Spring Alwaps Comes Late
No matter how serious may be the
world situation, nor how many new
taxes may be asked of us, there is al -
;ways one topic that take precedence
over all others at this time of year.
,And that is, "When are we going to
get some decent spring weather?"
We have had some nice days when
for a moment it seemed as if .the feel
of spring was in the air. But these
were followed by cold windy wea-
ther; with lots of rain, and even some
show Not the kind of weather that
provides any encouragement to the
farmer anxious to get on the land,
nor to the town dweller fretting at
the delay in getting his garden in.
Probably this spring is no colder,
no more wet, or no later than any
other. But no matter how „ early
spring is, it always seems late. There
as always so much work to be done
in the spring, and after the storms
and snow and confinement of winter,
we just can't get at it quickly en-
ough.
While we may fret and complain,
there is little of practical nature we
can do to help things along, and that
is probably what makes the topic so
intriguing. We never know what
Cie next day may bring, and it thus
well be that before this is read
sp g will be here. We fervently
hope so.

Blue, and What It Means
We are one of those people who
axe somewhat color blind, and as a
result we don't appreciate as we
could the varying hues that are
present on every side to delight and
arouse us. -We never gave the mat-
ter much thought, however, until re-
cently when we read a story about
the color blue, and the effect it has
on different people in differs t coun-
tries.
In a banner, or insignia, i stands
for faith, veracity, integrity d lib-
erty, and as such is used by every
country in the world. e other
hand, some people find it depressing
and are unable to live with it.
Doctors exploit this effect in treat-
ing mental disorders where patients
are nervous and highly strung. In
1938 therapy with color was under-
taken at the Worcester State Hospi-
tal in Massachusetts. Blue was one
of the colors employed in the tests,
aid the report stated: "Blue had a
striking and prolonged quieting ef-
fect. Patients and attendants com-
mented on its soothing quality. This
color was the most satisfactory of
diose used."
Decorators have also found blue to
be a co-operative color, for it blends
extremely well and is useful in a
room with a southern exposure, for
example, which may be extremely
warm. Blue tends to add the neces-
sary "cool" feeling which makes the
rom livable.
The origin of the word is lost in
antiquity. The Ancients apparently
didn't know. it, or avoided using it.
Instead Of the Mediterranean sky be-
ing blue, it was referred to as Ultra-
marine. The first recorded use of
"blue" is about 1700; when it seems
to have slipped into English from the
rrench "bleu." The French word, in
turn, appears to have a Germanic
via, which confusingly enough
Means, yellow or gold.
A reasonable supposition, though
with *o . actual basis in fact, has
WO" e" descending from a Gothic
meaning "to beat"—"the color
ed by a blow."
$s nmia, be the reason why blue,
e industries is recognized as a
lr ,patary color. Certain rail-
1oSt bite mens and. Yaiiterris
that are being repaired, emptied or
filled. Factories use a blue symbol
to mark equipment shut down for re-
pairs.
Just to show that one never knows
the reaction to blue, in heraldry it is
called "azure," meaning piety and
sincerity, while to the Cherokee In-
dian the same blue signifies tribula-
tion and defeat.

Rail Fences
It is not so many years ago that
stump and rail fences were common
throughout Ontario, but today, with
the exception of a few areas, they
have given away to wire and wood-
en fences. With the clearing of bush
land, there was no longer any easy
supply of stumps and rails, and then,
too, the wire fence presented a neat-
er appearance, and permitted the
farmer to put into production the
extra land necessary for the old style
fence.
Recently, however, some people
are remembering that there were
certain advantages to a stump fence.
While it did make difficult the con-
trol of weeds, at the same time it
provided a refuge for wild life and
small game. And what is particular-
ly important in an Ontario winter, it
provided a windbreak which did
much to prevent snow drifting. All
this has led in recent years to a ten-
dency in some quarters to mark farm
boundaries with hedges, and in this
connection an effort has been made
to adopt the multiflora rose to our
climate. Publicity concerning the
benefits. of multiflora got its start in
the United States, where it has been
found suitable for protecting pro-
perty in many sections.
But despite the promotion given
it to the south, Canadian agricultur-
ists teII us the multiflora is the an-
swer to the farmers' fencing prob-
lem in but a few cases. It doesn't
stand up to our severe winters, and,
what is worse, from the farmers'
viewpoint, it requires considerable
maintenance every year when thorny.
deadwood must be removed.
What Other Papers Say:
Town Planning
(Ottawa Evening Citizen)
There are several places along the
St. Lawrence which will be flooded
out in the event of the seaway pro-
ject proceeding and, although those
whose property is inundated will be
reimbursed, there will probably still
be some loss suffered. One good fea-
ture of the situation is that the com-
munities that have to do some worth
while town planning in their new
locations will avoid mistakes that
were made years ago.

