ONE PIECE OF GOOD NEWS
FOR FARMERS
The most important news. for the
farmers of Canada in the budget was
the anneuneenient of the agr'ieulh"-
al stabilization fund. By it the
Government guarantees that Cana-
dian exporters to the markets of the
United Kingdom will be protected a-
gainst the fluctuations in sterhn
lr•
exchange. This fund will make u.e
the difference to the exporter be-
tween the exchango value of the
pound sterling, which on, the day the
budeet was brought down was $4.111/2.
in Canadian funds, and a fixed price
of. $4.60, •
Shippers will now know what they
will receive when they ship their
products to the United Kingdom. In
the past not only did the depreciated
sterling exchange • often wipe out
their profits when their returns were
converted into Canadian money, but
srsnetimes nraile them -losers on ship-
ments. Now they will know they
will be able to convert their sterling
"beck into Canadian funds at- $4.61"
regardless of what changes sterling
may make front the -time the produce
leaves Canada until the check coiner
back.
It is contended that with a cm,
tainty as to exchange the exporters.
should be able •to operate on a ner,
rower margin and accordingly thr
Farriers Should ,get most of the bene-
fit from the stabilization.

GORDON , WALDRON, K.C., '1'O
APPEAR BEFORE SPECIAL
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Gordon Waldron, K.C., well-known
Toronto lawyer, will be commanded
to appear before a special commit-
tee of the Legislature to substan-
tiate or apologize for his recent
grave charges against the Hon. E. J.
Murphy (Cons., Toronto -St. Patrick).
This action. unprecedented in the
history of the province, was the ac-
tion taken by the House Tuesday ev-
ening
vening when. a motion ,presented by
Premier Henry was adopted
Going past the usual 6 o'clock ad-
journment hour, Mr. Murphy pre-
sented his own brief motion to call
Mr. Waldron before a select commit-
tee to answer for his "pernicionr
libel and insult." Mr. Waldron had'
said that the member had been paid
to - promote an optometry bill in the
Legislature.
Mr. Henry, asking Mr. Murphy to
withdraw his motion, presented a
substitute of itis own, more elaborate
and self-explanatory, which 'had beer
prepared by the law officers of the
crown.
The select 'committee will be cons-
posed as fellows: Hon. Charles Mc-
Crea (chairman), Messrs. J. F. Rich -
(Cons., Hastings East), C. E. Rich-
ardson (Cons., South Perth), A. B
Snaith, (Cons., South Essex), D. J.
Taylor (Prog., North Grey), S. C
Tweed (Lib., North Waterloo), and
Frank Wilson (Cons., East Windsor)
It was at first thought that Mee
Waldron would be called "before the
bar" of tine house, but it was decided
to sunn-sot him before a committee
The last time the "bar" was user'
was away back in 1903, when Hec-
tor Charlesworth, new head of the
Canadian Radio Commission, was
a member of tine press gallery am'
wrote a note to a member of the
legislature using an allegedly of
fending terns. Mr. Charlesworth
apologized and the incident ended.
WEEDS
(Experimental Farms Note)
Insect pests together with weeds
are recognized enemies of the farmer
and the latter probably cause as much
or even more loss than the former.
One reason - for this is that insect
damage is usually more noticeable
and more complete, and it usually
becomes absolutely necessary for the
faret to fightsuch an enemy
tic
crop will be harvested. Then teo, in-
sect pests Usually are confined to a
single crop artii these lend themselves
more readily to treatment. Weeds,
on the other hand, arein prac-
tically
found
p
tically all crops and the less of erne
not being so complete as in the ease
of insect pests, less time is expend-
ed combatingthis
in ombatin menace.
Weeds ore usually hardy, difficult
to kill, anti are gross feeders. As
with other plants, their food can only
be taken em when in solution. Their
gross feeding habits, therefore, ac.
went for alt enormous loss of soil
moisture, that otherwise might ge
toward the production of profitable
crops.
Contrary to general belief the er-
adication of most weeds does not add
very greatly regular to the reg ular fartr
work, in fact, in the long run it may
be said that the reverse is true, for
freedom from weed's greatly facili-
tates not only seed bed preparation
but many other farm operations ass
well,
It has, been said that "good culti•
vation will destroy weeds." This
statement is correct in part only,
More correctly it might be said that
"good cultivation at the proper time
will destroy weeds." -
A striking -demonstration of this
was mace at the rennieinn 1i'eperi
mental Station, Charlottetown, sev-
eral years ago, when two pieces of
land, heavily infested with couch
rrrass, were siloughed at the sonic
time. One -plot was thoroughly ton•
worked during a hot dry spell, the
roots of couch being well brought up
to the surface. The couch was prac-
tically all killed by the tr•eatinent
and in the string' very little lahou
was •remxdred to prepare an excellem
seed -bed.
On the other plot'top-working was
delayed for a period of, about ter
.lays. In the 'meantime severs'
heavy rains had occurred; Top -work-
THURIS., MARCH 23, 1933
ing at that time was found to be
quite ineffective andit was found al-
most impossible to kill any of this
weed. In ' the following spring it
wasfound rad t hat practically all the
couch had survived and it was diffi-
cult to prepare a satisfactory seed-
bed,
Top -working to be efficient must
be done at the proper time, and so
employed is a satisfatcory control
for many weeds.•

