CURRENT FARM REPORTS
Grey . County auctioneers report
chat proceeds ,of auction sales this
year are about 25% better than a
year ago. Cash payments by pur
chasers are also higher.’ There is a
keen demand for livestock.there and
good horses are bringing attractive,
prices. Huron reports that feeders-
of market cattle are disappointed
with present prices and, some ar.e
holding back thSir shipmerits. North
Simcoe, in common with many other
districts has been heaVily snowbound
a fact which enhances prospects for
wheat arid clover. A shortage of ex
perienced farm help is anticipated
there, a condition which’seems- quite
general. Work horses are in demand
in Lambton county, prices ranging
from $90. to $1^0. In Middlesex there
have been complaints of serious in
jury to orchards by mice and rabbits.

Bruce Member Makes
„ Maiden Speech In House
W. R. Tomlinson Attacked Political
' Patronage System In Speaking On
Bill To • Amend Ciyfl Seryice Act.
Mr. W, R. Tomlinson? M.P., for
Bruce, made his maiden speech at
Ottawa last week, in speaking on
the bill to amend the Civil Service
Act, when he denounced the political
patronage system, during which he
iroused the ire of the oppositio.n.
The principal text of Mr. Tomlin-
>pn’s speech as it appeared in Han
sard is as follows.:
Mr. W. R. TOMLINSON (Bruce):
Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak in thi|s
house for the first time on this bill_:
o amend the Civil Service Act. I
’istened very intently to the right
bon. leader of the , opposition (Mr.
Bennett) the other night when he
mt forth such a wonderful effort in
lefence of that act. He did his ut
most to convince me that during the
^erm of office of his government the
principles underlying that act were
ipheld to the full. That was what
jhe. wished to . convey, to my mind. I
go back to 1918, when the act was
first, amended to include the outside
service, and I find that at that time
Mr. Bureau said:
“This act has for its purpose to
make the service efficient, to employ
the best mtn and to make them feel
hey are going to be treated in* a
iroper way—”
Apparently, during the period from
1918 to 1923 abuses crept into the
not; a committee was Hrmed and
what was known as the Malcolm re
port was brought into the house.
This committee suggested a . great
many amendments* to the act, but
apparently no serious action was
taken. Then, in 1930 a new govern-
merit came into power, and what
happened from one end of this coun
try to ■ the other ? Civil servants—
yes, and' a good many in my. riding
-had their heads cut - clean off; I
•ah cite case after case of that kind
in my own -constituency,’ and I
speak of that riding because I have
knowledge of the facts. Appoint
ments were made in direct opposi-.
were nine tables and Mrs
Rice won the highest .score for
ladies and Rev. H. M, Wiigfit
the gentlemen.

Huron Fruit Growers
Convened At Clinton

To OrchardsKenneth Cameron
And Wes. Joynt Directors Of As
sociation.
Approximately thirty-five orchard
men attended the annual meeting of
the Huron County Fruif Growers’"
Association which was held in the-
Agricultural ’Office,,Clinton, on Sat
urday afternoon. The president, Mr.
George Laithwaite, 'presided and-in,
his opening remarks he, drew-atten
tion to the amount of damage which
has been dofib. by mice-and rabbits
-to thp apple, orchards during the
past winter. Several' growers-,
in the discussion and brought out the
fact that a considerable number of
young trees have been ruined;
Mr. W. A. Ross of the Entomolog
ical ^Laboratory, Dominion ExperL
mental Station, Vineland, addressed
the. meeting, taking as His 'subject,
‘Some Comments on the 1936 Spray
Calendar for Apples”. Mr. Ross
proved to be a very interesting
speaker and during the course of
his address he explained the prepar
ation and timing of each spray ap
plication, emphasizing the fac.t that
timeliness and thoroughness are °f
_niajp.r importance in securing a
crop of: cieap fimit. " He rmenttoi)ed
the work which has been undertaken
in the control of the Apple Maggot
and stated that of 2,796 orchards in
spected last fall, 1821 oi<65% were
found) to be free of Apple Maggot
infestation., He - was. hopeful that
this orchard pest would some, day.
be completely’ exterminated.
Mr. S. R. Fyost 'of the American
Cyanamid Company was in', atten
dance and gave a short address' knt’
the. use- of commercial fertilizers in.
tjie orchard, paying, particular at
tention to the application and use
of nitrogen fertilizers. Hg answered
a number of questions relative to
the .maintenance of soil fertility.
Mr. Gordon Blair of the Niagara’
Brand Spray Company. Burlington,
was asked to- address, the meeting
and he confined his remarks largely
to a discussion of some of the non-,
; caustic spray‘materials hoiv on . the
market. Following. Mr. . Blair’s re?,
marks, it wias decided that the As
sociation would purchase supplies,
from the Niagara/ Brand * Spray
Company, and that the Secretary,
Mr. Tan MacLeod, would be respon
sible in securing the • individual ofa

extended to the three speakers on
motion of Messrs. Joynt and Sterling.

cardine. They held an apparent ex-;
amiriation> returned soldiers were
supposed to get a preference. The
person appointed was right out of
the office of the defeated candidate,
and he was not a returned soldier
in any case. Objection was raised
by the returned soldiers, but nothing
further happened. In the other part
of my riding a. medical officer was
appointed to attend to the needs of
the invalids. He was not under the
civil service commission during the
r,,it|eral regime, but when the Con
servative government felt their de
feat to be imminent apparently they
lecided to cut off this man’s, head and
i p point their own Conservative med
ical officer. They did so, but they
wanted to make his appointment
. ;afe, so they placed him under the
ivil service commission.
* At this point, Mr. ’Tomlinson was
interrupted several times by. a mem-'
>er of the opposition, but the Speak
er ruled for Mr. Tomlinson to pro
ceed, allowing him to Continuer his
-tpeech without further interruption.
Mr. Tomlinson spoke at some length
on this same question when it came
up later in |he week for a., second
reading of the bill. •

FOOD POISONING
Food has wpiayed an important

been, a factor in revolutions; the cry
of the hungry masses for bread was
Heard' in both Rome and Paris . and
has been re-echoed in most cities. A
-deficiency- in., the quality „ P.f_. food... „.
caused scurvy which decimated ar
mies, and-, navies,. Tainted foods have__
caused many ah epidemic of national
,significance. , . v • ' . '
“Food poisoning” is a term which
should be restricted to the ingestion .
of such poisons as arsenic in food,,
“Food infection”, dr. intoxication, is
a better term to express the condi
tion which results from the use of ...
foods contaminated with’Certain bac? .
ceria, and their products.
Thp usual history is that, from two
to six 'hours after eating,^jjjij^sion-
illy delayed for as long as twenty-
four- hours, there is .abdominal pain,
