OTTAWA REPORTS That Activities of Cis -operative Associations Are Increasing In AU Parts Of Canada Nearly half a million farmers are members of co-operative associa- tions in Canada. These associa- tions are now doing more than a quarter of a million dollars' worth of business annually, according to Dontittion Government figures. To an increasing extent a farmer can deliver his livestock to a live- stock. shipping association, milk to a cooperative dairy, and eggs and poultry to a poultry cooperative. He can purchase his household necessities and other farm items through a cooperative store, his tractor fuer an dgasoline from a cooperative oil station, and his farm machinery frons a farm implement association. * * * Since the outbreak of war the Credit Unions of Quebec have ex- perienced perhaps the greatest ex- pansion among the various types of cooperations which prevail in various parts of the Dominion From some 1200 in 1230, these have grown to somewhere around 1800. Wartime regulations forbidding opening of new bu mess places or expansion of those already estab- lished have been a serious check on cooperatives, but taking over of privately owned stores has substan- tially increased their numbers. The trend in this direction has been greatest in Western Canada, it is reported. In the Maritimes, while • expansion is curtailed, interest in study clubs has been maintained, and it is anticipated that with the lifting of restriction- the coopera- tive movement will go ahead rapid- ly in all parts of the country. *_ * * About five million bushels of corn is used annually by the starch industry in Canada. Since the out- break of war Iarge quantities of Canadian -grown corn have replaced that formerly imported. The starch companies have found Canadian corn of good quality quite suitable for their purpose, says F. Dim - mock, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Good quality corn, he points out, means that it is well matured. naturally dried, high ni starch and low in moisture. \Vith this corn properly cribbed, Mr. Dimmack feels there should be no handicap in supplying the entire requirements of the starch industry with Canadian corn both now and after the war. * * The urgent need .for horsehair _is str essed-or " b P`""' L.

An early variety such as Ir' '1 Cobbler is re- commended by Experimental Farm experts. Disinfect the tubers, then place them in shallow boxes, btid ends up. (\Vhen only szfiall lots are sprouted, dry sand can be used to fill in around the tubers so as to cover them slightly, and then kept moist until the seed is plant- ed), When placed iu a room of front 55 to 60 degrees F. green healthy sprouts will . develop in from four to five weeks. With the use of sand, a strong root growth develops simultaneously with the sprouts, but great care must be taken at planting time to avoid damaging these roots, India has a corps of skilled workmen who can be sent in or- ganized parties to work in any factory where they are urgently required, on the sante lilies as their opposite numbers in Russia, Bri- tain and the U.S,A.

