SEAFORTH, Friday, March 12th
• Liberal Convention
The National Liberal convention
will be held in Ottawa on August
5th, 6th and 7th. This is the first
gathering of Canadian Liberals in
29 years, as it was on August 7th,
1919, at Ottawa, that W. L. Macken-
zie King was chosen leader of that
party.
If the next convention is as suc-
cessful in its choice of a party lead-
er, Liberalism will be a dominating
force in Canadian and, world poli-
tics for two generations or more. It
would, perhaps, be wide of the mark
to say that Mr. King was a popular
idol in the sense that Sir John A.
MacDonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier
were, but both friend and foe must
acknowledge that his long tenure of
office as leader of his party, and his
record tenure of the Premiership of
Canada, have' kept not only his party
in the forefront, but have brought
the Nation successfully through the
greatest stress and danger to which
it has ever been exposed.
Mr. King is now definitely retir-
ing from the leadership of his party
and the Premiership of the Domin-
ion, so that the coming Ottawa con-
vention, at which both a party lead-
er and a Premier will be chosen, will
prove a memorable event in Cana-
dian history..
There is no dearth of leaders in
the Liberal party, and a number of
names, all prominent in Parliament,
are being mentioned and promoted.
But it is generally believed that the
immediate successor to Mr. King will
be Hon. Louis St. Laurent, Minister
of External Affairs. Mr. St. Laurent,
although he has only been in the
House a very few years, is one of
the most able debaters in either
French or English, and few mem-
bers have ever impressed the House
of Commons to the same extent in
such a short time. He is the type of
Laurier, and coming from Quebec,
as he does, would hold a strong ad-
vantage over his opponent.
It is a case, however, of the posi-
tion seeking the man, rather than
the man seeking the position. Mr.
St. Laurent gave up one of the most
lucrative law practises in Canada to
enter the Government at the earnest
request of Mr. King during the war
years, and it is said that he would
very much prefer to retire from pub-
lic life. On the other hand, if he was
the unanimous choice of the conven-
tion, it is quite possible he would ac-
cept, at least for a time. He is now
66 years of age.
Others prominently mentioned for
the leadership are Hon. Douglas
Abbott, Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Hon.
Brooke Claxton, Hon. Paul Martin
and Hon. James Gardiner, all able
men, experienced Parliamentarians,
and with the exception of Mr. Gard-
iner, men of middle age. All have
their followers, but it is believed that
Mr. Ilsley would receive the most
support from the House itself. The
convention, however, will make the
decision, and interest in that deci-
sion will be intensely increased as
the weeks go by.
•
What Goes Up, Etc.
There is an age old saying, That
what goes up, most come down. That,
• apparently, is what the, farmers
across the line are now finding out.
Farm income in the States, which
has been soaring month by month to
new record heights, has taken a
downward skid because of the com-
modity market break over there a
few weeks ago.
The drop in prices farmers receiv-
ed are shown from the middle of
Jandlliy as compared to those of
mid,,February. Hogs, $26.70 per
• Inindredweight, went down to $21.60;
beef cattle from a$21.50 average for
gradeis and classes, -dropped to
• $19.50; lanibs from $22,50 to $10.70;
and veal calves from $24.40 to $23.00.
•The Department of Agriculture
officials, in charting the effect of the
•recent eonntodity shinip on farm in-
c me, report that farmers have not
suffered such a sharp drop in values
since 1920 and 1921.
It is not very long ago that Cana-
dian farmers 'were lambasting the
government for not letting the Brit-
ish shipments go by the board, and,
not allowing grain and stock ship-
ments to the United States, where
fortunes could -be made overnight.
Perhaps the sure, long-term mark-
ets will look a little better and con-
siderably safer for a while at least.
•
Liquor Profits
The monopoly of all monopolies,
the liquor monopoly, which the Prov-
inces have taken unto themselves,
are real money makers as some re-
cent figures from the West would
seem to show.
Two weeks ago in Alberta, officials
estimated that the Province would
net ten million dollars from beer,
wine and hard liquor in the year
ending March 31st. This will up the
profit by $300,000 over 1946-47, and
be twice the pre-war profit.
The other Western Provinces were
not doing too badly either. Saskat-
chewan was counting on a profit of
$7,500,000 from its liquor monopoly,
and Manitoba fully expected to clear
$6,500,000.
Those are pretty fancy returns,
but whether the taxpayers receive
the full benefit of this easy money is
something else again. At least they
are not all satisfied as evidenced by
the complaint of one citizen of Al-
berta, who explained "an average
bottle of rye costs the Government
only $1.70, and they sell it to us for
four bucks."
' If that man had lived down in On-
tario he could have strengthened his
complaint by saying that here, re-
gardless of price, they add consider-
able soft water to the contents and
charge 16 cents an ounce for the
water.
On the whole, however, the West-
ern Provinces seem to be putting
their profits to good use. In Mani-
toba, they have been a material help
to reduce the provincial debt in eight
years from a peak of $130,000,000 to
$104,000,000. And Saskatchewan's
Provincial Treasurer, Mr. Fines, Said
the liquor profits were being used to
extend provincial health and welfare
programs.
•
The Price of Coal
Recently the coal miners' strike in
Alberta was settled by giving the
miners a considerable increase in
wages. Now it is announced that
the price of coal throughout the West
is going to be upped $1.00 per ton.
This is but another illustration of
the effects of _wages on commodity
prices. The miners get an increase
in wages, and up goes the price of
coal automatically.
Last January when Mr. King told
the House that price control is not
possible without wage control, he
told the plain truth. Those like Mr.
Coldwell who are trying to persuade
the people of Canada that there can
be price control without wage con-
trol, really do not deserve any more
trust than they have lately received.
And even Mr. Coldwell and his fol-
lowers have been back-pedalling on
this question since the Socialist Gov-
ernment of Great Britain, which
they are always holding up to the
people of Canada as a model, found
it imperative to raise the price of
coal in that country to raise the
money to pay the increase in the
miners' wages, which it had previous-
ly granted.
•
Just Like March
It is just like March to give us
bright, sunshiny weather on its first
day's appearance, and then turn
round and serve up, zero weather,
rain and snow in turns, and some-
times all mixed together.
There is no doubt but that March
can display the meanest disposition
of any month in the year, but surely
even March can't keep dishing up
this ldnd of weather indefinitely. We
have already had nearly four months
of cold winter weather, and al-
though it has been a good winter as
winters go in this country, most
people are beginning to figet a bit,
and worry a little too.
If this weather keeps up much
longer, how are we going to keep
warm? The coal and the oil have
pretty nearly become a minus quan-
tity, and um Itydro is running out.

