The Huron Expositor, 1941-03-21, Page 6re 4, PILLS SWEET CAPORAL atHE PliaaaT M •I1J V C TO0ACCO , Cia • C 'SMOKED.' i tring war time especially, the be - r in gardening is warned not to pat more land into garden than he Calls, handle. Instead of producing a ' ;lot that is a joy to his own family sand the envy of his neighbors, he may sim* have opened up a wider space fors weeds to flourish. Plowing or spading up a new piece of land is al- most certainly going to be followed by a luxuriant crop of weeds, unless eultivatio}i is maintained. This is not difficult with a small MAKE PERFECT BREAD piece of ground. One person can handle a quarter -acre of vegetable garden in spare time, provided he is willing to devote an 'evening or •so a week to. it. If this time is not available then a mobil smaller plot should be chosen. -As a matter of feet, all experienced gardeners• advocate a • small, well cul- tivated plot in ,preference to one larg- er and receiving less care., The small- er plot, too, in the end will produce the best and the most vegetables. If the original digging is followed. promptly and regularly with from two to four thorough cultivations, about a week to ten days apart, the weeds will get discouraged. To make sure, however, that the weeds are kilted, and not just temporarily put off from starting, it is. well to allow sufficient time in between cultivation for the pests to germinate and start to grow, Hot Beds A hot bed for starting garden seeds earI•y is usually prepared in March. It consists of a bed of fresh horse manure, which supplies the heat, about 18 inches deep. On this, .twq, or three inches of fine. soil is planed and .after the bed has heated up and there cooled down again (a matter of three or four days) the seed is sown in rows a few inches apart. The bed is protected by rough boarding along the side and on top, and sloping to- wards the south -about. 10 to 18 inch- es above the bed •is 'placed, a window sash well glassed. If only a few plants are wanted, these may be started from, seeds sown an fiat box- es indoors and placed in sunny win- dows. Like garden seed, it is important to secure •nursery° stock -fruit trees, rose .bushes, shrubs, perennial fiowers, etc. -from a reputable source and • one that is familiar and caters io Cana- dian conditions, Good stock is pliable, green and shows plenty of. live buds. 'Roots are I mr,isand well wrapped to exclude i the at' air. ayuch will grow readily when iplauted. Brittle wood, wrinkled buds. or none at ,all, all exposed, dry roots pare ap indication of inferior; usually cheap stock. It it grows at all it will take years to make a real show- ing. Nursery- stock shbuld be planned as ;oon as the soil is fit to work, and aurchased before this time Or if in- r•anve'nient• to plant, roots should• be temporarily covered -with moist =earth, on ptants should be "stored 'in a cool, dark ,cella; .and. Foots kept moist: • Monday, March 0 Naturally, a measure which appro- priates a billion drollars, arouses in- terest, and !the curiosity of Parlia- ment as to what it -is, all about, for what it . is being spent and where and under what conditions. To get all this information is, of course, the function of the Opposition and 'tibia was the 'business before the House today. • :The feature most prominently dis- cussed was shipbuilding. There is 'rivalry on the East and West coasts in reference to this work. Ships are needed badly bu(t as in the case of many other products, it takes time to get under way. From some Opposi- tion Members came reports that thou- sands .were a'railable for this sort of work, but Mr. Howe, said that at the moment these companies had all the work they could handle. One of the B. 0. members suggested that engines and equipments for ships be built on the Pacific- Coast. Another told of the numerous skilled men who want- ed jobs at shipbuilding. To the first of these Mr. Howe an- swered that the Department had al- lowed (higher prices to those on the Racine coast and then they came East and bought their equipment. To the other, .'he said that the companies gaCe. as the reason for not making more progress that it was impossible tq get sufficient skilled: men to speed up production. The B. C. member said he could secure 1,000 mien im- mediately and Mr: Howe suggested that was splendid and he would be glad tq pass this information on to the companies. Another feature of the discussion., was on the labor question. Some of the labor members, complain that the eoinpani'es are rl'ot"iising their men as they should and demanded the Gov- ernment correct tbis, but the general opinion. is ,that .there is not .a great deal to complain about. Another question referred to was the wheat policy of the Government. There is a serious •situation .develop - .lug with the tremendous amount of wheat in storage. The Minister said • that a policy would be decided on in the near future. * * Tuesday, March 11 The war appropriation hill • was again before the House for discussion, and some 1ihe1y exchanges took place in reference to conscription, free transportation, etc. During the fall sessigp.

