What 13 The Matter With It ?
We have heard frequent coin-
plaints in- recent weeks about this
pent winter weather. it seems
it is unseasonable, unnatural, 'un-
healthy' and a lot of others things
thai-doi not follow, in the wake of . an .. .
old`-•aShioned::.winter.
By old fashioned, we presume
these people mean a cold winter, but
why they continue to call cold win-
ters old fashioned, is a little beyond
ifs, as it has been beyond many
others over the space of a few cen-
turies.
It is claimed that winters are get-
ting warmer, and there maybe some-
thing in this claim. To find the
-facts, howyer, one would have to
compare the weather, winter by
winter, for some centuries back, and
this as far as we know has never
been set out in tables.
In the seventeenth century, be-
fore Canada'sreal day had dawned,
Pepys recorded that in the winter of
1660, there was no cold weatherat
all. 'This, apparently, so disturbed
the ,worthy :Britons that Parliament
ordered a Fast Day, to pray for more
seasonable weather, the kind., they
. had been getting being that of sum:-
mer.
um=mer,
Apparently the prayers availed
much in: time, because the winter of
1683-84 was so cold` that the Thames
-River was frozen over' so solidly
that great Fairs were held on the
ice. That winter must have been old
fashioned.: enough to suit the most
particular, °
But we do not need to delve back
into the centuries to locate an old-
fashioned winter for this part . of
Canada at least. Take, for instance,
the winter of ,1942-43, when there
,was . twenty feet of snow; when for
days at a time there was not a road,
or even a highway open to traffic,
and the thermometer was down to
zero and below for weeks at a
stretch. If : that was not an old-
fashioned winter, what is an old-
- fashioned winter?
One would think that the memory
of that winter would still be so green
as to discourage any . complaint
about the winter we am now having
in this year of graces 1944. But, ap-
parently, some people either lack the
faculty of remembrance, or it is just
the cussedness of human nature that
makes them complain. Proclaiming
a National Fast Day to pray -for
Members of Parliament would be in
order at any time, but we don't see
much, use in asking Parliament to
deal with the weather.
In the meantime, to quite a few of
us, there is nothing the matter with
this winter. It is quite all right—so
far.• .

The Post -War Car
We have been reading and hearing
so much in recentyears about the
wondersof the post-war cars, that
we.. were beginning to vision it as
something possessing the speed of a
Spitfire, the resisting ' power of a
truck, the comfort of a hotel suite
and the lightness of a bicycle. . ,
In fact, we were getting so far be-
yond the bounds of possibility, that
the automobile makers have had to
take a hand in order to bring us
back to earth again. These , point
out that the day -of light metals,
. with which these dream cars were
to be made,. is still a long .way off..
That aluminum;rs too high-priced to
compete with steel. That even if
that were not, so, thenature of it
'Would prohibit' it in the use �f either

B>;t it will not resemblethe artists'
dream of what a car should be. Not
at all.
All of which is a very good thing
for the peace of the world. Given a
new set of tires and a lick of paint,
your old car will stand inspection in
any company. Since cars ceased to
be manufactured, and their sale has
become a thing of the past, the old
car was. just as good as any one
eises, and it will not hurt anyone to
have it remain that way for a few
years longer.

Groundhog pay
Wars may, come and wars may go,
but Groundhog Day goes on forever.
No matter, what world event may
fill the . newspapers on, any. February
2nd, there will always be 'a para-
graph on the groundhog. It has al-
ways been that way. It. always will.
Regardless of snow, rain or sun
shine, he crawls up out of his winter
home, where as far as you, or anyone
else knows, he may have been sitting
in a comfortable arm chair, like a
good many war strategists we know,
and sizes up 'the weather.
He doesn't" take a vote or a Gallup
poll. He,, just 'looks about. If his
shadow shows, he crawls back into
his hole, and the public says: "Six
more weeks of winter!" :a
He is sometimes right, He' is very
,often wrong, but it doesn't make a
particle of . difference, because no
one ever ---thinks to check up on him.
He is just a sign that spring will
come soon, or even sooner.

