OTTAWA REPORTS That Question on Subsidies On Dairy Products. May, Be Re- opened Before May 1 Protest over the failure of the Federal Government to continue the subsidies on dairy products throughout the summer months has been registered by a 'delegation of some 30 members of the Dairy Farmers of Canada, This group, representative of all branches of the dairy •industry, met in Ottawa earlier tbia; month with the Agri- cultural Food 1 oard and also with the Ilon, J. Gi; Gardiner, 'ATinister of Agriculture, and put their case in plain Ianguage. 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 roducts will be reduced. * * se There is hope that appropriate action w iii be taken, Dr. Ci.• S. II. Barton, Deputy ,Minister of Agri- culture and Chairman of the '.1gri- cultural Food Board, said recently, 'Of all the food products needed urgently, dairy products top the list." The reason for .this. he said, is due to the wide range of • de- mands for butter, cheese, concen-: rated milk, fluid milk- and other milk products as a result of war. Canadian civilian consumption of milk and milk products jumped iS% in 1943 over thb previous year. • In addition_. huge quantities were provided for our Armed Forces .and for shipment abroad, erlrile to - LIVE YOUR LIFE AND LOVE IT All Wainer: who have httd func- tional pains know the remount of silent suffering they must endure each month .l;!rnnil'», Backache, Upset Nerves, It1uv and Depre- iulr crowd ambition and enjoyment nut of life The Pleasure of freedom frons this condition knows nu ]rounds • Yet seething and comforting help is no farther away than your neatest drug store , A welcome relief from this distres- sing conrlitidn may be found in -the use c1 Mulveney's 1t'11'1:I.1.

In the current year increased demand is anticipated while pros- pects for greater productibr are none too cheerful. 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- itech Nations are faced with the task of feeding then, 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 Whey chiefly from leaf rust, and -"to a lesser extent stem rust. ,Department of Agriculture grain experts are recommending :Erban as . outstanding among the varieties ".resistant 'to leaf rust. While it' is pointed out that it is resistant to only two of the many forrus of • leaf rtxst, these are the ones causing most of the damage in the Maritimes. Erban has no resistance to stern 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 or two peeks per bushed is advised when this variety is used. * * * F,peaking of oats, a new variety of hnlless oats named Brighton is announced by the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. Developed from a crass of Markton with Laur- el, it. is resistant to strut like its Markton parent, while in yield it surpasses the Laurel side of the fancily. In tests it outyielded both Banner and Victory on a kernel basis. It is also reported apparently well adapted to soil and climatic conditions in many parts of Can- ada. Seed stocks are still scarce but officials say there should be enough at the end of the 1944 season for all who inay be interested. * * * Prices for seed potatoes this spring are based by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board on the ceiling price per pound for Canada No. 1 table stodk in any zone dur- ing tete period March 0 to April 2, plus a premium of one cent a pound for Certified Seed, 13.1 rents a pound for Foundation 'A' Seed and •i cents a pound for Foundation Seed, Why Not Turkey Eggs In February Turkey eggs in 'February! That is the story of a •district feed mer- chant who specializes in select poul- try fonds, says the St. Catharines Standard. One of his farmer customers presented him with 'a turlcty egg the other day, and even the farmer wanted to know: How conte? The answer was that the tuikey had been getting the proper food, some of that which made the L eghorns produce an egg a clay. On Canadian farms, for decades past, the turkey has been consider- ed a semi -wild fowl given to the greatest secrecy its nest hiding and laying just enough for one brood a year. The young lurks conte out in 'all the hazards of weather and, if the season is taint', the casualty toll is very heavy. No special feed- ing of turkeys has ever been felt necessary, on the average farm; they always roam far afield. The turkey shortage last Christ- mas was just one of those things tvlriclt ' intelligent breeding and handling will obviate lit the years to come. If • turkeys lay eggs in winter, ttncicr' proper conditions, there will soon he a turkey hatchery on a big scale, as complete a do- ntesticatiott as that which applies to the chicken family. 7' THE WAR - WEEK -w Commentary on Current Events Axis Troops Pour Into Hungary And Occupy A11 Strategic Points Out of the welter of ,confusing and contradictory reports about Henget), there emerges this one certainty: Hitler has taken over an- other country. He has converted another ally into a vassal and is rapidly wiping ant any distinction between those who doped to share in his victory and those he, has conquered. Moreover, he appears, to have accomplished this new coup with the sante old methods of treachery, surprise and fifth column preparation that proved so success- ful in the cases of Austria, Czecho- slovakia, 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 Hitler at his head- quarters, more titan 190,0.10 Ger- man and Rumanian troops starched into Hungary with the aid and con- nivance of Hungarian Nazi ele- 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 compliant puppet govern- ment under whose nominal author- ity he proposes to incorporate Hun- gary into that greater German Le- bensraum which is rapidly turning from a living space into a region f 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 Pauling 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 sen- der title of "No Greater Love". Rumania heralds the end of the battle of kttssia and the beginning of the battle for the Balkans. Hit- ler rust hold the Balkans because he needs their raw materials, and .particular the oil of Rumania, Without w•hi •h his war machine would be in danger of breaking down. But after the severance of the Odessa-li'arsav railway by the Russian armies his train communi- cation • lines to the Balkans lead through 11ungary. 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 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 le 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 Itis retain 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. \Vith Ger- man aid, it acquired the Carpatho- Ukraine from Czechoslovakia, Transylvania and Rumania and the Banat from Yugoslavia. The coun- try grew from :1.;,800 square miles, with a population of 9,100,000 to 61,700,.square miles and a popula- toin of 1:?,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 why Hitler adopted methods which are bound to antagonize the Hun- farian 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 war even at the cost of heavy sacrifices they would probably juutp at the chanes. There have been numer- ous reports that not only Hungary bits aL 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 • Pe VOICE OF THE PRESS FINE REPORT OF C.N.R. Management and personnel of the Canadian National Railways are to be congratulated on the re- port on 1943 operations tabled lit 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 3116,140,000, or 329,484, - goo more than in 1942. A cash sur- plus of 335,639,000 remained after meeting taxes, interest due the public and the Government, and providing 319,000,000 reserve for pension contracts. This exceeded the surplus of 1942 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 335,470,000, while oper- ating revenue gained 3364,001,000. 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 has been set which indi- cates that oily sufficient traffic is required to retake operations suc- cessful at any time. --Toronto Globe and Mail. and Russia's recognition of ti:e It- alian Government, with whichsiun- gary always maintained closer re- Iations 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 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 well as poultry and meat. Through their use farmers could enjoy in winter their summer surplus.
