The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-09-26, Page 6THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, JOS®THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE F. Donnelly Nominee in Huron-Perth Goderich Lawyer to iWy the Conservative party’s Standard Mr. Donnelly Mr. Donnelly said there might be some suggestion that he did not live in the riding and that was so. He lived in Goderich, which had pre­ viously been in the riding but had been shifted in the last redistribu­ tion. He pointed to the ill-will which had been created in North Huron as the result of the nomination of an outsider from a considerable dis­ tance, in spite of the -fact that a number living in the riding had been nominated. If be thought his nom­ ination would cause the least trouble he would not have allowed his name to go- before the convention, Mr. Donnelly declared that he was prepared to put on a stennous cam­ paign and bring it to a successful conclusion, he hoped. After Mr. Donnelly had been unanimously chosen as candidate for Huron-Perth, the chairman, Mr. Sells, explained that the candidate was the son of a farmer in Bruce, who farmed a thousand acres or more. After he had taken up law, he had gone back to tne lumber busi­ ness in which his father was inter­ ested. Four years ago he returned to his first love, the law. and had established an office in Goderich. The Government was not promis­ ing every man and woman $25 a month, but it was appealing on its splendid record over a period of difficult years, The campaign would be short and unless he received the help of all, his most strenuous efforts would be •;n vain. He- asked the support of every Conservative. Dr. Taylor Dr. Taylor declared the Liberal C nservative party had been the main force in the development of Canada. It had been called upon again and again in times of stress. Even at its birth it was directed by that great Conservative leader, -Sir John A. MacDonald. A similiar campaign was carried cn in the election n£ 188S, Dr. Tay­ lor said. It was a whispering cam­ paign at that time, then, just as it was now. He hoped that when the smoke cleared away it would be found that the Conservatives had been elected as in 1888. The speaker traced the many times that the Conservatives had been called to take charge of the affairs of Canada in time of crisis. The Liberals, on the other hand, were opportunists. ‘Looking over the past five years of difficulty throughout the- -world, Canada was at the head of any coun­ try on the ‘face of the globe. While he could not stand himself, he urg­ ed care ’in selecting a candidate and he believed that the other men nom­ inated had the necessary qualifica­ tions, Mr. Morley Mr. Morley said that the fact that Canada had recovered the ‘best of any nation in the world was due to the able leadership of Premier Ben­ nett. It was easy to criticize, as everyone makes mistakes. He declar­ ed he was not in a position to ac­ cept the party nomination at the present time. Mr. Parks appreciated the honor that had been conferred on him but he was unable to allow his name to stand. There was much dissatisfac­ tion in the country today. This was shown by the new parties that had siprung -up. Turning to Mr. Stevens he said that he was instructed with a great responsibility by h'is leader. Prem­ ier Bennett, the most outstanding man in public life today. He stepped beyond the bounds of his rights in disclosing certain find­ ings of the mass buying investiga­ tions. When called to time by the leader, he was not man enough to acknowledge his mistake. He asked h'is audience when they had heard anything about the reform program before Mr. Bennett’s radio address. As a matter of fact, Mr. Stevens had merely appropriated the program of Mr. Bennett. He pointed out that of the 15 premiers, who had served Canada, 11 of them had been Con­ servatives. He thought this was a great record. Mr. Lesueur Mr. Lesueur complimented the ■Frank Donnelly, well-known young Goderich lawyer, received the unani­ mous nomination at