"CALENDAR ART"
We hear a lot about art nowadays.
City folks are becoming interested in
the country folks, and bemoaning the
fact that we haven't an appreciation
•of good art and such things. We have
an appreciation for art, and that in-
clination towards brightening up our
homes with pictures is never. more
apparent than after that time known
on the farm as "housecleaning."
Housecleaning time comes between
the last of the snow and the general
trend towards seeding. Windows are
opened and as you drive along the
road, it's quite common to see a lady
with a towel wrapped around her
head as a dust protector knocking
the dust out of a mop from the up-
stairs window. On the clothes lines
of the Ninth Concession rag carpets
and mats are flapping in the breeze,
waiting for oneofthe men -folks to
be conscripted into beating them.
Water is a -boiling on kitchen .stoves
all over the township. You can tell
it's housecleaning time, because it
takes so long for the receivers to
click on the party line. Usually folks
are busy scrubbing the floor and it
takes time to dry hands . • . or else
come from upstairs. .
But the confusion will soon be ov-
er and the furniture back in place,
and the front parlor closed up again
to wait for the first visitors. The
place is shining with new-found glory.
The dust has all been removed and
the men folks breathe a sigh of re-
lief.
Which all up to topic.
When the housecleaning is over, it's
time to think about pictures. From
an upstairs trunk, last year's calen-
dars are carefully removed and un-
rolled. The lady of the household

