Elliott, Warden of Huron County, was the unanimous -choice of the convention of South Huron Con- servatives atlHensall on '\Wednesday, April it&h. It was an unusual conven- tion in that it brushed aside all pre- cedents by refusing to discuss any courtesy nominations. No name other than that of the candidate was pre- sented. The delegates had their minds tnade up and went straight to the goat. They obviously felt that 'Geo. Elliott could' win and did not intend to hate their attention distracted from the .main issue. 'Last election Air. Elliott 'lost to \V. G. Medd, Progressive candidate ,by only 32 votes and there is no doubt of the party's determination to wipe mit that small margin. Geo. Elliott himself, in a brief but witty speech acceping the nomination, pointed out that if he and others had worked it little harder last time there would have been a differept story to tell, 'i'his time, "Don't let George do„it," he pleaded, "I can't do it all. We can winand win easily- if you will help me, but you must 110 your part as I shall do mine. I'mtaking my coat off right now and promise you that I'll be in, there working, You must do the saute if we are to wring It will be a brief campaign, but a hard one. We made a mistake last time but 1 don't want that to occur again," he cmn- clnde-1 amid laughter. Col. H. B. Combe, president of the S.:tth Httron Conservative :\.socia- :ion, was chairman of the -meeting. Delegates were present from 'every cctir,n of the new riding except from Goderich. W. 0. Goodwin, secretary - of the Association, read the minutes 'f the previous meeting and E. R. Dennis, secretary elf the \Western On- tario Con.servatife Associatica, spoke briefly. Hon. \V. G. Martin, Minister of Public Welfare in the present Gov- .rnntent, Lias the principal speaker of the meeting. A 1111111 of exceptional latfotsnt presence and one of the fin- est speakers in Canada, he held the interest of his audience for more than. an hour as he gave an accounting .af the government's actions. daring the past five years. "We are going to the people on our record," he saki, "We accept hill re- sponsibility for what we have (lone. We stand or fall by that record and we are pr fad of it." "Our platform !_ man and non's needs. The •Conserra-: Live party stands for social freedom and social contentment." In his opening remarks he compli- mented the conventi in on iide choice • sa competent a. candidate as Geo. Flliatt. He reminded his hearers that it was going to be a shirt campaIssa tuft a strenuous one.. Quoting front Kipling he asserted that it was "Ever- lasting teantworic" that brought vic- tory. Paying a graceful compliment to the ladies he reminded the audience that it was not the 'Gene-alissimos, not Gen, Currie, not Gen. 'Foch, not Field Marshall Haig who had won the war, it was the women who had stood behind the hien who stood be-. tinct the guns. They equally were ca - )able of winning this fight. Referring to the ,Liberal references o the last session as a'lam'e-duck ses- sion he remarked that he diel not reow just what' they hai meant by hat' imported expression. He did know that everything" the Liberal= lad tried to do had .turned out to •)P 't dud. 'It had gone en like a'.Juiy ,I•st rocket and -Iliad come down like a stick !He referred to the signs of prosper- ity which were in evidence every- where in the country, .more particul- arly in the cities. "Tho hu'nt of industry is once more beginning to be .heard in the land," he claimed, "Because the spirit of the pioneers still persists in au r people we are cleetined to enter ditto a per- iod of prosperity such as we have never yet experienced-" He derided 'she attitude of the op- position in attempting to lay the blame for the present conditions on the administration, "The depression' ia" no respector of countries ot• par- ties, 'We are riding the storm better than any peoptie in the world," He quoted figures to show that the Ottawa Imperial Conference was bringing prosperity to the land. Ex- ports of a long list of articles had shams a decided upward trend in the'' past year and there was every likeli- hood of a shill further improvement. Canada was not a decrepit old man but a child in swaddling clothes. No people under the sun have so hopeful a future, \V. N'. Sindttir, former lead- er of the Liberals, had favored co- operating with the government as had IRamsay `11acDoaald vitt' the Grit- ish 'house, It was the sante spirit which wound bring Canada through, SIe twitted `Mitchell Hepburn as be- ing the 'remote control' leader of the Liberals and as the "short plants statesman," He had chosen Dr. Mc- Quibban as house leader but had re- tained Harry Nixon as his first lieu- tenant, The result twos that the two had always had difficulty in deciding who was the true leader and their fol- lowers in the house were affrays equally at sea, There was a spirit of disunion abroad among the opposi- tion and in contrast the spirit' of unity in the Conservative ranks was such as. was seldom known, He dealt in some detail with the ac- tivities of the various departments. He claimed that this was a critical time, not a titne in tahich to cut dawn necessary services. It was necessary to maintain the Conservative ideal of a chalice for everyone. ' "The greatest asset we have is not aur material resources, past as' they are, but the character and quality of our citizenship." He stated that one of the guiding principles of the government is the age-old principle that "I am any bro- ther's keeper." He made reference to the public services which are supplied free to the people, such as free insulin for diabetes sufferers, the maintaining of hundreds of beds in splendid hos- pitals for sufferers front tuberculosie toxin for control of diphtheria and the plans afoot for the provision of a supply of free radium in cancer clinics throughout the province. "No country in the world is doing what we are doing for the benefit of backward children. There has never been aaything'like it in the education- al history of any nation." -We were the first people in the world to apply the principles at pschyciatry to the treatment of de- linquent children "T defy Mitchell !Hepburn to say that he would spend one dollar less on any of these services." 