.A,dr cirttserrtent
zing the fact that a clean
good advertisement; the
e News. says: "So far Kin-
ine own council has not taken
ac ii on ti have Main Street clean-
nday mornings, but this may
!.arise up the next time the town
ethers meet.
"'There is a general feeling that
something 'in this regard should be
done, especially in the summer
i months, when large Saturday night
crowds, now being swelled • by the
tourist influx, throw -paper -and other
refuse_helter-skelter on the street,
so that 'Sunday morning it looks like
the hangover from a gigantic cele-
bration."
That is pretty much the general
situation in every Ontario town, our
own included. Seaforth's record as
a clean town is recognized by visitors.
and it would not be a wise policy to
lose' -that reputation for the sake of
the few dollars it would cost to have
a clean street on Sunday morning,
and on every other morning .in the
week as well.
Since the removal of the gas and
tire restrictions, the - world -is on
wheels again, and it is human nature
for the citizens of one town to make
a comparison of .their own town with
others through which they may be
touring, or may be visiting. And the
streets are the first thing that at-
tract
ttract the visitor's eye. The Main
Street particularly. If it is clean,
the stores and other business places
are sure to reflect that cleanness, and
the 'impression on the tourist's mind
is immediately favorable.
Often a clean -and dressed up Main
Street leads to the inspection of the
whole town, and when it does, "• that
town gets some free advertising and
some good publicity' that travels far.
On the contrary, 'no matter how pret-
ty other streets of a town may be,°
or how beautiful the' residences on
them may be,' if Main Street is dirty
and rundown, the rest is forgotten,
and Main Street alone gets the pub-
licity that is not helpful, but harm-
ful, and travels far. •
The public, too, can play a part if
it would use a little more care and
consideration. There is no reason
why Main Street on Saturday night,,.
particularly, should ' be made the,
dumping ground for motorists to dis-
pose of their' paper bags, empty cig-,
arette boxes, and, in fact, often much
more objectionable refuse. In. this
respect the public seems to be slip-
ping, and slipping badly at that. Per-
haps a little- jacking up on the part
of the town authorities would help
out in this respect. -
Canada Needs Trade
There are -two • political parties,
the C.C.F. and the Social Credit,. and
a great many people outside of them -•
in Canada, who preach the theory
that this ' country would be far more
prosperous and happy if its people
would be content to live within them-
selves and their own country and
forget about the rest of the "world
entirely. .
To these parties and people we
would suggest that they give some
° time and study to the • following
which appeared last month in the
Monthly Letter of the Royal. Bank:
-"To dispose in one paragraph of
the bogey of what would happen if . .
Canada were' so foolish as to adopt a
policy of self-sufficiency, contrast the
actualities of the past 20 years with
what might have been under a na-
tionalistic economy. If Canada had
not exported, there would have been
an average, of $1,365 million a year
less entering the flow of currency,,a
reduction of about '27 per cent, in..
the national income,' or nearly $10 a

There were i , , reported deaths
across Canada over the holiday week
end. .That is pretty nearly a ,record..
And net, a very creditable one either.
The majority of these fatalities were
the results of motor, swimming and
boating accidents. And one does
boating accidents. And looking
about one does not altogether mar-
vel at the number.
The world is a -wheel again, and at
a ' fast • pace. In fact no one would
be surprised at ,the number of motor
accidents, if one •does any driving.
The number of fools behind wheels
is amazing. These` boys—and girls,
mostly—may be perfectly sane and
in • all places outside of a motor car,
but in one they are potential killers.
At the speed they drive, and the
chances they take on the road, the
wonder is not at the number of acci-
dents, but .;that every accident does'
not result: in a fatality, or two.
The chances taken even by 'good
swimmers, not to mention the poor
or the medium artists, are just the
same. And why a man or woman, or
boy or girl, who can't even row a
punt, thinks he or she is capable of
operating a fast motor boat, taxes
the credulity of human nature.

Stretching Democracy
The new army bill with which the
United States Congress has been
struggling for some time,,, has been
much in the public mind too. Some
people, if not a majority, would have
a democratic army. So democratic
- in fact, that the term "officer" would,
be • entirely abolished, and all. army
members, regardless of rank, would
. simply be known as "soldiers."
That, it seemsto us, is -stretching
democracy just a little too far. If it
is wrong to call an officer an officer
in the Army, logically, wouldn't it be
wrong in business to have presidents,
general managers or bosses of any
kind?
What people with -such a mania for----.
democracy forget is the fact, demon-
strated times without number, that ;
in this world, at least, we must„
have bosses, broth' in and out of the
Army. It will be remembered that
Russia before the war, and for a very
short time after they entered* had
such a craze for "equality" that' they
abolished rank in their army entire-
ly.
But it didn't work; and long before'.
the war was over, rank in the army '
was on a stricter basis .th"an in any
•..other Allied array. "Jack is as good
as. his master" and "Jack of all
trades" are old, old sayings, but very.
far removed from the truth.
•.
Then As Now - •
There has been much in the papers
recently, ,pro and con, about the im-
modesty of women's dress. Down
in Montreal -they have even gone .so
far as' to put clothes on billboard
models......
It " was ever thus. Some took'. a
harsh view' and some a lenient view
of the subject—or should we say
show. One would think, however,
that a paper , like the Christian
Guardian would be inclined to take
the severe side. But no! It is true
we do not know its' attitude now, but
we quote an editorial in that paper,
written 25 years ago;
"We remember rather distinctly
that in our early boyhood there was
the same outcry against women's
dress, and our mothers were warned
very plainly that the fashions of the
day were assuredly the work of the
devil to decoy weak souls into his
snares and ruin them forever; and
some of our preachers refused to
give Communion . to those who car-
ried in their ears a pair of earrings
which, they declared, was a sure and
certain sign that they had sold them-
selves to the devil."
Of course that was a far away
'day, a day whosedoings would be
unbelieveable to the maids of 1946.
But ' even when it was • written a
quarter of a century ago, the skirts
and .bathing suits which were caus-
ing such .a fuss then, would cause a
big laugh in our day. -
But,, as we say, there is nothing •
new about the critical attention - an -
kind "pays to the clothes that women
wear or do not wear, when "fashion
dictates their reinovat Women have

