Highlights Of Budget
Compulsory savings portion of in-
come tax discontinued from July 1,
1944. ,
All tariffs . on farm machinery as
well as 10 per cent. war exchange
tax are removed.
The 'Budget has no tax increases.
Borrowing requirements in 1944 45
will be.$3,200,000,000, or $320,000,000
more than last year.
Government's cash requirements
for 1944-45 are estimated at $6,000,-
000,000,
6,000;000,000, or $200,000,000 more than
last year.
Revenues for the present year are
estimated at $2,617,000,000, compar-
ed with $2,701,000,000 last year, not
including refundable taxes.
Expenditures- estimates already
before Parliament total $5,152,000,-
000, or $205,000,000 less than actual
expenditures last year.
Estimated 'budgetary deficit is
$2,535,000,000, about $100,000,000 less
than last year.
Large unanticipated expenses in
most active phase of the war will in-
crease cash requirements to $6,000,-
000,000
6,000;000,000 and make estimated budget-
ary deficit unimportant.
Tax allowances for children will
cover all children dependent on tax --
payer, including illegitimate chil-
dren.
In-laws will qualify as.. dependent
!relatives for income tax 'purposes.'°
It Applies Here Too
In speaking of the cyclone which
did a milliondollars damage in Mid-
dlesex County last week, the London
Fee Press says: i
"Last week's storm did not touch
London, yet there is a lesson in it for
Londoners. This city is proud ; of its
Aide, "The Forest City," but there
are drawbacks. Many of our Targe
soft maplies are past maturity and
have become weak. In the event of
a sudden wind or cyclonic force they
might be a menace to life and pro-
perty. Would it not be a goodidea
to include -in our plans for post-war -
civic improvement the, cutting down'
of these old trees and the planting of
young trees?" a
This paper has frequently drawn
attention to the maple trees which
form such beautiful avenues. - on
many of the streets of Seaforth.
Many of these maples; like those on
London streets,' are long past matur-
ity, and have already become dan-
gerously weak. it is true that this
town has never experienced a wind,
of cyclonic proportions, like that
which devastated our neighboring
county last week, but that is no guar-
antee that' we will remain immune
for years to come, or even for the
remainder of this year.
It is not., alone the danger to life
and property, that a storm of even
much leaser proportions might eas-
ily cause, but the sudden destruction
of these trees would completely mar.
the beauty of the streets, which for ,
many years have brought forth the
enthusiastic approval of every tour-
ist passing through the • town.
If the town authorities are con-
vinced that the removal ,of these
over -age trees and the planting of
others in their place, can not be done
at this time, they 'should ' certainly
see that such a plan topped the list
of post-war civic improvements.' Na-
,_ ture-is kind, but she has her limita-
tions, and we have been tempting
Nature,: far too long.

Canadian Legion, The Mister said
that Canada was too great`" ceurit
to put up_. with anti-Frene'hanti-
Anglo-Saxon, anti-Semitism, or any
other anti -foreign movements, and
here is a quotation from his' speech:
"When you, read a list .of opera-
tional gallantry awards, you will
find that no one race in Canada has
a° monopoly of gallantry, just as no
race has a monopply of patriotism.
"Run your eye,
e, for example;
,
through the list•of Distinguished1.e
Flying Crosses awarded to junior of-_
ficers of the R.C.A.F., and what have
we?
'Such names as Bezer, Beich,

ner, Zee,. Koester, Kropf, Kusiar,
-Miesen, Oleinck, Schmidt,Shemilt,
Soudegaard, Sorsbahl, Weiser and
Wilhelmsen—all winners of the D.
F. C."
An additional proof of the way
Canadians of foreign extraction had
- rallied to the different war arms was
shown by the fact, the Minister said,
that a full division could be gathered
of those who spoke the Slav tongue.
There are 12,000. in the different
armed services who speak Ukrainian
as their second language, 9,000 who
speak. German, 2,800 who speak Pol-
ish, 2,200 who speak Italian and -1,000
who
speak Hungarian.
These
are figures which the -super -
patriots among our Canadian people,,
who are forever worrying about the
patriotism of somebody, else, should
' read and remember. .

They Are Back
Four years ago Prime Minister
Churchill flew to France to plead
with the French authorities to con-
tinue the war against Germany.
Then came Dunkerque; and the mir-
aculous retreat of the British Army
across the Channel to Britain.
But before the British soldiers left
French, soil, they made a solemn
promise 'to Hitler: "We'll be back !"
Well, the British soldiers are back
again. And with them have gone
King George, Mr. Churchill, and all
the top British and American Gen-
erals, who, have been able to review
reconquered fields so soon after the
first invasion blows were struck.
This visit shows the thorough job
the Allied soldiers did, and the com-
plete cpnfidence these soldiers and
their high commands share. A confi-
dence which, seems justified or else
there would not be an endless flow
of men and materials across the
Channel to build. up ,the power ale
ready on the shores of -! ance.
- The men of Dunkerque have gone
back again, all right, ' and they have
taken with them their American
friends. And what is more, they are
planning to stay a good deal longer
than Hitler ever intended them to.
It is quite apparent, too, that a
'Europe that was not big enough for
Hitler in 1939, is going to be awfully
crowded from now on.

