MEICHEN A FAST WORKER
Honour to whom honour is due.
To give the Rt. Hon, Arthur Meighen
credit he is a fast worker, He keeps
his opponents hard at work. No soon-
er do they contradict one of his mis-
statements than they have to over-
take and nail down another equally
removed from the realm of fact, Of
course the evident falsity of such a
cry as that the two thousand factories
in Canada had been closed since the
Liberal government came into power
scarcely called for refutation. It is
an instance, however, of Conserva-
tive tactics, unscrupulous and crafty,
always a day ahead with some insinu-
ation, some distortion of figures which
n t h t di t
Mr. Meighen is also a regular walk
ing note of interrogation. "What a-
bout Senate reform?" he cries in his
best platform style. "Where does the
Premier stand on this vital question?"
Mr. King meantime has stated
plainly and unegivocally what he and
the government are committed to.
But where does Arthur Meighen
stand? All we know is that on one
occasion, he voted for the abolition of.
the Senate. What is bis attitude, his
real policy to -hay?
There is nothing new in his wails
of despair regardiny the future of
the eountry. His cry of, "wolf" has
sounded from one end of Canada to
the other. Ont begins to think that
he even believes his own forebodings
so frequently has he voiced them.
Yet the electors of the country are
asked to put into office a leader who '
has no hope for the future; whose
only plank, only lifebelt in a raging
sea of impending and implacable
ruin is to tax the people more heavily,
If anyone but a hidebound, irrecon-
cilable party devotee or fanatic can
see the country's salvation in the
Meighen nostrum, too many people
are enjoying the franchise.
OUTLOOK IN QUEBEC
r
While the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meig-
hen is claiming so many Conservatiye
seats in Quebec it would be well for
Ontario electors to consider and re-
view the nature of the policy which
heralds the re-entry into politics on
the Conservative side of the Hon. E.
L. Patenaude, who has accepted the
party nomination for the Jacques
Cartier division of Montreal
If that policy differs in essentials
from that of Bourassa for the past
twenty years, it would be difficult to
draw any fine distinction between
the two, Let us see what constitutes.
the aid that a patriotic party is sum-
moning for the coming contest, for
the Conservative party are patriotic.
They say they are and that should be
sufficient, although their professed
loyalty to the flag sometimes prompts
them to become a little perfervid and i
hysterical. However exuberance is I
not a crime.
Mr. Meighen's latest ally declares
that the Liberal leader has governed
the country for a party political
group, but the fact is that members
in all parts of the House have support
ed the Premier on every occasion,
when the welfares of Canada was the
issue. This is a matter of record, and
no greater tribute could be paid the 1
leadership of any party.
M. Patenaude. while professing al-
legiance to the flag says: "We must
orient ourselves toward the most com-
plete
omplete autonomy." And further; "if
any measure—call it British prefer-
ence or anything else—becomes pred-
judicial to Canadian interests, I do
not fear to say that we have the right
and the duty to oppose it and to ad-
opt in that regard the solution which
contributes best to the development
of Canada."
This is, perhaps fair enough, but
it seems to disregard the fact that
Great Britain is our best customer,
our warmest friend, and would ap-
pear to be going out of the way to
look fdr trouble in a quarter dear to
many Canadian hearts. Mr. Meig-
hen's ally—he declares he is not a fol-
lower—advocates the instant aboli-
tion of the British preference and his
Program generally looks like a vote
matching one; specially manufactured
for a particular emergency.
But the spirit of Liberalism in the
old historic province of Quebed is,
we believe, strong enough to resist
the attradtions of a political menu
prepared by even one of their best
gastronomic experts, even accompan-
ied by M. Patenaude's declaration, of
personal independence.
TAXES ON FOOD
Those who are interested in the
cost of living, and who is not, can-
not but be interested in the assertion
made be the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meig-
hen tha' he} w5!1 taut the duty on farm
',retied nn t., thatof the United
States i Ira t three months -that
he fs r es, ' -o power, if success-
ful at t' nl
Ther eel,. of the Dominion to -day
are not dly interested in such pro-
blems immigration, taxation, the
railway :tuation and many others,
but the eat question withmost of
them is v to make ends meet; how
to balan,. rhe weekly budget. Any-
thing that increases the expenses of
theaverage household is a matter of
straw: concern to its head and to add
to the cost of living seems to be a
poor appeal to the average elector.
