Warblo Fly Campaign

The shipment of orders for warble Fly Powder have been go- ing out by express and through the mails this week and practical- ly. the entire quantity should be in the hands of the proper per- sons by the last of the week.

On or about April 10th would seem to be the proper time for the first treatment. with the second troatrnent coming from twenty- one to twenty-eight days later.

sufficient powder has been shipped out to treat 30.000 head of cattle.

Taxes On small Farms

Present systems of levying taxes for school purposes tend to penal- ize the small family farm and favour the larp.Pl' land owner who has acquired additional farms and not requiring the buildings there- on. has removed them. or allowed than to fall into a state of dis- repair.

The family size farmer is usual- ly interested in makini: improve- ments nnd building up his prop- erty so that it will be a more sot.- isfactory place to live. This adds to community progress but it also means higher tax valuation.

We feel that the present system and formula used by the Land Valuation Board in the rural school districts could be reviewed with the idea of correcting the disparity that exists in the vain- ation on small well equipped farms and holdings of large size but with modest buildings.

Subsidies

some people and some newspap- ers either believe or are trying to make us believe that the farmer is the only one receiving subsidy or payment frcm the public treasury.

For the information of those who are promoting the idea-and also those who may believe it. we might mention the following amounts paid by the Dominion Government during the fiscal year 1949-50:

45,659,588 for administrative costs and contributions to Unem- ployment insurance. It may be noted that this amount covered no work or productive cffort of any kind on the part of the recipients. In the same year the Federal Government. paid pensions (non-contributory) to 114 judges- ciose to 1-2 million dollars. In the form of subsidies to gold mines nearly 14 million was paid out to gold mines and 38 of the largest of these made a not profit in 1949 of 3lti.il)0.000.

The foregoing are just a few of numerous instances of assist- ance to other groups by Federal authorities.

Farln Labour s

Twin problems confronting farm- ers in the cooling season are scar- city of labour and high costs of

hanization. '

A partial solution of the prob- lem can be provided by the co- operative purchase and use of ex pensive equipment by groups of farmers. The pooling of available labor supplies together with the use of heavier equipment is cert- ainty worthy of consideration.

Success in ventures of this kind depend on a genuine spirit of ncighborliness and a realization of common interest.

Eastern Feed Conference

The semi-annual meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agricult- ure held in Fredericton last Sep- tember devoted much time to a. discussion on distribution and costs of Western grain in Eastern Canada. Mr. H. H. Hannon is at present in western Canada ob- taining information and suggest- ion from producer organizations with the view to working out a more satisfactory arrangement.

It is planned in the near future to hold in Montreal is meeting of those interested in the handling of Western grains in the East. West- crn people have indicated their willingness to send representatives to the meeting.

Trade with Newfoundland has in the past been of consioerauie value to Prince Edward island. It is not usual .for us to complain of decreased freight rates but a de- crease in railroad freight rates to Newfoundland markets is likely to prove harmful rather than beneficial to the Island farmers. Our competitors in Central Can- nda will be in a position to move their products to the new prov- ince. It is also possible that wat- er shipment from the Province might be curtailed thus making our ports less attractive places for ships to call. Just what develop- ments are likely to take place, in movement of our products to Newfoundland, time will tell. i

Price Control a Inflation

The cost of living index has re- cently shown a marked increase. and will no doubt pccvixle labor with a grounds for further in- crease in wages. and still further inflationary tendencies. As early as last fall the Canadian Federat- ion of Agriculture advised the setting up by the Federal Govern- ment of a. combined effort to study the question of price con- trols. and with a view of protect- ing Agriculture in any systmi of price control that might be advis- able, and to deal with inflationary questions. It remains to. be seen whether the Federal Government's attempt to control inflaticn by in- creased taxes. by restrictions on installment buying, and tighten- ing of credit, will produce the de- sired results.

Sugar Beet Industry

From time to time the "suggest ion has been made that the pos- sibility of establishing the sugar Beet industry in this province should be considered. In Canada at the present time. the industry is found in four Provinces. Manitoba. Alberta. Quebec. and Ontario. In the 1950 crop year sugar beet farmers received approximately 317,000,000 for their crop. The Can- adian bank of Commerce Coni- mercial letter for the month of February deals extensively with the develop t of this industry in Canada. It is quite apparent that the manufacturing of sugar from best is one that has experi- enced many difficulties. one of the greatest of these difficulties being the high cost of processing and refining plants. The last plant built at Taber. Alberto. having cost over To those who are interested in increasing their knowledge of this question. we suggest a study of the Commercial letter mentioned above.

OPTAWA -- The Government

(rolled out the red carpet here to-

day. both literally and figurative- ly. on the occasion of the first visit to Canada of a President of France.

During their four and one-half days in Canada, President Vincent Auriol and his wife are being ac- corded the nation's Number One

.reception.

It started this morning. when their special train from New York backed slowly into Ottawais iUn- ion Station and the presidential courple alighied onto a specially- built platform.

The engineer was instructed to take it easy. Protocol people here still (shudder when they recall how he engineer of Mine. Chiang Kai-Sh.ek's train .backed in so boisterously that he clipped the ceremonial platform and sent it flying. red carpet and all.

Auriol's schedule, which includes visits to Toronto. Quebec and Montreal as well as Ottawa, is the most elaborate the protocol boys have had to arrange for a visiting VIP since the King and Queen came to Canada 12 years ago. But no matter how well arranged a schedule is. the human element does at times cause things to go awry.

After a welcome by the Gover- nor General and Lady Alexander. the Prime Minister and Mrs. St. Laurent, and all the capital's high brass, the Guard of Honor is the next step in the ceremony of tell- ing our VIP visitors what great people we think they are.