Words In The Right Place
This interesting story comes out
of Alberta, where many other inter-
esting things, concerning govern-
ment, have happened, but none other,
as far as we c know, having such a
happy ending.
A year ago a foreign born • farmer
sat down -in his home one day -and
wrote ,a letter. He addressed it to
"Most Powerful of- Princes, King'
George VI, London, England,"
He _said: "I have a --request to
make to ' you, Most Powerful "
of Princes, concerning' the - state
of the road in our district." He
carefully" explained that his district
had been settled for about five years
and comprised a community of about
twenty farmers. "I, too, live on a
farm," he said, "and . we can not
make things go because the road is
so bad we can hardly leave our
yards."
Stating that a petition to the local
'--.department of public works had not
brought even an acknowledgment, he.
asked .the King to "please_say a few
words in the right place concerning
our road. If you do not help us, no-
body will.: Please do' not look upon
my request with disfavor. I bow to
Your Highness, and I . kissyour
hands."
The letter was mailed and arrived..:..,.
in London, but did not. reach the
King. It was handled by the Bureau
of Transactions, which sent it back'
to Ottawa ; and eventually it bounc-
ed back to the Works Department in
Alberta -having made the complete
round trip to England and back.
The farmer finally received an -
acknowledgment and regrets'that the
department had . "little funds for
road work, in your - district." But
the trusting appeal to the King must
have struck a responsive chord some
where along- the line, for the road
was eventually repaired and the
farmer's letter to his -King was not
written in vain.

The Farm Is Coming Back
According tostatistics kept year
by year by the Canadian Bank of
Commerce, the agricultural eorn-
munity has been coming back in an
unbroken record,- since it plumbed
the depths :immediately following
the depression. The year between
September 30, 1942, and ' September
30, 1943, has been the best of the
ten-year period, -
Over this period, eriod, the farm cash in -
Come has tripled. At the. same time
costs have risen less than fifty per
cent thus the- netfarm farm purchasing
power has- doubled since the de -res--

Have you ever felt like yelling' `i
don't mean yelling about the high
taxes, but just...yelling far the sheer
thrill of it. Yesterday when I step-
ped outside the house to go down and
do the morning chores, 'the sun was
waging a duel with the fusty hang,.
over from the night before. By the
time I was through choring it was.
fairly warm ori the sunny side of the
barn and by noon the air was quite
warms for a January day:,
The eaves were dripping a little
and there Were some cheeping spar-
rows . flitting around the driving -shed„
It was one of those ,days when you
do feel as"if Spring is holding a pre-
1,vietw of the Wage'lo cen}e. The air
is soft and warm in place of brittle
and .gold. - The •dog :chases the rooster
and the pigs• grunt away.in a ebprus
from behind • the pig -pen • do'or; as if
wanting to get outside into, the. sun-
shine. The cows mill around the old
strawstack and the•. team, of `bays
whinny earnestly, as if pleading , for
a chance to get a run down the lane
way and back. Even Sir Timothy,
the Second, the red hull, snorts and
paws around with a great rattling of
chains.
I suddenly wanted to yell. Et was
the same feeling the one you get driv-
ing -through a big swamp in winter-
time with a load of logs for the mill.
Boys yell, but men have certain feel-
ings and a fear of being called crazy,
so they whistle or sing very loudly.
A boy'will.hoot and holler and listen
for the •echo. I've had the same- feel-
ing sitting 'in„ the ante -room of some
of the bigger 'financial -institutions, in.
the city. Solemn -faced; young men
wearing black clothes walk by you,
talking about rates of interest -
and you wonder why young men
should look so devoid :of'happiness.
Then you see old..men, looking severe.,

like a flash. The young Men . imitate

there's another class of -young men

so it's just an endless: chain. I've
a,lwe,yiswanted tq. yell out or do some-
thing that would, break this chain.
Someday I'm going to yell . . . just
to see if the old men would stop.look-
ing like undertakers and the _:young

a few seconds.

