WARM IS it?
ere i the stable accommodation
, or the horses o the farmers of this
strict when they bring them into
aforth? That i the question that
Was, first asked The Expositor on the
torday before Christmas. In fact
it was ' asked four different times
-that 'day by four individual farmers,
two from Tuckersmith, one from
• McKillop and one from , Hullett
Township. And the same question
was asked a number of times last
week.
The answer, of course, is very
siMple-: There is none No accom-
modation of any kind. But the query
• which invariably follows that an-
swer is not so simple. "Why?" the
farmer asks. And we can't tell him.
We are well aware of the fact that
the farmer needs this accommoda• -
tion which Seaforth alone, of the
• towns and villages in the county, is
• entirely without. There is ample
- stabling for horses in Wingham,
Clinton, Hensall, Brussels and Dub-
lin, why not in this town?
" Last winter and the year before
• were comparatively open winters in
this district. There were only odd
days when snow kept the cars, and •
'trucks 'off the roads. For the most
part there was free wheeling until
spring. But this winter is something
else again. It is a gentle reminder
• that we, live in the snow belt. That
• we must expect snow, and a lot of it.
In recent years provision has been
• made to keep not only the highways,
but the county and township roads,
• °open for/motor traffic, but already
• the heavy and expensive snow plow -
Aug equipment on the provincial
• highways bas been taxed beyond
• eawity. The same applies to county
equipment; and the township equip-
, mint does not lend much hope to
motorists en the concession roads.
If the ,snow continues to fall, dur-
• ing this month as it did last, the
roads off the highways will soon be
•completely, blocked to motor traffic,
and they, will continue in that state
until spring, because there is not suf-
ficient heavy equipment to open them
and keep them open. People will
• tither have to turn back to the horse
and cutter days, or stay at home.
That is why the question of horse
aeconunodation is prominently to the
• fore again. And, if this winter ful-
fdls its early promise, it will stay
• there. Not every farmer owns a
• truck or a tractor to break the roads
for him. More than half are depend-• ,
ent, upon horses for transport al-
ready this winter. And that half
should be given consideration. Farm-
•eri need some place to kee their
horses from the weather while wait-
ing for their• chop, or While• doing
• their business or shopping in town.
•- It is all right to say they can go
some where else, if they are not sat-
isfied, but distances are very limited
where horse transport is concerned,
and indifference to that fact is sure
• to cause resentment. And rightly so,
• Solving the problem is not at , all
impossible. The country would will-
ingly co-operate ;with the town to
• furnish stabling for all in need of it,
and while the initial expense might
• be heavy, in the end it would prove
a valuabletown asset.
Another View
Another view of Canada's Prime
Minister was given recently by Mr.
• 'Kenneth • Wilson, of the Financial
Post,- who is considered the ablest
financial and economic reporter in
Canada.. -
kiag of the' Quebec Confer• -
enee, Mr. Wilson said: "When Prime
• Minister Churchill met the Canadian
gbinet at Quebec, he closed the
Proceedings with an uneit*cted and

truth that this lasting bond of

and Mr. Xing has brought incalcul-
able results for both Canada and
Great l3ritain.
Newspapers Best
II. J. Heinz, president of the world
famous' food products firm bearing
his name, or rather that of his
father, made the statement a week
ago that his company had decided
upon a newspaper advertising bud-
get "many times greater" than for
previous years.
The president also stated that the
company. Will discontinue sponsor-
ship of the radio program, "Informa-
tion Please," and place the bulk of
its future advertising in newspapers.
The decision, Mr. Heinz said, was
made as the result of comprehensive
surveys to determine the best adver-
tising media for food products.

Where Bombs Did Fall
It may be news to us in Canada as
• well, perhaps, as to many people in
the. British ies, to learn that the
most heavily bombed of all the City
of London districts is Westminster,
which contains among other build-
• ings, the Houses of Parliament,
Westminster Abbey and Buckingham
Palace.
Westminster figures for the per-
iod from September 3, 1939, to Sep-
tember 3, 1944, are 1,955 alerts, 1,071
high explosive bombing incidents, 11
land mines, 95 major oil bombs, 30
• robot bombs, and many thousand
incendiary bombs. Civilians killed in
Westminster by bombs numbered
1,Q99 and the injured list totals more
than 5,000.
More than •60 civilian defence
workers were killed, and more than
200 were injured while fighting
bombs in this arta.
• Among' Westminster buildings
completely destroyed are the British
House of Commons, Guards Chapel,
Christ Church' and St. James'
Church. Westminster Abbey has
been damaged, and Buckingham
Palace, in common with practically
every building in the whole of West-
minster,' has had its windows, ceil-
ings and cloors blasted.
We don't know much about war in
Canada, do we?
• What Price'Turkey ?
The memory of our ,Christmas
turkey has been greatly heightened
ever since we learned thata price of
$6.20° a pound and a total of $108.50
was paid at Alexandria, Minnesota,
for the grand champion turkey' of
the Northern States Turkey Show,
which officials of the show said they
believed both figures were new na-
tional records.
• This' turkey, which was shown by
John Allen, was one, of 500 exhibits
• from all parts of the nation, and was
purchased by the 620 Club of Min-
neapolis.