Closed Doors At City Hall
(Vancouver Province)
Obviously, for the very reason
that the taxpayer is closely in touch
with the situation, it is important to
keep him interested, to show him
that his interest is valued and taken
into account, and to encourage him
to express his opinion on local affairs
both at the polling booth and at oth-
er times. There is evidence, howev-
er, of a tendency in municipal coun-
cils, to hide from the public when
they are .discussing controversial is-
sues. In Vancouver, the aldermen
retire to their mahogany room, ex-
clude the public and the press and
come out with their decisions made.
These decisions are ratified and the
public loses interest.
•
Boy and Catapult
(Guelph Mercury)
At the present time"there is a ver-
itable epidemic of catapult shooting.
It is common occurrence for a pedes-
trian to hear the whistling of a peb-
ble as it passes in close proximity to
his ear, or the whine of a pellet as
it richochets from the trunk of a tree
or the side of a building. Even
motorists are not free from persecu-
tion by these lads, who are reported
to take pot shots at passing cars, to
the danger of the occupants. ,
This is carrying things a 'bit too
far, and it is about time measures
were taken to discourage the dan-
gerous and destructive propensities
Of these budding sharp -shooters who
use citizens as targets.
Tree Cutting Legislation
Some years ago, the Ontario
Legislature passed an act eutitled
the "Tree Conservation Act." This
act permits a county to pass a by-
law to regulate the cutting on priv-
ately -owned woodlots, with the
Government reserving the right to
approve the regulations. 'Until
this Act was passed, woodlots were
being stripped of all trees, and in
Most cases a barren wasteland was
left. The result was that erosion
became prevalent; soil was wash-
ed away; sterile gulleys formed;
water tables were lowered; and
many other disastrous results fol-
lowed the stripping of the bush.
No one likes government restric-
tions, but when faced with the
facts, one of importance stands out
—that most woodlots are being
badly managed. Much is being
done by the Department of Lands
and Forests in educating the pub-
lic to better woodlot management,
but there is a certain type of per-
son who thinks only of his person-
al financial gain.
Most of the counties in Western
Ontario have passed by-laws to
control cutting on privately owned
woodlots. All the Counties in the
Huron District, which include the
following: Brant, Waterloo, Wel-
lington, Wentworth, Halton, Ox-
ford, Perth, Huron, Bruce and
Grey, have passed by-laws. The
county by-law and the names of
the Tree Commissioners may be
obtained from the County Clerk,
Agricultural Representative, or the
Zone Forester.
The zone foresters are all busy
planting trees on county forests
now. This work is made easier
and faster by the use of mechani-
cal tree planters. There are 17
planters in the Huron district.
Nine of these are owned by the
Department, three by county coun-
cils, two by the Upper Thames
Authority, and three are owned
privately. Most of these were Made
by the Tac -Lite Company at Galt.
The Story of Gibraltar
(From the New York Times)
The Rock of Gibraltar turned up
for mention in two widely separat-
ed places a few days ago—on the
floor of the House of Commons and
in the newspapers of Madrid.
The facet of Gibraltar life that
concerned the honorable members
of Commons was the well-being of
the monkeys resident on the Rock,
a type of Barbary ape that has liv-
ed there since the days of the
Romans. One member of the
Commons inquired, with some ap-
prehension, whether those mon-
keys are in good health, whether
a daily subsistence allowance of
fourpence per monkey is suffici-
ent for then to thrive on and whe-
ther, perchance, their numbers
have increased.
About the same day the Madrid
newspapers were blasting away
once more at Britain for holding
on to the Bock of Gibraltar. That
Rock, the papers said, is Spanish
and the British should be off. The
phrases the papers have chosen
this time may have varied some-
what in vilification., but the attack
is not news: it has been going on
fer decades.
That British flag on the 1,400 -
foot rock at the western end of
the Mediterranean, with Spanish
soil just beyond .it, has been like
something stuck in the Spanish
throat for two centuries.
The Rock, monkeys and all, has
been held by the British since 1704,
when a British admiral, acting on
his own responsibility during one
of the minor wars of history, grab-
bed it. Instead of reprimanding
him, Queen Anne gladly added it
to the string of British possessions.
The Dtitish saw it for what it was:
as it covers the western approach-
es of the Middle Sea it is one of
the key points of the world. The
Moors took it in 1711 and, like the
British a thousand years later,
fortified it as heavily as they could.
The Spanish took it back in 1309.
The Moors retook it in 1333, The
Spanish got it back in 1462 and
hired the best engineers in Europe
to make it inpregnable, yet the
British, with Dutch help, took it
easily in the summer of 1704, The
Spanish besieged it in the autumn
and again in 1726. From that time
on they have always hoped to get
it back.
In 1779, while Britain was busy
with trouble, the Spanish set out
to 'besiege the place in earnest.1
That siege lasted, with more or
less continuing intensity, for four
years. It was rather a series of
watchful attempts to cut off all
supplies from the Rock along with
occasional bombardment and sharp
combat to rout the British out.
