Things About .Canada
Some high government officials
have recently been attempting to
give the people in the United States
some facts and figures about Canada.
These were Mr. Abbott, Minister
of Finance, and Mr. Donald Gordon,
Deputy Governor of the Bank of
Canada, both of whom delivered not-
able speeches recently before Ameri-
can audiences.
Mr. Gordon spoke before the influ-
ential advertising sales clubs of the
United States and Canada, who met
in joint convention in Cleveland, and
his facts and figures came as a de-
cided surprise to even some Cana,
dians, who understand so little about
the achievements of Canada.
He, for example, estimated Cana-
dian loans and gifts to foreign
countries at $1.9 billions of dollars,
which would compare in terms of
national resources to the $34 billions
loaned by the United States.
Canada, said Mr. Gordon, has the
largest electric power production per
capita in the world. On a per capita
basis, Canadian hydro development
is five times that of the United States
and so are the power resources still
left in Canada to be developed. The
Shipshaw hydro development in Que-
bec is the largest producer of elec-
tricity in the world.
The new Leduc oil field in Alberta
is said by geologists to be one of the
richest in America. In the tar sands
in Northern Alberta, which only
await chemistry to solve, is more oil
than all the world's other reserves in
the world combined.
On the Quebec -Labrador boundary
there is iron ore comparable to the
largest range in the United States.
Canada produces four times the
amount of newsprint produced in the
States, which is the second largest
producer. In relation to national in-
come capital investment in Canadian
industry is a third higher than simi-
lar investment in the United States.
These facts should be known by
every school boy, but are such things
ever taught in our schools, or how
many adult Canadians are aware of
them? Consequently, if we are go-
ing to keep on hiding our light under
a bushel, it is not surprising that
there are more than a few thousand
of Americans who do not know any-
thing aflout Canada at all.

Newfoundland Stays Out
It looks very much as if Canada
would have to be content with the,
present nine Provinces which make
its total. In the referendum held in
Newfoundland last Thursday, only
some forty per cent. voted in favor
of union with Canada, while 45 per
cent. wished to go back to the kind
of responsible government which
was in force until some years ago,
when financial difficulties forced a
British commission to take over.
The vote was so indecisive, how-
ever, that a second referendum must
be held in order to secure a working
majority for either responsible gov-
ernment or union with Canada, and
this possibly will be held this sum-
mer. ,
We are too far away to hear the
din of battle, but judging by news-
paper and other reports, the recent
referendum was a fierce fight, and
carried on much in the same manner
as the election in 1869; when Confed-
eration was defeated.
In the recent referendum those
who favored Confederation .were
called "Quislings," and Canadians
Vloredescribed as greedy foreigners.
There was also much waving of the
+ It d rAnd of personal abuse there
p1'enty.
Fort !nateljr, Canada did not take
any part in the bitter fight or try in
any way to intervene. In fact, Can-
ada, possibly would be much better
off without Newfoundland. A new
Province that held almost a half
percentage of bitter opponents to
Union would not tend to bring either
peace or prosperity to our nation.
In the meantime, the bitterness of
the referendum fight has brought
business to a complete standstill
throughout the country, and the na-
tives are getting pretty well fed up
with the fighting. •

Members And Speeches
An Associated Press despatch from
Washington last week on Members of
Congress and their speeches, is very
interesting and illuminating:
Congressman Jones gets up and
says, "Ladies and gentlemen, on this
historic occasion ..."
Terrific speech. Full of dates,
names, and things that happened 100
years ago. How does he remember
all that or have time to look it up?
Or—
Congressman Smith gets up in the
House. No prepared speech. Just
notes in his hand. He talks off the
cuff.
Terrific talk. Full of facts and fig-
ures. Must know the subject inside
out.
Maybe.
But maybe someone wrote the
speech for Mr. Jones. And maybe
someone looked up the facts and fig-
ures which Mr. Smith read off his
notes.