Quitting New York
The Tokyo radio, it is reported by
the American Office of War Informa-
tion, last 'week sent a. radiocast in
English and beamed to the United
States, which said that great fear of
"the danger of German bombard-
ment" by flying bombs, is causing
New York City • citizens to make
"hasty preparations to evacuate"
• the city.
• "Even though there is, •a report
• that no German bombs have yet
landed in New York," Mayor La
Guardia has said he is "afraid of
a possible panic" when the bombs do
come over, Tokyo said.
So some time.m.,the near future if
Canadians see • a train load of
evacuees passing through their sta-
• tions; or awaken sortie morning to

Christmas seems. to 'be one respite
from this mad, selfish world wealive
in. Man forgets his own greediness
long enough to remember Others,
crams himself with enjoyment doing
it, and then goes, back to the' old
"dog-eat-dog" policy that governs his -
life for the rest of the year. We can
• at least be thankful .that Christmas
and what it stands for hasn't been
eliminated from all the world. May-
be some day we'll realize the folly of
it all and let the Chrtstnias spirit
into our daily lives.
Another Christmas has 'oerae and
gone! Let's hope that the vacant
places will be fihled before another
one comes around, and that the plac-
es which will never be filled, haven't
been emptied in vain.

Federatioe Participates in Production
M eet
The Canadian Federation of Agri-
cultare, as the national voice of or-
ganized agriculture in Canada, ' was
accorded a prominent role in the an-
nual Dominion -Provincial Conference
on the 1945 prodpction program, held
in Ottawa,* Decem,ber 5, 5 and 6. Sev-
en membersof the Executive -of the
Federation, including the President
and Managing -Director, H. H. Han-
nam, were given seats at the confer-
ence table. The entire executive of
12 members had been invited to Rea
titipate, but -circumstances prevented,
some from being present.
In addressing the coriferente •on
the final day, Mr. Tannam, who spoke
just ahead of Honourable J. G. Gard-
iner, ,Dominion Minister of Agricul-
ture, who closed the conference, em-
phasized the value and importance of
this particular type of planning in
production from year to year. It
brought farmers into partnership in
planning the direction of necessary
production adjustments in a constric-
tive way.
Mr. Hannam stressed the trans-
farmation, even revolution, that had
taken place in the Past five years,
from the old position of Widely flue.,
tuatiug prices, with farmers not know-
ing 'what their neighbors were pro-
ducing, nor Provinces knowing what
each other's programs were, 'with sur-
pluses being dumped on the -market,
and With export surpliises+ on world
markets depressing the export Vile -
es, and those +depretaed expert -aria -

quently attacked by a tiny light brown
beetle ---the bean weevil—which lives
inside aireeeeed and when fully grown
emerge e ihriaigh a small circular hole
made in the seed coat. It is widely
distributed throughout Canada and is
a common pest of beans. The weevil
lives in a' small chamber in the seed
which it forms while feeding. Each
insect Makes only one such chamber
but there may be many of these
beetlefeeding at the same time in
a single seed and the beetles may live
for generation after generation in the'
stored beans. •
Infested seed •should be treated 'as
soon as the weevils are noticed, says
Alan G. Dustan, Division of Entom-
ology, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture. Unless this is done promptly
the beans will quickly be anfit either
for food or for seed purposes. All
stages of the bean weaeil are killed
by sub -zero temperatures, so during
the winter 'montas control may be
cheaply and easily carried out by
storing the seed in unheated outbuild-
Inge. Although death of 'the weevil
may not be instantaneOus, all feeding
and development ends as soon as the
insects are subjected to, outdoor con-
ditions which means that no further
damage to the seed takes place.
Growers should be particularly
careful not to plant beans containing
eiving weevils, says' Mr. Dustan, for
not only will the aerrainatiort of such
seed be low but enahy of the weevils
will escape to infest the new.,crop.
The bean weevil may also be killed
,by fumigating the seed with carbon
bisulphide. The procees is slow and
rather_buthersorne, however, and for
this reason growers are advised to
follow tae simpler method's as out-
lined.
- Full directions regarding fumiga-
tion will be sent to any one making
application to the Division of Entom-
ology, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture, Ottawa.
