Side by side on the merchant? shelves —
Canadian materials and "imported" goods. Do yo'
get any advantage when you go for
"imported" products?
In textiles, at least, the answer is simple. Canadian
mills turn out fabrics and yarns that match or
better the production of easy other textile country,
of the world in quality.
They are made by Canadians who are paid
good Canadian wages; they are designed to please
Canadian tastes, meet Canadian needs.
This is no plea to shun "imported" materials.
They should be considered along with domestic
products by every Canadian consumer, but on a
strict what-do..1-get-for-my-dollar basis.
Ask for Canadian textiles if you want the best
- for your money.

The Fanning Mill
by Bob Carbert
These days the farmers are busy
seeding, and it won't be too long until
the fields are taking on a new colour
and a new hue. Yes, the fields will
start out by turning green, and then
later on this summer, they will develop
the yellows and the golds of harvest.
Somewhere along the line a lot of
fields are going to turn other colours,
blue, yellow, black and white and
green, These colorful scenes, usually
referred to by our urban cousins, as
bright and typical of the rural coun-
tryside, are at the same time, colours
that most good farmers try and stay
away from. I am referring to the blue
of the chicory plants, the yellow of
the wild mustard, the black and white
of the ox-eyed daisy or black eyed
susahs, and the greens and blues of
the common thistles.
These colours may attract the eye
of the motorist passing by but to the
fanner they are almost about as wel-
come as a bad, attack of pink eye or
the.measles. They mean that the yields
of grain are cut down, that the qual-
ity of the grain is lowered, and that
it's going td cost plenty in time and
expense to bring those weeds under
control.
For example, the wild mustard. It
has been said that the average plant
of wild mustard will yield in the
neighbourhood of 15,000 seeds, and
that is a pretty productive neighbour-
hood, In other words, if you have one
plant this year you stand a very good
chance of having several thousands
next year, depending of course upon
the germination of that seed, Oddly
enough weed seeds always seem to
have a high germination rate. Then
of course the same thing can be said
for the other weeds that we mentioned
earlier.
In many cases where there is just
an odd plant in the field of grain, you
can walk through the field and pull
these daisies, mustard and chicory
plants, spud out the thistles sad such
weeds andaeleatt up much of this col-
cur that its 'to be found around the
rural areas.
However, in extreme cases, such as
we find in so many areas, and espec-
ially following a planting of flax, or
some other small seeded crop, there
remains one or two alternatives.
Spraying with a chemical that is de-
signed to clear up the pest, or constant:
cultivation, Either way costs a little
money, but they will pay off. Accord-
ing to the Ontario Department of Agri-
culture, a crop of mustard will use
enough moisture to produce another
10 bushels of grain per acre and
enough nitrogen and phosphorus to
produce twice that amount of grain.
Weeds may be attractive to the
passerby, who is unaware of their
nuisance value, but to the farmer they
are a pain in the neck, When you
have a nein in the neck you get to the
chiropractor and have him take that
kink out, Why not do the same with
the weeds this year? 'Plant clean peed,
Work the land well, and keep a con-
stant watch for weeds that might poke
their heads up above your grain and
attempt to make a flower garden out
of ,the field.
Varied Drama Fare
At Goderich Festival
Comedy and mystery will provide
varied fare for this year's Goderich
Drama. Festival to be held at MacKay
Hall, April 27, 28 and 29. The local ex-
ecutive expect this to be one of the
best festivals to date because of the
wide range of entries,
Ong of Canada's outstanding play-
wrights, Robertson Davies, will have
one of his plays in competition when
the Galt entry performs his well
known "Etats at Breakfast."
The St. Mary's Little Theatre Group
have announced that they will per-
form "A Marriage Proposal" by
Anton Tschekoff, a well-known Rus-
sian dramatist specializing in domes-
tic comedies,
Auburn and Dungannon are each
presenting an earthly comedy. The
Auburn Group Will present "Diet Be-
gins Tomorrow" while inuagannon will
present "Fetehin' Pa Around."
As yet InitclumeraWaterloo and Sar-
nia have not informed the local execu-
tive of their choice of plays but It is
expected that they will have strong
contenders, Sarnia is considered of-
ficially to be one' of the strongest en-
tries since it ranked high in the re-
cent regional festival held for the
Dominion Drama Festival.
As announced earlier, the Goderich
Little Theatre Group will present a
mystery entitled "The Monkey's
Paw." The Goderich Collegiate entry
has withdrawn from this year's festi-
val.
Two local hotels, the Bedford and
British Exchange have kindly offered
one room each free of charge to be
used by out of town groups attending
the festival.
On Monday, the opening night, Dun-
gannon, St. Marys and Auburn will
perform, They will he followed on
Tuesday night by Kitchener-Waterloo
and Goderich, The last night of the
festival Sarnia and Galt will present
their entries and will be followed by
the final adjudication and trophy
awards,
