To compel farmers to convert 42c butter into 18o cheese which nothing short of Liberal folly would undertake, and which only the most szupid would ' offer as an excuse to cover up the blunder.

But this b just what. the King government actually did. They made a. wide open door for New Zealand butter, imported over 40,- 000,000 lbs. per year, smashed Cun- adian butter prices to i4: (Pre- mier Hepburns figures) and "forc- ed Canadais farmers to turn their milk into cheese. ,

The result of this was that Prince Edward Island farmers had to slaughter thousands of spring calves because it did not pay to nice them into milch cows, and sell them to ranches for fox feed, and to fishermen for bait, the most complete ruin of our dalrying industry that it was possible for lnygovernment to bungle into.

The organ of butter price ruin- Ibion now tries to make a. case out

of the fact that there h 8,000,000 lbs. of butter in storage in excw of the ﬁve year avenue, It conceals the fact that this excess of store butter is not. sufficient to meet the increased demand for home con- sumption. It does not tell its deal- ers that there is a practical short- age of butter for home consump- tion in Canada. It omits to say that our butter markets are ﬁrm, that prices are rocketing upward.

Under the poverty of the people, produced by Liberal policies, the consumption per capita. (per year) was as lbs. That under the policies of the Bennett Government the pin-chasing power of the people is increased, and the consumption per head in i035 is over 8i lbs. per capita, 0r 3 lbs. per head more than under the King depression.

THE ARTS DECADENT?

Not long ago, in fact just this summer. a. friend sent me The Il- lustrated london News, wherein were depicted sketches of busts and statues by Epstein, a sculptor ac- claimedas the most representative of those who lay claim to "modern" art. His works have created much controversy in the Old Land, but he disregards this and keeps on with statuary that is wholly ‘uncon- ventlal, to put it mildly. His art is irugged and queer, though not so ,hOpCl€551y bad as that of the cub- ‘ists.

Meanwhile we, along with Dr. James H. Scar-r of the U3. Weather Bureau, may cqnsole ourselves with the thought that there is no bad weather: it is nothing more than "a superstition created by people who don't like rainy days!" Weath- er is the perfectly harmonious op- eration of natural laws, and instead of bad weather, it is just a differ- ent kind of good weather! Doctor Scarr thinks weather the greatest physical influence in the world; and without the rain and its ac- companyinr clouds there would be no rivers, lakes, vegetables, and in fact, no life!

Our own rainfall is influenced by proximity to the sea, by the suc- cessive rings of land and water of which our Island is the centre, and an unknown factor which de- crees that local rain is more liable to fail during the hours of dark- ness.

The tots l ares. of agricultural land occupied in England and Wales in June. 1935, was 30,370,000 acres, compared with 30,454,000 acres in 1934, a. reduction of 84.000 acres of 0.3 per cent according to a report just issued by the British Ministry of- Agriculture. The area returned as under crops and grass was 24,048,003 acres, a decrease of 82,000 acres of 0.3 per. cent. Con- trary to the general trend in recent years .the total arcs. of rough grea- lnss at 5.432.000 acres urhowcd a small decrease 0f 2,000 ‘acres com- pared with the previous year. For the first time since 1018 the steady decline in the arable area has been arrested and there was an increase upon the area in i934 of 144,000 acres (1.0 per cent) to 9,804,000 acres; the total arable land is now rather larger than 1932.‘ This in- crease was due almost entirely to the expansion in the area under clover and rotation asses. On the other hand-the area actually under

crops, excluding» clover, and rota.- tlcn grasses. showed a decline of 62.000'acres or 0.9 per cent on 1934. A further sub-

at 6,715,030 acres

"tantiul reduction of 15.0 per cant o 288.000 acres ocourred‘in the ea of bare fallow. This was the lowest figure ielumed u under hm fallow for several years. 11b1- the

second year in succession there was a reduction in the area 0f perman- ent grass amounting to‘ 327,000

representing 1.4 per cent, the acreage under permanent grass of 15,554,000 acres being very little more than in 17980.

The filial area under cereals de- clined by 41.300 com or 1 per cent to 4.095030 acres. increases in wheat, oats and rye beinl more than counter-balanced by a. sub- stantial reduction in the acreage of barely and a smaller decrease in mined corn. The potato acreage showed a further moderate de- crease and there was again a re- duction in the area under roots, a small increase in the acreage of Ida being more than offset d

11191189 bythe ecllne in the acreage under

turnips and swedes. After c. sub- stantial increase in the previous year the sugar beet acreage in i085 showed a moderate decline. There was» a small decline in the area under the four r ‘ ’ ‘ vegetbles. but a. further net h crease in the acreage devoted to fruit. The acre- age of hops was unchanged.

That Waterproof Cape

Various people have been ex- olaiming over that epidemic of waterproof capes which descended upon Edinburgh during a recent torrential weck- id‘ whence came they? One had not ncfsd more than an occasional cape during the preceding weeks or months-and than suddenly they came forth upon us like a swarm of locusts! More strangely still, most of. them were white of very light-coloured. They appear to be extremely con- venient garments-no fastenlngs. no walst-belts-mne slight heavc and they are over onc’s shoulders at the ﬁrst, suggestion of a shower.

But they do rather tend to float about in the wind, and one feels that a ‘light grasp must bc kept» upon them last they fly up over arm's head to she's dire neglect of the) Highway Code. A closer acquaintance with these capes is evidently essential to an under- standing of their little way!-

‘Speciﬁed-Containers For Shelled, “voters

Under a new regulation made recently under the federal Fish Inspection Act, shelled oyster-h they're sometimes spoken of as "shuckcd" oysters-must now be marketed in glass or paper can- taincrs and not otherwise. Each container when filled for market- ing, must bear the name and ad- dress of the original packer and it must be marked so as to show, in liquid measure terms, what quantity of oysters it holds. Thus the buyer will receive his purchase in a sanitary container, he'll know what quantity of oysters he's get- ting for his money, and if it should happen that there is any cause for ccmplaintthc name and address on the container will enable blame to .bo placed.

As a matter of fact, however,

most t? Canada's production of oysters is now marloed in shell, not in the chucked from, and

regulations as to Alas and marking c’ barrels and boxes used in ship- ping havc been in force for some time. Some ameudm ti» have recently been made to these earlier regulations but the changes are of interest to shippers, rather than to consumers. From the consumers

point of view probably the only

change of interest is one which provides’ that oysters in theshell may now bo put in boxes of three different sizes a quarter bushels, a

vbox containing not less than a

bushel, or a box holding a. half- bushsl. Hitherto, only one bins has been permitted, the bushel and a quarter box.