riensall Friday night as Conservative candidate to contest the riding of Huron-Perth in the federal election. Four other names were placed before the con­ vention, but three of these withdrew and the fourth was not present. The convention then made the choice of Mr. Donnelly unanimous, on motion of Sam Hannah, of Seaforth, and Wto. Frayne, of Exeter. The convention, held i n the town hall, attracted the largest and most enthusiastic Conservative con­ vention held there in many years, and any one of the five men nomin­ ated would have made a most ac­ ceptable representative for the rid­ ing. Those nominated, in addition to Mr. Donnelly, were: Charles Bar­ ber, Seaforth; Richard Parks, Sea­ forth; James Morley, Exeter and Dr. R. H. Taylor, of Dashwood. Mr. Donnelly’s name was placed in nom­ ination by jack Broderick, Seaforth, and Mrs. Arthur Coles, Goderich. F. Sills, President of the Huron-Perth Association, was chairman. The guest speaker for the evening was Capt. Wilfrid Heighington, K.C. member of the Provincial House for Toronto-St. Davids, but the .meeting aliso heard fine addresses from all four cf those nominated, and from Lyle Lesueur. K.C., of Srnia, presi­ dent of the Western Ontario Con­ servative Association. The selection of Mr. Donnelly brings the number of candidates in the field in this riding to three. The others are: W. H. Gliding, Liberal who represented the riding for part cf the life of the last Parliament and Robert McMillan, Reconstruction candidate. Change No Help Capt. Heighington paid a tribute to Mr. Donnelly for whom he could say that he stood high in his profes­ sion and would be a member at Ot­ tawa who would not be a mere seat warmer hut would get up on his feet and talk for his constituency. There was a good deal cf the talk of the desirability of a change. He wanted to know what advantage there had been to British Columbia and Nova Scotia to make a change of Government. The speaker asked his audience to look at what had happened closer home. A young man had come along and the people had called his every utterance that of a statesmen. At Woodstock this young man prom­ ised to provide remunerative em­ ployment without any x increase in taxes. The businessmen who vot­ ed for the Hepburn Government were now representing it. Not only had he failed to provide the remun­ erative employment he promised but increased the corporation tax, the succession duties and even the amusement tax. He predicted there would be further heavy increases at the next session. He asked Iris audience to remem­ ber that Premier Hepburn had prom­ ised a parade of civil servants out of Queen’s Park. He kept his prom­ ise. but his qwu friends came in faster by the back door. He pointed out that in a number of departments there had been many more appoint­ ments than dismissals. For in- instar.ee, 185 had been dismissed in the department of health and 200 had been hired. In the Securities Frauds branch, 11 had been fired and 13 hired. There was a new de­ partment of municipal affairs with 14 employees. The Government ad­ mitted that there had been 1,330 dismissals, including some 400 re­ turned men, but they did not answer the question as to how many had been placed on the pay-roll. What had been the advantage of a change, he asked. With respect to Mr. Stevens, the Tor- nto member pointed out that hr- had been a member of the Gov­ ernment for four years- and if there were the mistakes he charged then he must accept his share of respon­ sibility. The speaker warned that demo­ cracy was at stake. He pointed to the position of some of the Europ­ ean countries where, the vote had been lost because the voters went “haywire at the polls.*’ . - ----------------.—num--, : . ........... .... ■ - - ■- ■■•■■■■ -fr- An Otherwise Beautiful Face Sadly Marred by Pimples This skin disease is caused by an impure condition of the blood, and, although not a serious trouble, causes distress, not as a physical pain, but on account of the mental suffering duo to the embarrassing disfigurement of the face.

