TRO NOL YtIti,throdin The Pick of Tobacco OTTAWA REPORTS That Canadian System of Meat Rationing Has Been Adopted By Australian Government Australia, which recently went on meat rationing, has adopted the Canadian system with only minor variations, according to Paul Ma- lone, press attache, Office of the High Commissioner for Canada, at Canberra, who was in Ottawa last week. As here, sugar, butter and tea have been rationed for some time and many foods are in short sup- ply although Australia is produe- iug more than at any time in her 'ristory. The farm labor shortage which Mr. Malone says is prob- ably more acute than anywhere In the world has led to some pro- gress in greater mechanization.

Board. The procedure under which a basic . price was established for Bl hog carcasses and prices for . other grades determined by ap- plying discounts, except in the lrlse of Grade A carcasses for which a premium was paid by the packers, will be discontinued. Hogs will be purchased on the basis of their carcass values in the various grades. Government premiums will be paid in the case of Grade A carcasses at $3.00 a carcass, and in the case of Grade B1 at $2.00 a carcass. The prem- ium. of $1,00 formerly paid by the packers on Grade A carcass- es will be paid on the carcass grade value for export bacon. The number of grades has been reduced by consolidating some of them. The grades now adopted are Grade A, Grades Bi, B2, and B3, all B grades to sell at the sante market price. Here is the list of grades and weights: Grade A 140 to 170 lbs, Grade B1 135 to 175 lbs. Grades B2 .,,125 to 134 lbs. Grade B3 176 to 185 lbs. Grade G 120 to 185 lbs. Grade D 120 to 135 lbs.

THE WAR - WEEK - Commentary on Current events Germany Builds High Wall Of Hate Which Will Remain Whs'.n War Ends ,Ift zt "jtedtic endeavor to hold off invasion Germany has con- structed strong fortifications around the periphery .of Europe and on the frontiers of the fatherland, says the Cleveland Plain Deeler. The whole aim of German life today is to live within Fortress Europe .and postpone the inevitable.It seeks to keep the armies of the free world outside `the borders of the Reich as long as possible, There is no doubt that this wall will be breached, Before long the armies that will liberate Europe will invade the soil of Germany, But in his desperation to suspend the consequences of the war it launched Germany has built another wall that will not so easily be pierced. It is a wall that in the postwar years will keep Germany confined, isolated and a third -rate• -power in the affairs of nations. It is the wall of ]tate. Section by section Germany has constructed this edifice that will become its own prison. First was Austria, then - Czechoslovaicia,. then Poland, Denmark and' -Nor- way. Then the Netherlands, Bel- gium, France, and finally the Bal- kans and Russia. Work of Germans Each portion of this wall was built from a blueprint of treachery. It's materials are the lives of thous- ands of free Hien who insisted on liberty for their homelands. It is topped with the barbs of a hatred born of broken homes, slave labor, hostages; larceny, misery, starv- ation and death. No armies :can demolish this wall: It is not open to attack. It is invisible. It exists in the minds and hearts of millions of men, wo- men and children. Yet, intangible, GENERAL CLEAN-UP Maj. -Gen. W. H.

No armistice, no peace treaty can eliminate this barricade. It i"ill exist for years, nay, for gen- erations as the one European fron- tier that can be neither obliterated or even rectified. No enemy raised this ring around Germany. It is the work of the Germans them- selves, And the eonsequences of its building will be far reaching, Effect on Neutral Countries Today people wonder what to do with Germany after the war to prevent a repetition of warfare another generation hence.

Yet the mere read- ing of factual accounts, without any effort whatsoever on the part of teachers and elders to breed hate, will keep this wall around Germany intact. The story of these times will .have similar effects in those coun- tries which were neutral in this war and on those which were neutral in the World War, in the false belief that Germany could be trusted. Denmark, Norway, Hol- land, to mention but three, which Idoked with something of approval on German aims in 1014, have learned a bitter lesson.

Germany cried out falsely against `encirclement' when any small na- tion of Europe tried to defend it- self, Today Germany is encircled as never before in history, encircled by bonds of its owii creation. - This wall of hate will remain when the battles are over. It will remain for future generations. And behind it. condemned to live as a third-rate anu ever -suspected power, Germany will lead the life of the great suspect of Europe. This is the one bit of justice in the great injustice - which Germany sought to work against the world. This time even Germany inay rea- lize that it is self -condemned.

To most Canadians that may mean little except that it sounds like a lot of ground to devote to flowers And so it is—but it pays off. Sunflower seeds are a valuable source of edible oil .and Canada's supply, now limited, needs all the bolstering it can get. Cultivating sunflowers is a profitable under- taking, too, for cash returns run as high as $35 an acre. For wheat it is only about $29; oats $28 and barley $21. Returns from flaxseed, the only other oil crop of importance. run about $18 an acre. Sunflower oil niay be hardened or hydrogenated to produce shortening, In its refined form it is used as a cooking oil. It finds a multitude of other uses in the preparation of such edible food- stuffs oodstuffs as mayonnaise and sand- wich andwich spreads, Sunflower meal, be- sides being one of the highest protein foods, has commercial pos- sibilities for human consumption. In many respects it resembles the soybean. Roasted, the seeds are good eating and have been in high favor for years with people of Russian extraction. . Sunflower protein may be pro- cessed to produce an, egg white substitute for use in baking. Other possibilities include its use in the plastic and nylon -type textile field. The future of the sunflower, officials say, appears almost as bright as the flower itself. cONTAINS E.SS EW lAt. teSNERALS ,, is ri:�t,,•,Cc�.l?.:::a'.
