HGRICFLTITIL-i L SFRVEY

An authoritative bulletin on the agricultural situation in Canada (prepared Februaryg i934; has been issued Jointly by the Dominion De- partmenls of Agriculture, and Trade and Commerce. It represents the first attempt of its kind to present in concise form a review of do- mesik: and foreign demand and competition and lo analyse the fac- tors affecting the supply of, and the demand for, particular farm products. Issued at n. time when farmers are making pllfis for the ensuing year. i; is hoped that the ieport WiII be of assistance, the in-

co-ordinate, rather than displace. reports dealing with current in- formation that are issued periodi- cally by different departments. Each phase of agricultural activ- __ fly is dealt with in the bulletin.

indication that Prim diiflnl 1W4 will b; at least as good u in 1m.

The home demand for Canadian ypoultry arid eggs during the last ‘five years has been maintained re-

llalively well. Canada a. the highuf- [per eapita consumer of eggs. With ‘the attention that has been given Ito the grading of dressed poultry land eggs during the past few W!" I'll. seems more than likely that the lCanadian export trade will oontinue Ito increase.

I ‘The available information on ‘the dairy situation in Canada," says the bulletin, “would indicate that total milk production dun!!! the present year will remain prac- tically the same as in i933." Domestic tonmmpiiur: 0f ill-II’! products will likely be maintained ‘and might be expected To show a slzght insrease if genera‘. economic conditions continue to improve dur- ing the coming months. The rior- ma‘. increase iii population wil. al- so be a farlor in maintaining con- Isumptiorr. The possibilitjv of restric- ‘lions on imports of dairy products into the United Kingdom would suggest that ii would be advisable for Canadian producers to develop home consumption as uiuch as pos- sible. It would also seem to be an advantageous time to improve the average level of Canadian dairy herds by eliminating unprofitable toils‘, b) using well cl} sires, and only rarsuig, for lll--- ilwdiliimn heifcrs from the higher producing cows. The initiation of such a pol- icy durlng the immediate future would relieve the market of a COll- slderable qufitiiy of milk that is being produced at a loss under the present level of prices for dairy products.

Note is made of the fact that the mayor commercial arcas pro- ducing table stock iuniips for ex- port are in Ontario and Prince Edward Isiarid. In the calendar year i933, exports amounted to i,- 96i,7'l‘a bushels as compared with i.963.i68 bushels in i932. it seems advisable to suggest little change in turnip acreage for i934.

- "The production of certified seed potatoes in Canada in 1933," says the bulletin, “was the smallest in some years. Since harvest, the crop has also been considerably reduced by frost, especially in the Mari- times. While the usual Cuban de- mand is limited, there has been a strong early season market in the United States. The i933 crop in the latter country was very short and a continued demand for Can- adian seed is to be expected. Can- adian farmers intending to plant potatoes in i934, especially Irish Cobblers. should reserve their seed rcquirenants soon, as the spring demand will probably exceed the supply.

"Farmers usually respond to liigh- er- prices by increasing acreage, but a materially increased acreage in the commercial areas in i934 may have a. depressing effect on prices. Plantings shOiiId be confined to favoured areas and where good seed is obtainable. Available cvl- dence suggests that there has been little change in the domestic oon- siimpiiori of potatoes and an aver- age production from a moderately higher acreage will probably be absorbed in 1934-35 without much change in prices."

The bulletin notes that United Stairs aiiihorities forccast a 2 poi‘ ccrit expansion if‘. 1934 potato acre- age compared with the i933 lcvel and that forthcoming supplics will be sufficicrlt m meet normal de- mands.

MR. KING'S RECORD

Speaking lo the House of Com- mom recently the bill incorporat- ing the proposed Bank of Canada, Mr. Mackenzie King said: "The main purpose of a Central Bank is. and ought m be, to protect the public, It is, and should be, a Clov- ernment bank, the Government be- ing representative of zhe interest of the public.

