io: Government is moving to relieve
. distress among farmers of this pro-
vince, The, Agriculture Committee
has already begun its '•deliberations
and will likely function as an evi-
denee taking inquiry body. Premier -
Henry has intimated that farmers of
districts - particularly -hard hit by
the •'depression period might be ask-
ed to appear before the committee

Values in Home -Grown Vegetables
While Ontario vegetables growers

ations of these vegetables from the

d as meeting with a good demand
n spite of their comparative high
rice. Mr.. George Rush, Fieldman
or the Ontario Vegetable Growers'
Association, stated in a recent meet-
ing that a ,survey of retail stores
showed that many storekeepers gave
preference in display to the import-
ed vegetables, and offered as an ex-
planation for this that there was
greater profit in handling imported
carrots and cabbage. The Markets
Branch of the Ontario Department
of•:Agirculture has pointed nut that
the added revenue from the handling
of these imported goods comes from
the consumer's readiness to pay a
considerable. premium for imagined
values. Recent investigations show
that the Ontario carrots and cab-
bage ,that have been. stored under
proper conditions have, nound for

Successful Dairying
"Factors essential to suceess in
dairying" was the subject discussed
by 31. C. -14I,ePhaii of this Department
before a.reeent convention of cheese-
makers. His analysis of the situa-
tion resolved itself into four divis-
ions, as follows: (1) Diversification
of faun enterprises: too many dairy
farmers are so intensely interested
in their cows that they forget to look
around for money making sidelines
that can be operated without any
great additional outlay. (2) High
yielding crops are important. All
feeds must be grown en somebodv's
farm and on most farms they can be
produced more cheaply than they
can be purchased. (3) Efficiency of
live stock. The efficiency of the in-
dividual animals to utilize feed is a
big factor in determining profit. (4)
Operating costs. Keeping expenses
at the lowest point consistent with
efficiency.
Corn and Seed Show
After having been in abeyance for
years, .,the annual seed show of the
Southwestern Ontario Corn Growers'
Association was revived last week
with a splendid exhibition in the
pity' of Chatham.The' quality of the
corn exhibits -was exceptionally fine,
even if not 'quite on a par with that
of displays before the corn borer did
its work. Other classes, including
cereal grains, small seeds, tobacco
'and potatoes, had many entries and
competition was keen, The 1930 corn
crop in Southwestern Ontario' was
the largest and best 'since the borer's
invasion and affords concrete evi-
dence that the havoc wrought by
the borer has been materially re-
duced in the last two or three years.
Recommendations Made For Fruit
and Vegetable Industry -
Agriculture Prominent
Plans for improving agriculture
throughout the Province occupied a
prominent place in the speech from
the Throne at the Ontario Legisla-
ture opening last week. Legisuation
was forecast to implement many of
the recommendations, including, cre-
ation of a Provincial Marketing
Board, which appear in the Somer-
set inquiry report, Notice of plans
for the improvement of herds in re-
ward to milk production was given.
There was the suggestion of early
introduction of remedies to peoteet
livestock against the ravages of
parasites, and finally the intimation
that Icon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of
Agriculture, wilt sponsor this coming
summer an exhaustive inspection of
Ontario's agricultural pursuits by all
the institutional heads within his
iurisdietion. Special attention will
bo paid to farming possibilities in
Northern Ontario and a scheme de-
vised to utilize the many homesteads
which have stood idle for several
year:e in good farm country of the

Establishment of a fruit and veg-
etable growers' market council for
the province and drastic changes hi
general marketing conditions are
recommended in the report of Com-
missioner W. B. Somerset to Hon.
'T. L. Kennedy, Manistee; of Agricul-
ture, foIlowing extensive inquiry in-
to marketing problems of the fruit
and vegetable industries. It is sug-
gested that this market council
should have a permanent paid sec-
retary with a local secretary for
each district and an executive com-
mittee, with power to appoint com-
mittees to study and deal with pro-
blems. Registration' of all connnere
oral fruit and vegetable growers 'is
suggested so that they ntust place
their registered number on all pack-,
ages they market. Licensing and
bonding of all shippers, truckers and
commission men is recommended, as
we'll as the establishment of sales
promotion offices in Western Clari-
nda and in Quebec and the Mari-
times during the selling season,
Other recommendations are as fol-
lows: That surveys be made each
season of crop conditions and the
sales possibilities of the markets;
that Government assistance be given
in establishing central packing plants
'and cold storage or pre -cooling fae-
ilities;, that by-product research be
made into the commercial possibili-
ties of the disposal of low grade
fruits and vegetables; that steps be
taken to prevent the marketing of
immature fruit and vegetables; tha
the collective purchase of 'fertilizer
and other supplies be fully canvas
sell; and that as a means of improv
ing the quality of grade and pad
for alI markets. the question of es
tablishing an Ontario brand be con
sidered.

GODERICH: Since the death of
Mr. M'gelKay, who built MacKay Hall
for the use of the public for the
holding • of public meetings, there
seems to be some doubt as to who
has the authority to appoint a board
of management. A legal document
drawn up 'at the time the hull was
built seems to have disappeared and
nobody seems to know who's who or
what's what.

With keen appreciation that it is the mothers,
housewives, sisters, and sweethearts in Clinton
who do fully. 90 per, cent of the shopping, this mes-
sage is 'courteously submitted as a thought on how
each and every one can materially assist in the fur-
ther development and growth of Clinton. Com-
munity growth hinges absolutely upon • business
development. There is only one "U" in Community
—and it is in proportion to YOUR loyalty and pat-
ronage to home affairs, home industries,. home
stores that our town will grow. If you do all of
your shopping in Clinton there will be more jobs,
better pay and increased values all along the line.
Your Home, your hopes of success for self, bro-
ther, sweetheart or husband pivot about this point
of home -town loyalty. A river never rises higher
than its source and so it is in conllnunity affairs
There can be no higher real estate values, wages or
biggeer opportunities than is brought about
through the volume of business which is the life of
every community Your Dollars spent at home
make this volume and if we divide these dollars we
weaken our own investments and hopes of increased
values of our holdings just as much. No doubt
you will soon be snaking plans for an extensive
spring buying campaign. Why not look first in Clin-
ton stores, see the goods merchants will have on dis-
play, note the real values offered—whether it be
apparel or food; necessities or luxuries. You will
find prices just as low and quality just as high—
more often higher—and hometown merchants a
great deal more obliging.
