FOR YOUR POULTRY VISIT OAC—Members of Exeter District Co-operative Association are seen chatting in front of the Administration Building of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, during a recent visit of their organization to the College. Left to right are Tom Yel­ low, Milfred and Ted,Prouty. .—OAC Photo 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.

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. —Please Turn to Page 10 Calendar (No charges are made for items in ,Vour Farm Calendar.

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. DID YOU KNOW?
