Mr. Jones’ Resolution It is significant that the Dairymen’s As- boeiation has passed a resolution petitioning the Dominion tiovcrnincnt t0 adopt some scheme.

by bonus or otherwise, that would stimulate

greater production of cheese and thus relieve the surplus butter problem, and that one of our Liberal legislative members, Mr. J. Walter Jones, was sponsor and mover of the TCSOlIIIlOII.

1t will be recalled that ih 1935 .l1is was the policy pursued by the Bennett Government, $1,00o.o00 being placed in the Estimates for the year for the purpose of paying a bonus of 1 1-4 to 1 1-: cents a potmd, through the cheese factories direct to the farmers, from the 1st of July to the 1st of ]ahuary, 1936.

The measure passed, but not without bitter opposition from Liberal members. Hon. W. D. Euler, present Minister of Trade and Coni- mcrce, argued: “In thcir ignorance the farmers 8V0 producing too much bit/tor.’ By the templa- tion of a bonus you are going to get them to product.- more cheese. What argument is there against the application of this principle to 'any other production, 1 do not care who! it is?" Hon. Fernand Rinfret, present Secretary of State, denounced the Government for spending money in this "very irresponsible manner,” and said all that was needed to solve the problem was "good tariff conditions and good govern- biiiii." l\Ir. w. A. Fraser (Liberal, N0rl£llum~ berland) declared that "if there war ever an in- stance of pork barrel rolling, it is this vote of $1,000,000!’ Mr_ E. I. Young (Liberal, Wey- burn) urged the Minister "to abandon this pol- icy at once and got back to the point when: all our prices will be based on the price: of export commodities." Mr. J. F. Pouliot (Liberal, Temiscouata) suggested that the vote be reduced by $975,000, as he believed all that was neces- sary was for the Government "to advise the people to eat more cheese.”

The debate extended over some twenty- five pages of Hansard. Not one Liberal voice was raised in favor of the bonus, though its purpose and necessity were fully explained by Agricultural Minister Weir, and also by Mr. Iohn H. Myers, who stressed the need of com- pensating the farmer for the loss 0f skim milk by-products, as a means of diverting production from butter to cheese, for which there was a good market in the Old County. .

The effect of the Conservative bonus prov- ed beneficial but unfortunately it was discon- tinued after the change of government at Ot- tawa.

It is to be hoped that Mr. Jones, with the influence he has with our Federal Finance Min- ister and through him with the rest of the King Cabinet, will be able to persuade the pow- ers that be at Ottawa that the Conservative pol- icy which they opposed in 1935 is one which should be restored in the interests of our dairy producers. Last year's enormous butter surplus, added to the millions of pounds which were

ermitted to be imported from Australia and cw Zcalatid, had a ruinous effect 0n prices, and unless something is done to relieve the situation, the backbone of our farm industry will receive a blow from which it- may take years to recover.

An Expensive Minister

Agricultural Minister Gardiner’s $48,000,- 000 wheat pcggitig policy, which he admitted in Parliament to have been a "mistake," is

' much llic largest, but by no means the only ex-

traragaticc, this Saskatchewan member of the King (jovcrhtncht incurred since taking’ of- fice in 1936. Some of the political expenditures made in Mr. Gardihefs department are review- ed by the Ottawa correspondent 0f the Globe

‘and Mail. They make interesting reading for

our farmers in this section of Canada, who liavc received little or no benefits therefrom. In 1935, it is pointed out, Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture expenditures amounted to $7,106,534. In 1938 they amounted to $33,204,-

. 291. Some $20,000,000 of this was spent in

“handouts,” in the shape of drought relief and feed to the prairie provinces. ,- In addition, subdepartments have been built up creating new jobs to be filled by pat- ronage appointments. Services that have been established duplicated work done by_ other de- partmentspThere has even been overlapping of existing services in the Agricultural department itself. ‘, For example. a trained staff of Trade Commissioners under the Department of Trade and Commerce is stationed at posts throughout Great Britain. Their job is to direct the mar- keting of Canadian products, a job which they have done efficiently under both party govern- ents, - Under Mr. Gardiner, the Department of lgﬁgriculture has been sending its own men into the-field at an added cost of hundreds of thous- ppdtrof ‘dollars. The Minister shows ‘a marked A rtiality for Saskatchewan appointees. Salaries his department in Ottawa alone have risen

Discovery that excessive doses of vitamin B-I, the nerve tonic, change the instincts of rats. making _thcm cannibals without mother-love is announced in Science. 'l_‘he experiments, indicate there is nothing dangerous in the vitamin itself, but reveal that it needs, at least in rats, to mix with some kind of metal in order to be beneficial- ly useful. The report was made by Dr. David Perla, of the laboratory division, Montefiore Hospital, New York City. He fed rats 15 to 2o . times ntore vitamin B-1 than they needed. They lost their mother-love instinct, failed to give milk and became cannibals on other rats. haps that is as good a way as could be devised ‘ of getting rid of the obnoxious rodents.
