EROSION Potato growers oi this Province will b0 interested in a soil erosion Pmleot which is reported to have been undertaken in Arccstmlg Counir. Maine- Pruque Isle is sta- ted to be the headquarters for the work, which will embrace an area of 30,000 acres. Demand for the project arose from the assertion of those in the business of potato pm- duction on a commercial sale. that the method employed in potato- culture was allowing much at the top-soil of the Aroostook potato- areas to be carried away by rains and by meltins snows each year. The point has been made that a1- most exclusively the practice has been for the potato rows to run up and down the slope of the grmnd and not at right angles to iy, as ad- vised. This practice it is claimed "lids the erosion. ‘About 300 men will be employed during the rest of th! working per- iod of this year, and for the entire season, next year, it is said. At the same time, farmers will be asked to ‘enter into five-year contracts to continue the work after the federal project is completed. ' The non-productive sections in "the area will be planted with trees. while the productive farm lands will be treated with such methods as terracing, gully-checking, strip- cropping and contour cultivation. In the latter the potato-rows will be across the slope and not with it- ‘ The Fredericton Gleaner Itaies ‘that New Brupswick has not repor- ted soil-erosion to the serious ex- tent feared in Northern Maine, al- though practices of cultivation do not greatly differ.

Were Social Credit to be attempt- ed Federally, the first thing to go by the board would be soldiers pen- sions, then railway pensions, then civiLscrvice pensions.

Nor can Alberta interfere with currency, either by way of passbooks or coupons. it is only when he begins to work out details that Mr. Absrhart will recl- ize the folly of his $25 per month scheme to all and sundry of 21 years of age and over, with s less- er sum for each child under that age. ' m. Aberhart protests that thrifty people have no cause for alarm over his Social Credit policy.

The hard- earned or inherited savings of in- dustrious, thrifty people are very much at stake, and the posessors have every reason to be alarmed.

Likewise the reel starchy foods - sugar, bread potatoes, pastry-can be cut down by one half. Liquids are needed to keep all the body cells healthy because every body cell( like a little fish) must be surrounded by water, but they can be reduced in amount- by the simple method of taking‘ just half the quantity usually taken. Thus if two cups of tea, coffee, or other fluid is used at meal time one cup should be used. Every time the thirst demands water a drink may be taken but lust half the usual quantity. But it is really the exchanging leafy vegetables (vegetables that are bu‘ky but not rich in food value) for the more solid or rich starch foods (sugar. honey, candy, molames. potatoes, cereals.

Now that the Girl Guides have discovered the beauty and picturesquenes; of the Brudenell, perhaps we will hear s little more about that historic place. Hitherto it has been ignored.

One demerit of this sys ‘m is that personal contact between member and constituency is A duced. An- other and more serious fault is that small parties are kept in existence, a fact which gravely disturbs the process of parliamentary govern- ment where a compact and single party majority in office, faced by an opposition similarly ‘“ ‘ ’ gives the best results. By the transferable vote an elector can indicate on his ballot paper not only his first choice but also his second, third, sic. 'I‘o ensure election a candidate need not secure a majority of the votes polled but only a certain number so fixed that it can be obtained bv a number of candidates equal to the number of seats to be filled but by no more. This numbe of votes is called the "quota." At the first count first choices only are reckoned and time-e candidates who have received the "quota" or more are declared duly elected. If all the seats have not then been filled up the surplus votes of those can- didates who have received more than the "quota" are transferred according to the names marked “2" on the quota. If these trans- fers still do not bring the requisite ‘ of candidates up to the "quota" the lowest candidates is eliminated and his votes are trans- ferred according to the next pref- here Professor Blanchard read a vc;y interesting paper befzre one of the city clubs on the early Ac- ndians and the several places o1’ their occupancy on this Island, but again Brudenell, De Roma and his colony were not mentioned. What are we to think? 1s all that we have read and believed of De Roma a myth and baidcrdash? Or does Brudencll occupy too small a place on the map to be taken native of? I incline to the latter theory, for apart from De Roma, the Brud- cnell ls most histn-ic. owing to that band of sturdy.

It goes without saying that the “Girl Guides would be in- terested in and like the Brudenell, not only because of its historic as- sociations. but because it is rich in folk-lore and legend A few years ago two very interesting little tales in this connection appeared in the Guardian, one entitled “In Days of Old." a romance and tragedy of the Brudenell and the other "Duri- can Robertson's Awakening," s. talc of the Brudcnell. 1 am wondering if any of the Grl Guides read them. l am sure it would give them an added interest in the sur- roundings.

Bennett in respect for sol- emn obligations as a fundamental principle of good government. It must be a membered that when England went off the gold standard Premier Bennett stood pat, refusing to be stampeded by panic, and held Canada to its ob- ligation to meet its liabilities in gold, if required. When the Bank of lilngiand. the greatest institu- tion of its kind in t e world, fol- lowed suit in fear weakness. the banks of Canada, under gov- ernment support stood firm and unflinching.

Money may be scarce. and taxes a grevious oppression, but no mat- ter how hard the sleddin, may be to pay up, the unanimous verdict would be to preserve our national credit. Then why snipe and pick at Premier Bennett for his action and determination to do so? Canada because of this stands first among the nations of the world in popular admiration. Only recently, when offering a refund- ing loan in New York, at a low interest, it was oversubscribed in a day. Would an Ontario loan meet with a like acceptance, or, would it be accepted at all? Not likely. Credit is an asset of value, and Premier Bermett believes in con- serving the assets of Canada. What does this Bennett credit mean to Canada? Millions of war bonds, 5% to Hive intaest to be refunded by 3% bonds. Millions to be saved in interest, to be spent in public works, giving employment. Help to provinces with lost credit and heavy debt, which would have gone bankrupt but for federal aid. Money borrowed by the govern- ment at low interest, to be loaned to farmers and home builders at low rates of interest, that they may own their own homes or be relieved oi financial difficulties. These great savings directly or indirectly go into the pockets of the small taxpayers of Canada. In some way every one benefits by lower interest. Every borrower or mortgager profits by lower interest. Do we want these financial ad- vantages of good credit. or ARE WE HANKERING AFTER. ‘THE HEPBURN-KING DEBT RE- PUDIATTON AND DESTHOYED CREDIT?
