mouths which cut into the North shore of Singapore Island, within rifle shot of Japanese positions against the Strait, where at any hour the Japanese might try to throw a bridge of boats and men.In other vantage spots stationary lookouts kept on guard for parachutists.The similarity of the present situation to that of Crete\u2014with the proximity of the foe emphasizing the danger a hundredfold\u2014has impressed the threat of \u201cvertical envelopment\u201d on Singapore's defenders.But the British troops no longer will be taken by surprise.Special attention is being given to the parachute threat.Singapore had four air raid alarms before 0 a.m.today.Bombs were dropped during the first three alerts but Hurricane fighters evidently drove off the fourth wave before its racks could be emptied.Today rounded out the first full week of Japanese siege.The full strength which the enemy had poured into Malaya for the two-month advance to the Strait of Jo-hore apparently was still moving up to the invasion coast or was being disposed in jump-off points for the assault on Singapore.By and large, the Battle of Singapore now has become a waiting game.The headquarters communique, after noting, \u201cThere is little to report from Singapore today,\u201d said that defence artillery was still smashing at troop movements across the Strait in the Johore Bahru area with the Japanese intermittently returning the fire to the Northern part of the island.The Japanese were lobbing their shells across the Strait with their larger-type mortars.Of the continuing Japanese air attacks, the headquarters, s.,,.\u201cOur forward troops were subjected to low-level machine-gun and bombing attacks.\u201d \u201cDuring this morning\u2019s raids on Singapore Island one enemy fighter was destroyed and three were damaged in combat by our fighters, one of which is missing.\u201d (Singapore observed today the 123rd anniversary of the.founding of the city by Sir Stamford Raffles Continued on Page 2, Col.4.CLAIMS GREEK NOT GOSPELS\u2019 LANGUAGE Chicago, Feb.6.\u2014bP)\u2014Dr.Albert T.Olmstead, a University of Chicago professor reported today the Gospels were not written originally in Greek, as assumed by New Testament scholars, but in Aramic, the Near Eastern language spoken by Jesus himself.He proposed that scholars reconstruct the original words of Jesus by translating the Greek back into Aramic, saying he believed a much clearer understanding of the exact content of Jesus\u2019 sayings would be obtained.Vallejo, Calif., Feb.6.\u2014 (/P) \u2014 Raids by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in areas adjacent to two big United States West coast navy yards have led to the arrest of nearly two score Axis aliens, mostly Japanese, and seizing of navy signal flags, maps, weapons, cameras and radios.The latest raid of twenty-five F.B.I.agents fell with surprising suddenness last night on alien establishments in Vallejo, near the Mare Island navy yard.Wednesday other F.B.I.agents seized fifteen Japanese on Bain-bridge Island which lies strategically near the navy yard at Bremerton, Wash.Among the Vallejo places raided last night was a Japanese laundry which, police said, had been laundering clothes for island workers.The Continued on Page 2.Col.4.Japanese Lose \"\t\u201d, in Bombing Raids On Rangoon Ten Raiders Shot Down and Another Ten Probably Damaged as Result ot Clash of Forty-Four Japanese Planes with British and United States Fliers During Seven Attacks on Burma City, By DANIEL DE LUCE (Associated Press Staff Writer) Rangoon, Burma, Feb.6.\u2014(Æ3)\u2014 Rangoon, port for the Burma Road to China, was pounded by seven waves of Japanese bombers last night and this morning in their third successive overnight attack.Unofficial reports indicated that ten of the raiders were shot down and ten more probably damaged by British and American fliers of the ! hard-hitting Allied force which gave Japanese-held Paan, on the I Salween river, such a ruinous bombing yesterday that one fighter pilot likened the destruction to that at Coventry.British and Burmese troops holding the North-South Salween line were called upon by a Government spokesman to hold their ground at any cost because \u201cany further withdrawal will be dangerous.\u201d In the air attack on Rangoon six waves of bombers struck at the city by moonlight and another wave attacked at 9:30 a.m.Forty-four planes came over in the six waves.Fires were set in one suburban residential district and heavy explosions were heard to the North.Unofficially, Royal Air Force I fighters were reported to have ! driven off one wave of the night attackers, forcing them to jettison their bombs.One of the raiders was reported probably destroyed, since observers saw it pursued by a fight-jer and then saw a column of flame ; plunge earthward in the moonlight, j In the daylight raid, anti-aircraft iguns got another Japanese plane as HEPBUBN UNDER CRITICISM OF ONTARIO GROUP Liberal Members of