"The Oppmftion leader," says the Mail and Bnpire, “should be an authority on the question of Fed- eral public ownership. it wan his administration which abused m authority over the Canadian Na- tional Rlailwaya lo increase lhe na- tior; obligations by nearzy a500,- wiuiw, and tho consequent deficit on the system to staggering propor- tions.

A further expenditure of $0.0M,- fl on a Canadian National tenn- inal at tlintreai was the last com- ailment Illde by the old tratlai. and it was one of these cancelled by tnvvrwlii Federal Government. Ir. 3gb sapwieaoe

if then this form of rheumatism causes 80 per oent of the heart dis- case in young P917919 ‘Vmch "inns many deaths and many hearts crip- pled for life, what should be done about it?

The first point to remember is that this disease usually starts as a sore throa‘. or tonsilitis, so that if sore throw‘; and tonsllitis are ircat- ed properly, or what is more im- portant, ii rorc throats and tonsill- ‘US arc prevented, then this scourge {might be brought under control.

It is unfortunate that when an allack of inflammatory rheumatism occurs it may be so long after the rrlzacl; of sore throat or tonsilitls that the throat ailment, as a cause, rrliiy llBVCl bc considered at a1.

Your doctor will tell you that niliny cases of sore throat and ton- slllitrs arc duc to overeating and constipation; iri fact, before using any local rcmcdics on the throat a do>c of Epsom sails is given to cleanse out the intestine and re- niovc as much water Irom the sys- tem as possible.

Oilicr cases are due to the bad condition of the tonsils themselves wirich instead of acting as filters to purify the blood, actually put pols- on Tnio tlic blood. It is this poison due to harmful organisms which is bclrcvcd to be the cause of inflam- matory rheumatism.

The region of Wrangcl Island. wherein scvcral countries have sought or claimed dominion over an icy speck of Arctic land off the Si- berian Coast, grows more definitely Russian, says the New York Times. At least fifteen American, English and Canadian lives have been lost trying to establish symbols of sov- ereignty there. Russir, in addition to setting up a military post and LldlO station on the island, now contributes her own measure of gallantry by sea and air to clinch possession.

The Soviet freighter Chclyuskin, which was crushed in the ice re- cently, leaving 101 person; on the flocs, was attempting to make the first one season voyage between Archangel and Vladivostok, and lirid stopped at Wrangcl to take off l-he Wife and baby of the comman- der- of the settlement, and the wife of the radio operator, who was about to bear a child The child was born on the ship before she sank. Now Russian aviators have taken off fen wcxnen and the two children.

Originally, Wrangei was come up- on accidentally. Captain Kellet of the British Navy ‘was seeking trace of the explorer Franklin when he Sighted it, reported it and got it on British maps in red. That was in i849 Nothing more waa done about it until 1867, when Captain Long, an American wnalcr, found it and, thinking rt new, called it for Wran- fiurbcd. Then Russians landed, in i911

Bin-The local Liberal lie machine ia not high powered enough to atti- piy the demand and a l. O. l. call to the Halifax Chronicle has lea- ponded with an excellent brand of fabrication stuff.

New Zealand butter is the subject and, per custom Hon. B. B. Ben- nett's alleged promises the target. The Conservatives in 1030 denoun oed in emphatic terms the Liberal duty of one oent per pound under which Canada was flooded with mil- lions of pounds of New Zealand blit- ter making our creameries to stag- ger under a giutfl market and a 17c. rice.

Pr fer Bennett promised to in- crease this duty and protect Canad- ian dairymen. He lmpleme ‘ ’ that promise by an 8c. per pound duty on imports. with reciprocal treaty duty. under special restrictions against dun-ping, to New Zeaiand of 5c. per pound. The result has preserved the Home markets for our dairyrnen. prices and sales firmed up to around 30c, and the Chronicle has the un- adulterated gall to try and scuff its own readers, and those of the local organ here, with a glaringly colored fabrication of the Conservative pol- icY.

It is to be hoped the butter pro- ducers in this Province will note the urgent demand of these, Liberal spokesmen for a return from the 5c. duty of today to that delightfully helpful Mackenzie King duty of 1c. per pound. That ia what they are whineing after. Do our farmers want it?
