Motherwell,) An effort has heart trade, 4y not altogether, 'disinterested parties, tq ttalittle the, net results of the recent session of Parliament. • Speaking Mare 'palrtieularly with respect to agriculture, 1 may aay" that I cannot :recall any Sessipp.•of' ;Parliament aiilee Confederation that passed more beneficial. legislation on behalf of agriculture than the one recently prort(igued. True, five months I was a long time • to spend in per- forming' the work but that is one of the" prices we must pay for groups in Parliament, all of whom have to have their say. A number of Acts have been passed such as "An act to amend and consolidate the Acts respecting Live Stock" and "An Act to regulate the sale and inspection of Fruit and Fruit Containers," which can be merely referred to here as contain- ing very important and up-to-date legislation in their respective fields. The same may be said of the amend- ments to Feeding Stuffs Act and the Dairy Industry Act, the .,,latter of which provides for thrprohibition of the manufacture and importation of filled butter, filled ntllk and filled cream three pernicious practices that were quietly but persistently establishing a foot -hold in Canada to the great detriment of the dairy industry. In addition to this important leg- islation affecting one of our chief corner stones of Canadian agricul- ture -dairying -was the fight to a finish during the last Session on the question of whether the prohibition of the manufacture and importation of Oleo. would be again reverted to, as it existed for thirty years prior. to 1917. By a non-party vote of fifty-four to one hundred and twenty- five Oleq, for the time being, re- ceived a solar plexus blow that will take some recovering from. Noth- ing' daunted, however, the packers' professional lobbyist was an anxious inquirer around the coMidors the week following the vote, doubtless with a view to renewing the battle at some later date. The report of Dairy Commission- er Mr. J. A. Ruddick and Mr. W. A. Wilson on their return from New Zealapd and Australia, coupled with all the before -mentioned beneficial legislation on behalf of the dairy in- dustry, makes the last Session of Parliament an outstanding on., so far as the dairy industry of Canada is concerned. Although the removal of the Brit- ish Embargo on Canadian cattle did not require legislation action on the part of the Canadian Parliament, it did en the part of the Imperial Government, which was the outcome of a conference between the Imperial and Canadian authorities - hence, properly referred to in this article as one of the advanced steps taken on behalf of agriculture during the past year. The removal of the British Em- bargo against Canadian cattle has had a greater direct result in improving the farmers' market than any other single move that has been accomplish- ed during the past few years. Canada was in the unfortunate position of being largely shut out of the only two available markets for her live cattle -the American tariff and the British Embargo accomp- lishing this end. An agitation has been carried on, both in Great Britain and Canada fot a number of years for the re- moval of the Embargo, and a great many people on both sides of the water have given valuable assistance in this effort, and not a few of them claim that the removal of the Em- bargo is entirely due to their efforts. But to say that a great many people helped in bringing this about, is much nearer the truth of the matter. For the last two or three years, while it was generally expected that the Embargo would he ultimately removed, it was of vital interest to the business ,of raising cattle in Canada, that it should' be removed' quickly, and the delay was not only disappointing, but it was ruinous to the cattle business. The present Ctuiadian Government not only acted promptly, but effectively, in this matter, and when the Ministers of the Government and the officials of the Department• of Agriculture en- tered into a conference with the members of the British Government and officials of the British Ministry of Agriculture, they had a very diffi- cult task on their hands. They ac- complished something, however, ' of real importance for the Canadian farmer when they came to a satis- factory settlement of the case, which as a matter of fact, was only con- cluded the morning after the Lloyd George Government had resigned. A new Government took office in Britain, and then for a time it looked like another year's delay. A special Session of the new Parliament was called in November to pass the Irish Bill. The Canadian Government pressed to have the legislation re- moving the Embargo enacted at this special Session, but the new Govern- ment urged that it had just taken office, that this Session was for a special purpose, and that the Em- bargo legislation should remain in abeyance pntil the regular Session after the first of the year. It was only after repeated and persistent urging on the part of the Canadian Government that this question which had been of such long standing was finally solved by the British Gov- ICTONSA-PARK,' BEAFORTR Community Son 4 f`O Canada"' Address , .1. f, ; Mayor Golding March ^;; ",Samaonian" Taylor $ighlanders Vocal Solo Harry McLeod Humoresque .;x "A Musical Switch" Kenneth Alfred Highlanders Male Quartette- ohn Beattie Oreo.

