leuotion to the Cause '
Speaking with enthusiasm of Mr.
Roosevelt's opening speech in the
coming American election campaign*
the Toronto Globe and Mail says:
"Regardless of any feeling of which
Canadians might have on the .-out-
come of the United States election --
and they -undoubtedly have some—
they will rejoice in the President's
good health. After five.years of war
they are well able to understand the'
demands it has made on him, as on
the British Prime Minister. Know-
ing these and being grateful for the
immense contribution which he, in
close co-operation with the British
Leader, has -made to victory, they
cannot be other than thankful that
his health has not been destroyed by
his unselfish devotion to the joint
cause."
Its' is a peculiar thing,- however,
that this unselfish devotion to the
joint cause, as the Globe and Mail
sees it, is not viewed ' in that light
by a considerable section •of the
American press, which is constantly
accusing Mr. Roosevelt of putting
selfish political aims in first place
always,..' to the great detriment of
War
the nation and to the nation's
effort.
Similarliy, it is peculiar that Can-
ada as a whole, thought only a few
weeks ago, when Mr._ Churchill _and
Mr. , Roosevelt were in Quebec, that
they were not only the leaders, but
the instigators, who had carried on
successfully the greatest war effort
in the history of either nation, while
. at the same time people in both these
countries were doing everything in.
their power to bfelittle this great war
effort. '
Just last. week, because, some -400,-
000 houses demolished in the robot
bombing had not been cleaned up, a
section 'of the British press was
claiming "growing public anger over
delay and -muddle" on the part of the
Churchill Government... Many other
"scandalous" acts• of omission and
commission have also been broadcast
by a 'section of the British press.
That is the wa'y it goes in England
and the- United States. That is the
way it goes in Canada, where some
people and a certain section of the
press entirely overlook the magnifi-
cent war record of the King Govern-
ment. However, Mr. Churchill has
never overlooked that war record.
Has never failed to acknowledge and
praise it the world over. Nor has
Mr. Roosevelt, who has a much clos-
er acquaintance with Canada, ever
failed to proclaim it. "
Yet the Globe and Mail; which sees
in. Mr. Churchill's and Mr. Roose-
velt's brilliance and unselfish devo-
tion to the cause, one of the chief
Causes of the impending victory of
the Allied armies, can -see- nothing
but "scandalous" self interest in any-
thing that Mr. King has clone sine
war was declared. Forgetting—or--_
Aeliberately overlooking for spite or
selfish and personal reasons—that
its constant harping, far-fetched and
unjustifiable . criticisms of Grovern-
m:ent'policy and action, has been one'
of the greatest disturbing elements
in national unity, as well as one of
the most disturbing, influences in the
successful prosecution of Canada's
war effort. -

The Future Hap Crop
We have been assured by Natural
Scientists that making hay while the.
sun shines is notate only. time farm-
-.._ ers can now cure hay. Experiments
completed by the University ole Ten-
nessee have proved, to the farmers
of that State, at least, that any kind
of hay can be cured in a new type of -
mow.
The mow has a ribbed floor; equip-
ped with ducts, through which air
blowsup into ,and through the hay
piled on the floor. Experiments have
further proven that the cost of such
an electrically operated system does
not .exceed $500, which would figure
out tobe a cost of $2 per ton. At that
figure` the cost" would easily be made
up by the added food value obtained.
Hay in the field has up , to 80 ,per
cent. in moisture, and retained mois-
ture is a big feed premium. Further,
the new system retains as much as
40 per cent. compared with 25 per
cent.' retained after sun curing. Be-
sides other nutrients, such as leaves
otherwise lost in field handling, also
add 'a Tot to the benefits of the new'
inside system.
One farmer used a machine which
chopped the hay as it was cut, and
when this ww•s blown into the dry-
ing mow, the stocks took up only
half as much- space as field -cured
hay.
Farming is getting easier every
days.,:"
A Peal Pap Poll
The pay roll' of the Canadian Civil
Service is not, by any means, a thing
to besneezed at, but when it corps
to a real pay roll we have to look at
that of our cousins to the. South.
The Civil Service Commission of
the United States reported .last week
that the Federal Government had
2,938,602 paid civilian employees in
the. Continental United States at the
end of „July, which was a gain of
20,135 -over the preceding month of
June.
Approximately 1384,700 workers
were employed outside the continen-
tal limits of the United States.
In addition to the paid employees,
there were 295,433 employees wrho
either get no pay or receiver $1.00

