FROM THE DOMINION
D NI N
CAPITAL
One of the rather curious nocessi-
ties of the constitution is that a
member of parliament, when appoint-
ed to a cabinet portfolio, though al-
ready duly elected, must go back to
his electoral district and bereturned
anew. As a rule, however, when a
change of government occurs, this is
a formality, opposition not being im-
posed and the newBennettcabinet
cab n t
has benefitted by this custom. The
fifteen members who needed re-elec-
tion have secured it. Thus, they are
now fully installed and also
ready to
meet parliament when it foregathers
here next week. The session will not
be long, but it will be interesting.
The popular vote will not be tabu.
lated for a month or more, Some-
thing like 3,500,000• people exercised
their franchise, and in soma •pl5ces
the proportion of the whole eligible
vote was inordinately large. The per-
centage accorded to the Conservative
party will probably be at least 55 per
cent. They rolled up Iarge plurali-
ties in many urban seats, notably in
Toronto and Montreal, but in a few
cases, the result was so close as not
to be finally known till the ballots
were recounted. Whatever disappoint-
ments occurred •to the Liberal party,
the general view is that the decisive
character of the contest is a good
thing for the country. It ensures
stability of government. It also pro-
vides no doubt or excuse for the un-
successful party if it seeks to evade
its voluminous undertakings.
Will Seek New Treaty.
A chicken or two already are home
to roost. In the election campaign the
Conservatives stressed nothing more
strongly than an attack upon the im-
portation of New Zealand butter. No
single factor contributed more to
their success. The duty, which had
been reduced to a cent a pound, goes
back to four cents. Whereupon New
Zealand says that two can play at the
game. Canada, through importing
twelve millions worth a year from
New Zealand, has been sending sev-
enteen 'billions worth of manufactures
down there—mostly automobiles. Now
the New Zealand government has
cancelled the preferential tariff to
this great Canadian commodity. This
country is put in the same class as all
others. A large noise is the conse-
quential result in Windsor, Walker-
ville, Ottawa and other centers of the
motor industry. A new treaty will be
sought, but as New Zealand has little
to export but butter, and as the Con-
servatives are pledged to put a duty
on it, Canadian exports are likely to
have a marked decline unless the sis-
ter dominion is willing to do all the
buying and none of the selling.
Hanford MacNider, United States
minister to Canada, is here entering
upon his functions, the first of which
is to see what is to be doing about
the St. Lawrence waterway. President
Hoover, apparently, wants to get on
with it. The new government here is
pledged to do the same and the On-
tario government, which sought to
pick a quarrel with the King minis-
tery over water powers, will quietly
agree about that with its political rel-
atives at Ottawa. The difflcuiiy will
be as to the how of the undertaking.
The international board of engineers
recommend sensibly, the joint de-
velopment of the international stretch,
but the Conservative platform calls
for a waterway altogether in Canada.
The United States would have to con-
sent to this because the river lefvela
of the international stretch will be
disturbed, whatever the route which
is followed. 'Moreover, if the govern-
ment builds, at an added cost of
probably $50,000,000 an all Canadian
waterway it must for all time, throw
it open free to the United States as a
matter of perpetual treaty right.
Under these circumstances it will take
much argument to show why tl e new
government should saddle the Dom-
inion with the whole cost. In the last
showdown it may be disclosed that
this all -Canadian stuff was only pre-
election talk designed to show the
Conservatives as utterly free from
American influence or co-operation to
the other position, they are fond of
assigning their Liberal opponents. In
one way or the other, the waterway
must come and presumably, soon.
Grain Growers Unhappy.
Western conditions are not pictured
in a happy light when the wheat crop
price is considered. Grain growers
have always commanded an advance
of one dollar a bushel to finance the
harvest and then, when the sale was
concluded, an extra 50 or 75 cents a
bushel was coming. Last year the
adMance was a dollar when the price
was $.50, but the wheat pool held its
grain for more money. The market
crashed and some of the initial dollar
may even have to be paid back. This
year the initial advance is only 60
cents, whereat there is much futile
criticism. The banks would not put

A car of Peaches is expected
within the next two weeks.

up more under the circumstances un-
less guaranteed by the government,
which said that it was no more in the
business ofguaranteeing wheat prices
than the price of potatoes. Western
farmers are divided between rending
the pool and attempting to make
every grower go into it compulsorily
' A.n interesting experiment in ad-
vancing the purchasing power of the
country is suggested to the govern-
ment by the Employment Service
Council and likelybe to adopted, at
P
least in degree. As a means of help
ing unemployment, in the straits of
which two hundred thousand are Can-
adians
an-
a iansinvolved, the idea is to bu
d n y
enough for two or three years ahead
thus absorbing so much more unem-
ployment and.keeping business going
till the recession adjusts itself.
