Mere man might hope she would avoid bringing spite and malice, cut and cavil, to the public prints. Miss June. Callwood, most potab- ly among ladies assigned to report the current Royal Visit, has poured enough gall into newspaper ink to poison the upper atmosphere, A. venomous piece by Miss Call- wood occupied nearly a quarter of a page Tonto Star. After cit- ing many suggeSdOns attribi:fted• to no one — that the Queen might have done many things not included in her schedule for Quebec' . and Three RiVerS, and finding: fault with the Queen on that account,' Callwood mentions thaithere-*.sr: 3444 page itinerary for the entire tour. dignity and acceptance." Who would swallow this hokum about a fine young woman who stay- ed in London during the worst air raids, who square-danced in Ottawa, who circled the globe, who flew from Kenya to her father's funeral in London,, who suffers in silence the slings and arrows of poisoned pens? Sad to say, some people do not ques- . tion what they. read, Whatever Miss Callwood's pur- pose may be, her personal reflections upon. the wearer of the Crown may -be- looked ".at'in -- the' .light-of her- authorship of an article featured in- magatine; "Why Canadians Resent the Queen." fIer writing-Makes it clear that , •• • • - .-• " sAc'''fislhothing to teach the Queen abo4qu'eenliness, or thoughfulness..

The plans mean nothing to Miss Callwood, who carps andchides, and who grossly confuses and miSleadi the unsuspecting, uncritical reader with this sort, of nonsense (all bold face and bracketed corriments are ours); "By what seems a blunder as in- comprehensible as ridihg at the; head of a parade while facing the wrong end. of the horse.

Craspe would have been enchanted if the Queen and the Duke had suddenly yielded to the impulse to picnic in the sun (whose impulse?) and they might have found time (who says so?) to ride in a caleche through Lower Town in Quebec City," Miss Cailwood adds the gratu- itous information that the Queen "is still quavery about adventures that . haven't been tested and foitrid full of • MARKET CONTROL GOOD OR BAD? The secret of successful agricul- ture country lieS in producing the'lcropS, the, market will buy, arid selling than at ' prices the market will pay says "The Rural Scene". For many years our Departments of Agriculture,, both Federal and provincial, did invaluable work in impressing this fact on the farmers of Canada, and helping to establish Canadian agriculture on a sound and permanent foundation, [ :They took a leading part in seek- ing out "the crops best suited to our soil:arid our'climate, and most accep- table to the available markets. They deVeloped[ .better methods of pro- duction and found, ways of combat- ting-frost, drought, rust, weeds, Soil, erosion, plant diseases, insect pests and all the other ills with Whichthe industry had to contend. studied the needs of the markets and established grades and standar4s that gave Canadian farm products an enviable reputation for dependability in' outside markets; and they impressed our farmers with the importance of catering to the needs, of the markets, of accepting free Market prides for their products, and Of keeping their operating costs within.those prices. At -that time it. was the proud boast. of Canadian farmers that all. they .asked was a fair field and no favors, and they would stand on theirfown feet.. They organized and fOught.mOnopolies in the marketing of their crops —.and they did not at- tempt to create monopolies of their own. There is considerable doubt as to the:extent to which the Ministers of Agriculture themselves believe in this new policy, Though he has not said so in as many words, there is plenty of evidence that Federal Min- ister Harkness is worried about the ultimate result of his price support policy, and whether it will be pos- sible to continue giving the farmers the price supports they want without having to impose on them the pro- duction controls which they don't want: , The late Thomas L. Kennedy, who was Minister of Agriculture for" Ontario during the years when most of the provinces' marketing controls were made law, and who had an un- canny knack of knowing what the farmers were thinking, had second thoughts about the marketing legis- ration after he retired from active politics and had time for serious thinking- on the matter. In his re- cently published book he says :. "I think we've gone too far in agricultural controls. Instead, of helping the farmer to compete we are regulating him to death. Mar- keting regulations are Supposed to increase prices through quality, 13ut instead of raising quality they tend to lower it . I believe marketing schemes should foster good-will in our agricultural world, along with .better quality arid higher prices, But marketing that leads to regimenta- tion and red-tape bureaucracy will always be resisted by our farm com- rnunity Tht\Vingharn Advance.Times Published et Wing' ern, Ontario Wenger Btothere, leitblishere Berry Webeet, Editor , Meilibet Alait Bureau bf Circulation Ailtheeleed e.e Second Chile Mali, Pciet Offiet DOC ilubseripOOP Rote bet 'tier [at.* Si* Months tali} lit *Nine* t1,6.• A., #4.40 .pkr year Fiorito nate S4;00 per year [AdVettleing Rats oft leeeilleittlat Th who um Adworsoo-Times. we4twouto, .441y 1•00 WHY BE SO MALICIOUS? ii •• D118,4[021/ FIUDNUT TABU REVLON DA - VerERiNARY efeePeet /E4' 717'y kee-eiet— • C7'.4.-0,--ef-Z-. 18 Give your car our care and feeding Everybody knows . . you only get out what you,. put in.