The First
Dasrli'ght Saving or "summer time"
which has been in effect in the Union
of ' South Africa for" the past two
years, has been discontinued:
The action -was prompted by .op
position of the agricultural popula-
tion and the general belief that day-
light saving was no longer neces-.
nary.
Africa is, as far as we know, the
'frst country to bolish daylight sav-
• ing and go back to sun time, but it
will •be interesting to see' how" many,
and how soon, other countries will
follow her example.
There is no doubt but what there
is strong objection on the part of
agricultural Ontario to fast time,
but whether the rural parts will be
able to put their objection over, as.
was *done in Africa, is something
else again.

Joe Simpson had a pair of shoes on

wore shoes thatwere far too small

platforms with little straps that
simply. didn't do anything but keep
them .on the wearers feet. There were
grubby, little shoes for childielf .
worn well .by an older. child and now
in ,the process of being repaired' for
the next one in the family. Tommy
must get a kick out of the shoes that
come in for repair:
First of all, a pair of 'black, narrow
pointed shoes stood off by themselves
in a .cor'ner"where the shelf ran up to
the display window. The leather was
fine and well cared for and the 'heels
wprn down quite evenly. A careful
man must have worn them and I
guessed the soles were worn down to
paper -thin thickness. Sure enough,
the pair of shoes belonged to one of
the town clergmen. He is six foot
tali, thin and quiet., • Tommy laughed
at my guessing about the owner of
the shoes and then he held up an-
other pair.
These were wide . . . in fact they
looked fat and the soles were broken
through and the toes turned up;and
although they were "fine," they ,show-
ed signs that the owner had . been
around cattle. The shoes were expen-
sive. By looking at them you knew
the owner had prowled through' pas-
ture' fields in the morning when the
dew was on the grass because the
polish seemed to have washed off.

Wheat Smuts
There are two common smuts,
stinking smut or bunt, and loose smut
which cause many thousand of' dol-
lars loss a' year.
Stinking Smut or Bunt: This smut
cannot be detected:' in the fields until
the ears begin to fill. The smutted
ears are darker green and remain
green longer than thehealthy ones.
The grains only are directly affected.
They are : short, plump, light in
weight, somewhat discolored, ,and 'fill-
ed _with a brownish black, somewhat
oily powder which has an odor like
decaying fish. When a 'tainted. grain
"smut 'ball"is broken the disagreeable
odor of the powder within is very pro-
nounced. These smut balls' are brok-
en and the powder scattered in 'thresh-
ing and handling the 'grain. 'Hence
this smut even in small quantities
can be detected by the odor it im-
parts to the wheat.
Prevention: This smut can bepre-
vented by treating the seed with
ethyl meeuric phosphate (ceresan)
dust, copper carbonate 'dust or with
Formalin. Experiments show that
both""ethyl mercuric phosphate and
copper carbonate 'dust control Stalk-
ing ,Smut of wheat without lessening
germination and are at the same time
quickly and easily aplred' ''S'pr`"ink-.
ling with formalin solution has also
been found effective but in 'some 'sea-
sons has reduced the germination of
the seed to a notable extent.
Loose -Smut of Wheat: This smut
is more common and •does more dam-
age to wheat in Ontario than is gen-
erally realized• by the grain -grower.
This is owink to the fact that moat
of this ,amut is blown away long be-
fore harvest tima-and thus may be
Overlooked by the grower unless' he
happens to be inspecting his fields
about the time wheat is corning to
eat. It is not an uncommon thing to
find a wheat field with 12 to 15 per
-dent. of the ears decaying by smut.
Symptoms: Loose smut is seen in
the field just as soon as the wheat
begins to ear out. It destroys both
the grains and the 'chaff, changing
them to a black powder. The whole
head thus becomes a black smut
mass. These smut masses are brok-
en up and blown away by the wind,
the only remaining evidence at har-
vest time being the naked central
axis of the ear,
Treatment: Loose smut of Wheat
cannot be. prevented by treating the
seed With ethyl mercuric phosphate
dust; copper carbonate dust or forma—
lin. The best way'is to secure seed.

460.4 pounds' per carcass in: 1939, to
'509 pounds in 143, and an average
of 522 pounds toa'date in 1944.
Exports of Poultry '
Increased demand for ''Canadian
Poultry and the encouraging reports
on quality from the United States,
has developed the largest export busi-