What She Wants
Recently the women from many
parts of Scotland met at Edinburgh
to discuss. what isto be done about
rural ' houses after the war. Soft
Scottish voices from as far north as
Rosshire and west from Argyle were
joined with the border,, tones from
Berwickshire. ,
After four years' experience of
living in towns and cities,- where
they have been engaged in, war in-
dustries, one would naturally think
they would have some . advanced
ideas as to what the future require-
ments of their ,homes and surround-
ings would have.. to be if they were
again to live a happy and contented
life in the country.
f But apparently not. There are '
just three things these Scottish coun-
try women want afterpewee comes.
For herself, she wants a house well
furnished with her "own bits of
things" about it: ' ,
For her man, she wants, a solid
piece of 'work, and for the bairnes
some home industry In the .f uturei so

in the strawberry 'season. She always
seemed to know when a lad was hun-

and a pat of butter brought up out
of the cool depths of the stone cellar,
she would prepare bread and butter

berries from a big bowl after clean-

I can still remember my mother

if she could get enough wild straw-

Father would make a great show of
picking for awhile, but he usually
found a fence rail that had to be
replaced or else, he had to -go and
look at a wheat field Or something
like that, while mother kept at Iter

depending on the whim of Nature.
We bave one more treat in store.
There'll be a strawberry social at the

Buckwheat .is Good. Feed Crop
--Buckwheat may be included in the
rations . for feeding livestock, says .3.
D. McLeod, Director or -the Crops,
Seeds and Weeds Branch 'of "the On-
tario Department of Agriculture. It
is extremely resistant to the attacks
of soil insects; it makes an excellent
green manure. crop • when plowed
down; it improves the physical• con-
dition of the soil; it makes a good.
bee pasture and cannot .be beaten as
a smother crop for weeds. Weedy
pastures and, weedy hay fields may
be• broken the latter part of June
or early' July and sown tp buckwheat.
If soil and moisture conditions are
,favorable, the crop will be up in four
days and the ground well covered in
a short time with a luxuriant crop
of leaves which will• assist greatly in
smothering weeds.
Buckwheat may be sown as late as
July 15th in some sections of the
Province. However, owing to the 'pos-
' sibility of early fall frosts, It is ad-
visable to get it in not` later than
the first week in July. It is adapted
to a wide variety of soils and will
yield fair returns -on soils which lack
in fertility. Clean, 'well -graded seed
and a well-prepared seed bed' are es-
sential in order „'to obtain maximum
yields. The usual rate of seeding is
from three-quarters to 1% bushels
per acre, Buckheat has a definite
piece among our grain crops, partihu-
larly this year wleun' maximum pro-
duction of home -growl grains is so
essential.
Winter Wheat in Eastern Canada
The growing of winter wheat in
Eastern Canada is confined largely to
Ontario where some 700,000 acres are
sown annually. For , the .past five
years the. anneal production has var-
ied frlfm 13,222,00 bushels at 22.0
bushels per acre in. 1943 t9' 2;3,391,000
bushels at 30.9 bushels per acre in
1942. The milling trade normally us=
es about 5,000,000 bushels for mak-
ing biscuits, cakes and ijastry goods,
but owing to the ppor 'quality of the
crop 1943 and. the heavy demands
for feed for lidestock and . poultry,
winter wheat has been in short s ap-
ply. The high yields per acre, toge-
gether with the strong demand, for
winter wheat for feed aridfor uaiiling
give winter wheat an important place.
In pastern Ontario, Quebec and in
the Maritimes only small acreages of
winten'wbeat are grown' and the erop
is used for feed •purposes only. „.

Farm, Ottawa, says A. G. O. White-
side, has developed a new variety,
Rideau, which is more winter hardy
than Dawson's Golden Chaff, and has
done very well in this area. It does
not yield quite as well as Dawson's
Golden Chaff in the main growing
areas, nor is it as suitable for the
milling trade, consequently Rideau is
not • recommended for Western On-
tario. ,
The Cereal Division, at Ottawa, and
the Dominion "Experimental Station
at Harrow, Essex County, Ont., . are
actively engaged in, breeding better
varieties of winter wheat for Ontario.
Problems in resistance to leaf and
stem rust, loose and stinking smut
together with high yields and suit-
able milling quality have been under
study and tests for a number of years.
Some promising material is now un-
der test. Varieties resistapt to loose -
and stinking smut and to leaf and
stem rust have been produced but
these have not advanced far enough
to be released teethe farmer.
Good cultural practices and good
seed are important in obtaining good
results from winter wheat. The seed
should be treated with one of the
mercurial dusts to control -stinking
smut and to protect the young • seed-
lings from root rots. Loose smut can.
be lessened by using seed from pre-
vious crops which were free, or by
the hot water treatment. Prepare a
goodpeed bed and for surface drain-
age where water accumula-les in the
spring. Sow early )enough to allow the
plants to be well established before
freeze-up. Winter wheat responds o
good fertility. Increased yields • i
be obtained by using manure or arti-
ficial fertilisers, or a combination of
both. .
July -August Chicks Are Not Wanted
