West and Mixed Farming

The present uncertainty in the ‘ ‘ is a reminder of the importance of mixed farming in every agricultural community. As the Vancouver Province points out, 11' the Western Canadian farmer could realize that he is growing ra- ther too much wheat, and that too snitch depends on successful growing and marketing of this one commod- ity, he would pay more attention to mixed farming. The prosperity of ‘Ontario is cited as an example of the success of diversified agriculture. The Western farmer has to ‘learn, what the Eastern and Central can "' n farmers have already learned, that if he is to take care of the lean years and the poor markets he must go into farming in all its branches; he must keep cows and make his own butter; he must raise his own poul- try. Specialized farming commun- ities prosper during favorable cycles, but the lean years which invari- ably come, usually leave a trail of disaster for the one-crop special- 1st.

Ono means of encouraging mixed farming is by insuring the home Irarket for the agricultural produc- er. "rho western grain growers have hitherto been hostile to the Conscr- vativepolicy of adequate protection in the home market, and Liberal Governments have catered to this prejudice to the detriment of the ag- ricultural producers oi Central and Eastern Canada. lf, as the Vancouv- er Province predicts, the time has arrlvedvfor the‘ western producers to adopt mixed farming, there ,will un- doubtedly be a change of front in thetarift policy of the West.

"Something Affecting Canada"

Premier King's ambiguous refer- ence to the forthcoming election date is typical of his whole admin- istration. He told the House and thc country nothing when he said, in {ho-course of his speech on the last Monday, that

might develop in Parliament or pos- flbiy something affecting Canada as a result of what might be done in a foreign country." The Premier's in- ference is plain enough. He is wait- ing for the psychological moment when an appeal to the country will kbohmost effective from the Govern- ment's standpoint. Of course, he

prcduct rates in the tariff bill are at the highest level in history, and it seems altogether likely that these rates will become law.

This activity at Washington is of great interest to Canada, since it means the virtual exclusion of Can- adian farm products from the Am- erican market.’ -It is all the more disturbing because A things have not been going too well as regards Canadian exports of food- stuffs to Great Britain. In the current issue oi the Commercial In- telligence Joumal, issued by the De- partment of Trade and Commerce, Mr. Harrison Watson, Canadian 'I‘rade Commissioner in London, re- ports that the 1920 returns" are "al- most without exception, disappoint- ing from a Canadian point of view, because they show a considerable, and in some cases progressive, re- duction in thc quantities of practic- ally every food product which Can- ado. supplies to the United King- dom."

Shrinkages in volume in some of the more important lines are given by the Commissioner, as follows: flour, 23.7 per cent; bacon, 35.0 per cent.; hams, l4.9‘per cent.; cheese, 21.3 per cent; canned ‘salmon, 9.3 per cent. Moreover, Mr. Watson draws attention to the fact that "the export trade in live cattle, of which so much was expected a few years ago, completely disappeared in 1929, when not a single animal was ship- ped to this buntry."

If further signs were needed to convince Premier King of the grav- ity of the present situation, they were supplied by Hon. R. B. Bennett, who preceded the Premier in speak- ing 0n the Draft Address. Mr. Ben- nett polnted out that railway earn- ings had fallen by millions oi dol- lars, stock market prices had slump- ed badly, the cost of living had in. creased and from a favorable bal- ance of trade of $275,000,000 in 1926, the Dominion in i929 had an adverse balance of $90,000,000. There was greater unemployment in Canada than had existed in'tlle last quarter of a century. Trade with the Brit- ish Empire last year showed a de- crease. On the other hand, trade with the United States showed mark- ed increase. One half oi Canada's exports to the United States was in the shape of raw material.

