Difficulties were being experienced in marketing, that eless of bacon to Great Britain. In 1921, a National Swine Conference was convened to review the swipe sit- uation. The conference: recommended -that a grading system be set up as a means towards the -improvement of commercial hogs, and one important outcome of the . conference was that an agreement was arrived at between the'producers and the packers for the payment` of. a premium .fpr "Select" or, top grade hogs. In October, 1922, standards,,for live grading of hogs were established under the authority of the Livestock and -Livestock . Pro- ducts Act, and thus was established what might be termed a°,."National Swine 'Policy:" Carcass grading of hogs, said Mt'. Hancock, has proved 'to be.` one means by which a farmer -is aid for the quality of the product he markets and fie is also in a• position to know from the returns he receives bow his ef- forts are meeting market require- ments. It is the consumer who actu- ally sets the standard 'arid 'the grad- ing policies interpret that standard to the producers of the raw material, No Finish Likely of Farm Horse - Those who may entertain the idea that the 'horse will eventually become obsolete as a.source of farm power in - Canada are- entirely wrong, "according" to Prof. Grant McEwan, Professor or Animal , Husbandry, University o'f sasiratcheivan, Saskatoon.

Insect Survey in Far Northwest In the course of a visit of inspec- tion •of the• Northwest Territories to check on the prevalence ` of insects, insect control, and incidentally of vegetable producti.on,., crdps, markets and .other related agricultural condi- tions, Alan G. Dustin, Division of En- tomology, Science Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, compiled much valuable Information.. On the journey north the places visited were Fort. Smith, Fort Resolution, Hay R,i '-, er, Yellowknife, Port Radiuni, Fort Norman, Fort Good Hope, Aklavik, and the Reindeer Settlement on the Mackenzie Delta. On the return jour- ney up the Mackenzie River. Fort MacPherson, Norman Wells, Fort Simpson, Trout River, Fort Provi- dence and other points 'were the plac- es inspected. Due to accommodation difficulties some rights were' spent 'in R.C.M.P. barracks, boat houses; lams,- dries, ams,dries, igloos; airport bunkhouses, and other unusual places. - As it happens insects are most num efous in the Northwest Territories in years of drought. This year, the sea- son has, been 'a comparatively wet one, so Mr:. Dristan' found that insects in gardens were extremely rare.,. In fact no insects were found in any gar- den until Fort Simpson was reached on the return journey when grasshops pers were discovered invading- gar- dens and the red turnip beetle ap- peared on -a, variety of plants. The only 'explanation 'of 'the general sear- city of insects, says Mr. Dustan, was that the season was a relatively Wet one and most gardeners stated that insects were of importance only dur- ing seasons of drought. Traces of in- sect damage were discovered at Fort Smith where the- work of cutworms was evident, and•at one or two settle- ments where injury by the cabbage maggot could be detected. - In discussing insect conditions in the average years with the growers, pie story right along the Linn' seemed to vary very iittle. Grasshoppers in most cases were .regarded as insect enemy No, 1, with- the red !turnip beetle 'a• close second. Then followed cutworms, cabbage maggot, and the imported cabbage worm which.eaused 'considerable damage 'to Crus gerous crops, of which many varieties' are grown in the North. ' There appeared to be no insects at- tacking potatoes, and, says Mr. Dus- tan, it was a strange sight to one from' it, to see this crop grow- ing fresh and green without any evi- dence of insect damage, although no spraying and dusting had b'ee$ 'C'ar, tied htit .Alt":tire gt - rg haVesti 'dp is teeplaint the ,tntatoestri -t ae Ispi'#'pti and is tlietiiii tiafE ill the ld4'il` r�ttsii O 4 Withbut'a Country . Much has been Written- about the needs and sufferings of Europe's re- fugees—men, women and children dis- placed from,the'ir"'homes fol' religious or political reasons, or a'combination of both—very little' effective help has been given. The problem ,of the re- fugee is •not a new one in the world but since the riae of totalitarian gov- ernments it has become many -times larger than ever before. There are many things that can be done to al- leviate their sufferings—some of them are being done—but there is only one final .answer: Countries tha't have space and resources must takethem: iris;, It 'is today's greatest 'challenge to. humanity, a particular challenge to those who have accepted the Chris- tian faith. • The• • League' of Nations, after the first world war—on much pressure- appointed, in 1921, a High Commis- sioner for. Russian refugees', a "Dr. Nansen. He was appointed without salary and with only a small sum` for ex-penses••rwhich he had to augment by private subsetriptions—and with- out help from the governments with which he was concerned. A "Nansen Passport," recognized by 51 governs ments, was issued to those who -had been deprived of their citizenship by the Russian Government. Twenty thousand refugees' were distributed to 45 different countries in less than two' Seed Potatoes might' be grown with success• in the 'Territories_. • • One of the surprises in the North- west •Territories is the number and extent • of some wonderful gardens, ranging from -10 •feet square to 14 ac - rest' also the dumber of greenhouses was remarkable. Most of • the crops were excellent and undoubtedly were g'rve.n great care by their owners. But there is need. for a. planned 'course of insect: control. ,Owing to the great dis- tances and the naturally high fre:ght charges, insecticides are practically unobtainable locally. and spraying equipment is. virtually non-existent. Hence little 'can be done in .the way of insect control' When outbreaks oc- cur. i;. years. In 1924 -the work was extend- ed to Armenians, in 192g to Assyr- ians, Chaldeans and Turks, and -in 1935 'to Saar Valley refugee, 'when. thaba country was returned tri •Ger- many. There was..some hope that the end of• the problem -and- the ',human suffering—was in sight .until, in de- fiance. of..the League of Nations, .Tap: anese aggression against China in 1931. The stream of refugees sudden- ly swelled into a deluge. James G. MacDonald, of the • American foreign. policy., association, was ;appointed Regugees High Commissioner in 1933 after the death of Dr. Nansen and the resignation of his successor. He re-, signed in 1935 in a letter"which stat- ed, with. tragic :eloquence, the hope- lessnesg of the refugees plight, with totalitarian mations on the aggressive and the League unable to stop them or to mobolize •the other nations be, hind active measures to help those 'who were forced to flee: from their homes. . - Every Canadian's Business The years since .1935 'have been, among the most unhappy in all hu than history measured in the suffer- ing and degradation of human beings.

Slaughtering Meat Because of a misunderstandfng of slaughtering regulations the regional office of the Wartime • Prices and Trade Board issued a statement clar ifying these regulations which are 'de-. fined' in Board Order 615: ' . , •' Board officiais said" that a farmer may slaughter ,for himself but •when doing so he must register with his local ration beard and 'surrender cou- pons for ttie meat that he • has ob, tained from the slaughtering, . It was pointed out that it a farmer does not do the slaughtering for him - bon Fleming, one of Toronto's Pro •gressive Conservative members, sug- gested that,as the C.0.E'. were giving consistent support to the government, Mr. Coldwell should become its lead- er. The next item was a' statement by Mr. Coldwell, at a C.C.F. meeting in Regina, that he had refused the Liberal leadership. Challenged on this in the House by Hon. Mr. Gard- iner, Mr. Coldwell admitted that he had not been offered it "officially" ori by any member of the government or parliameut.