'He reminded the audience that this stoney was being expended because the people bad demanded it. Last'year the costs of operating the, business n the prouace was „$123,000,000. Of this a37,0:11.090 had gone for relief and $64,000,000 for education. This was a tremendous sunt of money but mos businesses in the country would- be better +; conducted on as careful ane economical a basis as had the business of the province. Relief payments would be increased 2'5 per cent this year to take care 01 the increase in the cost of living. People suffering 'from the effects of the depression through no fault of their own must be named for. This would be the last burden lifted from the backs of the people, while the Beed remained. Comparing the Drury government cicficit of $1"5,000,900 at a time woven the revenues of the provinces were increasing, with the record of the pre- sent administration which had been able to balance its budget and tc achieve a surplus of nearly $500,000, he stroftgly cont'en'ded those a he referred to the balance as a 'phantom surplus. "Geo. S. Henry prides himself an his common honesty," he shouted -When ire says that we have a sur- plus of '$l500;000 I defy anyone to prove the contrary." When the speaker had finished his remarks 'he was greeted with an en- tlturiastic roar of applause. 'Cheers were given for the local candidate Geo. Elliott, and the meeting adjourn- ed to put into effect in the campaign some of the determination to win which was the most outstanding fea- ture of the meeting.

Suggested Changes in Spraying Operations Due To Winter Injury The Ontario Spray Calendar rec- couunends the following changes in spraying operations an account of winter injury: In districts (or orchards) where injury to fruit trees is severe and only iii such districts, we would rec- ommend that the first sprays outlined in the :Ontario Spray Calendar should be modified as follows: 'Apples—Outside the Niagara Dis- trict Resex and Kent, do not spray for San Jose' 'Scale except on trees un whichit was conspicuous last year. On the_e use either lime sulph- ur 1-7 or 3% lubricating oil emulsion in 3-6-40 'Bordeaux. Omit oil spray for red mite this year. On trees on which San 'Jose scale was not con- spicuous last year, use only 3-6-40 Bordeaux. • `Pears - Where Pear ;Psylla is. troublesome use a 2% lubricating oil spray; elsewhere omit spray. Plums -'On Japanese Plums omit the `first spray. (Peaches—Where San Jose scale is rot present, spray with lime .sulphur 11,1:5 or Bordeaux Mixture 3.4-40; elsewhere use lune sulphur 1-7,, Sweet Oherries—Usc one-half pint nicotine sulphate and 2- lbs.- soap. to 40 gallons water. Tis . ectiona or orchards :where there ;s no winter injury or no appreciable injury, the spray calendar recont- meedations should be followed, Current Crop Report Twenty 'Meetings were held in con- nection with the \Varbtle and l-Ieel Fly campaign in Peel County during Murch and it is estimated that over 70% of the cattle in Peel will be treated this Spring for these' pest;. Other 'counties also report the \Val• ble Fly campaign under ,w=ay, DnI- feritt County furnishes the eincnnr- aging 'word that livestock, particular- ly cows, are in very satisfactory con- dition.

Faith of Brantford, direc- tor of extension for fie IHolstein- ;F!iesian Association of Canada, spea- king, at a recent 'sleeting of the Lamb - ton County live stock breeders and fainters, drew attention to the deven- cping markets for dairy cattle both in Canada and abroad, .at. F.'.4.1", which have advanced considers since the beginning of the year, attd 'he expressed the opinion that any constructive efforts now made in building the herds of the County to higher standards in type, quality, and production w-ojild lead to returns front the industry in volume suffi- cient to compensate the farmer for his labor an.d investment. 'Mr, Faith dealt particularly with the need for more record of performance work 'oil the part of all breeders, urged more blood testing for the control of tB'anss Disease, and pleaded for the co-operation of all concerned in get- ting a better class of herd sires lo- cated tinder the hottusing policy of the Federal and :Proeincial g •• -n- ments. IHe held out no encouragement to he breeder who was contented to continue with a breeding program which gave no promise of improve- ment, hut turning to the farmer who had far-reaching ideals and made use of constructive methods, the views of the speaker were that the future look- ed as hopeful today as it had in any period of the past, Foresight A story so old its origin cannot be traced is the one about the boy who built a boat in his father's workshop All winter he -hammered and sawed enthusiastically while his father watched and smiled, When spring cause the boat stood complete and shining with paint. Then the boy woke up' to the fact that the 'boat was too big to go out the door and it would he necessary to take the shed down in order to move the craft to the water, Some versions of the story have it that the father refused to per- mit the 'boy to do this in order to teach the lad always to think through to the -conclusion of any task before he began it. That story cannot be verified, but one that can be concerns the crew of CWA workers who built a new foutt- dation for a community schoolhouse. They scsi up a concrete mixer in the centre of the excavation where it would be handy to the forms.
