SEAFORTH, Friday, May 28, 1948 The Ontario Election The Ontario Provincial elections are only a week or so away, but the campaign up to this time has been a singularly quiet and uninteresting one. In fact, a commercial traveller asked us the other day if we were . holding an election in this riding, be- cause other ridings in Western On- tario did not seem to be holding any. That may be the way it looks, but looks may often be very deceiving. When the final results are in, the people of Ontario will be fully aware that there has been an Ontario elec- tion. What the results will be is any one's guess, and, no doubt, many are being made. But there are some factors that can be considered. For one, there is a complete unity in the Liberal party since Mr. Hepburn was eliminated in 1945. For another, the C.C.F. party is counting strongly on the re- vived Liberal strength to help it along, and in addition to its promis- ing everything up to a house and lot for votes. In the 1943 election the C.C.F. party received 410,000 votes, which gave them 34 members in the Legis- lature. But in the June election of 1945, while that party received only a few less votes than in, 1943, they only got eight seats in the House. The reason for this heavy loss was accounted for by the huge number of Liberal votes given to the Conserva- tives because of the split in the Lib- eral party. The result was that the Conservative majorities were so great that they won.65 out of the 90 seats in. the Legislature. If there is anything in the law of averages, that will not happen again, because with Mr. Hepburn out, the Federal and Provincial Liberal or- ganizations are united as,.. -.dile, -and the organization in Ontario Federal and Provincial ridings is being car- ried out by one Liberal organizer in each riding for both organizations. And the C.C.F. are counting on this as a fact. They feel sure that the Liberal voters who have come back to their party will make the go- ing so tough for Mr. Drew's candi- dates, that the C.C.F. candidates will be able to slip in between them. And that, too, is a possibility. Whatever the result, it looks very much as if the government major- ity - would be considerably reduced, and the Liberals would make gains. As for the C.C.F., they do not figure in the rural ridings, but in the cities and larger towns they may hold their own. • Rural Firefighting We notice that the town of Wat- ford haspurchased a new fire en- gine, which will be adaptable for - fighting rural fires as it has been the custom of the town brigade to fight fire in all the rural area surrounding the town. Alvinston, too, is secur- ing a similar fire engine to take care of their rural area. Nothing, however, was said as to what compensation these two towns would receive for furnishing fire protection to their rural areas. Rural fire protection has been an issue over a term of a great many years, but no serious effort has yet been made to settle it - Some towns have by-laws prohib- iting their firefighting equipment from leaving the town limits, but the greater majority have given as- sistance at rural fires when these oc- curred within a reasonable distance, because few men or bodies of men feel like standing idly by when a neighbor's premises are going up in coke, but the question of rural fire pro- cti+on is too serious to be 'left to a nth ental decisio t„ It might easily appon that when . h brigade was moi.... ..�.u,..w,a �u.1...au .Jwvc. ,_»_• .r .cn-.S,�.n .., • .� ,.. ! , _,,-.;.,_ fighting a rural fire, a serious CQU- # agraion might break out in the home town, and very great damage suffered before the town firefighting equipment could return. No town should: be asked to accept that riskwithout liberal compensa- tion, and that is a question that aris- es after every township fire attend- ed by a town brigade. Unfortunate- ly, however, the question is lost sight of in the course of a few days and remains dormant until the next fire. It seems reasonable to suggest that if the rural areas adjoining a town expect a.,town to provide fire protec- tion for them, they should either pay a substantial yearly sum for such service, or provide additional fire- fighting equipment for the town bri- gade. There are a few, but only a few, rural sections, like Brucefield, in our county that have organized a fire brigade and have provided fire equip- ment of their own. Several such bri- gades could be organized in every township, but it is not being done. The question is a serious one, be- cause in these days, when a farmer's barn or other buildings are destroy- ed by fire, he can no longer go to the back fifty to cut timber for new ones. At present-day costs of material and labor, even with insurance, a farmer could be financially crippled by the loss of his farm buildings. Yet it is an amazing thing that few farmers even carry what could be termed reasonable insurance on their prop- erty. Some day, possibly, they may awaken to a reality of the danger, but we hope that day will not be brought about by a holocaust. • Who Will Believe it ? Speaking of costs and production and world conditions as they are to- day, Bruce Hutchison, Associate Edi- tor of the Winnipeg Free Press, re- cently said some pithy things in a recent article ' in thatpaper. lie said: "We live today in the fal- lacy that we can all be rich if we only manage our affairs a little better and worked less. "With less than a schoolboy's knowledge of niathemat'cs, I have been jotting down a few figures which may err in detail, but are cer- tainly right in their general conclu- sion. "They show, even assuming that we can maintain our present fragile boom, that in Canada we have to- tal otal production of,goods worth about fourteen billion dollars a year. That is to say, something over $9 billions by the pre-war value