G.Mere Ottawa -.--Oleins' demonstrating the extstenee of it North Atlantic Shipping combine whose operations are result- ing in serious freight rate and passers - ger rate discrimination agfi tana- dlali t'nade and Canadian ports as emu- '* pared with almost every other nation Hon. Thomas A. Low, Minister of Trade end 'Commerce, on Tuesday last, introduced in the House of Cotnntous the mucheheratded plan to control and reduce ocean freight rates by paying it cash consideration to an English ship. ing firers headed by Sir William Peter- son, Mr. Low's speech in exposition of that scheme and the lively debate which followed were the features of an otherwise dull week in Parliament. Proper emphasis was laid by the Minister on the fact that the Alun had Rs foundation In the report of the Special Committee on Agricultural Conditions which two sessions ago, under the etairmanshtp of Andrew R. McMaster'(Brome, Quebec), made a unanfinous report to Parliament show - Ing that a combine existed and that it was doing grave injury to Canadian trade, He also stressed the fact that, while It secured abundantevidence on this combine, from the Canadian end, the report recently tabled in the Ifouse of Commons, and from the hand of W. T. R. Preston was.lergely supplement- ary to the Committee's report by add- ing to its evidence that gathered by Mr. Preston in Great Britain and Eur- ope. Conservatives Critical of Preston Report Conservative •opposition to the Gov- ernment's plan, as expressed by Hon. 11. H. Stevens, ('Centre Vapcouver) and previously by Donald Sutherland, was not so much aimed at the issue of the existence of a combine as at •the author- ship off the Pression report, Mr. Low pointed out that denunciation of Mr. Preston was mot effective criticism of the plan. The Government was not concerned with the reports authorship but rather with the report's contents which showed conclusively that exor- bitant freight rates were being charged against Canadian shippers, as compar- ed with South 'African and other ship- pers within the British Empire, and the urgency of taking same vigorous steps to remedy an intolerable situat- ion. Mr, Low also told the House that the Conservatives themselves when in power took action to ascertain the facts with regard to the control of ocean freight rates and both Sir Henry Dray- ton and Sir George Foster, who head- ed commissions of enquiry reported to Parliament the extent to which the North Atlantic Conference militated, against :Canadian interests. Having shown the seriousness of the evil, Mr. Low left the details of the plan to rem- edy 'that evil for later consideration by other speakers and asked or proposed that a special committee of the House be named to deal with this whole ques- tion. This coming week may see the conclusion of the preliminary discus- sion on this subject and its reference to the committee. Combine Has Effective Lobby Before that special committee the members of the North Atlantic Ship- ping Conference, most of (whom have their offices in Montreal, will be re- quested to state fully their objections to the pllan, and also to back up with facts and figures, if possible, their challenges to the assertions contained fn the Preston report As this is the principal piece of Government legisla- tion to be dealt with this session the progress of .the scheme in committee will be watched with deep interest throughout the country. Ever since its'announcement a short time ago a vigorous "lobby" against the plan has been conducted, and this fact was pointed ito last Friday by Hon. James A. Robb, Acting Minister of Finance, as the best proof of its effectiveness. Progressives Waiting for Evidence Outside the Conservative ranks the objections taken to the plan are on the ground that it will involve the sub- sidizing of a fleet of vessels to com- pete with the ships of the :North M- lantic Conference. Many in the House dislike the idea of a subsidy and some CAR OF ( fire Bones riniin and !urUy Progressives have openly stated that they would stoutly oppose the intron-. uetiof of e subsidy, On the whole, .the Progressives *are withholding their views of the plan until there is op- portunity of btudying the evidence to be submitted to the special committee. If that committee's efforts result in tirtnity establishing the eceudt£cy of the facts WI figures eonttalned in both the Preston report and the report of elle Special Committee two sessions ago then they will suiplp'ort the Government in its seance In fact, the Progressive members of ithe McMaster 1Commlttee were most active in efforts 10 get eve idence from the steamship people when that cotfmittee was functioning, and are very anxious that \the :Dien can be made to work so that the marketing of their wheat and cattle in the European centres may be made less costly. Curbing the. Hand Book Men Some clever skirmishing for position marked the debate on Monday follow- ing the motion of W. C. Good, Progres- sive member for ]Brunk, that public gambling at race tracks be aboiished. After he had presented his case in sup- port of his resolution, Fred. Stork, Lib- eral member for Skeena, B, G., moved an amendment aiming at the prohibit- ion of the hand book business whu:h, as a Metter of fact, thrives best when the races are farthest away from the scene of the betting, Contending that the subject matter of the Stork amend. meat was not revertant to the .subject matter of his own resolution, Mr. Good appealed to the Chair against permit- ting that amendment. The Chair, oc- cupied at the time by Deputy -Speaker G. N. Gordon, of Peterboro, ruled