Stalled Again
-'`wice this month motor traffic of
every kind has been completely Stall- -
ed by the weather man. Highways
and cancessian roads had., just been
excavated from their blankets of
snow and drifts, when a new storm
blew over the district on Saturday,
and by Sunday roads and highways
in every direction out of town were
filled in again and traffic came to a
dead- stop.
On Monday the plows opened a
tunnel on the main highways, east
and west, but it. was the .middle of
the week before •there was any move-
ment on north and south roads, and
even then motorists were taking a
-chance, as too Many drivers found
out.
Modern motorized snowplows own-
ed by the county and townships have
done a good job in opening the main
streets of travel, but it would take a
hundred plows and an army of men
to free the township roads. Conse-
quently those living on the back con-
cessions will have a better opportun-
ity of again becoming acquainted
with their homes and families than
they have had in many winters past.
However, February is over today;
the sun, when it shines, has much
more heat in - it, and ..the . days are
considerably .longer. Of course,
March„ the meanest , month of .the
year, has yet to come.: And anything
in the . weather line can happen in
March, particularly when roads and
highways for some milesevery
direction, are : but .tunnethrough
banks of snow from six to ten feet
high.
But we have taken it many times
before, and survived. But now we
are so impatient. ' Only a few need
-Co go any particular place, in any
particular hurry. But every one of
us wants to be on the move. What is
all the hurry about anyway?
IP
The Hon.' Mr. Kellen Is Right
hi a :recent speech Han. Russell T.
Kelley, Minister of Health in the On-
tario Government, criticized the City
of Toronto for grabbing up all the
new industries, at the expenseof the
smaller Ontario communities, and
said that if Toronto did not get any . -
iliore new industries for the next few
years, it might possibly do something
to cure the impossible housing situa-
tion in that city. In fact he referred
to that city as Hogtown.
That put the fat right into the fire
as far as Mr. Kelley was concerned
in Toronto. The Globe and Mail was
particularly incensed, . and it and
some other papers have been de-
manding of Mr. Drew that he close
his minister up. These papers said. a.
lot of other 'things about Mr: Kelley -
too, none of them very compli-
mentary, and some of them not true:
Outside' of Toronto, and particu-
larly in the smaller places of Ontario,
Mr. Kelley is looked upon not only
as a capable and competent Minis-
ter, but ,.a most humane one. " He is
always at.' the serviceof the small
community; ready to talk to them;
to consult with them, and his servic-
es have been. accepted and appreciat-
ed.
But because of his willingness, to
serve, to talk and explain the work-
ings of his government, and because
he is a Conservative Cabinet Minis-
ter in a Conservative Government,
a.very Conservative city, the Globe
and Mail contends he has no right to
say' things about Toronto. No right
to say anything at all.
We 'do not -believe that 'the rest f:of
Ontario; particularly those,commun-
ities that have, had the pleasure of
hearing Mr. Kelley's instructive ad-
dresses (and they are many) hold any -
such opinion., In fact;' we believe
that -in -those ' quarters he is looked
'upon. as the" • nl .° artieulate-
the . ; y,member,

re is, of course, no silence on
part of Premier, Drew on the
faults, and failings of the Dominion
Goverunient; the failure of that Gov;
ernment tocall another D►o#111110i -

In -spite of Toronto, the Globe. and

es, we believe the Hon. Mr. Kelley is
doing the work he was elected to do.
and for which he is being paid. And
making'a right good job of it too.

Profitable Business
Few people realize .what a profit-
able business the tourist trade is, or
the amount of money it puts into the
pockets of the people of Canada.
Last week the Dominion Bureau .,
of Statistics reported that 5,250,000
tourists visited the Dominion of Can-
ada last year. And in additioix to
this total there were the uncounted
millions . of transients whose visits
lasted less, than a day.
Most of •these visitoiS travelled by
car, but 715,000 came by train, 340,-
000
40,-000 by boat, 310,000 by bus, and 100,-
000 by plane.
The money spentby, these' travel-
lers' during their stay in Canada is
given by the Bureau as $212,000,000,
which is seven per cent, over the
previous record year' of 1929,, ...But
the outstanding feature of the travel
business, is that all but $5,000,000 of
this money came from the pockets of
United States -"tourists.
And the war is just over and recon—
struction is just getting under way.
f
U. S. Farms Larger
According to the American Bureau
of Agricultural Economics the rapid
strides that mechanization hasmade
in the past generation has resulted in.
a phenomenal increase in the number
of large farms in that country.
The report puts the increase. at
45,000, or two-thirds; since 1920,
12,000 in the last five years. Though
the number of larger farms has : in -
Creased in all regions, the biggest
jump has been in the West -90 per
cent. in 25 years.
The report also states that the -'
average farm for, the country as a
whale now is 50 acres larger than 25 . o
years ago, and 20 acres larger than
fiveyears ago, while over half of the
farm land in the 'country is in farms
of over 500 acres compared to only a
third in. 1920 .
Farms 'aver, '.1,000 acres now .ac-
count for 40 per cent. of the farm
land . compared with less than a
f ourth' 25 years ago. '
Canada is farbehind its neighbor
in the use of mechanized farm labor
saving machinery, principally -be-
cause such 'machines' are not : avail-
able to the farmers of this country,
but they are on their way and there
is quite the possibility that when
their use becomes available there
will be a -similar trend towards larg-
er farms in Canada again, .particu-
larly in the Western Provinces.
The Radio In Russia
• The latest and best information
the United States Government has
on ,the number of radio receiving
sets in Russia is: •
There are 11,.000,000.' receivers in
the nation.
Half of these are .public loud-
speakers and multi -receiver sets set
for Soviet broadcasts only.
Before the • vvar there were 2,000
short wave receiving sets 'registered
as privately owned.
Between 500,000 and 1,000,000
radio sets were brought home by
Soviet soldiers from occupied terri-
tories, and 'about half of these. have
'short wave bands..
Some 325,000 new *sets were distri-
biited last year, " according'' to the
government. -
The current five-year ;Plan calls
for the production of 925,000 sets a
year.
At least the Russian soldiers got
something out of the war besides
blood, sweat and tears, but even at
that, with 'some two hundred times
the population, it *ill take some time
before Russia catches' up with Can-
ada on the radio.