HURON PRESBYTERIAL
There was a large attendance at the
annual conference of the Huron Pres-
byterial Women's Missionary So-
ciety held in Caven Church, Exeter,
on Tuesday, September 9th. The
morning session which opened at 10
a.m. was conducted by members of
the Blyth Auxiliary. The delegates
were warmly welcomed by Mrs, G.
Atkinson, of Exeter. The president,
Mrs. J, C. Greig, in an earnest ad-
dress, stressed the need of individual
effort and individual sacrifice
The minutes and secretary's report
were read by Mrs. George McDonald
of Goderich, after which the General
Interests Secretary of the Ontario
Provincial, Mrs. F. R. Redditt, made
a few remarks.
The Presbyterial secretaries gave a
brief ;summary of the work in their
departments during the past six
months and the roll call of auxiliaries,
Young Women's auxiliaries, Canad-
ian Girls in Training groups and
Mission Bands was responded to by
representatives from each society.
Very interesting reports of the On-
tario Provincial meeting were given
by the Presbyterial delegate:,, Mrs
Herrington, of Blyth, and Miss Jeck-
ell, of Exeter. Greetings from the
Huron Presbytery were convey by
Rev. C. Dougan, of Clinton, who dos-
ed the meeting with prayer. The
ladies then repaired to the basement
where the delegates and members of
Presbytery enjoyed a luncheon pro-
vided by the Exeter ladies.
The afternoon session was in charge
of the Barbara Kirkman Young Wo-
men's Auxiliary of Seaforth.
Miss Lily 'McArthur, port worker
at Quebec, gave an informing ac-
count of what the Presbyterian
Church is doing for the new Canad-
ians and Mrs. Gauld, of Formosa, an
interesting talk on the work there.
Mr. Kenneth Stanbury, of Exeter,
contributed a pleasing violin selection
and Mrs. James Stewart of Seaforth,
a well rendered vocal solo She
was accompanied by Mrs. M. R.
Rennie, of Seaforth. A well-
prepared report of our summer
school at Kintail was read by Mrs
Irving B. Kaine, of Seaforth. A pleas-
ing feature of the occasion was the
presentation by Mrs. H. C. Dunlop, of
Goderich, of a life membership pin to
Miss H. Isabel Graham, of Seaforth,
in recognition of her services as pres-
byterial secretary for a number of
years. The offering was dedicated in
prayer by Mrs. J. Fraser, of Bay-
field. Mrs. F. R. Redditt, of Gode-
rich, closed the meerting with prayer,
A hearty vote of thanks was tender-
ed the speakers and all who assisted
in the program, also to the Exeter
ladies for their hospitality.
NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER
Given Provincial Award.
Joseph E. Brethour, Burford far-
mer, was last week presented with
the first provincial $1,000 award by
Premier Ferguson in recognition of
his contributions to agriculture, par-
ticularly respecting the improvement
in bacon hogs which raised the stan-
dard in the whole bacon indesery in
the province. Premier Ferguson, in
making the presentation explained
that it was just as a recognition not
as an inducement, to indicate to the
farmers of Ontario that the people as
a whole were vitally- interested in
their progress.
- Bean Growers Hit.
Despite an increase of approximate-
ly 20 per cent. in the acreage of beans
in Elgin County over last year. the
yield will show a decided drop because
of the long 'drought which lasted in
that district for over six weeks. F.
Thomas, district representative, states
that the crop will only be fair, while
others interested in the growing of
beans for commercial ,purposes are
still more pessimistic. The effect of
the lack of rain is clearly evident ie
many fields in the shrunken bean, the
poorly filled pod and the vines that
are only partially podded. Elgin has
between 8000 and 10000 acres in 'beans
this year. It is unlikely that the
yield per acre will be much ever 12
bushels, whereas yields of 25 bushels
to the acre have not been uncommon
in that district in the past.
Sow Thistle Conference,
With more than fifty in attendance
including farmers from three counties,
agricultural representatives and vari-
ous officials of the department, a
meeting in the interest of sow thistle
control was held on the farm of W.
D. IZyelop, near 'Stratford, where ex-
periments with .regard to the weed
have been conducted on four plots.
Last year the entire field was a grain
crop yielding about fifteen bushels to
the acre and much infested with saw
thistle. On each of the four plots a
portion was left unfertilized while an-
SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1930.
other part received an application of
400 pounds per acre. In every case
the fertilizer checked the sow thistle.
Several other experiments which had
been conducted were discussed at
length by J. A. Carroll, director of
the crops and markets branch, who ex-
plained the different methods carried
on.
Fruit -Packing Plants Planned.