Propaganda and Truth

Five new war books are reviewed in a recent issue of the London ‘ Spectator. _The new volumes, for the ‘most partyare frankly written as

‘ against the beastliness and cruelty of war. 1t is true, as the Spectator reviewer says, that "every war book, whatever its osten- sible object, is really peace propagan- da;" but it is doubtful whether the continued detailed repetition of grue- some and sordid episodes really is effective propaganda of any sort. It failsto ‘ ,becauseitisob- viously out of perspective. The ex- periences of the soldiers who took part in the war and of the millions of civilians who came in close contact with its brutalities were harrowing enough in all conscience; but there were redeeming features in the high courage and self sacrifice which these experiences called forth, and which cannot be ‘T -' by the historian or the novelist without doing violence to truth. .

What are we to think of a Judge, then, who leaves the bench for the hustings or thc press to protest against his decision being reversed? If his example were to become gen- eral the confidence of the public in' our law courts would be shaken to its foundations; and before very long there would be a return to those days when dlflerences were decided by duels, ilsticuffs and armed rebel- lion, and, of’ course, where physical might was moral right. If we are to maintain our freedom given us by Magna Charta every care must be exercised to prevent our law courts being publicly attacked by litigant, counsel or Judge simply because de- cision has been given again them, or on appeal, Judgment was reversed.

The death of Mr. D. It. Morrison will be felt as a loss not only to Summersida but to the Province gen- erally. He was literally what may be termed as “A Maker of Canada," for as a contractor and builder his works remain a monument to his enter- prise and ability throughout the Maritime provinces. He was one of our many successful islanders at home.

Since yesterday's notes were writ- ten two new aspirants for the vac- ant senatorship have field. Both Mr. Reilly and Mr. Mc- Guigan have strong party claims, but what odds when the parties who no- minate for the vacancy are them- selves candidates?

The usual custom for an adminis-

oi the majority of the party mem- bers and senators representing the Province. 1n this case the recom- mendation will be made by l-lon. John Sinclair, Mr. R. H. Jenkins, M. P. and Mr. A. E. McLean, M. P., sen- ators J. J. Hughes and Creelman MacArthur. We may safely assume that Mr. Sinclair will vote for him- self, Mr. Jenkins for himself, Mr. Mc- Lean for himself, leaving the two Senators to support whom they like. Naturally Senator MacArthur will support Mr. McLean, but who will Senator Hughes support? instance evidently the.Llberal Sen- ator; from King's holds the decisive slate, and we don't think Mr. sm- iclalr will get it. Should Mr. Mc- ,l..ean be favouad that would give him' ‘a majority, though it is unreasonable to think Prime Minister King would ignore the Just claims of Queens for a senatorship. Perhaps Mr. Sin- clair's dilemma will be some less im- portant politician's opportunity.

Reference has already been made here to signs of the coming election, and perhaps the most significant lo- cally’ has been the calling ofl of Magistrate Tweedys activities in Prince‘ County. 1t is an open secret that Mr. A. E. McLean, M. P., had complained that the Prohibition prosecutions had been playing havoc with his chances of re-election, as good Liberals who are bad Prohibi- tionists, or only political Prohibition- ists, were resenting interference with "use and won't“ by the Saunders Government. Hence the sudden ces- sation of prosecutions in Prince County, and the disappearance of the detective who was to supply the necessary evidence for the convic- tions of alleged offenders. The Lib- erals of Prince sincerely hope that w. Tweedy will not be allowed to visit Summerside officially until aft- er the Mackenzie King Government has taken the plunge.

Tl-IE HISTORY OF FLOUR MILL- ING IN CANADA

Q. What is the history of flour milling in Canada?

A. The most important manufac turing ' ‘ y connected with the. field crops is flour milling, which dates back to the tlement made by the French at Port Royal (now An- napolis, N. S.) in 1603. For the next half century the mills were closely associated with the commercial and banking history of the country. Large scale production in milling in Canada thc two processes, atone and roller began with the competition between milling. The milling industry grew space. The number of mills in i028 was 1,319 including over 1,000 coun- try mills; the capital invested was $63,514,575, the cost of raw materials. $165,032,821, while the value of pro- ducts was tlI5,60B.;24%. The exports of wheat fiour in the fiscal year ended March 3i, 1920, 11,405,720 bar- rels of flour, valued at 805,111,779