If, as Mr. Meifhen suggests, the
country is going to the dogs and is
faring blue ruin, it would seem to be
an inopportune time to make the situ-
ation worse by adding to the taxpay-
ers' burdens. He talks about Can-
adians being compelled to go the Un-
ited States. What would drive them
faster than a reduction in the pur-
chasing price of the dollar? But, as
a popular Liberal organizes- said on
one occasion: "Conservative states-
men believe that every cent they fail
to extract from the pocket of the tax-
payer is just so much lost." Mr.
Meighen cannot divorce his mind or
his political viewpoint from the old
vicious principle of class legislation,
giving one person or group the privi-
lege of exploiting another, the latter
in turn being privileged to put the
screws on another section of the peo-
ple.
Canadians to -day need every dol-
lar they can either earn or save. We
are on the eve of better times if the
party of progress and advancement
is allowed to continue in office. If
not we shall certainly return to the
days, when, under the Meighen re-
gime people fled from the country to
which they are now returning,
Of course our industries must be
protected, what Liberal does not say
so, but tariff's need not reach to
Mount Everist or even to Haman's
gallows. The people, however, must
not be exploited. They must be help-
ed and protected; taxes lightened,
costs of living reduced and comfort
brought to every Canadian home.

There is much difference in opinion
as to the best variety to grow, and the
seleetiou generally hinges on two
points, viz.,—the rano of theland
and the cost of labor.
If you have to pay high for labor
and your land is high prioed, thee.
grow the heaviest yielding variety
Diet you can find, taking a Chance
on its reaching maturity, Production
per acre you must have.
It you are on low-priced land, then
select a good yielding variety that
you know will mature early and also
make high -Class ensilage.
Big heavy corn, full of juice is bard
to handle,—it costs money to make
silage out of it, --while the lighter
yielding, early maturing corn is eas-
ier to handle, costs less for labor and
makes a. richer silage. True, it will
not produce as much milk per acre
as the large heavy yielding variety,
but what it does produce is produced
with the aid of less supplementary
grain, So it you have abundant land,
the early maturing, high quality var-
ieties will be most suited toyour
need. On the other hand if you have
few acres and must get the most out
of the area irrespective of labor coat,
then you had best select the heavy
yielder variety,
Test the Seed Corn.
'rest for germination every ear of
Baru that is used for seed. It does
not take very much time to do it.
Testing seed is the only insurance
you have for a perfect stand. Why
take a chance and loose by spending
your labor on a field with only half
as many plants as there should be.
Better test the seed, and get started
right, Two weeks before you figure
on planting corn prepare e, seed box
with moist sawdust or sand, plant a
representative sample, give it care
and watch for the sprouts. Be guid-
ed by the performance of the sample
tested. Good seed corn is not abun-
dant this year, se be careful in your
purchase. Soft or moldy seed corn
never produced a strong plant. Don't
forget that, first of all, your crop
depends upon the vigor of the seed
that you plant.
Preparing for Corti.
Clover Sod ploughed In September
and surface worked until late Octo-
ber, and then ridged up and left ex-
posed to the treat action, until dry
enough to harrow down in the spring
is a successful method for corn. The
application of not less than 20 tons
of good stable manure should be
made in early May, and the land re -
ploughed and worked down to the
fine tilth of a good seed -bed.
Planting.
When the White Oak leaf is as
large as a black squirrel's foot (last
week in May) plant the seed in check
tows 40 inches apart, using macbine
planter or drill, cover two Inches deep
and firm.
Cultivation.
Start cultivation by going over the
area with a weeder just before the
corn comes up. 'Follow each week
with machine cultivation to keep a
dust mulch and prevent weed gitowth,
until such time as the corn has
grown too large to permit of further
tillage. Corn tillage should always
be shallow, much damageis done by
cutting the roots of the plant;
Tasting Chickens for Bacillary White
Diarrhoea.
This disease has played havoc In
many poultry yards during the past
few years, and, ince tuberculoafs, 11 has
been spread around largely through.
the exchange of breeding stock.
Chicks and eggs for hatching, from
Infected breeding stock, have carried
the bacillus pullorum from one end
of the country to the other; so the
disease is now wide spread and causes
large financial loss to many poultry
owners.
The bacteria responsible for the
trouble (bacillins pulorum) centralize
In the ovary of the mature hen, caus-
ing lesions in that organ; and its in-
ability to properly function and pro-
duce normal eggs. The bacteria pass
with the ova and are contained with-
in the shell of the egg, . When the
egg hatches the chick is already
infected,
Chicks leas than a week oldhave
the following post moment lesions: --
(1) Enlarged liver with red spots
or streaks.
