This group, representative of all branches of the dairy industry, met in Ottawa earlier this month with the Agri- cultural Food Board and also with the Hon, J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, and put their case in plain language. The Minister was urged to have the Cabinet re- open the question of subsidies be- fore May 1 when most of the sub- sidies now being paid on dairy products wilt be reduced. * 0* There is hope that appropriate action will be taken. Dr. G. S. H. Barton, Deputy Minister of Agri- culture and Chairman of the Agri- cultural Food Board, said recently, "Of all the food products needed urgently, dairy products top the list." The reason for this, Ile said, is due to the wide range of de. mends for batter, cheese, concen- tratedmilk, fluid milk and other milk products as a result of war. Canadian civilian consumption of milk and milk products jumped 18% in 1043 over the previous year. In addition huge quantities were --'.-. provided for our Armed Forces and for shipment abroad, while to - LADIES!

Information from other Allied countries, not- ably the United States, New Zeal- and and Australia, reveals a situ- ation similar to that existing in. Canada, It begins to look as though there will be a serious shortage of these vital foods in the face of critical need once the starving peoples of Europe are liberated and the Un- ited Nations are faced with the task of feeding thein, in addition to meeting present needs. Unless the hard-pressed dairy farmer gets immediate and substantial aid, what's going to happen? * * * Oats, the most important cereal crop in Prince Edward Island, is liable to injury chiefly front leaf rust, and to a lesser extent stem rust. Department of Agriculture grain experts are recommending Ethan as outstanding among the varieties resistant to leaf rust, While it is pointed out that it is resistant to only two of the many forms of leaf rust, these are tate ones causing most of the damage in the Maritimes. Erban has no resistance to stela rust but is high- ly resistant to both loose and cov- ered smut, and over a period of years has compared favorably with Banner- and Victory in yield. The kernels are large so that increas- ing the regular seeding rate by one of two pecks per bushed is advised when this variety is used. * * * Speaking of oats, a new variety of hutless oats named Brighton is announced by the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, Developed front a cross of Markion with Laur- el, it is resistant to smut like its Marnoch parent, while in yield it surpasses the Laurel side of the family. In tests it outyielded both Banner and Victory on a kernel Basis, It is also reported apparently well adapted to soil attd climatic conditions in many parts of Can- ada.

Why Not Turkey Eggs In February Turkey eggs 111 February! That is the story of a district feed mer- chant who specializes in select pout- try foods, says the St. Catharines Standard, One of his farmer customers presented him with a turkey egg the other day, and even the farmer wanted to know: Holy conte? The answer was that the turkey had been getting the proper food, some of that whu11 made the Leghnrns produce anegg a day. 00 Canadian farms, for decades past. the turkey has been consider- ed a scan. -wild fowl given to the greatest secrecy in nest hiding and laying just enough for one brood a year, :l,'hc young turira conte out in all the hazards of weather and, if the season 1s rainy, 'the casualty toll is very heavy.

