Welcome !.
Seaforth will have as its guests on
Monday next, June 7th, the `members
of the Huron Federation of Agricul-
ture, and hundreds of others from
the farming districts of the county,
when they meet at the Lions Park to
hold the Federation's first annual
field day and picnic.
We know that the citizens of Sea -
forth and every organization in the
town, including the Mayor and
Council, will welcome these visitors
and extend a helping hand to make
this first annual event of the Federa-
tion an unqualified success.
Remember that the strangers who -
will be within our gates will not come
empty handed. Their program will
afford us many excellent (educational
opportunities, and we should show
our appreciation by heartily co-oper-
ating in the carrying .out of their
plans,

.ridiculous In The Extreme
If there is such a thing, on this
earth as making one's self ridiculous
in the sight of men, we would say
that Col. George A. ' Drew, Leader of
the Ontario Opposition party, and
the Globe and Mail have attained
that status in an eminent degree.
Col. Drew's published statement in
which he said that M.r. Nixon's rise
to the Premiership of Ontario was
made possible only through a politi-
cal deal by which Mr. Conant was
persuaded to relinquish the office in
return for a seat on the bench, is not
only ridiculous in the extreme, but as
false' and malicious as any that has
been laid at the door of any political
leader of any political party in the
history • of Ontario, . .
'I'he follow-up editorial., of the
Globe and Mail on the . same subject
and along the same lines, is inpre-
cisely the same class and shows not
only to what lengths that paper is
willing, to go when • thwarted in its
would-be role of king maker and
leader and director of public opinion,
but its absolute loss of touch with
the opinions held by the people of
this province, insofar,, at least, as
rural Ontario is concerned.
The facts are (and no one is more
completely conversant with them
than Col. Drew and the Toronto pa-
per) that when°Mr. Nixon was chos-
en Leader of the Ontario Liberal
party, at the recent Liberal conven-
tion, by what was to all extent and
purposes a unanimous vote, it was
the full intent of the party in the
province that he would also imlfi.edi-
ately assume the Premiership.
0)) It is true that at the time Mr. Con-
ant was Premier, but it was a posi-
tion he was occupying without the
consent of either the party at large,
the Cabinet or the Legislature. No
one more fully understood this than
Mr. Conant himself. It is equally
true, if he had felt disposed to do so,
he could have retained the Premier-
- ship for a time.
But, only for a time, and a very
short time at that. Lacking the sup-
port, of his Cabinet Ministers, party
followersin the Legislature, and the
rank and file of the party, his posi-
tion would immediately have become
untenable. Any man possessing ev-
en a medium amount of common
sense would recognize the impossi-
bility of such a position and Mr.
Conant is not only a man of great
common sense, but great ability. Mr.
Conant, resigned,
To say, therefore, that Mr. Niton

shape or form, of buying off Mr.

Meat Rationing
Meat rationing is now in effect,
and it really hasn't hurt us very
much. Neither has there been much
complaint, because Canadians are
reasonable people, and no person
who understands the situation,
would' complain about meat ration-
ing.
Meat production in Canada is not
less, but greater than it"ever was be-
fore. At the same time, however, it
should be pointed out that the do-
mestic consumption is also greater
than it ever was before, and there
are greater war demands.
To fill the old, new and special war
demands now takes half the meat
produced in Canada, consequently
there is only the other half left for
home consumption. Without ration-
ing there would be a mad scramble
for this half and panic buying would
inevitably result. •The man with the
money would get the meat, and too
many people would get no meatat
all.
Rationing putsall on the same
basis and treats all alike. The man
with much money gets no more than
the man with little. Under the cir-
cumstances, that is the proper way
and the only way to do it.
No one wants to cut down the
meat supply of our three armed forc-
es, ,or• any one of them.
No one would think ' of cutting
down the canned meat supplies now
going to Canadian prisoners of war,
who sorely need all they are getting
now.
No one would want to send less
meat to Allied countries, who have
and will continue to suffer far more
in this war than we have or will.
After all, rationing .will only .re-
duce by fifteen or twenty per cent.
the average household consumption,
which from a health standpoint,
might be beneficial to us. At any
rate it is not a serious matter to us
as Canadians, and we should take it
cheerfully and with a 'smile.

