Hazards WITH SPRING HERE, one's fancy turns lightly, according to age, sex, and tempera- ment, to thoughts of marbles, baseballs gThe gardening love or spring cleaning, Feinted Word. These are all good things in their way, gardening being perhaps the least hazardous. Gardening ,keeps one around the house and off the crowded highways, At the wrest, it can lead to discomfort in the back and joints; but essentially it's a leisurely oc- cupation, not tempting the middle-aged to over- exertion. On the other hand, one should not avoid the other pleasures of spring (except, possibly, spring cleaning) simply becJause of the haz- ards. For spring is the season of recklessness, and too much caution will spoil its enjoyment. The chances are that common sense will Federal Budget in Brief Of Spring enable most persons to avoid the hazards of spring es they avoid those of the other seasons. One thought to keep in mind is that, statistic- ally, it is the usual that produces most acci- dents and the unusual that produces the big- gest headlines. An . asphyxiation from gas is about as frequent as being struck by lightning, and either event will merit a story to itself. Asphyxiation from drowning Is so common in the warm months that the cases are reported with motor fatalities each Monday morning under the general head of week -end accidents. Considering the after-effects, 'the greatest hazard of .spring is to be encountered along the traditional course of the young man's fancy. But there it is useless to counsel cau- tion or common sense, Crop Improvement Grants Increased HURON COUNTY CROP Improvement Association and other Associations throughout Ontario have been doing some very worthwhile work and the grants now 'available to these organizations will enable them to do an even better ,job. The grants available to these or- ganizations had been increased substantially. Estimates recently passed in the Ontario Leg- islature provide for grants of $300 to each local ,association far project work, with an additional $100 grant if a Seed Fair is held. The total amount of the grant formerly was $200. In making the announcement, Hon. T. L.

Corporation tax on profits under $10,000, unchanged at Kennedy pointed out that the 'increase ns these grants was in keeping with the Report of the Shceot Committee on Conservation. in which it was -recommended that "GoveenSnent grants to County Crop Improvement Associations should be increased so that they may undertake an extended program of local demonstrations . •" The Committee gave as its reason for this recommendation the fest that evidence brought before it proved that the Ontario Crap Im- provement Association, through its provincial organization 'and County associations, was pro- viding strong 'and effective leadership in both soil and crop improvement.

First national farm organization to do so, Dairy Farmers of Canada last year embarked on a program of national advertising and sales promotion designed to increase the popularity of dairy foods among Canadian consumers. Financed by dairy farmers on the basis of an advertising set-aside of a cent -a -pound butter- fat on June production, the question "why ad- vertise? arises now that the next June ad- fat this Whileo hngseune. nside was being made by- vertising set-aside approaches.

It is a common practice today to think of subsidies only in terms of ap- plying to farm •produce. Many city people seem to think that they are paying heavy taxes to subsidize the farmer for produc- ing the food that they must, buy. The letter points out that tariff protection for Canadian industry has cost the people of Canada something close _oto three billion dollars in the past 20 years. Can- ada's gold industry employs only 23,000 people, yet in 1949 that industry was subsidized to the extent of over $3,000,000. During that same period, 38 of the larg- est gold mines made a net profit of $16,000,000. This subsidy was in force for a three-year period and is likely to be renewed. The subsidy en coal movement in 1949 amounted 'to nearly $4,- 000,000 and an steel and iron shipments over four and a half million dollars. When the sub- sidy on feed grains is discussed, you would think 'to hear the critics talk it was the only sub- sidy of its kind being paid. Iii Great Britain, heavy sub- sidies are paid to agriculture. A grant is made to cover 40 per cent of the cost of installing a water system in farm • buildings and a farm home. Fifty per cent of the cost of providing a dwell- ing for farm owners is made by the British Government. If' such a system were in effect in Canada, we would find more farms occu- pied and better living accom- modation on the farms that are already occupied, 0 Beattie Furniture - OFFERS - GREAT SAVINGS 1n TRILITE •FLOOR LAMPS silk shades complete with bulbs as low as $13.95 BEATTIE'S FURNITURE FUNERAL.