Prices and Trade Board announced today that Samuel Godfrey of Toronto has been appointed Administrator of Used Goods with wide powers over control of prices and supply.In announcing the appointment the Board emphasized \u201cit is a breach of the law to charge more than is reasonable and just for used goods\u201d and said it is prepared to take whatever action may be necessary to maintain the basic ceiling or enforce any specific orders which the administrator may make \u201cin respect of the supply or price of second-hand goods.\u201d Defining duties and powers of the new administrator, the Board statement disclosed he has authority to fix or approve any specific or maximum price for any second-hand goods.He may also: Require any seller or supplier to make sales or deliveries of secondhand goods to any person at prices he regards as fair and reasonable; Require any seller or buyer to can-:el any sale of second-hand goods made at a price which he considers other than fair and reasonable, or any sale considered undesirable by reason of the need of other buyers or prospecti e buyers to obtain sup- plies in reasonable amounts at reasonable prices; Require any person who has bought or obtained delivery of second-hand goods at an unreasonable price or in unreasonable quantity to assign or deliver them to any other person at prices which the administrator may determine as fair and reasonable.Mr.Godfrey also has power to prescribe or limit the kinds, models, types, qualities, sizes and quantities of any second-hand goods that may be bought, sold, supplied or distributed by any person, and to prohibit the purchase, sale, supply or distribution of any used goods except in accordance with such prescription or limitation.RENEW AIR LINE LICENCE Rio de Janeiro, Feb.6.\u2014(Æ1)\u2014The Ministry of Aeronautics yesterday authorized the Condor Syndicate to resume operations but specified it must first state the nationality of the company which United States Embassy officials declare maintains German connections.Condor officials say the line now is completely Brazilian.Condor stopped flights two months ago when North American companies refused to sell it any more gasoline.Ottawa, Feb.G.\u2014 ((P)\u2014Formal \u201cdisapproval\u201d of the actions of Premier Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario has been expressed by a caucus of Ontario Members of Parliament.At a meeting here last nignt during the dinner recess of the House of Commons, the caucus adopted a resolution which expressed belief of the meeting that Mr.Hepburn \u201cno Longer represents Liberalism in the Province of Ontario.It reaffirmed the members\u2019 loyalty to and confidence in Rt.Hon.W, L.Mackenzie King \u201cas Prime Minister of Canada and as leader of the Liberal party.\u201d Three reasons were given in the resolution for the disapproval expressed for Mr.Hepburn\u2019s actions: 1-\u2014For some years he had \u201cdirected his efforts towards embarrassing and insulting the Prime Minister of Canada.\u201d 2.\t\u2014At present he was trying to discredit and undermine the Government of Canada by \u201cimlicriminate and ill-considered criticism of the measures taken for the effective prosecution of the war.\u201d 3.\t\u2014Now he is \u201cseeking to defeat a Minister of the Crown who would be helpful to the Government and to the Canadian people at this critical time.\u201d Apparently this third reason was a reference to the February 9 bye-election in Welland constituency, w'here Mr.Hepburn is campaigning against Labor Minister Mitchell.He has been outspoken particularly in connection with Ontario\u2019s failure to obtain a licence for export of electric power to New York State, the St.Lawrence waterways question and more recently the war effort.Mr.Hepburn was a Member of the House of Commons and one of Mr.King\u2019s supporters from 1926 to 1934.Then he left the House to become Premier of Ontario, having led the Ontario Liberals to victory in the 1934 provincial general election.