of the dollar. "With our population, that works out at about $750 per head per year or $60 a month in pre-war dollars. And it assumes that we can consume everything we produce, which is ab- surd. A substantial part of the pro- duction must be set aside to maintain the existing machinery and to in- crease it. "Thus even at a time of highest prosperity, unequalled in history, we have about $60 a month per head in pre-war dollars; and no matter how the total wealth is re -distributed that is all there is to go around. Sixty dollars a month per head is more than any other people have ever had, except the Americans, who do a lit- tle better, but. it can hardly be con- sidered opuli e�,, "Any child fan see that there will be no more than $60 per month until the output of goods increases, though we may fool ourselves, as we are do- ing these days, by paying wages in devaluated dollars. But how many people are interested in increasing production by the -only possible meth- od, which is to work harder. The driving passion of American society, the central, sacred idea, the new religion which has largely re- placed Christianity, is the belief that we must all work less. The notion that we should work more has be- come the unforgiveable heresy of our time. "Any man who dares to say that we are basically poor now, that we annot possibly produce enough goods even in America to make us rich, that if we insist on trying to maintain even the prosperity we have while the rest of the world starves we shall have to fight for our advantage and lose everything—any , man who states the most obvious fact of our existence will never be public r elected to pub is office and probably p b y will be denounced as a fascist beast."

They are this for the concrete -locked people of the big cities, as well as the country people. Drop in to the nearest town or city.. and notice the way people seem to be happier and more alive when the fine weather is on. Here in Ontario, we have a lot 'to be thankful for, I was reminded of this by a friend of mine in the Mari- times who wrote recently. He said: "Sure, we have wonderful scenery in the Maritimes. It takes your breath away to go lip to Cape Breton at this time of year and wander down the Cabot Trail. Prince Edward Island in the summertime is a fairyland of beauty. Take New Brunswick in the fall when those hardwoods have turn- ed to bright colors and there are en- ough evergreens around for contrast, but you people have all that, plus better economic opportunities. .It makes me laugh when I heard people in Ontario complaining." I suppose we have scenic attrac- tions comparable to what my friend talks about. The Bluewater Highway running up to the Bruce Peninsula and Georgian Bay; the Kawartha Lakes, Muskoka, Lake Temagami in Northern Ontario, Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, and all those hun- dreds of beautiful little plates such By Hr►sy a. >sor>A to think about it, r as Elora that glitter like gems. This all ties in with something else I spotted. The Gallup Poll asked the question: "If you were free to live in any province in Canada, which one would you most like to live' in?" Well, seventy-four per cent of the people of Ontario saidthey were content to stay here. In other words; twenty- six per cent would wander. Thirty- eight per cent of the Prairie people said they wouldlike to leave. Thirty- th; ee per cent of the Maritime people would go from their natural place of abode. Seventeen per cent of the na- tives of Quebec would move, and on- ly twelve per cent of British Colum- bia residents wanted to move. Let's look now at the reasons. The people of Quebec liked the traditions and customs of their province. The residents of British Columbia were all pulling for their province because of the climate. Let's look at Ontario, however, with what my Maritime friend says is eq- ual to the best of what others have to offer in the way of scenic attractions and better economics as far as busi- ness success is concerned. You would naturally think that the people of On- tario would give the natural beauty and scenic attractions and good liv- ing as their reason for staying. In place of that, they suggest that _they want to stay because of the "business opportunities" in the province. • From The Huron Expositor June 3, 1898 On Wednesday evening last work"' men had, just completed the blocking up of Mr. Levis' barn, Hillsgreen, preparatory to, having a stone foenda- tion placed under it, and had not yet left the structure,' when the whole thing came tumbling down. -Mr. Jo Cochrane was struck by falling im- hers and was seriously injure' The building was badly wrecked.

Miss Mary MoGavin, of Walton, is visiting with Mr. Henry McGavin in Tuckersmith. Mr. George Murdie, of McKillop, has as nice a herd of heifers as we have seen. There are forty-two in the herd and not an inferior one in the lot. Mr. James McGregor, of the 2nd concession of Tuckersmith, has pur- chased from the noted Hereford breeder, Mr. Wm. Elliott, of near God- erich, a thoroughbred registered bull, 15 months old, and (judges say that it is as good an animal as ever came into the 'township. Mr. R. B. McLean, of Kippen, pur- poses in a few days going to the Old Country with his fat cattle. The following in McKillop are er- ecting new farm buildings or improv- ing old ones: Thomas Souter, a new brick house; James McCallum, new bank barn; Joseph Campbell, new house; Joshua Dennison, enlarging his barns; Sam Regele, new . brick house; Finlay McIntosh, a silo; Sam- uel Steet, stabling under ibis barns; Jacob Barrows, addition to his house, and many others in the district are making improvements on their pro- perties. • • A large crowd, gathered at Londes- boro on Monday afternoon to witness the laying of the cornerstone of the new Methodist Church.

