Both Do.: lainien. and Provincial Governments , are urging us to grow vegetables. . Labour shortages on farms, the neces, sity for canning commercial crops for the Armed Forces, curtailed deliveries ' —thee° may mean a reduction in the • quantity of fresh vegetables avail- able. So more and more, home gar- dens are needed this year and your garden can be a valuable help. . But you'll want to grow some vege- tables anyway for the good eating and • for the sheer pleasure and exercise you get from it. Growing your own will save trips to market—your food budget, too, Freshly picked vege- tables straight from garden to table are better, because the .fresher the vegetables the higher the vitamin va- lues. Green vegetables—ricla in vita - mine and minerals—mean health for • everyone. In wartime, we cannot afford to ex- periment, so sketch your plot on pa- per; keep a chart of , kinds of vege- tables, dates for planting and harvest- ing. Carrots, chard, beans and toma- toes might be your first choice. You can get advice on soil preparation, fertilizers and insect control from the Department of Agricultere. This is • - a year to grow food for fitness—start planning your Victory garden today! * * * TAKE A TIP: 1. Draw your garden on paper to scale; send off orders for fertiliz- ers and insecticides; repair tools and plan to do as much as you can. 2. If you've never germinated seeds in a cold frame befere—do not ex- • periment this year. Seeds are,pre- " THE PUREST FORM IN WHICH TOBACCO CAN BE SMOKED." Mons. 3.

It is, all very well to criticize the government for being remise. in their duty, not telling the world what Canada has really been doing. But it does not help neuch to have editorials day af- ter day belittling and denouncing the governmeat's' war 'eftoit and having fhese editorials reproduced in foreign. papers. And it does not help tp have speech after speech telling our own people and telling the world thatour war effort is only a fifty per cent con- trtbution. Action of this sort is about on a par with - that of those who throw up their hands in holy horror at the iaea that anyone would engage in politics when our country is involyed in this life and deatk' straggle, while they themselves hairehad their organ- izers scouting ,the country from one end to the other, have been helding political meetings and conventions, mending political fences and building their political organization just as ef- ficiently and just as diligently as if there were no war anseSpeaker, I am not rised that tp Mr.all. Well, some people collapse at crucial mo- ments while -under the terrific stride 01 trying to ride two horses at one vine. My opinion is that the 'Canadian people and the .Canadian government need make no apology for the splen- did contribution this country has made, a contribution which has re- ceived the highest praise from all al- lied leaders. Prime 'Minister Churchill described it as a :magnificent effort. Foreign Minister T. V. Soong of ,Chiea, speaking in Chungking at his first press conference after having visited the United States and Canada last fall, made the statement that Canada is conducting a wonderful war effort which in proportion to her population surpasses that of any other country. Information Minister Brendan Brack- en, in introducing our own Minister of Munitions and Supply (Mr. Howe) at a press conference in the United Kingdom last fall, described Canada's war effort as -one of the greatest in the history of the war and said that our production drive ways amazing, while our total war effort was stag- gering. Statements such • as these, coming from those outside, Canada, would indicate that there is a sharp difference of opinion between those outside and some of those inside who are telling the people that our war effort is only a fifty per cent effort. I think it would be 'really interest- ing to have those making such state- .4— tiness in flavour, an added health an- gle and a spot of variety in pancakes: in a recipe that calls for twOecups of flour, use three-quarter cup bran and 11/2 cups flour. • Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Huron Expositor.

I wish to take this opportunity to make an p peal to the selective service board, the government and the price control board to give careful consideration to the problems which our agriculturists. have to face. I enit perfectly satisfied that if they will 'do that there -will be well repaid. I believe that every member of this house and every citizen throughout the country were well satisfied when the price control board was establish- ed. There is far too much unneces- sary sniping at these men who no doubt are, trying to do an honest and conscientious job. I feel sure that if some of us were put in their positions we would soon have a different viewe point. No doubt mistakes have been made; but I do not think these at- tacks should be made in a way to create want of confidence in the board, in its set-up and in its intend- ed purpose. After all, I believe it is one of the finest things the govern- ment has done, and it has been prais- ed and copied in many other allied countries. • In closing, I ask that we given some consideration to our Prime Minister who is carrying a tremendous burden of responsibility, to our cabinet min- isters and to those men on the var- ieus boards who-_ are trying_ to , do what I believe is an honest job. ments tell nshonestly and frankly in I believe these are legitimate ques- which departments we are doing only tions.

Is it in connection with the civil ser- vice, where hundreds have worked hours of overtime with no additional pay? Or is it in our industrial pro- duction, where executiveS, engineers, draughtsmen and mechanics have toil- ed unlimited hours in an effort to or- ganize their plants for the jobs they have been ?assigned; where men and women have toiled day and night in their effort to assist in winning this , war?

There is no doubt that our man- power problem is serious; we all re- alize that. That is so in every coun- try involved in ,this war, I do not care what country you name or what sort of policy it has adopted. Sometimes v€' are told by our critical friends,that if we, had just adopted a certain pol- icy we would not have a man -power problem. I do not know of any coun- try, 1 do not care what policy it may have, at present engaged in this war which is not faced with a man -power problem 1 have been bewildered at times when I hear members with one breath say that we must have more men for the army, the air force and the navy and then with the next breath denounce. the, goVernment for taking men off the farms, 'away from lumbering Operations and out of in- rherever convoys have been asked to (lustry. I cannot ;follow that kind 'of argtiment. My opinion is that this country should not be expected to contribute to the ,armed forces the same per- centage of its population as some other countries are contributing to their armed forces. Our . potential aglicultural and .,basie production is much greater percapita than- that of any, other nation. I am afraid that if we contribute the same percentage of our population to the armed orces as has been contributed by some other nations, it willmeans that thousands will. have to be abandoned. I 'have not heard anyone in Canada or in any of the allied countries advocating a policy of that sort. The selective service board under the able leadership of the Minister of Labour (Mr. Mitchell) has a real prob- lem on its hands. I am afraid it will have to perform miracles if it is to meet the demands that will be made upon it. 21, any event .strict attention will have to be given to and diligent and exhaustive research made of the essential requirements if the ,selective service board is to be successful in making a scientific and practical dis- tribtraion of our man -power. It isnot an easy task that has been assigned to tile Minister of Labotir, and I think any honorable member put' in his place would realize that within. twen- ty-four hours. The minister has my sincere sympathy. This job will not bedone by running away -from it. It is not -Ake chap who runs away from a battle who is re- cognized as the hero. I represent an agricultural constituency, and I It -now the situation in which our people find themselves. For many years our far- mers have had a tough time with the price of their products at a point be- low their cast of production. The re- sult was that the young men left the farm as soon as they could find em- ployment elsewhere: There are :dreds of 100 -acre farms where the son of the family must bear most of the burden...because the father, on account of either age or physical condition; is not able to do a great deal. As a rule this yoting man must do the mar- keting of the produets, put in the seed, harvest the hay and grain, put in the fall wheat, attend to the thresh- ing, harvesting the fall ,erops, the fall ploughing and getting in a supply ef fuel for the winter. That is a real man's job. If the young, man is tak- 4 en off a farm like that, the father cannot be. expected to give the pro- duction the farm should give. The same can be said of 200, 300 or 400 - acre farms, although these need . a greater amount of ,Inatepowd.
