_ BCONCMY Many are talking economy these daymbut not all are practising it. There is an Qzpparent economy which is teal elgtravagance. and apparent extravagance which is real economy. lilo, one knows this better than the progressive farmer. In feeding his stock, if he stints ule material, whe- U10!“ it be hay. grain or roots, 11F Will find that it ls not economy. The food capacity of the dairy cow is extraordinary. and if this capacity is . properly-ministered to. she will pay well for her keep. ~" In a herd oi Ta dozen dairy cows. one-hall may eat up all the profit made by the whole herd." The thrifty tanner will dis- of ma. half-down. pcrllcps to the fox rancher, and will find in the end that the remainder of the herd will return him ‘a good profit. "l In no other sense is the old adage "penny wise and pound foolish". more clearly exemplified than in the feeding of thc dairy hcrd. This is becoming more clearly denlolistmtcd as the years go by. The old-time habit of keeping cows without ally record of performance has gone by. Every farmer today. or at least those of them who are making their herds pay, knows the value of each cow's daily milk yield. and his re- turns from the factory Provo the value of this information. It does not pay to keep boarders in the cow stabieior in the pasture: they are un- profitable and wasteful.

'What is true of the dairy herd is equally true oi" all the other animal"; dlrtilc mm. rt pays m feed wcil.’ Itwioesnot pay to feed animals which do not yield a profit of their ohm-and the successful farmer able to cull from any of~his flocks or‘ those that are simply board- Vingllat the expense of the others.

tom of vhe King government is to work up to a hiatus in the matter of reduced taxes and increased ‘trade; and the grand finale may. be expect- ed during the last session oi Parlia- ment. If this be the last session. we may look for further boasting 0i taxes having been reduced and great- er things yet to come. It will be well for the people to look carefully into the manner of these so-called p reductions of taxation. and to keel! an eye on Peters pocket as well as Paul's. __,______________. HANDMAIDS

OUR. Boards of Trade. our Women's Institutes. our Tourist Associa- tion, and similar institutions which are working in the interest of the public weal, are very properly Wim- ed handxpaids of Government. 131956 institutions, usually made up of the rank and file of the people through- out the Province. are often in closer touch with the requirements of the country than arc govcnmlents or members of the heblslatule ol- Par- lbament. Also. they are more liable u. be inspired by ulc public need ra- ther than by merely partisan con- sideratioxis. This. however. does not release the Government, federal or provincial, from their responsibilities to the public. Tlhey are, or should be. leaders in all matters oi’ public concern, rmd- should take the init- iative in every movement that/has for its object the betterment of the country. This they can do in many ways. They.can inspire by aotive leadership; they can take a practical as well as sympathetic interest in such movements. and thaw-can pro- vide ways and means for the carry- ing out of projects calculated to pro- mote public services. Unfortunate- ly. this has not always been the case. Our Gcvel-nménls are a» liable _to wait to see how the cat is going ‘to jump. Evidence of this may be seen in the dllatory way in which the recommendations of the Duncan Report have been handled. .Prac- tlcally all that has been done in having these recommendations im- plemented was on the insistent de-

idually and collectively.

The same l‘. u-uc with respect m the car ferry, immigration, publicity. and other platters of public interest. It is all very ‘well for the “hand- maids‘; to suggest and assist; but it is for the "mistress" to lead the way and make the appropriate outlays.

AUSPIOIOUS BEGINNING

r1181} year i929 has had an auspic- ious beginning. so far at least, as weather is concemed. Since the first of December, when ordinarily vrlntor begins. up to the present time. the weather has been extraordinar- ily mild, with but little frost and scarcely any snow. This has had the effect of coonomizlng on fuel and provender for the livestock; for it is well known that the greatest amount of forage is consumed in the coldest weather. I - iilotwitl-lptandiclg these economies. there is a general suspicion‘ that the mild weather has bad something to do with the propagation of (he pre- sent epidemic ‘of influenza all over the northern continent. If this be so. and time are many reasons for believing it to be. the economy has not been all to the good. We com- plah d 001d and stormy weather.‘

Notes the redtoin the abort of the Grand

Jury subunitted at the present term of the Supreme Court. There were

folmd thirty-two prisoners in $111.‘.

five of whom are females. Twenty‘ are ‘there for prohibition offensm." This situation would be disquieting enough. even if we were assured that all our lawbrulk are safely behind the bars. But ulc steadily lllcl-cuc- ing nmnber of arrests for drunken- ness. as evidenced by the Police Re- ports, tell a different story. An over-crowded jail. and. an increase in 1928 of over eighty percent in arrests and convictions for drunk- enness. are not. the results predicted by Mrs. Gordon Wright and other Liberal campaign omtors in the last

election. ‘

The recommendation of the; Gran Jury that some system be evolved ‘whereby all old offenders be segregat- ed and compelled to ork for their own and their families’ support while in jail, is one which surely must have suggested itself to the Govern- ment long ago. Why "are not all prohibition offenders compelled to work when in jail? This is one way of enforcing the Act. which would lwommend itself to every one. There is no reason wlly thesepcoplc. ifl properly convicted, should be treat- ed like star boarders. If all the bootlcggels were in jail. aildvwere compelled to work eight hours a day for their support, there would be n. large available supply of labor for the building of that Sarlatorlum

' which is being talked about.

What. approximately. was the .5..- " enue derived last year from tlw"

tourist traffic to this Province? What proportion of the total revenue from this source for all Canada. has been ours? What proportion of the total number of motor cars crowing lo this Province during the past year represents visiting American motor- ists. and how many of these cars were owned ,_by residents of this Pro- vince or of other parts of Canada? How ‘does our advertising outlay for publicity purposes compare per _cap- its. with ulc camDfl-lsns put oil by New Brunswick. Nova. Bcotio. and other Provinces? These are all

“ questions of prime importance which _’

must be answered if we are to know just where we stand with respect to our tourist trade. At the annual meeizlngof the Publicity Association these figures could not be discussed. simply because the infomlation was not available. We need a bureau of statistics. and we need a govern- ment that wlll provide a bureau of statistics for this as wellas for im- migration and other purposes.

So far Uncle Sam. has found his

policy. of high tariff protection to i

suffice for excluding unwanted pro- ducts of this country; but neither his tariff laws nor his water-tight or liquor-tight Volstead Act, nor his en- Iorcement armament have been able to prevent the importation of liquor into his country, because his stiff! necked citizens will have it. So the Canadian Government is now being asked about it. The amazing \para- dox of the situation was revealed at Washington the other day when the "drys" in U. ‘S. Dohgress actually voted down an amendment to in- crease the $13,600,000 now annually set apart for the enforcement of the Volsiead Act, although the sum men-

tioned is admitted to be scandalous- iy inadequate w llleet the clluuuull. “let Canada. do it." seems to be their attitude.
