OTTAWA REPORTS 'The* In Parliament Inlet Week A Price Floor wail Proposed For Staple Farm Products VOICE ?F THR._ PRESS DURING FEBRUARY DIY WAR STAMPS FOOD s ARE Cheering new's' f or Canada's farming commtunity eaaixe last week in the Specctl ' ilbst. the Throne. at the opening cif ,tile fifth session of :Canada's 10th Parlia- ment,. Proposal arlia- inent.:Proposal to introduce pro ' vision for a ,price floor for staple farm products to ensure dtability for agriculture follows an announce- ment anad, ;some time ago by the Prince Minisfet that this measure was under consideration, No group in the Donaihion has contributed more in hard work and human en- edurance to the winning of the war than the farmer and his family. The coming season will call for no less effort than in the previous war years. A floor on farm pro- ducts in the future would be an in- centive to meet this call. * * * If you are tempted 'to use feed grain from the West for seed this year, the . advice of Experimental Farm experts is "Don't," While there are several varieties of wheat, oats and barley -that do equally well in both .Eastern and Western Canada, as proven in tests made by the Cereal Division, Experimental Farm Service, Ot- tawa, the only safe seed to buy is Registered seed. Owing to the pos- sibility of a shortage of seed grain this spring, farmers are' urged to order now. In addition to the pos- sibility of IVestern feed grain being unsuitable to various localities in the East, attention is called to the .danger of wild oats and other nox- ious weeds which re -cleaning is not guaranteed to remove. * * . * The farmer who Ilas his own seed and who is doubtful about its germinating qualities due to in- jury by bad harvest conditions, heating or other factors,. is advised to test it. Make the test by count- ing out 100 kernels and placing then in a saucer of moist sand with another saucer turned aver it to help hold the moisture. (It may be necessary to add a very small amount of water each day to keep the sand moist). In a few days sprouts will begin to show and it is then easy to determine what percentage of the seeds will grow. fc where •the to to tin ga eel • las be uta be Ne far tiol for duc eral clue neer pho of 1 two tion enco mon ellen cont this ton * * * Farmers should place orders for rtilizer not later than March 15 avoid disappointment, according the fertilizer administrator, War - le Prices .and Trade Board, Re- rding mixtures containing pot- / which is in shorter supply than t year, retail distributors have. en directed to see that all reg - r farmer customers are Supplied fore acceptheese new accounts, w customers who are bona fide niers- may be taken on if addi- ial supplies are available.

WEEK -- Commentary on Current events Why The R.A.F. Bomber Command Is s Destroying Capital of Germany The attack upon Berlin /larks the highest point yet reached in the bomber offensive, says Squad- ron Leader John Strachey in Lon- don Calling. •This attack is a deliberate at- tempt to deprive the enemy of the use of his capital city, I:..'�.F. Bom- ber Couinaud has set out to make it impossible for the Nazis to use Berlin. For remember, Berlin is today the capital, not simply of Germany, but of Hitler's whole slave empire. Berlin is a city in a totally different class to Essen, Dusseldorf, or even Hamburg—or any other of the cities which 'Bom- ber Command ]las so far attacked. Berlin is the fourth largest city in the world. It is one of the half dozen or so world capitals round which the life not only of one na- tion but of a whole area of the world revolves, Berlin contains factories of the Highest importance; but its unique significance is that the economic life of Central Europe as a whole has been carried on by means of the financial, marketing, administrative, and transportation facilities of Berlin. Berlin Not Yet Destroyed We don't know what the effect of the paralysis of such a centre wit be. For such a thing has peter yet happened. If, however, Barber Com/land can effect 'its purpose, we shall know . , and wvi:hin the next few weeks. It ntly be that the Nazi empire can be` caried on without Berlin. I daiesay it can be. But the ruin of 'Berlin—if it can be effected -- will take us a Iong step towards the weakening of Germany to a point where she will not be able to resist the final attack. "If it car be effected" — for don't let us deceive ourselves for a monent into supposing that Berlin has already been destroyed, Enemy Kept 3uessing You can get solve idea of the size of the task wlticlt Bomber Command has set itself by com- paring Berlin with Hamburg, Hamburg was itself a vast city -- getting on for twice the size of any city in Britain outside London. Hamburg had 1,800,000 inhabit- ants .and a fully built-up area of 8,382 acres. It is taking a whole series of attacks to render such a City as this useless to the Nazis. 'Moreover, . it will, of course, 'be impossible for Bomber Comivand to peg away at Berlin without iuterrnptioe. The enemy trust be kept guessing as to where we are going next, Counter -Counter Measures It isn't too much to say that the bomber offensive is today the joint product of the brains, the courage, and the grinding hard work of this entire nation, he very success which has been achieved may tend to snake some people think that the bomber Offensive ]las Just been a !!latter of building asufficient number of bombers; flying them over Germany, • dropping' the bombs, and coining r.otne again The fact is that the bonnier offensive has only - been Carried forward by keeping one step ahead of the enemy's continually improving defences 'It would have been fatal even to pause The counter- measure -- the new method of fighter attack against the new forth of bomber defence -- has never been long in coining We have had to be be ready with the counter — counter pleasures; and we have beets. Pathfinders Mark Targets If, for example we were to at- tack Berlin today with the same aircraft and using the same methods which we employed only two years ago our bomber force would be massacred in one or two operations. But, equally, if today our Lan casters, Halifaxes, Stir- lings had to meet no more than the defences which existed in 1942 they could destroy every industrial centre in Germany with negligible losses to themselves. Recently, we have been given an account of the work of our Pathfinder Force. The need for someone to find the path to the target is obvious -- for naturally that same darkness which slides the bomber from the defending fighter also tends to hide the tar- get from the bomber. The Pathfinders are marking the target so that intensely concentrated bombing is being achieved. For Germany that's perhaps the most ominous de- velopment of all. For it is the concentration. in both time and space that counts ,-.. the tons per minute per acrel Personal discharged from t1t forces after November 1, 19*3, are entitled to a. clothing alto-tea/ice of $05 as part of their discharge our rubber grant. Army Beauty Shops Help Men's Morale Applied psychology is being used in the "be•tuty shops" which are maintained by the American Fifth Army in Italy, says the Windsor Star. The establishment of these depots shows the genius which is going into effort to main- ' -in the morale and efficiency of fighting men. Much of the soldier's work makes it necessary for hint, at times, to be dirty and bedraggled. But the majority of these glen do not enjoy being ip that condition. They are wiling to wade and crawl through need to win a battle, bat once it is over, they want to get cleaned up as quickly as possible. The "revival tents" give there that opportunity, There they are showered, shaved and outfitted with clean new uniforms. In a very real sense, they emerge as new men, The "beauty shops" are to be counted ani ng the most valuable agencic for keeping the men in fighting trim, Hevea Tree Main Source Of Rubber From Hevea seeds taken from the Western Hemisphere in 1876 grew the fields on which the world has depended for ninety percent of its rubber since 1020, says Middle Anierica Bureau. Replanted in Calcutta, Singapore and other posts in the Far East, these wild seed- lings became nine million acres of rubber -producing trees. Today the Hevea tree, the main source of natural rubber, has re- turned to the American tropics. .i lone of seeds are being planted in three Middle American count- ries, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama, to become plantations of tonlorow.
