The /Debate on the Speech from
the . Tyrone commenced.^ on Monday
and was ~ completed last night
the
on
and
at 10 o’clock. Naturally; we listened
iyith. the greatest interest to the
speecnv of the- Rt. Hpn. R.. B. Ben
nett,- Leader of the Opposition. He
offered a considerable amount of
criticism, but it is significant that
no, amendment to the Speech from
the /Throne w^s . made by. him. One
prediction that was outstanding was
to the effect “that in two years the
country would be ruined/ on account of
the Japanese Trade Agreement; Time
f/one will tell! I
It was very interesting -to watch
the Prime Minister and the Leader
of , the Opposition /matching wits,
across the floor of the House. The
seating arrangements are such that
the two leaders face each other
about half way down the side - of
the Chamber.
The new groups spoke at length
and wasted a great deal of the tinje
of the House in advising us of the
serious situation in the West—of
which we are all aware. I looked
for some suggestiqp^from the Social
Credit leader as to embarking on
So.cial Credit ideas, but not one word
of the kind.
.. j. think -one ~of the- high lights of
the weiek was the speech by the Hon.
H. H. Stevens^ who combines, in his
person, leader, party, cabinet -and
whip, being thebnly Reconstruc-
tipnist elected to the House. He is a
very forcible speaker and I believe
leads more to LiberalthanConserva-
--t-ive--principles—with-^-the—one—excep-
-tion-t-hat-;hethinks-we—do—not—re
quire external trade.
However, I was very much sur
prised to find <<that when the vote
was taken in the House last night,
the Honourable gentleman Was ab
sent Apparently (he. did not con
sider it worth while to cast his vote.
As a matter of fact, he has been
seldom in the House since it opened.
It is also somewhat of a surprise
to me to find the Member for Grey-
Bruce, Miss Agnes Macphail, casting
her lot in with the C.C.F. and voting
with them.
The vote last night was one of
the largest in favour of any Gov
ernment ever recorded in the history
of Canada, the majority being, I
believ 200, a considerable number
of the Conservatives, including their
Leader, voting with the Government.

3Much Use For Waste Baskets
Every newspaper office today needs
new equipment in the way of waste
baskets. The increasing demand
made for • free /publicity . has grown
to such an extent the baskets are
filled to overflowing. These agencies
and firms see-in. to . forget that it
takes monejr to operate ,,a newspaper.
Much of the matfrir may be good
but we, must consider our readers
„ and give them the news of the dis
trict and' any, information we- believe
of value to them. All other articles
are. consigned to the waste basket.
SNOWPLOWING NOT POPULAR
* The snowplowing, of the roads by
the County Council is not a popular
move in these parts and in our opin
ion the matter should be -given con-:
sideration from every angle before
anothet winter rolls around. At the
present time the road between Tara
. and Allenford is in the worst con
dition in many years, much worse
than' if a plow had never been over
it.'With the sides -of the road piled
.high with snow by the plow, the
roair drifts full with every blow,
malting it practfch’lly' impassable. .A8

INCREASING OF CORN BORERS
MERITS ATTENTION
The very marked increase, in' the
corn borer population this year has
been reported by the Departments
of Agriculture. While the actual
number of corn borers may not be
very detrimental to the corn crop
at present, the rate of increase not
ed last-season will soon bring7 about
a return of serious conditions „ if
continued- It is, therefore, of the
utmost importance thkt . all control
measures possible should be utilized
in order that the. number of borers
which survive to make next season’s
population may be kept to niinL
miim. Thp&e control measures have
been widely/ published and should be
.foiiowed^lbaely; / '......."
The growing of a corn /crop un
der conditibns of . corn b/OTef infes
tation will be influenced by two fac
tors, namely, the choice of variety'
>r strain and the time of planting.,

er infestatioiir Thew'timCTOif,^a'ifting“i
has also been found to influence th^e
number of borers present, f since'/
when planting has been delayed until
about June 1, a considerable reduc
tion in the infestation has been- ob
served. By further delaying the time
of planting until, about Jtme 10, I a
further reduction in corn borer num
bers were noted., In ’conjunction with
this practise of delaying the date

he remembered that strains of corn
which are suitable fop! planting at
the normal time may /n|>t be planjted
too late without increasing- the haz
ard of„ failure <d /properly' mature
before frost. In order to delay plant
ing- after June 1, it would appear
necessary to use an earlier-maturing
'.train under most condition. /
From these observations it./would
appear very important to practise
rigid control measures. and/to use
rood judgement in the | matter of
•hoice of strain to-be used and the
me at which it should . be' planted
to best, advantage.