THE ONLY NATIONAL APPEAL FOR OUR MEN IN UNIFORM National Headquarters, 200 Bay St. Toronto etAlaate GI 3D AR 5ERVI(E FUND s 5.500,000 • airman for CV cf man for 0 as Esq. C0 srq,, Toro ae erboro-Hastings, made a speech in which he erilt4cized everything done by the Government in a military way. Today he came back with the same sort of a speech. He demanded com- plete conscription. He denounced the training system. He demanded free transportation for soldiers, He ridi- culed the Government for not having the soldiers overseas. He.. made a vicious attack on the Province of Que- bec. Altogether it was a speech, of made outside of the House, would run right up against the Defence of Can- ada Regulations. " As the member concluded his speech, he was asked if all the Prov- inces did not oppose conscription in the last election, Hon. Mr. Ralston gave a .comprehensive review of what has already been done and what is still planned to be done. The Min- ister spoke for well on to three hours and opposition members expressed their a s) preciation for the excellent way in. which he laid all his cards on the table. In reference to Captain White's ad- dress, he said some people are never satM'fiecl unless they are putting a bur under the saddle; or ,-ereatiug some difficulty. • He reminded the member, that he, as a supporter of Dr. Manion, had • pledged themselves that there would be no conscription. Captain 'White's 'reference to Quebec brought from the Minister the retort that it is unworthy of .a gentleman of this House, and it is unworthy of a gen; tleniht in the King's uniform, to come before the people, 'then to be elected on a platform such as he was elected on avid in the ma denounee the whole thing: He said Captain White is an officer and it is his ditty to see that men under him are not able to tom- plain about their lot. As a ...veteran, of the Great War he believed that the splendid young men in• Canada's army today are in there for the purpose of defending Canaria and the Empire. That is their • chief concern. They know what the country is up against and he could not. believe that the free transportation was being demanded in order for them to fully discharge their duty. Mr. Fulford, the member for Leeds,• who is also a reserve officer, although not wearing;; a uniform, said he had often heard it said that for the most part dissatisfaction in a regiment can be traced tri the doorstep of the ed- it -tent, and he added, I believe it is Unnecessary for me to tell the House who is the adjutant of the Prince Ed- ward-Hasting's Regim.enl.. Considerable time was spent dis- cussing decorations, etc, The Opposi- tion was suspicious of some radical changes, but Chubby, Powers relieved their .mind on this paint. The same bill will ,come up again tomorrow, * * e Wednesday, March 12 • Desk -thumping and cheering..was the way the news that the Congress of the taS.A., had 'passed the Lease Lend Bill. The Prime Minister made a statement expressing the 'apprecia- tion of 'this country regarding the ac= tion taken by, Congress 'that drew (rounds of applause from all' sides of the House. .Mr. Hanson briefly spoke for his party and generally there was a feeling of thankfulness that the United States is now committed to assist Britain in; the terrible struggle in which the whole Empire is engag- ed. War appropriation expenditui•e was again before the committee, Ralph Maybank, Liberal from Winnipeg, at- tacked the Allied War Supply Cor- poration for not using lignite jn the new plant for manufacturing cordite which is established not far from Win- nipeg. The member seemed to have a good case, but of course the en- gineers were not there to present their side of the. argument. •The member was rather nasty in his pres- entation of bis case, but everyone has their own . method of approaching these questions. The Minister of Trade and .Com- merce presented the policy for dealing with the wheat situation in the West- ern Provinces. Tbere is a problem out there that is increaliing all the time. 1•t is estimated that there will be -a carry over of some 575 million bushels of wheat. Elevators are full; a new crop will soon be doming on. Many farmers have nothing to sell but wheat. If they go out of wheat entirely and go into hogs. beef cat- tle and dairy products, we would have a surplus of these products as we have of wheat. The whole problem is surely a headache for those hands litig it. The Federation of Agriculture want a processing tait of 65 cents a bushel. There is riow a procesiang tax, of 15 cents. attt.,will stay' .at that prid. The guaranteed initial price is still 70*. The Government will only take 230 Million bushels. The farmer. rvhe puts -his land under simmer fallow, who plows it, but does not seed it, will get a bonus of $4.00 Per each a.Cre$ not sown. There . are also provisions if he Maas to arise or &Mtge .grain. TUC: tvito#e pOttny •ts hien to eriti• SAVING LIVES To the soldier in the field of action ,this man's job is all-import- ant.

The Minister of Labor today took some time to deal with the statement made by,, Mr. MacInnes, C.C.F. of Van- couver. 'A few days ago this gentle- man made quite a story in reference to the labor situation. The Minister dealt with it very effectively and did not take too long to do it. The, committee on war expenditure had its organization meeting today...It will ,get down to work next week. It is hoped that this committee can do useful work. ..... ... Thursday, March 13 • • Discussion 'continued -today on the war appropriation' hill. That interest in :this debate is dwindling was quite evident by. the small number of mem- bers who remained 'in the House to follow the speeches Made . by Mem- bers', from al'•i groups. The Liberal members took 'very little time today and there was very little of really new material given .in any of. the speeches. • Mr. Adamson (Cons., Toronto) made some rather serious, charges. He claimed that the Anaconda Company of Toronto had been a million and' a half lower than the Canada Wire & Cable Company, Montreal, on the brass contract, but the Montreal Com- pany secured the contract and then had to get the Anaconda 'Company to show them how to do the work. MraHowe said that this Was a ser - lout; allegation and pointed out that this matter would be referred to the •'at the mouse of- the aeries of acaa lette in the air training ventree.:The MODE - bora, s, one .e,'R 1 all, are anx eelp to ex- tend their sympathy to, Uwe berea11 e ed. committee of expenditures and that Mr. Adamson would be called as a witness. Dr. Bruce, the distinguished mem- ber from Toronto, who was leader of the Leadership ;•League, contributed his little part to the debate by read- ing every word: This honorable member has ran foul of the Speaker on numerous occasions, but it seems quite ,impossible for him to do any- thing 'ether than read every word he has to say, which is, of course, against the rules. Angus MacInnis (C.C.F.) returned to hist debate with the, Minister of_ Labor and after forty minutes effort it is just where it ,star•tedi-neither hindering nor helping our war effort. Mr. Kuhl (B.C.) gave us another or- ation on the monetary• question and claimed, of course, that the Bank•oi° Canada should and could issue d1l the money necessary to finance our whole war effort without loans or taxes. It sounded all so simple, but we have in mind the fact that it is 'now six years since the Social Creditors un- dertook to paly $25.00 per' month to every citizen who had reached the age of 20 years. * * * Friday, March 14 No progress was made • today in committee of the whole on the war appropriation bill.
