M Later that night Mr. Mcurachy learned of the loss and returned to the fields armed with an ontan- tern to retrace his daughter's steps in an attempt to find the lost plant. He did find it! But that was not all He piaeed the few kernels from the plant in an envelope for safe keeping until Spring, but mice got into the en- velope and destroyed most of them. The few meagre kernels were planted, gave yield and were plant- ed again and again. By 1935 he had enough of the new variety to seed six acres, something from six to 12 bushels. That was the beginning. In L935 the Manitoba farmer supplied the new seed to the Federal Govern- ment's cereal division in Ottawa and to the cereal breeding labora- tory at Winnipeg and the experi- mental farm at Brandon. The rest of the story is the long patient experimenting of scientific cross -breeding. The new Selkirk wheat is a mixture of McMurachy's original seed with Redman and Ex- change wheats. Its main value is, of course, its resistance to stem rust prevalent in Western Canada. Mr. McMurachy's original per- sistence 24 years ago started in motion the development of this new variety.

' On motion of Kaufman and Has- kins, council adjourned to meet on August 5, or at the call of the Reeve. All This From A Few Kernals of Wheat (From the Regina Leader -Post) The Federal Government is to be commended for taking action to set up an annuity for the Manitoba wheat farmer who set in motion 24 years ago the chain of seed bree, ing which has resulted now in the new -Selkirk wheat, which promises resistance to race 15B 'rust, the latest scourge to threaten Western Canadian wheat crops. Mr. Gardiner, agriculture minis- ter, told Parliament that the an- nuity was being set up for Mal- colm S. J. McMurachy, and his wife. Now 76, Mr. McMurachy has retired from the farm and lives near McConnell in Manitoba. The new Selkirk wheat which sprang from the few kernels Mr. McMurachy went to such pains to preserve 24 years ago, has been distributed for the first time this spring. About 170,000 busheds are out across Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan, the areas most af- fected by stem rust plagues. Each farmer who applied got six bushels of the new wheat. Larger quantities were distributed to grain clubs, registered seed grow- ers and to experimental stations and some went to the United States for development there. The story of the beginning of the new Selkirk wheat is both sim- ple and stirring. It reads like a novel. Mr. McMurachy, long inter- ested in experimenting with new wheat varieties, spotted one plant of rust -free wheat in a rust -infect- ed field he was harvesting near Strathclair, 'Manitoba, 24 years ago. ncien D oder. Pressure p� (Froth the Ontario Government Bulletin) Three thousand acres of land fac- ing the most famous 35 -mile stretch of international boundary in the world are under the Control of the Niagara Parks Commission, one of Ontario's important government services. Annually around ten million peo- ple visit this part of the border. For a long period now each suc- cessive years has been breaking previous records and from present indications it seems certain that the total of visitors in 1954 will reach an all-time high. The Commission has one of the world's most impressive settings in which to carry out this task. Much of the boundary consists of the gorge carved out by nature during geologic ages and includes the great cataract that is one of the wonders of the world. o the people of Canada, of On- tario especially, the area has even deeper importance. This whole stretch of border across the Nia- gara Peninsula from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. is rich in associa- tions of historical events that de- cided their national destiny. The focus of the system of parks under the contrel of the Commis- sion is, of course, the great na- tural phenomenon of the Falls tit - self. t - self. There is the beautiful origin- al Queen Victoria Park and the Oakes Garden Theatre from which to view the'cataract in its sweep- ing grandeur. The Oakes Theatre is a natural amphitheatre that has been landscaped in rock gardens, lily ponds, terraces, flower beds and shrubbery as a setting for its imposing formal architecture. Under the juridisction of . the Commission the Niagara scenic boulevard runs in either direction from Niagara Falls 21 miles south to Fort Erie and 14 miles north to Niagara -on -the -Lake, through a parkway system in which sites of beauty and interest are strung like gems on a thread. The Commission's activities are directed from the Administration Building in Queen Victoria Park. This park is policed by the Com- mission's own force and the rest of the parks system, including the scenic boulevard, by the Provincial (Rural Scene) When men abandoned their no- madic way of life and began to settle in permanent comnaunitles where they could earn their. living by workings saving, and trading, they soon discovered the need of rules and regulations to govern their conduct towards each other. Those with common interests, such as working at the same craft, formed themselves into associa- tions or guilds and pledged them- selves to stand by and help each other in times of danger or of need. The ruling sovereigns found these guilds very helpful in estab- lishing orderly government in the towns and boroughs. They adopted the practice of granting them char- ters, which conferred on tll„em authority in certain specified mat- ters in their communities. The charter of the tanners of Rouen read: "Henry Duke of Normandy . . Be it known that I have granted and confirmed with this my charter to my tanners of Rouen their guild. 