Mr. Denton Massey
On Trade Balances
(By R. J. Deachanan)
Ws- time someone told the whole
truth about the balance of trade, Mr;
Denton Massey has been telling a
half truth—a scant half at that.-
Conservative policies do not lead to
favorable balances of trade. If they
did, mercantile trade balances would
be More favorable under Conserva-
tive rule—less favorable under Lib-
eral rule. Such is not the case. The
highest favorable balances have been
in years of Liberal rule—the most
unfavorable under Conservative ad-
ministration.
Leaving out the years 1915 to 192Q;
•war years and post-war years, when

the war and its after effects, there
were, :between 1880 and 1935, twen-
ty-four favorable trade balances ten
under Conservative rule, fourteen un-
der the Liberals.
Adverse Balances Under Toryisih
The heaviest adverse balances were
immediately following the election of
1911, a campaign in' which smaller
adverse balances under the previous
Liberal administration featured the
discussion from Tory platforms. The
.figures follow: (The figures here
given are for fiscal years).
1912 $214,688,000
1913 294,138,000
1914 163,756,000
These years (1912-1914 were the
high water marks, in unfavorable mer-
cantile trade balances. They were
under Conservative rule.
Favorable Balance Under Liberalism
From 1923 to 1929 Liberal favor-
able•'balances were as follows;
1923 $142,716,000
1924 165,396,000
1925 284,429,000
1926 401,371,000
1927 236,6$0,000
1928 141,641,000
1929 123,216,000
$1,495,449,000
In 1930 under, Liberal administra-
tion there was an adverse balance of
$03,,3&5,000. Deducting this from
the above total we have a net favor-
able balance for the years given of
$1.392,000,000. The total of all fay -
arable balances under Conservative
rule from 1880 to 1935 amounts to
just $435,363,000, or less than one-
third of the net favorable balance un-
der eight full years of the adminis-
tration of Mr. Kling.
Of course Mr. Massey's whole as-
sumption in regard to the balande Of
trade is erroneous. Neither a fav-
o"able nor an unfavorable balance
indicates national prosperity. The
nation has been prosperous under
both conditions. The whole problem
is this: Mr. Massey intends to imply
that the Conservative policy of rais-
ing tariffs and thereby increasing
CIieSNAPSI-IOT GUIL
Prove Your Angling Ability
XKu
' TODAY'S Snapshot Guild is direct-
' ed to all wives, husbands, daugh-
:ters and sons who follow the great
,outdoor sport of fishing. What has
fishing to do with amateur photog-
raphy? Just this. The Chicago Izaak
Walton League, according to news
dispatches, has included In its cur-
riculum, in the fishing school con-
ducted in Wisconsin, `a. "course of
truthfulness." War has been de-
clared against the angler who per-
sists in telling about the "big one
that got away." The law of the Izaak
Walton League of Chicago regarding
this phase of the art of fishing is
very brief and to the point. Here it
is. "Get your flsh,'take his picture or
keep quiet."
No one in particular is being ac-
cused of telling little white lies
about the "whopper" that got away
but Chicago's Izaak Walton League
law should be recognized through-
out the world. The ofd adage about
the cake might be revised to—"You
can have your fish and eat it too"
for although the fish may end its
days in frying pan or broiler, a
picture of it will live forever.
There is one thing to ren'fember
in taking snapshots on fishing trips.
.Just as you use different kinds of
bait for catching various species of
fish so you must vary your methods
o2 taking snapshots under different
lighting conditions.
Suppose, for instance, that you are
deep sea fishing orr out in the middle
of a lake under the glare of a mid-
July sun. One of your party gets that
long -hoped-for jerk ont his line. If
you have one of the average folding
cameras it should be ready for ac-
tion with the diaphragm opening set
at /11 and the shutter speed set at
1/100 of a second. This setting of the
diaphragm and shutter will serve
two purposes. First—you will have
the proper exposure and second—at
1/100 of a second you will stop the
action as your lucky angler friend
pulls the fish out of the water and
into the boat.
If you have a box type camera use
the second stop opening. In snap-
ping the picture with this type of
camera you will get the best results
if you wait until the fish is safely in
the boat and then snap the picture
after the catch and when your sub-
ject is not in motion.