Conservatives of Huron-Perth on the type of men who had been nom­ inated and had spoken. He had never heard four finer addresses iby nom­ inees. He assured the candidate that the Western Ontario associa­ tion would give him every possible assistance in the canjpaign. He urg­ ed the Conservatives of the riding to get behind the candidate. Organ­ ization was the great thing. There would ibe nearly a million new voters in the coming election, Many of these were young -people, the record of the past five years. It was also- 'important that these new voters should be instructed what Mr. King and. his lieutenants did or did not do (between 1921 and 1930. The speaker pointed to the pro­ blems which were left on the door­ step of the present Government by the King regime. He told -of being in the office of a minister of the Bennett Government shortly after the election and was shown a pile of contracts which had (been entered into by the King Government after their defeat at the polls. One of the contracts amounted to $7'5,000. Mr. Lesueur particularly objected to charges that Mr. Bennett was not sincere. He had had many personal contacts with the premier and it was not possible to meet him and doubt his sincerity. He quoted Henri Bour­ assa, an Independent-Liberal, in the House of Commons, in support of his contention. WOODHAM (Too late for last week) A good attendance marked the Woodham Mission Circle which was held at the home of Miss J. Thomp­ son on Monday evening of this' week. The president opened the meeting with a hymn and prayer. Those who took part in the worship service were as follows: Evelyn Camm read the Scripture Leisson; Ethel Copeland, took the Devotional Leaflet; prayer by Janet Thompson; poem by Olive Langford. Hymn 231 was sung and the minutes of last meeting were read and the roll call was answered by "one of our favorite missionar­ ies.” A dialogue was given by the Misses Viola Jaques and Florence Kirk; a poem by Laura Rundle and the meeting was closed by the bene­ diction. The. hostess then served dainty refreshments. Anniversary services will be held at Woodham Church Oct. 13th. Miss Jean Fotheringham, Bruce- field, has been the guest of Mrs. Clarence Mills for a few days. Miss Dorothy Camm spent the week-end at the home of her par­ ents here. BRIDE SHOWERED A very pleasant gathering took place at the home of Mrs. I. Dodds, grandmother of Miss Doris Miller of Clint-on, in whose honor the girls assembled. The young ladies of the Pliilathea class of Ontario Street Sunday School presented her with a prettily decorated basket laden with Crystal while another basket was presented with cream and green graniteware. Good Opinion of Herself Boss'— "Well, good-day. Please send one of the other applicants in.” Phyllis—"They haven’t waited.' They knew they,, had no chance if you turned me down.” Farm News Take Out- the Weeds Although modern seed cleaning machinery will do- a great deal to take -out weed seed^ from grass and clover seed it will not make perfect separation in' all cases. In fields for seed weeds should be taken out in the summer so as to make possible high grades and best prices,Such weeds as mustard, daisies, blader campion, white cockle and other classed as noxious should be remov­ ed during the summer so as to keep them out of seed crops and, what is just as important, keep them from seeding themselves again. Protecting Potatoes From Injury It has demonstrated convincing­ ly that potatoes produced on wet land develop a. tender skin and are more subject to injury when dug. Potatoes produced under such condi­ tions, therefore, should be handled very carefully. While potatoes grown in dry soil are less liable to- 'injury, they are often injured through the fact that this type of soil is not car­ ried over the digger. T-o compensate this disadvantage, when elevator diggers are used sufficient soil should be taken up to prevent the tubers coming into direct contact with the moving parts of the ma­ chine. The Racket of Robber Hees Although honey stealing by'bees is likely to be most troublesome in late summer, the beekeeper has to keep in mind that robber bees may start their racket any time. In warm weather when there is little or no money to> be got from the flowers the bees will easily yield to any temptation to obtain it anyhow. Af* ter more or less fighting they will overpower any very weak colonies, and carry the honey to their own hives. Old robber bees have a shiny appearance, the hair having become worn off with entering s-o many dif­ ferent hives. No- colony should be allowed to grow weak, say the Do­ minion apiarist, and no- honey or sy­ rup should be exposed in the apiary. Crate Feeding of Poultry Crate feeding of poultry gives the highest quality of flesh, and feeding in clean sanitary pens makes the substitute. Only healthy birds of any kind .will pay. Before confirm­ ing the birds in crates or pens they should be given a laxative and freed of lice. Feed sparingly at first, Two to four webs are required for fin­ ishing. At the Central Experiment­ al Farm, it has been round that al­ most any good mixture of home­ grown grains, finely ground and mixed with milk, will answer. A satisfactory finishing ration may be composed of the following: one part finely ground whole wheat; one part finely "ground whole barley; and one part finely ground whole oats. After Harvest Cultivation After harvest cultivation is one of the most practical and most effect­ ive methods which the farmer can adopt to control weeds, if possible, the work should be undertaken with a view of preventing the ripening of the current year’s, seed as well as fighting a weakened Toot. Heat, sunlight and dry weather will assist greatly in the control of weeds at this time. Experiments have proven and it has been the ex­ perience of many farmers through­ out the province that the roots even of our most persistent weeds- cannot stand heat and dryness when brought to the surface. For the control of annual, winter annual and biennial weeds thorough cultivation of the stubble is recom­ mended immediately after the crop has been removed, using the disc or cultivator. By following this method, seeds are brought near the surface Increased Profits Through Decreased Hauling Costs!