(By The Canadian Press) The field in four Federal bye-eler-tions scheduled for February 9 stood reduced by one today, as the remaining eleven candidates entered the peak drive of their campaigns.Retirement of Paul Latouche, Liberal anti-conscriptionist in Quebec East left the campaign in that riding as a straight battle between Justice Minister St.Laurent, and Paul Bouchard, Canadian Party standard-bearer.Latouche\u2019s withdrawal was announced last, night by Chief Returning Officer Ernest Godbout.By-products of the campaigns shared interest, with the campaigns themselves.Premier Hepburn of Ontario announced in Toronto that Mines Minister Robert Laurier had resigned from his Cabinet in \u201copposition to the fact that I am speaking in the York South bye-election on behalf of the Rt.Hon.Arthur Meighen.\u201d In Ottawa, a number of Liberal members of the House of Commons representing Ontario ridings passed a resolution of disapproval of the Premier, saying that he \u201cno longer represents Liberalism in the Province of Ontario.\u201d Meanwhile, the Liberal Premier continued his support of Conservative Leader Meighen in York South.In a radio address, Mr.Hepburn said that he was in agreement with Mr.Meighen\u2019k war policy although no one had fought the Conservative leader harder in the past \u201cso far ns matters of fiscal policy are concerned.\u201d \u201cWe all know the history of the Conservative party, and in its adherence to the British Crown and British connections it has never wavered.\u201d he said.\u201cCome what may, it^will demand a full-out war effort.With Mr.Meighen its leader in the Commons, it will be an inspired forçe to see that the Government gives Churchill and our allies a total effort and our enemies a total war.\u201d Mr.Meighen addressed a meeting in Forest Hill, claiming that the forthcoming plebiscite on conscription was alien to the British constitutional system.The plebiscite was a gross betrayal of the \u201cboys\u201d overseas, and Prime Minister King was destroying the unity of Canada by his action.\u201cYou can\u2019t fight wars by plebiscites, and you can\u2019t bring unity by plebiscites, the gravest disunity of a1! being between the nation at home and its defenders overseas.\u201d In Quebec East, Justice Minister St, Laurent told a meeting that the plebiscite would be held because \u201cMr.King wants to govern for the people and by the people, and adopt only measures that they approve.\u201d \u201cWe French-Canadians,\u201d he said, \u201cand most English-speaking people, J believe our efforts are due to Can-j ada first and foremost.There is another party, far too numerous, which believes that nothing has lx>on changed in our status.They believe that we are a conquered colony and that a conquered colony we must remain.\u201d The Justice Minister\u2019s opponent, Mr.Bouchard, told a campaign rally that hundreds of thousands of Canadians would \u201cdemand the independence of their country\u201d after the war I \u201cbecause our destiny is in A : erica.\u201d | Now was the time to think of a Fan-! American policy.Mr.Bouchard criticized the Dominion Government\u2019s action in mak-in ¦ a gift of $1,000,000,900 to Great Britain, and criticized Britain\u2019s Empire policy of the past, J.W.Noseworthy, C.C.F.standard-bearer and Mr.Meighen\u2019s opponent in York South, was not idle, and he had the support of C.C.F.Leader M.J.Coklwell last night.The war must be made a people\u2019s war, Mr.Noseworthy said, and \u201cthe people must be assu.ed that a world after the war will be planned which will not permit conditions that existed after the last war.\u201d Mr.Coklwell said that if Canada \\.to conscript men, industry and wealth should also be conscripted.The man with the rifle who won the last war must give place to technicians with machines,\u201d he said, \u201cSo far in this country many people have failed to grasp the significance of this basic fact; hence the misconception that total war means only the conscription of manpower and mainly for overseas service.Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell had the support of Navy Minister Macdonald in his campaign for election in Welland, where he is opposed by Douglas Watt, Independent, and Mark Kriluck, C.C.F.The plebiscite would be held no matter what happens in the Welland bye-election, Mr.Macdonald said, lie spoke twenty-four hours after Mr.Hepburn and Ontario Conservative Leader Lt.-Col.George Drew had suggested, while supporting Mr.Watt, that if the election went against the Government candidate, the Government might be forced to call a general election instead of the plebiscite.\u201cThe Government have taken a certain decision and they are going through with this plebiscite, and that\u2019s the end of that,\u201d the Naval Minister said.\u201cThe Government is going through with this decision whether Mr.Watt is elected here or not.\u201d Mr.Mitchell asked for support of the voters because \"I think I can Continued on Page 2, Col.2 URUGUAY PLANS EXPANSION OF NAVY STRENGTH Lease-Lend Assistance from United States Will Allow Uruguay to Patrol Strategic Coastline.Mont, video, Feb., Hebert Bruce (Con- spiring and educative picture of country was under orders \u201cto fight servative, Toronto-Parkdale).and Canada at war.The booklet is be-;he Japanese on every inch of our Ligouri 'Lacombe of Laval-Two 'nK' distributed throughout Canada soil, to the last shot and, if neces- Mountains who recently broke with and the United States free of charge, sary, to the last man.\u201d\ti the Liberal party because of opposi- copy can be secured on request.I hese onions wore given by tion to conscription represented two cntiie Production is C anadian Burma s Home Minister, Mating1 extremes, neither of which could\t^^uiused throug\u2019hout in a \\ ye, who'warned bluntly in a broad- bring unity to Canada, Canada ., et 'vhich is indeed a valuable cast Rut night that further with- needed a new birth of democratic' Huormatiye and inspiring record of drawal by the armed forces would faith and to ignore pledges and take Canada at war.be dangerous._\t, j action without consulting the people Quebec Power .St.Law.Oorp.St.L.Corp.\u201cA\u201d .St.L.Paper Pfd.Shawinigàii .Shervvin Williams Steel Co.of Can.11% B 12 A 1.65\t1.60 14\tB\t14% A 38 B\t41 A 13% B 13% A 15\tF.13% A 64 A EXPANSION IN EARNINGS FOR BROMPTON PULP FOREIGN EXCHANGE In Montreal yesterday the buying rate for United States dollars was 10 \u2019 per cent premium and the selling rate 11 per cent premium.Sterling 1 buying was 4.43 and selling 4.47.I Following were the nominal closing rates in New York: | Sterling\tClose Demand.4.03% Cables .4,03% !

the Ministry of Supply, headed by Sir Andrew Hae Duncan; and the supply departments of the War Office and the Air Ministry.A statement on this question will be made by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons next week.Mr.Churchill is a recent convert to the idea of centralized war production ministry, quite possibly having come around to this view during his long talks in Washington, for as recently as last July 29 he told the House: \u2018\u2018Who is to he this superman who, without holding the office of Prime Minister, is to exercise an over-riding control and initiative over the three Departments of Supply and the three Ministers of Supply?.When you have decided on that man, let me know his name, because 1 should he very glad lo serve under him .in the conduct of vast, nationwide administration there must he division of functions, and there must he proper responsibility assigned to the departmental chiefs.They must have the power and authority to do their work, and he able to take a proper pride in it when it is done, and be held accountable for it if it is not done.\u201d Now the Canadian-born Lord Beaverbrook has been chosen by the Prime Minister to exercise this function of \u201cSuperman.\u201d It may he assumed that the effort to he put forth will be prodigious.