. Co-operative ,
• We have, quite a healthy respect'
.for - the editorial opinions of the
'Financial Post, because althouoai '
they occasionally, show their politi-
cal bias, as a general rule they are
clear, -straight forward, and give a
well measured and timely resume of
Canadia,n and world events.
'I- However, in a • recent issue, when
discussing the recent conference. ' of •
•°Dominion and Provincial agricultur-
al officials, held in Ottawa, we think
it got somewhat.- off the, beam,
when it said: "The annual confer-
ences of .Dominion and Provincial
agricultural officials at Ottawa are
on doubtful ground when they, start
making specific recommendations as
tothe' number of acres a fa/mei-
. should 'sow; incertain crops, or, the
total Of livestock .he should raise. It
would have been wiser had the of- •
-ficials been content to assemble and
announce all the facts available about
supply, markets and international
needs, and let the farmer make his
• own plans as to how best he and his
plants could co-operate."
. Our understanding, after reading '
, many of 'these conference reports,
was that the agricultural representa-
tives were recommending .that very
•• thing to the farmers, - without any
- •-dietation -about it.. The farmer_ in
this county, and pretty much every-
-whe:re -else, is- one-person who- -dpes-
mot !OMR, to dictation, , or to being
told how to run his farm, a fact' that •
'agricultural • official§ know Only—too
'
Perhaps the farmer has, been too
individualistic in the past for his own
• good, and he is only now realizing' '
that fact. . It was to cure this fault,
we believe, that caused some of the
Most forwarding _looking among
their numbers to form an organiza-
tion of their own, like the Federation
of Agriculture.Thi new organiza-
tion has alreadygon fdirection to far s ,i he operation,
03'
1411ar, in giving
of their/am-1S With, the. objectiveof
. getting the very best results from his
labor. ,
But as_wg. see it, the aim of the.
'• Federation of Aviculture and other --
agricultural officials, is co-operation
with the fanner, and not dictation.'

Needs Enforcement-
An announcement was recently
made by the Highways Departinent
of the Ontario Government, that it
intended --to enforce the traffic laws
without partialty and in its most rig-
orous features.
The announcement is timely and
• the -Government deserves credit for
its action: As we have said at dif-
ferent times, traffic on our highways
• during •and since the war has had so
•Tit.* directidn that it has becdine
-7-exceed4ngly dangerous.. .
, The manpower. shortage during the
•vras, largely deprived the highways
• of .police patrols, and car and truck
• drivers have become a law ;unto
themselves. • Most cars are old and
tires are thin and scarce. That Calls
• for slow speed and careful driving.• •
But judging by appearances and
•
,experiericesrthe4rivera-ef-these-cara.-
o not believe it fora minute. •Speed
V' on the ,up and up, with the result
that accidents and -fatalities have
'reached an all-time,high.. •
• It -is time .to call a halt, and the
vernment is wise • in doing it.
ere -may still be a shortage in the
rariles' of the provincial &lice, but,
labor strikes' are, oier for the tilne

Telling The Ktng
There is a tradition'in Britain that. .
:the!$b41 which„the House of Com -
Mons paSses at, each session is that
"Tor the More effective preventing
•-clandestine outlawries."
It must come even, before the
"King's speech and is nothing more
than the House of Commons telling
, the King it has the right to begin
business; even before it knOws the
desires of His Majesty. •
Not since the eighteenth', century
until the present Session, has the bill .
.been debated in the House. But this
time an- attempt waS made by Mr..
Brown, of Rugby, to move. an amend-
ment. • The mover referred to the.
amendment of two centuriesago, but '
. got no further, as the =sympathetic
spe-aker brought him back to 1946.
The member for Rugby, however,
, is going to bring the matter up again
as he says he• sees a definite connec-
tion between "clandestine outlaw -
ries" and certain aspects of the "clos-
ed shop," a labor union hill before the
House.
, And that may be a rather emba• rl •
rassing 'moment for a Labor Union
Getvernment.

• .13etterUnderstanding
Canadian relations with our neigh-
bors to the south are now on perhaps
• a higher plane of understanding and
trust than they have ever been. And
there -is every -indication that that
• liking andtrust will increase.
Canadians; of course, . coinplain
that the Americans know absolutely
• nothing about Canada, and to a cer-
tain extent that is true. But if the
American outside of government cir-
cles and a,ming 'business interests,
does - not bother to know anything
• about Canada,' he has- Many times
been known to assert that Canadians.
-are more honest, more dependable, •
and more law-abiding than Airieri-
cans, and that they manage their'
government better.
• , On the other hand; ',Canadians do
knowa. great deal about the Ameri-
can and his country. And for this
there is a very -good reason. From
the very first, America -has been a
very powerful: nation compared to
our own. Twiee she tried to conquer
Canada,- ancldagain and again she has• -,
brought Us to the verge of ruin by .
her tariffs and other economical pOli-
• cies. And because the United States
has been a 'Menace; Canadians have
had to learn all they Could about that
country and its people. •
Hard things 'have been said on
-bOth.sides, but we doubt -very Much
• if for many years to coine,; we will
• again hear tAro statements as bitter
as those Made Som,e years ago, when
• the American c011ege sMdent said of
• Canadians: "It is with much respect
that Iay that it is t�� bad they are
• not further advanced th,an.they are
• at present. But they are gradually
becoming Americanized in -their ways
of living and working,. and it w-on't
be long before we will .be proud to
know inore Canadians." •
Tlie C'anadian 'said, of Ainericans:
-'"They refer to their- country as•
America as if they *ere the only nation on the Ainencan continent. Can-
ada is just as Mich America as is
the UnitediStates, although God for-
bid that we should ever call ourselves
,-bythat-nania after.itlas bemused
by those to the south for a century
or more."
The American has arways had a
sense of material superiority, :while
the Canadian pleads to al sense of
Moral superiority, but during the•
years Americans learned More
• about us than they ever knew before.
Still-b-ette-r,-th-erliked -us apd-'-otir
• ways. It is up to us to retain that
, liking and respeet:

' The rawenlaterial from which honey
and wax are made is nectar secreted
by flowers ,of a1 kinds and taken
from them by bees. Flowers are part
of the reproductive system of plants,
enclosing the stamens:Or the pistil
whiCh are the male and female organs
respectively. In many tarieties of
Warns the •litamene ancl pistil are
borne in separate:flowers or even en
separate plants, in others the two are
enclosed in a single „flower. So as to
bear fruit, seed or 'vegetable, pollen
must transferred from staraena to
the pistil. This'," they be done in
several ways ,beethe ehiet agents in
performing this service are inflects. Of
the insect agents the honey" bee is the
moat -important because ebe is th• e
only one of them whose -numbers can
be controlled and who can be leans
-
ported to pry: place where her sere
vices are required. • ,
• The transfer of pollen from Stamens
to, pistil is termed -Pollination which
In iteelf. Is not safficient, fertilization
must follow. In many cases, especial -
Ly in frutit-bearing plants'the flowers
of one plant cannot' be fertilized by
pollen of the sante plant -self
poflina-
tion--consequent1y pollen'. Must -be
brought to it from some other plart
of the same species, Cross Pollieation,
before fruit or seed can be formed.
Cross pollination is considered to In -
cease production Oren though the
•'flower is capable of self ,Pellination.
The honey bee, spending, most of'
her active life among the flowers and
gathering practically all of her sup -
piece from them is, the -most' active
and efficient agent in transeerring
pollen from eone flower' to • another.
