TOMLINSON Editor and Business Manager Plant Manager THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1946 COOPERATIVE ACTION REQUIRED Irt 'appears that early importations of cattle into Canada, more than 100 years ago, were responsible for introducing the warble flies into this country. The fact that cattle from practically every district in Canada now carry warbles is .evidence of the extensive spread of the `flies since that time. The only hope of cutting down the extensive damage done by the flies and grubs is to interrupt the life cycle of the fly. Theoretically, if it were possible to destroy every warble infesting the cattle in any year, there would' be no flies khe next year to carry on the cycle. Conservative estimates place the damage from warbles at several minion dollars ,annually in Canada. It is impracticable to .destroy all the warbles in any one year. However, as the flies travel only short distances, any farmer can materially improve his pasture conditions for the next summer by thoroughly treating his own cattle to the spring. Community effort gives correspondingly greater befefits. Danish farmers proved the efficiency of group action in that by such action they were enabled to banish completely the warble flies. With a county -wide campaign now under way to control the warble fly, Huron farmers have a golden opportunity to prove the success of cooperative action. Reports from Goderich Township, where blanket polo er spraying operations commenced Tuesday morning, indicate that the response is 100 per cent. This should go a long way toward controlling the pest in that township. CANADA MUST PULL IN HER BELT Urgency of .the world wheat situation has made it necessary for most countries with substantial surpluses for export, to lapply various programs and controls, designed to increase the total supplies of wheat moving into export channels, Canada's commitments are now on such a level that domestic consumption, at least for livestock feed, must be curtailed. In addition, if all commitments are met, wheat stocks at the end of the current crop year will be reduced to the bare minimum needed to bake care of requirements until the new crop is harvested. , ' In amticipatlion of continued shortages 'beyond the end of the crop year, the United States and Australia have announced increases intheir production goals for the next crop year. To assist in an equitable distribution of the scarce supply of wheat, the United Kingdom has voluntarily reduced her import requirements so that more wheat may be directed to the areas nolw undergoing famine or near famine conditions. In addition, the United Kingdom's flour extraction rate is gradually being raised to 85 per cent. Canada's remaining supplies of wheat, as at January 31, 1946, will be the major limiting factor in the amount which she can afford to send to the needy countries of the world during :the last half of :the present crop year. ' Since August, 1945, every transport, elevator and mill facility has been worked to the limitt of capacity to clear wheat and wheat flour to overseas destinations at the monthly rate of approximately 35 million bushels. At the present time, the United Kingdom has a No. 1 priority on all Canadian wheat exports and only after British require- ments have been met will ether orders be given con- sideration. 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—No one who ever found the Pearl of Great Price felt that he had given too much for it. 0 It's been a reasonably long hockey season for Clin- ton Colts.

Ward IMMIGRATION (Reprinted from Torch, Official Publication, Canadian Corps Asocia- Lion. ) It appears that the time is about here when someone will raise a hue and cry about immigration. That's. a natural development since Canada is a sparsely settled country with huge undeveloped natural resources whereas the European countries are overcrowded, short on everything that Canada has, and the outlook for many a citizen of Europe is definitely not Whether or not Canada shduld em- bark on an ambitious immigration programme, at all is a question which our economists, statesmen and citi- zens generally must decide after full consideration of all the factors. One fact remains clear. Let us only permit those to enter our country who have the intention and the ability eventually to become true Canadian citizens. By this we mean those people who possess a willingness when they have remained a sufficiently long period of time, together with a will- ingness to serve their country "all out" in time of war and peace with a general desire to be a useful citizen and to fit into the customs and prac- tices of the country. Further, we should restrict immi- gration to those who can do the work which is necessary in our type of country. We do not want slum dwel- lers from the southern European ccuntries. Rather we want woodsmen and the farmers and the artisans from the countries which have, active and progressive economies. We do not want citizens with a lingering fondness for fascism or nazism. We want new citizens who are imbued with the desire to become members of a democratic society Where all men have equal opportuni- ties and a desire to make use of them. If we are going to admit new ;members to our family, let us only let en those who will soon work side by side with us to make Canada worthy of the future which lies in store for her, * * * A special Commons committee on veterans' affairs will be reconstituted, * • * Special efforts are being made to increase supplies of building material for housing. * * Parliament will deal with redistri- bution of House of Commons repre- sentation. * * * • The Canadian citizenship bill, legis- lating implementing orders in council and amendments to statutes will cone before the House, 4,* * Canada will give "utmost support" to the United Nations Organization. * * * New legislative proposals may come from the Dominion -Provincial con- ference.