THE WAR • WEEK Commentary on Current ' Events Axis Troops Pour Into Hungary' And Occupy All Strategic Points Out of the welter of confusing and 'contradictory reports about Hungary there emerges_ this one certainty: Hitler has taken over an- other country. He has converted another ally into a vassal and is rapidly wiping out any distinction between those who hoped to share in his victory and those he has conquered. Moreover, he appears to have accomplished this new coup with the salve old methods of treachery, surprise and fifth column preparation that proved so success- ful in the cases of Austria, Czecho- ,aloyakia, Denmark and Norway, and to some extent even in Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Yugo- slavia. For while the heads of the Hungarian Government were still conferring with Hitlerat his head- quarters, more' than 100,0.10 Ger- man and Rumanian troops marched into Hungary with the aid and con- nivance - of Hungarian Nazi ole- ments; occupied all its important points and communication centers; arrested hundreds of Liberals and Socialists, and rapidly crushed any opposition. Now Hitler is search- ing for a compliant puppet govern- ment under whose nominal author- ityhe proposes to incorporate Hun- gary into that greater German Le- bensraum which is rapidly turning from a living space into a region ,1 death, says the New York Times, Hitler Must Hold Balkans The reasons for Hitler's action seems clear enough. The Russian advance across the Dniester into MODEL HEROINE • Exploits of Paulina Syedova, for- mer leader of guerrilla band, who became pilot of military ambulance plane, inspired Russian director Frederick Ermler's film about Soviet women at war, showing un- der title of. "No Greater Love". Rumania heralds the end of the' battle of Russia and the beginning' of the battle for the Balkans. Hit- ler must hold the Balkans because he needs their raw materials, and in particular the oil of Rumania, without which Isis war machine would be in danger of breaking down. But after the severance of the Odessa -Warsaw railway by the Russian armies his main commuiii- cation lines to the Balkans lead through Hungary, Hungary was his ally; it joined both the Anti - Comintern pact and the Axis pact;. it granted Germany military transit rights long ago, and it joined in the war against Russia with its own troops. But, using treachery as a' normal devi 1 of his own diplo- macy, Hitler trusts nobody. He does not trust the Germans' whom he keeps in line by the terror of his police; and he trusts his allies even less—unless his 'own troops 'and Gestapo are in control. The German occupation of Hungary is thus Hitler's notice to the world that he is determined to fight for the Balkans and that the Carpath- ians are his main line of defense, Hungary's Recent Growth Just what the attitude of the Hun- garian Government has been in this situation is still unclear, There are reports that it refused Hitler's sweeping demands and has been put under arrest. That is not im- plausible, for. proud Hungary has always been jealous of its sover- eignty. But that does not absolve the Government of responsibility for the plight of the country. Hun- gary joined Hitler partly under the compulsion of its exposed geogra- • phic situation, but also because of the spoils promised it. With Ger- man aid, it acquired the Carpatho- 'Ukraine f r o m Czechoslovakia, Transylvania and Rumania and the Banat from Yugoslavia. The coun- try grew from 35,300 square miles, with a population of 9,100,000 to 01,700 square miles and a popula- toin of 12,700,000, Now Hitler is exacting payment for his aid at the cost of Hungary's independence, Again The Iron Fist There still remains the question wiry Hitler adopted methods which are bound to antagonize the Hun- garian people. There can be no doubt that the Hungarians would resist a Russian attempt at invas- ion. But if they could escape an invasion and get out of the rear even at the cost of heavy sacrifices they would probably jump at the chance. There have been numer- ous reports that not only Hungary but also Rumania and Bulgaria were eagerly seeking a way out, hese days, when tea must yield ° the utmost in flavour, quality is of supreme importance. Ask for .. A A111'. TEA VOICE OF THE PRESS FINE REPORT OF C.N.R. Management add personnel of the. Canadian National Railways are to be congratulated on the re- port on 1943 operations tabled in the House of Commons last week. The statistics presented by the president and chairman, Mr. R. C. Vaughan, constitute a new high all around: After payment of all op- erating expenses, there is a net revenue of $119,140,000, or $29,484,- 000 more than 111 1942, A cash sur- plus of 535,659,000. remained after meeting taxes, interest due the public and the Government, and providing 019,000,000 reserve for pension contracts. This exceeded the surplus of 1042 by more than $10,000,000. The unprecedented success was due primarily to the heavy traffic of a war year, It shows neverthe- less the earning power of the sys- tem: when the possibility exists. Obviously expenditures were close- ly watched. Operating expenses in- creased by 035,470,000, while oper- ating revenue gained 064,961,000. The operating ratio for the year war 73.04 per cent, compared with 81,99 per cent in the most favor- able peace year, 1028. The way in which the railway systems have risen to the extra- ordinary demands must be gratify- - ing to the public as well as those directly concerned with the job. A standard Inas been set which indi- cates that only sufficient traffic is required to snake operations suc- cessful at any time, —Toronto Globe and Mail, and Russia's recognition of the It- alian Government, with which Hun- gary always maintained closer re- lations than with Germany, may have suggested possibilities for Hun- gary as well. Hitler, mindful of Italy's switch and embarrassed by the Finnish -Russian negotations for a separate peace, apparently deter- mined to crush all such efforts in the Balkans with an iron fist. Plan Frozen -Food Units For Farmers Ontario farmers after the war may be able, through "quick-freez- ing" units at low cost,to enjoy in midwinter the berries and veget- ables they produce in summer. As c soon as the war ends, Ontario Hydro proposes to send out me- chanized units to display to the farmer and his wife latest electrical machinery and "gadgets" available. The plan was disclosed in the Leg- islature last week by Hydro Com- missioner G. H, Challies. Mr. Challies said the "quick freez- ing" unit was not a dream but had been worked on for months in Hydro laboratories to; sell at a very low cubic -foot cost. Hydro was, not merchandising but would pro- vide cheap power to bring modern equipment within the reach of every farm home. He knew, he said, of one unit al- ready in operation which could hold 60 dozen ears of corn, six crates of strawberries, six crates of raspberries as welt as poultry and meat, Through their use farmers could enjoy in winter their summer surplus.
