Deaf Sir: I see hi the Beacon -
Herald that the farmers of Ontario
'eau get grain' from the West at the
sante price that the farmers get' for
it in the West.
This -is what is in the,Beacon-Her-
ald of July 14th :
"Don't market brod sows now, as
many farmers are reported doing. It
will be more profitable -and certain-
,' ly more patriotic -to take full, od.
vantage of the favorable situation
now at hand whereby Western gain
of excellent feeding quality can be
obtained by Ontario farmers at' virt-
ually the price paid for it to the
growers on the Prairies. The cost of
transportation and handling is now
o be entirely absorbed by Federal
and ,provincial subsidies, Starting

topay asliding scale of subsidies on
carload orders, in addition to the
freight subsidy taken Bare of by th
Ijonitu1oli Department of Agr'icnl•
turn."
The prices that the farmers. are
getting' in the West at the present
time, and the grain. is at the ceiling
pride, are: No. 1. Northern wheat,
$23,33 per ton; No. 2 C.W. oats, $25,30
per ton; No, 1 C.W. barley, $21.77
per ton, But the western grain. is
costing. the farmers in Ontario from
$35 to $40 per ton, and not the best
grain either,
I claim that the free freight to the
farmers of Ontario that we hear so
mucic about, never helped the farm-
ers in Ontario, The price 'of grain to
the farmers in the West is for No; 1
wheat, $23,33 per ton; No, 2 C.W.
oats, $25.30 per ton; No. 1 C.W. bar-
ley, :321.77 per ton, while what the
farmers in Ontario at the ,present
time are paying is around $35 to $40
per ton.
Where is the Government's free -
freight money going ti? If the farm-
ers in Ontario paid what the farmers
in the West get, and all the freight
by rail, 'to any station in Ontario,
they would only be paying $32.33 per
ton for wheat, $34,30 per ton for oats
and $30.77 per ton for barley,
If the farmer's of Ontario could get
the Western grain at the same price
as the farmers are getting for it in
the West, these farmers in Ontario
will keep their sows and not send
them to market, and will feed hogs
to help win the war. But we can not
buy Western grain at $35 and $40
per ton, Your truly,
Mat. Armstrong.

How To Control
Garden Slugs
Like other pests, garden slugs are
more easily controlled when they are
small and'few in number. Often they
are numerous on heavy land where
they do considerable damage to
beans, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower,
and such like crops. For control, the
infested plants should be dusted with
hydrated lime in the evening after
the sun has gone down when the
slugs have commenced feeding, says
the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture. Care should be taken to cov-
er the upper and lower surfaces of
the leaves and the soil immediately
surrounding the plants. Hydrated
lime is effective only when it is in
the form of a light dry powder. Sub-
jected to moisture, it becomes hard,
and in that condition does not hurt
the slugs. For this reason, a few
light applications of the lime at int-
ervals of three or four days are
much more effective than one heavy
dose,
Another method of control is to
spray the infested plants thoroughly
with bordeaux mixture. This mixture
is repellant to slugs, and if the foli-
age of the plants is completely coy-
eyed, many of the slugs will eenfine
their intentions to weeds growing in
the field. Another method that has
given satisfactory control in gardens
is a mixture of metaldehyde and
bran but it is stoo expensive under
field conditions. This material may,
be purchased ready mixed at most
seed stores, under a definite trade
name.
Srtant and For Sale alis, 3 weeks 50c,
This is A. R, Kemp, who took over
the duties of Harry J. Boyle when
the later moved to the national pro-
gram office in May. Mr. Kemp is
farm commentator for Ontario and
Quebec and he's right at home in this
role. He was born on a Saskatche-
wan farm but moved east to Forest,
Ontario, where his father fanned.
Follows Father as C.P.R. Vice -President
Mirk A. Leslie (left), newly
appointed vice-president and
comptroller of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company, is carrying on
a family tradition in that high
position for his father, John Leslie
(right), was vice-president and
comptroller of the company from
1926 until 1928 at which time he
became vice-president of finance
and treasurer, a position he retain-
ed until 1932 when he retired after
more than half a century of rail-
way work. The new vice-president
and comptroller is 48 years old and
has been associated with the com-
pany for 30 years. His record was
broken by attendance at McGill
University on a Canadian Pacific
scholarship and three years over-
seas service in the Great War as
a lieutenant with the Canadian
Artillery. He won two medals as a
student- the Governor General's
Silver Medal at Montreal High
School and the British Association
Medal in transportation at McGill
University where he graduated from
the Faculty of Applied Science.