\u201cutility cloth\u201d must reach agreed standards of material and workmanship.For the average man or woman tin\u2022 means that he or she will be able to buy suits or dresses of first-rate material at the ¦\u2022arne price or even les-than they now are paying for poorer goods.The clothing coupon ratio is unchanged and a man will have to surrender twenty-six coupons for a1 suit, whether it be made from utility cloth or higher priced material.The order became effective Monday and in future clothing manufacturers will have to devote at least eighty per cent of their output to the utility scheme.Saville Bow, Bond firtreet and other luxury tailors, who cater to the expensive trade, will still be able to sell their high-priced garments, manufactured from the remaining twenty per cent, but it is predicted they will also offer for sale\u2014and at the same prices as the East End tailors- suits and dresses made from utility cloth.No restriction is placed on style and garments, some of which are already on display in London shop windows, show a wide variety with a good choice of colors and materials.The early fear that Britons might he wearing some uniform-like apparel before the war is over have been dispelled by the control scheme.Most shops are well stocked with pre-scheme material, but they are all expected to be selling utility garments by spring.It is believed the control scheme may soon he extended to include footwear.The luxury trade expressed little enthusiasm for the scheme but it should prove a boon to the ordinary consumer who will gain in total value\u2014 combining quality and price- about fifty per cent.FROM THE PEN OF E.T.WRITERS RUSSIA SEES A THREAT TO TURKEY While Russia is keeping the German forces busily engaged on the Eastern Front, the Soviet press, apparently smarting under (lie treacherous blow which was administered by the Nazis when the invasion of Russia started, takes time off to warn Turkey to \"keep its eyes open\u201d because Hitler \u201cis up to something in the Balkans.\u201d A Soviet commentator declares that Hitler plans to seize the Turkish-controlled Dardanelles as a gateway to the Caucasus and the Eastern Mediterranean, and cited three reasons for the warning lo Turkey: 1.\tThe arrival of Nazi Field Marshal Wilhelm List at Salonika, Greece; 2.\tThe return to Berlin of Franz von Papen, German Ambassador lo Turkey; 3.\t- The charge by Propaganda Minister Goeb-bels that Britain had given Russia a free hand in the Dardanelles.Foreign military experts at Berne, Switzerland, said the Russian-German campaign had entered a critical phase which would determine how strong a spring offensive Germany could launch when the winter breaks.These quarters said the Russians might well cripple the Germans if they could capture the key base of Novgorod, South of Leningrad; Vyazma, on the Smolensk Highway; and Orel and Kharkov, South of Moscow.Russian war reports indicated the Red Army was pressing hardest in three salients- West of Moscow toward Smolensk; in the South Central front between Kursk and Kharkov; and in the Donets Basin.The front runs roughly from below Leningrad through the Novgorod sector, thence around Lake Ilmen and toward Yelikie T.uki; back around Kzhev.then down to a point West of Kirov.From that sector it swung to the East of Orel, down to Kursk Kharkov, and to a bulge toward Dnieperopetrovsk.on the Dniepei Hiver, and then around to reach the Sea of Azov East of Taganrog.In this respect Russia\u2019s President Michael Kalinin proclaimed yesterday that \u201cthe hour is near when all of the occupied Soviet) republics will return to the family\u201d of the U.S.S.R., and declared that the Red Armies now are approaching the borders of White Russia, Latvia.Estonia and Lithuania.\u201cThe Germans never will recapture from the Red army the initiative which has been gained,\u201d Kalinin said, adding that Sovie' troops had thrown the invaders back 173 miles in some sectors.Kalinin's message, spread across the front pages of Soviet, newspapers, said that Hitler had sacrificed everything to realize his dream of capturing Moscow as Napoleon did in 1812 and that he would still pay heavily for it.THESE THINGS SPEAK PEACE TO ME Ah, many lovely things in life Around us we can see, To queil discordant notes of strife And solace you and me.Gay song-birds swinging on a bough, Squirrels chattering in a tree; I know not why, but oh, somehow These things speak peace to me.Sweet throbbing.?of a violin, A baby's winning smile.Soft sighing?, of the zephyrs in The pine trees me beguile.Rich sheen upon the blackbird\u2019s wing A robin\u2019s joyous note, Wh on calling to his mate in spring Can make cares seem remote.A crimsoned sunset after ram With storm-clouds black and daring, Should tell mankind all\u2019s well again And send the soul peace-faring.The murmur of a babbling brook The humming of a bee, A pansy bed in cloistered nook All whisper peace to me.An old homestead on country road With wild life running free, Depicting nature\u2019s safe abode Reflect sweet peace to me.The placid face of aged ones Who wait eternity, And count their days by setting suns, Ah, these speak peace to me.