Let me caution you, however,
against a common error. Don't for-
get to set your camera for distance
if it is of the focusing type. If you
have a fixed focus camera don't get
closer to your subject than about
eight feet unless you use a portrait
attachment. •
Now—suppose you are fishing on
a river where the trees obstruct
much 'of the light. Snapshooting
under such conditions requires a dif-
ferent technic. Unless you have a
camera with an 1.6.3 lelis or faster
you had better forget about fast ac-
tion pictures and confine your ef-
forts to -taking your subjects when
not in rapid motion.
If you have a box type camera you
should open it to a large stop and
with the average folding camera
open the diaphragm to f:8 or 1.11 and
set the shutter speed at 1/25 of a sec-
ond. And remember—"Get your fish,
take his picture or keep quiet"

Quality in Binder Twi'.
The binder twine now being .used
to harvest Canada's grain crop comes
from a number of sources. Cana-
dian made twine supplies a large
part of the domestic demand and con-
siderable quantities made in the Do-
minion are exported to other coun-
tries, but, binder twine from several
other countries has come to share
the Canadian market. The greater
part of the importations into Canada
are from Great Britain, Deland and
Holland and in recent years small
quantities have also been received
from Belgium and Germany.
The law requires that each ball'of
binder twine sold in CanadIa shall
bear a label stating the number .of
feet of twine per pound in the ball,
whether 500, 550, 600 or 650 feet.
This is a case where quantity is the
estimate of quality. Inspectors' of
the Dominion Departme'n of Agri-
culture Seed Branoh inspect Canadian
made twine at the places of manufac-
ture and imported .twine at storage
warehouses, and .by'a system of mea-
surement and calculation determine
the actual number of feet per pound
as compared with the length guaran-
teed. '
Results of binder twine 'inspection
in recent years have shown a steady
improvement in both Canadian and
imported twine used in Canada. More
than three hundred samples *ere
taken of the twine distributed in Can-
ada in 1934, the tests of which show-
ed that 47 per cent. had actually more
twine to the pound than was guar-
anteed and 14 per cent, had exactly
the length guaranteed. The remaind-
er of the samples had some shortage
which was inconsiderable in most
cases and only 2.5 per cent. had a
shortage of over 5 per cent., which is
the lhnit of shortage allowed by law.
Tensile strength in bind r wine is
not subject to legal cOntroo.Inspec-
tors, however, give some attention to
this factor but it is now seldom that
a sample is found in which the ten-
sile strength is too weak for ordin-
ary grain binding.
Our Edible Mushrooms
Many different kinds of edible
mushrooms are found in 'Canada, to-
gether with a great number of worth-
less ones, and a few deadly poison-
ous toadstools. It is impossible for
the average person to learn to know
them all, but it is possible to learn
to recognize the best edible species
and true harmful and deadly poison -
MIS kinds. It is no more difficult
than learning the different kinds of
flowers in a garden, although it is
much more difficult to get the infor-
mation.. The best source of informa-
tion in :Canada is the recently plub-
lished book from the Division of Bot-
any, on °i14nshraoins and Toadstools,"

'Mushrooms to point out the different
kinds, or, information can be obtain-
ed from the Dominion Laboratories
of" Plant Pathology in the different
provinces.
The different kinds of edible mush-
rooms are 'so numerous'that it is not
possible to mention more than a few
favourites. The best known are the
field mushroom and its large cousin,
the horse mushroom, both of which
are "rpink" underneath and grow in
the open fields. If these arg the only
,mushrooms known by a person, they
should not be collected from the edge
of woods or near trees The fairy
ring mushroom is found on lawns
during the summer and the shaggy
inane, on lawns in the fall. The
smooth lepiota grows in cultivated
fields and orchards, looks like a
mushroom on top but is white under-
neath, and resembles the death angel.
In the spruce and fir woods, the yel-
low chanterelle and the edible boletus
are found throughout the suminer.
Each kind has to be known and dis-
tingiushed from,' some worthless or
harmful species that resembles it in
some respect.
In gathering mushrooms to eat, the
great danger is in picking a deadly
toadstool. They are all too common
and very few people know them well.
