Each shower adds considerable to the growth 'Of the corn crop and to the filling of the cereals. ********* A',s the liayjng season closes a great many Western •Ontario farmers find that they have from one third to one half the quantity they harvested last year. ******** Those strikes are bound to work a lot of harm till the persons who agree to their settlement leave out the jcker in the settlement arrangement. Andi there’s the rub. ******** As soon as the price of hogs advances truckers complain that their business falls off. As soon as the price declines, after a rise, the trucking business takes a new lease of life. ******** We're wondering who is to benefit by the freer sale of beer and wine. Will it be the kiddies, or the women, or the grocer or the butcher or the shoe merchant or the churches or the clothing makers and sellers or will it be the brewers and the wine and beer vendors. ******** A QUESTION Our mutual friend, Farmer Gray, applied to a man to help him in his harvesting, offering a dollar a day and board as wages. “I can do better than that by going on relief,” was the quiet reply. Why not shut down all relief work till the farmers have their har­ vesting done and their fall work1 finished? ******** GRASPING THE NETTLE For a long time serious folk thought that a great deal too much has been done in the way of relief work. No one has desired that any deserving person should go hungry. Tens of thousands, on the other hand, have resented the sight of the worker support­ ing the loafer. Little approbation has been given when the man who denies himself ,an.d fights down his tiredness and tightens his belt only to be taxed, to feed the man who- will not venture and toil and practice reasonable self denial. Instead of admiration for this process there is deep indignation, an indignation all the more to be regarded because it has not been vociferous if vocal in any degree. Is the new government in Toronto- facing u.p to all this? Does the government see that things simply cannot go as they have been going on in this regard and. has it resolved that more must be done in the way of self .effort on the part of the individual citizen and less done in the way of relief? Is it saying that the m'an Who has a farm will do well to till it rather than for him to work for the pub­ lic? Is the new government saying that men must develop their own initiative .and not look to the government or to the municipali­ ties to- act as providence for them? These be stirring times my masters. ******** WHAT ABOUT PROGRESS ? No one can complain that t'he press and .people of Ontario have been lacking in sympathetic treatment of the new government at Toronto. A/ll but universal has been the approval of the manner in which the government has implemented its pre-election promises Everywhere the premier and his ministerrs have gone has been a cheering procession. For everyone has wished them well. Govern­ ment in times like these is tremendously difficult and every elector knows it. Carrying on governmnt, for any party in power, is an utterly thankless tas>k. Experienced men know this and are willing to give any new government all the privileges of the new broom. Further, everyone recognizes that any government coming into power must do a deal of destructive work before it can get' its own policy under way. Many a government lias, been hamstrung by not starting from scratch. And from this fact arises .a great deal *of tb.e difficulty oif the new occupiers of the seats of the mighty. Let us. grant' all this in rgard to what is going on at Toronto, And when we have granted this, is it not about time to ask what the new government is going to do? What are its constructive plans? Granted that it has a number of thorns to pull up, what is the new government going to do* in the way of planting roses—or prosaic wheat? Granted that the axe has swung on many a mould­ ering tr.ee, what is the new planting to be. The next few months likely to be fateful for this province. ******** The Toronto Saturday Night’s Financial editor has this tO' say: ‘'Canada ends the first half of 1934 with reason for the most profound satisfaction over the progress in recovery made during that period. Only Britain, whose well-being is .particularly impor­ tant to Canada, has done as well as we. Trade and industrial ac­ tivity are markedly greater than they were six months ago; unem­ ployment, though still serious, has been largely reduced, and the crop prospects, which a few weeks ago appeared to be the worst in years, now indicate approximately normal yields as a result of the r,ecent heavy and general rains.” A British view of the Canadian situation is also interesting. The London Daily Telegraph has t'he following comment on the out­ look in the. Dominion. “The story of the present economic conditions dn Canada is a heartening addition to the recent evidence of improvement in Australia, 'in South Africa and India. The Empire as a whole, is ■out of the depths. In Canada everyone of the ordinary tests of well­ being shows the Dominion making rapid recovery. Foreign trade in the the first four months of the present year is nearly 50 per cent, better than in the corresponding period of 1933. The customs and excise revenuesi for April were almost $12,000,000 in excess of those of April last year. Tn the reports of the greater .business cor­ poration the profits earned in the past twelve months have been greater by 75 per cent than in the previous year. The Improvement of which these figures record the early fruits, began in February 1933 and has been steady in the interval.

No preparation has been made jn Goderich for the sale of beer under the amended act, but an application has been made for a license “just to see what happens.” It is thought, however, that when Premier Hep­ burn said no sale would be permit­ ted in "local option" areas, he in­ cluded all “dry” territory.
