The government’s use of clos
ure in the pipeline'issue is “an
inexcusable affrojit to parliament
and a denial of parliamentary
rights,”, Flston Cardiff, t Huron
MP, charged in a radio speech
Sunday.
The proposal to loan Trans
Canada Pipeline Company Ltd.
$80,000,000 “is nothing else but
a raid, and it is because it is a
raid perpetuated on the Can
adian treasury, that it has been
done by closure.”
In his speech, prepared while
debate was still in committee,
Mr.' Cardiff criticized Mr. Howe’s
determination to give .the con
tract to Trans-Canada Pipeline
despite its failure to live up to
its agreement with the govern
ment,
Commenting on the debate, the
Huron MP said: •
“The Hon. C. D, Howe had
some difficulty in justifying the
position taken by the Govern
ment in retaining the Trans
Canada Pipeline Company Ltd.,
notwithstanding that they had
completely fallen down in their
agreement of five years ago.
“When the agreement was
signed, the company agreed to
build the pipe line without any
financial assistance of any kind
from the Government; it was to
be an all Canadian pipe
controlled by Canadiahs.
Back To Howe
MpAfter three years delay
Rme back to Mr. Howe. I say
Mk. Howe because he was the
only member of the cabinet who
seemed to know anything about
what was going on. They told (with this kind of backing?
him that they were unable to ~ ‘
raise the necessary money from
private sources to build the
northern portion of the line. This
was the section from Manitoba
to Kapuskasing, so in order that
this company could be retained
at any cost, the Government
agreed to build this portion of
the line with help from the On
tario Government to the extent
of 35 million' dollars. The On
tario Government and the Dom
inion Government, were to form
a Crown Company to build this
northern section. This .section is
by fai- the toughest and most
difficult part of the line.
“One ypould have thought that
when the Government took over
this portion of the line everything
from then on would have been
clear sailing so far as the Pipe
line Company was concerned;
but such was not the case for
once again back , comes the
spokesman for the Trans-Canada
Pipe Line Company stating that
they were * still not able to find
the necessary money and asked
the Government to ’ loan them
eighty million dollars to build
the. first section of the pipe line
from Alberta to Winnipeg.
“That was considered to be
the easiest part of the contract.
Because of the fact that Mr.
Howe considers this, to be the
only company who can build
the line, he agreed to loan the’
$80,000,000, and in addition, find
90tf of every dollar needed .to
construct the line. Ask yourself
who couldn’t build a pipe line

Received Other Proposals
“If this had been tne only offer
then perhaps the . Government
could be justified in retaining
the services of this company,
notwithstanding the fact they had
broken all promises in the agree
ment. By continual prodding by
the Opposition, the Government
admitted having, two other pro
posals both of which agreed to
build the line without any as
sistance from the Government at
all. These offers were turned
down by the Government, with
out giving,any excuse-as to the
reasons, mainly because Mr.
How.e could only see one con
tractor.
“In order to get any consid
eration from this Government it
is necessary to have some pull,
and . apparently ‘this Company
have plenty of pull necessary to
hold the contract. The agreement
has nothing to do with it, be
cause this Company have not
lived up to any part of the agree
ment first signed.
'“The Minister of Finance had
considerable to aay about the
Ontario Government being in ac
cord with the Dominion Govern
ment. The fact 'is the Ontario
Government had ho alternative
but to go along with the plans
made,. by the Federal Govern
ment if they wanted gas. Matter
of fact they ’were caught in a
squeeze, and did the only thing
they could do. The Federal Lib
erals, are using the Ontario Con
servative Government to take
them off the hook when they are
being pressed by the Opposition
for neglect of duty.
Will Not-Be Canadian
“While it has been staled that
the Clint Murchisons of Texas
have not the controlling interest
of Trans-Canadian Pipe Line
Company, the fact remains they
hold 25% of all the stock of
Trans-Canada. Eighty-three per
cent of the Trans Canada Pipe
Line stock .is held by Americans.
Ro far as Canadian^ being able
to have control of Trans-Canada
by buying 51% of the shares,
this is all eye-wash. Their record
up to now has been deceptive
finance, false promises, and un
justified ' hopes. Now they . are
sitting in the privileged position
of being the only company who
have been able to attract the
good-will of the Government.
-“After five 'years of stalling,
the Government now finds it
necessary to jiut on closure so
that this Company can get start
ed by June 7, and this is the
exact result of all the delay with'
the passage of this bill. After
much prodding the facts, were
brought out-that McMahon had
submitted a definite offer to Mr.
Howe, and Mr. Howe had this
offer in his possession' for weeks
without even the Prime Minister
or the Cabinet knowing anything
about it.

Not too many farmers grow
soybeans for a cash Crop, but a
brochure we received recently
does lead one to believe they
can be a profitable crop. Soy
bean acreage probably Will be
at an all-time high this, year
(U S reports same conditions).
Like all crops, low yields per
acre,don’t lead to large profits.
The first- thing to do is ob
tain an adapted variety for this
area. This can give profits a
real boost. Don’t be fooled in
larger yields of late maturing
varieties-you can lose every
thing.
Soybeans can be planted earli
er than corn, subject to frost
date, and they do well when
planted later, too. However, weed
hazards are greater with early
planting and if you have weed
problems they suggest to not
plant too early.
Soybeans are not very respon
sive to fertilizer if planted on
land of average fertility. Appli
cation of 150 lbs. of 0-20-20 will
hasten maturity and improve
quality of crop. Soil tests are
recommended for top yields.
When planting be especially
certain that fertilizer does not
ceme in contact with seed. Nit
rogen fertilization is not recom
mended and other fertilizer
should be planted previous to
date of seeding.
For the highest yield, some
inoculant should be used if-you
haven’t grown them before.
Tests indicate 5.4 bushel increase
per acre with inoculated Seed
and make certain that the ger
mination of the seed is O.K.
Seed should germinate at least
80% to give Satisfactory 'yields
with normal planting rates. The
suggested rate being 60 lbs. for
28” rows. Maximum yields can
be expected with good weed con*
trol when plants are 116 to 316
inches apart. Highest yields in
test plots were grown when rows
were 24” apart. Whether you
wish to change over the culti
vator from 2” is up to the in
dividual.
Soybeans should not be plant
ed deep, one inch of soil cover
ing is adequate for early plant
ing. If a crust forms a harrow
ing or a trip over with rotary
weeder will pay big dividends.
AU in all the planting and care
of soybeans closely parallels all
the good practices' of growing
white beans, but - they remove
the wet weather risk at harvest
time. At the same time they
wiU average over -a period of
years almost the same net prof
it.

Visit Kent Herds
A busload of Huron Holstein
breeders spent Wednesday in
Kent county visiting top dairy
herds there.
They inspected the farm of
Mooney Campbell, Blenheim,
which operates an outstanding
loose-housing program. Mr.
Campbell’s herd of registered
Holsteins was the highest pro
ducing herd in Canada in 1955,
Local breeders also inspected
the herd of Roy Warwick, Blen
heim, and toured the Western
Ontario Agricultural School and
Experimental Farm, Ridgetown.
Before returning home, they
visited the Dominion Glass Co.
plant at Wallaceburg. »
