TOTTAWA LETTER

i By Robert L. Cotton (Special to the Guardian)

OTTAWA, Sunday evening. Jan. 25th. - Having satLsfied the de- mands of my Anglican upbringing by at-texdiiig St. John's Church this morning where the Governor Gen- eral read the lessons and the rec- tor ln his sermon had u. dig at, the Government, for lack of forthright- ness on the manpower Issue, I went this evening to ltettr Rev. T, C. Douglas, member of Parliament from one of the Saskatchewan con- stitueiicies.

Am not. sure whether s minister of the Gospel was ever elected for one of the Maritime seats. Out, in the West it is not utiusttal. There may be others besides Mr. Douglas in the present House. But you nev- er Iiear them designated as “Rev- creiice" up on Parliament Hill.

Mr. Douglas is n Baptist, a real preacher with a fine gift of imagery and a fttnti of applicable stories to (irive home his points. It stetiicd Strange to heat" liitn. from the same United Church platform which Grat-tan O‘I.ear_v had occupied one evening last. week, elucidating more emnhsttlcallv a point which the Cailolic Irishman had stressed. namely the tlesirabilltyi and need of seeking outside o1‘ self something to lake firm hold of in these times of stress when the war on nerves continues tinceasingly with such deadly effect.

At this sF-rvlce the newly elected officers of the Young People's Un- ion of the eltureli were fotsmally in- stalled for their yccrls work. But here as in most oJtcr churches DOW-ii-(lﬂjki the young people seem- ed to be rather conspicuous by their absence. It was mostly the old-tim- ers who were helping to install the youthful office holders.

On Saturday. a sprlngilke day I spent, the afternoon at the Experi- mental Farm and on the wiiy out saw a few of the thousands of new homes vliich have been built since I was here last. Some of them are nice to lock at and it lot tnore noth- ing to write home about. I (lccideci that it ntttst keep some cf the civil servants pretty busy paying their rent and taxes and car fare.

At. the ftimi at this tint»: of year there ls naturally not so much to etitertain its there in spring, summer ct" autumn. In the fne large glass houses I “'11s niuelt iii- tcrested in tlwz extierltiietits in plant; breeding and also in the flowers and plants being grown In sand. gravel and ashes fed only by tneans of chemical solutions potirezt on at regular itit-rrvztls. Fine hetiltliv look- ing growth id gorgeous blooms. In one se n many experimznts were utidertvav crossing the verv early but very stnnll tomatoes with others of good table size in an en- deavour to develop n satisfactory table tomato which will ripen in the shortest possible growing sen- son.

Probably no branch of live stock ls of such general interest. and im- portance just. now as pork produc- tion. The big pig ltottse at- the farm is therefore being fully utilized. In the "growing" pens different, ts vcere getting differing rations. the proportions being posted up on each pen and these tests were all trying out wheat mixed with other grains in varying quantities. I cottldirt. me mitt-h difference between those get- ling very little wheat in the TﬂilOH and those getting a great deal. But. the scales at killing time will tell the tale.

In the farrowlng pens there were tlte greatest. lot of little suckling pltzs that I have ever seen in one building. For the feeding tests it is nattii"a11_v tlCSiftlble to have a large number of pigs of approxi- mately the same age. So they ar- range accordingly-well, u nearly as they can. Apparently they have brood sows pretty well under eon- trol because lit all the pens the

litters were ot about the same num- ber. ten to twelve. while the Oldest were just two weeks of age and the youngest liad come along the night before. All are Yorksliires.

POTATO PRICES

S1r,-’I‘he appointment of a "Board" to control prices rather than have them run wild as they dld 1n the last war. was a wise more, as was also the decision to exempt potatoes from the price ceil- ing. At. 2 cts per 1b. estimating that a. person would consume a half pound at a meal they tire a cheap article of diet and would only amount to 1 ct. In the make up 0f a meal.

Owing to the very low price of the tarociuct- during 1040 and 1941 and the poor crop of the 1185B Sea" son, farmers are not. liable to be un- duly enriched over an advance in the price of potatoes.