During.. 1947 imports amounted to nearly five million bushels, largely from Canada, South Africa and Den- mark. In 1948 about the same quan- tity will be imported. The domestic acreage target for 1948 is 1,423,000 mpared with 1,330,000 in 1947, 1,423,000 in 1945 and 742,000, the av- erage for 1936-38. Yields were 290 million bushels in 1947, 3S1 million in 1946 and an average of 182 million in 1936-38. - .Drug For Lactation Barren cows and sterile heifers have been brought into milk in re- cent experiments at the Cambridge Agricultural Research Station, Eng- land. Average yields of up to 141 pounds of milk per week from 48 heifers have been obtained'after` treat- ment with stilboestrol. The drug is implanted in tablet form beneath the skin of the neck or shoulder of the animal under local anesthetic. The heifers came into milk from one to six weeks after implantation. At first the yields were low but they subse- quently rose steadily for some weeks. The tablets were left for periods of between 60 and 110 days, but 7.0 days was found to be the optimum period. After reaching the peak of 1.41 pounds a gradual deciine in yield took place until the heifers were yielding about 75 pounds in the twenty4iftlf week af- ter lactation had begun. Subsequent to this induced lactation 70 per cent of the heifers got in calf normally. Sterile dry cows also have been treat< ed with stilboestrol, but chances of success are not so good as with heif- ers. Supply of Oils, Fats, Still Short Serious shortages of olLs and fats to meet world requirements are -likely to continue through 1948, and indeed for some years to come, In 1947 ex- ports of oils and fats were only about three million metric tons against pre- war exports of five million metric tons. Ex -ports from ,all principal pro- ducing countries, .with the exception of North America and the -Phillip - pines, were less than pre-war, the most serious declines being in Man- churia and India. T. -hough exports in 1948 are estimat- ed at 3.9 million metric tons, it still leaves a serious gap between wprld supplies and world requirements. The countries which will suffer most from this scarcity are naturally those which normally import heavily and those whose domestic production has declin- ed drastically. Dehorn Calves Young Dehorning cattle is an, unpleasant job and the older the animal;, the harder it le both for the animal and the owner.

This method of dehorning calves is not only practicable on a farm with few cattle, but it has been used on ranches where several hundred calves arrive each spring. A close watch on the breeding herd is kept during the calving season, and the rider car- ries the dehorning paste or stick with him and applies it to every calf he locates on the range. Fertilizer—Organic Versus Chemical? It has been said, "There is no new thing under the sun," but this is on- ly partly true of fertilizers. Their use on the soil goes back many cen- turies, when hard wood ashes, sea- weed, lime and fish and animal re- fuse were used. Those who used them may not have known "the why," but they did find that they got in- creased yields from their crops. Sinee that time the scientist has taken a hand, and the kinds of fertilizer to suit both soil and crop have been de- signed, says G. W. Michael, Plants Products Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Fertilizers are generally known as chemical or organic, depending upon the kind of nitrogen materials in the mixture. In earlier times most fer- tilizers were organic mixtures, such as bone meal, blood meal or tankage. They were abattoir by-products that were reasonably cheap and at that time not used generally in feed mix- tures. These, along with nitrate of soda, guano, basic slag, superphos- phate and potash, made up most of the fertilizer materials. There was sufficient of them in the early days when fertilizers were not used so ex- tensively, but over the years the use of fertilizers has increased and some of the materials have become scarce and expensive. And so the scientist has produced chemical fertilizers which contain more actual •plant. food than the materials used previously. It is considered by some people that organic fertilizers are st7perior to chemical fertilizers because they add humus to the soil and break down more slowly. This, however, is a de- batable point. At the rate of applica- tion of organic fertilizers, the amount of humus added to the soil is Insig- nificant, and different crops require plant food at different times. Chemi- cal fertilizers generally are more sal- uble than the organic kind, particu- larly in cool weather. True they vary' ift solubility, but this enables mix- tures, to be made which release plant food over the growing Seatleb. Some .crops and soil mayneed organjo ma- terial, and manutact4nero plaice tures of this kind, blit-be'iause of the increased use of organic material in milted feeds, such fertilizer, tnixtui'es• are mare expensive ' than chemical imittttirda•. , . 5 ' 'L .4.