ing up our homes with calendar pic-
tures. Lush English garden scenes
have been favorites for years, al-
though the occasional tropical picture
with a romantic tropical moon and
waving palm trees have found their
way to our walls.
Mother used to always favor the
pictures of children and dogs. The
family was instructed late in Decem-
ber to remind Father on every trip to
town to get all the calendars he
could. A list was made of the hotel,
grist mill, grocery stores and so on.
The man who hedged on giving out a
calendar was practically blacklisted
for business for a year.'
How scandalized Mother was that
first year when Father brought home
a picture given out by the village Bil-
liard Emporium. It showed a saucy
.damsel with a neat portion of frilly
petticoat showing. The picture was to
be burned, and the calendar pad sav-
ed for notes. Somehow or other it
found its way out to the milk house
where it lasted for two weeks until
finally Mother made a raid on a
Spring clean-up day and the calendar
was no more.
What would happen today if Mother
could see the scanty costumes worn
by the ladies displayed on the auto-
mobile accessory calendars?
The binder twine and farm imple-
ment calendars usually went to the
stable, the milk house and the driv-
ing shed. Father made weird scrawls
on the pad which nobody could trans-
late but himself. The right month
was very seldom, if ever, shown . . .

ed to keep the pad torn off up to
date.

Hog Marketings Show Increase
Hog marketings in Eastern Canada
were higher in the first month of
1948 than in any previous January.
For all Canada, marketings- were
about 590,000, or 47 per cent. above
those of January, 1947. This all -Can-
ada total was, however, exceeded in
January of 1942, 1944 and 1945. In
Western Canada, with marketings
just short of 300,000, the increase was
46 per cent above that of January a
year ago. During several years in
the past, however, January hog mar-
ketings in British 'Columbia and the
Prairie Provinces have been higher.
Marketings in Eastern Canada have
never been greater in any January of
former years. They hit a new Janu-
ary peak of more than 290,000, a gain
of nearly 49 per cent above January,
1947. The Maritime Provinces mar-
keted nearly 14,000 hogs, that is,
nearly treble the number marketed
there the previous January. Quebec
ran to nearly 90,000, that is, nine bogs
for every four in January, 1947. On-
tario's all-time January high was
186,000, about five hogs, for every
four in January, 1947.
Commenting on this record hog run
for the month of January, Dominion
Department of Agriculture officials
say it does not indicate /serious liqui-
dation of pigs. The proportion of
sows—one in 30—was identical with
that of January) 1947. There has been
a tendency recently to market lighter
'hogs but thie was less marked in Jan-
uary than in November or Decem-
ber.
It is possible, however, that the
high, Jamiary totals may indicate a
greater tendency for producers to
Market through inspected and ,approv-
ed packing plants rather than through
country butchers. This tendency may
arise froth lower domestic eenisarap-
tion and the desire of producers, to
obtain government premiums. Whe-
ther this is true or not, hog Munhers
increased dttring /947, and heavy mar-
ketingmay continue right througlt
the spring and early summer months.

the development of Canada and es-
pecially its production and distribu-
tion of seed, have necessitated occa-
sional revieinns. A new Seed Con-
trol Act was passed in 1911 and in
the 1923 revision the name was
changed to the Seeds Act. It was
revised in 1937 and the Act passed in
that year is now in force. It is ad-
ministered by Plant Products Divi-
sion, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture.
Canada is the only country in the
world which has developed a system
of marketing practically all farm pro-
ducts under grade names. For ex-
ample, grain is marketed under grade
and these grades are well known and
accepted with confidence in all coun-
tries, Eggs are marketed under grade
and the consumer is now so confident
of getting an edible egg when he
buys by grade that he eats more eggs
per capita than in any other country.
A number of other examples could be
given and it is in line with this gen-
eral principle that most farm,, garden
and lawn seeds are marketed under
grade name.
Canadians can buy seeds by grade
with assurance that they will get
what they order.
