Early Start
An
An extra early start in blooming
can be obtained by using well -start-
ed plants either out of one's own
greenhouse or hotbed or purchased
in flats from ,eedsmen or nursery-
men. These plants are just about
. ready to bloom when bought. Tedeed
A few perennials like the dwarf
Phlox and Iris help out with early
bloom. These will come along just a
few weeks after the tulips and the

There is No Rush
The beginner is inclined to rush the
season. It will not hurt to plant peas,
spilrach. lettuce or radish just as soon
as the ground is ready. • For the med-
ium hardy type of plant, however,
there i$ no advantage whatever in
sowing too soon. There is little
growth .in any case until the soil real-
ly turas warm.
Gardeners are advised to divide
their vegetable seed into at least three
parts, sowing a third as soon as wea-
ther permits, a third a little later, and
the balance at the very tail -end of
the pleating season. .In this way if
frost does cut down the first batch
there will be more plants coming ou.
and the season will be lengthened by
the last part of the garden sown. '
* * *
This is Essential
It • is impossible to overemphasize
the importance of good seed. Other
factors may, be beyond 'control, but
the gardener has absolute check over
this foundation. Weather. soil and lo-
cation may be ideal but without good
seed, specially selected to suit Cana-
dian conditions, the garden is going
to be' a failure.

WHEAT POLICY EMBRACES
HUGE REQUIREMENTS.
Huge amounts of clover and.. grass
seed are involved in the new Govern-
ment wheat policy. 'While the plan
primarily concerns wheat, the switch
from that crop to some other map
revolutionize Canadian agriculture and
in doing so 'have a profound in4iu-
ence on the seed trade and seed sup-
ply of this country, a bulletin of the
Canadian Seed Trade points out.
Under the ,wheat policy the_Domin-
ion Government hopes to 'see some
nine million acres of former wheat
acreage diverted to summer fallow or
seeded down. For the latter purpose
a bones of $2.00 per acre is offered
this Spring, and another $2.00 per
acre paid in the Spring of 1942 if the
land contlihues in grass or clover. It
is expected that thousands of West-
ern farmers will take advantage
of
this offer, and at least a million acres,
poesi'bly more, will be' seeded down,.
Such a procedure would require

