OUR BANKING SYSTEM
Canadians have'. reason to be
proud of a great many of her insti-
tutions but probably none has serv-
ed with greater distinction than otir
bank system.
In the United States no fewer
than, 2800 banks have failed during
this depression period involving
losses to depositors and stock hold-
ers tostaggering. amounts,
In Canada not one cent has been
fest to the depositors who intrusted
their hinds to Canadian banks.
The banks have often been criti-
cized for their loan policy and pos-
sibly with some reason, but one can
not overlook the fact that the banks
have given their despoitors reason
to be thankful that the moneys they
intrusted to them, have been well -
secured,
President Hoover, to place ways
and means at the disposal of the
American public, had the U. S. Gov-
ernment issue baby bonds in order
that small investors might feel sec-
ure. _ No such action "has been ne-
cessary in Canada.
Great sums of money are now be-
, ing deposited. in Canadian banks by
American citizens , that they may
take advantage of the exchange rate
as they feel this exchange tate
against Canadian currency will not
last for long and in the meantime
their money . is placed in the safe
keeping of an institution superior to
their own.
U. S. TURNS DOWN
SALES TAX
The United States Government
has tossed aside ,a bill which was to
create a sales tax of 2.1%. We in
Canada are quite familiar with this
form •of taxation as we have been
payini it in varying amounts for
some . years past. At present the
rate is 4% and is expected to be 6%
in the near future.
It was combined action of both
parties that refused this bill and now
the United States officials will have
to look for other means to raise the
$290,.000,000 expected from this
source.
Last year a delegation from
Washington came to Ottawa and
studied this form of tax and were
so impressed by its revenue-produc-
ing, qualities that they recommend-
ed that it be put .in force in the
United States. They did not con-
vince their ` legislators, however, and
once again the officials will go into
a huddle to detertnine how best to
raise the necessary money to bal-
ance their budget.

Place. - Many facts point to wes-
tern Asia as the primitive home of
the human race, probably Babylonia;.
but here also we are met by many
conflicting theories.
IN THE BEGINNING — GOD.
In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. Note that
the wonderful account goes back to
the very beginning. The greatest
achievement of the first chapter of
Genesis is that it announced unity,
order, and progression in nature.
And the spirit of God moved upon
the face of the waters. The Holy
Spirit did. not first come after our
Lord had died. "God's Holy Spirit`
worked in physical law, as well as in
the special manifestation of divine
power seen at Pentecost."
And God said, Let there be light;
and there was light. What more ma-
jestic description of . God's power
couldthere be than these eleven
words, all of one' :syllable? They
signify the setting in motion of the
dull and stagnant mass of nebulous
matter, and the beginning of that
!vast revolution which was not only
to flash into light but to come to
gether into fornz.
And God saw the light that it was
I good. All that God has created is
'good: it .could not be otherwise, for
God is good. And God divided the
light from the darkness. That is to
say, God gave them natures: Mean -
able of mixing, pereptually in oppos-
ition to, each other, and put between
1 them the widestspace and distance.
And God called the light Day, and
the darkness He called Night. After
Iestablishing it, He named it, as a fa-
ther has a right to name his child.
And there was evening and there
!was morning one day.
Man's day begins with morning
1 and ends with the set of sun and the
I creeping on of shadows, God's day
'begins with darkness and draws to-
'ward
o-1ward light, begins in gloom and ends
in glory."
THE DAYS OF CREATION.
MAN, IN GOD'S IMAGE.
And . God said, Let us make man
in our image, after our likeness. Man
only was created in God's image; he'.
only could have fellowship with God.,
And let thein have dominion over
the fish of the seas, over the birds

And God blessed thein. It was
this story of divine goodness, as told
upon earth by God, that made man'
so blessed. The happiness of the
creature came directly from what he
knew of this loving Creator. And
God said unto them, Be fruitful, and

And God said, Behold ,1 have giv-
en you every herd yielding seed,
which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in which is the
fruit of a tree yielding seed. The
grasses are assigned -for food to the
brute creation, while to man is given

Onion Production
Onion growers in Southwestern
1
Ontario enjoyed a fairly successful
year in 1931, but they fear that with
the low prices in other lines of farm
produce, there niay be too many go-
ing into onions. An effort will be
made by the co-operative to limit
the acreage this year. It pointed
out that last year the Erieau marsh-
es were again cultivated and that
considerable acreage was added for
that reason. Weather counteracted
the expected increase, however, and
tiie co-operative 'was able to place
such surplusas was at hand, A .mar-
ket glut is feared this year if the

onion production.
123 .Red Clover Entries
What is reported to be a world's
record entry of redclover seed, ev-
er exhibited at any exhibition or fair
was the achievement of the Ottawa
Valley 'Seed Growers' Association,
according to George R. Paterson of
the Ontario Marketing Board. At
the annual seed fair held by this or-
ganization in Hawkesbury, March
16 to 18, one hundred and twenty-
three individual lots of red clover
were placed on display in two class-
es. There were 48 entries in the cer-
tified class, and. 75 in the open class.
That the - quality • of red clover
produced in the Ottawa Valley is
second to none, might be realized
from the fact that, on official .an-
alysis, over ..forty, of the total en-
tries revealed absolute freedom from
weed seeds, and over eighty per cent
graded No. 1,
Much of the success enjoyed by
the growers. in this district, in cer-
eals as -well as red clover, has been.
due to the establishment of ,well-
managed seed cleaning plants.

At the annual convention of Kent
County Wood Inspectors held re-
cently at Chatham, several delegates
reported sow . thistle to be decreas-
ing 'in extent, according to A. H.
Martin, assistant , director, Crops and
Markets Branch, Provincial Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Thomas Skin-
ner, weed inspector for Camden
Township, :reported a ' 30 per cent,
decrease of sow thistle in one year.
Mr. ' Skinner says that this success-
ful battle against sow .thistle was
brought about by the whole -hearted
co-operation .of the farmers and road
superintendents with the weed in-
spector.
Control measures in Kent County,
on srnall patches, consist of, spray-
ing with chemicals.
Where sow thistle has spread ex-
tensively, "early after harvest culti-
vation" or. "summer fallowing" is
practised. A short rotation, includ-
ing one specialized crop such as to-
bacco, sugar beets, or some other
hoed crop, is very effective in check-
ing ' all weeds, including sow thistle.
Care of Baby Chicks
Proper care and ` management is
essential to the successful raising of
baby chicks, They, should have a,
'generous supply of pure water a1-;
ways available. Drinking vessels
harbor germs and Often the water
will become •contaminated and may.
spread disease through the entire
flock. ' Then there is the danger of
some infected chicks in every hatch,
danger of diarrhoea and intestinal
trouble. Don't permit a few chicks"
to infect your entire flock.
March Weather
The value of snow in protecting
craps and providing a reserve of,
moisture for the spring and summer
is recognized this year as never be-
fore. The entire province enjoyed
open weather until the first of this
month, so open in fact that it rous-
ed apprehension as to the effect on ..
certain crops. Reports were receiv-
ed `frons a number of agricultural re-
presentatives noting that damage
was being done to clover and to fall
wheat. Then came a heavy snowfall,
providing the most desirable kind of
blanket against sun, wind and frost.
Growth cannot be expected for sev-
eral
weeks and in the meantime it
is desirable that roots be protected;
While fruit treebuds may suffer to
some extent from the low .tempera-
ture, any .loss of this nature is like-
ly to be balanced by the killing of
insects that are stirred into too ear-
ly activity. Several species, such as
the San Jose Scale have increased in
numbers with the recent. mild win-
ters, Nature's method of control is
a near zero weather such as Margit
has supplied. •