Mention might also he made of the granting of a certain bounty on twine and cordage made from hemp, for the purpose of establishing a hemp industry in Western Canada - a movement well worthy of a mom- ent's consideration. Canada last eyar became famous' by having arrived at the, stage of being the largest exporter of wheat in the world. In the face of this it does seem a mistake to longer con- tinue to depend upon foreign coun- tries for the twine with which to tic nine -tenths of this crop. Hemp is a product that can be grown success -i fully, almost luxuriantly, in many parts of the West and East, with or without irrigation. It grows freely in this country, and should supply unlimited quantities of rave material for the successful establismhent of a hemp industry, the future production � of which for both home consumption and export no man can estimate. As important as this should be to "giver;; Western man, strange to say, only three Western Members supported it. Following the reduction of freight rates by the restoration of the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement, important leg- islation has been passed designed to control and regulate lake rates, which soared to such alarming proportions last Fall. The personnel and work of the newly - appointed Royal Grain En- quiry Commission, presided over by Mr; Justice Turgeon, is another in- dication of the desire of the present Government to serve agricultur3 faithfully and well. The increase in the estimates of over half a million dollars for the Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis, twenty-five thousand for further ex- periments in the exportation of chilled beef and ten thousand for experimentation with the dehydrating of fruit, all speak fee themselves and indicate a further desire to grapple with first things first in the solution of Canada's many agricultural pro- blems. Live stock men generally will greatly appreciate the valuable im- portation of the various purebred breeding animals imported and se- lected personally by Mr. Archibald, Director or Experimental Farms. These animals are intended for dis- tribution among the viz -ions Experi- mental Farms, from which farmers may replenish their breeding stock to advantage as desired. A question of mere than astral sig- nificance to Western Agriculture was the three-year Canadian National Railway Construction programme, passed by the House of Commons and approved of by the country gen- erally, more particularly by the West. imagine with what conster- nation it was learned that the irre- sponsible Senate stepped in and thwarted the will of the people by giving this railway programme the six months' hoist. As if to add in- sult to injury, some Western Senat- ors have the audacity to say (as per Senate Debates) that the Gov- ernment so enacted this legislation that it would court the disaster that befell it. How false this statement is, nobody knows better than the ones who make it.

Right after the kick-off play for a moment remained in centre, field but the home men immediately forced matters. Knox at centre be- ing conspieuous*in•opening attacks he and the inside men co-operating nice- ly The Kitchener defense, however, kept them out and they did not get near the goal for five minutes when they had their first shot. The Rangers forward line retaliated and came down to the Brucefield goal several times, their chances being more dan- gerous for the defense than those at the other end. Brucefield supporters being relieved repeatedly when the shots went wild. The whole forward line of the home team then took a hand and several close calls came at the Rangers' goal, among them being several dangerous corner kicks. As the period grew shorter play became more strenuous with .the Rangers having slightly the better of it and it being evident that the home team af- ter not making use of the .opportuni- ties they had, would not capture the round or tie it. The period ended with play in centre field. Owing to the dark night the intermission was short. Play in the opening stages of the second period for three minutes centered around the Rangers left half line and the Brucefield right wing men, pep being lacking. Then Mc- Iver at right half sent down a low hal,, along the line which was al- most out when about twenty feet from the corner post, but Aikenhead at outside right just saved it. He with McCartney at inside right, man- oeuvred the ball, the latter kicking high to the right goal post, Knox run- ning in and scoring with his head. The unexpectedness of the tally caus- ed both teams to play real soccer af- ter the kick off, the ball however stayed in the same place along the Ranger left half line for several min- utes with the rest of the teams hav- ing little to do. Finally the Rangers got going and carried the ball re- peatedly to the Brucefield back line but they did not get near enough to tally. Then came the critical stage of the period, the home team making a final drive of beautiful chances one of them looking like a sure counter when two blue shirts went down and there was nobndy'ln front of them except the goal keeper, the shot which war from fifteen feet out going high over the har. From then on the Ranger defense kept the play well out and the Ranger forwards were up at the other end repeatedly. The home defense, however, also was on the spot and there was no danger for the goal except on the occasions of a number of corner kicks. Darkness also was interfering with the game and a counter by either was unlikely and the enthusiasm of the crowd and teams died out." The line up: Bruce - field -Goal, Stewart; R. Back, J.