you want to. Not doing it, gives you
the start of a sense of frustration.
I've- been thinking however, that it
might cause oriite a sensation in, the
township. If I went , back the land
yelling and yipping at the top of my
voice it would certainly give the
neighbors something to - talk about.
Thinking about this is what kept me
from letting out a real war-whqop. ,

around quite carefully and let out a
couple that couldn't be heard much

to the window •and look: out anxious-

Suitability of Western Grown Seed.
Grain For Eastern Canada
For many years the belief has been
more or less commen in Eastern Can-
ada that seed grain grown on the
Prairies for seeding in Ontario, Que-
bec and the Maritimes is .not likely
to be as suitable as home grown seed.
How this -idea originated or upon
what it is based is not, definitely
known. It is probably a safe conjec-
ture, however, that Western' grown
grain brought East for feeding has
been tcleaned up and used for• seed
without any regard as to the variety.
Not only would such seed likely .be
mixed With a number of different
varieties but these varieties would•
.probably not be as suitable for East-
ern conditions 'as are varieties com-
monly grown here.
In order to obtain reliable informa-
tion on this roe ion, the Cereal Divi-
sion, Experimental Farms Service, Ot-
tawa, initiated.a; comprehensive test
in 193:g -with one variety of .wheat
(Regent), one inriety of oats (Van-
guard) and one variety of barley, (0.
A.C. 21). states Dr. L. H. Newman,
Dominion Cerealist. p0
In the seed eats experiment the
variety Vanguard was chosen chiefly
(because this variety seemed to be
widely adapted bath to Eastern Can-
ada and Weitern Canada. It is also
resistant to stem rust. Seed of this
variety which had been grown at Ot-
tawa for • some time was sent to each
of the following 'farms: Beaverlodge,
Alta.; Ilaiombe, Alta,; Brandon,
Man.; Ste. Anne de la Pooatiere,. P.
Q., and Nappan, N.S. Thig seed was
grown at :'these•• stations as well as
at Ottawa in 1938: In- the spring of
1939 each, of these farnis, ii:ieludin.g
the Central Farm, sent each of the
other Farms bg tire list, enough• -seed,
to surra primer 't°eats- tai yeer.'"'1 h is
in 1939, each Farm compared its own
home grown seed of Vanguard with
seed of the same 'variety brought,in
that 'Spring from, the other five Farms.
This. was continued systematically
during the yeai-s 1946 and 1941, and
the rigida -Obtain-ed for -Warded to the
Cereal Division for study and colli
pilatl on.

The same results were obtained in
the ..ease of wheat ands barley.
This, information will be of 'inter-
est this year to Eastern farmers who
have to buy seed gratin and who may
be considering the use of seed grown
in Western Canada. On j.heabasis .of
this experiment, they need not hesi
tate to secure the variety they want
from any 'point in Canada ptoviding
it -comes to them as registered seed
Coming in sealed saclis following
Government inspection, they will be
sure of what they are getting. Thus,
the seed of varieties which' do well
in Ontario such as Vanguard, Ajaa,
Banner or Victory might be secured
from the West without hesitation.
Vanguard,. and. Ajax are resistant to
forms of stem rust commonly found
in the West and appear to be equally
resistant to -.-the rusts which prevail
in Easfern Canada. Similarly, ' Baa-•
ner and Victory may he expected to
occupy about the same position in
relation to .other varieties in Eastern
Canada .as they do in the West.
A lot,of very fine quality feed oats
are'-comfhg to .the East this year .but
the variety is practically never
known. . It is too risky to . u'se this
grain for seeding purposes; no 'mat-
ter how well it may be. cleaned and
graded. It will pay Well to give a
little extra for seed of known variety
and which bears a guarantee as, to
its general purity as well as vitality.