This does not mean that there are
no Congressmen who write their
own speeches or look up their own
facts.
But a lot of them get help, even to
having their speeches written 'for
- them and their facts handed to them.
A lot of this kind of ammunition
comes from a group of about a hun-
dred people inside the Library of
Congress, near the Capitol.
They work in what is called the
Legislative Reference Service.
About 65 of the hundred are spec-
ialists, like lawyers, economists and
experts on foreign affairs. The rest
are clerks and stenographers.
It .is their job to help Congress-
men. Top salary for them is $10,000
a Year. Perhaps 12 or 15 make that
mucfi. Here is how they work:
Mr. Jones calls up and says, "I
.have to make a speech on George
Washington. Get some stuff together
for me."
The wheels grind. The man who
knows the George Washington story
best digs up a pile of stuff. He sends
it over to Mr. Jones.
It may be in the form of a speech,
if Mr. Jones wants it that way. All
he has to do then is tack on "Ladies
and gentlemen," and start off.
_ Or Mr. Jones may take the infor-
matio•n•, rearrange it, and then dic-
tate a speech of his own to his steno-
grapher, weaving in the Library ma-
terial.
Or Mr. Smith calls up and says he
has to make a House speech next
week on tariffs. He wants facts and
background.
A library expert on tariffs whips
it together for him. Armed with
that, maybe in the form of short
notes, Mr. Smith makes a brilliant
speech."
Members of the Canadian House
of Commons lack, of course, many of
these facilities for turning out their
speeches, ---•-but we are very much
afraid that they are reaching out in
this direction.
If you are a reader of Hansard,
you may have marvelled at the
knowledge and eloquence of a speech
delivered by a man, who is as dumb
as an oyster, as you have known him
in private life or out of Parliament.
Or you may have wondered at the
intricate contents of a question on
foreign affairs or some other spec-
ialized knowledge, desired by a farm-
er member which often appear on
order papers. --
Well, it might be safe to say that
a considerable proportion of the
speeches delivered in Parliament are
in whole or in part the product of
some one else than that of the mem.

"COU RAGE"
•
It takes courage to do what you
really want to do, and so few of us
have the courage. For instance, one
of those highly successful cousins of
mine from the city blew in here Last
night. He was motoring to some
point up north to spend the week -end
with his family' at their cottage and
then return teethe city fqr the winter.
It was Bill who gave me that idea for
saying that a lot of us lack courage.
Bill is one of my favorite cousins.
He's growing to be short and stout in
a pompish *ay with hair that's thin-
ning to a scarcity. He's always dress-
ed in the best of fashion and driving
a new car. He smokes good cigars
and looks the part of a well-fed and
prosperous banker.
Bill Dame in just before supper time
and it was a foregone conclusion that
he would stay to supper and for the
night if it was at all possible. He ate
heartily in the satisfied manner- of a
man who enjoys good food. We had
just churned yesterday afternoon and
he drank three glasses of fresh but-
ter milk.
"That's the first buttermilk I've
tasted since I left home," he said in
a sort of recollecting way„ "and it's
better than all the fancy drinks I've
ever had since."
He gave me one of those fancy
cigars and we sat 'on the verandah
talking while the night crept in
around us. I suppose our thoughts
were directly opposite because when
I said, "It certainly must be nice to
be able to have cigars like these ev-
ery day," he just laughted and said,
"I was just wishing that I could sit
down and enjoy a smoke • from one
of those corncobs you have on the
window sill there."
So, while he puged on the cob, I en-
joyed the corona. It was warm and
pleasant and quiet •in that peaceful
way of a late summer evening in the
country. You could just sense the
easy way in which Bill relaxed into
that old rocker.
By Harry 3. Boyle
"Phil," he said after a while, "I'd
give anything to be able to trade plac-
es with you."
Coming from a man withi.,an income
in the thousands to a man who has
never had a whole thousand dollars at
one time, it was rather surprising and
I expressed it.