An experimental fruit -packing plant
will be established in the vicinity of
Newcastle at, an early date, according
to a recent announcement by Mr. J.
B. Fairbairn,
DeputyMinister. "The
idet we have in min," he said, "is to
get uniformity and tightness of our
overseas fruit shipments. If the New-
castle plant proves successful we will
establish other plants throughout On-
tario. Arrangements are being made
so that growers may have packing
facilities' located in their districts by
applying to the Government." Th e
Newcastle district was chosea chiefly
because the apple industry there has
been declining and because the depart-
ment has been able to take over, re-
fit and place under proper supervision
a warehouse owned by growers there.
The growers will be charged for the
,actual cost of packings but not for
supervision nor for commission on ov-
erseas sales, which will be handled by
Andrew Fulton, the Government's
fruit marketing representative in Bri-
tain.
New Plan Launched.
The re-establishment of the hog -
raising industry in Eastern Canada
by the liberal utilization of coarse
grains grown in Western Canada,
thus also assisting the West to solve
the problem of marketing its crops,
is the underlying idea of plans now
in the course of development by the
Western wheat wools, the Eastern live
stock interests and the packers, with
the aid of the Ontario and Dominion
Departments of Agriculture, and the
0. A. C. A representative cf the
grain growers has already been visit-
ing various parts of Ontario with a
view to organizing for the distribu-
tion to live stock breeders of coarse
grain feeds of which there is now a
large surplus tied up in terminal ele-
vators. In this way it is hoped that
Canada may recapture her former fine
export market for bacon, hams and
other pork products. At the same
time a domestic market will be pro-
vided for barley, oats and lower grade
wheat produced in Western Canada,
thus easing the marketing problem of
the West at times when grains are
slow to move.
According to the plan, these grains
will be made available at any point
in Ontario at equalized prices and an
assurance given the stock -raiser that
he. will be able to obtain such grain
every month in the year at a compara-
tive level with world pieces. It is
hoped that new stimulus will be giv-
en the live stock industry by the in-
auguration of this program.

room of Constance United Church by
the members and adherents. While
the occasion was one of regret, as
they had met to say farewell to one
of the old and much valued members.
After serving lunch by the ladies,
Rev. Mr. Johnson called on Mr. Thos
Livingston to come forward, but be-
fore he could get started, Mr. Roger-
son came forward and said that he
had something to say first. Mr,
Rogerson read the address and Mr_
Bernard Nott made the presentation.
of a Bible and fountain pen in the
interests of the Adult Bible Class.
The following is the address: "Dear
Mr. Livingston: This will not be
the sort of address which one has il-
luminated and framed and used as a
mural decoration, along with college
pictures and bowling trophies, firstly,.
because genius would not burn when
I was trying to write it; secondly, be-
cause I find it hard to be conventional.
But the members of the Adult Bible
Class did not want you to leave with-
out letting you know how sorry they
were to see you go. Though your
plans for the present may sever your
associations with us in the class in
the Sabbath hour, yet your presence
and interest in the work in the Adult
Bible Class, which were so cneerfully
given during the years that are gone,
will not soon be forgotten. Now as
a mark of our appreciation of those
kindly and helpful associations, we
ask you to accept these gifts and we
pray that the coming years may add
their benefit to you and yours in
health and prosperity. We also trust
that as you face the problems of life
in the future you may find in the
word both council and guidance. Sign-
ed on behalfhalf of the members of
the Adult Bible Class; Mrs. R. H.
Rogerson, teacher; Mr. Wm. HuaiI',
Secretary." Mr. Livingston, 'although.
taken by surprise, spoke at some
length on how much he had enjoyed
the fellowship, both in the church and
ir, class and admonished them to stand
by the church. that even though they
were losing, the financial part war
not all. The Ladies' Aid then made
a presentation of a raw fruit dish to
Miss Susie Livingston. The address
was read by Mrs, J, J. Rugill and the
presentation was made by Mrs. C. Mc-
Gregor. The following is the ad-
dress: "Dear Miss Livingston:—
We, the members and adherents
of Constance United Church, have
met together this evening to
show our respect and esteem for you.
It was with feeling of regret that we
learned that our days of intimate as-
sociation were soon to terminate. We
will certainly miss you in our church
circle for your many services, your
kindness and your geniality which.
always made it a pleasure to meet
with you. While we deeply regret
your removal from our midst, we
trust that you may be able to renew
old acquaintances here and that the
distance between us will not be
great. As a slight token of our love,
we ask you to accept this gift. In
parting we can but trust that Ile
who holds our every destiny, may, in
this life, bestow God's richest bless-
ing and later an abundant entrance
into that land beyond the veil of
time. Signed. on behalf of the mem-
bers and adherents of Constance
United Church." Mies iivinghtore