Tod Much Silk
. An American schoolboy wrote the
other day that the United States
does not raise silk- worms now .be-
cause it gets its silk from the rayon,
which is a larger animal and gives
more silk.
Well,. perhaps. But you tell that
to the average woman today, and
she will take one look at the wrinkles
round her .sister's ankles and the fit
of herstockings elsewhere, and tell
you that the rayon produces alto-
gether too much silk these days.

On Bombing Germanp
Tass News Agency reporting from
Moscow last week, stated that a let-
ter taken from a German : prisoner
said, that oft -bombed Essen "looks
like Stalingrad."
"You write that it is not so bad in
Essen, said another captured .letter
written by a German girl to her sol-
dier husband, "you don't know what
you are talking about. We sit in the
c.ellar and wait for death."
Another letter; Tass said, reported
that Essen had been "converted into
a pile of ruins."
And that is the country a ld, the
people' who were ,told by their Nazi
leaders that no British or Allied
bomb would ever drop on Germany.

We had a young English airman at
our place for Sunday and were en-
joying a little pre -rationing bacon
when he posed a question that set
me off on a rather interesting excur-
sion into .fancy. He said, "Where
does this. bacon come from?"
Now that seems like a rather easy
question to answer but you just think
about it. Imagine sitting up on`'some
cold winter night when a brood sow
delivers nine or ten little pigs. Just
imagine the different stages of the
development of those pigs. They have.
to be weaned and then fed in the
proper way so as to get the best de-
velopment. They have `to have min-
erals. There can't be any guess work
these days as to when the pigs are
ready for market. We have to have
Bacon of the proper quality if we're
going to maintain our position in the
post-war bacon trade.
The hogs go off to market. The
packing plant takes over and trans-
forms the pigs into meat and the long
lean sides are cured and packaged in-
to jute sacks for their trip across the
ocean. An English housewife takes
her edupons down to the butcher :and
gets.a weekly allowance of four ounc-
es of bacon per person per week.
Down each Wiltshire side there• ie a
ribbon of lettering which says 'Can-
ada:- The English housewife must
certainly thank the Canadian farm-
ers for that good lean; •baceal.,. every
time she buys it. -
Scan 'dimes I think that farmers
aren't given enough credit for the
part they play in this ,war. It's ra-
ther hard to see a bunch of pigs root-
ing around in a field and then picture'
the importance of the meat they are

RELATIVE VALUES OF CROPS
SOWN LATEIN THE SEASON
FOR GRAIN
With the late season which we 'have
experienced this year, the question
now is, what is the best crop to sow
fordthe production of,grain for our
livestock? ' The following table gives
the yields' of grain of our two .major
crops, barley and oats,, and two sub-
stitute crops, millet and buckwheat.
As the Statistics Branch of the De-
partment of Agriculture. for Ontario
does not give the yields of millet, the
following yields for the long-time per-
iod are from crops grown at the Field
Husbandry Department, Ontario Agri-
cultural College.
In this table we have recorded the
average yields of Mandscheuri barley
and ,Banner oats over a period of 52
years, and Siberian Millet and Silver
Hull Buckwheat for a period of 25
years.. The barley and oat yields in
this table were from the crops that
were sown as early as possible in the
spring. It will be noted that the yields
of grain and total..digestible protein
of pats and barley are very much
greater than that from the millet and
buckwheat.

Experiments on •dates of seeding
barley and oats were conducted for
six years, with an average first date
of seeding of April 18th, and succeed-
ing• seedings at weekly intervals. It
was found that barley sown five weeks
after the first date of seeding gave
an average yield of only 40 per "cent.
of that train the early seeding, late
oats about 50e per- cent., and early
oats approximately 70 per cent.
It is fair to assume that barley or
oats sown at this late date, which is
now five weeks later than the aver-
age first date, would .give a similar
percentage of the yield as those re-
corded in our dates of seeding. For

FOOD, A WEAPON OF WAR
Of world-wide significance is a Unit-
ed Nations conference on food at Hot
Springs, Virginia. Problems relating
"to consumption, production and dis-
tribution of food in the post-war per-
lod are being discussed, and Canada
is being represented by a delegation
of agricultural experts. The food
question will be a pressing one after
victory is- won, for relief will be need-
ed for Europe's hungry millions. Can-
ada's huge productive capacity will
be an important aspect in any consid-
eration of the problems.
The conference will not make any
commitments or agreements, But will
be technical and exploratory in scope
with any recommendations directed to
the governments concerned. It is ex-
pected to continue three weeks.