'No one shall ply their craft in Rouen except with their permission." Charters such as this were valu- able documents. Those who held them held monopoly rights in the work they did. The merchants' guilds made the rules governing trade and commerce . and enforced them. The craft guilds made the rules governing their crafts and had authority to enforce them: They decided who might or might not work at the crafts, the number of years they must serve as appren- tices before they could qualify as craftsmen, the hours they should work and the wages they should receive. The guild inspected the work of its members and imposed penalties for inferior workmanship. It also determined the extent to which workers might compete with each other, and the prices at which the products should be sold. The ostensible aim of the sys- tem was just prices and just treat- ment to everybody. On the sur- face it looked like a good system. But it had one fatal weakness. It gave into the hands of interested groups the power to decide who should be allowed to work at a craft, to fix the prices they should accept for their products and the quantity of such products that could be produced. Human nature being what it is, every group fixed all these things 'n its own 'interests and saw to it that „its monopoly of the craftwas complete. All these restrictions had the ef- fect of keeping goods scarce and _tear. They kept countless -thou- sands of willing workers out of all skilled work, and left them with no means of earning a living except as serfs or menials. So widespread and so serious Police paid for by the Commission. For a considerable distance the and under the Horseshoe Falls and rapids is vested in the Commission which receives an annual rental of $73.0,000 for water diverted by power companies including the Hy- dro. This and some $400,000 net ncome from several enterprises run by the Commission are its sources of income for the mainten- ance and improvement of the park- way. Like a pendant on a necklace he original Queen Victoria Park 's still the centre of this string of parkland s. It faces the Falls and upper rapids and consists of pleas- ant tree -lined driveways through awns bright with tower beds. At he southern end of dhe park are he Dufferin Islands. a delightful beauty spot formed by an elbow of the Niagara River with many pic- turesque cascades and placid wa- terways. The only school of gardening of its kind in North America is oper- ated by the Commission a little farther north. There are 200 acres of school ground within the parks system where 24 students follow a three-year course in gardening, in- cluding horticulturefloriculture, agriculture, landscaping, soil chem- istry and allied subjects. The school was originally designed to provide trained gardeners for the parks. but many 'graduates obtain employ- mentwith municipalities, • ot her parks, .private estates, etc. The students, who are 90 per cent from Ontario, are provided with accom- modation, board and living allow- ance and are given certificates up- on graduation. The most commanding view of the whole area is afforded by Brock's monument on Queenston Heights. The monument rises 185 feet from the heights which in turn are 340 feet above the river. General Sir Isaac Brock, here commemorated, was m o r t a 11 y wounded leading a charge up the Heights. Nearby' is the monument to Laura Second. At the foot of the heights the peaceful little village of Queenston is the location of the restored home of William Lyon McKenzie. In this building was published the first newspaper in Upper Canada, the "Colonial Advocate". Between Queenston and Niagara -on -the -Lake are .Fort George and Navy Hall. Fort George where General Brock was originally buried, dates from 1796; it was restored in 1939. In the bright sunlight of morn- ing and the mellow glow of sunset the Falls are an enthralling sight to visitors, but perhaps the excla- mations of wonder from thousands of throats are loudest when this natural spectacle is illuminated at night. Twenty-four, 36 -inch search- lights using approximately one bil- lion, 320 million candlepower, pro- vide this illumination. The Niagara Illuminating Board, which has In - Stalled the searchlights, is support- ed jointly by the Canadian end Annerican cities of Niagara Falls. The current is supplied urtthout charge by the Hydro Electric Poon- ett OomOmiftitfon of Ontario. were the sufferings caused by thefts monopolies that one historian' de.

The guilds are gone; but human nature has not changed. The spirit still persists. Men still crave mon- opoly in whatever work or busi- ness they happen to be in; and they still honestly believe that their particular monopolies would assure prosperity to all concerned. Labor still struggles for the clos- ed shop, the check -off, and gov- ernment support in its demands for more than it is willing to earn.