Sugar—that sweet, cryhstaline com-
pound which everyone consumes, for
the making' of bodily heat and ener-
gy—is to he taxed an extra cent per
pound. This' fact and the criticism
provided, as well as the explanation,
were one of the main themes of dis-
cussion in the House today. In the
discussion Mr. Hansen, Conservative
leader, who brought upthe question,
cited the successive increases and
wanted to know the justification for
s'uoh increase's. 'i`he Minister of Fin-
ance indicated that there were de-
veloping conditions over the week-
end which justified the action. Large
buying and the possibility of large
profits was apparent; therefore the
war -time prices' board spiked this
movement 'immediately.
Mr. McLarty, who has to do with
this board, explained how this was
done. He recited the fact that last
May when prices of .raw sugar were
going to advance overnight, the sugar
controller bought alit all in the hands
of the refiners and sold itg/h,ick in the
morning. This action d'i<verted the
profits to the treasury, rather than to
the advantage of the appreciation in
price.
Mr. Ilsley explained why increases
had taken place. It appears that all
of the Dominions have agreed to hav-
ing the British sugar controller han-
dle the situation in connection with
the procuring of the raw sugar for
each Dominion. This was done to in -
sere a proper supply and also a pro-
per price.
In the' present case the increase is
for additional revenue. The present
revenue is some $11,000,000 per year.
This Wee cent should! produce 21
-million: The department was watch-
ing closely the'movement of this'com-
niodity and took action so as not to
have a repetition .of what• took place
under Hon. Mr. Rhodes during Mr.
Bennett's term of office. It was a
smart move on the part of the board
and among members it was Commend-
ed. •
Mr. Ralston gave 'further informa-
tien regarding the production of guns
and other material. Much of this in-
formation is being given against the
wishes of the U. K. Government and
it seems too bad that the opposition,
'is so persistent in their demands for
this information, knowing this to be
the fact.
Some ' members, of the opposition
very skeptical of the action of the
government in regard to Canadians
vasitin•g the U.S.A. and their/ inaBility
to. secure funds for these purposes.
However, the .Minister of Finance
pointed out that Canada is saving be -
huge amounts of clover and grass
seed this spring. Some idea of these
requirements will be gained from the
fact that it requires a minimum of
12 pounds of alfalfa or sweet clover
to seed one acre. If only a million
of the -nine million acres to be di -vert -
ed from wheat are•seeded to either of
these crops. then twice as much al-
falfa or sweet...efover would be re-
quired for this purpose &one than
was produced. in Western Canada last
year. As a matter of fact,. Canada
d.id"'Piot produce large crops of any of
the clovers or grasses last year that
would be suitable for Western seed-
ing: Permanent seeding • down of
much diverted wheat acreage, there-
fore, will probably be .a -gradual, pro-
cess.
A second factor of much importance
resulting from adoption of the new
wheat policy is the ,problem of mar-
keting the crops frons: the diverted
wheat acreage: Much of the output
of this former wheat land Will ,go in-
to hogs and dairying, but there may
also be a considerable amount of seed
produced 'also. This result followed
the adoption of a somewhat similar
wheat policy in the United States a
few yeai'b ago. Of course land • seed-
ed to clover or grass in Western Can-
ada this Spring will not produce any
seed until the Summer of 1942, as
practically .els. grasses and clovers
are at least biennials. By then, of
'course, there may be peace in Eur-
ope and with it a huge demand for
clover seeds.
Undoubtedly Europe in this war, is
following the same course as adopted
in 1914-18. when large areas of seed-
ed down land were plowed up and
put into 'grain Then after peace the
process was reversed and the demand
for seed from -Canada and other coup-
tries reached a peak. For .this de-
mand, seed authorities point out, how-
ever, only the older clovers and, grass-
es wil°1 be wanted, not sweet clover,
which is the dominant seed raised in
Westernn .
Ca oda at present, anal the
kind that will likely be used for seed-
ing down much of hh,e acrage• to be
diverted' from wheat. Europe has
shown no interest in sweet clover or
in mi+btures containing •it.

Tueeday, April 1
, The time of the House, was taken
up today in passing some minor bills,
and in dealing with the aupplemen-
tary estimate of $1.3,000,400 far war
purposes. Mr. Halle% suggested that
we gine Britain 100,Q00;Q00 bushels, of
wheat. He believed this. would relieve
the wheat situation and give the mil-
lere something to do, as well as hav-
ing a by-product of hundreds of tone
of mill feed. M. Hanson can afford
to be very generous when he has no,
rrsponsibility in financing the war
pr,)bl.
'tlhe enafact is, of course, that Britain
has bought Canadian wheat and is
usieg it as it is required. That ,was
the outstanding suggestion. The Mar-
itime members on the opposition side
are continually 'demanding that more
ships be built in the Maritimes. Nova
Scotia, used to be a great sirpbuilt:-
leg province, but it was all wooden
ships. The plea of the oppos tion is:
Why cannot this be done again?
Naval Minister McDonald put the
picture in a different light. The par-
ticular need is for cargo ships of 10,-,
000 tons and wooden ships of that
sizt' are just not built.
The minister said that for the smal-
ler vessels, when tenders were Called
for, only three bidders from Nova
Scotia submitted tenders, and only
one was within the range of other
tenders and that one was $25,000.00
higher than the quotations from this
part of the country and the Pacific
Coast.
He said if they would tell hire of
any yard in Nova Scotia that could
build steel ships, he would gladly give
them a chance to bid on some con-
tracts. Hon. Mr. MacDonald gave a
good account of himself in 'the battle
of words that thio controversy stirred
up.
Mr., Douglas (C.0:F.) entered into
the argument, but he was 'reminded
by the minister that his group had
Persistently insisted that no increase
be made • in defence estimates at a
One., when they should have been
done. He chided Mr.:Doeglas also for
the stand they took in 1937,,'that no
Ca: adian soldier should fight other
than on Canadian ground. This esti-
nu,te was not through at 11 p.m.
* * *
Wednesday, April 2
With the Battle of the Atlantic un-
der way and sinkings of cargo ships
continue, an urgent appeal for in:
creased ship building , capacity is
bound to: be a live question.
Today nearly all the time in the
House was spent on' this question; but
much of it was' a repitition. of. what
hal taken place yesterday, and indeed
on many other occasions. -,
Mr. Howe said that all existing
yarda would be used to the fullest
extent possible. However, there seems
to be a bottleneck in getting, compet-
ent men to do this work.
In Peace time many of these yards
bad little or nothing to do; now there
is pressure being put on the plants -
to. increase production, but skilled
workers cannot be created overnight.
It takes time to train men. Neither
can plants be equipped in the time
that some members think.
"This talk has alt taken place in the
debate on the $135,000,000 supplemen-
tary fol war purposes: '
The' Minister of Finance seemed im-
patient and properly so to get ,the
bill through, so. that accounts can be
paid. Mr. Hanson said he appreciat-
ed the situation, but .indicated that
he could. not 'control all the,: speakers
w ho form an opposition.
The item did not pass tonight, but
it is expected to get through early to-
morrow.

