arrawa. May 24—:Background of changes in the duties on gasoline was given the House of Commons today by Conservative leader Ben- nett. He said the former consu- ntive Government had referred gasoline tariffs to the tariff board following the arrival of two car- K°es of oil. one from Rournania and one from Russia. They were billed as a-ude oil in a natural state but infact consisted or crude oil mixed with high grade refined gasoline.

It was dimcult to deal with such a case which involved a defrauding of the customs revenue if the all was admitted free of duty as crude. The new tariff rare imposed a duty on high grade crude oil and would meet the situation. When the tariff on gasoline was increased in 1930 it was to prevent distres gasoline entering Canada and the tariff board had now found that purpose would he served by a lower duty. The oil companies in 1930 had undertaken not to increase prices in consequence of the tariff. T'hey had not done so. The only price changes were due to changes in the price of crude oil. J, J. Kinley (Lib. Queens-Lunen- burg) said there was room for com- petition in the gasoline business in Nova scotia. Crude oil was brought in to Halifax and refined at tide- water. The gasoline, was then shipped to Montreal and sold there for less than the prices charged in Halifax. 1-ion. Chas. Dunning, minister of finance said fears had been ex- pressed the railways would take ad- vantage of a reclassification in the tariff to impose higher rates on high grade crude oil. Such rates would be more injurious to small refineries than the duty on high grade crude. To clear this up Mr. Dunning read a letter from the Canadian Nations} Railways assuring them there would be no such move. The freight rates were international rates and it was stated action by the American railways concerned was unlikely although no assurance of that could be given. The railways, it was stated. would continue to handle genuine crude oil at the old rates but they would as in the past charge gaso- line on artificially altered crude oil 'I‘he.V would not can-y."doctorcd“ crude, containing a. high percent- age of gasoline or almost pure gasoline. at crude oil rates. The gasoline items in the tariff . changes than passed quickly.

Pension Policu

will provide the regular income she will need

_’. Every business and professional woman would do well to face this problem: Since I cannot work all my life, what should I do about an income for my later years?

.. Here is the solution: An Imperial Pension Policy will pay you a certain definite income every month after you reach the age you want it to commence.

In addition, it guarantees" that, should you die at any time before your montuy paymentsystart, all the money you have saved will be paid to anyone you name.

Ovcrprodu ctlon in "Rayon Goods cliiaed

(C. 1'. By Guardian’: Booohl Wlto)

MONIREAL. May 24—8ven he- iore Japanese goods made serious inroads in the dorn'\‘lu market. there had been a large overpro- ductlon of rayon goods in Canada. G. Blair cordon, managing direct- or of Dominion Textile Company. told the Turgeon textile commis- sion today.

The over-production. Mr. Gordon said, was not in the sense of build- ing up large stocks which could not be sold but "rather a dlstreasf ‘ price situation with merciless cut- ting."

Evidence from Mr. Gordon and C. A. Bishop, comptroller and chief statistician Of the company. ended the present sittings of the commis- sion in Montreal. The commission will sit at Valleyfleld next Zmesday to investigate Montreal Cottons, Limited. and will return to Mon- treal later for further sessions.

Getting The Best of Weeds in Lawn

"Dandelion-fighters" at last have the inside story on how to eliminate unsightly weeds from their lawns.

The way to,do it, specialists say, is by building up the grass itself. For weeds thrive where the turf is thin or in a weakened condition. An early spring feeding with a. complete plant food will give the grass a quick, vigorous start. and produce a thick turf with a. strong root system that is hard to pene- trale.

Then. if the weed should gain entry. the well developed Brass turf and roots crowd it so as to hinder growth.

Lighter feedings of plant food at intervals of 6 to 8 weeks will keep the grass in a healthy, thriving condition.

Frequent mowing is helpful in checking the top growth of the weed. The "bleeding" which takes vplnoe at the cutting supplements the work of the strong grass roots in weakening the weed until it is finally eliminated.

So if you would have a weed-free lawn. select the plant food now of a reliable manufacturer now. And on with the battle! You'll find it easy to use plant food. Just follow the simple directions which come with each package.

Crops That Will Control Weeds

(Experimental Farrm; Note) .. Certain crops will control weeds effectively if every possible pre- c2ut‘rm is taken to insure a good stand.

Barley. early maturing oats for H1111 and grcenfeed, rape and cereals for annual pa5t,ure_ gray and legume hay crops. and fall rye are all crops which if good stands are setnblished. can compete with weeds if proper attention is given to rail prcnarction. choice of good seed, and other good farming prac- zcet.

O‘.Jsz-rvntions made in supervising experiments at the Dominion Ex. pzrimental Station, Locombe. Al- berta. have shown that ploughing down weeds seeds which are near ihe surface of the ground is a bad practice because it quickly resu‘ts in land becoming so wcedy that it is impossible to grow a clean and profitable wheat crop. It was also observed that if clean seed of barley, or an early maturing variety of cats for grain or greenfeed, is sown on spring ploughing delayed until weed seeds have been germin- ated. a reasonably clean crop can be produced in land badly contam- inated with weeds.

Weedy land to be used for these crops should receive shallow sur- face cultivatlon in the fall and spring in order to promote the ger- mination of weed seeds that grew with the pr-eceed‘ -g crop and were distributed during harvesting op- erations. Pioughing this gurrnca tilled land immediately before seeding s-mother crops such as bar- ley or oat greenfeed will destroy the seedlings to the annual weeds. and

if worked down right away. will put the soil in ideal condition to receive the seed and promote the quick and uniform germination es- sential in a satisfactory smother crop.

Land which has received shallow surface cultivation in the fall and spring. and is ploughed the first week in June and kept tilled until the middle of June and then seeded with alfalfa. sweet clover, or any of the numerous grass and legume hay or pasture mixtures, will pro- duce a hay crop so heavy that weeds cannot compete with it. Re- peated cutting, such as given ai- ralfa, will reduce the vigor of per- sistent perennial weeds such as Canada thistles.

Winter rye. seeded on land that has been summerfallowed until August. or even stubbled in before September 15 following an early maturing grain crop. will develop such an early rank growth that even our worst perennial weeds are largely smothered.

An annual pasture of two bushels of oats and one bushel of winter rye per acre. or a seeding of two to four pounds of rape in thirty-six inch rows, when grand with live stock will leave the land cleaner than it was before the crop was grown.
