Feed Situation Shows Marked Improvement "The feed situation in Canada as a whole shows marked improvement over last year. There are few places where supplies of hay are inade- quate," state the" "Agricultural Sit- uation and Outloo " for 1936. Great- est improvement over preoeeding years was registered in the Prairie Provinces where drought has ma- terially reduced the feed supply during rcent years. The improve- ment has not only been in the quantity of feed available, but also in a better distribution of feed over the farming areas of the Dominion. In the Maritime Provinces the hay crop was 19 per cent greater than in 1934. Pasture was poor during the late summer owing to dry weather, but there was consid- erable pick-up in the lute fall. Que- beb also reports an increase in hay production. Ontario lied a yield of grass and clover hay estimated at 60 per cent over that of the pre- vious year. The fall condition of new seeding is reported as being from fair to excellent for the five Eastern Provinces. . Bumper hay crops were harvested in Manitoba during 1935. The qua!- ity, however, was impaired by rains during the haying season. It is es- timated that about one-quarter of the i035 cmn will be carried over to tire Mil of 111.36. "The feed sit- ua ;_-i in the Province of Saskat- clieivzm is much more satisfactory than it has been for several years.“ ravs the Outlook. A similar con- rliticn is reported from Alberta, a1- ihnu ~ in each of theso two Prov- iifces fliers are still small areas in which supplies are inadequate. A heavy crop of hay was also harvets- cd in British Columbia. Feed sull- plics in Western Canada have been cn "reed fr); this your by the high percentage of low gwde rusted wlvat which was harvested. The yield of grains ns a wholc was verv satisfactory. but the qual- ity from the standpoint of “grade" was low. Ontario corn growers harvested an excellent crop of grain and thc production of fodder com was Sliilllt‘)! higher than in 1934. The abundance of feed av- ailable has led to a marked increasi- in the number of cattle on feéd for the winter of 1935-36.

Jan. 27.~Clos1ng clown of the Rayon Plant in Shcrbrooke, Que., and conditions in the textile indusry generally, will be subject to an inquiry by a Royal Commis- sion clothcd with wide powers, Prime Minister Mackenzie King an- nounced tonight. Justice W. F. A. Turgeon of tho Saskatchewan Ap- peal Court has been appointed a Royal Commission to conduct tho investigation. Mr. Justice Thirgeon arrived in Ottawa today and will proceed at once with his investigation. The inquiry will centre chiefly in sher- brooko but may extend to other ramifications of the industry, tho terms of reference being sufficiently wide to onab'e him to proceed without limitation. The Royal Commission is the gov- ernment's answer to complaints from the people of Sherbrooke that 1,000 workers had been thrown into idleness by the sudden cessation of work in tho silk plant there, and is in line with Mr. Mackenzie King's declaration of policy made in the last stages of the general electio campaign. The Ordor-iii-Council creating the commission. passed at this after- noon's Cabinet session, referred to reports from Slierbrooke dated Jan. 18. advising tho government that 1.- 000 workers had been thrown out of employment by the sudden cessa- tion of work in the Dominion Tex- tile companyh flat silk works there.

