An Ontario Election
Following the defeat of the Gov-
ernment
ov
ernment in the Legislature last week
Premier Ilrew announced on Satur-
day
atur
day that'he had asked for and been
granted a dissolution of the Legisla-
ture a 'by the Lieutenant -Governor.
That means a' gene ,;;. l" election in
Ontario, which in' all probability will
be held early in June, or possibly
sooner,if arrangements for the tak-
ing of the soldier vote can be com-°
pleted without any unnecessary de-
lay.
The action gf Mr. Drew caused no -
Surprise throughout the.e Province,
and no particular censure should be
placed upon him.. It is quite possible
that if the Legislaturehad convened
again on -Tuesday, -as;anticipated, the
pion would have gone on as usual,
and an election would. ,have been
averted. '
Carrying on: a minority govern -
went; however, ,is . all but an impos-
sIble task, and no one should blame
Mr. Drew unduly for the course he
has chosen. But whether an election
will improve his position remains to,
be seen.. It is apparent now, and has
been for some time, that if Mr. Drew
had gone to the country immediately
after forming his government, his
prospects would have been decidedly
better. than they are today.
The fact of the matter is now,
however, ,that Mr. Drew wants an
election. Moreover, he is going to
have one.. Bid his contention that he
has been forced, into one, is by no
means;true. Whether unwillingly or , '
not during • the whole course of his
tenure of office, he has acted as if he a
was the head of •a strong majority
government, whereas he 'was the
head• of a government that was fac-
ing a ;strong opposition _majority.
Consequently a government policy,
however beneficial it might be.in his
view, could neither be passed by him
nor forced upon an unwilling opposi-
tion, without some compromise or
`co-operation. '
But Mr. Drew has never been op-
en to either.compromise 'or co-opera-
tion, in or out of the Legislature.. On
the other hand, he is rather inclined
to be the dictator, and dictating to a
majority opposition is what°has land-
ed him in his present position.
That. position may suit Mr. Drew,
but whether the Province it_will suit the people of
to theextent of return-
ing him -to power with a large major-
ity, or even a working majority, is
something only the coining election
will demonstrate: •
It is well to remember that . Mr:
Drew's chief opponent in that elec-
tion will be Mr. Hepburn, and Mr.
Hepburn is pretty much an unpre-
dictable quantity: He may not be as
strong as when he swept the'coun-
try on two other occasions, but there
can be no: denial of the fact that he
is still the same Mitch' in the minds •
and hearts of a large section of'rural
Ontario.

Not Unusual
A rather curious thing occurred in'
the Congress -of the United States a
few weeks ago. Two Democratic
members of Congress; one from Il-
li'nois and. one from Michigan, made
identically the same speech within a
short time of each other.
One Congressman had had the
speech written in his office a short
time before he delivered it, and had
also sent some copies to.the'. news-
papers.
The second member had
been given a copy by a newspaper
and thought it so good he delivered
it again as his own.
, -Perhaps such occurrences are a
little unusual, : but a short study of
our Canadian Hansard would thor-
oughly convince one that they- have
occurred here many times. In.fact,
we have seen in Hansard a. Member
of Parliament's speech _that was a
word' picture of a newspaper editor-
ial that had been, published' a.,week
or two before.
P
Why?
It is funny how some people' cover the great importance and in-
fluence of their local newspaper
when they get' into a scrape. They
live for years without subscribing,
but' the minute they` get into some
trouble, things look different, and
they cannot get to the editor quick
enough to ask him not to say Any-
thing about it in the: paper.- ,Why?
That -is-the way the Goelphr Mer-
cury states • the situation, and. it is a
very accurate statement too. There
are some other funny discoveries
that the small town newspaper edi-
tor, in. particular, has long since
made.
It is funny how - some people sud-
denly- discover the great importance
and influence of their local- `news-
paper, when they have an axe of •
their o' to grind. How handy it•
to have the' -editor fire the balls
they- make, and often shoulder the
responsibility and blame, while they
remain anonymous. Why?
:Funny that the local paper'should
provide all the advertising and bally-
hoo—free—for all the local and
patriotic projects of enthusiastic and
public spirited bodies—or else. While
others, who may contribute as little
as a dollar to the cause, are really
considered to be very generous.
Why?
There are . often thins that a
newspaper would like to things
on
„.• its own.` Things that would be in-
tensely interesting and enlarge their
circulation.' But these things might
step on someone's toes, .and the edi-
tor really has a heart'. He doesn't
get any credit for it, of ° course; he
only loses a subscriber when some-
one imagines he is being singled out
-purposely .
for undtfe• liu'bixcity, no
matter how true it maybe' Wh. ;?'

Huron Federation Of
Agriculture--FarmNews
Useful Facts Passed To Farmers '
District Experiment. Substations
and Illustration Stations serve as con-
necting links- between the Dominion
Experimental Farms and the farmers
of Canada. The purpose of these Sta-
tions is to bring to the attentionof
farmers the useful facts learned by
the Experimental Farms Service in
its many widespread fields of re-
search. They also serve as testing
grounds ,.for • new varieties of crops
and as experimental areas for the
study and demonstration of fertilizer
treatments, cultural methods and
farm management. They also' deal
with specialized and localized prob-
lems' which "demand careful study.
The stations try to illustrate efficient
care and management of live stock
and ' poultry, . and aim to be a local
source of supply to which neighbor-
ing farmers may look for good breed-
ing stock, poultry and seed of un-
proved, varieties of farm crops.
In the 1944 progress report of the
Stations, beautification of the farm-
stead is stressed, .because it le realik-
ed that farming is not just a, job but
a way of life and that the farm home
should ,be a place of restful enjoy-
ment and of pride to those who liven
in it. The keeping of simple but sys-
tematic farm accounts in also practis-
ed so that the.varioias farm projects
may be' evaluated, keeping those
most Profitable • and reorganizing the
less'pr'ofitable or dropping them alto-
gether.

which a large proportion of the farm-

the needs of the case all round..
Farm "Poison Licks"
Farmers. are certainly "promising"
themselves trouble when cattle are
allowed' to lick 'freshly painted fenc-
es, billboards, stanchions and other
structures. That Is because ,paint is
the most common source of lead
around the .barnyard, and more farm
animals are poisoned by lead than by
any other metallic poison.

Anemia Control in Suckling rigs,
In recent years. pig raisers Have
found it necessary to make a. regular
practice of treating young pigs with
iron for the prevention of anemia.
However, there are several treat-
ments for anemia, and the recon
mended dosages of iron compounds
are not too specific. In. order to in
vestigate various sources of iron and,
methods of treatment for anemia con=
trol, an.' experiment was conducted.
during. the • past, year at the Central,,
Experimental Farm, Ottawa, says
Edward B. Fraser, ,of the Division of
Animal Husbandry.
There were ave lots in the expert-
men£. ^In