\u2014E.Mabel McLaren.Fitch Bay.PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MORE FRENCH PRESS Letters To The Editor CURRENTLY USED INVENTIONS Le Proprietaire, Montreal The modernity of most of the inventions which play so great a part in our daily lives is often forgotten until some relating event reminds us.The span of a single lifetime embraces the period during which most of these so-called modern miraclea were invented and developed.One does not have to be very aged lo remember when there were Mo such things as airplanes, radios, automobiles, electric street-cars and telephones\u2014to mention but a few inventions that today are accepted as though they always existed.Now comes news of the death of Stephen Henry Hoigan, inventor of the halftone engraving process, at Orange, N.J.On March 4, 1880, he startled the newspaper and engraving world by making the first halftone cut, which was published in the old New York Graphic.Before that, photographic illustrations could not be reproduced by letter-press printing methods\u2014 pictures in magazines and newspapers were confined to pen drawings and wood cuts.However, it was not until January, 21, 1897, that the New York Tribune carried the first halftone illustration ever printed on a web perfecting newspaper press.Mr.Horgan had suggested that this could bo done when he was art director of the New York Herald in 1893.The late James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the publisher, referred the suggestion to the superintendent of the pressroom, who decided that any person who thought halftone cuts could be used on a speeded newspaper press was an \u201cidiot.\u201d Thereupon Air.Bennett fired Mr.Horgan.Truly, a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country.The Record will publish letters from its readers which are considered in the public interest providing they bear the signature and address of the writer.Opinions expressed in this column are the personal views of the writers and not necessarily those of the Record.I> i' n Courtesy of the Windsor Daily Star.LABOR AND THE WHEELS OF AVAR Le Progrès de Hull It has just been disclosed that in Julv last strikes caused the loss of 85.000 working days in Britain\u2019s war industry.During the same period the ;

many seemed to be so superfluous\u2014that is many more than necessary, to say the least.2.\tCars\u2014We all wondered what special attraction was on when we arrived.There seemed to be so many as compared to London or any town on the other side.They get on very well without being able to drive to work and think nothing of walking two miles each way \u2014 including carrying a shopping basket, and 1 believe are better off for it.3.\tFood\u2014On the whole I would say consumption is about one-half what is considered necessary here, except for children who are allowed extra food.The result, I am told, is a greatly improved health record\u2014in spite of longer working hours and strain of air raids.Rationing of clothes has brought little hardship.The net result of this control has been increased savings and it all willingly goes to the Government to win this war.4.\tManpower\u2014As you are aware every man, woman, and even child, is doing something to speed up the war effort.Women are continually replacing men in industry\u2014making shells, etc., as well as actually helping to fire them.1 might add, every bit as well as their men folk.In addition they are taking their turn £^t home guard and A.R.P.work.I would say they average at least 84 hours a week, often more.It is, to say the least, rather a jolt to make comparisons.I am, however, satisfied our people are ready to do just as much if asked, and given the lead.We are continually i being told about what Canada is do-1 ing and what she will accomplish in : 1942 and 1943.In 'the meantime Hong Kong has gone, Singapore and Australia are sorely pressed, and our time in England may come at any moment.It is not a question of how much, but are we giving our utmost in men and dollars?1 believe you know the answer, and will give it NOW before it is too late.Think what a difference a few week: or months might have made in Russia and other points.If we are to win, everyone must do his utmost every hour of