"I never did want to be a banker,
Phil," he said in a way that was al-
most pathetic, "but father wanted one
of his sons to be something other
than a farmer and I was the one
boosted along the way. Today I have
•more money than I know what to do
with, but what good is it doing me?
All I can think about is how to make
more and get more property. The
only people I knew are ones like my-
self who think about the same things
. . and they all start with money."
13111 was quiet then for a while and
went on: "My wife is constantly try-
ing to find something to amuse her -
.self. We go off to stale parties made
up of stale people like ourselves. My
son has never worked in his life and
don't seem in the least way inclined
to start. He spends more in a year
than, I had in all my life until I was
twenty-one. The only young men who
ever seem to go out with my daugh-
ter are fellows who seem to have an
eye on my bankroll. Phil, to give ev-
eryone their dues, we're the hicks and
people like you folks in the country
are the smart ones. Just think of jiv-
ing here where you be happy and con-
tented and there's not a continual fear
of- losing all your money. You don't
have bright lights and noise . . . but
you have calm and plenty of it and a
chance to go to bed at night and be
weary in the way that brings on
sleep, Phil, if I had enough courage
I'd chuck the whole thing and get a
little place in the country and raise
chickens. But every time I mention
it my family starts talking about my
seeing a doctor."
I'll bet Bill would raise good chick-
ens, too. It's too bad he hasn't the
courage to lose all his money and
start over again.
Shoots At Former Goderich Man
More than usual interest was taken
locally in the report of the.bank rob-
bery at Thedford last week, owing to
the fact that a former resident of
.Goderich, Mr. W. G. Moorhead, is the
manager of the bank that was robbed'
and had a narrow escape from what
might have been a fatal bullet, It
was on Thursday morning last that
two armed men entered the Thedford
branch of the Bank of Commerce,
forced the staff to enter the vault„
and made way with, $3,400. Before
shutting the manager and his assist-
ants in the vault, one of the robbers
fired a shot, at Mr. Moorhead, who
saved his life by slamming an inch -
thick oak door in the bandit's face.
Mr. Moorhead, who was formerly ac-
countant in the Goderich branch of
the Bank of Commerce, left here for
Thedford only a few mouths ago.—
Goderich Signal -Star.
:JUST A SMILE OR TWO:.
The head, of the house was reading
a newspaper article very carefully.
When he had come to the end he re-
marked to his wife: "Do you know,
dear, I think that the cleverness of
the father often proves a stumbling
block to the son."
His wife heaved a sigh of relief.
"Well, thank goodness," she said,
"our Bobby won't have anything to
fall over!"
•
A little girl was taken by her father
to an old-fashioned church for the
first time. She stared for a while at
the old Highland minister, shut up
in a box pulpit, thumping the Bible
and waving his arms about.
Then, unable to stand it any long-
er, she whispered in • a frightened
voice: "Father, what will we dae if
he gets oot?"
As the old farmer stood at his gar-
den gate a travelling salesman in
wireless pulled up his car.
"Good morning, sir!" he began,
brightly. "Can I interest you in
a—%"
"Eh?" said
'ear yer."
"Are you interested in radio?" ask-
ed the salesman louder.
"Speak up, man!"
"Would you dike to inspect our new
wireless model?" screamed the sales-
man.
"No thank, 'ee," saidthe old man,
"we got a 'armonyum."
Four miles farther on he came to
a cottage and knocked at the door.
"Pardon me, madam," he began. "I

"Not interested!" snapped the wo-
man. "Besides, I 'eard you the first

Cultivation Best
There is much interest among far-
mers today in the value of a "Chemi-
cal summer -fallow" as an alternative
to cultural practices for weed control.