that the amendment was in order and. nn the Ohair's rutting being challenged, a vote of the House was taken which re- sulted in sustaining the Chair. Then later came an amendment to the am- endment by A. W. Neill, member for Comox-Alberni, calling for the prohib- ition of pariemutuels at Canadian race- tracks. Uate In the evening the House voted on the Neill sub -amendment which was defeated by a poll of 97 to 36. Then the Stork amendment was carried by fa vote of to8 to 74. Fol- lowing this vote, J. L. Brown, Progres- sive member for Lisgar, moved another amendment to the Stork motion and aimed to prohibit gambling not only at racetracks but outside of racetracks. This was voted down by a poll of 92 to 77. The net result of the motions and amendments and the voting there- on was that the House approved of the legislation introduced two years ago by Sir Lamer Gouin, then Minister of Justice, to amend the Criminal 'Code with a view 'to curb if not eliminate the hand book business. That legisla- tion was rejected by the Senate and a few days ago Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Justice, announced his In- tention of re -Introducing at an early date the same Criminal Code amend- ment. Rum -running Treaty Ratified General approval of the Dominion Government's efforts to co-operate width the United States Government in curbing the growing evil of smuggling across the border—especially liquor and narcotics—was evident on Tues- day 'when the Prime Minister submit- ted to the House his resolution pro- viding for the ratification by the Can- adden 'Parliament of the proposed treaty between the two countries which has already been ratified by the United States Congress. The treaty will be in force for one year, according to the Prime Minister, and thereafter subject to 30 days' notice. It will become effeotive ten days after it has been ratified by the Canadian Parliament and after the exchange of ratifications between the two Governments. By providing for close co-operation he. tween the officials of the two countries it will mike much easier the suppres- sion of the smuggling of liquor, of narcotics and of merchandise across the international border and will be a long step toward putting a stop to the degradation of "ports" or towns alnog the Canadian shores of the Great Lakes that have been made the base of oper- ations for rum -runners, and also to- ward removing the causes for irritetien between the two countries in this mat- ter. HINTS ABOUT SEED With the advent of spring, Ontario farmers find themselves face to face and how to ,procure their supply of good seed. A consultation of the crop statistics. in possession 0 of the Department caul of p rim p Agricuiture reveals the feet that West- ern Ontario contributed over 75% of the total production of clover and grass seeds for the Dominion In '1923. For 1924 92 an equably large percentage may be expected. Ln. addition to this, the spring of 1925 finds us with an ex- ceptionally fins supply of oats and wheat. This would indicate that a sof• fickle quantity of seed is 'available for our home use, Where then lies the problem? In the selection of seed two contid- erati0ns always present a problem to the farmer. These are the suitability of the variety and the grade. Except In the lase of a crop le which the nuin- her of varieties in use is limited to one or two, the former is extremely lot portant. For years, our experimental farms and stations have tested and sel- ected all known varieties of our corm mon crops. As a result, vast improve. meats are evident in some varieties and it is shaven definitely that certain others are not suited to our soil and climatic Conditions. Of those that thrive in ou temperate climate, a fur- ther selection Is sometimes desirable according to local regteresients. It Is very unusual to find that a .pout variety has become c favorite in any district, A growing realization of tdfis is, no doubt, developing a preference for homegrown seed. For instance, it would be very difficult to sell a south- ern grown variety of alfalfa to the farm- ers in Peel County. This •preference for Ontario grown alfalfa seed is spreading throughout tore province and as a result, tt this eforage excellent crap is growing successfullyplaces that were previously considered un- suitable. Less trouble is usually elaperleneed with cereals. Any of the standard var- ieties which are offered on the mark- et may be considered "safe". The grower would do well to beware of the agent, who offers him a "marvellous new variety at the absurdly low price of three dollars a bushel". There are no known varieties of our common grains with which our cereafists are not familiar and any experimental stat- ion will be glad to classify and give all available information about the so - culled new variety. Most of the difficulties in the sale 01 seed, especially of the small seeds, oc- cur in connection with the grade. le is not lawful to sell for the purpose of seeding in Canada, clover or grass seeds unless they are :graded and lab- elled properly. But in spite of this, the custom of buying seed from neigh- bors and relying on their judgment for purity, is very common. Many a term- er who has bought and :sown in this wahas d Y had ample opportunity for leisurely repentance 'while roguing or summer fallowing, to rid his fields of the noxious weeds, The Seed Branch of the Dominion SHORTS yg /� p� $5.25, $1.6,5 $145 ER ,A�.F, BAER Phone 5 Brussels Department of Agriculture is at the ser- vice of farmers And will investigate any complaint received from a purchaser free of charge.