• Thursday, April 3,
The finance minister who had been
very cautious in commitment as to
the time of the budget announced in
the House ,today that it will . not be
brought, down before Easter. No
doubt .preparations have beett pretty
well advanced for the delivery o fhhis
pronouncement next week, but at no
time was any suggested date official.
Now this is clarified by the state-
ment that it will ,be impossible to
have it before the recess of parlia-
ment which starts on April 9. ' The
minister did say, however, that before
the recess that he wou1d.make a tate-
ment regarding taxes on excess pro-
fits.
It is reported that many represen-
tations have been made regarding the
operation of this tax. It is fixed at
75 per cent, but. Mr. Ilsley points out
that it works out at about 79% per
cent.
A board operates to adjust ques-
tions which arise in connection with
the working of this tax, but it is
clai'tned that the structure of this sta-
tute is inadequately elastic -to pro-
vide the relief which may be justified.
It is with these phases of the ques-
tion the minister is expected} to deal.
One of the accomplishments of to-
day's sitting was, the sanction of the
bills which provides 135 million to
meet the overdraft on war account in
the fiscal year which closedi March 31.
The Conservative Ieader made a pro-
test that too much is being done by
order -in -council, which, canna' be just-
ified when parliament is in session.
Mr. Poulolt made a lengthly on-
slaught
nslaught on the Department of De-
fence and insisted that he' was de-
termined to have a military camp in
his county. He made the statement
that 99 per cent of the Corporation
lawyers are crooks. Mr. Hanson got
himself quite worked .up in his argu-
ment regarding the passing of orders -
in -council, but when Mr. ,Ilsley and
Col. Ralston dealt with his points one
by one he retracted about everything
he. said. This created.. about -the only
humorous situation in the day's de-
bate.
In the Senate there has been quite
a lively debate going on' in reference
to the British, Government's request
for war material, before the collapse
of France. It will be recalled that a
diseusslon of, this sort took place in.
the Cotiitmtins let year., This time it
is itt the Senate and according "to re-
ports they are quite worked +up about
the situation that existed andtzt a

The bud3e•t will not be brought

days will likely be spent in discuss-
ing the want of confidence amend-
ment submitted by MT. Senn (Cans.,
Haldimand) and Mr. Perley (Cons.,
Qu'Appelle). This is a purely politi-
cal move and it will involve a great
deal of discussion which could all
come when the agricultural estimates
are um. If this - amendment carried
the Goverment woulddbe defeated and
a new election would have to be held
immediately.
Earl Rowe (Cons., Dufferin-Simeoe)
practically charged corruption in the
handling of funds in connection with
the Western- agricultural situation.
Mr. Gardiner quickly rose in his seat
and demanded that if charges were to
be made, the thing for Mr. Rowe to
do was to immediately resign and
press these charges: Mr: Rowe• im-
mediately back-pedalled and thought
the minister had misunderstood ' his
words..
Mr. Gardiner said the Western far-
mer had been prevented from selling
