A. Dunning, Minister of Finance, will •deliver in Parliament when it re- Burnes after the Easter recess will be the most important in years. There are intimations that it will embrace 400 items and perhaps more. Political, industrial( and commercial concerns are highly interested. Bring- ing down the budget will be the oc- casion not only for announcing any tariff changes but also for a financial review, and' far any alterations in the taxation structure. It is believed that the sales tax, a partial survival of the war, will either be abolished or cut in half. In income taxation no change,., is, indicated. A. financial re - view will probably disclose a surplus .of about fifty millions over and above expenses. But the main thing will be the tariff changes. Two infiuence,s operate to make that fairly extensive. One consists in an elaborate investigation made by the Tariff Boards looking to changes in various schedules, while 'there will al- so be the influence of the United States tariff. Conflicting opinions ob- tain as tol what to do about that. In the United States press is much de- nunciation of the senate's tariff re- vision as an indication of "protec- tionist greed," and many here urge that Canada, in place of emulating that course, should steer clear of it. The dominant idea probably is that ', the tariff here should be elevated on certain commodities extensively im- ported from the United States, even if it is desirable to correspondingly lower the tariff against Great Bri- tain. It is a>very Targe question, in- timately bound up with commerce, in- dustry, politics and sectional inter- ests. The exact decision is not yet arrived at, but it won't be long now. Eight-hour Day Looms. Of reforms being instituted by the se Dominion Government—and some of which are taken to indicate a general election—one of the most important is the establishment in Canada of an eight-hour day on all government works, whether being done directly by the government itself or by contrac- tors. For some time there has been such an agitation, which is popular with labor, but not with employers, generally.. Contractors represent that confu- sion may arise from having two •jobs in the one place, one for the Domin- ion government with the men re- stricted to eight hours, andanother for a private concern, where the schedule calls for nine hours. The government, however, feels that the step taken is a worthy one, and also that it is obligated to take it by its adherence to the Treaty of Versailles where the eight hour principle was laid down. sJ rl Wheat a Problem. The greatest economic question in Canada continues to be the sale of last year's wheat crop, purposely withheld from the market by the Western Wlheat Pool because the price offered in Europe was not to their liking. In the situation are found one or two discouraging factors, one or two rays of hope, and a great many elements of uncertainty. One the dark side is the fact that an unprecedented percentage of the 1929 crop is still .in the bites and stor- age elevators of the Dominion with' a surprising sluggishness of flow to Europe, even at this late date. On the bright side, is the abnormally low stocks on hand in Europe, which at present is living from hand to mouth, aware that the grain is waiting on this side of the Atlantic and able to call it forth whenever necessary. The high quality of the Canadian grain means that when purchases do start, a good share of the European mar- ket will be secured. If the plan works out all right, the farmers, without being exactly on velvet, will be entirely satisfied but if their, strategy fail and they are left with last year's crop on top of the current year's, the situation will be , bad for them and will have a very adverse reaction upon every line of Canadian business. U. S. Canada's Big Customer. Canada buys a lot of goods from the United States—over nine millions a year—(while. it sells only half of that quantity to the Republic. Never- theless, the United States imports more from Canada than from any other country in the world. This is disclosed in figures just published showing that Americans, imports from • Canada in the last fiscal year were valued at $489,303,211, or slightly more than 1.1 per cent. of the total imports of the States from all sources. How Canada continues to be the best customer of the. •States is indicated by the fact that purchases there last year amounted to $948,501,227, which represent 18 per cent. of the total American. exports to all countries. To Regulate Immigration. Of 148,712 people who migrated to , Canada in the eleven monthseen ded.,on February 28th, 28,517 catifeM`t lrl the United States; 60,644 frons Great Bri- tain • and 59,551 from other countries. The movement is considered to be a healthy average, being neither exces- sive nor below the desired mark. This year the new policy will go into ef-; fest, and with reasonableprospects that sources of •. dissatisflaction .will 'be extinguished.

When these wants' are made known! the Dominionorganization will go out andi get the people. The new plan will effectively meet the claims, so often exaggerated for purely po- litical effect, that the ' Dominion is dumping on parts of the country im- migrants of a quality not desirable; and that it is adding to the municipal and provincial ,preblemis of unemploy- ment. The provinces happily are wil- ling to accept the responsibility, and the operation of this new plan, involv- ing as it does the abandonment o: assisted immigration, should result in removing a past cause of much politi- cal agitation. CHATS ON EDUCATION (At the Principal's Desk) There is an old saying that practice makes perfect. Another sage has added the rider that bad practice makes perfectly (bad. Teachers have long recognized this truth in connection with the acquire- ment of useable knowledge, such as the alphabet and the multiplication table. Everyone knows that much practice„ miuch repetition is neces- sary. In recent years the truth has be- gun to dawn upon educationalists gen- erally that the same truth applies to the development of emotional and moral qualities as well. The moral qualities are emotional qualities, and we who would as .edu- cationalists or as parents develop character must consider the practice we are giving the feelings of our pupils. Too often the emotional .practice has been the opposite from that which wa's intended. I knew an earnest Christian father who was naturally anxious that his boys should grow up to be church- goers. Unconsciously, by his own consci- entious church attendance, and by his genuine interest in the church ser - .vices and sermons, he did inspire them with some church interest. But consciously he attempted to teach them to go to church by com- pelling them to go to church. Each time one of those boys was compelled to go to church against his will he was practising, not church going, not real obedience, but resentment against paternal authority and against the church itself. . One of those boys declared in later life that the first time he was away from home he decided to remain away from church until he recovered. from the resentment developed from these many experiences of compulsion. He was unable to enjoy a church service until he had remained away long enough to overcome the feeling that he was compelled to go. In his case a few weeks were sufficient, but in the case of other boys I have known the result of early compulsion • has been to make them total abstainers from church going for life. The important thing in the practice that perfects character is not the out- ward action but the inward feeling. Order and quiet may be maintain- ed in the class roonv or in the home by methods of severity. •If so, the feelings practiced' day by day are feelings of fear, anger, resentment against established authority. Such practice does not build a Iaw-abiding character. • For two centuries order and obedi- erieesto "authority was maintained in Y *an•'ce through severity and fear. Then came the terror. For two cen- turies order was maintained in Rus- sia in the .sarme way. Then came Bolshevism. And• the end is not yet, for the hatreds developed through two centuries of practice are not unlearn- ed in two decades. An experienced school inspector has observed that extreme quiet in a class room when the inspector comes in may not at all indicate that the teacher is a good class manager. It may merely mean that a troublesome pupil has just been for the moment "settled" and the class terrorized. The highest achievement in discip- line in school, at home or in business, is that which is based upon confidence, respect, and good -will towards those in authority and other co-workers. The practice of good -will and respect builds character. NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Spring Fairs.

A Remarkable Crop. In 1929 James McKitrich, of Or- ton, in Wellington County, harvested 511 bags of marketaible potatoes off two acres. The field in which this re- markable crop was grown was of a light loam. The potatoes which were of the Green Mountain variety, were planted on June 10th, after a sweet clover pasture had been turned under in the fall along with about ten tons of barnyard manure per acre. An application of 900 pounds to the acre of 4-8---10 commercial fertilizer was made after planting. The crop was sprayed for late blight every two weeks after the 'potatoes were up six or eight inches. DUBLIN Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. J.