(2) Congested lungs.
Chicks over one weak old allow:—
(1) Enlarged lever with greyish
spots.,
(2) Friable nodules In the lun"hs,.
occasionally in the heart, and lungs.
Diarrhoea does not always have
time to develop, so If the chicks die
look for the lesions.
The only really successful way to
combat white diarrhoea is to elim-
inate the breeding stock Infected with
bacillus pullorum" These trouble pro-
ducerd may be fountsout by applying
the agglutination test to every bird
on the premises. Eliminate all re-
actors to this blood test and be care-
fol in your purchases of eggs, chicks,
or breeding stock" The disease will

A CONTRAST
The principles which the Conserva-
tive party advocated at the last gen-
eral election are intact, states Right
Hon: Arthur Meighen. No more satin
factory declaration could be made
from the Liberal standpoint—in ,a
word, the banner of high protection
is still flying, although shot to pieces
in 1921 and overwhelmingly defeat-
ed in the House a few months ago.
According to Mr. Meighen, his par-
tY comes before the eonutry with no
broken pledges, but since they had
pledged themselves to nothing that
the people had not repudiated this is
1 mere empty talk, simply rhetorical
verbosity. Be makes, however, one
proposal to tempt the Maritimes and
the West which should be carefully
analysed by the electors. He promis-
es assistance from the treasury so
that the products from these parts of
Canada shall be able to get into world
markets on such terms as shall snake
their export profitable. These reduc•
kions in freight rates are to come out
of the pockets of the taxpayers gen-
i erally so that the central provinces
would be subsidizing their competi-
tors in other parts of the country.
The suggestion is worthy of its or-
erinator, but if it should deceive those
for whom the lure is thrown out,
they must first jettison much of their
shrewdness and common sense. To
begin with, the scheme bears no evi-
dences of practibility, while if there
was ever a more flagrant and bare-
faced appeal to sectionalism and the
purely provincial spirit, it has yet to
be disclosed,
What! . No broken pledges, no
change of policy, just higher tariffs—
truly the Conservative confession of
faith. On the other hand, the Libef-
al Leader although burdened with a
terrible legacy due to the incompet-
ence and impotence of his predeces-
sors in office, can and will deal with
immigration on a broad and well con-
ceived plan; will still further reduce
taxation, alreadjt lessened by 25 per
cent; reduce the high cost of living
and see that administrative costs are
still further brought down to the ir-
reducible minimum. He has broken
no pledges and will keep those he has
made.
UNWORTHY TACTICS
It cannot be denied that Canada,
in common: with many other countries
has experienced seine of the unsettled
conditions which give the party out
of office much needed' capital and op-
portunity td blame every ids upon the
Government in power. Thus the Op-
position has been in the habit of
crediting the Liberal party with ev-
ery existing drawback, and to make
the ease stronger,, they have not hesi-
tated to employ arguments and tac-
tics unworthy of any patriotic Can-
adian,
According to them Canada is on'
the brink of ruin and nothing but a
change of Government will save us
from an intolerable and dreadful
situation. In effect they use the
words of the great Pitt; `This is a
perilous and tremendous moment;
the adultations of flattery cannot save
us in titjs rugged and awful crisis."
But Pitt was a patriot, a great En-
glishman, whereas the detractors of
Canada to -day stand out most promin-
ently as simply disgruntled politicians
of no great calibre or weight.
They, have described the Dominion
as a' country whose population is flee-
ing to the United States; whose trade
—regardles of facts—is declining and
whose people are obsessed by a feel-
ing of despair. But the fact is that
the country is not only prospering,
it ison the eve of another industrial
revival which is calculated to have a
most potent effect on such questions
as immigration, land settlement and
development, transportation, and in-
dustrial and agricultural expansion.
With trade revival there will come
an increase in population, the new-
Comers making easier manic ofour
present-day problems. It has already
been pointed out that in April, May
and June of this year over 82,000
settlers have entered Canada, while
in the same period almost 10,000 Oan-
adlans 'who had been in the United
States for six months or longer,. had
returned to their early homes.
In the midst of an antiphonal cher-
118 of pesa;
rnl
am b members
of the
e
Conservative party,
these figures
speak with forceful eloquence. Our
country is going ahead. This'year's
crop will relieve many a farmer of
his immediate difficulties. Manufac-
turers are not complaining• and the
employment situation is improving.
Let the Liberal party go on with its
work unheeding the counsels of de-
spair from the other side.