When this plan in followed and the soil is stir­ red up young plants will be killed and those which sprout late in the fall will be destroyed by early frosts. Many farmens. skim plow immediate­ ly after the crop has been removed than harrow and cultivate at regu­ lar intervals until freeze up. By plowing shallow weed seeds are kept near the surface where they sprout and are killed by cultivation. An abundance of moisture together with the methods outlined above will assist in controlling weeds such as Wild Mustard, Stinkweek, Ragweed, Worm Seed Mustard, Fake Flax, foxta'il, Lambs’ Quarters, Pigweed, Shepherd's Purse etc. Burley Tobacco Marketing Scheme The Burley Tobacco Marketing Scheme has been officially approved upon the recommendation of the Do-, minion Marketing Board. The scheme relates to the marketing of hurley tobacco grown in the Province of Ontario, and is, in moist respects, similiar to the Flue-Cured Tobacco Marketing Scheme. There has been a lack of any co­ ordinated action in marketing which has led to most unsatisfactory re­ turns to the producer, according to the Dominion Marketing Board, and it is believed that improved condi­ tions will result from the operaton of the scheme. Bry a system of crop appraisal and the providing of ne­ gotiations between the producers and buyers it is contemplated that price stabilization will be achieved. The Local Board will consist of fifteen members representing Burley Associations, packers and manufac­ turers, There is a Provisional Board named to hold'office until the Local Board is elected in October. The Head Office of the Local Board will be in Chatham, Ont, Apple Crop Outlook A slight increase is expected in the apple crap in Canada over last MBS season, according to preliminary es­ timates. The estimate is for 4,045,- 000 barrels compared with 3,891,* 000 in 1934, with the largest in­ crease indicated in Ontario. Nova Scotia is about the same, New Bruns­ wick larger, Quebec larger, while British Columbia, the box apple dis­ trict of the Dominion, shows a very slight increase. Eastern Ontario In this part of the province apple scab is quite prevalent on foliage and fruit in many orchards due to frequent raine from June 10 tO' 24, which rendered spraying difficult. Early varieties of apples, such as McIntosh, Snow, Wealthy, Wolfe River, Alexander and Baxter, pnom- ' ise a good crop, perhaps 20 to 25 per cent, heavier than last season. Late varieties such as Spy, Baldwin, Stark, Ben Davis, Cranberry Pippin, R. 1. Greenings and Russet have set very patchy „with some orchards showing fair ffrops. The June drop wag, heavy and it is doubtful if there will be as great a yield of any of these varieties as last season. Spies are father spotty and will yield about the same as last yeai’ while Stark and Ben Davis show a heavy decrease. The light crop of late ap­ ples is d.ue to many weak' trees that suffered injury from the severe win­ ters of 1933( 1934. Tree mortality was heavy again this season and from Port Hope east 50 per cent, of all trees over 25 years of age are now dead. On June 24 a severe hailstorm caused losses ranging from 15 to 100 per cent, of the crop in the Colborne and Brighton districts on about 400 acres of orchards. Western Ontario The apples are sizing well due to the plentiful supply of moisture. Very little insect injury is evident. There has been' quite a heavy drop of Spy and Greening. Baldwin, Greening and McIntosh will show a considerable increase in yield over last year. CT-95C