The average cost to apply chemical on
summer -fallow to destroy certain sus-
ceptible weeds is conservatively esti-
mated at $1.40 per acre, 90 cents per
acre for cost of chemical for one ap-
plication and 50 cents per acre being
the cost of operating a tractor or
truck and spraying machinery. The
herbicides at this rate do not kill the
more resistant annuals and very few
of the perennials. The cos't of one
application of chemical weed killer is
more than for one cultivation by one-
way disc or cultivator. Mechanical
cultivation not only destroys weeds
but facilitates the intake and reten-
tion of moisture in summer -fallow.
Atomis Soil Study
The Atoipic Energy Commission
and the United States Department of
Agriculture will start to study the in-
fluence of radioactive materials ap-
plied directly to the soil in the form
of fertilizer. Previously, radioactive
material has been used as tracers in
research projects aimed. at revealing
new facts about the growth and de-
velopment of plants, insects and ani-
mals. The new project will attempt
to gauge the direct influence of the
material on fertilized crops in terms
of plant growth and maturity.
More Care Handling Eggs in Summer
Fresh eggs being a perishable com-
modity, must be carefully handledif
the poultryman is to receive the best
returns when he markets the eggs.
Wet,' muddy yards in spring, warm
summer temperatures and rough hand-
ling all tend to lower the quality of
eggs and consequently, the returns to
the producer.
If hens are allowed out in muddy
yards, and nests and floors are not
kept clean, too many soiled eggs re-
sult. Such eggs spoil rapidly because
of the moulds and bacteria carried in
the dirt. A similar condition' arises
from' breakages in the nests, and for
this reason, it is desirable to provide
a sufficient number of nestsand to
collect the eggs frequently, especially
during the morning when most of the
hens do their laying. •Soiled eggs
should not be washed; it Is prefer-
able to rub any dirt off with steel
wool
Male birds should be sepasated
from the laying flock as the waren
summer temperature will .cause the
germs •ef a fertile egg to develop,,:
warmth has the additional effect of
lowering the making =gualitiesi of the
eggs, consequently they should be
stored at a cool temperature, about
60 to 65 degrees F.. in a well -venti-
lated room and free from strong
odors. A farm cellar is often par-
ticularly suitable for this purpose.
Even with these precautions, eggs
should be marketed frequently to
avoid deterioration. Care is required
during transportation, as rough hand-
ling and bumping in a truck may
cause the mixing of the yolk with the
egg white.
Clean, fresh water and good, feed-
ing practices, using well-balanced ra-
tions, are important factors in the
production of quality eggs.
Must Sell Seeds By Variety Name
There is a section in the Seeds Act
of Canada which says that seeds of
cereals, potatoes, forage crops and
lawn grasses shall be sold under an
approver cariety name. This section
was placed in the Act to keep un-
scrupulous persons from naming an
old established variety with a new and
attractive name and selling the seed
at outrageous prices. It also prevents
the indiscriminate introduction of.new
varieties Which may not be as good as
the older varieties. Still further, it
protects the name of a new variety
which has been proved to be superior
to the varieties already in use.
Under the provisions of the Seed
Regulations the Plant Products Divi-
sion, Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture, issues a license for sale of any
new variety which is approved. Any
Canadian citizen may apply for such
license to the Division, and the ap-
plication must be supported by the
following particulars:—
(a) The name oaf the new variety;
(b) its pedigree; (c) its originator
and the history of its development;
(d) a detailed description respecting
the characteristics of its roots, stems,
leaves, flowers and seed; (e) its dis-
ease and insect resistance and the
region to which it is adapted; (f) its
yielding ability and maturity range;
(g) a tabulation •of the results of tests
and where they were conducted; (h)
any characters which may distinguish
it from other varieties, and (i) recom-
Inendation of the variety by a recog-
nized agricultural official.
When the descriptions and recom-
mendations show that the variety is
acceptable, a license is granted and
the variety name le added to the list
of established varieties. New varie-
ties are continually being introduced
and these, atter a• period of time,
?gradually supersede same • ofthe older

ense for the dielrsed variety is call.