Food Export Polity of Canada in War
In an article in "Foreign Agricul-
ture," Frank Shefrin, Economics Divi-
sion, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture, writes on Canada's • wartime
Agricultural Export Policy; ranging
through the administration of exports,
export control, mutual aid, wartime
changes in foreign markets, food com-
mitinents "to •Great Britain, contracts
trading
for non,ood products to post -ware -f.
The value of Canadian exports of
farm products more than -tripled in
the' six years from, 1939 to 1945, he
states•. Exports were planned and
new administrative machinery was
established :to facilitate the move-
ments of farm products out of Canada.
Wartime planning for Canadian ex-
ports of agricultural products' covered
not only the establishment of export
quotas for materials in scarce supply
but also a number of related polipie's
which attempted -to direct Canadian
exports, to particular destinations and
areas,
The extent and 'detail of the plan-
ning, were increased by the obligation
on Canada's part. to share a portion
of the burden of '.supplying .liberated
areas in Europe and Africa. The whole
program developed step by; step as
war shortages. became more. serious
and extended to more and more com-
modities. In regard to mutual ' aid,
the food's -Canada sent out, other than
to its troops, went to three groups of
countries—the Allies,, friendly or neu-
tral nations, and re -occupied countries.
Food transferred ;to any nation 'was
sold under the .usual terms of trade,
or shipped under •a 'billion dollar gift
and later under the Mutual Aid.• Act.
The actual transfers to any country
were usually on • the- basis of some
form' of 'agr°eement that outlined'
terms of sale or tli'e .terms of "Mutual
Aid,'
Expenditures from the Mutual' Aid
.Appropriation on food supplies (ex-
cluding fish) sent overseas druring
April -March, 1943-44, to 1944-46, total-
led $331,491,000 (Canadian). Of this,.
$289,201,000 covered' foodstuffs sent to
the.United Kingdom, the largest it-
em of Which wee bacon amounting to
$133,751,000. The expenditure• for
foodstuffs sent to the U.S.S.R. totalled
$22,705,000, most of which• was for
shipments during 1944-45; largely of
hour, lard, and wheat. . Wheat to
New Zealand represented $963,000;' all
of which was expended during 1944-45.
For wheat; flour and Seed potatoes
sent to Fraifee,'°'a total of $8,291,000
was reported, for wheat to India,
$5,575,000; and for flour_ to the British.
West Indies; $4,756,080. ' -
Bee Equipment.,
Timely warning to . beekeepers to
have alt equipment required • for -the
donning season's Work put in readiness
before it is actually needed in given

itt, Tile active season usually 0051-

winteror early spring,
All' equipment on hand, he says,
should be gone over and put into pro-
per working condition. If new equip-
ment is needed, it should,ebe ordered
at once and put together early. In
ordering hives or hive equipment, it•
is particularly economical to buy`.them
in the flat, in crates OP 'five. The ma-
terial is .cut to standardsize and
ready far assembling. If the beekeep-
er is handy with tools and good lum-
ber is available, it is cheaper some-
times to make the' hive 'bodies, floor
boards, covers, and stands, using a
standard hive as a model.
Export Seeds To Be, Free Of Controls
Foreign trade in Canadian seeds will
return to an unrestricted pre-war bas-
is at as early a date as circumstances
will permit, said J. W. MacKay, Asso-
ciate Chief, Plant Production Servic-
es, Dominion Department of Agricui
ture, in - era address to the annual
Registered' Meeting of the Ontario
Crop Improvement Association at To-
ronto recently., Partial • export con-
trols, he explained, • were being con-
tinued- not because of lowered seed
produption, but due to .increased do-
mestic consumption and heavy de-
mand .frem countries in short supply.
-Export' permit control was retained
on- the following seeds because of
•special• circumstances:
Peas and beans, because of the ap-
plication of ceiling prices and a come,'
mi.tment to provide substantial quan-'
tities 'of these 'seeds to the United
Kingdom, for edible 'purposes; alfalfa,
alsike, white clover,' red .clever 'and
Kentucky Blue grass, whose .proper
distribution is controlled under inter-
national allocation; cereal,, grains and
oil-bearing seeds, because- of the close
relationship of their seed grades, and,
feed grades and with Canada 'short of
livestock feed,
Apple. Butter ';•
Apple butter, while it has never
had much popularity in Canada, is
