In the same survey, it was fore - „past that several other counties would be treated in the same way. Just how t'h,at would affect the standing of the political parties in those other counties we do not know, but in Huron and Bruce it would mean that three Liberals would go down to Toronto where four went be- fore. That is }•e'distribution of a kind, and a kind very favorable to the present government. ,What the -opinion of rural Ontario would be of a, redistribution bill of that order, remains to be seen, but we 'believe there is a pretty general 'belief in the country that cities and larger centres are too fully repres- ented now; and that these city re- presentatives have used ..their influ- ence on the side of money corpora- tions and manufacturing, and left any policy that would tend to better agri- cultural interests severely alone. The Opening of .the Legislature The fourth session of the eighteenth Legislature of Ontario was',Qpsned at the Parliament Buildings,' Toronto, on Wednesday by his honor, Col. Herbert A. Bruce, Lieutenant Governor, witn all the old time pomp and ceremony. ' The legislative programme for the present session is a somewhat y meager one, but as a change in the election act and redistribution are on the programme, the shortness of the menu does not necessarily mean a short session. 'But one thing is sure. It will be a lively one. c. Winter Came il} 'h it ih v: i o ,•1•9"Qn sp FEBRUARY '7s'-19 3, •111 L00 -NG OVER THS DISTRICT NEWS MOO FARM NOTES No Waste in Clery. Celery is one of the most economi- cal vegetables one can buy, not only because of its special value as au agent in the promotion of health but also 'because every bit ca the stock can be used in one way or another. :Many people are in the habit pf throwing the leafy part away as use- less but this is a mistake as the leaves provide an interesting new variety of greens. It isi also unnec- essary to discard the hard filerous butts as these are ideal for giving a fine aromatic, flavor to alr soups, sauc- es and stews. Two eveeks ago a man from Lon- don told us that the seasons in West- ern Ontario had definitely and perm- anently changed. That winter had departed to southern climes and that hereafter this district would see winters ,be- coming increasingly warmer as the years passed by. We listened at the time, but we don't believe him now. In fact, we believe that -last Thursday, Friday and Saturday were about the cold- est, stormiest days that we have had in our or five years. They were cold enough anyway, and perhaps we felt diem all the more, because of the ,Wild weather we had had last winter and up until now of the present one. .There is no use trying to fool our- selves. Winter will come in .West- ern Ontario. It has come in fact. Redistribution` for Ontario • There is to be a redistribution of ridings for the Ontario Legislature. That fact is assured. but what form the redistribution will- actually take, rests entirely. in the hands of the Ipreseet. Government, and as yet, the. Government has not spokeri officially. In addition to the redistribution of 'ale ridings, there is to be a reduc- tion in the numbers. of memb which will compose the Legislature. At present there are 112 members, and tl'ie intention; it is believed, is to reduce this membership to 110. Most taxpayers, we believe, are un- animously of the opinion that On- tario, like- other parts of the Do= minion, is over -governed. Any re- duction in the nunbber of ridings, with the consequent saving it will effect, will therefore meet with the hearty approval of the people. ' - • an fact, Ontario could do with ev- en less than 90 nrlemlbers:, without the interests of the country suffering in any way.' At present Ontario has ' 88 representatives in the Dominion Par- Iiame'nt and the Legislature could at least'get along very nicely with the same number. Every reduction ¢Weans a saving and the finances of Ontario could stand a lot of retrench - tient right now, and, from now on. Both reduction and redistribution of ridings are contentious -matters.

A Canadian representative has re- cently eeturned from, Britain where he was associated with the sparketing of the Christmas trade of about 90,- Cr0'0 fatted poultry. The shipment, which consisted mostly of turkeys, went over in "chilled" instead of the usual frozen: condition, therefore came in' direct competition with the home -killed rather than imported stock. He re- ports that because of the quality and attractive presentation of the ship- ment, which was sold chiefly in Lon- don, the stock immediately. attracted the attention of the wholesalers and was quickly sold at favorable, prices. Hle was given the assurance of •the trade that a shipment of equal qual- ity for the 'next Christmas season. could easily be do -tabled in quantity without overstocking the market. Women's Hospital Aids Aids Association An Address More Sheep Registered. In spite of hard times, sheep breed- ers of Ontario continue to improve and enlarge their flocks. The re port of the Secretary and directors• at the recent annual session of the Ontario Sheep Breeders' • Association showed nearly 1,200 more sheep reg- istered during 1982 than in 1931. En- tries have been made at all the lead- ing fairs and exhibitions during the past year, and an exhibit of sheep was again sent to the International Livestock Show in 'Chicago, A. A. McMillan, Federal official, explained grading methods and told members of the Ontario Association that more than the usual four graders for On- tario would be considered if such 'a move were recommended by the As- sociation. He also emphasized the benefits accruing from the Govern- ment policy of .supplying pure bred rams, stating that there was a great need for such stock in some of the flocks.

According to the United Kingdom Trade Commissioner a promising trade in cattle feeds is in prospect • in the British market: i the Janu- ary 21st issue of the Commercial In- telligence Journal -it is stated that the importation of cattle feeds, con- sisting of bran and other flour mill- ing offal, from Canada is compara- tively new,• beginning in 1931 when Canadian shipments rose from prac- tically nil to 22,2:6'3"long tons (2,240 pounds). Of 'this amount 6,000 tons were 'shorts and 'middlings and the remainder bran. According to this report Great Britain • imports about 300,000 tons' of these..protlucts aye. u - ally, chiefly.from foreign countries. Empire countries producing only some 76,00Q tons in 1932.

Will you please Oscine this creed? -It is entirely contrary to the ethics of this Association to fofiter al,ything but harmony and good will and to cosoperate with the Superintendent 'and the Board at all'timee.