There was no doubt about the arrogance; Hitler announced it on the sable day: "German people! At this moment a March is taking place that, as regards extent, compares with the greatest the world hitherto has seen. United with their Finnish comrades, the fighters of the -vic- tory at Narvik are standing in the Northern Arctic. German divisions commanded by the conqueror of Norway, in co-operation with the heroes of Finnish freedom under their marshal, are protecting Fin- nish soil, Formations of the Ger- man Eastern front extend from .East Prussia to the Carpathians. German and Rumanian soldiers are united under Chief of Stale An- tonescu from the banks of the Fruth along the lower reaches of the Danube to the shores of the Black Sea. The task of this front, therefore, no longer is the protec- tion of single countries but the safeguarding of Europe and there- by the salvation of all. I therefore decided today again to lay the fate and future of the German Reich and .our people in the hands of our soldiers." That enormous advance upon a front reaching from far above the Arctic Circle to the mouths of the Danube, plunged forward; it was 'to tear huge wounds in the body of Soviet Russia, slaughter tens and hundreds of thousands of its innocent people; rob, burn, enslave and destroy and in so doing waste a generation of Germany's own manhood upon the endless Russian plains. But it was not to succeed. Red Army In Rumania The Red armies, fighting their way back across eight hundred or nine hundred bloody miles, from. the Volga and the deep Caucasus, have surged across the old Prut River boundary along a 165 -mile front and have penetrated dry Ru- manian territory for a distance of Wile Af:.•' Iy thirsty- ,: a ai 'stir&1 c ..J ,ue .1;5'x„ t pie ' agonu ing m'bnths of '' battle to free its own soil from the in- vader, Russia if now staging an in- vasion of its own, says the New York Times. -For the first time since Russa entered the war Soviet military dispatches bear the date- lines of recognized enemy terri- tory. Balkan. Campaign Frong a militate standpoint the campaign offers tremendous pos- sibilities. It is the beginning of a drive into the Balkans which, if pressed fast enough, threatens to entrap the German armies now rc- treating from the southern Ukraine. That in itself would be a great achievement. Beyond that , es- pecially if it could be coordinated NAZIS' .LAST DITCH -1? The photo above, just received from neutral sources, shows Nazi soldiers walking along bed of 20 -foot deep anti-tank ditch, but- tressed by wall of reinforced conerete, said by Germans to be part of Hitler's "Atlantic Wall' defenses against invasion. with a drive from the western Balkans, this drive could well un- hinge the whole German Balkan flank, .liberate Greece and Yugo- slavia, drive Rumania and Bul- garia out of the war and deprive Germany of whatever ,aid in man- power and materials she is still able to extract from them. Mar- shal Tito's reported move into Ser- bia might well be a preliminary to an attempt to invade Rumania from the rear. if Tito and Mikhailovitch could be .brought together to fight the common enemy instead of fight- i..g each other they would represent a formidable military factor. But. since • a political solution of Yugo- slaia's internal dlffictilties has pro- ved impossible and since Allied aid in the Balkans is limited by the strategy agreed upon at Teheran, the main burden of the Balkan campaign will have to be borne by Russia. Political Offensive For that reason the Russian in- vasion of the Balkans represents not merely a military but also a political offensive of great import- ance. More than ever the nations of Europe in general and those of the Balkans in particular are scan- ning -the political horizon to learn what slogans the invading Russian armies carry on their banners. In these circumstances it was an act of highest statesmanship when Mr. Moiotoff announced to the world that the Soviet Government does not pursue the aim of acquiring Ru- menial' 'territory (that is, beyond Bessarabia, which Russia regards as its own) and that it does not pro- pose to alter the existing social structure of Rumania. This state- ment, which acquires added validity from Russia's continued peace ne- gotiations With Finland on the basis of improving terms, is - a pledge which begins to define the limits of Russian aspirations and niay be accepted as given .in the spirit of the Atlantic Charter, the Anglo - Russian Alliance and the Moscow and' Teheran Declarations. It does - not solve the other Russian border question nor does it exclude a later Russian demand for ' a "friendly" Rumanian Government after the war, but as far as it goes it'helps to clarify Russian intentions and Allied policy in the Balkans. In the words of Secretary Hull, it slxould also ..heli -4, e i2 z+,z z;.n 'ztealize that'Y'their awia ttltrn ate ,i terests require that German forces be driven from their country."

Colored Eggs Gift Of Rabbit On Easter Eve The giving of Easter eggs is one of our earliest surviving customs In the time of Edward I we read of four hundred eggs being bought for the Court, They were to be boiled, stained and covered with gold leaf, and after being duly consecrated in church, were distributed to members of the Royal Hottsenold. In those days all the children in the land used to be given • eggs at Easter, not to eat but to play with. One way to ornament them was to write on the warm eggs with a tallow candle and then put them in some dye and boil them hard. Or you could boil them in the dye first and then scrape off the color to form a light pattern on the colored .ground. On Easter day then, the children would sally forth with their pretty eggs. but they returned only with broken shells. For the thing to do was to challenge one's friends to an egg fight,, Egg would be hurled at egg until there would be little left • of thein save the broken pieces which were claimed by the victors. Froin time immemorial eggs have been used to represent the new birth of the springtime. Am .old. legend relates that colored eggs are 'the gift of the rabbit on Easter .Eve, and that is why the bunny is one• of the most conspicuous of Easter symbols.