every day.AA'E ARE AT WAR and must act accordingly.The people realize it and must bring it home to our leaders NOAA\u2019\u2014-otherwise our sacrifices may well be in vain.Yours truly, C.A.O.tion of this victory was a victory! for air power as the spearhead of naval attack.The lesson is planes and more planes, before it is too late.: Do we in America realize the overwhelming need for haste in arming the Dutch East Indies?We do not, for we have not stripped ourselves to the task.Japan understands.Japan is working with desperate speed to close the water-gap between New McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority ADDITION OF JOKER TESTS EXPERT\u2019S SKILL IN BIDDING tached to the suit led.But he may not attach the joker to a suit of which he has previously shown void and discarded.Hence if he should One of the interesting pamphlets discard on a lead of trumps, he Guinea and Australia;

first, provide the Government with necessary funds; secondly, reduce the amount of money which might create a demand for non-essential goods, thereby decreasing the threat of inflation; and thirdly,! it gives to the.people of Canada; savings and investments, which will' ease the rigor of what might other-! wise be a very dififcult post-war! readjustment period, the speaker1 said.A strong Executive Committee toL , ,\t^ sponsor the Second Victory Loan ;

unusual difficulties need be en-! countered if reasonable care is! taken.The carp and feeding of the sow! during the gestation period always' play an important pan in the suc-| cess attained in raising satisfactory! litters.F.xeveiso must be provided! and many farmers are improperly, equipped to deal with this problem easily during the winter.The use of eahiiis for breeding stock, not only provides cheap housing, but makes it relatively easy to assure sufficient exercise.Minerals am! vitamins arc always important in the ration of the brood sow and during the winter, those nutrients are likely to be deficient since the pigs do not come in as much contact with the earth, and green feed from pastures is not available.The rations must, therefore.be fortified to overcome these deficiencies.Good quality legume hay will partly compensate for the lack of green feed, Tne feeding of a reliable brandi of cod liver oil is recommended to supply vitamins.This can be fed at the rate of a tablespoonful per sow, per day, or if preferred can be incor.pointed in the meal mixture in the proportions of one pound of oil per 100 pounds of meal.There are slill farmers who neglect to use mineral supplements in their meal mixtures.An adequate supply of certain mineral elements is essential for winter feeding of sows 'luring the gestation period.Reliable commercial mixtures are available from most feed dealers, or if found more economical, a mixture ran be made up at home.The mixture that, is being used at the Dominion Kx-Iperiniontal Station, Lennoxville, |Que., is as follows: Feeding bono meal or bone char .50\tpounds Ground limestone .23\tpounds Fine salt,.25\tpounds Ferric oxide.2\tpounds Potassium iodide.2\tounces The potassium iodide is incorporated in this mixture by dissolving It in warm water (about.1 ounce per cupful of water) and sprinkling the solution over the bone char, pvovi ous to mixing.The supplement is added to the meal mixture at the rate of 3G .The protein part of the ration is liable to be neglected on some farms.Where skim-milk is available the problem of protein supplement is solved.Without skim milk it is I necessary to use some of the high protein concentrates to balance the ration.The following protein supple.Iment has been used successfully at the.Lennoxville Experimental .Station : iTankage\t.50\tpoundsi i Fish meal.26\tpounds Linseed oil\tmeal.25\tpounds ' For sows during the gestation per-1 iod, this supplement, is used at the! rate of 12'.;.of the meal mixture.While excessive fleshing is undesirable in the ease of breeding stock, the tendency on the part of many fi rmers is to the other extreme.In order for a sow to meet the food re-, quirementg of the unborn pigs and to build up a reserve that will permit her to produce sufficient milk to nurse, the litter satisfactorily after birth, liberal feeding is necessary.Improper feed and the lack of sufficient.exercise is the cause of many weak litters.Improve the chances of success this year by giving the brood sows the necessnry care!