ITALIAN DICTATOR HAS "PEACE
PLAN" WHICH IS BEING
CONSIDERED
Premier Ramsay Macdonald of
Great Britain, and his Foreign Sec-
retary, •Sir John Sinton, are studying
the terms of a peace proposal sub-
mitted by Premier Mussolini of It-
aly. The "Mussolini plan" is based
on the collalloration of Britain,
France, Germany and Italy, and is
said to be founded on the spirit of
the Kellogg Treaty and an interna-
tional agreement to outlaw war,
COUNTY NEWS
EXETER: One of the upright gir-
ders of the large steel bridge over
the Aux Sables here was rammed and
seriously damaged when a large
trailer on one of the transport trucks
passing through from the north,
dived into it. The impact was so
heavy that the girder was so badly
bent that it will be required to be
taken out for repairs. It is time
that a new and wider bridge be er-
ected at this spot, as there le barely
room for two cars to pass on the
present structure.
EXETER; Mr. and Mrs. John
Johns ctt Monday celebrated their
Diamond wedding anniversary. On
March 20, 1873, Rev. W. C. Beer, in
Exeter. united Miss Sarah Cudmore
and John Johns in marriage, Mrs.
Johns was born in the parish of
:Herten in. North Devon and came
with her parents to Canada in 1867,
while her husband, also born in De-
vonshire, came to this country as an

Riehad live here and the other son,
Charles, is in Usborne. There are
five grandchildren. Mr. Johns lived
with his parents in Usborne before

17 -cent cats were said to be milled at
Bell's mill, near Kipper. Their near-
est neighbors were a mile and a
quarter away Mr. Johns, Sr., in
addition to having oxen had the only
horse for utiles and frequently made
the trip to London. The roads were
bad and corduroy made the mud
barely passable. The coming of the
London, Huron & Bruce railway line
the incorporation of Exeter and the
clearing of bush from the major
part of all the farms are among the
changes in the eventful years.

law Taylor Tuesday afternoon. "Some
of the Women of the Bible" were
portrayed by the speaker, with their
most 'outstanding characteristics.

ert in her opportunities was typical
of the girl of today. Deborah didn't
do much herself but she inspired
others with cheerfulness. Mrs. Tay-
lor urged her audience to use the op-
portunities God has given them to
create cheerfulness around them and
give the best to those they love in
their homes. Ruth was a fine ex-
ample ,of devotion. "We need it in
our hearts today," said Mrs. Tay-
lor. Hannah stands out for faithful-
ness and perserverence in prayer. She
never lost her enthusiasm, even pee-
ing up her little son to be trained by
the o'd priest, Eli. Esther, the brave,
whom nothing turned back, even
willing to give her life. Mary and
Martha are both needed. but' it is
well to rut first things first, not too
busy "that we carmen sit at the feet
of Jesus," Dorcas' name has gene
down to the world, and many societies
are Homed for her. God has use for
all talents, however different. Lydia