B., Jan. 2B- “The Bum" is just a. mongrel dog, but he's in his 14th year of service as an unofficial member of tho C. P. R. harbor police at West Saint John and seems to be near- ing retirement from worldy cares. Everyone familiar with harbor act- ivity knows "The Bum." Respected and potted. he has assumed the responsibility of law and order st A shed. Some say he's a cross bo- tween an American bull and nu Irish terrier. In appearance he's lust a. plain dog. "But what a dog!" exclaims Serge-int H. W. Bailcy who has been his pal for the past two years and inherited Bum's friendship from Sergeant William Gunter. About 14 years ago an ambling. taffy-oolored pup became friendly with Gunter and tire comrnderie lasted 12 years. Bum was usually at the sergeants side. No other dog was permitted to enter the shed. and to this day no dug nt- tcmpis the action. It's Bumts ter- ritory. No one dare dispute tho right, although his old feet are giving out now and his teeth are going. His gait is slower and his eyes dull. But he's still on duty. During the first winter he stuck by the sergeant until the police moved to Montreal for the summer. It was a sad day for Bum. The next winter, when the sergeant and his men first crossed the har- bor by ferry, he was at the floats to greet them. Every year after that, in Gun- ter's time. he met the uniformed police on the date of their arrival, staying with them all winter and going home only for a few hours on Christmas dny. In the summer he'd just pass the shed. Why go in? None of his friends were there. This year. however, "The Bum" was exactly two days late. No one could explain his tardiness. On Christmas he made a fleeting vis- it to his own home on Watson Street but hasn't been there since- “He's s very faithful old friend,” said Bailey as he watched the dog sleeping in a corner. "In the years he's been with us I dare say he's saved money in his patrolling. No one can carry anything out of the shed clay or nlsht unless he sees the constables are watching. “Many. many times at night he's waned the men 0n duty that someozze has been prowling. He's followed people in and out of the shed when hardly anyone was ab- out. Talk about a watch dc3~he's the essence oi faithfulness." Minnie, a Montreal cat. was brought here this winter by the police. The minute Bum saw she was O. K. with the men, she was O. K. with him. They are the best of friends. and her safety was add- ed to the list of the canine con- stsble’_s duties. They eat and slecu together.

The fold shod having put a little rheumatism into Bums old bones, he is massaged occasionally. H» stalwart friends in the gold and blue uniforms give him the care of a baby. They wonder now, as they watch him sleeping, if he'll be here when they return next winter. It's a sad thought, for he's been more than just a failliful dog. “The Burn" has earned the. respect of countless friends.

By “out-amu- ‘spasm Wire) OTTAWA, Jan, 27. - Attorney- General Roebuck of Ontario led the provinces into a general attack to- day in the ‘Supreme Court against three Dominion statutes establish- lnl minimum wages. e 48-hour industrial week and o s day's rest in seven. Ho claimed each law was invalid beoauso each was based on a convention of the International Labor Office at Geneva which hau been ratified illegally. The Ontario Attorney-General admitted the Dominion had power to pass the laws but claimed it chose the wrong channel. Ho laid down the legal‘ dictum only the King and the CanadlarrGovei-nmeut or Parliament could ratify a. treaty. The conventions, under which the three laws were‘ based. were ratified by Parliament last session. From thLs legal starting point, Parliament passed the statutes on the ground it had power under Section 132 of the British North America Act to implement treaty obligations. Mr. Roebuck claimed ths subject matter of each llw fell within pro- vincial Jurisdiction as established by thc B. N. A. Aot. He said the provinces were as supreme within their Jurisdiction as the Dominion within its field. ' Earlier in the argument, N. W. Rowell, Dominion counsel, claimed a treaty could be ratified by the Canadian Government exercising the King's prerogative. ‘This was disputed by Mr. Roebuck who argu- ecl- the Dominion had no power to exercise the King's prerogative to ratify a treaty which fell within the ambit of the provinces laid down in the oonstitutiom The King, he said, was king of Ontario as well as king o! Canada or Australia. and a lieu- tenant-govcrnor had as much right to act for him on ratification of u treaty concerning provincial mat- ters as the Governor-General on federal matters. Canada. Mr. Roebuck continued, had unlimited power to negotiate a treaty btu it could be signed only by the King or a. representative oi tho King empowered for that D111‘. pose. This was not followed in the three labor conventions and there. forc the statutes were invalid, the treaties having been ratified in the name of Premier R. B. Bennett. The laws were invalid for another P6515011. Mr. Roebuck continued. Under the Treaty of Versailles, which established the labor office, members of the League agreed to bring conventions to the attention of competent authorities no later than 1B months after they were conclud- ed. The present conventions were not ratified until l6 years after the time-limit expired, he continued and “if 16 years, why not B0 or C00 years. Where does the thing end? The Attorney-General contended the Dominion created the treaty obligation merely to gain alleged power and he insisted this indirect i Thursday flight, Jan Gems from Burns Donald The sketch introduces th Pipers from the 105th Selections.