Flock Psychology
Poultry authorities are stressing
the need for persistent culling of the
poultry flock, particularly at the pre-
sent time when feed is -scarce. Drones
in a flock are, always a liability not
only for the . feed they eat but also
for the example they set to the other
birds. Flock psycholany may have
greater business significance than is
realized. Drones have a depressing
effect on the production of the rest
of the flock.
'Enemies of Flax
The fact that flax is little damag-
ed by sawflies makes ita desirable
crop for areas where these insects
are prevalent. Wireworms also prac-
tically ignore the flax crop. Howev-
er, grasshopperti and, cutworms may
cause serious damage unless poison-
ed bait is distributed. Grasshoppers
are a frequent hazard,to flax because
they eat the small stems to which
the bolls are attached. These stems
may remain succulent'' after the other
cereal crops have become hard; and
mature,
Special Crops Are Important
Many people think of Canadian
crop production in terms of wheat,
oats and barley. There are, however,
a number of crops which occupy
smaller areas but contribute subetan-
tially to cash farm income in those
areas in which they are grown. These
include tobacco; augar beets, hybrid
corn, soybeans, -sunflower's, rape
seed, honey and' maple products.
'Sugar beets, for instance, are
grown in fairly well defined'`areas in
four provinces but favorable condi-
tions for production of this crop ex-
ist in other large sections of the
country. High labor requirements
and competition from intensive crops
restrict the" area of the sugar beet
crop. In Ontario, beets are grown in
Essex, Kent, Elgin, 'Middlesex and
Lambton Counties. The production
from this area was at one time the
sole Canadian .simply of beet sugar..
Factories are located at Chatham and.
'allaceburg. In recent years, how-
ever, the largest area in beets has
been - grown on irrigated land in
Southern Alberta. Commencing in
1940, Manitoba farmers began- produc-
ing this crop for processing in a new,
factory at Fort Garry. -Later another'
new factory, was built -at St. Hilaire
in Quebec" and, operation commenced
in 1944.
During ,recent years, and chiefly
since the outbreak of war, great pro-
gress has been made in mechanizing
the production of beets. In earlier
years, contract labor,. was employed
on a large scale. With the .shortage
Of labor in wartime,the pfbblem was
met in part by the utilization of pris-
oners of war ,but it had to 'be dealt

Is Renovating Garage s
Arable Soils of Canada '
Any statement of the extent of
Canada's • agricultural soil resources,
and particularly of her arable soil
resources, cannot be more than an
approximation until soil surveys
have been made • in all areas that
'ha -ye -agricultural -possibilities:
Soil surveys have been made of a
large percentage of Canada's present
agricultural areas,, and the informa-
tion given' by these surveys, together`
with that obtained from other sourc-
es, makes it possible to give an ap-
proximation that May- have a reaso i'
,able degree of reliability. Several
important physical:, features, decided-
l'y limit the possible extent of Can-
ada's arable soils. -A large portion
of the Dominion is covered with bare
rock and rough land. The Precam-j - Stag
briar- Shield alone • Occupies nearly , '
50 per cent of the total area of the Mr. 3. i eavie played host to twenty
"Dominion, the .Cordillera occfpl5s`
about 14 per cent, *011ie other rough
lands would bring the total area of
such. lands to 70, or 75 per cent.
It is true that important bodies of
agricultural land lie"within both the.
Precambrian Shield and the Cordil-
lera, but the great proportion of land
there is unfit for farming purposes.
Then there' are definite climatic bar-
riers -in the more northerly regions
and in the .drier parts of the open
prairies. Lastly , the great preva-
lence 'of swamps 2nd ,muskegs in
much of the forested lands definitely
cuts down the possible amount of
agricultural land:
According' to the 1941 census of
Canada, the area of occupied farm
land Was 175 million acral, of which
51 per cent,. or 89. .million acres in-
cluding improved pasture, was being
cultivated. Another 30 per cent, or
53 million acres, was ire prairie or
natural pasture. While no data were
given, it would seem that several
million acres of unoccupied land were
also being used for pasture purposes.
While all the land being cultivated
in Canada at the present time is not
first class land; there, is no doubt,
says Dr. Leahey, that it does include
the cream of the farm lands in Can-
ada. Probably at least 5 per cent.
of the present cultivated lands should.
bo retired 'permanently to grass or
woodland., but the remainder may be
considered as arable land if properly
managed,^ IVtime, moat of the poten-
tial- arable'Iande may be farmed' but

prairies in --the early years .of this.
