i!ARIVERS SHOULD' WORK TO-
GETHER
Hon, Manning Doherty, who was
minister of Agriculture in the Drury
Government, seems' inclines'to work
with the incoming Government Tor
the good of Agriculture . Following
the defeat of his government at the
polls he said:
"There are a number of plans that
we had under way that I would like
to see the government go on with,
and :1 would be inclined to work with
thelia if they cared to go on with
then. Tlie greatest of these was the
plan for co-operative marketing. It
was all in shape to be launched this
June, but when I heard that -there
was an election' •eomifg .off I gave
orders to cancel arrangements for the
time being, because I did not want to
see the matter of co-operative mar-
keting made a political issue, It would
have been the worst thing that could
have happen'bd to it. I was one Of
the men who ,.tried. •to keep 'the U. F.
0. from. going into ` .politics: in the
first place, and I am more convinc-
ed than ever. that I was right in
this contention. ..The economic prob-
lem of the farmer is far greater than
his political problem. When the
farmers went into polities they weak
ened their position as businessmen
because they , were, divided on
political lines. I would like very'
much to go ahead 'with the cooper-
ative marketing, and I intend to go
ahead with it regardless of polities.
We have all the machinery ready
now and the contracts signed. It will
include fruit, tobacco, beans, honey
and the poiduets of the dairies of
the :province. I hope the ag•ricultur-
ists of the , province' see that their
best interests he in coming together
as businessmen . and not as poli-
ticians. 'I am more firmly convinc-
ed than ever that if they do this it will
be the biggest step ina(1vane@ that
agrieultural Ontario can take.','

Quack remedies and academic

preach blue ruin, decry their own

fulness of the fact_ that just as,
there was no royal road to win

road to pay for it or r gain our

find there is no escape anywhere.
In seeking for easy remedies to -o

Carelessness withcigarette

operations -human carelessness of
some kind accounts for over 95%
of the forest fires in Ontario.
It is impossible to say how many fires
along railway lines are not due to engine
sparks, but to the thoughtless smoker
tossing away his cigarette or cigar butt.
However, there is no doubt a'fair num-
ber
um ber of forest fires originate in this way,
and such are preventable. Each in-
¶,lividual should . realize his personal
responsibility to be careful with fire in
any form in northern Ontario.