Usually that goes off smoothly. But a certain young military ol- ficer prolbsibly will never forget President Tru-man's visit four years ago. He was commander of the guard. His men were drawn up at Rideau Hall Gate, but stand- ing at east. when the President's car drove up. The Commander was so flustered that he forgot

the essential command "Guard- 'shun!" Before ordering ”Slope arms." The result: confusion.

Protocol calls for a 21 salute for heads of state like Auriol; 1.9 guns for Prime Ministers. But Premier Liaquat Ali Khan of Pak- isiran got an unorothodox 20 be- cause I big R.C.A.F. North Star backfired right in the middle of the artillery salute at Rockclitfe Airport.

The bands won't have any trou- ble with the Marselllaise during Auriol's visit. But the musicians were baffled by Pakistani music to honor Liaquat Ali. And the caril- loneur in the Peace Tower play- ed Rimsky-l(orsalrow's "Song of Indian" in Ali's honor. apparently unaware of the ill feeling between Pakistan and India.

The Auriols are getting the works: luncheon at Government House. an address to both Houses of Parliament, a reception by the Speakers of Parliament, a wreath laying at the National War Mem- orial. chats with the Prime Min- ister and Foreign Minister Pear- son. and dinner and a reception at the French Embassy. Schedules at Toronto and Quebec are similar, with the Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario and Quebec doing the honors.

Those are the bare bones of the schedule. when the protocol peo- ple are through, however, the skelton is dressed up as elaborate- ly as possible with flowers. lim- ousines. flags. police, escorts. honeyed words, the finest of foods and liquors, and cheering crowds.

The last: is perhaps the most dif- ficult to arrange - at any rate, in Ottawa. The people of the capital have seen so many foreign notables come and go in the last decade that they're a little blase. So the govermnent usually gives its civil servants s half-rholiday. to make sure there will be a suffici- ently impressive crowd lining the street to cheer the great man as he drives by.

m....m.-......:.....: meeting of the Central Farmers Institute will be held in the Vo- cational school on the afternoon of Tuesday. April 17. As a. feature of this meeting it is planned to have a panel discussion on grass land farming and grass ensilage. Notices of the meeting will ap- pear in the press in due time. Election C sign

while the Federation of Argrl- culture is I non-political organi- zation this does not mean that its members are not expected to take interest in political issues, and poliical campaigns. At the pres- entation of the Federation's Brief. recently it was suggested by the leader of the Government that the Federation members should interest themselves in local politi- cal organizations with the view of developing interest and improving

conditions therein. A healthy democracy depends upon an act- lve. interested, electorate. The

Federation does not advise anyone how to vote. but docs suggest that its members shouldrvote find help in correcting any abuses which

may exist in political organizat- ions. TORONTO. Aprll 5 -(CP) -

In Scandinavia, marriages ug- "ally take place during the sum- mes: months so that people may be invited for miles around. wed- dinss and funerals are made an occasion for a certain amount of it-miietlns. and when all is over and the mourners and the wedding guests have feasted to their heart's 0?-ntent. it. sometimes happens that the day will close with an old-fashioned hoe-down .. at which nobody feels the slightest shock of surprise!

NCTWBY has a curious little ro- dent called the leeming, which is found in no other country. Every five, ten or twenty years, n vagt army of leemings descends from the mountains to devour the crops of the plains. Nothing stand; 1n their way of march until they reach the sea-coast. Then plung- 1118 into the sea they swim onward until they perish. Naturalists tell us that these rodents believe they are seeking fresh pasture when they plunge into the waves.

The Spaniard has an amusing Way of ending his letter to a friend. He will end his eputle thus: "I am your very affection- ate and loyal servant. who kisses your hand.”

The old-fashioned st. Bernard dog was a cross between a Pyren- ean sheep-dog and a Newfound- land. The monks of the Order of st. Augustine have bred these dogs ever since the year 9'10; thcse brave and wise animals whose task it was - and still is - to rescue travelers lost. in the. deep snows and fierce tem-pests that rage here at a height of 8,110 feet above sea-level.

owing to the flatness of the country. you see more of the sky in Holland than in any other country in the wcrld. And no people in the world are so neat and clean as the inhabitants of this flat, fascinating little patch of coun- try on the very margin of the North Sea. Their trees are plant- ed in avenues as straight as their canals. and are manicured so nicely that not a branch is out of place.

The Holland people have an over fondness for Lady Nicotine, in the form of huge cigars, and the tra- veler often gazes with amazement at small boys smoking cigars al- most as large as themselves.

There's one place in the world where you can't see a single bird. No siree. The place is the Dead sea. and there used to be a leg- end that no bird could fly across its intense blue waters. The most logical reason, however. why birds avoid the Dead sea area is that it contains no fish, and no shrubs or trees around its salt crusted frin- gas. The desolate valley which holds the Dead sea is the deepest depression in the world. A Canadian christening is a simple affair compared to the els- borate ceremony carried out in C. ::ce. There the poor baby must endure a whole hour of rituals. ending by the priest blowing three times in the face of the infant to ward off evil spirits. and whose gcd-parents smear it all over with

mal font.

Attending church is another crdeal to which our people would complain loudly. No chairs. or pews, and the worshippers are obliged to stand nearly all the time while the priests chant. and the acolytos swing glowing censors from which blue. curling fumes of incense ascend.

Nobody had much of an answer for the age-old question "What will we have for dinner?” in Granny's time. She was tied by seasonal products and to the basic ingredients with which she roasted, fried and baked.

Canadian manufacturers have done much towards relieving kitchen drudgery. Better cooking methods, better tools, canned and frozen goods, semi-prepared foods -- all have helped to provide the demand of the harassed housewife -LEISURE TIME.