Two or three times British ships
managed to get through to relieve
the Rock and to bring supplies to
the besieged. At other times there
were near starvation, scurvy and
threat of mutiny. In 1782, with
the garrison still holding out, the
Spanish planned one great combin-
ed attack, with specially built ships
"fortified six to seven feet thick,
with green timber—bolted with
cork, iron and raw hides . . . and
bombproof on top." On the north,
the Spanish side, were rows of
I new batteries.
In the first hours of the attack
the British gunners on the Rock
could do nothing with the green
timber, the cork, iron and raw-
hides. With time on their hands,
the artillerymen had done some ex-
perimenting and now began to an-
swer the Spanish fire with one of
their own inventions—red-hot shot.
That saved the British on the
Rock. By noon of the next day
every one of the Spanish ships
was blown up or burned.
Since then, and particularly in
recent decades, the British have
fortified the Rock with about as
much metal as it could carry hid-
den deep in the limestone caves
and rarely seen by any visitors.
Aliens need a permit to live on the
Rock. The governor of this Crown
coloney has about 25,000 people to
care for, along with the many
Spaniards who come from the
"Lines," the Spanish towns just
beyond the Rock, as day laborers
and go home at night. The gover-
nor also has to look out for those
Gibraltar monkeys.
For what was probably back of
that query on the apes' health on
the floor .of the Commons was an-
cient superstition, and an odd place
it was for that to turn up. There
has long been a legend that as long
as the apes remain on the Rock
the British will keep possession of
it.
The colonial secretary, Mr. Grif-
fiths, handled the query with fit-
, ting dignity and competence. The
monkeys, he reported with appro-
priately solemn mien. are doing
well on their fourpenny subsist-
ence allowance and there have
been no complaints from any of
them. They are enjoying excel-
lent health. With some modest
satisfaction, Mr. Griffiths added
that the monkeys, which were 20
in number at the end of the war,
are now 30. He did not imply that
this showed any superior benefi-
cencein Labor party policy.
By Gordon M. Greig, Sec. Fieldman
The dairy groups within the
County of Huron, along with the
Federation, sen.t telegrams to our
Federal members of Parliament
asking that they support the re-
commendation of the Dairy Farm-
ers of Canada in asking for a 62c
floor price for butter for the com-
ing year. A reply has been receiv-
ed from both the Federal Mem-
bers, in which they state their will-
ingness to support any recommen-
dation that is in the best interest
of our great Canadian dairy indus-
try.
A copy of Hansard was also re-
ceived from L. E. Cardiff, that con-
tained a speech made in the House
of Commons revelant to the floor
price on butter and the position of
the dairy industry in general.
There are so many important
statements made regarding the
dairy industry that should be made
known to our farm and urban peo-
ple alike, that I am going to at-
tempt to summarize them in this
article.
The speaker was the representa-
tive from Lanark County in East-
ern Ontario and This statements
must have been authentic for they
were not challenged in the House.
Dr. L. B. Pett, of the nutrition-
al division of the Department of
National Health and Welfare, has
stated that "no type of food is
more important to health and good
nutrition than milk products. Milk
regarded as the perfect food.
Dairy products supply 81 per cent
of the calcium required for the hu-
man body, 57 per cent of the ribo-
flavin, 17 per cent of vitamin A
and other equally important. vita-
mins. One pint of milk per day
will provide an adult with 93 per
cent of the minimum requirements
of calcium, 83 per cent of riboflav-
in., and other necessary vitamins,
The housewife spends 20 cents of
every dollar for milk and dairy
products, but in return she gets
more than one-third of all the nutri-
ents she feeds her family."
In ,linking the dairy industry
with conservation the speaker had
this to say: "The raisingof live-
stock provides the beat and cheap-
est method of putting back into the
soil most of the good which the
raising of crops has taken from it.
Good dairy farms do not become
worn out and useless. There is no
use talking conservation if we al-
low farmers continually to crop off
their land, to cut down their wood -
lots in an effort to make a living
for their families without restor-
ing and revitalizing the soil. Such
a policy is little short of national
suicide."
Continuing his link between the
dairy industry and conservation,
the speaker stated: "You cannot
expect a discouraged farmer to
practise the new methods of farm-
ing. There must be a healthy dairy
industry in order to preserve4,he
land. This dairying industry should
not be made up of discouraged
farmers. It should be an industry
which will give an adequate return
for the investment; it should be an
industry that will stop soil exhaus-
tion and thereby aid, soil conserva-
tion. In the long term view we can
visualize abandoned farina unless
there is a future for the dairying
industry much brighter than exists
now."
In referring to cost of produc-
tion, the Lanark County Member
remarks: "The Ontario Depart-
ment of Agricu.iture survey carried
on by Dr. H. R. Patterson from
May 1, 1949, to April 30, 1950, in
Lanark County, showed that the
average diltiryman in Lanark Coun-
ty lost $147.00 on his milk produc-
tion. The average cost of produc-
ing 100 pounds of milk was $2.83."
Farm labor costs were figured at
