Lower Than Others
Recalling the criticism that is be-
ing levelled in some quarters that
Canadian taxes are not as low as
might be the case, the Toronto Star
has this to say: ,
"Those who cry 'high taxation,'
and denounce the Abbott budget as
favoring the rich man, never refer
to the fact that the budget restored
the income tax rates to what they
were in 1949 before the campaign in
Korea sent defence costs kiting. For.
the lower income groups the Cana-
dian rates are lower than those of
the United States, the United King-
dom, Australia or New Zealand. The
;higher income groups still pay more
than in the States. Three-quarters
of a million Canadian wage earners
pay no income tax at all."
Rabbit Problem
Ifanyone has any doubts as to the
ability of the rabbit to multiply, it is
necessary only to look into the situa-
tion that exists in Australia to prove
one's point.
In 1907 a resident on the Island im-
ported five rabbits from Scotland,
thinking they might improve the lo-
cal hunting.
By 1952, the rabbits had spread
over the entire 1,200isquare miles of
the Island. They have invaded and
destroyed many plantations. They
have killed many young trees by eat-
ing the bark. They have cleaned off
xnost''of the grass and even invaded
end stripped ped of foliage t
he local
cemeteries.
As a result Gottland sheep are rap-
idly declining in numbers. Rye and
tcarxot crops have had to be abandon-
ed. The top soil in many places is
blowing away.
Severe shooting and trapping and
the introduction of animals that live
on rabbits have failed to improve
eonditfons. The Forestry, Depart-
ment is about to try inoculating the
rabbits with a contagious and fatal
disease, known as Myxomatases. This
has given some relief, except that a
new generation of rabbits that are
immune to it has appeared.
Scientific Wonders
Those of us who are not .blessed
with scientific know-how continue to
marvel at the manner in which the
electrical wizards cantransmit scores
of long distance telephone conversa-
tions through one thin wire — and
have everything come out right at
the other end.
The explanationounds simple—
frequencies. But it's like trying to
understand electricity itself, insofar
as most of us are concerned.
Wonder increased as we read the
anther day of the new "radio -relay
skyway" linking Buffalo, Toronto,
Ottawa and Montreal. Covering a
distance of four hundred miles, fif-
teen great towers have been set up,
each one with intricate equipment on
top which receives, then amplifies
and beams on to the next station
television programs—and Iong dis-
tance telephone calls.
The system, we are assured, is now
in, successful operation. This is all
to the good unless someday, by some
Mysterious influence, the business
esn't work properly.
The Winnipeg Free Press imagines
hat Would happen "Imagine the

of a telephone conversation inter-
spersed with the agonies of an after-
noon soap opera."
It would be a handy thing to have,
but on the other hand it might be
risky.
Hens and Eggs
There was a time not so many
years ago when a farmer in order to
raise chickens and sell the resulting
eggs, had only to get himself some
pullets and he was in business. Regu
lations designed to safeguard the
public and to ensure a more uniform
products have since been introduced,
but fortunately in Caiada such regu-
lations are held to a minimum.
That is not true in all countries. A
report from South Africa quotes
the following government directive,
which obviously has something to do
with eggs:
"With the approval of the Minister
the board may from time to time pro-
hibit any person or any person be-
longing to any class or group of per-
sons or any person other than a per-
son belonging to any class or group
of persons from acquiring, selling, or
disposing of any quantity of eggs."
The other despatch is from Eng-
land and tells about Mrs. Margaret
Weston. Some time ago Mrs. Weston
tried keeping hens in her back yard.
She soon gave it up as a bad job. That
was 18 months ago. But the Ministry
of Agriculture still sends her, regu-
larly and in spite of her protests that
she now raises nothing but roses and
sweet-william, department form No.
C412/CSS. This form contains 113
questions pertaining to "rough graz-
ing land, stallions, pigs and cows,
moorland and combine harvesters."
Just to read the questions, says .Mrs.
Weston, "makes my head spin."

Frank Speaking By Canada
(Halifax Chronicle -Herald)
Waspish though it may seem that
Canada, the closest neighbor of the
U.S. and the ally most closely bound
in with U.S. fortunes, should express
opinions more in line with those of
Britain than of the U.S., it is probab-
ly a good thing that the people of
U_S. should know that even their best''
friends can differ honestly from them
on matters of international import,
and insist that sound policy is the re-
sult of general consultation and
agreement and not of categorical de-
cisions made upon unilateral inter-
ests and sentiment.
Two Conservative Appeals
. (The Toronto Star)
The St. Laurent Liberal govern-
ment has done so well that the best,
the Conservatives can do is to spread
the untrue yarn that the Liberal gov-
ernment after August 10 would be
some other kind, of a government—
that Mr. St. Laurent would retire.
The St. Laurent Liberal govern-
ment has done so well that the best
the Conservatives can do is to say:
"Vote Conservative to reduce its big
majority." And if that advice were
generally taken the majority would
not only be decreased, but wiped out.
The elector who "falls" for the sec-
ond of those pleas, and votes Con-
servative Simply to reduce the St.
Laurent majority, will be voting
against a government which, is so
good that the Conservatives have to
invent the retirement of its leader
in an effort to defeat. it. And that
will be true also of any electors who
stay, away from the polls to keep the
government's big majority . down.
There is only one democratic course
for::an.elec`lor and that is to vote for