The commonest deadly species is the
fly agaric which is so named because
it can be used as a fly poison. The
most dangerous kind is the death an-
gel, so named because of its stately
appearance and pure white color. Na
person should ever gather cLdible
mrushreorns in the woods without
knowing this species for there is no
known antidote for its slow acting
poison.

Canadian Cattle Export
There•were 10,694 cattle and 3,355
calves exported to the United States
from 'Canada during the month of
June, 1935, as compared with 552 cat
tie and 33 alves during June, 1934.
according to offiri-afllgures issued
by the Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics. The total exports for the month
of May, 1935, were higher, namely
19,326 cattle and 1,427 calves. For
the first six months of 1935, the total
rattle exports from Canada to the
United States amounted to 70,665 cat-
tle and 6,560 calves. as compared
with 2,416 cattle and 80 calves for
the corresponding six moath,s of 1934.
There were only 54 cattle exported
from Canada to Great 14itain during
June, 1935, as against 5;993 head in
June, 1934. During the months of
May, 193,, no Canadian cattle were
exported to Great Britain.
Fruits and Vegetables for
Health
The human body. needs minerals
and vitamins the great natural ele-
ments for health and growth which
are supplied by fruits and vegetables.
Minerals such as iron, calcium,
phosphorus, iodine and sulphur have
.been called the balance wheels of the
human machine as they neutralize
the acid condition of the blood. They
are found•in .proper combinations and
in varying amounts as nature pro-
vides' their in vegetables ',and fruits.
Spinach, celery and cauliflower are
richer in calcium.. Strawberries, tom-
atoes, spinach, cabbage and carrots
are good sources of iron. Lettuce and
onions provide appreciable amounts
of phosphorus.
Vitamins, essential to health, are
necessary for growth and protection
from disease. Different vitamins are
found in various foods. Beans, car-
rots, apples, tomatoes, spinach, are
valuable sources of vitamin A. Cab-
bage, lettuce, green peas, spinach and
tomatoes give :vitamins B and G.
Apples, cabbage, „peas, strawberries
and tomatoes provide vitamin C.
Starch 'and sugar are found in pot-
atoes, parsnips, beets, carrots, corn,
peas and beans, and supply fuel for
,body heat and energy. Legumes
(ripe peas, beans and lentils) con-
tain nitrogen and are used for tissue
building.
The efficient home-maker.knowssthe
proper food to serve her family. She
also cooks and serves that farod so
that it will be eaten, enjoyed and
probably- more wanted. Fruits pres-
ent little difficulty in their prepara-
tion. Most of them are delicious
when served raw and the ooking is
simple. Cook with a sfdall amount
of water for as short a tinie as will
make the fruit tender. Add sugar
after the fruit is cooked. This pre-
serves natural colors and flavors and
less sugar is required for sweetening.
Serve vegetables in their raw state,
when passible and thus provide the
needed nutrients as nature supplies
them.
Most vegetables are best cooked in
the smallest amount of water which
can he used without burning the veg-
etable's or they may be steamed. Have
the water boiling when the vegetables
aro put in the foot.. Keep it boiling,
not simmering and keep closely cov-
ei ed. Salt added during cooking pre-
serves color. Baking without the ad-
dition of water is a good method 4
-cure cases but is not practical for
many vegetables. To prevent strong
flavors as those of the cabbage fam-
ily or onions, use a large 'amount of
water in an uncovered vessel and boil
for the shortest time for 'tenderness.
Variety in serving from day to day
aids in appealing to the appetite, In
Canada most of these products in
their fresh state are obtainable only
during part of the year, so Means of
storing them, which will assure an,
abundant supply throughout all sea-
sons, must be considered.
Home canning often answers this
problem. The open kettle method is
common but is quite unsatisfi htory.
To preserve color, flavor and mineral
content and lessen the destruction of
vitamins, all fruits and 'vegetables
are best cooked or sterilized in the
jar' in which they are to be stored.
This method of home -canning is com-
paratively sirple. Good results de-
pend on using approved methods and
following directions explicitly. Vege-
tables and fruits are provided for
every meal in the year and they are
the be'st tonics.