Many comiplaints are received at har- vest time of seed sown months prey- lously, Investigation in a case of this kind is alwtays difficult and unsatisfact- ory.

Church Union Bureau Issues Statement of Relative Values. A good deal of imisconception is a- broad regarding the relative financial strength of the Presbyterian and Meth- odist churches. Reports \have been received by the 'Church Union Bureau of information that statements are be- ing privately circulated that the Meth- odists are anxious for union in order to augment their financial strength. The values of real property and funds of elm Methodist Church are nearly $19,000,000 in excess of those of the Presbyterian Churdh, as the following table will show: Presbyterian.

Sued by Winnipeg Concern for Value of Oats Sent to Firm, Which Later Failed The appeal of the Goderich Elevator and Transit Company from the trial cle- dtsion winch held them liable to the Northern Grain Company of Winnipeg for the price of 70,000 Wishes of nate, was allowed by the Appetate Division, Toronto, on Friday. The oats were shipped to the elevator company from Fort William, and later instructions were given by the owners to deliver them to the Peerless Cereal Mills et Woodstock. That company went into liquidation and the Northern Grain Company sought to recover from the Goderich (Elevator Company the value of the grain, alleging that it should have been held until bills' of lading had been delivered. The Appelate Division holds that when the shipper's instruct- ions have been 'carried out the Elevat- or 'Company had done its duty. TAX COLLECTING.

A rather pecuilarey worded memor- andum on the project change has been received at ixlndon, The details of this memorandusp are as follows: The filing of returns, as in former years, must be done on or before April 30 and payment Oen also be made on or berfore that date or on instatlntenit plan, as formerly, lack of any spetifc' instructions on the latter point indicate OS. At the outset the .memorandum sets forth that income Rax returns may be filed wife the collector or subdallector of customs "at the nearestport or out - port, together with payment thereof." Further on, however, Pt states that pay- meat may be made to the inspector of taxation in cities whl4h form district headquarters, the inspector to mike daily records of assessments and to {sand these to the coliecitorof customs: Cities and Towns.' In cities and towns where there are Ito .inspectors of taxation, the coillec- tors or subcolleetors of customs 10 whom the income taxes are paid, are required to forward the records and payments to the iteepector of taxtation.

Neglected Graves in Ontario A few years ago during the regime of the Drury Government, the Prov- incial Legislature passed an act regard- ing the maintenance and care of cem- eteries in Ontario. This adt was the result of a public outcry against the neglect (hat is, apparent in so many cemeteries, iscattered throughout the rural lodaiities, containing the graves of pioneers who helped to lay the foundations of this fair province. The chief officer of health for Ontario, Dr. J. W. S. McCullough, whose depart- ment has the supervisidn of this work has sent a letter to the county coun- cils, who are charged by the act with the responsibility of caring for these cemeteries, in which the neglect Is pointed cud. "I am sure the members of the council will agree," -he says, "that the graves of our forefathers should not be neglected and that cem- eteries should be so maintained 25 to prevent their being, as many of them are at present, an eyesore to the pub- lic." It does not take much observation on the part of those who travel throughout the country, to see thet this notification is timely. The con- ditions of many of these rural burying places is deplorable. These hallowed plots, that contain the sacred dust of our forefathers, are in many cases shamefully neglected. They are over- grown with grass and weeds, and the grounds are littered with broken head. stones. It is a disgrace that has Ions, demanded attention, and 4f Dr. McCul- lough succeeds in arousing the attent- ion of the people to these conditions he will win widespread •approval.