of the barns damaged by the hurri-
cane winds on May 25 have now
been repaired or rebuilt.
A few fields of fall wheat were
cut in the south end of the county
last week. The hot humid weather
has caused all of the grain crape
to turn color more quickly than ex-
pected. Cultivated crops, 'such as
boynbeans, sugar beets, white beans
and more particularly corn, have
benefitted from the warm weather
and made excellent growth this
week.
A Satisfactory Horizontal Silo
In recent years trench and hori-
zontal silos have become increas-
ingly popular for storing grass,
legume, or corn silage. Not only
can such silos be constructed at
considerably less cost than the
familiar lower type, but with the
newer kind, spoilage ie not exces-
sive. The sidehiil stack silo is sat-
isfactory butconsiderable spoilage
of from six to eight inches may
occur on the top and sides. The
sidehill trench silo suffers from the
disadvantage that unless well drain-
ed it may partially fill with Water
in wet weather, and if some or all
the construction is below ground
level it is more difficult to remove
the silage—particularly in winter-
time.
One of the latest and must sus
cesstfdi types of horizontal silos
consists simply of two well con-
structed board fences set paallel
to One ariother. The
skies, to

ly fitted, may be ibahked• with eal'th

I straw. With this silo it has been
found that the spoilage at the top
is only two or three inches in depth
—a much smaller percentage than
would commonly be found in a
vertical silo bolding a similar vol-
ume. There is no side spoilage if
dressed lumber is used because no
air can penetrate between the tight-
ly fitted side boards.
In constructing the silo each stde
wall should slope outward from the
perpendicular by one foot, that is,
if the bottom width of the silo is
12 feet, the width..at the top should
be 14 feet. Twenty feet in length
should be added to the main sec-
tion of the silo to allow for the
sloped ends which develop as the
silo is filled. These are actually
the ramps to allow entrance end
exit of the vehicles used when fill-
ing and packing the silo.
Hints on the construction of
trench and horizontal silos may be
obtained from Information Service,
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
Use of Farm Labor
Important Farm Item
Effective use of the labor supply
on farms and the balance of invest-
ment between productive and non-
productive enterprises are among
the important factors contributing
to the profitable operation of a
Canadian farm. Farm labor, in-
cluding that of the operator and
his family of working age, cofisti-
tute a charge against, the farm or-
ganization. If the value given to
family labor is etiuivalentin

Lot 27
John Chambers, - a brother of
Tom on Lot 22, got Lot 27 in 1853
and lived there till he died in 1891,.
His wife was Mary Lynn and they
had a family of .five—Mary (Mrs.
John Caldwell), John, Jane (Mrs.
Albert Ryckman), William and
James. William and James died in
1877 within six weeks, aged 18 and
25 years. John, Jr., after living in
Tuckers•mitb, for a time, came back
here later, While in Tuckersmith
his son, William, was struck and
killed by lightning in 1904 when
alone in the barn doing chores. The
extra house in which the parents
lived after they retired was later
added to the other house for a
kitchen. It was while Ira Cham-
bers was the owner that the house
was built, which is still in use,

Lot 28
Hon. James Gordon, Stratford,
bought Lot 28 from the Canada
Company, but it was John Nichols
who lived on it from an early date.
It is known that Nichols came from
England, possibly Devon, and set-
tled in Reach Township, Ontario
County. From here he came to this
lot in Hibbert. He married Eliza-
beth, the only sister of James
Stoneman. They had nine of a tam-
ily—Elizabeth (Mrs. Isaac Moore),
John, Thomas, Martha (Mrs. Jim
Dobson), Jane (Mrs. Dave Dobson),
Emma (Mrs. Lou Sands), Grace,
Richard •and William. Several of
the family went to Manitoba and it
was with them the father, who liv-
ed to be over 100 years old, spent
his last days. While William Kins-
man owned it, William Cook lived
in the house for a time, Shortly
after this the house and barn were
burned—the house first and the
barn some time later.
Occupants—Hon. James Gordon
John Nichols, Lou Sands, William
H. Kinsman, Earl Kinsman.
Lot 29
James Stoneman owned Lot 29
from 1855, but may not have lived
here -till some time later. He was
a brother of William, at Rodger-
viile;-John, who was a carpenter
and undertaker in Mitchell, and
Elizabeth (Mrs. John Nichols). It
is said the Stonemans were of
Spanish descent. James married
Tamsine Burton in Cornwall, Eng-
land. Tamsine and Thomas, her
brother, were twins — hence, her
name. Shortly after their marriage
the Stonemans came to Canada and
settled on a rented farm owned by
a -Mr. Nichols, a cousin of John
Nichols. This farm was near Ux-
bridge in•"Reach Township. While
here they worked and paid for
their bush land. Later they mov-
ed with their young family to their

at the age of three years and six -
months, While playing with a
hoop, he drew a bean back through
his nostril and it lodgedthere. This
swelled and choked the child.
James Stoneman died on this, lot
in 1894. His wife spent her last,
years here with her daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and -Mrs. James•
Stark. Richard Kinsman has lived-
here since 1934. Harry Stoneman,•
James' son, lived on the West 5t
for a number of years after he mar-
ried, then moved to concession 13.
No one has lived in this house on*
